This was certainly an… unusual situation you’ve found yourself in.

You weren’t exactly kidnapped, at least in your mind. You could go home whenever you want, you’re just choosing not to! Why would you? You’re getting tons of gifts and money, you can gamble away money that isn’t even yours, and you’re being protected by a very powerful person. All you have to do is be the bait for Sonic to come save you from Neo Metal Sonic. Honestly, you could care less if he saves you or not.

Sure, he’s the “hero” that saves the world from Dr. Eggman, and you’ve got to respect him for that. However, when there's a new crisis almost every week, all from the same guy no less, you start getting used to the idea of something like this happening eventually. You just thought it would’ve been sooner than now. But that’s not something to worry about now. All that matters is that you’re bait and have to act like you’re in a relationship with Neo. It feels like one of those mafia fake dating books you’ve heard about, but that’s not something to think about.

Right now, you’re just standing in the balcony watching the bright lights of Stardust Speedway. The beautiful blues, reds, and golds shine brightly against the dark night sky. It’s surprisingly calm for such a busy, fun city. It’s kinda peaceful… at least it was before you felt a familiar clawed finger tap your shoulder. Turning around, you come face to face with Neo.

“Care for a dance?” He says, extending a hand for you to take. It’s hard to tell from him, but he almost looks genuine. Maybe even a little nervous to ask you, but he would never admit that.

So, will you accept?
