Flame: Hey I'm just typing this up before I have to go to school, good thing it's late start day. **clears throat** Well, anyways go ahead and read the rewritten chapter 1 of Flame Beginnings.

**? POV**

A dimensional portal opened up in the sky and out of the portal a anthropomorphic hedgehog girl came falling out. If she was conscious she would most likely be screaming, but she wasn't conscious and she came crashing down into part of the forest, disturbing the wild animals away and making a large crater.

"Who is she?" I whispered to myself observing that she is wearing a torn white blouse, ripped pencil skirt, and ruined black high heels. I was obscured by shadows. I had come to see what the wild animals were so scared about, that and the fact that she ruined my nap.

No, not the girl in front of me but another girl.

My own personal stalker. "Oh, Shadow! Come here!" I heard her say, I know she is looking for me 'Shit... I need to get away' and on that thought I ran to my secret hiding place the even she hadn't found.

I sighed, careful to make sure that it was silent 'I will go back there when it is safe. Rouge will never be able to find me here.' I thought to myself.

**My POV**

I woke up to stinging pain and bit my lip to keep from crying out. I found my teeth are sharper than normal and I had cut my lip by biting to hard. I looked around me to see a crater in the ground of a forest I don't recognize "Shit..." I cussed. I was transported to another dimension successfully. I was worried because none of the inhabitants of this dimension had seen me yet and I wonder if I would look weird to them. I saw a stream nearby and I decided to do damage control on how I look. I don't want to freak anyone out.

I walked over to the stream and peered at my slightly blurry 'reflection'. The reason I say 'reflection' is because it didn't look anything like me. Black fading to amber colored quills, grey humanistic eyes, nice figure, and I was still wearing the same outfit as earlier though it was damaged. "Fuck!" I yelled angrily at the fact that now I was a hedgehog... It was like I was never human. I wondered how the locals would take my new appearance...

They would probably run screaming from me.

I sighed in frustration and began twirling one of my quills around my finger, it is a habit I have. I try not to do it but I can't stop doing it, I'm going to give my stepfather a talking to one of these days for getting me into this habit. Hey, at least it got me to stop picking my lips.

I think that was what he was going for.

I heard a bush rustle nearby and my ears perked up, it felt kind of weird for my ears to be able to do that. I turned around and glanced around me to try to see which one had made the rustling "Who's there?" I asked.

The rustling stopped then continued as a person stepped out of the bushes 'Is that-no, it couldn't be!' I thought as I saw the figure. However after observing the same smirk and the same ebony fur as my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog character I had to admit that what I see is indeed true. 'Fuck... The first person I just had to run into and it's him...' I thought in slight annoyance fighting back my fangirl side telling me to glomp him to death.

All of this happened within the space of two or three seconds.

I blinked in fake confusion as I remembered that I am now a mobian and I had to act like I had no idea what in the hell happened. Hmm...That thought just gave me an idea.

I put a hand to my forehead dramatically and shook my head like I am trying to clear it "What the-Who are you?" I asked masking the lie better than I thought I would.

The red streaked hedgehog chuckled "Who I am isn't of any concern right now. Who you are, now that I'd like to know." he said.

Perfect, he played just as I thought he would.

I blinked in fake confusion again "Who am I? I don't remember... The only thing that I can remember is my name..." I said making it seem like I was talking to myself.

Shadow's ears perked up "Sounds like a case of amnesia. The second one this week. Now would you mind telling me what your name is?" he asked trying to be courteous and failing to my lie detecting eyes.

I smiled my best smile, making sure it shined like newly polished glass "Flame Darkmoon!" I said making myself seem really friendly and slightly hyper. I'm going to go back to my old nature when he least expects it. It'll be really fun to see him jump.

The grumpy Shadow would seem like nothing more than a dream, if I hadn't been so good at lieing myself that I had automatically started detecting lies.

I watched him walk away and head some where, probably to get somebody and possibly bang his head on a tree and groan at how he had gotten someone completely incompetent.

Or so he thought...

'Oh, I am so evil' I thought to myself smirking at how he must feel awful that he had gotten this world's equivalent to a dumb blonde cheerleader.

Yep, I'm evil.

I went back to smiling seconds after my smirk and waited while Shadow did his thing. I looked around making sure it looked how I thought a dumb blonde cheerleader would act.

I went over to the pond and looked at my reflection again making sure I pouted as I glanced at myself "I look hideous!" I said whining and taking out my spare mirror (I always keep it on hand in case I need to look like I am a normal teenage girl) and attempting to smooth my ruffled hair and clothes.

I groaned in fake disgust at my dirt covered shoes "These were three hundred fricking dollars! How in the heck am I going to get new ones?!" I said in my fake agitation despite the fact I don't give a single shit that I look this way.

I heard a muffled laugh behind me and decided now to go back to being my true self "Whatever... Like I actually gave a shit anyways..." I said in my usual tone. I smirked "Did you know that was all an act? Most of it anyways. Well, whoever you are, I, in all actuality, am not like a dumb cheerleader. Unlike what you may think." I said and then turned around, there is the sonic gang, the entire one. Did they think I didn't hear any of the broken twigs?

Anyways, there they are gaping at me.

I smirked "What, haven't you seen a female before?" I asked batting my eye lashes and making sure it looked fake.

And all hell broke loose. Shadow glared at me "What in the fucking bloody hell? That was an act even I couldn't see through!" he said, his glare turning even more deadly by the end of his sentence.

I snickered "Your reaction is just as funny as I had thought it would be, Shads." I said making him confused at how I know his name and then fume at the nickname I had given him. And the next runner up is...Sonic.

Sonic snickered "You know, that was a funny reaction from Shadow. But seriously how do you know his name?" he asked.

Here is where it gets difficult.

My smirk fell as I carefully crafted a reply "I don't know, I was telling the truth when I said I had amnesia." I said frowning like I was frustrated that I couldn't remember anything.

Shadow sighed "I was hoping that was just an act too..." he muttered.

I smirked again "I heard that! You know, you really should work on being quieter." I said making Shadow roll his eyes at me.

Sonic looked back and forth between us, and smiled/smirked making me blink in confusion "You two are so much alike you guys could be twins!" he said.

Oh hell no. He didn't just do that.

My eye twitched and I could feel Shadow fuming behind me as well "No way in bloody hell is that possible!" I said and then continued to yell at Sonic for his insolence.

**3rd person POV**

The other Sonic group members just sweat-dropped and watched as this new hedgehog -Flame was it?- yelled at Sonic "-AND THAT IS WHY I COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE THAT ASSHOLE'S TWIN!" she finished after ranting at him for what seemed like an hour.

Tails facepalmed "Guys, we're right here! How did you not notice us! Seriously..." he said in exasperation.

Flame, Shadow, and Sonic looked over at the group and just stared blankly at them "Oh, when did you get here?" Sonic asked.

All of the group facefaulted.

To be continued...
