      Mikhail Sinitsin decided to eat Nesquik chocolate balls before going to bed and watched a Soviet program on his TV. CinemaSins: A Soviet-era screensaver at the height of the twenty-first century. AntiSins: So maybe it’s just a video cassette with a recording of a program from Soviet times, which is simply watched at the height of the twenty-first century. Sinitsin watched and watched, distracted by the TV and missing the old days, not even paying attention to the fact that he never touched the bowl of balls and did not eat a single spoon. Mikhail didn’t even notice how he immediately fell asleep, lying on the sofa. He slept and only listened to the quiet noise of interference from the TV, since the Soviet broadcast had ended. At this time, there were temporarily glass cases on the nightstand, behind which were all the collector’s toys. Only the wooden pedestal for Robotnik's box did not have a glass case. Sonic himself, without his right hand, stood slightly at an angle inside his glass case. He came to life and looked closely at his captor to see if he was sleeping. It seemed that, judging by the fact that he was snoring, he had fallen asleep. — “I still have a chance!” — he thought, looking at Sinitsin’s pocket, where he had hidden his right hand. His plan was to try to get his severed arm and escape with it. With his left hand, he quietly and slowly opens the door of his case, descends from his pedestal, grabbing the edge with his left hand, and then jumps from the shelf to the floor. Before moving on, he looked around and noticed that there were a bunch of chocolate balls lying on the floor and the overturned bowl stained the carpet a little, leaving a puddle of chocolate milk that soaked into the carpet. — “Nothing will stop me. I have to pass here!” — the hedgehog decided and began to carefully step over the balls with his feet so as not to crush them and not wake up the collector with a crunch. He also carefully moved some balls to the sides with his feet, clearing his way further. Suddenly he heard a crunch behind him and his eyes widened. When he turned around, he saw Nicole the lynx, who accidentally stepped on one of the balls with her right paw, as well as little brown Tails, who, putting his right index finger to his lips, asked her not to make noise. — Sorry! — she apologized in a whisper to the fox. — Tails? Nicole? — Sonic called them by name in a whisper, not expecting to see them. — What are you both doing here? Go away! Go away, go away, go away! — he asked them, waving his left hand, but they did not listen and walked through the balls as well, approaching him. The hedgehog grabbed his eyelid with his only hand and pulled it out of anger so that he almost tore it off. — Hush, Sonic. We want to help you. — Nicole explained. — Why do you need to help me? Because of me, you will have to gather dust in a box for the rest of your life. I don’t want you to blame me for this, and then I would be ashamed of leaving you, even though you helped me. Please leave! — No, Sonic. We are your friends and have sworn to always help you in everything. And it doesn’t matter what happens to us. Whether you like it or not, we will help you escape. — Nicole answers. — “What am I doing?” — Sonic was indignant, scolding himself. — Okay. Went! But just look, be quiet! — Certainly! We are dumb, like fish, quieter than water and lower than the grass. — Nicole agrees. — Fine. Then let's go! — says Sonic and Tails and Nicole carefully walked further past the chocolate balls behind him. Walking past the scattered balls was problematic. Although they could roll to another place, the toys were careful not to bump into each other and not create more noise. Plus, I had to constantly look at my feet so as not to accidentally crush anything. — Here, here! — Sonic called in a whisper, finding himself behind the sofa, where the chocolate flakes did not reach and he could stand quietly. Nicole and Tails walked towards him with quick small steps. — Great. Help me climb up. — Sonic, are you sure this is a good idea? You might accidentally wake up the collector and give yourself away! Sonic thought about it. He really took a big risk by trying to take his hand back like that. The Collector could accidentally wake up and see that he was not only out of place, but also alive. He could have given away that toys could come to life and then, perhaps, something worse awaits them than just someone's collection. But loud snoring overhead made it clear that the man was sleeping like the dead and that he was unlikely to wake up from any minor movement. Yes, he didn’t even wake up from the sound of the plate falling! — Yes, he sleeps like the dead, he will probably wake up only in the morning. We don't have to worry. — Well look! I just warned you. — the lynx clarified, bent down so that the fox stood on her shoulders, and then the hedgehog himself climbed onto her and onto Tails’ shoulders. Nicole rose to her feet first, followed by Tails himself, and then Sonic simply jumped slightly, grabbed the edge of the railing of the armrest of the sofa with his left hand and rose with difficulty. With the second hand it would have been a little faster and easier for him to get up, but he still managed. Standing on the armrest, on which the man’s head lay next to him, he looks into his pocket, where his right hand is hidden deeper. The hand showed some signs of a separate life, crawled out, and then stopped. The hedgehog tried to reach his hand while standing on the armrest, but almost lost his balance and fell. Realizing that he couldn’t reach it that way, he decided to get closer and stepped on the collector’s shoulder. Then he turned towards the big head and noticed that Sinitsin was smiling in his sleep and turned over on his side. He dreamed of himself in a business suit at some holiday, dancing with security guards in sunglasses to the song “Psy — Gentleman.” By this time, Tails and Nicole themselves had decided to go back to their shelf and lock themselves in their cases, hoping that Sonic would handle the rest on his own. Having made sure that the man did not wake up and continue to sleep, Sonic sighed with relief and reached out with his left hand to his right. She again showed a sign of life, also reached out to his left palm and took hold of it. Thus, the one-armed toy obtained its severed hand and pulled it out of its pocket. The first goal was achieved and it was time to get out of here. He just wanted to stand on the armrest again and jump off, when suddenly the TV, by some miracle, switched itself and the screensaver of the animated series “My Little Pony: Friendship is magic” began playing on the TV with a very maximum noise volume. At the same time, along with the music, the personnel voice sang too loudly: — MY LITTLE PONY!!! MY LITTLE PONY!!! Sinitsin immediately bulged his eyes at what he heard and jumped up from the sofa, quickly catching his breath in fear and saying out loud: — WHAT??? WHERE??? NO!!! No! What do you? No! Chief, no. It's not me. I swear! I did not know. I’m just here... — he said to the question, looking around and suddenly saw Sonic himself lying on the floor along with his severed hand, and his glass case was open and empty, unlike the others, which were all the other toys. A little worried, he takes the hand of the hedgehog himself. — My God! How so? Stay here for now! Ooh, heavy case! - he says to him, putting it back in the case and closing it, after which he began to walk around the room and look for the remote control. While Sinitsin was not looking at him, Sonic temporarily came to life and looked around, not understanding how the TV switched on its own. The hedgehog noticed that the TV remote control was nearby on the same nightstand. At the same time, he was close to the case with Sally Acorn. Sonic immediately became suspicious that she was the one who arranged this. The collector himself was still looking for the remote control at that time. — So! Where's the remote control? Where is he? Where did he go? WHERE IS THE REMOTE??? DAMN-DAMN!!! — he almost cursed himself and only now noticed that the remote control was lying on the same shelf, next to the cases. — My God! Why do I always throw it everywhere and then forget about it? Then he takes the remote control, turns down the volume and turns off the TV. Afterwards, he yawns and decides to go to his room to sleep, while holding Sonic's right hand in his hand. When he left, Sonic was truly furious. Sharply opening his case again and jumping out, he immediately shouted at Sally: — WHAT KIND OF JOKES ARE THIS??? A??? Of course, I myself am very sorry for all of you that I cannot help you all in any way, but there is no point in posting such numbers? Sally's eyes widened, not understanding why Sonic was yelling at her like that, and the only thing she could think of to ask was: — What? Do you think I did it? — Well, yes, yes. — the hedgehog said with sarcasm from disbelief, and then began to imitate Sally. — The TV turned on by itself, and the remote control just grew wings and magically flew to me. CinemaSins: Actually, the TV was already on. He was simply switched channel. AntiSins: Well, Sonic just wanted to show off his anger in front of Sally. Sally was indignant at such impudence and asked: — Do you think I'm lying? — Well, it turns out that yes. — Sonic answers. Sally smiles slyly and says: — Well, repeat what you just said? Sonic clicked through a smile and answered: — You... Everything... You're lying! Like this. — Okay. — Sally got angry, opened her case and jumped out after him. Having knocked the hedgehog down, she spun around with him on the nightstand, as if on the floor, grabbed him by the waist and stood him upside down. — What are you doing? Put me down! The toy chipmunk takes out a toy gun with a rubber bullet. Sonic gets scared and tries to get up, not realizing to just roll over or roll to the side. She shoots him in the stomach and thereby throws him off. — Okay! Let's! — he reprimands out of anger, gets up and runs at her, hoping to hit her with one single hand. — Do you want to get in trouble? However, Sally grabs his left fist with her right hand and hits him in the head with her left hand. Then she jumps on him, knocks him to the floor and, grabbing his only arm, pulls him towards her, and pushes him in the back with her right foot. — Well? Received? Take back your words! Take them back! — Even though you’re a girl, I won’t let you down. — the hedgehog answers, and the chipmunk hits and pushes him in the back at the same time even harder. — Oh no no no! My back! — SONIC, SALLY, STOP IT NOW!!! — Robotnik tried to reason with them inside the box, who stood to the side of them on his pedestal. Suddenly he accidentally falls from his pedestal. All the other toys immediately came out of their cases and helped Robotnik's box rise, and the rest grabbed Sonic and Sally by the waists with their hands and did not let them near each other so that they would not kill each other. - Of course, I don’t understand why the TV turned on? But you shouldn’t fight over such a trifle! — If only I had two hands, I would ask you. — the blue one threatened the chipmunk, which made her angry and wanted to hit him even harder. — Sonic, calm down! - Bunny assured. — You only have one hand so far. — Bunny is right, so you better wait until the morning! — Snively advised. — In the morning, a familiar master will come, fix your hand and... — before he could finish, Sonic interrupted him with his cry: — AND THEN I'LL ESCAPE FROM HERE!!! When he heard the scream, Tails became sad, lowered his head and walked away into Sally’s arms. Sonic paid attention to this and realized that he was too excited with such a cry, offending the little fox. — Oh no, no, Tails! Please don't be offended by me! I'm having a good time with you, but David... — David, David, David! — Sally interrupted the hedgehog, starting to imitate him. — He only thinks about him! We all already understand that it is important for you to return to your beloved owner! Stop reminding us of this!!! With these words, Sally took Tails by the shoulders and walked away with him, hinting that she no longer wanted to talk to Sonic. The hedgehog remained in place, looking after them and felt his conscience beginning to gnaw at him. He really does not treat his friends well, knowing that they will soon be locked in boxes again, perhaps forever, while he himself will be at home with his owner. If he gets home at all...

At the same time

      The toys, under Silver's leadership, were still wandering through the fog and walking for a long time. Silver looked at the copy of the map of the land of fogs drawn on his paper and determined that they were still far from the city where they should go. — No, then we will get to the city in only two days. It's a pity that this guard is still detaining Dennis. He would have driven up to us long ago and dropped us off. We won't make it until next morning. — the leader suggested out loud. — But we need to get there somehow. — assured Cream. — Silver, you're smart. We're sure you'll come up with something. — And I agree with Silver. Of course, I don’t mind walking all night, but if we walk for two days, then... I don’t know about you, but my legs will fall off. Bokkun said and sat down, rubbing his removable legs away from his body. — Come on, Bokkun! Tell me, did Sonic whine when Shadow threw him and me out of the car on the way to the Golden Bird cafe? — after the question, not only Bokkun, but also everyone else shook their heads in response. — That's right, I didn't whine. Did he whine when bandits were about to break into our house? — No. — everyone answered at once. — Right. Also no. — Silver confirmed, and then asked the next question. — And he whined when David accidentally broke his arm and decided to leave it at home, after which Lili put it on the top shelf until she decided to fix it herself? — Oh, it’s better not to remember this! — Omega answered a little sadly. — No, he didn’t whine. And if he didn’t whine and didn’t give up, then we all won’t whine and give up either. — Silver began his motivational speech and, in addition, Silver even imagined that he was speaking his speech against the backdrop of a red flag with a golden emblem of a hammer and sickle appearing behind him. — Our comrade needs help and we will not leave him in trouble. — We will never give up and will not back down until he returns home to David safe and sound. — he finished and stood in a proud pose. The toys immediately began to applaud. — Bravo, Silver. You have a good motivational speech. But the question still worries us. How can we quickly get to the city where Mikhail Sinitsin, who kidnapped Sonic, lives? — the Time Eater wondered, and suddenly a short shaking of the earth began for a second. A couple of seconds later it happened again. — What is this? Has the earthquake started? — Bend down! It seems to me that someone big is coming. — Silver suggested and looked around in the direction where the sound of footsteps came from. Simultaneously with his steps, the ground shook slightly, so that even Blaze could not stay on her heels and fell on her heel to the ground. Suddenly, the silhouette of a huge creature with six columnar legs appeared in the fog. The creature let out a quiet roar, which was a mixture of the sound of a camel and the roar of a bear. A giant fifty meters tall came out of the fog and stopped right in front of the toys. Then the body began to bend slightly with the front down and the back up, the hind and middle legs standing still. The middle paws slightly bent to the sides, and the front paws took one step to the sides to make bending more comfortable. And then the head of a giant with its tentacles appeared from the fog. He paid attention to the living toys themselves and examined them, but he himself did not even think about touching them or trying to grab them. — What kind of monster is this? Amy asked, pointing her finger at him. She was scared that she was ready to faint, but she could barely control herself. — Six-legged monster. — Silver answers. He was the only one who was not afraid of this creature, as if he had known him for a long time and trusted him. The monster raised one of its tentacles and Silver hugged it, running his hands over it. — Wow! Good! Good! We are friends, not enemies! You don't have to be afraid of us! The creature, of course, perfectly understood what the white hedgehog was telling her and when he released his tentacle, it removed her. — Do you see? He really is harmless! — Silver assured everyone so that other toys would not be afraid of him either. The toys were really still afraid of him, so they only approached him dangerously one small step at a time. The monster passed its tentacles to them and they lightly touched each one, still afraid that the monster might grab them and eat them. Luckily the monster didn't think about it. After making sure that the monster was not dangerous, the toys gradually got used to it and slowly hugged it by its tentacles. — This is huge! The big one looks like a mixture of a whale and a hippopotamus. — Rouge joked about him. — I wonder if he understands us? — Omega thought. — Since he came here and saw us, then maybe he can at least take us to where we need to go? — Sorry, Mister Monster! — Silver turned to the monster and he looked at him with his own eyes. — Won't you help us? We are looking for our friend. He is so soft, plush and blue, and he is also a hedgehog, like me and Amy. He was kidnapped by a rich man who lives in your country. You don’t know where this same person lives and where we can find him? - after the question, Silver wrote the license plate of Sinitsin’s car on the ground in large letters with his fingers in two minutes. — His car has the same license plate! You've never seen anything like this. The monster looked closely at the inscription on the ground and bulged its eyes. He recognized the license plate of a car that he had once seen somewhere and decided to help the toys. He put his remaining paws to the sides and lay down on the ground. Then he lowered each finger in front of each toy, hinting for them to stand on them. Each toy took steps forward, standing on its tentacles, and then these same tentacles rose and placed their monster on its back. After this, the giant slowly gets up, turns back and walks on, while the toys sat on his back and thought at the same time: — “Now we’ll definitely get to Sonic by morning!”
