Angry Passion, Chapter 3- The Cool Blue One

Me Cinder, Sonic Team All.

Did you know Dr. Eggman's real name is Ivo Robotnik? 'Cause it is.

Cinder's P.O.V.

'Hmm… Sonic eh?' I thought. 'Sounds like a cool guy.' Ivo had shown me a picture of him: A cool, blue hedgehog, glassy green eyes that said confident, cool-headed and not to mention brave, and spikes longer than anything. No matter. So I rushed into the city… this 'New' Station Square.

Everything looks so different from which I last remember it. Tall skyscrapers that could probably reached the heavens themselves, and cars that were slick and smooth. Even the TV's were different, showing full color instead of a plain grayscale. But of course, my mom always forced me to listen to the radio instead.

Right away I noticed a hot dog stand. Ugh… I haven't had a hot dog in who knows how long. I walk up to the vendor and ask, "How much is a hot dog?"

The vendor replied with, "Two dollars."

"What!"I yelled. "I'm just a kid! I can't earn two bucks!" and I stormed off. Soon enough there began a vigorous itching on the inside of my ear. It felt like… a tick. Again and again I picked at it, after a while receiving a shock.

"Ow! What was that for?" I yelled.

"For trying to pry off your communication device." Answered Ivo's voice. I jumped back, oh, maybe three feet.

"Agh! Ivo? Where are you?" I answered in alarm.

"At home base." He replied. "I will communicate with you via this device in your ear. It's… almost like a telephone. Do you understand this?"

I nodded, but forgot that he couldn't see me, and answered with a short "yes." Then I thought for a minute and said, "Uhm, why is everything so expensive?"

"It's called inflation," he groaned tediously. "Remember Cinder, it's not 1964 anymore. A lot of things have changed. Now get to work."

"Yessir!" I saluted. No longer than had I rounded the corner than to encounter my target.

Normal P.O.V.

Sonic was having a normal day with his buddy Tails, being followed by Amy Rose as of any day of the week, when all of the sudden, another hedgehog had appeared out of nowhere.

"Hi." She said. Sonic smiled.

"Hey. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you." He replied coolly.

"I'm Cinder. Just Cinder," she informed. They shook hands plainly.

"These people behind me are Tails the Fox," Tails waved shyly. "And Amy Rose." Amy gave a suspicious and dirty look to Cinder.

"Hey um, I'm a reporter of…" Cinder brainstormed. "Station Square Gazette." she lied. "I want to ask Sonic a couple of small questions."

"Shoot." Sonic blurted.

"OK, uh…" Cinder's memory went fuzzy.

"Oh, Cinder." Ivo slapped his forehead. "What are your views on Dr. Robotnik?"

"What are your views on Dr. Robotnik?" Cinder repeated, blushing at her forgetfulness.

"Uh, Robotnik?" Sonic gave a moment to think. "Ohh, you mean Eggman!" Sonic gave a nervous giggle. Cinder rolled her eyes. 'What an embarrassing nickname,' she thought.

"Well, uh, he's evil." Sonic summarized as much as he could. Cinder gave him a look that said, 'And?' "And I'm not, so… I stop him. I never thought deep about that before."

"And, ah… um…" Cinder stuttered. "OK, I guess that's it! Bye!" she ran off.

"What a nice girl." Sonic stated. Amy bopped Sonic in the head.

"Sonic, you blockhead! Don't you know the Station Square Gazette was defunct just after 1971? She was lying!" she yelled.

"Yeah, it's kind of weird," Tails wondered aloud. "The Gazette isn't mentioned in any history books, in fact, barely anyone in Generation X really has any knowledge about it!"

"Then how did she know about it?" Sonic asked. "She didn't seem all that knowledgeable, seeing how she paused so much."

"Tails, maybe you should look into the archives. Maybe there's something about this girl. It feels like I've heard the name a few times." Amy commanded. Tails gave a slight nod.

'Cinder… better remember that.' Tails thought. With that, Tails ran off… to the library!

"Nice work, for your first mission." Robotnik stated. Cinder said nothing. "You can take five for now. I will call you from the intercom when you have another mission." Again, Cinder did not react.

And so she began to walk away, but turned her little head around, facing the madman, eyes fixated, and said, "Why do they call you… Eggman?"

"Shut up." And she walked away.
