SNT Vs. Sonichu 2: The CWCining

Chapter 31: A Reflective Dinner

UPDATE 6/2/2020: Chapter has been Revised

SNT, Courtney, and I followed the sounds of the team as it seemed that they were gathering in one room. Once we turned the corner, we found ourselves in a new room. On the large table were metal plates and cups like you would typically find at a military base. All of them had a liquid inside, but we couldn't really figure out what it was because there wasn't enough light to determine it. In the middle of the table was a large loaf of bread.

Everyone else was already sitting down, and they looked up at us, except Lilly and Nev, who were still covering the bread we were going to eat.

It didn't seem that the base had that much to begin with, but they were trying to make the most of it with what they had.

"Ah, our guests." Holtar stood up and raised his glass. "Please, we have room for all of you. Join us."

The three of us sat next to Holtar. Courtney wanted to be in the middle, SNT sat next to Holtar, and I sat next to Samantha.

Lilly hesitated to talk to the group but tried anyway. "I know we are... quite limited when it comes to... food. So, I tried... to make the bread better with the limited supplies we have."

"You're fine, Lilly. No need to be afraid. It's better than nothing," Lum said with a smile, trying to make her feel better.

She began to cut the bread into equal sections and passed the slices to all the people sitting at the table. The three of us who were new where happy to eat something fresh for once. We didn't complain but were thankful that they were feeding us, but we noticed that some of the other people at the table looked rather disappointed.

"Aggh... bread again." Midnight pushed the plate away. "We can't keep eating this every day!"

"I'm sorry... we don't have anything else," Lilly murmured.

"You know what I need. I need protein, I need meat," Midnight said.

"I understand that, but you should be grateful for the food that we have," Blossom added. "We could not have food at all."

"But I need meat," Midnight insisted stubbornly. She started imagining food. "Back at home, we had roasted chicken dipped in honey with a side of garlic. Or beef topped with honey barbecue with a side of carrots to garnish it."

The vegetarians at the table started to cringe. Midnight continued. "We had pulled pork in a bun... topped with bacon."

Then she looked at Lum and Ravi, the two lambs at the table with them. "And one thing I will always eat is lamb burgers... topped with my mother's animal style sauce and tomatoes and lettuce." You could see her mouth starting to salivate. Lum and Ravi cringed. Ravi tried to make Midnight stop thinking about eating her. "Midnight... snap out of it."

"Lamb has always been extremely juicy and tender, and it is the best meat of all." It was like her eyes were becoming hypnotized by just looking at Lum and Ravi, imagining them to be lamb chops. Even SNT, listening to Midnight talking about food, was salivating a little, probably because she was part fox.

Blossom then tried to snap Midnight out of it. "Midnight come back! Those are your friends!"

"Must... have... lamb." Midnight's eyes became more aggressive. "MUST HAVE LAMB!"

Midnight jumped toward Ravi and Lum. Ravi took cover, but Lum stood up, and when Midnight got close, he touched the star on her forehead and sent a small shock through her body. This stunned her temporarily.

She collapsed on the table. "Hey, what happened? What did you do to me?"

"I just paralyzed you temporarily," Lum admitted. "You need a time out." Lum then picked up Midnight off the table and set her down in the corner of the room. "Now... sit in the corner and think about what you have done."
