Chuck's Chili Dogs. The place was usually rather busy anyway, so seeing a group of people there wasn't odd... What WAS odd was that they were actually standing almost across the street, watching the occupant of one of the stools. Let's listen in on them, shall we? "Isn't that an echidna?" "Yeah, I think so, but I thought they were almost extinct." "Well, as old as that one is, they might still be."  And the object of their scrutiny? Completely ignoring them as he examined the inside of the stand from his perch. He'd been taking a walk, and next thing he knew, he'd been in an alleyway. So he decided to take a look around. He found a stool, and he was tired. You do the math. He wasn't sure WHAT exactly all of that equipment in the back was for, but he saw pictures of food on what he assumed was a menu. And he could smell something cooking. But something felt... off about this place, like it was missing something. " I sense death here. Or... extensive speaking of it, perhaps." |

 "Here we are, hon," Athair would hear a feminine voice say close by. Inspection would reveal a cyborg rabbit with her mechanical arm wrapped around the shoulder of an albino tenrec. As she directed her companion over toward the stools she paused, catching sight of Athair and throwing him a confused look. "Howdy," she greeted, tilting her head to one side. "Ain't seen you 'round here before." |

 Of course, Dash didn't notice anything odd about the echidna sitting there. After all, he didn't know that here, echidnas were basically extinct. He did, however, notice how old the fellow was, but didn't comment on it. No point. Taking a seat, he peered up at the menu board with a sigh. To risk or not to risk. He didn't really feel like risking it. But he was so damn hungry. |

Athair looked over as the rabbit and tenrec approached him. He acknowledged Bunnie's question with a nod, and gave a simple, yet very true answer. "I travel a lot. I've never been here before..." He glanced up at the menu board, which was no more intelligible than before, before sending a slightly concerned glance Dash's way. "Are you all right, child? You look concerned." |

Bunnie blinked a bit before shaking her head and looking away toward the kitchen. Immediately she noticed that something, or rather, someone was missing from the scene. She leaned over the counter and looked around for any signs of Chuck... nothing. Huh, that seemed odd without anyone around watching the place. He probably just stepped into the back for whatever reason, she reasoned with herself. She sat down and idly glanced at the menu, then back at Dash. Well, there's be no ordering until Charlie got back, but she could at least help Dash pick something - and more importantly convince him to eat it. Only thing is that elder was talking to him right now. She flashed him another odd look. Something about him seemed really... out of place. At first she thought it may have been his oddly tribal garb and those beads hanging from his dreadlocks, which most certainly were not normal clothing, but... no... there was something else... What was it...? |

Dash didn't seem to notice the older echidna talking to him. Why would he be talking to him, anyway? Instead he just continued to gawk at the menu. With a growling stomach. |

Athair simply shrugged. The younger mobian seemed distracted by hunger... So the elderly echidna went back to examining the menu, raising an eyebrow at some of the pictures he saw. |

"So..." Bunnie finally asked, trying to get Dash's attention, "Ya'll see anything yer interested in?" |

Dash tilted his head up at the menu, examining the pictures with a frown. It was still all chili based items- not that he really cared, since he'd already resolved that being able to taste anything at all right now a blessing. A blessing that he was afraid would go away at any moment. He shifted slightly in his seat, physically uncomfortable with the thought. Remembering how much he enjoyed the fries the last time, he nodded towards the menu.
"I guess the chili fries... no cheese though." |

The elderly echidna looked up at the menu as Dash spoke, and it now made MUCH more sense. Chili, which meant that particular mixture of meat, sauce, seasoning, and sometimes other ingredients, probably went on most of the foods here. ... Which still gave him no idea what to eat. Or if he wanted to eat at all. |

Bunnie nodded, once again standing up and leaning over the counter to look around for the stand's owner. "Huh. Wonder where ol' Charlie is anyway." |

The tenrec looked around. The old hedgehog that was here before didn't seem to be around. "... maybe he's taking a break?" |

Bunnie shook her head. "He wouldn't leave without someone watchin' the place for him." |

"... maybe there was an emergency? ... or he had to go use the restroom...?" |

Bunnie just shrugged. It was probably the latter. |

 Just then, the air rumbled with the sound of approaching blue hedgehog. Sonic, still practically wearing (and actually wearing in Tails' case) the rest of the group, skidded to a stop in front of the stand. "Whep...here's the place," Sonic said, looking the stand over again, his eyes drifting over some of the other patrons. Old echidna...oddly fammiliar tenrec...Bunnie...wait, go back one. "BUNNIE!?" |

The rabbit straightened a bit hearing her name called and spun around in her seat. "Oh. Howdy Sugahog!" she gave a smile and waved. "Any ol' idea where Charlie mighta got off to?" |

 And as Sonic skidded to a stop, Antione lost his grip and flew into the counter of the stand head-first. YAY FOR COMIC RELIEF. |

Sonic just groaned and facepalmed at Antoine, but then got back to the problem at hand. Deciding to nip this question in the bud he walked up to Bunnie. "Ok, pop quiz. You got...those," he indicated her bionic parts, "because you were...?" He trailed off, leaving her to finish the sentance. |

 Sally, meanwhile, had quietly regained her footing and also awaited Bunnie's answer, as Sonic had beat her to the punch. |

Meanwhile, the tenrec was more surprised by the appearance of a certain... princess. "... Sally Acorn?" |

Bunnie arched her brow quizzically at the hedgehog, then grinned. "Shucks, Sugah, you all ought to know that! 'Ccordin' to yer uncle Ah died in some tragic puddin' accident an got brought back to life like some little ol' Frankenstein. 'Course then Ah died again a week later." She giggled, reaching out and giving Sonic a playful tug on the cheek. Yes. Chuck had taught his pupil well. |

The princess' attention was suddenly diverted as she heard her own name. Sally glanced past Bunnie to Dash's face -- but didn't recognize it as his. The Dash she knew not only had had much darker fur, but furthermore had been roboticized. Clearly, this had to be someone from this world that knew the other version of herself. "I'm sorry," she began with an apologetic smile, "but I'm no--" Suddenly she paused, and glanced down at herself. This dimension's culture had a sexist clothing requirement against women. Which she was currently violating, as she'd left that black robe Finitevus had given her with Dulcy. Which meant, most likely, that she was deeply embarrassing her dimensional counterpart at the moment. Sally let out a groan and facepalmed with both hands. "Oh brother!!" |

"Er..right..." Somic said, stepping back out of cheek pinching range. "Yep...definatly not her," he sighed to himself.  "You mean its not Aunt Bunnie?" came a question from the backpack over Sonic's middle. "'Fraid not little bro," Sonic said, having almost forgotten the kit was there. He then noticed Sally's behavior. "Yo Sal, what's wrong?" |

Athair's attention was drawn to the other mobians who had arrived, but for the moment remained silent. He felt... unsettled here, like something very important was missing. But what? |

Antoine meanwhile had taken a stool, trying to recover from his crash. He looked around nervously, for this city was virtually a nightmare. Gross, icky, and furless overlanders everywhere! Also, MAGARINE. |

Dash tilted his head at the squirrel's reply, not understanding what she was trying to say. "Pardon?" |

Bunnie gave Sonic an odd look, "What do ya'll mean it ain't me? Ain't heard no news 'bout no bodysnatche--" she paused, having followed the direction Sonic turned with wide eyed results. "Lanssake!" she exclaimed, hopping off her stool and holding her hands up. "Honey, ya'll're buck naked!" |

Sally sighed and gingerly rubbed the bridge of her squirrely nose, not even bothering to look up over Bunnie's outburst. " I'm getting really, really tired of this double-standard." Figuring that she wouldn't be able to get much of anywhere until she covered herself, the princess rolled her eyes and said to the coyote in an extremely flat and disinterested voice, "May I borrow your jacket, Antoine?" |

Antoine perked up immediately. He was slightly confused. "Moi jacket?" After a pause however, Antoine beamed, and, quite suddenly and glamorously, tore off his jacket in a supreme act of stripping. "Oh oui oui my preencess! Your brave and loyal Antoine shall do anyzeeng you are to be askeeng!" he crowed, now sporting a rather topless look. With grace, he twirled around, and offered her his jacket... which he somehow managed to perfectly fold as he had talked. |
