(Sonic is walking down one of the many hallways of the Smash Mansion, when he sees Ashley cowering behind a stacked set of boxes.)
Sonic: Hey, Ash. Whatâs uâŚ
(He stops to see that Ashley looks beyond mortified, basically to the point where the colors have been drained from her entirely.)
Sonic: A-A-Ashley? Ashley? Ashley? (grabs Ashleyâs shoulder and starts shaking her) Earth to Ashley!
Ashley: H-huh? Oh, Sonic! I-I was hoping Lucas would show, but I guess youâll have to do.
Sonic: Whatâs the matter? You look scared.
Ashley: Thatâs because I am scared, you moron!
Sonic: One, never call me a moron again. In fact, donât call anyone a moron again. Two, what are you afraid of? Iâve known you to be the type of person whoâs almost never scared ofâŚwell, anything!
Ashley: Itâs not a what that Iâm scared of. Itâs a who.Â
Sonic: Ok, who are you afraid of? Did you see the version of me before they redesigned him?
Ashley: Believe me, if it was that, Iâd be dead. ItâsâŚwell, itâsâŚ
Ashley: Nuh-uh! And if you say Lucas next, I will curse you with slow speeds for the rest of your life.
Sonic: Then just tell me!
Ashley: Iâm scared ofâŚofâŚ
Ashley: Iâm scared ofâŚthat guy!
(Ashley points atâŚDoomguy, who is currently playing Oddworld: Abeâs Oddysee on his Switch.)
Sonic: The Slayer? Seriously? Whatâs so scary about him?
Ashley: Are you seriously asking that?!
Sonic: Well, yeah! The Slayerâs a pretty chill guy!
Ashley: D-do you even knowâŚwhat the Slayer does?
Sonic: HeâŚkills demons?
Ashley: Yes! And what exactly is Red, as well as all the monsters Iâve summoned?!
Sonic: TheyâreâŚallâŚdemons.
Ashley: Yes, and thatâs why Iâm scared! To say the Slayerâs infamous in the Demon Realms would be an understatement! Last week, several demons were sent out to fight him in mortal combat! Not one of them came back! NOT ONE!!
Sonic: (sighs) AshleyâŚyouâre a witch with powerful magic spells and a boyfriend gifted with psychic powers. He just has guns. Lots and lots of guns. Plus, he can run out of ammo. You canât. Why are you scared of him when you can both easily overpower the guy?
Ashley: Well, youâve got a point there. I guess in that caseâŚI am stronger than him! What am I saying? Of course Iâm stronger than him! Iâm the Great Ashley! And Iâll be the one to finally bring down the Doom Slayer!
Doomguy: Hey, Sonic. Whatâs this little kid blathering on about?
(Ashley turns aroundâŚand Doomguyâs right behind her.)
Doomguy: Whatâs your name, sweetie!
Ashley: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
(In a panic, she rushes in a frenzy to Lucasâs room, banging on the door until Lucas opens it, and Ashley rushes on in.)
Ashley: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, my dearly beloved!
(Ashley kisses him, which can be heard out the door.)
Doomguy: (confused) What was that about?
Sonic: I donât know, buddy. I donât know.
