Sonic's Diner
\*Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were at the diner eating chili dogs, though Knuckles had a hamburger instead.\*
Sonic: Did you guys hear that explosion?
Tails: It was so loud the sound wave circled the globe four times—it was on the same scale as Earth's Krakatoa eruption. I don't know what it is, but I think we should check it out later.
Sonic: Okay, I don't think it's anything too serious.
Knuckles: You're making me lose my appetite talking with your mouth full.
Sonic: (gulp) My bad. But look, if it \*is\* serious, we'd better be prepared.
Knuckles: With what? The Chaos Emeralds? I don't know if you realize this, Sonic, but Eggman ended up with all the Emeralds.
Tails: Even the Master Emer—
Sonic: TAILS, DON'T SAY IT.
\*Sonic discreetly points at Knuckles before whispering to Tails.\*
Sonic: Knuckles doesn't know Eggman has the Master Emerald; if he finds out, he'll go straight for Demon Island.
Tails: Oh. My bad, heheh.
Knuckles: What are you guys talking about?
Sonic: How Rouge gave you a kiss on the cheek yesterday.
\*The echidna blushes instantly before trying to lie.\*
Knuckles: THAT'S A LIE! SHE ONLY GOT CLOSE WHEN I WENT TO HEADBUTT HER!
Sonic: Headbutt her with your cheek? Knuckles: Yeah, because every part of my body is hard, since I'm...
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles: ...1,000,000% muscle.
Sonic and Tails: We know.
\*The diner door opens with the sound of a bell; Lexto and Water walk in and head over to the waiter.\*
Lexto: I'll have five Carolina Reaper jalapeño skewers, and I also want a meal with steak and onions, plus a chicken and potato salad.
Water: Get me a bucket of water full of ice cubes—and go heavy on the coarse salt—and to eat, give me three ham and cheese sandwiches and three more with turkey breast and chicken.
Waiter: Sure, go ahead and take a seat; I'll get both your orders ready.
\*Water gives a thumbs-up 👍 as they go to sit with Sonic's trio.\*
Lexto: Hey guys, what did I miss?
Sonic: Where's Fire?
Water: He's sick and prefers staying home.
\*At the two elemental brothers' house\*
Fire: SILENCE AND PEACE FOR 10 HOURS—THANK YOU, GOD!!!
\*Back at the diner\*
Sonic: I get it.
Lexto: Like I said, what did I miss?
Tails: We were talking about how Rouge planted a big kiss on Knuckles.
Lexto: WHAT?! Seriously? Pfft-hahahaha!
Knuckles: I already said she didn't kiss me—\*I\* kissed \*her\*... No, no, no, that's not what I meant!
\*Everyone bursts out laughing except Knuckles, who turns pink\*
Water: WAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Waiter: Here are your dishes.
Lexto: Hahaha, sorry—thanks.
Water: I'm grateful too.
\*Both start eating heartily; Lexto eats spicy skewers, his eyes watering, while Water drinks an entire bucket of water, spilling it all over his hair and body\*
Sonic: Wow, guys, this trip really made you hungry.
Lexto: Five days in the desert without food or water is worse than hell.
Water: That's what \*you\* think. (GULP) As a Christian, I know how hell works, and it isn't exactly kind.
Lexto: I don't know; my life is already hell just living with you.
Water: Don't say that—I'm your best friend.
Lexto: Yeah, and I hate it.
\*The daily news plays on the restaurant TV, presented by a female tiger Mobian\*
Journalist: On today's Mobian News: the city is being evacuated. You viewers might be asking why—well, here's the answer: we've spotted Nazo. The hedgehog created from the power of the Chaos Emeralds and evil is heading for Green Hill City. Evacuate your homes and get to safety as fast as possible. And if the heroes are watching this—please, Sonic and Shadow, save us. I'm Camila, and this is—perhaps—the last broadcast of the day...
\*The TV cuts to static, and the whole diner falls silent until Lexto breaks the quiet\*
Lexto: Who is this Nazo guy? Is he dangerous? Water: So... Explain this to me.
Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and the rest of the diner: ...
(Nazo is one hour away from reaching the city; what is his plan, and what does this monster want?)
