(Paimon: Me now?!
Gow: No, Shadow's turn. -_-
Paimon: WHAT?!
Sonic: Better than you.
Paimon: No he's NOT!
Shadow: Well, I mean... I DO have some writing skills-
Gow: Yep. And they're TOTALLY all natural... 🙄
Shadow: ...What are you talking about?
Gow: October 28th, 2022. "I wish I knew how to confess without revealing myself... I can't keep this to myself any longer."
Shadow: 😳
Sonic/Paimon: 🤣
Shadow: I THOUGHT I JUST HAD AN UNTAPPED WRITING TALENT!! 😭)

Francis' P.O.V

I calmed down Aster and convinced him to stay in the closet while I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Communication was a minimum. I quickly ate breakfast and ran back to my room and locked the door before they could tell me to do anything else.

I went back to the closet to see Aster messing around a little, but he was fine. "Aster..?" He looked up at me. "Mhm..?" "...We gotta figure out what to do with you."

--

I had Aster lay in bed next to me so I could easily hide him without hurting him if someone came into the room, or knocked maybe, to bother me. I realized it was about... 2:30 (EST) now, so I checked Wappad, and wouldn't you know it, the bestie was online! YES! I NEED TO TELL HER WATT HAPPENED!!!

I slipped into her PMs and saw her response- 'Francis, something weird happened today...' I quickly responded with, 'What happened?' I waited... 'This sounds insane... but Sonic the hedgehog is IN my HOUSE.' (Me: Yes, I'm important too, deal with it. 🙄) Wait- what?! 'He's WHAT?!' 'I know it's crazy, but it's true!!' '...Aster's in mine-' 'Aster's in what?' 'BISH, MY HOUSE!!!!' 'WHAT?!' 'IK!!!'

Omc, I can't believe this is happening!!! So mah bestie has Sonic, I have Aster- but wait... does that mean-?

I go to gooble... a girl's best friend. And then I go to 'News'. And, wouldn't you know it, an anthropomorphic fox has been seen... somewhere. Actually, there have been sightings ALL OVER the states... How do I find them all?!

Better yet, how did they GET here?!

Wait...

I went back into my PMs and looked through the chat with my bestie, remembering what I saw yesterday, and now seeing nothing of the sorts. Wait- did she-? Suddenly, the wolf herself had appeared in front of me, scaring poor Aster half to death.

She shook her head in disappointment, "Haven't I warned you countless times that you shouldn't wish rhetorically? Now you must pay the unfortunate price. I can't say I'm sorry though, since once again, I've told you multiple times, but... that's really unfortunate. However, I'll grant you some leeway and send EVERYBODY back if you can round'em all up."

"...Eh?"

She facepalmed and rubbed her temple, "If you get all the characters together in one place, I'll send them home. Got it?" I nodded a little. "But wait- how did you-?" And she disappeared just as quickly as she had appeared...

Great...

(Gow: I'M NOT THAT MEAN ABOUT IT!!! 😭
Shadow: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING MEAN TO ME IN THE BEGINNING OF THE CHAPTER, BITCH-
Paimon: Haha, next time is my turn~
Sonic: Oh, boy...)
