Chapter 1

It was a beautiful night on Mobius. The stars shone bright in the night sky as smoke from a campfire swirled into the heavens. The campfire was in a sandy clearing surrounded by trees. Sitting around the fire was Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails the Fox, and Knuckles the Echidna. "Ahh, now isn't this great? Nothing but the great outdoors and us guys! Aren't you glad you're here instead of sitting up in those musty old ruins, Knux?" said Sonic as he settled into a cozy position.

"First of all, Sonic, call me that again and I'm going to rearrange your face. Second of all, I like to sit up in those 'musty old ruins'. However, so far, this camping trip has turned out to be kinda fun. By the way, thank you Tails for installing that high-tech security system to protect the Master Emerald while I'm away." replied Knuckles with an angry glare at Sonic.

"No problem!" said Tails with a smile, "Now you can take some vacation time now and then."

"Yeah and work on your anger management skills while you're at it! Ha Ha Ha!" chuckled Sonic as he bit into a fresh chili-dog. Knuckles' eye began to twitch as he resisted the urge to shove the chili-dog down Sonic's throat.

"Ahem! Why don't we tell scary stories or something?" suggested Knuckles.

"I have one." said Tails eagerly.

"Fine by me.", said Sonic as he grabbed another chili-dog, "Just don't make it too scary Tails. We don't want Knuckles to wet him-self." Sonic snickered as he took a bite of his chili-dog.

A vein pulsed in Knuckles' forehead as he growled through gritted teeth, "Just tell the darn story."

Tails cleared his throat and began his tale in a low voice, "This story is about a horrifying creature that roams these very woods." Sonic and Knuckles leaned in to hear. "It travels swiftly and silently through the treetops. When it spots prey, it leaps from the branches with a screech!" At that moment Sonic and Knuckles both jumped. While the two calmed down, they glared at Tails who was rolling on the ground laughing.

Frowning, Knuckles shouted, "Tails, that wasn't funny!"

Tails sat up, still laughing, and said, "You guys should have seen your faces!"

Sonic crossed his arms with a rasied eyebrow, "Well, I'll admit it, you got us good Tails."

"I learned from the best." chuckled Tails as he scratched his ear.

"Grrrr... Whatever, I wasn't scared." said Knuckles as he turned his flushed muzzle away.

Sonic scoffed and said, "HA! Come off it Knux! We all know you were scared!"

Knuckles shouted, "So help me Sonic if you call me that one more time, I'm gonna-" At that moment there was a loud snap at the other end of the clearing. A high-pitched scream sounded and was quickly followed by a thud. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles stood looking at where the thud had been. They looked at each other and began to slowly go to the spot.

There was a pile of branches concealing something. Looking up they could see several broken limbs in the tree. "What is it?" asked Knuckles.

"I don't know. Its covered with the branches" replied Tails. Sonic carefully lifted one of the branches with his shoe revealing the face of a raccoon. The three let out a gasp and immediately moved the rest. The raccoon was a female. She had large black tipped ears and her pretty face bore the trademark of her species, as did her long plush tail. She had blue-gray fur and long red hair that was swept back into a ponytail with long bangs covering her forehead and the tops of her eyes.

The female had on a light green v-cut sleeveless shirt with dark green trim. Her lower half donned a matching mini-skirt and underneath, skintight blue jeans that stopped above her knees. On her feet were light green boots with dark green bottoms that stopped just under her knees. In addition, around her neck, she had a crystal locket hanging by a silver chain.

Sonic knelt next to her, "Hey, are you OK?"

"She must be unconscious from her fall." said Tails. The female began to come to.

Seeing unfamiliar faces all around her, the female jumped up and said, "Who are you?"

"Whoa, cool your jets." said Sonic recognizing the fear in the female's wide, almost childish, teal eyes, "My name is Sonic the Hedgehog. These are my friends"

"Tails the Fox, nice to meet you."

"Knuckles the Echidna."

The female now seemed to relax a bit. "I'm Mikysara."

"A pleasure." said Sonic, "Are you from around here?"

"Depends where 'here' is. I'm completely lost and I'm not exactly sure how I got here." said Mikysara looking around.

"Well it sounds like you have quite a story to tell. Let's all have a seat." said Tails gesturing to the logs that were positioned around the campfire.

"That's the thing." said Mikysara after they had settled in, "If there is a story behind how I got here, I certainly don't remember it."

"WHAT?!" the guys said at once.

"What do you mean you can't remember?" asked Knuckles.

"I just don't. The only thing I can remember is my name. That and the last 30 minutes since I woke up." said Mikysara with a shrug.

"Wait that was 5 minutes ago." said Tails looking at his wrist device.

"No it was longer than that."

"Alright I think we need to take a step back. Mikysara, tell us the earliest thing you can remember." said Sonic.

"I remember waking up in the middle of this forest. My head really hurt and I didn't know where I was. So I climbed a tree to try and get my bearings, but nothing looked familiar. As I came back down I heard voices so I traveled by the tree branches to the edge of this clearing. I was leaning in listening to your story, Tails, and honestly, it made me really nervous. So when an owl hooted somewhere behind me, it scared me, and I ended up accidentally falling out of the tree. Next thing I know, I'm surrounded by unfamiliar voices and faces. That's why I reacted the way I did."

"So that's it?" inquired Knuckles.

"Yep. I've tried remembering earlier than that but there's nothing there. It's just blackness." replied Mikysara.

"So that's all you can remember? Your name and waking up in a strange place with a headache?" asked Knuckles.

Mikysara nodded. Tails turned to Sonic and whispered, "Does Mikysara remind you of anybody in particular, Sonic?"

Sonic gave the slightest off nods and whispered back, "Do you think they have some sort of connection?"

"It's a possibility, but who knows?"

"Hmm..." Sonic turned to Mikysara and said in a normal tone, "Why don't you stay with us a bit until you can sort this mess out and get your memory back?"

Mikysara looked surprised, "Really? You would just in invite me in and you don't even know me? Heck, I don't even know me!"

"Sure, why not? You seem like a nice person to me." said Sonic with a wink and a thumbs-up.

Mikysara blushed slightly at the compliment, "Thanks". For the rest of the night the four told scary stories, talked, laughed, and all together had a great time. With her bubbly, and excitable personality, Mikysara clicked perfectly into the group. She felt that while she tried to remember her past, her present would be something she shan't soon forget...

Author's Note: This is my unofficial continuation of the Sonic Timeline. Its supposed to take place after Sonic and co.'s most recent escapade but since they continue to put out new games, it makes it a little hard to pinpoint when exactly. But I can tell you this, it is most certainly after Season 3 of Sonic X (I count Seasons 1 & 2 as Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, which is what they are lol). Oh hell, for all intents and purposes, lets just say its after Sonic Gen. Till they put out another game that is. Anyways I hope you like it. Please read, review, and most of all, enjoy! :D
