Ah... the smell of what was apparrently good food. One good sniff told Antione that nothing on his plate had been contaminated with margarine, and when he finally bit down into his burger, his eyes widened slightly. Miss Bunnie made rather yummy burgers.

Sonic finished wolfing down the chillidogs and then followed up with a loud burp, causing Tails to giggle. "Man that hit the spot," Sonic said to himself, "Hey Sal, did you want to get anything?" He glanced over at the princess, "Sal?"

The princess, who'd still been off in her own little world pondering a functional deroboticizer, was abruptly jerked back into reality at the shattering sound of Sonic's belch. "Hmm?" Sally responded, glancing up at the menu. Come to think of it, it HAD been a pretty long time since she'd eaten. Now that she really realized it, the ground squirrel found herself absolutely ravenous. Just as she'd opened her mouth to order something, Sally blinked with grim realization, and leaned past Dash to yank the hedgehog down to whispering level. " Sonic!! We can't PAY for any of this!!"

Dash hadn't been really... eating his meal at the time that Sally had leaned over and pulled Sonic in between him and his meal, so he wasn't too perturbed about it.
"... I can't pay for mine either... But I'm not hungry either."
At this point, his stomach growled, loudly.
... He rubbed his face and sighed.
"Or I'd like to pretend I'm not."

If Bunnie had been paying attention she might have responded to Sally, but instead she just looked over Athair with confusion. Now she recognized why he looked familiar! He was the same species as Knuckles! Which, understandably, just confused her. Now, if she was up on her gossip, she was pretty sure Knuckles was supposed to be the last of his kind... Of course, his last statement only served to confuse her further. "Ah, don't worry about it. S'just one ring," she said, gesturing toward the elder's tea, "Anywho, ya'll wouldn't happen to know a feller named Knuckles woulda?"

The elderly echidna smiled in thanks to Bunnie's small generosity, then considered her question. "Knuckles? ... I imagine he's an echidna like myself... but I'm afraid I don't. Is he a friend of yours?"

Sonic didn't seem worried about their lack of funs at all. In fact, he just gave her a self-confident smirk. "Relax Sal. This is 'Uncle Chuck's' place, right? So we'll just have 'Unc' put it all on 'my' tab."

Cue royal hand smacking into her equally royal face. " Just because you have a counterpart here doesn't mean you can pretend to be him for free food!!" But by now Antoine was already well into his own mean, she noticed, and Dash admitted to being unable to pay for all the food he'd been given too. Letting out a low groan, Sally tenderly rubbed her temples. Whyyyyyyy couldn't these silly boys just be MATURE once in a while?! Even worse, the princess's own stomach had been rumbling for some time, and there was a niggling part of her brain that was actually very tempted to go with Sonic's plan. Sally pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm getting a nother migraine."

The tenrec in the meanwhile simply held his belly, trying to quiet the raging internal organ without actually giving it what it wants.

"Acquaintance, really," Bunnie responded to Athair, unable to pull her curious look away. "Young feller, lives on Angel Island, spends all day guardin' some big green gemstone... y'sure you don't know him?"

The elderly echidna almost seemed to freeze for a moment when Bunnie described Knuckles' most common pastime, before he leaned forward on the counter, unsure he'd heard the description right. "You say he... guards a green gem..." The elder rested his chin in his hand, before continuing. "Does he, by ANY chance, have a white crescent marking? It should almost look like a necklace...." The echidna's voice had gone a bit quiet, almost... reverent as his whole body tensed, waiting for her answer.

"Yeah, that's him!" Bunnie nodded. "He ain't never said nuthin' about other echidnas still survivin'!"

Athair just... stared at her for what had to be a good thirty seconds, before any speech came from him. " The Guardian... Sweet Antowas it's the Guardian..." The elder seemed to have gone into a shocked, or possibly even catatonic state. It was always a shock learning about the next Guardian, but to hear he was so widely known here... " ... ... ..." It was a pretty good bet that Athair's brain just shut down.

And by this time, Antione had finally finished eating his burger. "So manifique! Preencess, you must be 'aving one!" he egged on to his crush. "And eef eet ees possible it might to be 'elpings zat migrane." :3

"No way, Ant!" Sonic interrupted, "If anything she's gotta try one of these chillidogs, they're delicious!" Meanwhile Tails had been listening what 'Bunnie' and the old echidna were talking about. "Umm...are you guys talkin' about Knuckles?"

GROOOOOAAAN. "I won't be having ANYTHING because we don't have any MONEY!! It's bad enough you guys have already eaten without me adding to a bill we can't pay!" Sally straightened her posture, and adjusted the shoulder pads of Antoine's jacket in the process. It really, really wasn't comfortable. Then again, the princess didn't usually find clothing comfy in general, but Ant's jacket in particular disagreed with her sensibilities. Despite her discomfort, Sally was only briefly distracted from the situation at hand, and folded her arms amidst the bulky sleeves. "I don't care if the other Sonic DOES get free food here. That doesn't excuse us from taking things under false pretenses." The ground squirrel's eye fell on the Sonic of her own world, and narrowed. "If it were up to ME, you'd be back there scrubbing dishes right now, buster!"

Bunnie's ear twitched to the side over Sally's outburst, giving a distracted glance to the side at her. "S'okay hon. On the house." she responded, figuring she could pay Chuck back later for them. Having hopefully toned down that bit of tension, she gave a worried look back to Athair. "Yeah, hon, ol' Knux is the guardian..." she said awkwardly. "You okay?"

Meanwhile, Dash decided that the best way to ignore temptation was to flat out ignore it. Getting out from his seat, he moved off to another area before sitting down. Away from both the fries and the counter, let alone Bunnie try and give him more.

Sonic winced at Sally's comment about doing dishes. Even with his speed he really didn't like manual labor. But luckily Bunnie's comment saved him. "See Sal? It's all right, 'sides, we gotta eat, ya know?"

With a start, the elderly echidna returned to awareness of his surroundings, and nodded to Bunnie. "Yes... I'm fine, just... startled..."

"Oui oui!" Antoine agreed with Sonic. This might have been worth an odd stare or two, if not for what he said afterwards. "Now please to be ordereengs one of zees burgers, and not those steewpid cheelee dogs."

Despite Bunnie's clearance, Sally's expression failed to lose any of its wary disapproval. She's only saying it's okay because she thinks Sonic's someone he isn't! But how exactly do you explain that you're really an imposter without sounding like a lunatic? The princess chewed her lip indecisively and ran her fingers through her auburn hair. So what if she was hungry and she'd just gotten clearance to order whatever she wanted? This was stealing.

"Well, uh, okay then..." Bunnie responded to Athair, slightly unsure if he was really okay, but not wanting to push the issue either. Instead, she decided to wander back over to the original group, idly eyeing Sally's ridiculous outfit. "Hey Sugahog," she said, "How do ya'll know ol' Dash here anywho?" she leaned in closer, smiling wryly. "Ya'll ain't got nothing to do with this here mirror world Ah been hearin' about, do ya? Sounds like ol' Eggman's handiwork."

"Hmm, Dash? Yeah we go back a ways," Sonic said, then looked confused. "Egg wh- oooh, right. Buttnik wannabe. Yeah, he WISHES that this was his fault."

As usual, Sonic focused on the wrong thing, and as was the norm, it was lucky that Sally had been present to catch the important information. The ground squirrel's face snapped over in Bunnie's direction, filled with interest and suspicion. "...Sorry to butt in, but, what precisely are you referring to when you say 'mirror world'?" PLEEAASE let her actually be in the loop on this, the princess silently begged. It'll make things SO much easier if she is!

The rabbit frowned a bit. "Honey, only thing Ah know is this boy here is supposed to be a cyborg like m'self," she said, motioning at Dash. Nevermind the details about him belonging to a terrorist group.

OFFER DENIED. But this was okay (FOR NOW), seeing as they seemed to be getting a lead to... something. Antoine hadn't really been paying much attention, but he knew the gist of what was apparrently happening. It seemed rather farfetched, but Antoine figured that anything could happen. After all, he had survived that insufferable hedgehog's company so far.

And, at this point, something odd happened. A strange, scaley black and red creature simply... wandered up. Which Dash didn't notice at the time, since he had his head down on the table. So hungry... don't give into temptation...The creature paid him no mind either, but instead walked right past, sniffing intently at the air. Stopping at the counter, it paused, turning to Antoine and ... SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF? And then it grinned. Toothily. With very abnormal teeth.

In about the span of three seconds, Antoine dearly wished that he did not think 'anything can happen'. When the coyote, still paying attention to his princess, heard some snuffling noises, he turned to search for the noise. He ended up face-to-face with an abomination unto Aurora. At first, all Antoine could do was stare at this scaley, black, hedgehog-like creature, slack-jawed and too stunned to even utter the smallest of 'eeks'. And then it grinned, with its evil, unholy, it-just-found-a-yummy-meal teeth. Antoine freaked. "YEEEAAAHAHHHHASDFGFDYUSBHJLDHIUWGEETSGOINGTOEEETMEEEEE!!!!!" he bellowed in a high-pitched, almost ear-splitting tone, stumbling back over his stool and scrambling away from the frightening monstrocity, ending up climing up on top of Sonic and clinging tightly to the hedgehog's quills for his dear life, and shaking so violently from terror that it was liable that the hedgehog would fall off his own seat. In addition to this, Antoine was now making an unearthly noise, like a teapot about to explode from the vapor pressure within. It was not as defeaning as the screech mere seconds earlier, but the poor coyote looked as if he wasn't going to stop squealing any time soon.

"Gah, what the!?" Sonic, not seeing the source of the commotion, immediatly took to his feet and flailed against being used as a coyote perch. "ANT! What the heck is your glitch, spazyote!?"
