Bonzi Blows the dust off the story. Oy. I haven't updated in a long time. Ah well. Onward!

Dual suddenly sat upright in his bed. It was the night after the race between him and Sonic. The rest of the day had been pretty uneventful, except for Sonic taunting him the whole day afterwards.

"Hmmm…I guess this was the kind of adventure I was looking for. Kinda unexpected, but…wait, what am I doing up?" He thought back to a few minutes ago. "…Odd." He laid back down, the sat up again. "Now I remember!" He woke up because of a strange dream. This is what he remembered.

The dream started with Dual walking across green, flat plains with a clear blue sky. As he continued, he reached a tree. Instead of stopping at it or going around it, he walked into, and through it. As he continued, his vision panned out so he could see himself. As he entered the tree, everything turned black and white, matching the color of his fur, and rendering him invisible. As he continued, he stopped in front of three renditions of himself. One, standing on the black side, was pure white, with all the spines on the back of his head flowing together like a robe. The second, standing on the white side, was all black, with short spines sticking out above his head like unkempt hair. The one he was paying the most attention to him, however, was the version of him standing in front of him. He was gray, and had the spines curling around his neck.

Who are you? Dual spoke wordlessly.

I am you. The gray him responded similarly.

Why am I here?

In the future, you will have some choices to make.

What kind of choices?

I cannot tell you. You will need to find out on your own. All I can say is that there was a reason you were brought here, and one other thing.

What's that?

These two that stand beside me will help you in due time. It is up to you to choose who it will be.

How will I know who? When?

You will know. NOW ISH TIME FOR TACOES!

The group of three all began dancing with maracas under the light-pink weekend darkness as a banana ran by yelling "TOASTY!" Then Dual was yanked from his sleep.

Dual suddenly sat upright in his bed. It was the night after the race between him and Sonic. The rest of the day had been pretty uneven-

"Wait, that just happened to me! I'm just trying to remember the dream!" He coughed a little. "Weird. But still, what did I mean in that dream? I don't understand a thing I was saying… I guess I don't make much sense." Dual hopped out of his bed and walked into the kitchen to look in the fridge. "Milk…eggs…bacon…ugh. All breakfast stuff."

He closed the fridge, and was about to walk into his room, when he got an Idea!™. He walked into the hallway, and saw that the door to the storage room was open. "I bet it's in here…" He crept his way into the room.

Despite the fact that it was a storage room, it was well kept and organized. Dual looked through some cabinets, and found what he was looking for. A Chaos Emerald. It was the only one in the cabinet, so he was kinda worried that it would be missed, but he didn't care. He was just happy that he was going to get to go home. He ran to his room.

"First thing's first." Dual muttered to himself, clutching the gem in his left hand. " Now, the words were 'Chaos Control', right?...Well, it's been fun..." He quietly yelled out the words.

"Chaos…Control!"

A whole lotta nothing happened.

"…Well, crud." He walked back to the storage room, and put the emerald back where it was.

As he walked back to his room, he heard a crashing noise. He flinched. "God…dammit…" He turned around to see what it was. Sonic and Tails sprang out of their rooms to see what was the matter.

"What was that noise?" Tails asked as he burst out of his room. A mechanical noise was heard down the hallway.

"Is it Metal?" Sonic asked Tails.

I piped in behind him. "Of course it's metal! What does it sound like?"

"No, not metal, metal, Metal Sonic. Shh! It's coming!"

A small figure turned the corner into the hallway.

"Crabmeat." Sonic muttered under his breath. He walked foreword, and crushed the crab robot under his foot. "Well, that was pointless."

"Yes," Tails started to explain," but that means that Robotnik's back."

"Robotnik?" Dual had a confused look on his face. Sonic turned around to face him.

"Robotnik, also known as Eggman, is the general baddie. He causes a lot of trouble for us."

"Ah." Dual had a look of understanding on his face. "Well, I'm going to bed. 'night,"

"G'night."

"Good Night!"

All three walked into their rooms.

I smell a story line…

Dual: You're mean.

Me: Ah! How'd you get in here?

Dual: Chaos Control.

Me: But you can't…Hmmm….Also...

Merry Christmas!
