" Hm. . ? I don't believe we have met. . . Do you need repairs? I can probably find a mechanic. . . "

" It looks so nice! So much better than a cold gray room! " She's just absolutely amazed.

" How things work stink. " She'd just follow along, perking up at the place. It wasn't much, but it looked pretty swanky to Maria. " Wow. . . "

" That sounds extorsive. " She'd furrow her brows.

She's thinking about the agent G.U.N. had assigned to watch over her. . . . The only one nice to her.

" Oh, I see. You have to pay to live here? " She'd tilt her head. She remembers hearing one of the agents talk about 'rent.' Could this be it?

" Oh, I guess they are. " Just stuffing more in her mouth. " Is it good? "

" What's a coffee? "

" B–but they're scrumptious. . . "

eatin' some coffee beans.

( resting in a containment tube. . . ) . . . row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream~

" You live in such a tall building. . . " It probably isn't even that tall, Maria.

She's thinking about the agent G.U.N. had assigned to watch over her. . . . The only one nice to her.

" Yes. I do. "

" I think Latinas are nice. "

She was just amazed by the sight of these buildings. The world was just amazing to her. . .

" I'd like to meet her. She sounds nice. " A nod, giving a smile. They really did. . .

" Are they a friend. . ? " Seems she hasn't met the Tails of her universe yet.

" Miss Prower? " She would tilt her head. Taking her hand. " Well, alright. "

" I agree with him. "

" What rumor? "

" What? "

" Oh. . . you didn't need to spend all of your money, Sister Sunny. " She would begin to frown, looking at the skates.

I feel quite fond for these 'latinas.'

" Really—? " She'd gasp, grinning.

" Delicious—! " She absolutely loved it. Who knew there were such amazing treats on Earth?

Just straight up taking a bite of the ice cream. A bit taken aback from how cold it was, then trying it. She'd just let out a squeal!

She looked. . . enamored. It looked so strange. Yet, delicious. " Woah. . . "

" Sundae Supreme. . ? What is that? " She'd tilt her head.

And just downing the whole bottle, panting. " I. . . enjoyed it. Really? " She looked excited to try more food.

She would nod, clearly struggling to deal with the spice. " Iced cream. . ? Ham Burger? " The hedgehog would tilt her head in confusion. How much food was there?

And. . . a bite! " Oh my. . . " Has she never had spicy food before? It seems a bit too much for her. " Ah—! This is. . . Much better than the food they served me! "

She would follow. . . then just stare at the chili dog. Was this, food. . ? " So that's what a chili dog is. How peculiar. "

" Right. . . "

" How strange. . . I do not have anyone to kiss, I suppose. "

" Are they. Eating each other??? "

What's kissing.

" Oh, alright. . . I hope these 'Chili Dogs' are friendly. " Sweet, innocent Maria. . .

" What is. . . A chili dog? " She would tilt her head. Could it be some kind of animal. . ?

" I see. My apologies. The soldiers typically look at me the same way. "

" You. . . Paid for that, right? " Raising a brow.

" I should get myself some skates. " She let out a giggle, nodding. Walking slowly.

" I'm not very fast. . . These boots aren't exactly easy to run it. "

" Oh. . . Alright. If you say so. " A nod.

" I was raised in a holding cell. Is that like space? " She'd think for a moment. " Sure! "

" Ah. . . I see. I'm sorry if I get scared. I don't know much. . . "

" Oh— well, I suppose if you say so. . . " She's a bit scared. . .
