Another corny love story that I wrote. And I feel like I should say this: please no flaming this or any of my other stories. I know that my stories aren't that good, but that doesn't mean go and point out the flaws and make me feel sad. And I wrote most of these stories several years ago, so of course they aren't going to be any good.

With that said, on with the story.

I walk outside with tears in my eyes. I've been crying ever since my mom told me she hated me. Well, she didn't exactly say that, but she made it sound like it. Its 8 p.m. I have my backpack on my back. I walk out into the street. That's when I notice that the sky is very dark and cloudy. I walk out towards the woods. I then get a text from my best friend, Dalton. I ignore it. I don't want to talk to him right now. I don't want him to know. I don't want anybody to know. I enter the woods just as I hear thunder. I then see something shine in some overgrown brush. I go up to it and see that it looks like a blue gem. I pick it up and then realize that its a Chaos Emerald. I begin to examine it.

Then, I hear a siren. I freeze as I realize what it meant. Shit! A tornado. That's not good. I need to find a place to take cover. I see a cave. Perfect. I run in and go as far back as in the cave as I can. I wrap my arms around my legs and start to cry a little harder. I hate today! Not only do I find out that my family hates me, but I end up stuck in a storm with nowhere to go. I'm definitely not going back home. Not with bunch of haters living there. I can't go to any of my friends house. They'd just send me back home. Well, maybe Yeni(pronounced Jenny... don't ask why its that way)and Luz's family won't, but I can't do that to their family. They're very poor and I don't want them to have to pay for me. What am I gonna do? I close my eyes as I yawn. I end up falling asleep just as it begins to hail.

I wake up when the sun shines on my face. I open my eyes slowly and shield my eyes. I look at my lap and see the Chaos Emerald. I look around and see that I'm in a forest.

Wait! A forest! Wasn't I in a cave last night? I jump up and look around. This doesn't look anything like the woods I was in before the storm last night either! And nothing looks wet or destroyed... well, a tornado's never touchdown in town before and I doubt it did last night. But... nothing looks wet. Where am I? I look at my arm and see fur. Fur? What the hell? I see a lake nearby and run up to it. Instead of seeing a human girl, I see a blue hedgehog with gold colored highlights and purple markings on my arms, legs, and stomach. My eyes are still hazel green, but they kinda have a purple tint to them.I'm still wearing the same outfit that I was wearing last night, which is a blue tank top that shows off my stomach and jean short shorts. I'm still wearing glasses. I'm still wearing my favorite pair of tennis shoes. My bangs were still in front of my right eye. I lift them up and see that I still have my scar.

I gasp at my reflection. Oh my God! I'm a hedgehog! My eyes were wide. I look at the emerald. Did you bring me here while I was sleeping? I sigh and start to wander around aimlessly. I've got nowhere to go... and I defiantly can't go home now.

Its starting to get very hot. I'm panting and I feel like I'm gonna pass out. Then, I hear something. I stop dead in my tracks. I close my eyes and listen. It sounds kinda like a bunch of robots flying. I open my eyes just as I see a bunch of robots land in front of me and surround me. I gasp and I hear familiar laughter. I turn around and see Eggman in his floating chair thing.

"Hohoho." I start to back away. "I've been looking for you, Melissa."

How the hell does he know my name?

"I want you to join my empire." I was about to yell never when he adds "And if you don't, I will have no choice but to kill you." My eyes go wide. I begin to back away. "So, what'll it be?" Suddenly, a black blur appears out of nowhere and destroys all of the robots around me and lands between me and Egghead.

Then I recognize the black blur and my eyes go wide and heart begins to pound.

SHADOW! I scream in my head. He looks back at me then he looks at Eggman.

"Well, if it isn't Shadow."

"What are you up to now, Doctor?"

"Just world domination. Robots, attack!" Suddenly, a bunch of robots appear out of nowhere and come flying at us.

Shadow looks at me and says, "Stay back." I do as he says and take a couple of steps back. Shadow then begins to fight off the robots. After about 5 minutes, all of the robots are destroyed. Eggman has a stunned look on his face. He then retreats. Shadow walks up to me.

"You okay?" he asks. I nod. "Who are you."

"I'm Melissa, but please call me Missy."

"I am Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog." He then looks at my hands and sees the Chaos Emerald. "Where did you get that?"

I look at my hands. "Oh, this? I found it back on Earth."

"Earth?"

"Yeah. I'm supposed to be a human from the planet Earth."

"Then how the hell'd you get here?"

I shrug. "I found this last night, and then I took shelter in a cave from a tornado and ended up falling asleep... and I when I woke up I was here."

He nods. "Do you need a place to stay?"

"That would be nice."

"Then give me the Chaos Emerald." I nod and give it to him. He then grabs my hand and holds the emerald up in the air. "Chaos Control!" Then we were gone.
