They both woke up at the same time, though neither one of them knew it. They also woke up in places that surprised them, although one woke up in a strange place and another woke up in familiarity.

Sonic sat up, gasping for breath and in a cold sweat as he sat there. The room was warm, and all white. It reminded him of his first day on earth. He had a concussion, or something like that, and they sent him to...a...

"I'm in a hospital?" Sonic whispered, wiping his face from the sweat and looking around. It had the same windows, beds, and paintings he remembered. They must have put him in the same room as well as the same hospital.

But why? All that happened was he had a horrible dream where Robotnik crippled him. It was all a dream, right? All a dream!

Sonic fell backwards onto his pillow. Why was he in a hospital? Nothing made sense!

A nurse walked in, holding a clipboard and some cards, still unopened. "Why, hello Serin! I heard you had a nasty accident. Want to talk about it?" she asked.

"Why am I here?" Sonic replied.

"You broke both your legs. Actually, from what it says here, it was at an angle, so you're very lucky it didn't it your chest. You'd be dead right now if that was the case."

"Lucky me..." Sonic grumbled. So, instead of being completely dead, he was completely useless. What a tradeoff!

"By the way, I have some cards for you. You were out for a couple days, so I had to hold them from yesterday," the nurse explained.

She handed the cards to Sonic, who, after taking them, ripped off the seals to read them.

Each one was from a group of people. One was from Cody's class, one was from the principal and staff, another was from the Anderson family, and the last one was from his closest friends.

Each one said "Get well soon!", but, for Sonic to do that, he had to heal faster that ever possible. That, as is well known, is completely impossible!

"I heard you used to run really fast once. I also heard it was something like Sonic the Hedgehog. I love his games! Used to play them all the time. Then my brother went to collage and took them with him. I miss those games..."

Sonic shifted in his bed slightly, noticing how much like Amy was the blabbing of this nurse.

"I remember times when I'd try to sneak in a few levels before school. I got so good at the first levels, that it almost seemed impossible for me to loose any rings. Then I'd get to the later levels after school and loose every ring, life and continue I had. It used to drive my parents crazy. 'Sonic Fever', they called it..."

There had to be some way to get out of here! Sonic frantically searched his mind for the answer, knowing there had to be one somewhere!

"My brother even used to joke that he was sick with 'Sonic Fever' too, and he had to stay home. Especially if mom was shelling pea pods. He loved pea pods for dinner..."

"That's it!"

The nurse jumped at Sonic's sudden reaction. Basically, all that happened was Sonic remembered that, before Robotnik's creations were all robotic, he had a Rejuvenation Pod Room to heal the damages Sonic did. If Sonic could get back to Mobius, and inside Robotropolis, then he could use it to get his legs back!

Now, the only problem was getting there...
