      I am a very big food lover. Mostly chilidogs! This is my favorite dish. I eat only this every day. But in general, you already know this. What a fool I was then. Mom always told me that I shouldn’t eat so much bread and meat, otherwise I’ll get fat and burst. But how could I know about this? It all started from the day when I decided to go visit Amy and we, as friends, decided to just go to a cafe and have lunch together. Of course, not as a couple, but as friends!

***

We arrive one day and Amy finds a free table for the two of us, and at that time I was making an order. For myself, I asked for chilidoggi. Lots of chillidogs. And for Amy, as I promised her, I ordered semolina strawberry porridge and a banana smoothie with a straw. The waiter did not accept my order at first and told me: — Sonic, every day you order and eat only chilidogs! Maybe for the first time in your life you’ll want to eat something different with us? Do you want Olivier salad, chocolate ice cream, fish, tea, soup, borscht, grape juice, or maybe semolina porridge, like your friend!? Or something dairy? At first I was silent for a minute and broke the silence: — That is, for me to eat something... — Tasty and healthy. Not meat. — she finished for me, and I answered her with a stern face: — No. — But, Sonic... — before she had time to finish, I interrupted her. — No. Meat and spices are delicious, but all this rubbish that you all eat, what do you call them?... Vegetables and fruits!... — after the last words, I just stuck out my tongue and began to run around like a sheep. — Sonic, you need to eat a variety of foods if you want to be healthy, energetic and fast. — Stop it! I'm always full of energy and very fast. — That's it for now. But if you eat only this crap every day, then sooner or later you will forget how to run, you will begin to be lazy, get tired quickly and will lie or sit in the same place. And the worst of all! You'll get fat and get stuck in doors like this guy! — the waitress pointed to the exit door, through which Eggman himself tried to pass, but his belly did not let him in. — OH NO!!! HELP, I'M STUCK!!! This made me laugh so much that I even covered my mouth, and the waitress began to scold me for laughing at this: — THERE’S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS, SONIC!!! THIS IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!! — Yes. This is so funny! — I answered her through laughter. — Why have you been here for so long? — Amy came immediately. — Is our order ready? — Not yet. Your friend is reluctant. Every day he eats nothing but crap, what are they called there?... Chilidogs?... — Let him eat them! Nothing terrible will happen and no one will die? — she immediately came to my defense. The waitress rolled her eyes and sighed. — Okay. — Thank you, Amy. Otherwise, this stubborn one still won’t calm down and won’t start doing what I asked her. And now our orders were ready. Amy got her cereal and smoothie, and I got a plate full of twenty chilidogs. I just took the first one and started eating when Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Eggman and Vector approached us. — Sonic, are you serious? Are you eating this crap every day again? — Tails asks, and I answer: — You yourself eat crap, and it’s delicious. — It may be tasty, but there is nothing healthy at all. You, fat hedgehog, can you eat something like that? — Eggman asks. — And this is said by someone who is fat himself? None of your business, Yaikin! — then I laughed, remembering again how funny he got stuck in the door. — I’m the fastest hedgehog and I’ll never get fat or burst. So you don't have to worry about me. I haven’t eaten anything today and I’m finally going to eat the most delicious food again. — I answer them, taking the second chilidog in my hands, and they all laugh at me at once. I don't even understand what's funny about this? — Do you really want to say that you can eat at least a hundred of these sausages in dough and spices and never get fat like me? — Eggman asks. — Yes. Because firstly, I’m very hungry, and secondly, I move and run every day, so my fats will shake out in one or two times and nothing will come from all this. — No, well, did you hear that? — Knuckles laughed along with the others. Even Shadow was funny, oddly enough. — Sonic, of course you are a fatass! — I don’t understand, why are you calling names? Are you crazy? — I was indignant, but they are still laughing. — You are fat-fat-fat, like a passenger ship! — Vector sang, pulling up his tummy and everyone laughed again. — Yes, that’s it! Get out of here! You're disturbing me. I'm already in a bad mood because I'm hungry. — I got up from the table and began to chase them away, but they kept laughing and laughing. — Fat-bellied fatty! — said Eggman. — I hear it from the fat-bellied fatbass. — I responded rudely. — No, Eggman is at least a little slimmer compared to you, because he doesn’t overeat and tries to eat healthy food. — Shadow answers and laughs. — THAT'S IT, GET OUT!!! STOP MODIFYING ME!!! — I shouted and they left the restaurant, still continuing to laugh and mock me: — Sonic, of course you eat! — Tails laughed. — Okay, fat hedgehog, see you tomorrow! — Eggman waved his hand at me mockingly. I can’t tell you how very angry I was with them, I clenched my teeth and my head turned red. After catching my breath, I returned to the table and continued eating when Amy suddenly brought up this topic too: — Sonic, maybe they are right? Maybe you'll stop eating these chilidogs already? — Seriously? Do you want me to starve to death? — No. Just eat something else, like me. Well, think for yourself! What if you are mistaken and, despite your mobility, you really get fat and then burst. Trust me, Sonic! If you really become fat with such a huge belly, you won't be laughing anymore. Just so you know, it’s not nice to laugh at fat people. Only all sorts of morons and idiots laugh at them. — Rose explained to me. — You tell them this, otherwise they laughed at me for no reason. And this despite the fact that I am thin, and among them there is a real fat man, who himself should be ashamed to laugh like that at someone who is slimmer than him. — I told her, and she answered me: — Well, that's enough, Sonic! This is too much! — she was clearly angry with me, stood up, finished the rest of the porridge and finished the cocktail, and then finished: — Our friendship with you, Sonic, is over.” If you don’t listen normally to your friends and won't stop eat this crap, then you and I are no longer friends. Understood? With these words, she left, and the bill for the orders was eventually given to me, since I placed the orders. At first I didn’t understand why she was saying this and, not caring about these intimidations, I continued to eat my favorite and delicious chilidogs. After I had a hearty meal, albeit alone in a cafe, I then went to my home. I suddenly felt that my strength had disappeared somewhere and decided that I probably just didn’t get enough sleep. Then I returned to my home and immediately lay down on my favorite hammock, which I always like to swing on before bed. I decided to take a nap for just a couple of minutes and then start things again in the morning.

      When I just lay down to take a nap for a couple of minutes, I didn’t notice how I immediately fell asleep for real. In the dream, I also woke up in the same gomak, although it felt like I just dozed off and immediately got up. As soon as I got up from the homak, I suddenly felt hungry and my stomach growled, asking me to eat. Although I already ate chilidogs a couple of minutes ago. So why would I want to eat more, I don’t know? In any case, since my tummy is asking me to eat, it’s better not to upset it! I immediately went to the refrigerator to take out and eat a couple of chilidogs. I thought I’d have a snack with them and we’d be full right away. Only I was wrong. I just ate them, but my stomach was still growling and I still wanted to eat. Then I took a couple more and only ate a couple. However, even this was not enough. I only took a couple more. I wasn't full again. Then I had to simplify my entire refrigerator. I ate and drank everything from my refrigerator, leaving only empty bottles and plates. And for some reason I still wanted to eat. Moreover, my belly became large and round. — What is happening to me? — I asked myself. — Do I really eat too much and become fat?... It turns out that Amy and everyone else were right?... — However, I couldn’t think about it properly. I was still hungry and lost control of myself. I grabbed my head and screamed maniacally: — I’M HUNGRY!!!” And I ran from home to the same cafe and began, like a maniac, to threaten everyone and ask me for more chilidogs. They were afraid of me and prepared for me as much as they could. But no matter how much I ate, it wasn’t enough for me. I gained weight even more and even my legs and belly became huge. — SAVE YOURSELF WHO CAN!!! SONIC EATED!!! — everyone shouted and ran away from me. — WHAT IS THIS!!! — I shouted, this time eating everything that came in my way. Not only food, but also all things, as well as Mobians. Yes. I almost became a cannibal. I even grabbed Shadow, Amy and the rest of my friends. — WHAT IS IT??? WHY CAN'T I STOP???

      Suddenly, somewhere on the street outside his lair, Eggman himself woke up abruptly from a nightmare. He took a breath and looked around. — Wow! Well, is it necessary? Will you dream about this? — he asked himself and looked around again. — Why is everything around destroyed and no one is there? At that moment I, all gigantic and fat, came out from behind the trees and crawled towards him, shouting: — THIS WAS NOT A DREAM!!! THIS IS ALL TRUE!!! GRA-A-ARGH HEAL ME PLEASE!!! I DON'T WANT TO EAT CHILIDOGS ANYMORE AND GET FAT!!! I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT!!! I WANT TO RUN!!! I WANT TO EAT VEGETABLES AND FRUITS!!! PLEASE EGGMAN HELP ME!!! But Eggman was afraid of me and did not want to help me. He ran away from me and shouted: — NO NO NO!!! GET AWAY FROM ME, MONSTER!!! I barely caught up with him, grabbed him with my hand and, without any fear, swallowed the poor fellow. Suddenly my stomach growled even more and I felt sick. I began to inflate even more, like a balloon, and suddenly I burst.

      I took that moment and immediately woke up in my homak in the same place and jumped up. It was a nightmare and I actually fell asleep. Having examined myself, I immediately realized that it was a dream and that I was alive. And most importantly, I’m skinny and don’t want to eat. At all. I breathe a sigh of relief. Getting up from the homak, I looked at the refrigerator and everything was the same there. Yes. It was just a dream and everything remained untouched. And glory to Chaos. But still, thanks to this dream, I learned a lesson. I really need to stop eating this crap and start thinking about eating healthier. There are also smaller ones. And now the next few days I began to ask for different and healthy food in cafes. I even tried salad for the first time in my life. It really was tastier and healthier than these chilidogs. Of course, I didn’t completely give up chillidogs. Well, like this. Occasionally I began to eat them, one piece per week. In addition, I even made peace with Amy and those who mocked me by calling me fat and admitted that I was wrong. They even apologized to me for calling me that name. It seems that it was not in vain that I decided that that dream was a lesson for me. Yes, and I was probably lucky that I had exactly this dream exactly that day, as soon as I accidentally fell asleep that day. In any case, I was glad that everything went the way it did. So remember that too, kids! Eat only healthy food! And yes. Sausage doesn't count! Even if it is called “Doctor’s”, this does not mean at all that it is healthy! Healthy foods include only fruits and vegetables. Well, yes. Of course, you can also eat meat and sweets, but only a little! Don’t eat too much of them, otherwise you will become fat and die like balloons when they burst. Or even worse, you'll get stuck in the door. And there is nothing funny here!
