Sonic was sitting next to Amy on her roof, explaining his strange dream to her. Amy grabbed Sonic's hand in hers. "Sonic that's...silly," she giggled to him.
"There was something just so...real about it, Amy."
"I think you just need a nap, Sonic," Amy giggled again.
Sonic leaned back, put his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes. "Maybe..." he murmured.
When he opened his eyes there were five people hovering over him. The three girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, he recalled. The man they had called 'Professor,' and a younger boy, whose lab coat almost touched the ground.
"He didn't change when hit with chemical z," the professor said. "That means he wasn't hit with the dark light or filled with dark particles. Which leaves a new question, is this something new? Something that can't be cured with chemical z?"
The young boy was turning away, typing some information into a computer. When he seemed satisfied with what he typed, he called, "PEACH!"
Peach? Why would he yell for a fruit? Sonic thought to himself.
A dog came running their way, "Peach, we need you to check him..." The boy said.
"Of course, da wan..." Peach ran over to Sonic and began to sniff him. "Nothing, da wan..."
So they can believe in a talking dog, but not a talking hedgehog? Sonic though curiously
Someone seemed to read Sonic's mind and said, "Well, maybe he's a robot, like Peach, desu." The blue girl said this, 'Bubbles.'
"I don't know, Miyako. He seems real, he even breathes. There's no way he can be a robot," the young boy rationalized.
Miyako? I could've sworn her name was Bubbles...
"I say we just leave him...I'm sure he won't have any problem surviving on his own," the green girl said loudly.
"Kaoru..." the red girl said warningly. "You know we can't do that."
Kaoru?
"Momoko's right, Kaoru. We need to figure what he is," the professor said as he turned to look at Sonic.
Momoko? Kaoru? Miyako? Blossom...Buttercup...Bubbles...What is going on?
"I think he's awake." The professor said.
Everyone turned to look at Sonic who stood up quickly. It was pure curiosity that kept him rooted at his spot.
"Kaoru...Do you mind transforming?" The Professor asked quietly.
Kaoru nodded and ran out of the room, Peach at her heels, as she screamed, "POWERED BUTTERCUP!"
"Miyako?"
Miyako nodded and stepped directly in front of Sonic. "Hello there, desu..."
Sonic nodded once, "Yo."
"Um...What's your name?"
"Sonic...And you're Bubbles?"
"Oh, no no no..." Miyako started.
"Miyako then, Bubbles looks exactly like you."
Buttercup came back in through the door and stood in front of it, as if she was guarding it."
"And...Kaoru," Sonic said as he glanced past Miyako.
Miyako looked over her shoulder. "No, that's Buttercup."
Sonic nodded his head at the red girl, "Blossom?"
"No..." Miyako shook her head. "Momoko."
Sonic slapped his hand to his forehead and shook his head. "What's going on here."
Miyako smiled softly. "Well, Sonic. You're partly right. Technically..." Miyako started to explain.
"Miyako..." the young boy started, "Are you sure about that?"
"Well, Ken, if he's going to be staying here, he'll eventually figure it out. It's better to tell him now to avoid all of the confusion." Momoko said, and everyone stared at her, surprised by her sudden burst of logic.
"Y-yes, yes of...of course," Ken stammered, shaking his head of everything he originally thought of Momoko.
"Besides," Momoko added, "It's almost dinnertime and we don't want to miss it." Everyone stared at her again. This was more like the Momoko they knew. "What?" She asked as she touched her face lightly with her fingertips as she became self-conscious.
"Nothing," Ken sighed. "Miyako, go on."
"Well, my name is Miyako, and I am a normal girl in Jr. High," she started. "One day, all of that was changed when I was hit by the white light of Chemical Z. Now I am filled with the white light and it allows me to transform into a superhero whose name is Bubbles. The same happens with Kaoru and Momoko. Kaoru turns into Buttercup and Momoko turns into Blossom. Easy enough to understand, right?"
Sonic was quiet for a few moments. "You people are insane..."
"No, it's...normal for us now. Now, tell us how you got to be like this."
"Got to...be...like this?" Sonic spoke slowly, trying to process what they were trying to say. "I was born like this..."
Buttercup laughed loudly from her spot leaning against the door, "That's not possible..."
"But being hit by a mysterious light and turning into a superhero is?" Sonic countered.
"Why you little..." Buttercup jumped from her spot.
"BUTTERCUP!" Everyone yelled.
Sonic opened his eyes and Amy was staring down at him. "Are you okay?" She asked her eyes wide.
Sonic sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I'm just starting to feel like Shadow..."
Amy giggled, "Tell me what happened?"
