Chapter One- Realisation.
Amy groaned as she sat up. She felt odd, though; she appeared to be sitting
on something squashy and furry. Panicking in case it was a small creature,
she stood up and looked down, and got the shock of her life. She had turned
bright orange. Twisting round, she saw two vivid orange tails wafting in
the gentle wind of the jungle. She took off at full speed towards the train
station. 'This is NOT good...' Tails bolted upright. He was in a clump
of bushes, just out of sight of the station. "I went a long way..."He
muttered. Then he paused. His voice sounded high. He gradually looked down.
"AAAH!" He yelled, over the whooshing of the train overhead. Luckily, no
one heard him over the roaring of the train. Glancing upwards, he saw
himself in the train, looking extremely worried. Then, he suddenly realised
something. 'Amy's a GIRL!'
Knuckles woke up somewhere in the jungle, panting. He groaned, and sat up. Something wasn't right. He was in the jungle. Sitting up. Wearing his... "WHAT?" He realised he was wearing Sonic's trainers. Comprehension dawned on him. He yelled words of unprintable obscenity for around five minutes or so, before growling, "Amy is so dead." and trudging off into the jungle.
Sonic woke up sore, near the entrance to the jungle. He started to rise up. Wait a minute; what was wrong with his hands? They seemed to be...spiked...and he was...red? "No. NO!" he yelled, and he to screamed for several minutes, before climbing the ladder and boarding the train. 'Oh '
Amy used up all the swear words she knew in her head on the journey from the Mystic Ruins to Station Square. The journey seemed to take forever to her, and she shifted impatiently in her seat, until the train, at long last, ground to a halt in the station. She dashed off the train as fast as she could. She wondered why she had selected to come here, but she realised all the others would do the same, so she was much more likely to find them here. 'Well, I guess I should wait in here. Say I'm waiting for someone if anyone asks. Uh oh...' She just realised-she'd have to ACT like tails, too!
Tails thought about it on the train journey. He had to be the one to exchange with Amy, didn't he? 'I told her she shouldn't have come!' he thought angrily. 'I TOLD her!' Well, at least he hadn't been swapped with a rock or something. Then again, maybe a rock was better than this. Then again, maybe not... He sighed with relief as the train pulled into the station. 'Perhaps Amy'll already be there. Oh, WHY did I have to swap with HER?' He got out and spotted her. He almost called her Amy, but switched at the last moment to Tails. "TAILS!" He called, and ran over to her and dragged her outside, where it was so loud that he hoped they wouldn't be overheard. "Amy! What the hell did you do?!" He asked her angrily. "Err, well, I just beat the machine with my hammer, and, ah-" "Lets wait for the others, THEN we can try and get this sorted out!" Amy sighed with relief. "Err, ok!"
Sonic sat through the journey scowling, hating everyone and everything. Luckily, he had a compartment to himself. He shifted around, and attempted to use his willpower to either speed the train up or derail it. Eventually, the train stopped, and Sonic pushed through the crowds until he got outside to where he had seen Amy and Tails. "Alright, which of you is which, in which body?" They didn't quite understand this, but they got the gist of it. "I'm Tails." Grumbled Tails, in Amy's body. "And I'm Amy." Snapped Amy, who was, of course, in Tails' body. At this, Sonic burst out laughing. "Shut up!" They both snarled in un-practised unity. Sonic immediately stopped laughing, but kept sniggering. In the end, Tails just got out Amy's hammer and whacked him. Sonic switched to sulking.
Knuckles was the only one who sat still on the journey, slumped in his seat. He, too, had a compartment to himself, and did not move or the entire hour of journeying. When he got out at the other end, he approached the others, looking extremely dangerous. "Amy, I am going to KILL YOU!" He roared, causing the others to clutch their ears and moan.
"Look, lets just get this, err, sorted out first" cut in Amy. "So, you and Sonic swapped-" Sonic and Knuckles shot her a nasty look "And-err-me and Tails swapped." Knuckles reacted just like Sonic-he burst out laughing, and didn't shut up for ten minutes.
"Well, I'm pretty sure Eggman would have mad an solution, in case he got hit with it! But I bet he locked t up, and we probably won't be able to get to it for a few days..." Tails' voice petered out.
"WHAT?!?!" Knuckles yelled
"WHAT?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN A FEW DAYS? HOW LONG IS A FEW DAYS?!?" Amy yelled.
"About...a week." Said tails timidly, wincing.
"Amy. If we ever get out of this, I'll rip your head off your shoulders." Sonic growled.
"Point taken. But don't forget, we'll have to be that person for a while, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, so try not to be OOC."
"OOC?" Sonic asked, frowning.
"Out of character. It means-oh, just act like the person you swapped with, okay?"
"I think I'm going to spend a lot of time indoors" Muttered Tails. 'I have to spend a week...as a girl? That's just WRONG.'
"Well, at least you two-" Amy pointed at Sonic and Knuckles, who had started laughing again, attracting stares-"get to stay you're same gender. If you don't stop laughing, I'll do a lot more than rip you're head off, an that's a promise!" They both shut up. 'This week is going to be, err, interesting, to say the least...'
