In this chap, there's one newbie. She is a thirteen years old, purple/blue cat,and wears nothing but a large baseball-cap and shoes. No misunderstanding, she looks no more nude than Sonic himself. Her ability is that she... well, I think that accually becomes quite apparent in the story. Her name is Aleksandra Delay, and she is from Australia. I tried to write her dialogues in an accent, but let's face it, my Australian sucks! Please don't flame me for that! If youare going to flame me, you will have to come up with something better. (That's not a challenge, repeat, not a challenge!)
Claimer: I do own Aleksandra Delay! Haha! (All the previous disclaimers still count, though. Don't want anyone to sue me, do I?)
Part 4, Enter Aleksandra
"Hay!" the girl shouted. "Blue thing!"
"If you mean me, then Hey!" "Sonic" said, stopping his sprint right in front of her. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! Who are you?"
("At least he remembered that much" Tails thought sourly)
"Eim Aleksandra Delay!" she said. "Big's little siss! Ya know Big, dontcha?"
"Yeah, you're that Australian girl I heard about, aren't you?" "Sonic" said. "I must say, you don't look much like your brother!"
"Yeah, I know! An Ei've seen you on the news! Saved the world quita few times, haventsha?" Aleksandra said.
"Yeeaaahhh" "Sonic" said. "A few! That's really not much to talk about though. I'll tell you who is the coolest! Have you ever heard of Shadow?"
(Tails shook his head in a very "what a jerk" kind of way)
"Uhm, noo, I..." Aleksandra said slowly, before remembering. "Yeah, It's that crazed guy who tried to blow up the world to 'venge his dead frisnd, wasn'tit?"
"..." "Sonic" said, glaring at a point right above Aleksanddra's shoulder.
"Hay, I saw ya runnin earlier, an you looked kinnda fast!" she said.
"Fastest one there is!" "Sonic" said proudly.
"Wanna race?" Aleksandra said excitedly. "We'll go from hea, an..."
"Hey, hey, hey!" "Sonic" said. "You, wanna race me?"
"Yeah"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah!" Aleksandra said. "We'll go from hea, an the first one to touch that tree ove ther, wins!"
"Okay!" "Sonic" said. "But don't cry when you loose!"
As the two started preparing for the race, excitement spread over the schoolyard.
"Someone's challenged Sonic to a race!" someone shouted.
"Talk about suicide." someone else answered.
Big, Aleksandras brother, was the only one who seemed to have any faith in her. He actually challenged Amy to bet 50 dollars, which she, thinking Big was just his usual, stupid self, did!
People gathered at the starting- and endingpoint, and all the way down the lane.
Aleksandra and "Sonic" found their marks.
Tails flew up over the crowd with a throwntogether microphone, which he had just made to comment the race, and a start pistol, which he had also just made.
"Aaaaand everybody is ready, for the Race of the Year!" Tails yelled over the cheering crowd. "The racers are: All the way from Down Under Australia, the beautiful feline whom I hope will accept my love and take me for a date, Sister of our dearest Big, Aleksandra Delaaay!"
(At this, Aleksandra blushed, and looked up at this kitsune with a puzzled expression)
The crowd cheered politely as this strange (and probably stupid, since you have to be stupid to challenge "Sonic" to a race, and, she was Bigs sister, after all!) cat found her mark.
("Did he say "Delay?" someone whispered. "Huh, nice name for a racer!")
"And, from this, very school, international speedking and hero, Sooonniiiic the Hedgehog!"
The crowd cheered higher than ever, as a veeeryyy confident "Sonic" also found his mark.
"And now, for the race. FOUR," The crowd joined the countdown. "THREE, TWO, ONE"
BANG!
As the pistol rang, both Aleksandra and "Sonic" disappeared.
Instead, there were to insanely fast rays of light, one purple and one blue.
The purple quickly left the blue behind, and crossed the finishline several nanoseconds before the blue one. (When you travel 200 yards at 1000 miles per hour, the differences don't have time to get very big!)
There was a collective gasp of surprise as "Sonic" fell to his knees in shock.
The schoolyard was completely silent.
"I... lost?" he whimpered in disbelief.
"He... lost?" The crowd echoed.
"Wait a minute!" "Sonic said. "I'm not supposed to loose!"
("He's not supposed to loose" the crowd answered)
"This cant be happening!" he whispered.
"Hay!" Aleksandra shouted. "I won ove Sonic, gimme some credit, hea!"
Then, the crowd cheered as one, though everybody was still in shock over "Sonics" loss.
"I... really... lost...?" "Sonic" said, but nobody seemed to notice him anymore.
Except for Amy. And, it would've probably been better for "Sonic" if she hadn't.
"YOU LOST AND YOU OWE ME 50 DOLLARS!" she screamed in blind rage, as she started beating "Sonic" into the ground with her hammer. She only stopped when Knuckles, Tails and Big gathered all their strength and dragged her off him, upon which she started attacking them instead.
Meanwhile, Pepper was having a really hard time. She felt as if she had already broken a rib, trying not to laugh.
(She hated Sonic, and even though she was dating the hedgehog now lying halfly unconscious on the ground, she thought it was Sonic, and for her, it was a hysterically funny fact that he had lost in a speed race.)
When "Sonic" (a.k.a. Shadow, who was really hurt by the fact that Pepper found his loss funny) looked up at her with a heartbroken expression in the face, she broke down in hysterical laughter.
"Sonic" looked down, where his face had made a shallow hole in the pavement, due to Amy's hammer. And there, halfway buried in the dirt, which was no longer there, (it now covered "Sonics" face) was the red Chaos Emerald.
An evil scheme suddenly erupted in "Sonics" head. He hid the Emerald in his quills, got on his feet and yelled:
"Hey, Aleksandra. Care for a rematch?"
Accually, I've pretty much written the next nine chapters, so my updates will come once a day (if I have access to internet, wichis notalways the case).The only reason why I don't just uppdate it all at once, is that I don't want to dump it all on you at once. Forgive me for that.
