*Tails, Sonic, Knuckles, and Ana are all upstairs in Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady (aka, Tom and Maddie's) attic*

Ana: *in bed, wide awake*

Ana: Sonic? *Gets up, approaching his bed* hey, wake up.

Sonic: *groans, rolling*

Ana: Sonic come on! *Sighs, before shaking him*

Sonic: hmm what?! Earth quake?! Earth quake! Earth--

Ana: shhh! No, it's just me...

Sonic: Holy...Ana you scared me. *Exhales* what is it? It's not even midnight yet, why are you up?

Ana: I've just...been thinking, I guess.

Sonic: uh-oh, you? Thinking? Bad combo.

Ana: *glares*

Sonic: *laughs* I kid, I kid. Okay, tell your brother all about it. What's on your mind?

Ana: well, you know that movie we just watched with Tom and Maddie?

Sonic: *thinks* the one with the gross kissing scenes?

Ana: yeah.

Sonic: blech, yeah, I remember. Why? Wait...*groans* are you seriously gonna go on about this again?

Ana: well I just can't help it. Seeing all these other beings around me find love and romance and friendship, why not me? I mean...is something wrong with me? I--I know I'm not human but still...how come no one seems to be...you know, for me? Tails and Knuckles are your friends but... where's my group? Where's my romance?

Sonic: *whispers* this is stupid... *Sighs* alright, you wanna experience that? How about with Knuckles?

Ana: ...no.

Sonic: oh come on why not? He's...cool, in a warrior way. You know! Like the warriors you read in your books!

Ana: he is not the type of warrior I read in my books, Sonic.

Sonic: *grumbles* fine, maybe Tails?

Ana: I see him as a little brother.

Sonic: Ana, look, I get it. You want your own group, you want to experience things like love and all that weird gross stuff but... You're not gonna find it by waking me up at 11:14 at night. Why don't you go to bed? We'll talk more about this tomorrow. *Rolls over*

Ana: *sighs, getting in bed, and glancing out the attic window at the moon* I wonder if there is someone out there for me...I wonder what they look like, who they are. What if they're an angel? The nicest angel there is? Wouldn't that be sweet...yeah, my very own angel. *Smiles*

*Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away*

Shadow: *suddenly wakes up from being frozen for 50 years*
