"Sonic, are you feeling okay? It's strange to have two consecutive dreams that are connected to the same story...isn't it?" Amy asked nervously.

"I...don't know, but I feel like this isn't just a dream." Sonic admitted.

"But Sonic, I watched you while you were sleeping. You didn't go anywhere. You never left. It has to be just a dream." Amy tried to convince him.

"I know," Sonic thought aloud, "and the people in my dream. They seemed to watch me the whole time I was asleep also. They seemed to have carried me to a whole knew place. It's impossible..."

"Well, it kind of sounds like astral-projection if you believe in that kind of stuff..."

"Astral-Projection? Like being in two places at once? How would I go to some place that I've never seen before?" Sonic sighed and leaned back. "One thing's for sure. I feel like I'm getting no rest. I'm fully awake in both my dream and reality." He closed his eyes, "If only I could get some rest."

"Just try then...Empty your mind and don't think about it...Maybe that will work," she tried to sympathize.

"Mhmm...Maybe..." Sonic opened his eyes and sat up. He was in the room he was in before, but this time he was alone. "Dammit. "

"Hello, da wan!" Peach jumped onto the couch that Sonic was sitting on. "I hope you're okay, da wan!"

Sonic rubbed the back of his head, "I've felt better, that's for sure...Where did everyone go?"

"To make lunch, da wan. They wanted me to watch over you until you woke up, da wan. Then I'm suppose to bring you to the kitchen, da wan." Peach jumped off the couch and walked toward the door. "This way, da wan, and please don't try to leave, da wan. We are just trying to help you, da wan."

"I won't leave. Where would I go? Besides, that man and kid are scientists, right? Maybe they can explain to me what's going on..." Sonic yawned and rubbed the back of his head again.

"That's the spirit, da wan!"

Sonic stood up and followed Peach down the hallway from the lab to the kitchen. Everyone was sitting around the kitchen table laughing and talking. How can they be so relaxed with a 'monster' around them?, Sonic thought to himself. They were so worried about me earlier, I thought they'd be doing test or something.

"Everyone, da wan!"

Everyone looked up and smiled when they saw Peach and Sonic walk in, except Kaoru who looked a little bitter. The professor stood up and walked quickly over to Sonic. He grabbed his hand and shook it, "I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I'm Professor Utonium." The professor gestured behind him as Ken walked up. This is my son/assistant Ken. I'd introduce you to my wife, but she is currently doing work on the moon. Professor turned to Momoko and Miyako, "This is Momoko and Miyako, or, as you first met them, Blossom and Bubbles. They aren't transformed right now, so you should call them Momoko and Miyako. It would be a lot of help if you didn't get their names mixed up outside of this building. Society won't forgive you for that." The professor laughed.

He sighed when he looked over his shoulder and saw Kaoru glaring at the table with our arms crossed. "And she...is the reason you were unconscious for a few hours. This is Kaoru. She'll warm up to you sooner or later. She always does. Would you like something to eat?"

Sonic's stomach growled and Professor Utonium laughed, "I'll take that as a yes. We have pancakes, eggs, muffins, and...Well, just name it. We probably have it."

Sonic gave a weak smile, "I'll take some pancakes." He sat at the table and watched Professor Utonium as he dug for a pan to make the pancakes in.

"Any kind of particular pancakes you want?" The professor asked as he stood up.

"Blueberry..." Sonic gave a small smile. He needed to cooperate, these people could help him figure out what was going on. Or they'll kill him, but he could handle them if it came to that...He hoped. "So, can you guys tell me..."

"We'll talk about the abnormality after you have lunch," the professor interrupted him.

"Abnormality? Are you calling me the abnormality?" Sonic asked defensively.

"Well, you are like no monster we have ever encountered before. So yes, I think it would be correct to call you an abnormality." Ken spoke from behind Sonic.

"I am not a monster, but there is a certain abnormality I would like to speak to you about." Sonic said, enunciating the word sarcastically.

"Oh? Well, as I said, we'll talk after you eat. You look completely famished...And exhausted. Are you okay?"

"It all has to do with the abnormality I want to talk to you about." Sonic answered as the professor placed a large pile of pancakes in front of him. The smell of the pancakes caused Sonic's stomach to growl loudly.

Everyone gave a humorous laugh. "Go on, eat. We have plenty of time to talk later," the professor urged.

"At least until I fall asleep," Sonic mumbled to himself right before he took a bite of the mouth watering pancakes.

A.N.

Shorter than the other chapters, but I'm sure we all will live. I'd like to apologize right now for how OOC Sonic is in this story. I didn't plan him to be so OOC but that's just how it's coming out. And I'd also like to apologize for Amy and Sonic being waaaaaaaaaay to close, but I guess it's...idk...I really didn't mean it to be like that.
