Chrissy: (walks out wearing black robes) How do I look?

Knuckles: (raises eyebrow) Why are you dress like that?

Shadow: (smiles) Black doesn't suit you.

Chrissy: (sticks out tongue) I dressed like this to get in the spirit of my newest fic. Oh, and if nobody minds, I invited a few guests over.

Sonic: (groans) It's crowded enough in here already!

Chrissy: I'm not stupid, Sonic. They're camping out back.

Tails: Who are they?

(DING DONG!)

Chrissy: That's the doorbell!

Amy: I'll get it! I'm already down here!

Knuckles: So? Spill it already! Who're our mystery guests?

Amy: OMGOMGOMG! (runs upstairs) You guys aren't gonna believe this! Harry Potter is standing outside! He says he was invited over!

Shadow: (eyes wide) OMG! She's doing another cross-over! (hides)

Harry: (Pokes head in) Hey Chrissy!

Chrissy: Glad you could make it! Who'd you bring?

Harry: Well, Sirius couldn't make it (he said he was busy), but I've got Ron, Hermione, Cedric, Neville, Hedwig, Hagrid, Fred, George, and Ginny. Ginny was begging to come, and I couldn't say no…

Chrissy: It's fine. The tents are set up in the back; There's Only 4 though…

Harry: We'll manage. I'll get everyone set up. (walks off)

Chrissy: Well, I should post the Prologue so everyone can read it…

Sonic: God, I hope you didn't make me look like a dork…

Knuckles: R&R!

Prologue: You've been accepted…

"I'm glad you all could make it." Tails began. He was addressing the group in front of him, which consisted of Sonic, Knuckles, Cream, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Jeremy, Venus and Chrissy. Standing beside him was Fearith. Together they had been working on a project that had taken months to complete, but now they were certain they had the solution.

"What's this all about, Tails?" Chrissy inquired. She had heard about this big "Top Secret" project her brother and Tails had been working on, but of course he had said nothing about the details.

Tails grinned excitedly. "Your brother and I have been trying to find a way to harness the power of the Chaos emeralds in order to induce Chaos Control manually."

Shadow rolled his eyes. "I knew this was a waste of time. News Flash, dork, Sonic and I can already DO that!"

Chrissy threw him a look so evil that "The Ultimate Lifeform" flinched and fell silent. She looked to the Kitsune. "Go on Tails." She said gently.

Tails cleared his throat. "As I was saying, this machine will allow us to cause Chaos Control. But it will do much more than that. Not only can we induce a major Chaos Control with all seven emeralds, but we can control the Chaos Control and choose where to go."

There was an excited murmuring throughout the entire room. But Knuckles, seated next to Chrissy, looked skeptical. "Chaos Control is unpredictable. There's no way we could control something that large."

"What's the matter, Knux? All this Technical stuff too big for you to wrap your head around?" Sonic jeered from the back. "Maybe you should speak a little slower Tails, so he can catch up!"

A well-aimed dagger from Chrissy whizzed right past the blue hedgehog's ear and stuck into the wall, silencing him for a moment. Sonic swallowed hard and laughed nervously, thanking the gods that Chrissy had good aim. Chrissy looked at him and smirked before nodding to Tails again.

"We won't bother to try and explain the inner-workings of the machine," continued Fearith, who had already begun shifting uncomfortably. "because it was complicated for us to understand and, no offense, but if we could barely understand it, we don't think any of you could." After several nods of approval from his friends, Fearith walked over to the control panel. "We simply set coordinates here, place a subject into the teleportation chamber," Fearith pointed through the glass into a large, round, white-walled room. "and Chaos Control does the rest."

"That's all well and good." Rouge said from the back of the room, sounding unimpressed, as usual. "But the question is, does it even work?" She smiled in Tails' direction. "Not to doubt your abilities, Fox-boy, or yours Fearith, but I'm not going for any rides in this carnival unless I know it's safe."

Tails looked nervous at the question, but answered truthfully nonetheless. "Well, so far we've only tested the 'Chaos Controller' (as we've come to call it) on inanimate objects – chairs, stuffed animals, pillows and the like."

"We even managed to get a car to go through it." Fearith piped in cheerfully.

"So that's what happened to my Lamborghini!" Shadow said angrily beneath his breath, and the cursing that ensued was quieted only by a sharp look from Chrissy that, if looks could kill, might've chopped the black hedgehog's head off.

"The problem is that no live subjects have been sent through it." continued Tails, biting back his hysterical laughter at Shadow's outburst. "We don't know if the Chaos Controller can even transport bio-matter, let alone transport it intact."

Everyone fell silent at this grim notion that this machine might not be able to transport them as they had hoped unless successful tests were performed. Chrissy was the first to speak up after the eerie silence.

"I say we give it a shot."

Everyone looked at the black dog as though she had gone insane.

Chrissy walked over and stood next to the Kitsune and the red dog, putting a hand on each of their shoulders. "I'm not kidding. I trust these two with my life. I would hate to see all their effort go to waste just because they don't have any willing test subjects." She looked at the group in front of her. "If they need a test subject, I'm in." Fearith was looking up at Chrissy with a look of quiet admiration.

Knuckles smiled. "Well, I'm certainly not letting you do this alone." He stood, walked over and stood next to her. "I'm going too."

Sonic smiled. "Count me in!"

Amy threw her arms around Sonic. "Anywhere Sonic goes, I go!"

Shadow grunted. "You think I'd let the faker go anywhere without me?" he said as he smirked. "I'm in."

Rouge sighed. "I suppose I'll come too…"

"I'll have to ask my mom first, but I'm sure she won't mind." Cream said smiling.

Chrissy looked at Jeremy and Venus. "You guys probably want to come too, but someone needs to stay here in case…" she didn't finish the thought.

Venus looked slightly disappointed, but Jeremy merely nodded, as if he was about to suggest it himself.

After spending a few minutes to prepare themselves and call Cream's mother, Vanilla, the group walked into the teleportation chamber, followed by Tails. "I'll be going too." Said the Kitsune. "It'll be good to have one of us on either side, in case… well, just in case." He said, looking at the ground nervously. A quick thumbs up from Sonic peaked his spirits however, and he repeated the gesture to Fearith, who began pushing buttons on the control panel.

All seemed to be going well as the machine began to whirr. But suddenly there was a loud buzzing sound that Chrissy knew meant they were in trouble.

Both Fearith and Tails looked frantic as Fearith began pushing buttons. Chrissy looked at her younger brother as he mouthed the words "It's not responding". At that point she knew that they were going to be sent away.

"Hold on everyone!" The black dog yelled to the group. She grabbed Amy and Cream and clung tightly to them, like a mother protecting her children, then grabbed Knuckles' hand and held it firmly.

There was a flash of light, and Chrissy shut her eyes, but she could feel Knuckles' hand slipping from her grasp. She tried to hold onto it, but it was ripped from her grip. Chrissy suddenly felt as though she was being thrown into space, hurtling and spinning out of control. The last thing she felt was something striking her body, and she lost consciousness...

Amy: What does that have to do with Harry Potter?

Chrissy: It's how we got there. I decided that falling back on the whole "fighting Eggman, Chaos control suddenly happens" routine wouldn't exactly be appropriate.

Knuckles: Well, I just hoped you planned a way for us to get back…

Chrissy: Don't worry… (smirks) I did…

Sonic: (groans) She's got that look in her eye again…

Chrissy: Well, we'll just see how things go… Until then… Oh! Wait! HARRY!

Harry: (runs upstairs) Yeah?

Chrissy: Why don't you have the honor of telling people to read and review?

Harry: No problem! R&R!
