Chapter Two

"Kitties, Mice, and Raccoons, Oh My!"

"Okay.. What just happened?" Tizaria slowly sat up, looking around. "Ah! Giant cat with clothes!" She got up and tried to run, but fell down. "What the-!?" Sapphire stared at the sky blue mouse running away from her. Tizaria looked behind her to see a mouse tail in the air and a lime-green cat staring at her.

"Ah!" Ayla shot up and tried to run away, but she, too, fell down.

"What's going on here!?" She looked at her own hands to see lavender gloves instead of her own hands, or even the hands of her Amy Rose costume.

"Huh?" She turned around to see two light-brown raccoon taisl with three black stripes each.

"Ayla?" Sapphire looked at the raccoon.

"Tizzi?" The raccoon stared at the mouse.

"Sapphire?" The mouse looked back at the cat, creating a triangle of confused animal faces.

The three slowly stood up and noticed a shining gem on the ground next to them. "The Emeralds!" Sapphire picked the green one up. "Do you think-?" Ayla looked at her pink gem. "Are these real?" Tizaria examined the shine on her own, which seemed more realistic then it did before.

"Are you three alright?" A young fox with two tails came running over to the girls. "Tails!?" Ayla blurted without thinking. "Yea- How'd you know my name?" The fox asked her. "Oh, uh.." She looked at Tizaria for help.

"You're famous!" Tizzi explained. "All those cool things you make, and how you help out Sonic all the time.. Everyone knows who you are!" She smiled nervously.

"Oh.. Uh, okay." Tails shrugged. "So, what happened? I heard screaming from the end of the forest and I-" He didn't get to finish.

"The Soleanna Forest!?" Ayla asked excitedly. "Yeah. It's right over there." Tails motioned to a cluster of trees behind him that made up the edge of the forest. She turned to her friends, a strange expression on her face.

"Hey Tails!" A familliar voice called from the forest. "Sonic! I'm over here!" Tails called back into trees. A blue blur came rushing out of the forest and stopped right in front of the girls, next to Tails. "Hey. I guess this is where all that screaming came from?" Sonic smiled, looking at the humans-turned-animal.

"Yea. It looks like everything's okay, though." The two-tailed Fox explained. "Yea, we're fine." Sapphire smiled the best she could without looking completely freaked-out by the fact that they were animals and that one of the most famous video game characters and 'Fastest Thing Alive' was standing right in front of them.

"You don't look fine." Sonic smiled. "You look like you're staring at a ghost." The girls looked around nervously at eachother.

"Uh.. We're just.. Amazed." Tizaria finally spoke up. "Yea! To uh, see someone as famous of you!" Ayla nodded, trying not to jump up and ask Sonic if he likes Amy Rose or if he still remembers the stuff that happened in his last game.

"Uh, we should be getting back to the lake now." Tizaria nodded to the others to follow her. "Come on, let's go." She looked down at her new white and blue sneakers and wondered how she was going to walk with mouse-feet. She was surprised when she could actually run pretty fast.

"Okay." Sapphire nodded and stood up, examing her new olive-green dress. She started to walk and found it hard to not run. 'Wow..' She thought. 'I guess cat-feet are pretty fast.'

Ayla stood up as well, running after the two. "Well they were wierd." Sonic said, watching the three run away. "Yes, highly unusual."

"You know what Tails? So are you." Sonic laughed and ran in the opposite direction, knowing that his two-tailed fox friend was unable to catch up with him.
