Sonic Fanfic

CHAPTER ONE

((AUTHOR'S NOTE: THIS IS A GENDER BENT FANFIC AND THEREFORE THE SEXES OF ALL CHARACTERS ARE REVERSED. I HAVE KEPT THEIR NAMES THE SAME HOWEVER))

Sonic the GIRL Hedgehog was fast. She was really, really fast. She ran faster than birds could fly, faster than cars could roll and faster than the planes in the sky. Although no one had ever explained this mind-blowing speed, she understood that there was some kind of scientific explanation for it. She lived in a world that was mathematical, reasonable, and logical. Her best friend was a robot-building engineer named Tails. Sonic and Tails were the last people you would expect to be involved in something mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

That's why, when on girl Sonic's tenth birthday, they got a letter in the mail, Tails flipped out.

"Hogwarts Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Tails shouted. "That's ridiculous! There's no such thing as magic!" She wagged her fox-tails in anger.

Sonic read the letter aloud. The letter said:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmistress: ALBUS DUMBLEDORE

(Order of Merlin, First-Class Discordian, Alpha-Wizard, Kaos Magician Extraordinaire, Reiki Healer, Chief Blepblump Fugawup and PhD in Psychiatry)

Dear Ms. Sonic,

Have you ever noticed something strange in your life? Things happen that you can't quite explain? Powers that other hedgehogs don't possess? Well, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all the necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1. We await your arrival. Please do not be late. You're a wizard, Sonic.

Yours Sincerely,

Professor McGonagall.

Deputy Headmaster

Sonic felt uneasy. Magic stirred in her breast, magic deep and fast and wonderful, like the cries of a thousand wizardly cheetahs released from their silence. The camera zoomed in on her DNA and revealed like, a bunch of wheels spinning with wands and stars on themBlue and green sparkles lit up in the air around her. She felt her spiky hair stand on end.

"I don't know, Tails," she said. "What if it's true? You've never been able to explain why I'm so fast, either. And it sounds pretty radical."

"That doesn't mean there isn't a perfectly scientific explanation for it," Tails said. She crossed her arms. "Look, I don't want you caught up in something dangerous, that's all. Or worse: stupid!"

Sonic laughed condescendingly and winked. "I think I can handle it," she said. She gave a big thumbs up. Then she looked down at the letter again. "September first!" she cried. "But that's TODAY!"

"I guess they wanted to test how fast you really are," Tails said.

"I'm really fast," Sonic said. "I guess I better get going." She put on her bright red go-go boots, jumped out the window with a spin and started sprinting across the landscape. She picked up rings and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans as she ran and stored them in her inventory. 'Green Forest' from Sonic Adventure Battle 2 started playing, if you know that song.

"You're not going anywhere without me!" Tails said. She hopped in the Cyclone and activated her strongest jets. The two sped across the landscape, deep into the wilderness of northern Britain.
