“Hello, there. What’s your name?” A blue furred-hedgehog walked into the desert grounds. “I’m Sonic. Sonic the hedgehog.”

“I’m Sandy.” a girl with brown hair said, walking up to him.

“Wait... You are thee one and only Sonic?”

“That’s right. I am. What about it?” 

“How did you get here? In my dimension, you don’t exist here. In physical form.” Sonic showed a golden ring to Sandy. “I got here with my rings. The only way I can travel between any dimensions.”

“Of course. Your rings. How could I forget that about you?”

“What do you mean that I don’t exist here? I’m standing right in front of you. You can see me. I can see you. Do you know me, lady?”

“This is going to sound very strange to you. But in my dimension, you are a fictional video game character made by a video game company named SEGA. That has a whole franchise, and so much more. Your dimension, realistically speaking..where you came to Earth. Is a fictional movie, here. So you shouldn’t be real. Yet, I am talking to you now.”

“Wow! That’s so crazy, a dimension where I sort of exist in limbo. That’s something new. I wasn’t expecting.”

“This may be the only chance that I get to tell you this. But I grew up, playing your games, seeing you on TV. And watching you from afar. I admire your personality so much. Heck, I even watched your movie. This is going to sound cheesy for me to say this. When I was 12 years old, I used to write fanfiction about you online. Since you were my favorite character. It’s because of you that I got into my writing hobby in the first place. It made me realize that I love writing stories. Writing was the only thing pushing me forward, much like your obstacles. You made a positive impact on me in my life. I wouldn’t know where I would be. Without you or writing.”

“What!? Really? No way! I influenced you? Seems like my presence always does with others in need. I’m happy to hear that, kiddo. Don’t forget to keep on shining like the emerald you are! And follow your heart.”
