Lost Memories Chapter 2: It's just a Dream Disclaimer: Ok you get the idea. I already said I didn't own them leave me alone.

Ed looked around. She was lying in grass, the sky was pitch black except for some stars that peeked through the clouds, and most strangely, too hedgehogs were leaning over her. The were whispering to each other, occasionally glancing down at her, then going back to the secretive chatting.

She squinted up at them through the darkness, then a small gasp escaped her lips. They both looked down at her surprised.

"Hey kid? You're ok." One of them said leaning down beside her, and then she could see who it was very clearly. It was a hedgehog with piercing emerald green eyes and he was almost completely blue. Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Oh my gosh. wha. what is going on?!" she said aloud, scrambling away from Sonic. "Hey? What's wrong? Maybe you aren't ok." The other one pointed at her. She looked carefully, coming to the conclusion that the other hedgehog was Shadow. "She's part hedgehog AND cat!!" he said, looking at her in disbelief. Sonic looked over her. "Yah. I didn't know there were any. weird."

Ed blinked. "What are you talking about?! I'm a human! A HUMAN!! Can't you tell the difference?! I don't even know how I got here!" she yelled, looking somewhat frightened, somewhat angered.

Sonic and Shadow looked puzzled. "Er. . .you don't. LOOK like a human." Shadow said slowly.

Ed paused then looked down at her hands, which now had black gloves on them, and her arms were a light bluish purple, the color that the streaks in her hair had once been. She also noticed she was wearing a black tanktop with a lime green streak through the middle, baggy black pants, and black sneakers. And the thing that must have shocked her the most is she had a cat like tail, the same color as the rest of her body was now.

"No! No no no no no! What is going on?! The last thing I can remember was that emer-" "Emerald? A chaos emerald???" they both asked before she finished her sentence. Ed paused then finally nodded. "I think that's what it was." she reached into her pocket and brought out the black emerald. "Yes! Score!" Shadow yelled, lunging forward to grab the emerald but Ed snatched her hand away. "Hey it's MINE. I found it fair and square." She said defensively. She wasn't sure why she was being so rude, but something told her she couldn't let them have her emerald. Shadow looked annoyed. "Sonic! Tell her that we need that emera- Sonic? Hey Sonic!"

Sonic looked like he was thinking hard, then finally looked up at Ed and said, "I know you. you're that kid that went missing. I dunno. 9 or 10 years ago!"

Now Ed looked confused. "Er, excuse me? Nine or ten years ago is when my family adopted me, but, I've NEVER lived here. In fact, this, this can't even be real! You guys are videogame characters!! You can't be real!! I bet none of this is real!! This is probably just a dream. That is the LAST time I play Sonic Adventure 2 Battle all night."

Sonic and Shadow looked puzzled. "Videogame characters? Woah, you are WAY out of whack." Shadow muttered. Sonic only shook his head and stood up. "Come on kid. Apparently lack of sleep must make you insane. Why don't you come with us?"

Ed stared for a moment suspiciously, then said, "If I come with you do you promise not to steal my emerald??" Sonic nodded. "Yah sure whatever you want." Shadow looked at Sonic like he was insane. "But Sonic we need the e- " Sonic elbowed Shadow in the stomach before Shadow had the chance to finish.

Ed stood up. "Fine, I'll come with you. What bad could it do? And as soon as I wake up, I'll be back at home in my bed."
