A MSTing by Captain Chaotica!!
Original story by Sonique.
PART THREE
(Satellite of Love Bridge)
"Aw, come on, you guys, we can get through this..." said Joel, putting his hands on the 'bots shoulders.
"I'm not SPEAKING to you, Joel." huffed Servo, flinching away.
"What about you, Crow? You don't hate me, do you?"
"You're NOT my real father!" snapped Crow, pulling away in the other direction.
"Come on, you guys, you know it's not MY fault how bad the movies are; Dr. F. and Dr. E. send 'em to us. I can't do anything about it." Joel shrugged.
"Joel!" rasped Gypsy, coming in from the side. "I got something for you here."
"What is it, Gypsy?" Joel took the papers out of Gypsy's golden mesh "mouth" and looked at them. "Hey, you guys, here's something that might cheer you up!" he said, in a falsely cheerful voice. "We got phone calls!"
"Oh, bite me." muttered Crow.
"Stuff the stupid phone calls." muttered Servo.
"Is that any way to talk to our loyal viewers?" admonished Joel, straightening up and looking directly into the camera. "Hey, Cambot, can you give this first one to me on a blue slate, bold Helvetica font?"
(Computer voice: Caller #1: 7:54 pm.)
"Hi, this is Joe Hedgehog...uh...I'd like to order a pizza...pepperoni with extra cheese." (Beep)
"WHAT?!" said Crow. "This is a TV show, not a pizza parlour!"
"Yeah, Joel, that call didn't cheer me up at all!" agreed Servo.
"Hush, you guys, people make mistakes, punch the wrong numbers sometime..." said Joel. "Uh, Caller, we kind of can't deliver any pizza to you, 'cos we're sorta stuck up here in space 'n' all, ya know, that's one of the advantages of being trapped in a satellite orbiting the Earth..."
"But I suggest you call up Dr. Clayton Forrester and Dr. Laurence Erhardt at the Gizmonics Institute and ask THEM for pizza," said Crow, snickering.
Servo began to crack up, too. "Yeah, they've got plenty!"
"Okay, shut up you guys, here's our second call..."
(Computer voice: Caller #2: 7:56 pm)
"I pity you, poor soul. If there's anything I can do to help... anyway, tell Dr....whatshisname that he's not giving you lame enough movies." (Beep)
"Oh, come, ON!" snapped Crow, rolling his eyes. "Have you even been WATCHING the show?"
"Yeah, the movies Dr. F and Dr. E. send to us are really, really, bad! I'd like to see YOU survive worse with your sanity intact!"
"Yeah!" agreed Crow.
"Yeah!" said Gypsy.
"Okay, calm down," said Joel, "We got enough time for just one more call before Commercial Sign."
(Computer voice: Caller #3: 8:15 pm.)
"Hi, I'm Adrani from Happyworld... wow you have a satellite phone? bwahahahahahaha I call from the dark side of doommmm and um do you guys know where I can find some caffeine?" (Beep)
(Stunned silence on the Satellite bridge)
"Whoah, missy, I think you have had PLENTY of caffeinne already!" exclaimed Joel.
"That evil laugh...is she working for the Mads or something?" wondered Crow. "I'll bet she's related to Dr. Forrester!"
"Yeah, that brand of insanity sure is familiar, Joel..."
"Uh...Adrani...if you're watching this," Joel began, "you should cut back on the soda pop RIGHT NOW!"
"Yeah, and if Adrani's mother happens to be watching this, ma'am...lock your coffee cabinet!" quipped Crow.
Servo went into a hushed, dramatic voice: "Caffeinne Addiction: Harmless Foible or Silent Killer? We reveal the shocking truth...after these commercials."
(Commercials)
(Joel and the 'bots file back into the theater again.)
While the two of them spoke to each other, Sally quietly searched her way through the junk piles. "Ah-ha!" She finally found Alison and Sonic a few feet ahead of her. She knelt down behind a junk pile so she couldn’t be seen, but she was too far behind them to hear what they spoke of.
"Princess Sally."
Sally gasped and alarmingly turned to face Snively.
JOEL: "Alarmingly"? I think you mean, "Alarmed, Sally turned to face Snively"...right?
CROW: Well, Joel, I dunno...you know Sally...
"Why would you spy on the hedgehog?" He asked her in his usual snobby voice.
Sally glared at him, "I’m not spying. I’m just... watching them."
"Theme!?"
SERVO: (as Sally) It's okay, I'm not a spy, I'm just a voyeur!
CROW: "Theme"? Well, I'd SAY what the theme of this story is, but...
"No, no." Sally said. "That’s a typo, it should say ‘them’ not ‘theme’."
JOEL: Hey, hey, Sally, WE'LL riff the movie, IF you don't mind!
"Oh." Snively remarked. "Them?!" He looked over to where Sally had been looking and saw Alison talking with Sonic. "Ohhhh... how I hate that girl."
CROW: You and us together, pal. You and us together.
He muttered grimly. He noticed how comfortable both Sonic and Alison seemed to be with one another, then he figured out why Sally had been spying. "So," he turned to Sally, "Alison’s trying to steal your guy?"
JOEL: Hey, guys, how much you wanna bet me that Sonique's real name is "Alison", or something close?
(crickets chirp)
CROW: No bet at all, Joel; we think you're probably right.
"What?!" Sally shrieked. "That’s absurd! She would never do that."
"Oh, come on, Sally, just look at the two of them. I can see how badly she wants him." He smiled sinisterly, "And if you want, I could help you dispose of her."
(ALL, chanting together) DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
Now Sally had become angry with Snively. Just the thought of him thinking Sally would do such a thing to a Freedom Fighter seemed crazy. "Snively! There is no way I would ever betray a fellow Freedom Fighter."
Alison replied to Sonic, "I dunno, Sonic, she was really mad at me yesterday. I think she’s jealous."
"Jealous of my good looks?" Sonic asked proudly.
CROW: (rolls his eyes) Oh, good Lord. Joel, can we ask Snively to take out a hit contract on him, too?
"No, Sonic, of us being together all the time."
"So, you think Sal is spying on us because she thinks you’re trying to steal me from her?"
Alison nodded in response.
"Nah, Sal’s too mature for that."
Alison looked over to her left and couldn’t believe her eyes. Sally stood off in the distance and had been watching them. "Oh, no? Look." She pointed over to where Sally stood.
JOEL: (as Sonic) Whoah! She's been standing right out in the open, only about twenty yards away, all this time! How the heck did I miss seeing her there, for so long?!
"Huh? No way!" Sonic felt betrayal inside. How could his own girlfriend not trust him? "I don’t believe it. Why would Sal... how can she... what is..."
"Like I told you, she’s jealous."
Sonic folded his arms across his chest, "Well she’s got nothing to be jealous of." He smiled deviously for a second.
JOEL: Oh, yeah, that'll make ya look trustworthy, Sonic.
"What?"
"I’ll give her something to be jealous of." Without saying another word, Sonic took Alison by the waist and kissed her lips.
SERVO: (singing, in a falsetto, Southern accented voice) "Let's give 'em somethin' ta talk about..."
Snively and Sally had been too busy arguing that they didn’t even notice at first, but then Snively looked over and exclaimed, "See? I told you!"
Sally looked over expecting to see nothing, but nothing could have prepared her to see Alison kissing Sonic. Her jaw almost dropped to the floor as she saw her boyfriend holding another female in his arms and kissing her ever so tenderly.
CROW: Yeah, usually Sonic is known for holding males in his arms and kissing them ever so tenderly...OW!
(JOEL is holding Crow's head-net in his hand) Watch it, Crow. I can reprogram you any time I feel like it.
Sonic let go of Alison and she backed away from him, "What was that?" She demanded.
"That outta teach Sal a lesson."
Alison smiled because she understood now, "Ooohhh, good one." Together, the two of them walked away from the junk piles and out of Sally’s sight.
"Ohh, I knew it! I knew it!" Sally kicked the ground in rage. "How can she do that to me?"
SERVO: (as Sally) Ooowwwww, I stubbed my toooooeeeeeee!!!
"Y’know," Snively declared, "my offer is still up for grabs."
Sally wanted revenge more than anything at the moment. She didn’t even know what she was thinking when she turned to Snively and replied, "It’s a deal!"
Alison peered about. She had separated from Sonic, because she hoped she might catch a glimpse of the echidnas Wendy or Sorceress.
CROW: Who the HELL are these guys again, and why do we care?
JOEL: Servo, you have any idea who they are?
SERVO: Not a clue, Joel.
JOEL: Guess they must be the author's own characters from an earlier story, or from the Fleetaway comics or something...
CROW: Oh, great, Joel, don't even JOKE about the possibility that there might be more stories by this author out there! What if Dr's F. and E. find 'em?!
She slowly made her way towards Robotnik‘s; after all, that happened to be the last place she had seen Wendy. As she walked along, she suddenly saw Snively, and she froze. Her heart pounded inside her. She stood there staring at him with googely love-filled eyes. She stifled the impulse to shout out his name and confess her true feelings for him.
(ALL crack up laughing)
(JOEL begins humming sappy music and mimes playing a violin throughout the others' dialogue.)
SERVO: Oh...my...GOD....!! I can't believe she actually USED words like "googely love-filled eyes" and "her heart pounded inside her!"
CROW: Geez Louise, Joel, THIS fic practically riffs ITSELF!
"Alison!"
At the sound of her name, Alison startled and turned to face who had called her. "Uh-oh, it’s Sally." She thought to herself. She tried to play it cool anyway, "Oh, hi, Sally. What’s up?"
In her hand, Sally held a
JOEL: --gun! She shot Alison down in her tracks and stomped away, not sorry at all.
SERVO: (singing) "She had it coming! She had it coming! She had it coming all along!"
CROW: (joining in) "I didn't do it! But if I'd done it--"
JOEL: (joins in) "--how could ya tell me that I was wrong?!"
CROW: Whoo, fun.
small quarter shaped tracking device Snively had given her. She hesitated to put it on a loyal Freedom Fighter, but she did have a plan. She would let the SWaTBots capture Alison, but before they brought her to Robotnik she would jump out at them and distract them long enough to grab Alison and run.
JOEL: Oh, I dunno, I like our revenge plan much better, actually...
Once her plan had worked, Sonic would surly be impressed and take her back again.
CROW: Or he would go, "My true love! I'm so glad you're SAFE!" and clasp Alison to his bosom even harder! You might want to rethink this, Sal...
She fingered the device nervously. "Hey, Alison. Need help getting back to Knothole?"
"Uhh..." Alison backed away, "..no, I’m okay. I was just looking for the Sorceress."
JOEL: In that case, I suggest you try a Harry Potter novel; I doubt there are any sorceresses in this story...
Sally came up to Alison and put her arm around her in a buddy manner, "Did you ask Uncle Chuck?" Then, after many doubts went through her head, she stuck the small device on Alison’s shoulder, and pressed a button on it which activated the tracker.
CROW: HEY! Bweet! Bweet! Copy alert! Copy alert! That's EXACTLY the same way Xanatos got the tracking device stuck on Goliath, in "Gargoyles"!
Alison nodded not knowing what Sally had just done, "Yeah, he said he’d keep his eyes peeled."
SERVO: Ouch. Sounds painful.
"Well, great, but I need to be getting back to Knothole now." She took her hand off Alison and began to walk away, "See ya, Alison." She called innocently, then quickly walked around a corner. "Phew." She took out the small communicator, which Snively had also given to her. "Snively." She spoke into it. "Snively?"
JOEL: (as Sally) One to beam up.
SERVO: (as Snively) Stop fooling around and give me the report, you!
After some static, Snively responded, "Is the tracker in place?"
"It’s all taken care of. It’s all up to you now."
"Yes... thank you, Princess, you won’t regret this."
Sally turned her communicator off and put it on the ground.
JOEL: Um...shouldn't she have kept the communicator? It might be valuable later on, 'n' stuff...
"It’s up to you now, Sally-girl." She said to herself and with those words, headed for the main entrance to Robotropolis to carry out her plan.
Alison ducked behind a small pile of trash closer to Snively. She had heard part of the conversation he had just held and couldn’t believe her ears. "Princess??" She whispered aloud to herself. "Who is he calling Princess?" She didn’t think for one minute that he had spoken to Princess Sally, but instead thought he spoke to a girlfriend of his. She angrily and jealously stormed over to him, "Hey!" She yelled.
CROW: "Jealously"? Is that even a word?
SERVO: I'M more concerned about Alison's rather odd taste in men...
Snively gasped and turned to her.
"Who’s this Princess you’re talking to? What’s her deal?" She put her hand on her waist and
CROW: --started to cut her own stomach out with a samurai sword.
stared at him as if demanding an answer.
"Uh... no one... it’s not your business anyway."
"What does she see in you?? I feel sorry for her having a boyfriend with a lightbulb for a head."
SERVO: Hey, Joel, is Snively another one of your robots or something?
CROW: Yeah, lightbulb for a head...does sound like the type of thing you'd build, Joel.
SERVO: If he's our relative, can we write to him and ask him to get us down off this darn satellite?
JOEL: No, guys, I didn't build Snively--he's a human, not a robot.
Snively angrily shook for a second then replied calmly, "I feel sorry for whoever you end up with because he’ll probably have a larger bust than you."
(ALL snicker)
SERVO: (as Snively) Uncute tomboy!
CROW: So, what, Alison is Lina Inverse, now?!
Alison gasped in rage at his horrible remark. "Hey... you... I..." She felt so shocked she couldn’t even speak, but she stopped when she heard sirens behind her.
CROW: Sirens often go off, whenever Alison is around...
She knew immediately SWaTBots had spotted her, but when she turned to look, she couldn’t see them. "Where are they?"
Snively violently grabbed Alison by her upper arms and held her tight,
CROW: As opposed to gently grabbing somebody...
but in response, Alison struggled to get free.
JOEL: No, really? THANK you, story, we never would have figured out she was doing that if you hadn't told us!
SERVO: I thought her response would be to do the Hokey Pokey and turn herself about.
"Let me go!" She ordered.
"Not this time, you won’t escape!"
Alison continued to squirm til finally, she pounded her foot on top of his.
"OW!" Snively let go of her and bent forward to soothe his injured foot.
CROW: Ooh, shouldn't have tried this with her on the day she wore her six-inch-high spike heels...!
"Stupid flat chested piece of..." He grumbled.
Alison began to run forward but then saw the SWaTBots approaching swiftly on air and foot. "I’m not giving up that easily." She reached for her gun, then gasped. It was no longer in her holster! She frantically searched her belt but to no avail.
JOEL: Of course. It's a rule of Narrative Causality: A main character shall not lose their weapon until it is the most dramatically appropriate time to do so.
A SWaTBot came right up to her, "Surrender Freedom Fighter." He ordered.
Alison sighed in despair; SWaTBots surrounded her from every direction and she couldn’t escape. Even jumping would be risky; she had no choice but to do as she was told. She held her hands up in the air and surrendered to them.
CROW: She surrendered to her own hands?!
Sally positioned herself behind a wall near Robotnik’s main base ready to carry out the last part of her plan. She peered out, looking for the SWaTBots and the captive Alison. "Where are they?" She asked herself growing slightly impatient and worried.
Finally after what seemed like too long, she saw two SWaTBots approaching the building and carrying Alison as she struggled to free herself. She stood up and was about to run out and distract them, but she
SERVO: --decided to just fall over in the street laughing as hard as she could, instead!
froze. "Oh my God." About ten more SWaTBots on foot, six on hover units and Snively followed the two in front. "Oh no!" She had no idea so many SWaTBots would be there.
JOEL: (dripping with sarcasm) No! A whole ton of SWATbots at Robotnik's main base? WOW! Who woulda thunkit?!
She figured two or three, but no more than four. She shook her head and frantically tried to think of an idea to save her. Finally, she came to a conclusion, "I have to get Sonic." Without hesitation, she sped back to Knothole at full speed not looking back or worrying if she’d be spotted.
CROW: Once there, she cracked open a six pack of Bud Light, put on some tunes, and forgot all about Alison, the end.
The SWaTBots brought Alison into his chamber. Alison continued to struggle despite the fact she knew it’d do no good. Robotnik had his chair facing backwards because he didn’t know Alison had been captured.
JOEL: And because, if he had it facing forwards, he couldn't do the traditional Dramatic Main Villian's Reveal thingie.
The SWaTBots stopped a few feet in front of Robotnik’s chair and Snively came forward to brag, "We caught her, Sir."
"Caught who, Snively?"
Alison spoke up angrily, "Me you fat piece of shit!"
JOEL: (gasping) Language, young lady, LANGUAGE!
Immediately, Robotnik turned his chair around to face Alison. He glared down upon her and she exchanged his glance.
CROW: For a couple of pennies and a stick of bubble gum.
SERVO: Yeah, glances aren't worth what they used to be, these days.
CROW: Dang inflation.
Sally ran out of the city as fast as her two feet could carry her. Her feet pounded on the pavement in a fast rhythmic beat. She paid no attention to what dangers may be approaching behind or aside her; she only focused on the street which seemed to only get longer as she ran ahead. As she reached the end of the city, she realized she had been holding her breath for the long time she’d been running; she quickly exhaled and took another gaping breath in.
CROW: This pointless interlude brought to you by: Padding! When you just have to fill two hours, any way at all.
SERVO: (singing) Way, hey, slow the plot down...
JOEL: Wait you guys...I'm confused. I thought she was already back in Knothole...?
Robotnik stormed up to Alison in his usual angry manner, "You dare swear at me?"
She glared up at him, "I’ll swear at whoever I want."
"My, my. Such a harsh tone for a young lady." He responded.
ALL: (in unison) SHE AIN'T NO LADY!
"You think I got this far in my life being nice and dainty?"
Snively leaned up against the wall, "Not a chance."
Both Robotnik and Alison turned to Snively, "Shut UP!" They yelled simultaneously.
SERVO: Was that supposed to be funny? 'Cos I couldn't tell.
After what seemed like ages,
CROW: ...and if you measure it in terms of how long it feels while we're reading this story, it was...
Sally finally reached the great forest. She had been running full speed the whole time, but ignored the pains she felt in her side and stomach. The jealously inside her had completely vanished, and had been replaced with a feeling of guilt and shamefulness.
SERVO: Pff. Of COURSE. Can't have anybody at all actually disliking the Mary Sue, noooo!
"How could I have sent a Freedom Fighter to what could be her doom?
CROW: If we're lucky, anyway.
Who cares if Sonic likes her? How could I have done that?" She asked herself over and over again. She couldn’t understand what she had been thinking before, but knew she had to someone make everything better. She needed Sonic to save Alison before Robotnik finished her.
JOEL: "knew she had to someone make everything better." Did anyone else understand that?
SERVO: Is this "Sonique" person any relation of Dr. Thinker, perhaps?
Two SWaTBots let Alison to a cage in the prisoner dungeon. Alison stepped inside and heard
CROW: The sounds of silence!
the cell door slam shut behind her. At first she just stared ahead wondering how she’d escape, but then she heard Robotnik speak in a low tone, "You will tell me where Knothole is, my dear."
Alison turned and glared at him, "I’d never tell you anything of the sort, no matter what you do to me."
JOEL: Why do they always have to say something like that? Don't they know by now that they're only taunting the villain?
Robotnik growled and replied, "You should not have said that." He turned to his SWaTBots, "Stay here and guard the cell.
CROW: And the molecules too, while you're at it.
Don’t let anyone or anything in or out."
Before he left he turned back to Alison again, "I’ll be back for you." With those words, he left the area leaving Alison
JOEL: --bereft and lonely in a cold, cruel world!
alone with the SWaTBots.
Alison knew she wouldn’t be going anywhere too soon, so she decided to sit on the small bench and rest up until she could think of a way out. As she leaned her back against the wall, she felt
SERVO: ...a secret panel start to move behind her...
CROW: I'm surprised that cliche hasn't happened yet.
something small poke her in the shoulder. She reached behind her and felt the tracker device on her shoulder and pulled it off. For a short second she stared at it trying to figure out what it was
JOEL: (as Alison) Hey....this doesn't look like a piece of my missing Walkman...
and once she figured that out, how it got there. Then remembered Sally had touched her shoulder soon after Sonic had kissed her. "Sally." She sighed.
Sally shot out the sliding tree and into the hay pile. Immediately after she landed,
SERVO: ...on her face...
CROW: Hey, you know what they say...any crash you can walk away from...
she slid down the pile and began running toward the village, but stopped when she saw Bunnie approaching her.
"Sally-girl, y’all look like ya’ve seen a ghost. What the ho-ha happened?"
JOEL: (as Sally) What?! Bunnie, I don't have my Universal Translator on; you'll have to speak English.
Though winded, Sally managed to choke out, "Al.. *pant* Alison was captured."
Bunnie’s eyes widened, "Oh mah stars! We gotta get her!"
CROW: (as Bunnie, sinister) IF ya know what I mean....heh heh heh.
SERVO: Is Guido's number still in the yellow pages?
"I know." Sally leaned forward trying to catch her breath. "I... I need to find Sonic."
"Last tahm I saw Sugah-hog he was with Tails bah the powah ring pool!"
JOEL: (as Sally) What? The last tame certain-fog is with Tails batting the purple ring pool?
Sally stood up straight, "Okay." She was about to run again but Bunnie stopped her.
"I’ll get ‘em Sally-girl, y’all look a bit winded."
"Thanks Bunnie."
Bunnie smiled for a second then rushed off
CROW: to the mall.
in the direction of the power ring pool.
Alison sat with her head in her hands and sulked as she thought of how to escape.
JOEL: Well, sitting there and sulking isn't going to help anything, missy.
Her mind raced furiously,
CROW: (as Alison's mind) Grrrr! GET OUT OF MY WAY, YOU STUPID PIECE OF *BEEP*! I'm drivin' here, I'm drivin' here, GET OUT OF THE ROAD already! Oh, you pulled ahead of me, don't you DARE, you worthless *BEEPITY* *BEEP* *BEEP*!
but then stopped when she heard a familiar voice.
"Well, well , well."
"Snively, just great." Alison mumbled to herself.
"I’d like to see you get out of this one." Snivley pulled himself up to his full height
SERVO: ...of about six inches...
and stood by the cell with his head held high in pride.
JOEL: But not on his neck.
Alison stood up, walked to the edge of the cell and put her hands on the bars, "I’ll get outta here. You watch me."
"Okay, I’m watching now. I don’t see you escaping."
JOEL: (as Alison) Does this bother you? I'm not touching you!
Alison stuck her head through the cage and glared at him, "I didn’t mean right this second, Nose-boy. I mean one of the Freedom Fighters will... probably... save me."
CROW: Look, even she's starting to have doubts about their "friendship"!
He smiled deviously remembering his deal with Sally, "You really think that?"
"Yeah!" She said in a mocking tone. "Why wouldn’t they?" She attempted to pull her head out from between the bars, but realized her head was stuck. "Hey, I’m stuck." She tried to pull even harder but to no avail, so then she tried something else. She twisted her head and body around and pulled, but again nothing happened. "Help me." She said to Snively.
Instead of helping her, he burst out laughing in his historical hyena laugh.
(ALL join in)
CROW: Wait, historical hyena laugh?
SERVO: Yeah, it's the laugh that distracted the Redcoats at that crucial moment during a major battle in the American Revolution.
"Shut up!" Alison yelled.
"Oh, this is very entertaining, indeed." He crossed his arms in front of his chest and watched Alison try to squirm her way out.
SERVO: Yeah, let's see her try the "sick prisoner" routine here...she doesn't have enough people to do it! Ha!
JOEL: The sick prisoner routine...does that still work in Robotropolis?
Sonic and Bunnie waited by the power ring poll for a ring to surface.
CROW: (in an official "Reporter Voice) I'm standing here outside the voting booths LIVE, on Election Day. The Power Ring polls are just about to close, and in just an hour or so, we'll find out what the people of Mobius decided: to keep the Power Rings, or toss them out of office?
SERVO: I say keep. Those Power Rings make a wonderful souffle.
JOEL: I say toss. Rings of Power are baaaaaaaaaaaad news...just ask Frodo.
Sonic paced back and forth impatiently, "Come on, I gotta juice! My main overlander’s in trouble."
JOEL: Overlander? What's that?
CROW: Is that like a Land-Rover?
"Relax, Sugah-hog, she’ll be fahn."
SERVO: She'll be a fawn? WHAT?!
Suddenly, Sally came running up beside them, "You guys."
JOEL: (same flat tone Sally just used) What.
"What’s up, Sal?" Sonic asked.
"I want to help."
"I dunno Sally-girl, y’all look a bit tahred."
CROW: And feathered, even.
"I just feel some what responsible."
"Now, Sally-girl, y’all cain’t blame yourself. These things happen."
"I know but..."
Sonic then spoke out, "Here it comes, Sal. Grab it."
JOEL: Here what comes?
SERVO: The tail of a low-flying plane.
CROW: (as Sally) Okay, I grabbed it, but now what do I doOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo......
As the power ring lifted its way out of the sparkling waters, Sally grabbed onto it and stuck it in
JOEL: --the bank, where it gathered interest and made a great investment for the future.
Sonic’s back pack.
"Past cool, Sal!" Sonic gave her a thumbs up sign. "You guys ready to juice it loose?"
CROW: Joel, do we have any sick-bags around here?
JOEL: Not yet, little buddy, but I'll ask the scientists and see what I can do, 'kay?
Sally sighed and looked down in reply. She was about to speak but Sonic cut her off.
SERVO: (totally deadpan voice) Ouch.
"Sal, I’m sorry about... me and Alison. She’s a special girl but you’ll always be my main. You know that right?" He put his hand on her shoulder.
SERVO: Yeah, don't worry, you may be only one of a harem but you're Wife Number One! Don'tcha just feel so special, knowing that?
Sally looked up and straight into his eyes, "You really mean that, Sonic?
"Of course, I was just getting to know her.
CROW: IF ya get what I mean, winkwink nudgenudge saynomore.
JOEL: PLEASE say no more.
You know I’d do anything for you no matter what the cost and no girl could ever take you place."
CROW: Sonic could use a place in remedial second-grade English classes!
Sally smiled, "Thank you, Sonic." Sally hugged Sonic tight.
JOEL: What is the fascination with "juice" in this story?
CROW: Well, you know, they do say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...
Sally held onto Sonic’s waist from around his back, Bunnie held onto Sally in the same manner, and Sonic took off running toward Robotropolis at full speed.
SERVO: --quickly throwing Bunnie and Sally off, 'cos they weren't strong enough to hold on at supersonic speeds with just their own bare hands!
JOEL: I think that's our cue to "juice" as well, you guys, come on...
(They leave the theater)
(Season Zero door sequence)
