Tails didn't open his eyes. He knew he was in a dream. He felt both the adrenaline and freedom of falling, yet also there was a tightness and constriction over his body. Such a feeling could only be found in a child's dream, right?

CRASH!!!

Evidently not.

Tails stood up, rubbing his head, and noticed that his ears were much bigger than before. As he walked, he stumbled due to his heels being somewhat raised, and an unfamiliar weight on his chest. "Oh, no..." he said aloud, and heard the seductive, feminine voice of Rouge the Bat escape his lips.

Tails looked down to confirm it, and sure enough, the purple body suit, matching boots and gloves, and other... "assets" confirmed his status as the sexy treasure huntress.

Okay, don't panic, thought Tails to himself. There's a perfectly logical explanation for this... we just need to find out what it is. Turning his head, the former kitsune saw a large door with the logo of the Eggman Empire on it. "Eggman." said Tails in his new voice. "I should of known he'd have something to do with this." He looked down at his new body.

"Okay, Tails, just remember what Amy taught you..." he muttered as he began to walk forward, carefully shifting his weight to avoid falling, and gaining a stride remarkably similar to Rouge's. He quickly calculated out the code for the door (Little junior hacker, that he is!), and entered.

Tails raised an eyebrow at the large pod inside, which gave of a interesting green glow. Inputing a code in the keyboard in front of it, he was able to turn on the power of the area, lighting up the room. However, in the shadows, something else awoke, and began to silently watch him...

Tails looked up from the keyboard, and saw to his surprise, that the pod contained the body of Shadow the Hedgehog. He opened his eyes, and staggered out, clutching his head woozily.

Tails rushed forward, placing one hand on Shadow's chest and the other on his back in an attempt to prevent him from falling.

"Hey, Shadow, you okay?" he asked. Shadow looked up, apparently fully awakened, and smiled at Tails.

"Well, if it isn't Rouge the Bat!" he said in an unnaturally cheerful voice, placing on hand on his hip girlishly. "Tell me, what dirty little deed are you up to this time?"

Tails sweatdropped anime style. "Um... Shadow, are you okay?"

"Shadow?" he asked, as if he never heard the name before. "What are you talking about? It's me, Amy! Remember? Amy Rose? Sonic's girlfriend?"

"...Shadow, what exactly happened in that pod?"

Before 'Shadow' could answer, a grating mechanical voice sounded from the corner of the room. "I-can-an-swer-that."

Both gender-bent animals turned to the source of the voice, and saw the clockwork behemoth know as Omega walking towards them.

"Good thing you're here, Omega. Shadow's been acting kinda weird..." began Tails, but Omega interrupted him.

"That's-not-Shadow. I-also-know-that-you're-not-Rouge."

The black and red hedgehog looked from Tails to Omega angrily. "Why do you two keep saying I'm Shadow!? I'm Amy!"

"Amy, hun, look-down-at-your-self." said Omega, and Amy obeyed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!! What happened to my beautiful body????" she screamed, before turning to glare at Tails and Omega. "You two did something to me, DIDN'T YOU!?!?"

"Amy, calm-down. Some-thing-happ-ened-that-caused-us-all-to-swap-bo-dies. It-may-look-like-it, but-this-is-not-Rouge." said E-123, pointing at the 18-year-old with the mind of an 8-year-old.

"What makes you so sure?" asked Tails, placing one hand on his hip and flicking his hair in an attempt to mimic his body's true owner.

"Be-cause-I'm-Rouge." Tails froze. He slowly turned his head.

"...You're Rouge?" he asked.

"Yes." said the mech. "I-am-indeed-Rouge, and-I-want-out-of-this-body!" Tails and Amy got the feeling that if it weren't for Omega's voice programming, Rouge would be sounding a lot angrier. "It-feels-like-I'm-wearing-a-suit-of-tin-cans! Let's-hur-ry-and-find-a-way-to-reverse-this!"

"Okay, but where do we start?" asked Amy, fidgeting uncomfortably. She felt so naked.

"There-is-a-beach-just-to-the-west. Who-ev-er-did-this-prob-ab-ly-went-that-way."

"Well, let's get going!" shouted Amy, swing her hand as wielding a weapon. She then looked glumly at her hand. "I miss my hammer..."
