Chapter Four

(Knuckles's P.O.V.)

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" screamed Sonic as he stumbled down stairs trying to put on his shoes. He scrambled out the door when Amy made it down stairs.

"Whoa, Amy. What you do to scare him like that?" I asked chuckling slightly.

She looked at me with her great big green eyes full of laughter, "First I had him think we had sex, and he believed it." She smiled slightly, "But you should hear his side tomorrow."

I shrugged, "Fine." I put back the book, "Wait…Did you say…" I turned toward her, "sex?!"

She picked up her notebook and walked toward her sewing room, "Make sure everyone is out for me before you leave. All of you can pick up your clothes tomorrow."

I sweat-dropped, "O-K…" I kicked Espio and picked Tails up by the tails. Espio was the color of the floor, but now he was a plaid and crumpled up holding himself.

"Damn…you!" he hissed in pain.

"Knuckles, let me go." wined a sleepy Tails.

"Let's go." I growled, dragging them both out.

(Amy's P.O.V.)

10:45 p.m. that night

I stretched and yawned. I folded up the last piece of clothing I made for the guys. I looked at my clock, "Damn, it's that late?" I even made me a new set of pajamas for myself. I put them on knowing they were extra baggy. I straitened out my bed and crawled in.

"Only a few days, sis. Only a few more freaking days." whispered my reflection. I was about to drift off when…

Brrring, Brrring!

I opened one eye and reached for the phone. "Hello, this is Amy Rose. How may I kill you for waking me up?"

"Err…Sorry, Amy. I just wanted to make sure you stopped and went to bed." Knuckles sounded genuinely concerned for me.

"Why, Knuckles. I didn't know you cared." I was really annoyed.

"Oh, its nothing. Heh, by the way Sonic told his story. Man he really had to be drunk."

"Really? What do you mean? What did he tell you?" Now I'm curious.

"He said you were a vampire, and you're going to kill him for not liking you at your currant age." I didn't say anything so he continued. "Hey, don't worry about him. He just likes…older women." He was trying to cheer me up but Knuckles always ends up making things worse.

"Well, thanks, Red. I feel a whole lot better." my words practically dripped with venom.

"I-" I pulled the wire to the phone. Rolling to my side, I chunked the phone across the room.

(A fly's P.O.V.)

I flew back in Amy's window and landed on the headboard. Envy was sprawled out on the mirror's bed, snoring loudly. Amy was tossing and turning. "Man, I wish I was 17." she sighed, after finding a position. "Then, maybe, Sonic would like me." I can grant her one wish, since I bound both of my daughters together. Well…my 'wish' granting skills are…not so good, but I practiced variations of this wish on a rabbit, kitsune, and a bee tonight…Here goes.

(Amy's P.O.V.) The next morning…

"Ugh, I don't want to get up." I grunted from under my pillow. I could hear Envy…snoring. I sat up groggily. I stretched. Something isn't right. The pajama set I made yesterday…Weren't these baggy last night? They felt skintight in places.

"Huh?!" I looked in my mirror, but Envy was in the way. "Envy, wake up!" She sat bolt upright.

"Wha…who? Ok! Who's ready to die!" she growled sleepily, rubbing her eyes. She looked older and her t-shirt she slept in looked shrunken like my pajamas. If I'm not mistaken her voice was slightly deeper and took on the tone of a female G.U.N. official with authority. She finished rubbing her eyes and looked at me, growling still.

"Whoa, Envy, did you have a growth spurt?"

"What do you mean me? Look at yourself." she sneered and disappeared. I saw…a dark pinkish-purple hedgehog staring back at me. I stood up to see her better. She stood up too. She was way taller than me. Her torso and legs, longer; waist, thinner. Her quills were down past her lower back, and they were hair-like in comparison. This isn't me…She is too pretty.

"Envy, quit trying to pull the wool over my eyes!"

"I hadn't done anything…" She appeared next to my reflection, like she was standing beside me. She had a better fitting outfit. All of it in blacks, whites, and grays. "At least not yet anyway…" Her quills were spiking strait up, she seemed to be a little pinker. "Are you fascinated with my body?"

"Eww…" My voice was a deferent pitch and caught me off guard. She smirked and straiten out her shirt. As she seemed to lean toward the mirror, like she wasn't in the mirror, I noticed her eyes weren't yellow but a very light shade of green.

"If you want something to stare at, stare at your own chest." She shook her head and walked out of my view. I looked.

"Oh, by the gods! They're almost bigger than Rouge's!" That was an understatement. They were bigger than Rouge's…but all natural.

"So…What's the use of oversized mammary glands?" she flopped on the bed putting on black, combat boots on. I didn't even know the answer.

"I guess to attract boys, maybe." I kind of shrugged. She looked at me sadly.

"So when did you make the wish?"

"What do you mean?" I backed up, and sat down. She looked at the floor slow and sullenly. Then she sighed heavily.

"When did you wish to be older? I guess this was a plot you and mother came up with so I couldn't walk around freely…I was two days away…TWO FREGGIN' DAYS!" she sniffed. "I want to flirt, I want to drink. All I have ever done was wait quietly in the lost library…check on you to make sure you didn't kill us. I cannot stand being trapped in this body! You're the only one that can see me…others could but they would think they're ether drunk or going crazy." That is why I look older…the wish I made last night. But my wishes have never came true before.

"Envy…I'm sorry I-I didn't know." She clenched her fists. Her eyes flashed bright yellow.

"Oh, well."

"Huh?! But-" She looked at me snarling, shutting me up.

"I'll make your pathetic life a living hell." She disappeared, just leaving my reflection and me. I felt like crying…or screaming. I just hurt my sister. She may not of been completely pleasant, but she was excited to walk around for once. And I took that away from her. I'm such an idiot. But it's not like I knew that my wish was going to be granted.

I plugged in the phone and called Rouge. I needed clothes and she was now my body type, I have no choice. The phone could be heard ringing on the other end.

"Hello?" I heard her say, "I'm working at the moment so this better be good."

"Um…Rouge, I need a favor."

"Amy?! Is that you? You sound different."

"Yes it's me." I sighed. "But I need you to do me some emergency shopping, or bring me some of your clothes." I felt stupid.

"Bring you my clothes? What happened?" she was laughing on the other end. "Did you come to your senses and burn yours?"

"Damn it, Rouge! Do I sound like I am friggin' laughing? Just bring me some clothes. And if you must know…I just had a freaking growth spurt." I felt my nails digging into my palm, almost drawing blood. She whistled shrilly on the other end.

"Mood swings much. Anyway I'll be over in a second, but my clothes are kind of…"

"I really don't care at the moment." I snapped and hung up on her. I paced my room trying to calm down. When I finally did, I called Espio.

(Espio's P.O.V.)

"Hello, the Ninja Star, Espio speaking. How may I help you?" I recited as usual, I had to stretch the cord out to hand Shadow his black coffee.

"Thanks." he mumbled taking the mug, like it was a sacred a rare medicine. "Oh, my head." I shook my head and listened to the woman on the phone.

"Rouge weren't you just here? Did you leave something?"

"I AM NOT ROUGE! It's me…Amy. By the gods, what is with you people?"

"Amy?! What's wrong?" She never calls me, only Sonic.

"Um…nothing really bad, but…could you stall everyone for an hour or two…I over slept." She sounded different and nervous. I herd bits and pieces of Rouge's conversation earlier, so…it has to do with clothes or something like that.

"Amy, it is a little late for that. Sonic and Knuckles are already headed your way."

"Shit!" I heard her whisper. "Where's Shadow?"

"He is right in front of me." I looked at 'The Ultimate Life Form', who was suckling on his coffee as if it was going to instantly rid him of his hangover. He waved with one hand trying to tell me that he did not wish to be on the phone with the woman who caused him to drink so much.

"Could you hand him the phone?" I did so and watched him with some satisfaction as he glared at me with bloodshot eyes.

"Yes, bu-" he begun, then his ears laid back. "I am The Ultimate Life Form. I don't take orders from stupid little bitches, like you."

Ooh! Amy is going to kill him. His ears drooped and he sweat dropped.

"Amy, Amy. I-I'll stop them. I will figure something out. Just…stop crying. You are supposed to yell. You know I cannot stand- Now, hey, calm down. I am going. I'm going." He shoved the phone in my hand and disappeared in a bright light. I raised the phone to my ear again.

"Thanks, Espio." she sniffed, but seemed to pick up an instantly joyful tone. "Come in an hour." She giggled and hung up.

(Rouge's P.O.V.)

I landed at Amy's doorstep shifting my duffle bag on my shoulder. I started to ring the doorbell, but I was pulled in the doorway suddenly. I screamed my surprise.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou." I was shocked looking at the tall, hyperactive, pink girl in front of me, as she grabbed the duffle bag. She nearly knocked me to the ground when she yanked it off my shoulder. As she dug through the bag, I finally found words.

"Amy? What happened to you?" I could feel my eye twitching. She is taller. Longer hair…quills…whatever. And man! Will my tops even fit her? She looked up from the duffle bag, brushing her quills out of her face. "Honey, I don't think my tops will fit you." She blushed and stuck out her tongue and left the room with the bag.

I sat, or rather, I lounged on her sofa waiting for her to come out. Although, I can't say I was completely bored. There was a program on selling some lustrous jewels. I was almost tempted to call and buy a few. That one's fake. Cracked. Not pretty enough. Not big enough. None were to my liking.

"Hey, Rouge?" she called from another room.

"Yes, my pink hedgehog look-alike?"

"Ha, ha. Very funny, but…how do I look?" She stepped out rather shyly. I stood up to determine if the outfit was really her. She picked out the black spandex pants with the black leather mini-skirt, and the black tube top that stops just below the breast. It showed quite a lot of her cleavage. I looked at her feet. Black boots that came up a little short from her knees. Not bad. Needs a little something.

"Real good, but…" Aha! I took off my black mini-jacket with the hood. "Here put this on." She obeyed. "Oh, wonderful! You can have the clothes if you let me do hair and make-up." I smiled as sweetly as I could.

"Fine. Just don't over do it." She had a pleading look in her eyes, before she took off upstairs to what I suppose is where her bedroom is, "Oh, and I'm a hedgehog. So, I have quills."

"Technicalities, technicalities." I never quite understood hair vs. quills. They gel there quills so that they seem sharper.

"Oh, and I am not entirely sure if they are still sharp since they are longer, so…" I shoved her on, up stairs.

"Don't worry I will take care of it…hair or quills."

She sat down in front of a mahogany vanity mirror, that took up almost the entire south wall, as soon as we got to her room. I couldn't help but look around. She had a queen bed, that was loaded with fluffy comforters and overstuffed pillows. The headboard shoved up against the northern wall in the center of the room, a door leading to a bathroom on the side opposite of the oak dresser and window. The window! Large, with a small stained glass half oval, shaped like a morning sun rising over the horizon, above it. It faced the east to meet the morning sun. This made you forget that her entire room was a sickening pink and pale purple color.

"Well?" I snapped back to attention.

"Sorry. Hmm…lets see…" Since my hair is short I have no real choice but to brush it back and leave it. I absolutely love messing with other people's hair…Knuckles's is especially fun, who knew his hair was actually well taken care of and soft when it's not in dreadlocks. I wonder what would suit her. After some careful thought, I remembered why my hair is short…I can't do crap with it. I put it up in a medium height pony-tail. Although, she insisted that her bangs should always drape over her forehead. They turned out to drape a little over her right eye and frame her face a little better.

I leaned against the vanity mirror to get a good look at her face, to see if I should even really bother. She was one of those rare types. Not needing any cosmetics to make her look good, but she was wearing dark colors…my specialty.

I put some black eyeliner on her heavily, and some of my turquoise eye shadow. Digging through her lipstick stash I found a bloody red and a black one she used on All Hollows Eve (Jinx's A/N: Halloween, peeps.) last year. I dotted her lower lip slightly with black and put the red on her upper.

"Smear." I said, instinctively showing her how.

"I know how. I've only, like, done it a million times."

"Sweety, I swear if you go valley girl on me…I'll personally kick your ass. And I am wearing the right kind of boots today just to do so." She ignored me shaking her head lightly, as she leaned up to make sure it was smearing correctly.

"Needs something…Aha!" I pulled my cosmetic bag out again. "Just be glad that I went shopping earlier and bought these in bulk." I pulled out a new, oxblood colored, lip lining pencil. Perfect!

"OK. I'm done. What 'cha think?" Waving toward the mirror, I watched her eyes follow my hand to examine her self in the mirror. She gasped.

"Wow! I never would of thought of Egyptian style." she gasped in astonishment…again.

"Well, when I heard there was a ruby the size of an average animal on the head of a sphinx, I headed over there. Well it was just a piece of well colored glass. So I went sight seeing. Loads of pictures of these humans and cats all with this make-up style…so…I stole that idea instead." I shrugged, but she sweat dropped, giving me a slight glare. "Hey, it's in my nature. Don't hate."

She shook her head and stood up. She smiled semi-evilly as if she had an idea of some sort. She did a slight twirl and pulled some of my moves. She then winked and blew a kiss to the mirror. "Sonic, ya gotta like me now." She never gives up. I giggled a bit remembering when I was 17.

Flashback:

I was looking at my reflection wavering in a pond. I touched my smashed pig-like nose, and tried to brush my stringy black hair. I was just another stupid, ugly, black vampire bat. I sighed, "Why doesn't anyone like me?" My voice harsh and high pitched, continued to mock me. I know the reason and threw a rock into the pond, breaking the water's calmness and further distorting my reflection. I stood up dejectedly and walked farther into the forest. I kicked a tree cutting it down with ease.

"Hey!" I jumped. Turning to the voice. It was only a human in a sari with the thickest veil possible on.

"Sorry." I mumbled and kept walking. The human grabbed my shoulder.

"Don't walk off from me. You have real talent you could do some real good." She was a tall human that had brown, almost black, eyes. Most of her skin was covered except for her hands and eyes.

"You're just saying that to make fun of me." I knew their kind, compliment you then turn around and talk awfully about you behind your back later.

"Nonsense if anyone shall be made fun of, it should be me." She said pointing to herself.

"Yah, right!" I shoved her away and continued walking in to the depths of the forest.

"Here let me show you…" I turned around and she took off the veil and brushed her mouse brown bangs back. She had black stripes on her forehead, that looked like demon horns that started at her hairline and turned toward each other, a little above her eyes. Their was a horizontal stripe under both eyes and a thin one connected it to another sharp looking stripe that turned toward each other at her chin. They looked like tiger stripes, especially the one that was on her neck. She turned around and she shook her mouse brown cat-like tail. She smiled at me with sharp cat-like, almost vampire-like, teeth. "See?" I admit I was surprised, but she was still pretty.

I sighed, "Well at least you're not ugly and flat-chested like me." She shook her head and snapped. A puff of smoke engulfed me.

I couldn't draw breath. Sharp searing pain pulsed through my body like blood. I almost screamed out if my vocal cords didn't hurt so much. The pain stop almost as suddenly as it came. As soon as I could breath and stop shaking I looked at her. She smiled softly.

"What the hell was that?!" She didn't answer but produced a full length mirror with the snap of a finger. I glanced at the mirror, but did a double take in shock. I looked in the mirror and making sure it was really me. I was completely opposite. I had white hair, a nice figure, a pretty face, and…oh thank the goddess…boobs the size of melons! I looked like a fruit bat, and I completely ignored the fact I didn't have as much fur as I was supposed to. "C-c-can I stay this way, Miss…" I looked at her pleadingly.

"Its Aurora, and yes you can." She held out her hand, I shook it.

"Wait…" I looked up at her in horror. A humanish woman who can cause mystical transformations. "Aurora? You mean the goddess of mischief and trickery, that can shape shift? A-and..." She smiled evilly and nodded cutting me off.

"Since you shook hands, I have to ask you to find me the most pretty, most valuable, the most precious jewel in all of Mobius, before you wed."

"What if I don't?"

She shrugged, "It's a toss up between telling your husband-to-be one of your secrets, taking away this beauty, or just killing you on the spot. Or maybe I'll do just the first two…Depends on my mood." She smiled. "But I don't think you'll let me down. So enjoy your new look." Her eyes danced with amusement and mischief.

I hugged her hopping around, "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!" I released her and flew off screaming at the top of my lungs, "You people have to like me now!" I did a barrel roll before heading to that big city I was always afraid to go to.

End Flashback.

If I only took her seriously I wouldn't be in such a jam. Who knew she was also the mother of Chaos and the emeralds, certainly not Knux. At least that trip to Egypt really wasn't a complete waste of time. I learned quite a lot about her there. But- I rolled off my glove, looking at my simple engagement ring, and rolled back up my glove. "I hope she doesn't show." I muttered under my breath.

"What, Rouge?" Amy stopped playing around and looked at me. I jumped and scratched my head, nervously.

"Oh, nothing. I just um…was remembering…something…" Amy cocked her head slightly so she could see with both eyes, her eyes danced with a certain familiarity.

"Oh, okay." She smiled her innocent smile that most 17 year old girls have to learn to fake.


Jinx: -sad kitten eyes- Are you gonna review.

Mutt: Geez you sound... I don't know desperate.

Jinx: It's 'cause I am.

Mutt: Oh...
