A/N For those people who recently read my first try in this chapter I'm terribly sorry that I screwed the pooch, but I manage to fix my grammar. I wasn't really 100% awake. Again I'm sorry and I hope this fix the problem and hope this won't happen again.

Chapter 3: Going Shopping

Amy and I headed out to the mall to buy me some clothes. It took us about ten minutes to walk from here to the mall. Strangely I'm walking with a rose haired girl who is going to help me to get some clothes; it feels weird when you barely know this person.

When we get close to the mall, I immediately stop Amy before we step foot into the entrance.

"Whoa whoa whoa, I'm not going in there like this."

"Well what are we going to do about it? You can deal with it, right? She questioned me.

"I'm not stepping another foot Amy, unless you can find a way inside without anyone noticing me."

Amy sighs at me and points to the tree at my right. "Fine, just wait over there by that tree. I'll think of something."

I walked to the tree just as Amy told me and now I'm just sitting down waiting for her to save me from embarrassing myself. I look up to the sky seeing the clouds floating by. I still can't believe that I'm in another world; this has to be a dream that I can't wake up, but…did my uncle know this would happen or just a malfunction? But if he knew about it, he might have left something like a tracker or some sort…no, he couldn't have known the result.

'Am I really stuck here? My boring summer into a bizarre place where animals are like me back on earth?'

As I waited, Amy starts searching a way into the mall but I refused her plans to get me inside. As she walks around the mall she thinks how did I ever get here?

'I wonder how he got to our planet. He might have been somewhere else, but where? I should probably ask him once I finish helping him getting inside. I only agreed to him, because I don't want him following me and people thinking that he's stalking me like a pervert.'

But then, she suddenly finds a large duffle bag large enough to carry a size of a person's body.

"Hmm, this gives me an idea."

She brings out an evil grin to her face. She grabs the bag and walks her way back to the tree where she wanted me to wait. I see her walking by with that duffle bag. I'm feeling confused about why she's bringing a duffle bag; instead I thought she would show me an air vent to one of the clothing shops or at least give me a jacket instead of a blanket. So I ask her what she's planning.

"Amy, do you have a plan to get me inside the mall?"

"Mm-hmm" She tossed the duffle bag to me.

"Get in."

"What?"

"I said get in. You want to get in the mall without anyone seeing you naked? Well this is your chance."

"No, no-I'm not getting in the bag beside this won't hold a person."

She's starting to get a bit angry. She's just helping a friend who is now picky of saving his embarrassment. She told me one more time.

"Get in!" She yelled.

"…No!" i turned my head to the opposite direction.

She glares at me for a couple a seconds and she's starting to calm down.

"Ok. You don't have to get in? That's fine."

"Good. Go-good to hear it."

"Instead…"

"Wait what are you doi-"

Amy grabbed and forced me into the bag and god the bag reeks, whoever it belongs to, is that this guy might have been working out for hours until his muscle rips himself apart. I'm starting to struggle out of the bag like a dog refusing a bath, but now Amy starts kicking me to the bag.

"Why are kicking me!?"

"You won't stay still! So just get in the bag!"

"Oh god there's a wet towel! Dear god it's sticky! I felt it upon my hand and it won't come off, at that moment I was going to puke from the smell, but i manage to stopped it before it could get worse.

"Well, then it's your own fault!"

She gave me one last kick and I finally went into the bag. I curled into a ball, and she zipped the bag close. The smell is like sweating crap; I bet this haven't been clean for weeks, maybe a month.

"So how is it Ivan?"

"This SUCKS! Get me out of here!"

"Quit squirming! Just hold still and you'll make it."

Amy picks up the bag and can barely carry me to the entrance. Amy struggles her way to the mall, feeling like she's carrying a heavy object. About six minutes, Amy manages to carry me to the clothing shop. She then drops the bag and I pop out like I'm a jack in the box, with little breath.

"HUUUFFF! Huff huff huff finally! I'm free!"

"Jeez your heavy, what have you been eating Ivan?"

"Doesn't matter. What only matters that I made it. Now where can get some cloths?"

"Over there- oh and here, you need this to buy your cloths."

"Huh? Rings?"

"This is what we use to buy. Once you get what you're looking for, meet me in the food court. Just head left and then straight, you can't miss it."

"Alright, see you there."

Amy hands me a jar with floating rings. It says that the jar is carrying 500 rings. I'm surprise it has no weight into it. 500 rings, I mean wow, carrying this much can break your back, glad this thing keeps my back safe. I went to the pants sections and I see some selections of jeans, shorts, ripped pants and other kinds. I'm just standing here almost naked, making a choice for a pair of pants.

'What will I pick? Skinny jeans? Nah too tight. Ripped jeans? No.'

"Hmmm…I'll choose…this one."

I chose the casual jeans, it fits well and comfortable. Now I went to the shirt sections and I already decide what I want to wear and that is a blue stripe T-shirt. I went ahead and grab myself some socks, and went to find some shoes. I see a lot of kinds of shoes. They look like Nike, Jays, and even sketchers. I look for the shoes that I would like and I found a DC shoe with a blue and white color mix.

"Oh, I might look good in these. Okay, now where is the dressing room?"

I got what I need to be fully dressed. I ask one of the employees of where is the dressing room; He pointed to the rooms that there in the back, I thanked him and went inside to try out the cloths. I see a mirror and went a little closer to check myself in this hedgehog form. I look at my ears and kind of mess around with it, just to make sure there real.

'I can't believe I'm a hedgehog. Well at least I'm alive'

I start putting on my pants and it fits perfectly, a simple size 28. Next is my shirt, no surprise there; It fits me as well, then I continue getting dress. I come out of the door and look at the mirror and I really like my style, just plain casual. Oh and you may be wondering what i did to Amy's boots, well lets just say I left her boots in the bag. That's for kicking me into the bag.

"Hmm...like the looks. Alright 'Time to find Amy. I think I need to find her somewhere in the food court, Ok turn left then straight ahead.'

I went ahead to the food court, but while I'm walking I'm starting to feel like I'm just walking casually, the same way i did back on earth. I look around and seeing people shopping, hanging out or just walking. I found the food court and man the smell is all over the place, they smell delicious.

*Smell* "Whoa, that smell- *Gulp* so hungry. I hope I can get a bite, but I better find Amy first, then I'll eat"

I look all over and I can't seem to find her; either there is a second food court or that Amy ditched me. Until I hear a familiar voice from behind.

"Ivan."

"Huh? Hey Amy- whoa! What did you buy?!"

I found her holding six shopping bags from different shops. I guess even when I'm in Mobius, the girls have their egos of buying a bunch of cloths when they're shopping.

"Oh, I found these really nice cloths. Heh heh, I'm sorry I couldn't pick one, so I bought them all. I hope you got what you need."

"Yeah, I got what I need. And I'm hungry, do want to grab a bite?

"Sure, how much do you have to spare?

"Let me check." I grab the jar and it says 500 rings. Wait-that can't be right?

"500 rings?"

"Umm...Ivan did you buy your clothes?"

"You don't think anyone would notice that I accidentally stole these cloths, right?"

Then I hear a siren going off across the hallway. I turn and see a robot cop coming towards me. I got a bad feeling about it, I mean I never been stopped by a cop before.

"Hold it right there! You have stolen multiple properties from the mall. You have two choices. Either you pay your cost of the stolen items or you're under arrest. Make your choice."

I was frozen and I couldn't say a word, if I don't answer I'm going to jail. Until Amy step in and help me.

"I'll pay him." I snapped out of my fear and turned to Amy.

"What!? Amy-you don't have to do this." The robot turns to Amy, willing to listens her offer.

"Very well miss. Here is the amount the thief owes"

"Thief?" I glare to that robot calling me a thief. I'm not a thief.

The amount I owe is 165 rings. Amy hands the jar to the Robocop and I see the rings flowing to the next jar into the robot. Then the light turns greens. I guessed that means I'm good.

"Thank you ma'am, please enjoy you time at the mall. Have a nice day."

"Thanks." The robot returns patrolling the mall making sure the mall is safe.

I sigh for relief, and I'm a bit surprised that Amy helped me. Amy turns to me and I starting to feel this is the moment that I have to repay her for helping, but instead…

"Alright let's go home, I'm feeling hungry." She calmly said.

"So…what are we going to eat?"

"Oh um…hmm…I can cook some pies."

I become surprise that she can cook, I thought she have parents with her, but it seems that house where I woke up, seems to be her own house. I agreed to her that I would like some pie, but only a little; I can't eat a lot of pie, because I get stomachache easily when it comes to eating pies."

As we walk our way home, Amy have been asking me questions about where was I from before I end up here. I told her that I'm at planet Earth and my uncle used me as his fusion experiment on me turning me into a human cross made hedgehog and somehow it worked, but I don't know how it took me here.

"And that's how I got here, I guess.

"That's horrible. I can't believe he used you for his experiment."

"Yeah, but when I get back. I got some questions that need answers, right after I give him a beating."

"You could say that. The only problem is how are you going to get back to Earth; it has to be light years away."

"Well…um…" I have no idea of how am I going home at this rate. Even If I spent my entire life of going home, my return is inevitable. My ideas always backfired.

"Yeah I didn't think so, but Ivan, can you help me?"

"Um-yes."

"While I'm about to cook some pie, I need you to get me some ingredients."

"Like what?"

"You can go north from my house. There are trees carrying fresh fruits, you can pick which ingredients you want like apples, blueberry, whatever you can find."

"Ok Amy, I'll head there right now." And just before I dash to the woods Amy stopped me.

"Hold on! You should take this bag along the way, come back when the bag is full." She gives me the bag and I started to walk into the woods.

"Got it Amy, I'll be back."

I head into the woods to grab some ingredients; I wonder what fruits should I get?
