A/N: I am thinking about making this FanFic only Earth & Sonic, and save the Pokemon part for another story. However, I would love input. R&R!

Chapter 4

A voice. He knew that voice, but it sounded metallic, and far away. He wanted to open his eyes, but they refused the command, and then the mechanical voice screamed at him to wake up. The red echidna practically flew from his place in the chair, with a wild yelp of surprise, violet eyes flashing open. The voice was still pouring from somewhere, and then Knuckles remembered where he was, and pushed the button.

"Chill out Tails, I'm fine, how are you two?"

"Nothing but a bruise," Sonic's voice came through the speaker, and Knuckles looked over to see both the hedgehog and Tails standing up in the cockpit.

Another press of the button; "Where are we?"

"I have no idea, this planet never showed up on any of the scanners, until we crashed. Look outside, does it look familiar to you?" the intelligent voice of the orange fox said. Knuckles turned and looked out through the cockpit window, eyes growing slightly wide.

"It's a desert, but I have no clue other than that," he said, and then kicked something with his foot. A loud yowl and he felt a stinging pain in his leg, followed by a surprised gasp.

"I am so sorry!" The black cat said, standing in an instant. She fidgeted for a second before Knuckles stood upright and turned around, pressing the button to open the cockpit, and leapt out, followed silently by Frenzi.

"It's fine, just next time look before you decide to take off my leg," the red echidna growled. Sonic and Tails had just hopped out of their places too, walking across the tan ground slowly, taking in the new world they had landed on. There were odd looking, spindly green trees that sprouted at random intervals, a dry and very hot wind blowing, and very tall green plant stretching up towards the sky, with something like arms coming out of the sides.

"What is this place?" Sonic asked, looking around at the new flora.

"I don't know Sonic, but isn't that a fence?" the orange fox exclaimed, pointing to something about half a mile in front of them.

"You stay here, I'll go check it out!" the blue hedgehog said, speeding towards the cream colored object. He returned not much later, a grin spread across his face. "It's a fence all right, and a pool, and a house!" There was silence for a moment before Tails spoke up nervously.

"We're not on Mobius anymore though. . ."

"Well buddy, it seems that we have to go see what's up, there's nothing else out here for at least four miles." The blue anthromorph said. Shrugging, Frenzi started walking towards the house, followed by Knuckles, then Sonic, then Tails. She hesitated for a second, wondering why she had bothered to take the lead, but continued walking, watching the ground in front of her carefully. Before long the bottom of her paws had started to burn slightly, but they were almost there, so she said nothing, just picked up the pace until Sonic shot ahead of her, hopping right over the fence and running towards the door. He gestured for the rest to hurry up, so they all ended up running towards the tan house, huffing because of the heat. "You're not going to break it down, are you?" Tails asked quietly, not wanting to anger whoever lived inside the house.

"Of course not, I'm just going to try the handle and. . ." He pushed down on the silver door handle and with a sharp sound it swung inward, much to the group's delight. They stepped inside and gazed around. It looked like a normal house, save that everything was slightly taller. Sonic led the amazed group father into the house, looking out to the right where a large opening in the wall was. Tails' jaw dropped open as he happily ran over to the huge, 72 inch TV, looking like he had just found a hundred dollar bill on the floor. The other three stepped through the opening and watched as Tails found a gray remote, and tentatively pushed the 'on' button.

After a long couple of seconds, a bright picture of a cartoon came onto the screen. One of the characters was bald with a blue arrow on his head, and red and yellow clothes. None of them got to see any more of it, because not moments after, a human in silky black pants and a yellow t-shirt came into the room, her jaw dropped open.

"Hiya!" Sonic said animatedly, while Knuckles just crossed his arms, Frenzi tried to fade into the shadows that were non-existent, and Tails took a step behind Sonic.

"Sorry to barge into your house. . . we just crash-landed and your house was the only thing in view." The orange two-tailed fox said sheepishly. Silence reigned for a second before the human spoke.

"You – you – you're" The female's words were completely incoherent, and Knuckles rose an eyebrow. After running a hand through her mid-back length, dirty blonde hair, she tried to speak again. "Sonic and friends."

"Not my friend," Knuckles grumbled under his breath, although no one could hear him.

"Yep. Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. Uhm, any idea what planet this is?" the blue hedgehog asked.

"Earth."

"You are a human then?" Tails asked. He just got a nod, and it seemed like the human girl was starting to come back down to her planet.

"My name is Ana. . . How did you get here?" She sat down on the black leather couch, most likely seeing spots.

"We are on an adventure to find new inventions for Tails, and we landed here." Sonic announced.

"That's not even possible," Ana mumbled to herself, and her green eyes flickered towards the TV. "Just watch that for a moment, feel free to dig around in the fridge. I'll. . . be right back." She stood up shakily, walked right past the fridge, and grabbed the phone to the right of it, walking back down the hallway.

Frenzi detached herself from the wall, sitting on the very middle of the couch while Tails flipped through the channels. No one was really watching it though, and Knuckles slipped back through the opening and headed towards the stainless steel fridge. His eyes lit up as he saw a bag of grapes sitting on the middle shelf. He grabbed the whole bag and then went back to standing by the black couch, which Frenzi had seemingly disappeared into.

"You're not even going to get a bowl?" the aforementioned asked Knuckles, raising a brow.

"No? She offered."

"Ugh, unless you're going to eat the whole bag, I don't think she wants your mitts over all of the grapes."

"Well, lucky for her, that's exactly what I plan to do." The red echidna said, plucking off a grape and popping it into his mouth. Frenzi rolled her emerald eyes, murmuring something about brutes.

Down the hallway and to the left, Ana was lying on the bed in her circus-purple bedroom, the dark violet accent wall behind her. The phone was ringing, and she was waiting impatiently.

"Finally Shannon! I've been waiting forever for you to pick up! What? Oh, fine, can you come over? Really? Alright, bring your car, and be here in ten minutes." Ana grinned and clicked the end button, then started wondering about what her friend's reaction would be. "Maybe she'll think it's just a bunch of munchkins in costumes. . ." With a short sigh Ana stood up and walked back through the hallway, peeking around the corner to make sure she wasn't imagining things. Nope, they were all there. The red echidna, blue hedgehog, orange two-tailed fox, and . . . her eyes narrowed as she saw a pair of black ears sticking up above the couch back.

Black ears? Ana wracked her brain, but she couldn't find anything in her memory bank about a black creature that was in the group. As far as she could remember, there weren't any black creatures, especially with cat ears, in any of the series. "Who else is with you?" she asked suddenly, surprised that the words had come out of her mouth.

Everyone turned, Knuckles with way more than one grape in his maw. "Wha rarr oo alking out?"

"I recognize you three, but not the black uh. . . cat."

"This is Frenzi," Tails said.

Ana just shrugged, and then asked casually, "Is anyone hungry? I know of this awesome restaurant, and it's fast. Not to mention they have chili dogs." The blue hedgehog sat up immediately, eyes wide and mouth starting to water. Without him saying anything, she knew that he was sold. "I'm not able to drive yet, but Sha-" a loud doorbell interrupted her words, and she looked at the door and back to the small group watching TV. With a deep breath she walked to the door and opened it, a forced smile on her face. "Hello Shannon! Thanks for coming."

The girl who stood in the doorway was at least 5'10", with shoulder-length blonde hair, and an air of intelligence around her. She wore jeans and a dark maroon shirt. "No problem! So . . . what's up?"

"Well . . ." Ana started, and then Shannon's eyes roved towards the large TV, not noticing the Mobians gathered on the couch.

"Why are you watching Avatar on that? You never use that TV, unless it's for movies."

"I'm not technically watching it. . ." Ana said, absentmindedly pushing a stray lock of hair back.

"Not to be rude, of course, but shouldn't you turn it off then?" Shannon asked happily.

"Someone is watching it though."

That was then the brown eyes of the girl caught the figures on the couch. Before they had been hidden, but now, standing by the side of it, she could see all of them clearly. Her eyes grew wide, and her jaw went slack. Shannon looked towards Ana for explanation, but only got a shrug.

"You're kidding me. This has got to be a joke."

"Nope."
