The sun shone through the window bathing the room in its golden rays. A blue hedgehog stirred as he found light creeping in through his eyelids.
"Mmurrgghh." he mumbled as he turned over, thinking 'I swore I closed those curtains' to himself.
"Wake up Sonic!" cried Tails, banging on his door.
"Wha… muh? … shleep…" could just be heard as he pulled the covers over his head.
A couple of questions ran through the hedgehog's mind at this point.
'What the hell is he doing here? I don't remember letting him stay over last night.'
'Why does he keep calling me Sonic?' Then it dawned on him; 'Sonic?! That's not my….name?!'
A cobalt blur positioned itself in front of a mirror, which revealed a short hedgehog with emerald green eyes and a look of complete terror. The mammal then unleashed a deafening scream.
Shadow the Hedgehog had become Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Shadow the Gloomy Hedgehog, how can I help you?" the sound of his own voice being so… so… cheery was almost too painful to hear.
"Sonic I want my body back!" the blue hedgehog yelled down the phone, venom coating his words as he paced the room with the body of, Sonic's; phone in his other hand.
"Oh, hey Stripes! Wondered when you'd call." his voice got even cheerier as he realised who was calling. "I had a look through your stuff and found your pictures Shads. Gotta say you're quite the artist, but just one subject? You have to learn to draw something else dude."
"Give. It. BACK!" spittle flew across the room.
"I thought I'd go for a run first, you know; see what you can do, where I can go and… who I could talk to." A smile could be heard wrapping itself around those last words.
"You dare and you'll regret it," Shadow growled into the receiver.
"Oh?" Sonic was just asking for it.
"I'll kiss Amy," Shadow threatened, "A big wet kiss, right on the lips."
"So? She's managed to trick me into kissing her loads of times, I'm not that scared" Shadow could hear his own voice wavering on the other end. Time for the big guns.
"Is that so? I guess we'll have to ramp this up then." The blue hedgehog was grinning like he had never done before. "I think Tails would make a wonderful Ring Barer, don't you?"
"What?" he sounded so full of fear, you could smell it a mile off. "You don't mean-"
"Yes I do." The blue figure began tapping his foot impatiently, "I'm going to propose to Amy Rose, unless you get myself over here in the next five seconds." He placed the receiver back on main phone and put it down.
He had just walked out of the bedroom when a loud knocking could be heard on the front door. A familiar yet strange voice could be heard talking to Tails, as he looked downstairs he saw himself with a distinctly different look on his face. Shadow decided to wait for Sonic by his room.
"Hey, buddy where's Sha-Sonic?"
"He's in his room. Shadow?" the little fox seemed puzzled, "Are you ok Shadow?"
"Yeah, fine, little guy." Wandering upstairs he found a blue hedgehog leaning in the doorway to his room.
"Tails could you go out for a bit? We need to talk." Shadow asked, seeing that he had followed 'Shadow' to see what was going on.
"Err.. sure thing, Sonic." Tails looked baffled, but he just nodded, went downstairs and closed the front door behind him.
Sonic walked past the stern looking blue hedgehog and fell onto the bed.
"So, what do we do now?"
