Well, as for the band name "The Unknown" won by a landslide, two to one… not a very steep landslide, but a landslide all the same. And thank you to all who reviewed. Let me apologize for the shortness of Chapter 3. It was in the original plan gonna contain a lot more, but I had only written that far and I wanted desperately to post something so I just put up what I had so far. Sorry! But here is Ch. 4, hope you like it!

I don't own Sonic or anyone else or much else other than that either. Not even the witch belongs to me; she is the enchantress from beauty and the beast.

The figure stepped into the light and the furries saw that it was a hunched over old crone. She was human, so she was taller than them, but because of her bent back she fit easily through the door of the workshop. The crone lowered her hood behind her head and the group was disturbed at her ugliness. Her nose was gnarled and crooked as though it had been broken many times and her face was lined with many many wrinkles. One of her eyes was squeezed shut as though there had been a terrible accident, she should wear an eye patch, was the general thought about her eye. Her lips were misshapen and didn't quite match up on the edges, perhaps she was born with a harelip. The point is she was a general picture of horrid ugliness.

"Eww," said Rouge.

"Yeah," agreed Sonic, "Eww is right."

Knuckles had visibly recoiled and Shadow had just stood there, Tails looked uncertainly around at all the others.

"I am here to offer you one desire, only one," she said after the door had swung shut behind her.

"One per person or just one for all of us?" Shadow asked her.

"There's more than one person here?" she asked, squinting with her good eye. "Oh, so I see there is, sorry about that, my vision is not what it used to be you know. Just be glad I'm not asking for shelter from the storm or you might end up as hideous as me, just like that bratty boy I visited in France, only went to take him his birthday present, I did."

"But there's no storm," said Knuckles bluntly.

"Oh," she said, "not used to performing in this kind of weather, I am. Well, do you want your desires or not?"

"Um… I guess we do, don't we?" Tails said questioningly.

"Yeah," said Sonic, "but what could a perfect guy like me want?"

"Be careful, young blue man!" said the old crone, "remember the boy in France! Be kind to old ladies who show up at your door!"

Sonic gulped nervously, "Yeah, um… anything you want lady, anything at all! Just don't make me ugly! Please please please!"

"Pathetic," Shadow scoffed.

"What did you say, Faker?" Sonic asked threateningly.

"Well why are you asking me what he said?" asked a very confused Threateningly. "I'm just a poor adverb!" And with that Threateningly walked out of the living room in a huff.

"I said you were pathetic. You're so obsessed over your looks, it's sickening."

"Say that to my face, Faker!"

"Oh, sorry, is that a face? It looks more like an ass," Shadow retorted calmly.

"Why did Shadow just call Sonic a donkey?" asked a confused Tails. Knuckles rolled his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at him, Knucklehead!" Rouge spoke up, "Just because he has a bigger vocabulary than you and actually knows that 'ass' has another meaning doesn't mean you can treat him like a child."

"I know what ass means, batgirl. You should know too given that you have such a big one!"

"How dare you!" she said, offended. "My ass is just the right size."

"Yeah maybe in Texas, batgirl, I hear everything's bigger there."

Meanwhile Shadow and Sonic were in an all out, physical, head bashing battle on the other side of the living room, Tails just stood there staring, mouth agape and the old crone watched the scene with some amusement. Suddenly there was a flash of light and many swirling colors and everyone stopped in their tracks to stare at it.

As soon as the lights and colors faded there was, standing in the doorway, a beautiful woman, with wavy silky golden hair, pale creamy skin like milk and peaches, piercing blue eyes, and a gilded pastel green gown.

Sonic's eyes went as big as saucers and his mouth dropped open, Shadow sneered at Sonic.

Knuckles' mouth went slack and his eyes glazed over, Rouge looked at him like a piece of gum on the bottom of her shoe that she'd been meaning to scrape of yesterday but somehow forgotten.

"Good," the woman said, "glad to see you've all stopped fighting. As you can see I am really an enchantress, not an ugly old crone, though I often disguise myself that way, I find the reactions I get extremely funny. And I love to see the mothers steer their children away from me." She stopped to laugh heartily.

"You. Are. In. Sane," said Sonic.

"You would think that way, wouldn't you, Sonic?" she asked rhetorically. "You, who are so obsessed over looking cool, being awesome, and having tons of people clamoring for you to save the world again. You can't understand the humor of how insane we all are. You are just a self absorbed brat, maybe you should try looking ugly for a change." Then the enchantress waved her hand and Sonic was transformed into a hairless blue Chihuahua. Rouge laughed loudly while Sonic panicked and ran into the bathroom, his screams were heard for miles around. A second later Tails ran in to the bathroom presumably to calm Sonic down.

"It suits him," Shadow said, amused.

"Actually, I agree with Sonic." said Rouge, when she was finished laughing, "Why would you want to look ugly?"

"Oh, another one obsessed with looks and reputation," the Enchantress said quietly. "But you are so spoiled, aren't you? Let's see, you like jewels, huh?" The Enchantress seemed to be looking into Rouge's head, "Ooh, I love all these mind reading powers, don't you wish you had them?" she asked Rouge, "I also love your hidden stash of Gems and Crystals."

"Hey, stop reading my mind!" Rouge called out.

The Enchantress continued, "You're so spoiled, let's see what happens when you don't have what you want." She waved her hand again and said, "You're stash of gems and jewels has been scattered across the world in various museums and jewelry stores."

"OH MY GOD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME! YOU-"

A little while later, Rouge had calmed down, though she was now sitting on the couch with an icepack to her head (Tails had brought it to her when he heard her scream, and then rushed back to Sonic who was whimpering now) and a vacant expression on her face. She kept muttering things like 'no', 'it can't be', and 'all my beautiful jewels'.

"Well, that's done," the Enchantress said.

Knuckles was in the same place he was before, the only difference was that now there was a string of drool hanging out of the corner of his mouth. The Enchantress noticed this and looked at Knux with wry amusement.

"You look really ugly when you drool with that vacant look on your face," she said bluntly. "And you should really stop looking at my chest, it bothers me a bit. I know what I'll do!" she said enthusiastically, man was this woman sadistic! She waved her hand again and suddenly Knuckles' mouth was pulled tight, lips firmly sealed together. He started, shocked and scrabbled at his mouth.

"Mmm… mmh mmm hmm m hmh!" He 'm'ed.

"That's better, none of that gross drool around." The Enchantress brushed off her skirt and smiled to herself, then glanced around the room.

Shadow was standing near the corner of the room smirking at Knux, still flailing around trying to get his mouth unstuck. Knuckles ran into the kitchen, the sound of cutlery clinking was heard and then a scream of pain, muffled behind his closed lips, ripped through the day and brought a spasm of chuckling to Shadow. The Enchantress turned toward Shadow,

"You are the only one left of your friends, they have all had mishaps of some sort, except the small orange one, he's just silly. (Because caring after a blue hairless Chihuahua isn't a bouquet of roses, trust me, I'd know)" she said the last sentence through the corner of her mouth.

"They aren't really my friends, and those weren't mishaps, those were sweet punishments."

"You liked them then?" she asked.

"Oh yeah, loved em! Nice to see the idiots get what they deserve," Shadow was still smirking.

"In that case, you're my new favorite!" she said happily, "What was your name?"

"Shadow the Hedgehog, Ultimate Life Form."

"Well, Shadow. Since I like you and because you are the last one left, you get a wish. Anything your heart desires!" she spread her arms dramatically indicating the word 'anything' really meant anything.

"Okay, but can I have two?"

"What?"

"Can I have two wishes, please?" he begged, making big shiny puppy dog eyes. The Enchantress melted,

"Oh, of course you can!"

"First, I'd like the silver and red sparkly Jackson with a wamybar that I saw in the window of the electronics store yesterday, please?"

"Your wish is… oh, cut the crap," she said tiredly, "here it is!" The Enchantress pulled out from under her cloak the very same guitar that Shadow had wanted so bad and handed it to him with care. Shadow handled it with reverence and cradled it in his arms as he looked up to the Enchantress with shiny eyes.

"Thank you," Shadow managed to squeak out.

"Are you going to use up your second wish?" she asked.

"Yeah, I wish us all, Rouge, Knux, Sonic and Me, were amazingly and automatically great at our instruments!"

"Your wish has been granted, dear Shadow. And please don't hesitate to stop by someday soon, you know you're my new favorite," she said, giving him a sly wink as a cloud of colored smoke rose around her, when it dissipated she was still standing there, but now her hair was lank and her face was sour. "I hate what this smoke does to my hair," she grumbled as she left through the door. Shadow looked at her for a moment then plugged in his guitar and suddenly started an amazing improvised riff that rocked the ground within a mile of the Workshop. Knux crawled into the living room from the kitchen, his lips red and bruised, Shadow put down his guitar.

"Finally got them open?" he asked, smirking.

"No, they just came loose a minute ago," he said sourly.

Tails came out of the bathroom and Sonic followed, looking like his normal self, instead of the blue hairless Chihuahua he was before.

"He just turned back a moment ago," Tails explained to everyone, "good thing too, I couldn't have stood his whining much longer," he muttered.

"What?" Sonic asked.

"Nothing," Tails said innocently.

"Hey, Shad! You got your guitar!" Sonic said.

"Yeah, I wished for it and some mad skillz for all of us. We should be able to play perfectly now." General thanks or amazed muttering were heard. Rouge had recovered from shock and sat up,

"So Shadow, what was your plan to get the money for the guitar? You know, before you wished for it? You seemed really excited about it."

"Yeah Shad, what was it?" Sonic asked, bursting with curiosity.

"Selling Girl Scout Cookies," Shadow said, with a goofy smile on his face."

---There we go, I wonder if it's long enough to be a chapter? I'm getting tired of labeling things like half chapters so this'll just be a short chapter, kay? Hope you guys like it and remember to read, review, and recommend!

Love,
