Shadow the Hedgehog

"You could hand me a couple of those headache tablets." ---- Hope waited behind her with the money.

Zamy was lying in the sofa. "Yes Miles?" ---- "Sure."

"Want some popcorn? There'll still be trailers and adverts going."

Hope bought two tickets from the booth.

"Ok, I'll buy some tickets."

"They should've just asked someone. My whole team died trying to get them.... no, that didn't." Zamy was grimacing from the headache. "Excuse me," she said before teleporting away. ------ "There's a spy film on, The World is Not Enough. I think I see an animation, and a few films we couldn't get in to even if we wanted to. There's others up there, see for yourself."

"But why use it in the first place? Why couldn't he have just stayed here and not caused this whole mess?" asked Zamy, reaching for the back of her head. ---- Hope used the map to get them to the nearest cinema.

"Wait? He USED the teleporter? Why the heck what he do that in the first placed? A fritzed teleporter can rip you in two." ----- "Ok then. Let's see what's on."

"But he fell in long before they were possessed. His teleporter wouldn't malfunction at will." ---- Hope gave her a hug. "Now what to do? We could see a movie, visit this 'dungeon'. Take a look at the guide."

"Yes." --- "So are you!"

"Miles, you were going to explain this ridiculous situation to me?" ---- Hope hugged back. "No problem."

"Your training was for a world that as far as I can tell doesn't even have the car. You're out of your element. Besides, children are expected to do certain things until they're adults." ---- Hope paid for all the items.

"I still don't understand how they were hijacked. And I wouldn't be so sure, he was a very private man." ---- Hope picked out some books on the ancient civilisations."

"Well that'd solve this problem, though also create another. I'd have to find those children people to look after them, and Locke can't take any, he's done enough. Still, one thing at a time." --- Hope picked out hers as well as a mug for Shadow.

"What exactly is this plan?" ---- Hope walked around, looking at the books.

"What kind of experiment?" ---- Hope led the way to the shop. "Go nuts, I'm gonna look for some books as well."

"Hello boys. Want us to come with you?" ------ "Ok. But first, the gift shop!"

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." ----- "Want to look around here more or find another attraction?"

"If push came to shove I would." ----- "You're not negative. We wouldn't be talking if you were."

"It darn well better." ---- "Exactly, the alternative is to be all negative and depressing."

"I hope it won't. Who knows, maybe things will improve tomorrow?" ----- "It's worked so far. Doing nothing would just let evil win."

"Not that. Given how crazy things are I'm not even sure I'll be sane or alive by the end of the week." ----- "Just remember there always people willing to stop the madness."

"Yeah, maybe." ----- "Yeah. It's the nature of civilisation."

"Maybe I overstated it a bit. I care but I doubt as much as a real mother." ----- Hope thought for a second. "Nope."

(That's just ridiculous) "I'll show you them later. And I feel like it. But I get to keep my figure and forego the pain of giving birth. Win-win." --- "Yeah they were crazy."
