The Breakup
It had been roughly two months since Sonic had returned to Mobius, and he and Sally had become closer than ever. They now came into each other’s rooms freely, but Sonic, out of courtesy, still knocked and waited for Sally to let him in.
One morning, Sonic walked down to Sally’s room. He knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, Sally opened the door, saw Sonic, and hugged him. Sonic kissed her and smiled. “Morning, Sally.” Mira, the kitten that Sonic had rescued from Robotropolis and given to Sally, suddenly walked into the hall, rubbed against Sonic’s ankle, and looked up at him curiously. Sonic looked down at the kitten and chuckled, “Morning, Mira.” Mira twitched her nose and replied, “Morning, lightning.” Sonic raised an eyebrow. “‘lightning’? That’s a new one.” Sally giggled and said, “Talking to the cat with that implant again?” While he was lost in space, Sonic had received an alien implant in his ear, and it enabled him to understand the speech of any living thing. Mira looked up at Sonic with mock irritation. “Do me a favor, and ask her just what is wrong with talking to a cat.” Sonic repeated to Sally what Mira had said. Sally bent down and picked Mira up. She smiled at the little kitten and said, “There’s nothing wrong with it at all. I was only joking, Mira.” Mira nuzzled against Sally’s cheek in acknowledgement.
