They then walked around ancient Greece, seeing all the people chatting with each other, but both of them were still invisible. She then says: What do you want to see here, Sonic? Sonic thinks: I want to see the people doing the "ancient Olympics." I'm curious to see how they did sports back in the day.

Sure! *they both seem excited*, they then go to an old "amphitheater" and start watching the sports from the tribune (remember, they're still invisible, so they don't have to buy tickets..).

Both are excited watching the athletes doing sports like javelin, wrestling, and even boxing. Sonic, amazed, says: Woah... they do all this without any adequate equipment like in the future. Very impressive! They sure did a great job! *she says*.

After the matches, she asks Sonic: Wanna meet some of these athletes? I know some of them

After the matches, she asks Sonic: Wanna meet some of these athletes? I know some of them. He says with excitement: You sure are known by so many people here, aren’t you? Let’s go! *whispers* Oh yeah... be my translator, okay? I still can’t understand ancient Greek!! She nods: Ugh... okay... I guess...? (In her heart: Hmm... even though I could make him understand ancient Greek instantly, I’m bored.)

*They meet some of the athletes, chat with them, and Dorothy introduces Sonic to them. The athletes obviously look confused by her appearance, but she explains that "he's from another continent," and they chat anyway. Suddenly, Dorothy forgets why she even brought Sonic there in the first place.*

Aren’t they fun, Sonic? Ancient Greek people are nice!.. even though they can be brutal sometimes. *chuckles* Sonic, still overjoyed by the trip, says: It’s crazy to experience all of this... they’re all so fun!

Sonic then asks her again, more seriously: Okay... aside from the fun side of this trip, I wanna ask again. Why do you need our help? Dorothy remembers her goal in taking Sonic to that point: Oh, yeah... hmm... we need to go to a place where "we" will tell you.

Sonic, confused by the word "we" asks: "WE"?? Who are the others? And why didn’t you bring my other team members here too? She convinces him: I need you to be convinced first, by this trip... after this, if I tell your team about "my help" and they’re not convinced like you are, they won’t help me. So, my first help from you is; can you help convince your team about the other help I will tell you later?

Even though Sonic is still half confused, he understands what Dorothy says: Sure... but what kind of help do you and the "others" need from my team? She simply says: We're heading to a place where I'll tell you about my help, so just follow me, bro. Okay... okay... lead the way. *he agrees with Dorothy's statement*

*After several walks, they arrive in a lush forest where the aura is surreal. As they walk, searching for something, they finally see something from afar.*

Sonic whispers to Dorothy: Hmm

Sonic whispers to Dorothy: Hmm... I see someone there. What’s he doing? Dorothy whispers back: Hmm... oh, there he is... Sonic gives her a look: Who is he?

They approach the man, who is playing a harp and writing poems. Sonic loves the harmonization and says: He's a cool guy, isn’t he, Dorothy? The man, shocked by their sudden appearance, speaks in ancient Greek. Dorothy then starts speaking with him in ancient Greek again. *Sonic listens on in confusion, still lost at the fact that they’re talking in ancient Greek.*

*Both of them then look at Sonic. The mysterious man says something to Dorothy, maybe about Sonic, and they both start laughing.*

Sonic, confused, asks: What the hell is going on? Who is he, and why are you talking to him in the first place? Did you say something weird about me to him? Can you tell me what you’re saying?

Dorothy gives him an annoyed look: You talk too much, huh... He says you look like a "rock but painted blue." *laughs out loud* Sonic crosses his arms with a weirded-out look: Uh, yeah, that’s great. So they just met me and are already making fun of how I look. Real nice. Why are you talking to him, anyway? Dorothy mumbles: Maybe because I know him and he knows me, dumbo...

Sonic groans and says: Ugh, I know that, smartypants. I meant why are you talking to him at all? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you—his name is Apollo. Do you know him from history books or something? Sonic thinks for a moment, then says: Apollo... uh, that name rings a bell... wasn’t he the god of the sun or something?

Dorothy explains: Yeah, he’s the god of poetry, prophecy, archery, and more. He's my inspiration! And my good ol' friend from here! Sonic looks at her, surprised: Wait, really?? I never would've guessed that an ancient Greek god like him would be your “good ol' friend.” Dorothy laughs: I knew you'd be shocked hearing that, Sonic! *laughs*

*She chats with Apollo for a while, then decides to make an illusion, allowing Sonic to speak fluent ancient Greek, even though he feels like he’s speaking English. He also sees the ancient Greeks speaking English.*

Now talk, Sonic... *she says seriously* He then says: What’s up? Apollo responds: Oh... here he is, the "blue thing" who can now talk in (ancient) Greek! Sonic, tired of them making random nicknames for him, says: Well, first you call me a “blue rock,” now “blue thing.” You need some better nicknames for me, jeez... *he realizes* Hold up... how is he speaking English? And how do I know ancient Greek??

Sonic wonders: "EVERYTHING ABOUT HER IS WEIRD... UGH!"
