This is it. Nothing has been changed, except for spelling. Even the author's notes are Starvix's. Enjoy.
I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog series, characters, or likenesses thereof. Any similarities between this Sonic and the Sonic of Sega are purely coincidental. Also, when the toddler versions of the children speak, they are speaking 'toddler talk.' THIS IS NOT A SPELLING ERROR; I did this because part of any good caretaker's job is to try and comprehend what this child is saying. Also, I cannot get the warnings thing to work; so there is a little violence (Nothing graphic) and lots of temper tantrums.
Author's Chapter Notes:
Before we start I would like you all to know that I am a humor writer first and foremost; I have and always will strive to write clean humor that is fun to read. Judge for yourselves whether or not I have succeeded.
It started out like any other normal day. Eggman had another one of his bizarre doomsday weapons and was going to unleash it on the world. Of course, this doomsday weapon was powered by the Chaos Emeralds, which means Eggman smashed the Master Emerald (Again.) And this meant that Sonic and Knuckles were out to stop him.
The two were running after Eggman's flying contraption (I believe this one's called the Egg-a-pult) dodging bombs and getting in several lucky shots until the machine started to fall.
"You think you've beaten me?" Eggman laughed hysterically from a floating bubble way up above him. "Guess again, hedgehog! You've fallen right into my trap! Today you will meet your doom at the mighty Eggafier Ray!"
Sonic's eyes narrowed and he cocked his head, smirking. "Hey, Eggman, what's with naming all your trash after eggs? You aught to call it the junk ray, cuz that's what it'll be when I get done with it!"
"Shut your mouth and fight, Sonic," Knuckles snapped at him, jumping up and punching at the Eggafier Ray. However, the Ray was protected by some sort of force field, so the punch never landed. Knuckles recovered quickly and glided to the ground, his eyes never leaving the ray as it started to power up.
"Sonic, we need to find a way to take out that force field!" Knuckles yelled out over the hum of the laser.
"I'm on it!" Sonic yelled back, looking around for a weak spot. Just at the critical moment, however, he was tackled to the ground by a blur of pink and red.
"Sonic! I knew I'd find you, Sonic! I've come to hear you declare your undying love for me!" came the blur's hurried and love struck voice.
Up above the scene in his little plastic bubble thing, Eggman practically squealed in delight as his laser powered up and engulphed his nemesis in a deadly red glow. He really hadn't thought that it would actually work, but hey, who's complaining?
Still, deep in his twisted little heart, he would miss the thrill of trying to outmaneuver and outwit the cocky hedgehog. He had been a worthy adversary, and had died as he had lived, fighting Eggman, protecting his friends, and shrieking, "Amy! Are you INSANE!?"
As Eggman flew away from the newly made crater created courtesy of the Eggafier Ray (Which really has nothing to do with eggs, as you can see), his mind was already devising plans for an egg-related weapon to help him take over the world, and he never noticed a small, blue hand twitch slightly while emerald green eyes flickered open…
Miles "Tails" Prower was worried. Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy were all missing, no one had seen hide nor hair of them since early this morning, when they'd gone after Eggman. Normally Tails would think nothing of it; only there was a newscast on saying Eggman was attacking the city and the cobalt blue hedgehog and his friends were still nowhere to be found.
Frowning, and deeply distressed at this unusual state of events, Tails fired up the Tornado and raced to where they'd last been seen.
The two-tailed fox paled when he saw the crater that the Eggafier Ray had created. He landed the Tornado and was in the hole in an instant, screaming his friends' name in an unnatural state of hysterics.
"Sonic! Knuckles! Amy! SONIC WHERE ARE YOU!?" Tails screamed, tears flowing down his cheeks as he dug through all sorts of rubble.
"Hewe I am!" Chirped a little voice behind him that didn't sound at all like Sonic, Knuckles, or Amy.
Tails whirled around to face a small, two-year-old cobalt blue hedgehog with bright emerald eyes and a happy little grin on his face. It was, however, difficult to tell that he was blue at the moment, because he was completely covered in mud and was currently playing in the dirt. Next to him was a small pink hedgehog, happily making mud pies without a care in the world.
Tails stared at the two, barely comprehending at first what seemed to be impossible. These two little children couldn't possibly be… no, that wasn't possible. Was it?
"S-Sonic?" Tails whispered, a sickening feeling hitting the depths of his stomach.
The hedgehog grinned even wider and struck a pose that was, unmistakably, all Sonic the Hedgehog.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Sonic…what happened?" Tails asked, still trying to confirm what his eyes told him. "And where's…where's Knuckles?" Perhaps Knuckles would be able to explain why his two teenaged friends were two year olds.
Sonic cocked his head quisitively. "Oh, Uckles no no wikey makin' muddy muddy pies. He go sweepy ober dere."
Tails frowned, trying his best to decipher his friend's garbled speech, drew a blank, and finally just looked to where Sonic was pointing. Over on the other side of the crater was a two-year-old Knuckles, sound asleep and sucking his thumb. So much for Knuckles explaining what had happened here. Or Sonic either, although Tails was sure the blue blur would certainly try. That is, if he could remember what happened.
That thought triggered another, and he gasped, "Sonic, do…do you know who I am?"
Sonic scrunched his little face up and he rolled his eyes upward, his finger touching his chin in what he obviously considered to be a thoughtful matter. Finally his eyes lit up and he nodded fiercely. "You my budder!" Sonic cooed. "You my itty budder Tails, but now you gots getting big bigger!"
Tails had absolutely no idea what Sonic had said, but apparently the hedgehog did, in fact, remember who he was.
Amy had apparently realized that Sonic was no longer playing mud pies with her, and she stomped over to him.
"Soooonic!" She whined pitifully. "You pwomise, said you pway games witty me! Pway now, Sonic!" She reached over and grabbed his arm, yanking him towards the mud. "Pway wots an' wots, f'wever ever!"
Sonic ripped his arm out of Amy's hand, held it close, and started hopping up and down, his eyes wide. "No no touchy me! I gettin' Amy cooties! Icky yuck!" he yelled dramatically. Then he fell to the ground while his leg twitched.
In spite of himself Tails laughed. If there had been any doubt before it was gone now. This, though younger, was definitely Sonic and Amy.
Which brought a question: Now what?
