Snively's Dream
Robotropolis was dark and gloomy. Darker and gloomier than usual. Dr.
Robotnik was in the main control room. As usual, Robotnik was blaming Snively
for one of his plans going wrong. This beating was considered 'light'.
Snively heard a crack and then slipped into unconsciousness....
---------------------
Snively woke up a little bit later. "Dude, are you okay?" asked a voice.
"Where am I?" he asked, unsure of where he was and what was going on.
"You're in L.A. Why?" said the voice again.
"Where's that, on the other side of Mobius?" Snively asked.
"Mobius? What are you talking about? Where've you been lately?" asked the
voice. Snively opened and saw the person whom the voice belonged to. It was a
brunette girl with blue eyes. 'She's...pretty.'
"Where are you going anyways?" asked the girl.
"I don't know, really. Why do you want to know anyway?" Snively said, getting
suspicious.
"Well, I was going to see if you wanted to go to my rehearsal," said the
girl.
"Well, I suppose I could," Snively said, unsure.
"Great, let's go!" said the girl, offering her hand. Snively took it and she
pulled him up.
"My name is Snively. What's yours?" he asked.
"Mine's Samantha. But you can call me either Sammy or Sam," said the girl now
known as Sam. Snively felt like he could trust her, but he wasn't sure why.
"Come on, we're going to be late as it is. But luckily, I know a shortcut,"
said Sam, walking towards an alley filled with trashcans.
Snively noticed that this city's layout was similar to Robotropolis. A
vehicle pulled up.
"Hey Sam! You guys need a ride?" asked the driver.
"No, I'm going to take the shortcut, Erika. Thanks for the offer, though.
Later!" Sam said.
"Who was that?" asked Snively.
"That was my cousin, Erika," answered Sam. They were now in the alley. "Hold
my hand," Sam commanded.
"W-what?" Snively managed to choke.
"Oh no! Not like that if that is what you were thinking," Sam said quickly.
"I'm going to get us to where we need to be. Hold on." Snively took her hand
and they disappeared in a blue aura. They reappeared on a stage.
"Hey, you and Erika are late." Another girl walked up.
"Sorry 'Lish. I got held back for a few minutes. Erika should be here any
minute because we saw her in her car," Sam replied.
"And who is this?" 'Lish asked.
"Oh, this is Snively."
"Cool, We'll start as soon as-"
"I'm here!" Erika said as she walked in.
"Snively, you can sit here." Sam pointed to the chair right by him. "I gotta
practice." She went to the center of the stage. Snively sat down and watched,
somewhat interested.
"Okay let's start in the second verse of 'What Dreams Are Made Of,'" 'Lish
directed.
"And one more thing: Sam, quit calling me 'Lish. It's Alicia. Got it?"
"Got it…" Sam answered, rolling her eyes. Then they started playing. Sam sang
a lot, but really, they sang the same amount. They practiced for about 45
minutes until another girl, Morgan, said that was all for today. Sam walked
up to Snively.
"I'm finished for today. What do you want to now?" she asked.
"Well, I'm getting a bit hungry," he answered.
"Great! We can go to the Solar. They have great food." Sam said. They
disappeared in a blue aura and arrived in what appeared to be Sam's
apartment.
"I have to get a few things first. Stay here and feel free to look around,"
she said and went into a different room. Snively saw several different
pictures hanging on the wall.
One picture caught his eye. It had two boys, two girls, one he assumed to be
Sam when she was younger, and a woman, who he thought was Sam's mother. He
saw a newspaper clipping next to the picture. "JOHN BRODY, 38, DIED IN A
PLANE CRASH." There was a little bit more but he did not read it.
Sam reappeared, "Hey, ready to go?"
"I'm ready," he replied. They went downstairs to Sam's car. They drove for
about three minutes.
"I saw the newspaper clipping. Who was that?" Snively asked. Sam was about to
turn on the radio but she let her hand drop instead.
"He was trying to save someone. Somehow, a terrorist got on the plane and
planted a bomb. He was my dad," she said. "People don't realize how many
families a war destroys. War doesn't solve anything. People think war is how
we should settle things. It's not. It would be easier to talk it all out. You
know...compromise." She no idea how much of an impact her words were making
on Snively. He also didn't know that her words were for her own convenience
as well.
"We're at war at home too. My uncle turns people into robots," Snively said.
Sam looked up at him for a second.
"Dude, you have a huge bruise!" she exclaimed out of nowhere. "What
happened?"
"My uncle is what happened. He beats me whenever his plans go wrong," said
Snively.
"I'm so sorry," she said quietly.
"Why?" he asked, wondering why she was giving him sympathy.
"Snively, no one deserves to be beaten. Much less be turned into a robot or
to have their life be cut short," she said. She pulled over.
"We're here." They got out of the car and walked into the building.
"Hello, Sam, booth or table?" asked the waiter.
"Booth," she replied, without hesitation.
"Right this way. Our special tonight is chicken and noodles," the waiter
turned and left.
"I think I'll have the special." Sam said.
"I think I will also," said Snively. They ordered and ate quietly. Soon, they
paid and left for Sam's apartment.
"You can sleep in the guest bedroom." Sam broke the ice that had been around
for about 45 minutes.
"Thank you." Snively replied.
"You're welcome and good night," Sam answered. She left the room and went to
hers. After lying in bed awhile, he heard her talking. He went to her door
and listened to what she was saying.
"Hey, it's me again. Instead of usual things I pray about, I have a special
request. Can You help Snively with his problems? I know I just met him and
all, but after what I heard what happens at his home, I felt like You could
handle it. I don't want to see him go, but he has to go home sometime. Just
help him. In Your name I pray, Amen." Snively heard some rustling, a click,
and then nothing. He assumed that she had went to sleep. He walked into the
guest room. He too, went to sleep.
--------------------------------------------
Snively woke up to see a bright light.
"Sam? Where are you?" he asked.
"THERE IS NO ONE BY THE NAME 'SAM' HERE," said a robotic voice. He looked up
to realize that he was back in Robotropolis again.
"Have I been gone anytime since the Freedom Fighters attacked?" he asked
hopefully.
"NO SIR," the robot answered.
"It must have been a dream," he muttered. "But it felt so real."
"YOU ARE TO REPORT TO DR. ROBOTNIK IN THREE HOURS," the robot continued.
Snively got up and left. He went to his room. As soon as he got there, he
took a piece of paper and a pen. Then he drew the best picture of Sam as
possible and hung it on his wall.
"I'll try to find you as soon as I get to Earth. I'll try to end this war for
you to," he said quietly. He stood and walked out of the room.
