CHAPTER 8
The next day, I was a bit more energetic then the day before. I began to create a sculpture of the sugarpom tree. (I have art classes every day) Everyone thought it was beautiful, but mistook it for a cherry-blossom tree, like the kind in Japan. I had to explain that this wasn't such a tree, and only then, did my friends begin to listen, to my tale that had taken place for so many nights. But, time was short, and I kept being interrupted. So, I continued to write.
That night, I once again drifted asleep, not exactly knowing what was going to happen.
"RRRRRRUUUUUMMMMBBBBLLLE!!!!!" A large lightning bolt woke me up. Except, there was no rain! It was sunny outside! I rubbed my eyes...
"SQUEAK SQUEAK!!!" The noise was awful!!! But there was nothing there making a squeaking sound. I looked around, confused. I was in the tree again. But there seemed to be no havoc making these noises anywhere! All of a sudden, a loud series of different noises came from all directions! Echoing of my ears!!
"SPLASH!" "RUMBLE!" "SQUEAK....."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA................" I let out a scream, waking Sonic and the others
MOLLY...WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" Sonic's voice echoed.
"Why are you screaming?!?!"
"I'M NOT...."
Knuckles looked at me. "OH MY........"
"NOW STOP THAT ALL OF YOU!!!!"
"MOLLY!!!!! MOLLY'!!!!! YOUR EARS!!!!!!" shouted Tails, except he didn't look like he was shouting. On the contrary, none of then looked like they were shouting. I felt for my ears..... they weren't there!!!
"WHAT THE?.....HELP!!! HELP!!! MY EARS ARE GONE!!!"
"UHH......NO THEY'RE NOT KID...... TRY HIGHER."
Sonic said this, as my hands began to crawl up my hair. I felt something fuzzy, that hadn't been there before. My hands continued to crawl in horror. I finally got to the top of the things, pointed, and yet, dull.... Tails handed me a mirror. Two ears sat peacefully on the top of the head. They were big, triangular, and black. They almost looked like.......
"CAT EARS?!?!?" I shouted almost in a cry. "CAT EARS?!?!?"
I was shocked! An unknown muscle pulled, and the two ears drooped, as cat ears do when they are sad. I grabbed them and looked at them from above. I could see about an inches' worth of each. Soon though, my hands became smaller, and my fingers, longer. I looked in horror, and pain, as the skin in between my fingers connected, and made a long piece as a whole. Then, without warning, one million pencils were coming out of my flesh, all down my arm (which was now turning white). I screamed in pain, as the things grew out of my arms!
Feathers! I was growing a set of wings!!!!
"HELP!!! HELP!!!" I shouted, as I ran around, frantically hoping someone would do something (kicking up a lot of feathers in the prosses).
Sonic walked over to me, as I skidded around everywhere. He grabbed me.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!! AND TRY TO REMEMBER, WHAT COULD HAVE DONE THiS TO YOU?!?"
"Well, after I washed Illu-HAAAW!"
I was surprised to hear a sound come from my mouth that wasn't mine. I clapped my wings over it in shock!
"HAAAW! HEE-HAW!!!"
"WERE LOSING HER, FAST!" yelled Sonic. "WE HAVE TO GET HER TO A DOCTOR!!"
A feather had gone up my nose.
"AAA-WAFOOO!"
A long spout of fire came bursting from my mouth! Sonic jumped out of the way quickly, but, I had lit the end of his stub tail on fire. He quickly put it out, and looked at me in shock.
I said "Sorry.", but it same out as another short "HAW!"
The three of them, (now very careful not to get near my mouth), picked me up, and quickly ran me down the tree, to about the third section of branches. Here, there was a door leading into the base of the tree. It had a small red cross over it. They got me in as quickly as possible.
It was a hospital! There were nurses everywhere, from many animated shows I had seen before. Sonic ran up to the counter...
(P.S.: I am now going to write this as it is, for if you heard it through MY ears, it would all sound like shouting.)
"We have to get my friend in, to see a doctor, NOW!!!" yelled Sonic.
The lady behind the counter though, was the same droning lady from Atlantis, (for those of you who have actually seen that horrible Disney flick). She was old, withered, and dull. She looked down at us and lifted one side of her lip, in disgust.
She drowned: "A blue hedgehog, red echidna, fox with two tails, and a girl with wings. What next?"
"What ja' say?!?" asked Knuckles, as he made a fist, threatenly.
"I don't respond to threats sir. Which one of you is the one with the condition anyway?"
"She is!" said Sonic, pointing to me.
"What's the problem?"
"This morning she was a normal, homo sapien! NOW look at her!"
"All I see is the wings and ears. Some kids wish for that kind of junk."
"Molly? Did you wish for this?!?" Sonic turned towered me.
"HAAW!" I shook my head.
"Well, take a number, and have a seat."
"Screw the number!!!" yelled Knuckles as he ran down the hall, looking for a doctor that wasn't occupied.
Sonic and Tails followed carrying me, as I felt a pain in a unmentionable spot, and grew a Pikachu tail.
We finally got into a doctor's room, Dr. Hibbert to be precise! (He's the one from the Simpsons).
"A-HE-HE-HE. Your friend looks bad. Very bad! No worries though... we're going to do a few tests on her, just to see what's wrong."
He picked up a needle.
"Now, this will leave you a bit drowsy....A-HE-HE-HE."
He punctured the needle into my flesh. The last thing I saw before passing out wasn't very encouraging. Dr. Scratch-and-sniff (from the Animaniacs), and one of the Happy Tree Friends (Wearing a doctors mask), wheeling me into the test room.
All went black.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"MMMMM?" I moaned and looked around.
"HAA HA!!" The Happy Tree Friend laughed with joy.
Doctors were standing over me. Many doctors. The ones I had mentioned before, plus some. That doctor from Courage the Cowardly dog that always says:
"YES! YES! VERY GOOD!", and a female anime doctor were the only two that had been added. Dr. Hibbert stood over me.
"A-HE-HE-HE-HE! Good news your not going to die!"
"Oh, that's just greaaaaat." I said, but it sounded, "HE-HAW-HEEEE."
The doctors wheeled me back into the room that my friends were in. Sonic looked up.
"Well?!? Is she o.k. or not?!?"
"She's better then o.k.! In fact, what she has is wonderful!!!"
"What?!? WHAT DOES SHE HAVE?!?"
"Nothing serious. She was just added a power, with magic!"
"By who?!"
"Maybe she can answer."
Everyone looked toward me. I quickly pointed one white wing to the other.
"Illum....." mumbled Sonic.
"The KING?!?! A-HE-HE-HE-HE! That's great! That means she got the whole coverage."
"The whole coverage of WHAT?!?" asked Knuckles, impatiently."
"All right. But you might want to sit down."
They sat.
"Illum gave your friend here the power of ani-transform. She can change into any animal, or imaginary animal she pleases, just By imagining it! A-HE-HE-HE-HE!......She could change back to herself right now!... If she wanted to."
Without question, I imagined myself, and gave a moan, for it hurt to lose the wings and ears. I ran to Sonic, and gave him a squeeze.
"OH SONIC!!! I WAS SO WORRIED!"
"O.K.... that's great. Get off of me, I can't breath......"
I let go, and looked at the doctor.
"So your saying, I can change into any animal I please, just by thinking it?!?"
"Yes. It is a rare power, given to the few that use it right. It will sting at first, but you'll get used to it. You can speak animal's tough now too, and know exactly what they're saying. Here's a guide! A HE-HE-HE-HE!"
A guide was given to me saying, "So, you can speak animal.."
"There is one catch though. People will be able to tell you from the real thing by one of the permanent scars on your body........try transforming, and we can locate it."
I tried thinking of some sort of animal I would like to become.
"I've got it!!!"
I thought....the pain grew. I closed my eyes, and huge mounds came piercing out of my back! Afterward, I heard Knuckles say, "Woah......that's freaky...."
I opened my eyes, to find my self about three feet shorter. I felt strange, and smiled, at a now gawking Sonic. My voice had changed. It was interesting.
"Your......Your.......ME!!!" Sonic gasped!
"Heh, ....got that right." I answered in the same tone.
"A-HE-HE-HE-HE!!! That's funny! O.K.....O.K....let's compare."
He stood me next to the real Sonic, trying to find a difference. "Let's see.......AHH! HERE!" He pointed to a strange brown stripe on my right glove.
I turned back to normal, my eye slightly twitching from the pain of having 8 spikes, and a stub tail go into my back. I looked at my finger. It was a strange, striped bruise underneath my pinky's fingernail, that had been there for 2 years, because someone had stepped on my hand uniquely.
"That's it?!?!? That's the one scar?!? THAT little thing?!? She could put her hand in a fist, and no one would be able to tell the difference!" said Sonic, now with the unpleasant idea that I could pass of as him with no difficulty.
"A-HE-HE-HE-HE!!! Yep! That's the scar!...NOW!!! Their still is the matter of the bill........"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"$500?!?!?!? JUST FOR A CHECKUP THAT WASN'T EVEN THAT SERIOUS OF A PROBLEM?!?!" Knuckles growled at the bill with rage.
Tails stood next to me, as he went up the trail. Going down a list of animals he wanted me to change into.
"Now do a cow! and a bear! and a Forborbian!"
I turned into a small goat-like creature with a rainbow pattern.
"That's not a Forborbian!!!"
"Well, what does one look like then? I've never heard of them...."
"I don't know...I just made it up to see what would happen!"
I rolled my eyes, as I changed back to normal.
Sonic had run ahead to the house to soak his head on a wet towel, he had claimed that This whole "Transforming thing" had given him a splitting headache.
I had an idea.
"Watch this !!" I shouted, as I turned into a small, blue, chao.
I had a set of cute pink wings, and had decided to flutter up near the top of the tree where Sonic was sitting in a lawn chair, with the towel over his head, delirious to all surroundings.
I fluttered up to him and said, "Hi!", but it came out as "Chao!" He lifted the towel, looked at me, and smiled.
"Where did you come from little guy?"
I landed at his feet.
"CHAO!!"
"You want something?" He kneeled down to my small height. "RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!"
In the blink of an eye I had changed myself into a black cougar, scaring the pants out of him!
"EEEEEEEEE!!!!" Sonic screamed like a girl, and jumped 15 feet backwards onto a nearby branch.
I turned back into my normal self, laughing, and rolling around on the ground hysterically. Knuckles and Tails ran up to us, out of breath. Knuckles spoke.
"I thought...I heard a woman's scream! Is everything... O.K.?!?"
Sonic quickly jumped down, not wanting to look like a coward.
"Everything's fine.....just fine!"
He rubbed his nose, and pretended like nothing had happened at all. I was nice, and did the same.

YEY!!! I love you guys! The last chapter, not only did I get two reviews, but I also ended up getting on two of your "favorites" lists too! You guys are great!
On another note, I might not be able to write for a while. They're trying to fix our cable at the moment, and it sometimes goes off for days without end, but I'll try to get my new stuff up, for all my stories, as soon as possible.
Like promised, I asked Sonic to answer your questions...
...and now for...
THE SONIC QUESTION-ANSWERING-THINGY-FOR, THE TRIP OF DREAMS!
(or the TSQATFTTOD for short)
Because of the "no script format rule"...
What Sonic says will look like this.
What Tails says will look like this
What Knuckles says will look like this
and what I said will look like this.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today's TSQATFTTOD is brought to you by MASH!!!
Mash...you make the word go round!
And.....heeere's SONIC!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Here we have a question from Nail Strafer!" (clicks on E-mail) "It says...
"Sonic, since you live in a land of anthropomorphic animals, does the meat for your hot dogs come from anthropomorphic pigs who can talk, think, and do stuff like you?"
"... uhhh ..."
Knuckles sneaks up from behind computer.
"WHATCHA' READING?!?!"
"AAAA!!....KNUCKLES!!! DON'T DO THAT!!...JEEZ! You know I have sensitive ears! Good grief!"
"Well...what is it?"
"Oh, something Molly gave me to read..."
Knuckles reads...
"HEY!!! THIS JERK SAYS THAT I'M A JERK! WHAT A JERK!"
"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS GUY!! ...AND PERSONALLY, I THINK HE'S RIGHT."
"WHAT JA' SAY?"
"...Anyway Nail Strafer, I'm not sure what hot dogs are made from,...especially the ones made here in town...all I know is that this guy wearing rags sells them on the side of the road, that's where I get mine, anyway. As for the anthropomorphic pigs and such, many of them are on the endangered species list now, for the fact that they've been mysteriously disappearing on all of the butcher tours...particularly talking cows...maybe they have a bad sense of direction, and get lost in the butcher factories?
(Takes a bite out of a nearby chili dog)
Anyway, I hope that answers your question.... Let's read the next email...
Tails walks up, curious...
Knuckles reads...
"Where do babies come from?!?"
"YEAH! Where do they come from?"
Molly runs up!
"NOOOOO!!! DO READ THAT QUESTION!!! IT WAS A JOKE! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
"Well, you see Tails..."
"NOOO!!! END THE STORY NOW!!!! END IT!!! END IT!!! QUICK!!!"

NEXT CHAPTER: Don't let the kids watch! The next chapter is a bit gory... a new member is also added to the team..."

OH! I almost forgot! 3 things...
To Daikonran:
I don't make house calls for one very important reason: Every person who enters this strange dream reality of mine find themselves trapped within it for nights and nights (I mean, look at me!! I've been dreaming a continuous dream for about a year now!!) Plus, allot of people here aren't exactly (a-him!) friendly...Look at Knuckles!!!
To all who read and wonder:
Yes, I do actually have that strange stripe on my right hand pinky. It's vertical, exactly 180 degrees, and light brown in color. I dropped my pencil on the floor of the classroom a few years ago, bent down to pick it up, and some idiot stepped on my hand. A few days later the scar appeared, and I've had it ever since.
To people who were just about to send me a law form:
I do not own Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Atlantis (like anyone would want to own it), that droning lady from it, Happy Tree Friends, Dr. Hibbert, The Simpsons, Courage the Cowardly dog (or that Dr...person from it), The Animaniacs, Dr. Scratch -&-Sniff, Pikachu, Disney, or any of the such

See ya soon!!!
