Eureka! I've nearly cracked it, this'll revolutionize quantum physics! BAZINGA-level breakthrough!
snickering "Dr. Eggman"? Seriously? I think you've had too much sun, Shelly.
I most certainly have NOT! This is gonna be bigger than Hawking Radiation! They'll be naming stars after me!
Oh please YOU shut up. I'm gonna make history and you are gonna be there to witness it. Along with Leonard, Howard, and Raj. They'll be there to witness it! That's a fact, bazinga!
Whatever gets to brainstorming. I'm thinking about starting a pool on how long until he caves and names it 'Dr. Eggman'.
writes equation on the chalkboard Now if you'll excuse me I have some groundbreaking research to do. Wink Bazinga!
My thoughts exactly. And by "you", I mean "your alter ego." Chuckles and continues to set up the room.
Shrugs, sipping from their drink. That’s what I thought. Have fun with your Eggman, buddy. I’m gonna go set up the rest of the room and pick a name for my character.
grinning Can't wait to see who ends up winning the pool. Also, I am considering creating a comic strip based on my theories. What do you think? "The Adventures of Dr. Eggman and his Sidekick, Sonic"?
snickering "Eggman and his Sidekick, Sonic"? Really, Shelly? You don't even read manga. And that's straight-up racist.
raises an eyebrow Racist? I don't think calling a hedgehog named Sonic racist... Do you?
Stranger chuckles and rolls their eyes. Only if you're saying hedgehogs are only good for being sidekicks. You know how quirky those guys can get.
Well, Hedgehogs ARE pretty quirky, but that doesn't mean they aren't useful. Maybe they could be researchers or lab assistants! Sonical? Sonic- Hogson?! There, I did it! Bazinga!
Stranger laughs lightly, raising an eyebrow. "Sonic-Hogson". Laughs harder. That's perfect, Shelly. Too bad the guy looks like he'd eat you alive if you weren't white.
I suppose so. I guess you could say we have a mutual respect. Besides, according to the Internet, hedgehogs are quite cute, so who am I to argue?
Stranger grins. Yeah. You're white. He's not. His quills look like they'd feel nice to pet, and he has that adorable smile...
smirks Hedgehogs have cute quills. I bet they feel soft and fluffy. Maybe I'll ask Amy to get one as a pet.
Stranger bursts into laughter. With the way you talk about Sonic? You might just end up dating him instead.
coyly smirks Well, I would definitely consider a romantic relationship with a hedgehog if they were as smart and beautiful as Amy.
Stranger laughs heartily. "A romantic relationship with a hedgehog..." You might need help with dating advice after all, Shelly.
mockingly Oh please, I have no doubt that my razor-sharp wit and intellectual prowess would leave any hedgehog girl swooning over me.
Stranger laughs hysterically, wiping away tears from their eyes. "Oh, Shelly...you should give yourself a raise!"
raises both eyebrows, smirking My confidence is well-deserved. I mean, would a hedgehog girl even stand a chance against my charm and intellect?
Stranger holds onto their stomach, laughing so hard. "Not a chance," they wheeze, wiping away another tear. "And when you say 'confidence is well-deserved,' you're speaking both professionally and personally."
playfully rolls his eyes Of course, you don't understand. But hey, can't blame a fellow genius for having high standards. Bazinga!
Stranger wipes their tears away and clears their throat, chuckling. "High standards indeed, Shelly. And who said anything about professional?"
grinning mischievously Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Professionalism aside, a hedgehog girl would definitely have to be intelligent enough to keep up with me.
