Chapter 1: The Blue Hedgehog


Mya Nicos Sophie the Hedgehog woke up in the Pink Diamond Hospital, on a
Sunday night, remembering everything. She was due to have a son or a daughter. A nurse
walked over to her hospital bed and said, "Well, Ms. , congratulations! Come and see your new son!"


Mya walked behind the veil next to her bed, followed by the nurse. A blue
hedgehog baby was lying in a cradle.

"Like it, Mya?" said John, her husband. "He's blue."

"Yeah," said Mya. "I noticed."

"That's very rare," said the nurse. "I haven't seen one of these ever since 25
years ago."

"It is?" asked Mya.

"Yup. Very rare. All of the ones I've seen chose an extraordinarily good path in
life."

"Well, it's nice to know that." Mya said and all of them laughed.

"I could have sworn all the boys were orange and all the girls were pink." said
John, indicating that all the boy and men hedgehogs were orange and all the girl and
female hedgehogs were pink.

"Didn't I tell you it was very rare?" said the nurse.

Suddenly Sonic(we will call him that for now, because that was the name on the
cradle, anyway) slipped out of the cradle and ran around the hall 2 laps.

"And they were extremely fast, too," the nurse added.

"OK. We'll stick with the name on the cradle," said Mya.

"Good. I don't have to spend all that time making up another one."

"You even make up the names?"

"Yep. Tipping is customary for the name, though."

"Tipping?" Mya laughed. "How much?"

"Oh, about 10 Rings."

"Here, take these." said Mya, handing the nurse 15 Rings. "You don't have to pay
us back, by the way."

15 Rings was very little for Mya and John, seeing as they had a very large
fortune, about 215 billion Rings.

"Thanks. I'll spend the extra 5 on a soda pop."

Mya laughed again. "We'll be seeing you around sometime!"

"See you around!" said the nurse, by way of a goodbye.

Mya and John made thier way through the hospital and to the exit, got into thier
HedgeVan 264, and went to thier home on Number Fifty-Five, Hedgehog Lane.
