Bandana Waddle Dee was on a seat in the Burger King. He was sitting next to a boy named Tails. Donnie was on his phone watching downloaded TikTok videos. And Sly looked more cunning than ever.

"Wanya!" (I will have a cherry juice, please.) Waddle Dee said. He decided that apple juice was getting repetitive, so he decided to drink something new.

"An orange soda, please." Tails said.

"Water." Donnie said.

"Chocolate milk." Sly said.

"Why would you want chocolate milk? You're extremely rizzless." Donnie snorted. When the drinks were served, they started some chatter.

"So, who are you?" Sly asked Tails.

"I'm Tails. If you ever need me, I'm your hacking guy." Tails said.

"And how did you get here?" Sly also asked. "Also, thanks for the offer, but I already have a hacking guy. His name is Bentley."

"Time machine accident." Tails said. "And neat!"

"Also, time machine accident." Sly responded. "If I remember correctly, Le Paradox stole my Paraglider and ditched me."

"Really? Who's this Le Paradox?" Tails curiously asked.

"He's a real stink, let's just say." Sly retorted. As they chattered, Donnie drank some of his water.

"At least they got the drinks right. I had a feeling." Donnie said.

"Wanya wanya!" (Yeah, me too!) Waddle Dee agreed. Sly looked out the window, and saw smoke.

"Where there's smoke..." Sly said.

"They pinch back!" Tails jokingly said.

"Hold on, I'll be back." Sly walked out of the Burger King to see a vehicle, none that he'd seen. He walked toward it, finding someone unconscious inside. Sly broke the glass with his cane, and checked for a pulse. He's alive. Sly thought. He grabbed the person and stood him up. "Hey, dude!" Sly called out, trying to get them awake. "Wake up! Wake up!" Sly sat the person down near the vehicle. The person slightly opened his eyes, and, turning to his right, saw a blob that looked like his rival.

"W-Wolf?" Fox weakly said.

"I'm not a wolf, but I'm Sly Cooper." Sly said, introducing himself to Fox.

"No, no. I'm not saying that you're... forget it." Fox said. "Hey, where am I?"

"Ohio, apparently." Sly answered. "Who are you?"

"Fox. Fox McCloud." Fox answered.

Well, that's a totally unique first name there. Sly jokingly thought. "You might wanna follow me. I have a safe spot."

I have a suspicion about him, but I guess I should follow him. Fox thought as he followed Sly.
