Anyways, enjoy!
I can't remember the last time I actually had a good night sleep. It seems like it's been forever. Every night I'm usually kept up due to constant nightmares. Well, lately it hasn't been that bad since I've started to learn to sleep through them.
But I still never feel truly rested. I...I smell food.
I cracked open my eyes to see, before rising up to stretch. My vision adjusted to see that my room was...wait this isn't my room. Oh yea I forgot. I flopped back down on my pillow facing the ceiling.
Well turns out it wasn't a dream after all. I really am here after all.
A breath of relief escaped my lips, before I remembered what woke me up from my slumber. I sit back up and sniff the air.
Is that pancakes?
My stomach began to growl ravenously, reminding me that I haven't eaten since yesterday morning. Clutching my stomach to attempt to suppress the noise, I climbed out of bed and walked to the door. I opened it only to have the scent of pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit flow through my nose. Following the delicious smell, I made my way downstairs and towards the kitchen. As I'm walking, I stop at the dining room to see there are plates of pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas, melon, and cantaloupe.
Wow. It all looks so good. Hey, I wonder where's-
"Morning!"
"Morning...?!"
Holy crap. She scared the hell out of me...
Amy giggled as she set two glasses of orange juice on the table.
Anxious to satisfy my growling gut, I drizzle some syrup over my pancakes before taking a bite.
"These are...really good." I say, marveling at the taste.
"Thanks. They're homemade actually."
I haven't had homemade in so long.
I continued to munch on my pancakes, savor in every bite.
"After we're done eating, I was planning on going into station square so we can get you some new clothes. "Oh, you don't have to spend your money on me." I said to Amy.
"Come on, you can't wear the same clothes everyday." Amy said, giggling.
With the amount of bags I'm holding right now, you would think I have the strength of Wonder Woman. We have spent the past five hours in every store there is around here. I find it ironic that most of the stores on this planet are the same stores as back on Earth. Right now, we were in our 20th store for today and Amy was having trouble deciding between two dresses...again.
"Ok which one do you think is better, this one…." Amy asks, holding up a white halter dress with a light pink ribbon tied into a bow around the waist. "Or this one?" She asks, holding up a black strapless dress with a fushia ribbon tied into a flower.
Hmmmm….hate them both so much. But it's not about me is it?
H"Ummm…the white halter looks more like your style." I suggest. Amy looks at it in consideration. "Yea, your right." Amy agrees before putting the black dress back on the rack. "Ok I think we have enough now."
"Yea, I think so too." I say, slightly grunting from the weight of the bags.
"Well, I didn't expect to see you here."
I recognize that voice...
I heard Amy let out a groan. "Hello, Rouge." I turned around to see a familiar white bat with a smirk on her face.
"Somebody doesn't seem very happy to see me." Amy only rolled her eyes at her comment. As if just noticing me presence, Rouge turns her attention towards me with a somewhat surprised look.
"Oh, I don't think I've seen you around before. What's your name?"
I'm...Sasha."
"Hi, I'm Rouge the Bat. Delighted to meet you." Rouge said with a friendly smile while holding out her hand. I returned a small smile and shook her hand.
"And that's as you need to know. Now if you'll excuse us, we'll be leaving." Amy said with an annoyed tone, while grabbing my arm.
"Well, isn't that rude. I was just getting to know your friend since she obviously seems to be new around here."
A small chuckle escaped my lips, but not loud enough to here. I always thought the bickering between Amy and Rouge were pretty funny.
Amy just scoffed. "Whatever. C'mon Sasha." With that, Amy started dragging me away.
"See you girls later." I heard Rouge say as we were walking away.
Amy had a glare on her face. "So, I take it that you aren't Rouge's biggest fan?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"She's so shady. It's just best that I stay away from her." Amy said, clearly not happy. I decided I wouldn't bug her about it.
We made our way towards the checkout line. It was a bit silent between us until Amy broke it.
"Hey, I just thought about something. How come you didn't pick out any dresses or skirts at least."
"I used to wear dresses, but not anymore. They're so girly and annoying. So I prefer the tomboyish look." I explained to her.
"Awwww. But I bet you would look SO beautiful. I promise you, one day we are going to find a perfect dress and you are going to look SOOO cute." She squealed.
I sweat dropped at the thought. "Heheh, yea. We'll see."
Not gonna happen.
After finishing our shopping trip, we headed back to Amy's house. As soon as we got there I decided to take a shower since its been almost two days since I bathed and I'm pretty sure I stink.
I went in the bathroom and turn on the water before removing my clothes. I look at my reflection in the mirror as I did last night. My eyes locked onto my lower stomach.
Yep...it's still there...
On my lower stomach, just about an inch below my blue metallic belly button ring was a deep scar that across my stomach. I traced my fingers along it and the memories from two years ago started to play in my head. ...how I got it...the pain I felt...the time I spent in the hospital... I hate remembering that event because it reminds me of everything else. And just like those painful memories, the scar never faded.
I released a deep sigh before shaking the memories out of my head and stepping in the shower.
I emerged from the bathroom wearing a baggy black tank that's ripped in the back and has a big silver cross on the front, plain black jeans, and black boots with silver buckles.
It feels good to be back in some comfortable clothes.
I walked downstairs to see Amy talking on her communicator. Judging by the squealing and the little hearts floating around her head, I assume she is talking to Sonic.
"Ok, love you Sonic! See you later!" She squealed.
"Yea...see ha later, Ames." I heard Sonic say before hanging up.
Amy hung up her communicator before sighing to herself dreamily.
Unbelievable...
"Umm...Hey Amy." I say wondering if should interrupt her precious moment.
She jerked out of her thoughts and turned to me.
"Oh hey. Sa-...hmmmm. It looks nice on you but I think it could use some more pink."
I bet you do...
"That was Sonic. He told us to meet him and the others at Tails's workshop to discuss how are we gonna get you back to normal and send you back home."
My eyebrows slightly furrowed at this.
But what if I don't wanna go back? What if I wanna stay here on a planet filled with colorful anthropomorphic animals instead of a planet full of humans who act I'm not even a part of them?
I didn't want to go back. I refused to go back. Anywhere would be better than living with those bastards.
"Hey Sasha, are you coming?" I looked to see Amy is already at the now opened door, waiting for me.
I did my best to shake off my thoughts and forced a small smile. "Right. I'm coming."
The walk to Tails's workshop was the same as last night; not that long. The only difference is that it was now day time so there were more people...I mean mobians...out than last night. Some of them looked at me as we walked by. I'm guessing they don't get that many visitors here. Instead of letting it get to me, I just shrugged it off. During the walk over, Amy decides to tell me about her "relationship" between with Sonic. For a relationship that doesn't exist, she sure does have a lot to tell.
Eventually, we make it to Tails's place. Amy knocked on the door. In only a few seconds, the door opens. Expecting to see Tails, Sonic is at the door instead.
"Sup girls?" Sonic said with his usually trade mark grin.
"Hi Sonic!" Amy squealed as she pulled Sonic into another one of her famous dreadful hugs.
Does Sonic really have to go through this every time he greets Amy? Pffft, I would run from her too.
"...Yea...nice to see you too Ames..." Amy smiled at him before releasing him and walking inside.
Sonic then turned his attention to me. "Hey Sasha. How ya doin'?"
I simply just shrugged my shoulders. "I'm alright."
"Cool. C'mon, I want you to meet the others." Sonic says as he motions me inside.
The others?
We walk towards Tails's lab and once we enter, I see Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and a couple of familiar faces that I have yet to see since I arrived here on mobius.
"Hi Sasha." Tails greeted me as soon as he saw me. "These are a few of our friends. This is Silver, Princess Sally, and Blaze (Author: We're just going to pretend that Silver and Blaze live here for the time being.)
I gave a small smile and wave to all of them. Sally was the first to approach me as she held out her hand. "You don't have to address me as princess. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Sally." I said shaking her hand.
"Ok, can we skip the introductions and figure out what's going on?" Knuckles said impatiently, with his arms crossed.
Everyone shot him a glare, including me.
"Must you be so impatient." Sally asked while rolling her eyes.
"Exactly." Amy said.
"Well, excuse me. Some of us want to get this over with before Eggman makes his next move."
Sonic only rolled his eyes. "Typical Knuckles."
Everyone sat down to start the discussion. Silver and Blaze sat in two fold-up chairs. Tails and Knuckles sat in two arm chairs that were facing across where Silver and Blaze were sitting. Amy and I sat down on the couch against the wall while Sonic sat between us.
Tails cleared his throat before getting to the matter at hand. "So Blaze and Silver, I asked you two to come today because I wanted to ask you guys to tell us what you know about dimension travel."
The two dimension travelers gave each other thoughtful looks before Silver replied. "Well, it's not easy. It requires a lot of power, depending on how distant the dimensions are from each other."
Sonic furrowed his eyebrows. "A lot of power..."
"The chaos emeralds, I bet." Knuckles growled.
Blaze then turned her attention to me. "What planet did you say you were from?"
"Earth."
"Yea. Earth is far from Mobius. So it would indeed take a decent amount of power."
"Then that mean Eggman's gotta be using be using those chaos emeralds." Sonic said.
"Well then. Let's go get them back." Knuckles said, standing up and marching to the door with determination.
"Wait Knuckles, we can't just jump into action like that."
"We need to come up with a plan first."
"I don't have time for that. It's best if I just go alone."
"Annnnd where has that gotten you before?"
Knuckles growled at Sonic's input.
"But Sally's right, Knuckles. We won't know what to expect." Tails said.
"Alright fine. But this better not take long."
"Pfft, when have you ever known me to take long?"Sonic said with a cocky smirk.
About 15 minutes later...
I'm so bored...I wish my phone wasn't dead so I could at least listen to some music.
It's been fifteen minutes since the group of mobians started calculating their plan for retrieving the chaos emeralds, or as they called it "Operation: Taking Back What's Ours." I was still sitting in my spot on the couch as I watched them converse. Apparently they don't need my help, so there's no point in even getting involved.
I released a small bored sigh as I leaned on the arm of the couch and rested my chin on the back of my hand. I gazed out at the sunset through the window, letting my thoughts flow through my head.
It's been a day since I've arrived here. How are things back home? Hell, I bet those bastards are living in total bliss without me there. Hmm...I wonder how Ma is taking things...She's probably losing it. And as for Angel and Anthony...oh man Anthony...
I was startled out of my weary thoughts as I felt the couch sink in the spot next to me. I whipped my head around only to see a smirking blue hedgehog.
Sonic's P.O.V.
It's been fifteen minutes since we been working on this plan to get back the chaos emeralds from Egghead. We're calling it "Operation: Taking Back What's Ours." I preferred "Operation: Cracking Eggs" but everyone thought it was "too cheesy."
"So once Tails has flown us inside, Amy you are going to-"
"Um, sorry to interrupt, but what are we going to do with Sasha during all of this?" Blaze asked, interrupting Sally's instructions.
"Yea, if she was brought here and experimented on by Eggman, he might want to experiment on her more and try to kidnap her again." Said Silver, sounding slightly worried.
Aw man, they're right. We can't put Sasha in danger.
"Hmm...you guys do have a point." I said.
"What do you guys suggest we do? Should we leave her here?" Sally asked.
"We can't leave her here by her self. What if something happens while we're gone?" Amy said worriedly.
"That's true. This means that one of us is gonna have to stay here." Blaze said.
"Hmph. Well don't expect me to babysit." Knuckles said, crossing his arms. I just rolled my eyes.
"Nobody was planning on it." Sally said rolling her eyes, too.
"Knuckles that was mean." Tails said, innocently.
"Whatever. I just don't want her getting in the way of me getting those chaos emeralds back."
"Don't you mean US?" Silver asked.
By this point, I started to tune everybody out and glanced at Sasha. She was still sitting in the same spot on the couch. She had her arm on the arm of the chair, while she rested her chin on the back of her hand. Her gaze was fixed on the window as she had a thoughtful expression on her face.
I should probably go check on her.
I walked towards the couch, while she her eyes were still fixed on the window. I sat down in the spot next to her. Apparently I caught her off guard considering she looked slightly startled by me suddenly sitting next to her. A smirk crept on my lips when I saw this. She whipped her head around with a slightly stunned look on her face, but relaxed when she realized it was me.
"Hey, what's up Sasha?"
"Oh...nothing really."
"Nice new like Amy took you on a little shopping trip today?"
"Ha, I think 'little' is an understatement. I never seen so many clothes in one day."
"Heh heh. Yup, that's Amy for you." Sasha gave a small chuckle.
Maybe it's just me when I say this but...I think Sasha is something other than shy.
"Do you miss being home back on Earth...?" Sasha eyes slightly widened at this before changing into a more serious expression.
"Well...I-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
"What was that?!" Amy exclaimed.
"Guys, I think we've got company." With that being said, I dashed outside while the others followed me in behind me.
I know exactly who's here.
Sasha's P.O.V.
I honestly didn't expect Sonic to ask me that. What should I even say?
"Well...I-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
Really?! More explosions?!
"What was that?!" Amy exclaimed.
"Guys, I think we've got company." I watched as Sonic got up and dashed out the door, while the others rushed after him. I also stood up and began to follow the other before two beings.
"Um, Sasha maybe you should stay here." Blaze said to me.
"Yea, it could be dangerous. At least here you would be safe." Silver said with a worried tone.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine guys. Im sure I can help out somehow." I had a look a certainty on my face.
There is no way I'm staying here like some useless damsel in distress.
Silver and Blaze both exchanged concerned looks before giving me nod. I returned the nod and we all headed outside with the rest of the group.
We managed to catch up with the others outside Tails' workshop and find everybody in a panic.
Beep! Beep! "Tails, do you read me?" A voice came from Tails's communicator.
"I read you loud and clear, Nicole. What's going on?"
"There was an explosion that took place right outside the wall of New Mobotropolis. It is most likely Robotnik."
"Ok, thanks Nicole. We will contact you when if we need back up." Tails replied before hanging up his communicator.
We all quickly made our way outside of New Mobotropolis only to come face to face with an army of robots lead by Eggman and Metal Sonic.
"OH HO HO HO! You're all finally here. I was beginning to think I would have to go in after you."
"I'd have to say the same for you. What do you want Eggface?" Sonic asked glaring at Eggman.
"Oh, nothing much really. Just hand over the girl and nobody gets hurt."
Not on your life, Eggman.
"Not a chance, Robuttnik!" Sally said as she pulled out her two swords in her arm guards (Author: Not quite sure what to call them :-/ ) and got into her fighting position.
"You'll have to get through us first!" Amy said pulling out her hammer and getting into her fighting position.
"This should be easy." Silver said with confidence before getting into a fighting position.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Silver." Blaze reassured Silver while getting into her fighting position.
"Nicole, we may need backup." Tails said into his communicator before getting into his fighting position.
I walked up next to Knuckles who was already standing in a fighting position.
"I don't suppose you can fight, do you?"
"Well, I guess we'll see won't we?" I said stretching my arms above my head before getting into a fighting position myself. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath.
Ok Sasha. I know it's been a while and you promised yourself you wouldn't fight again unless it was absolutely necessary. Well, that time is now...I just hope you're not too rusty.
"Ready guys?" I heard Sonic say.
I opened my eyes which are now filled with determination.
I'm ready.
"Robots...ATTACK!"
