"Cmon

"Cmon!" Charmy and Bonita ran up the aisle, followed closely by Vector, Cream, and Vanilla. The auditorium was packed with humans, but 17 seats in the middle of the front row were reserved for our heroes. Charmy sat down, commenting on Bonita's outfit. Bonita's everyday outfit was a fuscia tea-shirt and blue jean overalls. Nikki followed, still wearing her nurse's outfit. Amy sat by Nikki, then Cream, then Vanilla. Vector settled into the seat by his crush, Espio on his other side. Omega could barely sit down. Rouge sat between him and Knuckles, whom everyone knew she had a crush on-and he liked her back! Tails sat by Knuckles, then Sonic, Shadow, Sunni, Arkmor, and Big. "Cream, settle down!" Vanilla said, as Cream bounced up and down, Cheese and Chocola sitting in her lap. "Save your energy to cheer for the singers, and when you sing yourself." "Okay mama!" Cream calmed down. "Chao!" "Chao!" "When's the show gonna start?" "I dunno, Charmy. Why, are you bored?" "Nah, I can talk to you, Bonita." "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." "Okay Sunni." "This is gonna be fun!" "Yeah, Amy." "Calm down girls, we don't perform until trios." "Kay, Rouge." "It's hot, I'm gonna go get a drink." "Alright Sonic." The lights dimmed. "Welcome, everyone to the Station Square Talent Extravaganza! I'm your host, Kai C. Best, and this is my co-hostess, Popuri!" A pink-haired woman waved. "We are proud to present some of the Earth's finest! So, without further ado." Kai and Popuni stepped back. "Now, every year, we have a challenge. This year, every soloist had to find a partner and also perform a duet. So, first up, from a town far away, here's Sunni and Cliff Heinger! "Hey, Sunni, that human shares your-Sunni?" "She's not back yet. Neither's Sonic." "Oh." 6 more pairs sang and 2 danced. Then Kai said, "Now for our last pair, Station Square's young starlet and her best friend, please welcome Sunni and Sonic hedgehogs!" A small riot broke out in the front row, many "WHAT?!" 's were heard. All the noise died, though, when Sunni and Sonic stepped onstage. Sonic was dressed in an army green-and-brown hoodie and brown jeans over his red and white shoes. Sunni wore her original outfit she'd worn the day she arrived. A pink, strapless tube top hugged her body. A thin black cord held up her blue skirt. A heart clip adorned her right ear, and the Mini Emerald glittered on her neck. She looked…dazzling. Music began to play and Sonic and Sunni picked up a mike. They turned and smiled at each other, looked out at the audience and burst into song.

Everyone gawked. Sonic's baritone voice was as smooth as cream, and he had a steady airflow, making his voice rich as chocolate. Sunni voice was both soprano and alto, moving from melody to harmony easily. Somehow, she weaved her voice into Sonic's, sounding like one person. As they finished, they were greeted by silence. They looked at the stunned audience, then back at each other. Their ears drooped as they set down the mikes and turned to walk offstage. A single clap froze them. Another. Then another. Suddenly the silent auditorium reputed with noise. The two hedgehogs turned to face the audience. Both blushed as they took a bow. Smiling, they walked offstage, hand-in-hand. Arkmor could hear Shadow's heart breaking. Shadow thought Sunni loved Sonic. They might even be going out. Arkmor, however, knew the truth. He sighed; he will get Sunni and Shadow together if it cost him his life!

"Hey guys!" Sonic was back. He'd ditched the pants, but was still in the hoodie. Amy immediately squealed and launched at Sonic, hugging him. He rolled his eyes, pushed Amy off and sat down between Tails and Shadow. Nikki smiled at Sonic and said something, but Arkmor was distracted, as Amy had fallen into his lap. A weird feeling swelled in his chest. Blood rushed through his body, pounding in his ears. What is this feeling? I've never felt this before! Amy hopped up and apologized, running off with Cream and Rouge. Arkmor just sat there, his body missing the warmth of the other hedgehog. What the heck was that? 3 trios performed, then Popuri said, "Now we have a trio we all know and love. Please welcome Amy Rose, Cream the rabbit, and Rouge the bat!" The three girls walked on stage amid cheers. Rouge wore a sleeveless, spaghetti-strapped mini-dress that was a sparkly amethyst. Cream had donned a shiny, flowing knee-length dress that was sky blue. Amy was dressed in a "tube" mini-dress that seemed to glow green. All three were barefoot. They sang a song titled "Last One Standing" by Triple Image. Cream sang high, Rouge sang low, and Amy sang the melody. Each girl had a solo and danced to their own style-Cream sweet and cute, Rouge seductive and smooth, Amy sassy and energetic. It was awesome. Now it was time for the solos. Knuckles had a nosebleed from watching Rouge, and Tails was totally red from his ears to his namesakes. The girls returned and sat down. But what shocked everyone was that Arkmor, who had been ignoring all the songs that had come after Sunni's and Sonic's, opened his eyes and nodded at them. They had smiles so wide you would think that their faces would split! To receive any kind of complement from Arkmor was nothing short of a miracle! Kai stood up, "Last but not least, please put your hands together for Sunni the Hedgehog!" Sunni walked out on stage. She simply wore a brown cloak that was way too long. Her Mini Emerald glittered. "This is for the one that owns my heart," she said to the crowd, "Though he doesn't know it." The music started.

The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation, the crowd is kind and quick to fool you. Welcome to the middle ground, it's safe and, sound, and until now, it's where I've been.

Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything. But it's love, your love, cuts the strings!

So long status quo! I think I just let go! You make me wanna be brave. The way it always was, is no longer good enough! You make me wanna be brave.

Brave…

Brave…

I am small, and I speak when I'm spoken to, but I am willing to risk it all…I say your name, just your name, and I'm ready to go! Even ready to fall…

Why did I take this vow of compromise? Why did I try to keep it, all inside?

So long status quo! I think I just let go! You make me wanna be brave. The way it always was, is no longer good enough! You make me wanna be brave.

Brave…

Bray-ave!

I've never know a fire that didn't begin with a flame, and every storm will start with just a drop of rain, but if you believe in me, that changes everything

So long, I'm gone…

At this point, Sunni ripped off her robe, revealing a silver tank top with black bows on the straps and long silver pants. Both pieces of clothing shimmer. A silver headband glitters on her head and her heart belt shone as she danced.

So long status quo! I think I just let go! You make me wanna be brave, I wanna be brave! The way it always was, is no longer good enough! You make me wanna be brave!

Brave!

Bray-ay-ave!

Bray-ay-ave…

Sunni's voice was perfect. She never screwed up, and the song fit her voice perfectly. She danced, smooth and cute, yet…sexy, in her own way. "Oh, hell! I can't believe I just thought that!" Shadow said to himself. Twinkles came out of Sunni's Emerald and fell on her friends. Most of them, Arkmor noted, landed on Shadow. As she finished, clapping began, followed by shrieks and cheers. Sunni smiled, blushing, looking adorable. Suddenly, she stared at the front row, startled. Shadow was standing, still clapping. Sonic stood up then. Then Nikki, then Bonita. Suddenly everyone was standing, cheering and whistling. Sunni was a bit worried when, a still sitting Arkmor was yanked to his feet by a cheering Amy, but she relaxed as he seemed to not care about it. Arkmor was the last to rise, so Sunni had a standing ovation. The lilac hedgehog's eyes got wider and wider, ending up bigger than dinner plates. She swayed slightly as lights focused on her. She walked off stage, dazed. "Now for the winners!" Kai cried. "Best dancer, Mary Mystenile!" A blueish-black haired girl ran up on stage, glasses glinting. "Best trio, Amy, Cream, and Rouge!" The three girls ran onstage and each received a gold trophy. "Best duet, our challenge winners, Sonic and Sunni! Sonic jumped onto the stage and Sunni reappeared in her normal outfit. They bowed and accepted a crystal trophy each. "Now, the moment you've all been waiting for!" Popuri sang. "It's time to announce our talent show star!" Kai crowed. "The winner is…Sunni the hedgehog!"

Every free spotlight focused on the small girl, as her eyes got even bigger. She stood there, stunned, until Sonic nudged her softly. She tripped dazedly over to Kai and Popuri amid cheers. "Now, Sunni, you said something before your song. Who owns your heart? Care to shed some light on this situation?" Sunni blushed. "N-no. Not really…" She walked up to the mike, lifting it. "I kind of hoped my song would clear it up, but…there is someone that owns my heart. Dead silence. No one moved or spoke. The sweet voice got stronger. "He's sweet, kind, and loving. He cares about people and likes to help when he can. He loves to help when he can." Oh, no, I have to listen to her describe Sonic." Shadow winced. He felt like crying. He closed his eyes. "But he hides it." What? Shadow's eyes snapped open. "He's…almost…afraid to show his feelings. He hides every feeling behind an uncaring look. He feels like no one cares. His old life was ripped away. So now he thinks he can never have another." She's not talking about Sonic! Shadow stared up at her. "But he's not alone. I want to be there beside him." Tears glittered in her eyes. "He can reject me, but I'll stay by him, no matter what." The tears fell, streaking her fur. "I wanna be the one to stand by him, forever…I love…" Her voice wavered. "Shadow the hedgehog." Arkmor could hear a pin drop as Sunni completely broke down. Everyone gawked at her as her sobs echoed, such a sweet girl, falling for the unfeeling Shadow? That just didn't happen. Did it? Espio and Vector gasped, while Bonita, Charmy, Nikki and Cream felt their jaws hit the floor. Vanilla and Rouge felt their faces go red. Amy, Knuckles, Big, and Tails stared. Arkmor just smirked, looking at his "bother" as Sunni dropped her head. Shadow lifted himself onto the stage, eyes locked on the crying hedgehog. He placed a hand under Sunni's chin. Slowly, he lifted her face to see his. Glittery sapphires met soft rubies, and the world watched breathlessly.

"I love you too, Sunni." Sunni's eyes widened slightly as Shadow said this, his loud voice ringing through the stadium. Everyone gasped simultaneously. Shadow the hedgehog-loved? Wow. No one saw that coming-except Sonic and Arkmor. Both were smirking. Looking up, Sunni smiled and staggered. Shadow caught his newly announced love and kneeled by her. "Are you okay?" Sunni smiled at him as he helped her up, blushing as his hand lingered on her arm. "Yeah, just a little dizzy. You have no idea how hard it is to dance twice in a-GET DOWN! Sunni shoved his head down and ducked as lasers flashed overhead. "Eggman's robots!" Sonic yelled as he charged at the revealed menace. Two screams spilt the air. "Nikki! Bonita!" Sunni yelled for her friends as they were shoved into pods by egg pawns. A floating craft popped into view, inside was a huge man. "Eggman!" The whole room shouted. He laughed. "Yes you fools!" He waved a hand at Sonic, Shadow, and Sunni. "Deal with them, my minions!" As the egg pawns engaged them, Eggman hit a button and looked on as Nikki and Bonita began to transform to mindless robots. "No!" Sunni yelled. Eggman carefully monitored the progress of his machine. "I've never tried this on humans, but there's a first time for everything!" All of a sudden, the machine began to overload. "Darn it! I forgot to balance the power cores! At lest the two go with it!" "No…" Sunni whispered. A flash of blue ran by her, and Sonic pulled the two out of the overload and to a save distance…but something had changed. The machines propose, along with the overload and created two new Mobians.

Nikki had changed to a blue-furred fox. The fur was a deeper shade of blue than Sonic. A violet-blue ponytail bounced on her head. She wore a white dress that complimented her wiry frame. Small white gloves with lace edging covered her hands. Her tail twitched, and her eyes opened, proving them to be green. Her shoes were a plain white with a red bow. Bonita was now a small bee, about Charmy's size. She had a fuschia shirt and blue jean overalls on. Blonde fur spiked out around her eyes. Two antennae curled out f her blonde fur. The rest of her body had black fur like Charmy's. She had no gloves, and pink tennis shoes. She blinked, revealing pink eyes. Suddenly Sunni's hand was ripped out of Shadow's. "Sunni!" Shadow roared, as she was taken. The bot that held Sunni flew beside Eggman and dropped her into a plexiglass cage, shutting the door. "Well," Eggman said. "If I can't get the first prize, I will take the second!" The cage was attached to the bottom of Eggman's hovercraft. Shadow eyes turned pure red, and he glowed. "CHAOS BLAST!" The egg pawns (And a good deal of the stage) were blown to pieces. Despite the carnage, Sunni was still caught. To Shadow's horror, Eggman's turned and rocketed away, yelling "To ARK!" Sunni's eyes widened, as did Shadow's, both saw fear and love reflected there. Then Sunni was jerked up as Eggman began his retreat. "SUNNI!" Shadow yelled, then fell to his knees, crying for one of the rare times in his life. "S-S-Sunni…"

Pure Heart: :3

Shadow: Sniff. I hate you.

Pure Heart: Aww…why?

Shadow: (Becomes chibi and waves his fists.) You promised I could finally be with Sunni!

Pure Heart: You did tell her…

Shadow: But she got kidnapped!!

Pure Heart: (Blushes)

Shadow: WHAT?!

Pure Heart: You're cute when you're angry! XD

Shadow: grrr…

Dark Soul: Enough! (Steps between Shadow and Pure Heart.)

Shadow: GRRRAUGH!

Pure Heart: Rawr.

Sonic: Geez, lady. You're crazy.

Pure Heart: Thank you.

Shadow: Let me KILL her! (Lunges.)

Arkmor: (Grabs him.) No.

Shadow: WHY!

Arkmor: Because if you do, Sunni's NOT coming back…ever. That, and she is a fiend of Dark Soul.

Shadow: What does that have to do with it?

Arkmor: He made me, so what he says, goes. And she's nice…sort of.

Pure Heart: Thank you, Arkmor. Anyway, please R and R. Now, who to kill off in the next chapter…

Shadow: AUGH!

Sonic: What!

Arkmor: No!

Dark Soul: Arkmor, relax, it will work out.

Arkmor: Yes, Dark Soul.

Sonic: You suck up!

Dark Soul: (Gives Sonic a glare that would make Sesshomaru proud.)

Sonic: O crap! (Runs for the hills.)

Dark Soul: Pure?

Pure Heart: Yes?

Dark Soul: Crossovers.

Pure Heart: Oh, right! Did you notice the crossovers? Kai, Popurri, Cliff, Sunni, (The human one.) and Mary are all crossovers. Kudos if you tell me who they are! (Sees a bunch of lawyers.) Uh, Dark Soul…

Dark Soul: What? Oh, right. (Sighs.) I don't own Sesshomaru-sama or any thing of Inuyasha. (Turns to the lawyers.) Back off!

Sonic: Ha! Dark Soul scared of humans!

Pure Heart: Oh, boy! (Gets out of the way.)

Dark Soul: (Draws his sword.) So, Sonic, you think this Dark Soul has fear? I will put you in your place. (Charges at Sonic.)

Sonic: AAAA! (Runs for Dark Soul.)

Pure Heart: Just don't kill him!

Dark Soul: I won't.
