[they_call_me_sonic]

Characters: Sonic and whomever
Where: Aqures Ixen, sixth district and elsewhere
When: August 15th
Summary: Back in town, Sonic decides to bit of exploration with their old home and come to grips with what's happened
Warning: Snarky hedgehog.

"Sheesh, Polly-Tutu did this?"

This was a strange journey Sonic had been in. Time travel wasn't an uncommon thing, what with the Little Planet and Tikal's visions, but to be sent back 28 years, then spend those 28 years locked away in Crystal Stasis (which was just as odd) and come back to their current home something of a smoldering crater was enough to make the hedgehog... confused.

"Palitutu and yes." his Moogle, Bean, replied. "And if what you said is true, then this entire thing reeks of self-importance and and villainy!"

"That, and Polly-Tutu's gonna pay for scorching my hand!" Sonic said, shaking his burnt hand again. "That stung."

"First things first... why are we here?" Bean asked.

"I wanted to see what happened while we were gone. Now, I wanna see what we can find. I doubt Polly-Tutu could have ruined everything. Not even Eggman's that thorough!" Sonic replied.

"It's Palitu-- y'know what, forget it. We'll go with Polly-Tutu." Bean threw up its tiny arms in defeat as Sonic raced in, the Moogle chasing after him. "But, what if she was thourough?"

"Then, we head back and help out with the other stuff!" Sonic said, pointing out.

Yuna didn't mean to sound really depressing, but she's about too. "Can we really trust in each other?" She looked down at Sonic, her expression curious.

"I don't know you nor do I know the other heroes. I met someone here who I remember as a horrible monster and yet, he isn't, what if I meant a friendly face who's evil? There is no way to know if we can trust each other. Do you trust all of the heroes?"

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" Sonic replied. "I've seen that, when all else fails, everyone pitches in to fix things."

He can't help but grin. "First thing ya gotta do, though, is believe in yourself!"

Yuna smiled at him. That was a lot of sayings but she wasn't sure if they apply. "Well, yes. That's nice in thought but I'm not sure how well that works in practice." Her gaze softens.

"I've never been very good at giving up myself."

And it's at this point, Sonic's grin fades a bit. "Sounds like, though, you've had. You've given up on us."

[whereishe]

Yuna's head tilted to the side. "Why do you say that?" She didn't think she's given up. She looked at things with a more realistic view than she had before but that didn't mean that she didn't have hope.

She still believed in the heroes and those around her but she wanted to plan for the worst, she didn't want to sacrifice someone because they weren't ready.

"To be quite honest, I feel like a lot of people have given up, at least in all of us. Between what's-his-name stabbing the other guy and finding out about Polly-tutu, I think it's shaken us."

Will he admit it shook him, too? Probably not. Mostly because he's only been here, what, a month? Give or take twenty-eight years?

"Yes, some of the heroes have but the people of Crystallis are looking to us. It's a little silly to say but I have more of a reason to smile because of it. I want to prepare for the worst but I will always hope for the best and try with all my might. I will keep smiling and be that hope for the people of this world who put their faith in us. I won't let them down."

She looked back over at Sonic with a confident smile while Celes just looked up at his hero in awe. "Don't you think so? Maybe, by smiling, we can give the other heroes hope too."
