Tiff Rose was an ordinary girl. Or, as normal as an anthropomorphic hedgehog could be.
Tiff was fourteen, pretty, perky, intelligent, but never got any boys. She wasn't 'cool' enough. She soon became emo. And that's where our story begins.
Tiff wandered along the halls, not caring what her friends thought about her. Orchid, Annelise and Stella could go fuck themselves.
Her best friend Michigan was waiting outside the lunchrooms for her, holding her lunch.
"Mich, I can't be bothered. I have to go see Mephiles. Apparently I've got extra homework." Tiff explained.
"Okay, just, just tell me everything!" Michigan insisted.
"Will do, captain." Tiff laughed, running towards the doors at the end of hall. She ran for ten minutes before bumping into her crush, Silver. He was her friend Stella's little brother.
"Hey Silver." She said quickly, bolting past him.
"Hey Tiff." He said, reading his book. Tiff thought he should get some real action.
She ran for another five minutes before she reached Mephiles' lab. She opened the door.
"You're late." A deep voice said.
"I know, and I'm sorry, but I had to-" she complained.
"No excuses. What you're doing today is very important. It will change the outcome of the world, change the present!" he said.
Tiff scoffed. She was going to get the 'world over needs' speech again.
"You are going to the past." He proclaimed.
"Really? So I get to change the world as we know it?" she muttered.
Mephiles walked out of the shadows. He was always very creepy.
"Are you ready?" he said.
"As much as I was last week." She smirked.
"Just get in there." He said, pushing her in.
She appeared in a place she never thought she'd see. It was like what her grandfather had told her about. It was green, the sky was blue, and there were flowers.
She saw something blue rush past.
"That must be-" she said. "Sonic."
He rushed back at the sound of his name.
"Hello, pretty." He muttered.
"Back off," she hissed.
Amy walked up, looking slightly dazed.
"Hey Sonic, what're you doing?" he asked.
He ignored her. "Who're you? Are you new around here?" he asked Tiff.
"I'm Tiffany Sonya Rose, and I'm here to save the world, if that's what you mean. And of course I'm new." She said angrily.
"How old are you?" Sonic asked.
"Fourteen." She said softly. She walked away, her ponytail jumping.
She met Cream, a small rabbit.
"Hello." She said kindly.
"Pleased to meet you, Ms Rose." Cream replied.
"Wait, how do you know my name?" she asked.
"News spreads fast in Solaris." Cream said quietly.
Tiff walked with Cream until her mother came out and yelled at her. Tiff kept walking. About half and hour later, she ran into what seemed to be a brick wall.
"Ouch, stupid-" she cursed.
"Look who you're calling stupid." A deep voice told her.
"M-M-Mephiles?" she stuttered.
"No, who's Mephiles? I'm Shadow." The voice said.
"Okay………" Tiff said, confused. She got up, shook herself off, then straightened her skirt.
"Nice to meet you, Shadow." She said courteously.
"Nice to meet you too, Tiffany." He said.
"News really does go fast in Solaris." She muttered.
"Anyway, do you need any help finding your way around?" Shadow asked.
"No, I got my map….I should be okay." She was more polite than usual.
"Just call if you need anything." He said.
Tiff shook her head. "I'll be fine."
