Author's Disclaimer: I'm sorry that it has been a while. I am proud of this story but a little sad that is it not as popular as my others. It's not that I think I'm an amazing writer but you who do read and review give me the strength to continue writing. I will continue this story from beginning till the end, and the end is coming soon sadly. I think Chapter 5 will be the end, but if I can think of anything else then there might be a Chapter 6 but I don't know. Leave suggestions in a review and I WILL see it, trust me. Anyway, you've all waited long enough so please enjoy and review. I am proud to be writing the first Sonic transgender fanfiction...man I have no life.
(Sonic's POV)
I was in my bed with an ice pack in between my legs. At first it was cold and uncomfortably, then warm, and now numb. I take it off every now and then to make sure I don't lose feeling. In an upright position in my bed I was saddened by the memory of what happened with Ames.
-Flashback-
Amy, as I expected, was fueled with frustration and the process of calming her down and seeing if we'd ever be the same became more and more difficult the more I tried to explain.
"So all this time everyone knew but me? Why Sonic, why lie to me?"
"Exactly what did I lie about, Ames? Nothing! I'm still the same old Sonic."
"You were never the same old Sonic, you were a totally different Sonic! A Sonic with a vagina. Does this make me a lesbian? Do you like guys, is that why you never-"
"Amy, stop it. I'm a guy."
"Can you get pregnant?"
"Amy-" My cheeks flared red.
"Can you get pregnant?"
"..." If I had answered her I would have surely cried, or either throw up. At this moment I could do both.
"If you could, could you have sex using no assistance or equipment?"
"Amy, come on." It was like with Shadow all over again.
"Answer me." She was serious and her eyes...if looks could kill.
"I don't have to answer that, I'm a guy Amy. I'm-"
"A sick liar that needs help. You're not a guy if you can get pregnant. No wonder you never seemed interested in me. No wonder Sally-"
SMACK!
Tears fell from Amy's eyes. Her eyes dilated, scared and surprised by the slap. I-I didn't mean to, it's just that I was getting so frustrated, angry, sad, and when she said her name I just raised my hand and…
"A-Amy, I'm sorry. It's just you won't hear me out. Do you think this easy for me?" I felt myself tearing up as well but I held it back as much as I could. My heart pounded fast in pain.
"You're a man, huh?"
And that's when she kicked me in the crotch and ran off, crying.
-End of Flashback-
I've had my share of crotch hits but that one really took the cake. I sighed as I took the ice pack off and stood up. A run should do me some good.
(Amy's POV)
I ran to Vanilla's house after that emotional argument with Sonic and poured my heart out to Cream's mom who was also a mother a me. She rubbed my back as I cried into her lap. Cream was away, visiting the Chao Gardens with Cheese. I finally sat on the couch with her, blowing my nose with the tissues she had provided.
"I'd known for a long time, even before it was told to everyone." Vanilla said, looking forward, smiling,
I looked up at her blinking. "How?"
"Oh, when you get old like me you see things and then you just know. However Sonic seemed to know himself, so I kept quiet. He wasn't a bad influence to anyone, so why should I step into where my nose doesn't belong." She looked me, cheery, not mad at all.
I frowned. "You could've told me! All this time I was drooling over Sonic when really I was drooling over...over a!-"
"A what?" Vanilla stood, towering me, as if in a protective stance. Am I the only one seeing the hideous truth of Sonic and his mischievous ways?
"A girl!"
"Sonic isn't a girl Miss Amy."
"Yes he is! He has the same parts as you and me."
"But does that make him what he is-"
"What she is!"
Vanilla frowned at me, she sighed, then she looked at me again. "I was like you Amy. Scared, confused, not knowing that this sort of thing existed so close."
I looked to her confused as she went into the other room, and I rubbed my eyes from frustration and exhaustion. I was still in my date outfit. She came back with a frame, dusting it off. I sat back as she took her place back beside me on the couch. Vanilla leaned the picture to me and I couldn't believe it, it was Mr. Rabbit: Vanilla's husband and Cream's dad.
"That was my husband, his name was Spice and was the best man I've ever dated."
As I took the photo away from her I saw how young and in love she was, a lot like how I used to look at Sonic.
"What happened to, Spice?" That is when I realized Vanilla was smiling, but with tears falling from her face. She sighed, rubbing her tears away the best she could but they kept falling.
"Spice was like Sonic. Handsome, nice, kind to women and men alike, and would be there for me day in and day out...nothing he could ever do would change how I felt about him until...until I found out the truth."
I stayed silent, our stories aligned like a constellation.
"I found out when I walked in on him changing out of a shirt. His chest was wrapped in medical tape, but his face was still handsome. I was so confused and in shock that I struck angrily at him. He tried to explain but I wouldn't listen. We broke up that day, and I told him I never wanted to see him again…we were together for two years."
I blinked confused. "But Sonic's chest has been flat for as long as I can remember, why didn't Spice-"
"People weren't as accepting of men like Spice and Sonic back then, honey. Even if Spice really wanted to those kind of surgeries or hormones would be dangerous to take a risk on." She sighed.
"If Spice was...then how did you have Cream?"
"A sperm donor. I'm not proud of it, but I'm happy the girl Cream is, and that is all that matters to me."
I nodded, understanding and not judging at all. "But I wish I didn't say those horrible things to him. All he wanted was to be with me." Vanilla sniffed and continued to silently sob.
I shook my head, hugging her. "He lied to you Vanilla, he knew you didn't mean those things. You're not a bad person at all. Besides, if you've felt this bad about it, why not contact him? I'm sure he..."
Vanilla looked to her palm, her eyes were soulless for a moment, and dead with sadness, that's when I knew, she couldn't contact him and say sorry. She couldn't ever take back those things she said.
"If there is one thing I could get through to you honey, is that you be careful what you say, because you can not always take it back. No matter how much you want to. Sadly...Sadly, Spice died from getting bad surgery from a doctor for his chest. He-"
She bursted into tears, not being able to say anymore, and I couldn't blame her. From the sound of it, Vanilla and Spice were together till the end, that is until the truth was out. Did Spice not say anything to trick Vanilla, or because he knew that if she knew in the first place that'd she never had given him a chance in the first place.
There was nothing but sobbing and gruesome remembrance for the next half hour I think. Vanilla finally rose from my chest and was calm.
"Just think about it Miss Amy, we didn't know the truth until we were told about their anatomy. Doesn't that make them men, ignoring what they have between their legs? I wish I had the opportunity you have right now to go back and fix, but sadly, sometimes it's an old person's job to tell the young of their mistakes to make sure it isn't repeated." She gave me her warmest smile that I gladly beamed back at her. I indeed didn't want Sonic to die on the surgery table, and Sonic really was my knight in shining armor even though he...she was harboring a secret. Was this really who she was? If so, how do I feel about it?
"I'll go back to Sonic but…I need-"
"Time, understandable Miss Amy."
"I'm sorry if this is over the line, but does Cream ever…"
"Ask about her father? Yes, I honestly don't know when it is the right time to tell her. Will she accept it?"
"As long as she knows she still comes from you, I think she'll be fine." I smiled. Cream was in her teens now, and was indeed old enough to know the history that had dampered her mother so much.
As if a cue, Cream came in with Cheese wearing shorts and a tank top with sandals. Both her and Cheese were carrying an arms full of fruit that was given to them by the Choas.
"Mother? Are you here?"
"Yes dear." Vanilla stood up, following her daughter to the kitchen where fruit lay on the counter.
"I was wondering if we could- Miss Amy!" Cream ran up to me and hugged me tight, and I gladly gave her a tighter one back.
…
I didn't stay at Miss Vanilla's for long, I felt that me being there would only remind her of what she told me, and spending time with her daughter would be the right thing for her right now. I sighed as I walked home slowly but I didn't feel like going there.
Sonic's POV
I found some robots here and there in my path and easily spin dashed through them. I watched as the happy little critters hopped or ran away. When I had stopped running I saw my favorite tree. I climbed it and laid on the branch. My tear ducks swelled but I didn't cry, it wouldn't change how people may feel about me now, now that they know the truth. I couldn't believe that Eggman found out so quickly. My eyes were closed so my ears twitched to the sound of propellers: Tails. I opened one eye and saw him about a foot away.
"How did you find me?"
"I've known you all my life, I pretty much predicted it." He smiled.
I tried to do the same but I soon frowned. "I'm worried little buddy, I just needed some 'go away' time like I always do."
Tails was quiet for a moment, then looked down, and finally looked at me. "Should I go?"
"You don't have too." I really didn't mind, it would probably get my mind off things.
Tails laid on another branch that was opposite of me, so I couldn't see him from where I was laying. We looked up at the sky, well I was, and we talked about the past. I know it's not like me to talk about the past, or to even think about the present but for me I just wish I could go back in rime, and be faster, ended Eggman's sentence quicker, that Tails...no, I shouldn't blame him.
"I'm sorry…"
"Huh?" I was snapped out of my thoughts. He was talking about his favorite times with the Freedom Fighters and how it was sad when Robotnik was killed.
"I'm sorry that I wasn't fast enough, destroying the satellite."
I sighed and closed my eyes. "It's ok, Tails."
"But it's not."
"Yes it is. I blame myself because I wasn't fast enough...and Tails, I want you to do the surgery as fast as you can. I need it before I'm questioned."
I could feel Tails shift because the tree groaned a little. "But Sonic-"
"No buts, I need this."
"I know Sonic, I want this for you too, but this is a very serious surgery that you can die from."
"..." I wanted to tell him that I'd rather die than be in this girl body for any longer, but I didn't. I wasn't selfish, but imagine an entirety of people knowing that you used to and still wet the bed. Wouldn't that make you die a little inside with embarrassment? That's how I feel right now. It's bad enough that my closest friends know, which means I haven't been passing at all.
"It's not true, ya know."
I turned to Tails. "What's not true?" I raised an eyebrow.
"You are a guy, Sonic. Don't ever question that. Even if you have the surgery sooner than later, a wiener doesn't dictate what you are."
I wanted to laugh, hearing Tails say 'weiner', but I was mostly puzzled. "How did you know what I was thinking?"
"Again Sonic, I've known you forever. I can read your mind."
I blushed, but not for what you think. I looked down between my legs, the part that I made sure was covered with fur. To me having a dick was my dream. I was so close to having one and once I did, then what? Would anything change? Of course it would, but would the people around me change? Will they still see me as a girl?
"I'll give you a date for surgery by tomorrow night."
I took a deep breath, I almost did cry. "Thank you."
"You deserve it, big bro." He smiled for me, in a proud way.
I smiled too, I looked toward the horizon. The sun was setting and my body was tired from this emotional filled day. I guess we're going to stay here tonight.
"Tails?"
"...Mm?" It sounded like he was dozing off.
"After the surgery can we go away?"
"Go away?"
"Yeah, like a vacation."
"You? A vacation?" He tiredly chuckled.
I laughed. "Ok, not really a vacation, but somewhere else that we can help people. Obviously Eggman isn't the only threat-, correction, Eggman isn't a threat for us but, a threat that we haven't faced yet."
Tails shrugged. "Usually trouble comes to us when it is needed, but I'll see what I can find. I'm guessing you need a change in scenery? I could use that too." He yawned.
I yawned back, "Good." I closed my eyes, hoping that today never happened. I felt my tear ducks swell and water again as the day replayed in my head and I felt my eyes ache and finally give up as I cried. I didn't make any noise, but the sound of my tears falling were as loud as my heart pounding in my ears. I wiped my eyes and fell asleep.
…
I woke up to see that I was still in the tree from the day before. Tails was still resting and he had his tails wrapped around like a blanket. I didn't want to disturb him as my stomach growled and ached in pain from hunger. I got up and stretched seeing the sun was just now rising, but I knew where to go.
I ran through Station Square to get a chilli dog at my favorite stand. The city was quiet as I ran through which was usually as good, but the atmosphere was different. Even though I was only a blur to them, I could feel their eyes, I could hear their mockery and gossip. I've gotten criticism as a hero before but this was more personal. I made it to the hot dog stand that was open early and late for me because I was this guy's best costumer (now you know what I spend those gold rings on). I stopped, confused. Usually, there was the guy, happy while giving me my two chili dogs with extra chili. Instead there wasn't anyone there, the only thing that was, was a note. I took it and read it since it had my name on it.
Note:
SONIC,
I will no longer be serving you and I am going back to my regular hours. I thought I was serving a hero that my kids looked up to, but instead I've been serving a liar and a FREAK. You are banned FOREVER. If you are here during my work hours I will call the authorities.
As I read the note over and over I've never been given such discrimination before. I panted hard, as if I was having a panic attack but I took deep breaths. Tails always makes the best chili dogs anyway. I felt people walk by, and saw who I was. Some stopped and called me horrible things, and some just kept walking. I balled up the note and threw it away. I tried to walk passed those who were bullying me but pushed me back into a table. I didn't fall or make the table flip, thankfully. I should have dodged that but I didn't. What's wrong with me? Some of the guys taunted. I didn't feel like running away, nor did I feel like fighting them either. They didn't know my story and were the citizens that I've been protecting for years. All of the sudden I felt a black figure rush towards me, then a green light, and then nothing but black again.
"You really are weak, Faker."
I sighed. "Thanks, Shadzer."
"I swear to Chaos, Faker!"
I laughed and looked around. We were in a alley way. "Where are we?"
"Alleyway downtown. Rouge and I meet up here."
I smirked. "Meet up-"
"Not like that, Faker. Finish that sentence and see what happens." I heard the click of a gun, I didn't see him do it but I gulped.
"Eh heh." A sweat drop slide down the side of my muzzle.
Shadow leaned on a wall. "I'm guessing that gang up was because of yesterday's report by Eggman."
I looked up to the sky, leaning on the same wall but gave Shadow some distance. "You heard?"
"How could I not? He hacked my communicator and all other technology." I cringed, even though Shadow already knew, it was still grimacing to hear. "I hope you're wise enough to know that rumors are rumors."
I looked to him, confused. "Huh?"
"I hope you are smart- let me rephrase, that you can acknowledge what a rumor is."
I looked to him annoyed, hurt, and more confused. "But it's not a-"
"It is a rumor, it is not true."
"..." Was Shadow trying to say- as I opened my mouth to tell him what I thought he meant, he chaos controlled away. Shadow saw me as a man and nothing more...well, more than that. He aso sees me as: a "faker", a waste of life, a "disgrace to all hedgehog kind", and the list goes on. I took a deep breath. "I think it's time for a new look."
…
Over the course of a few months I've been working out relentlessly with Knuckles. Tails was working on his surgical/mechanical skills. Amy hasn't talked to me since the day she found me out, but I tried to bring that to back of my mind. I have nothing to apologize or to go to her for, as much as it hurt me. Knuckles has grown buff but the sight of this didn't surprise me since I've seen him gradually get this way. I'd say he did this to attract a certain bat, and to intimidate a certain black hedgehog, but I can't say for sure. No hearing from Eggman, he's kind been quiet, but apparently he must have heard my plea to get out of this place since there was rumor Eggman was leaving ship. We don't know where yet, but Tails was sure to find out and keep a close eye on his whereabouts.
Knuckles and I had just finished training. I tightened the sports tape around my hands. My looks kinda changed a little, but not much. The testosterone kinda made my quills grow a little, and I used to get it trimmed but I didn't this time, so I kinda looked rough, but in a cool way of course. Also, the fur on my arms grew blue as well. For male hedgehog this is normal (Totally made that up, but how else do you explain Sonic's blue arms in Sonic Boom?).
"So, your surgery thing is tomorrow?" Knuckles snickered but was happy for me. He snickered at the fact that I was pretty much getting dick tomorrow, but he was happy for me because of the fact that I was getting a dick tomorrow. I sighed, guessing I couldn't have gotten a better reaction.
I nodded. "Yeah."
"You scared?"
I shrugged, I've had plenty of time to get the 'scared' out of my system. But of course I'm Sonic the Hedgehog and I'm not scared of anything. "Not really."
There was a long pause.
"Is it big?"
I looked at Knuckles with hooded eyes, but the red echidna was serious as could be. "If it's bigger than yours, then yeah it's big." Come on, throughout adventures and us doing all of those fighting moves and tricks, you don't think dick slips have happened? Of course!
Knuckles huffed, offended. "I have you know, I'm above average."
"Oh yeah, you're above average alright." No wonder Rouge went back and forth.
To be Continued.
