"WHAT?!"
Sonic laughed to himself. Surprising people was so much fun, but one could only do it once. "Yep. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog in true blue! Well, actually, it's true blonde currently, but I could fix that."
"Prove it!" Principal Gibbons screamed over the phone.
"You've seen me run right? What human could do that?"
"Proof enough. So, you're saving the world, right?"
Sonic sighed in relief. The good principal was learning! "Yep. Robotnik's here and he's causing mayhem as usual. However, I don't mind the job; the kids love me, I get cash I could really use, and it never seems to run over the crime-bustin' time I have against the Robotnik, except when I get really hurt or on 'all day' events. Sorry about that anyway."
"Don't apologize. I hadn't realized..."
Sonic was just about to interrupt when Principal Gibbons suddenly cut the line. Looking confused, he handed the phone back to Mrs. Anderson. "He...cut me off..." Sonic mumbled, still confused.
Yelling was suddenly heard from the living room next to the kitchen. Mrs. Anderson rushed in, hoping to break up the fight. It was Cody and Tails, fighting over a card game where one was accusing the other of cheating. Actually, it didn't really matter who was cheating who, as both were accusing the other of the fact.
Sonic sighed again, this time in frustration. There wasn't a wheelchair in the house and the crutches Mrs. Anderson did have from when she broke her foot wouldn't be helpful with no free foot to lean on in the first place. There had to be some way back to Mobius!
Almost as if on cue, Shadow walked into the room, raiding the fridge of any orange juice it currently had left.
"Hey, Shadow, ever been to Mobius?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, once. It was like a dream come true, but I somehow crossed back to Earth and died, causing me to return back to my original body, if I'm understanding Knuckles right." Shadow walked over to the table and sat down next to Sonic. "However, I'm not really sure I understand in the first place, and I'm wondering how Knuckles knows so much!"
Sonic thought to himself, searching for some sort of answer. "Well, he's lived with the Chaos Emeralds all his life, and he used to travel the different worlds on his little island in the sky...Maybe it's because of his world and people before they disappeared or something."
Shadow nodded. That seemed to make some sense...
"By the way, where is Knuckles?" he asked.
"I have no idea, but I do have a different idea," Sonic answered, confusing even himself. "Hold out your hand."
Shadow, also confused, did so.
"Now, think of Mobius as hard as you can..."
Both Shadow and Sonic concentrated hard on the thought of Mobius, the home of one and the dream of another. Reality began to slip from them, and together, they let go...
