Author's notes: When I refer to Tails, I mean Tails in Sonics body. And when I refer to Sonic, I mean Sonic in Tails body. Confusing I know. Well enjoy

Chapter 2 - Swapping places

Sonic awoke in a Hospital bed. Still with his eyes closed and lying perfectly still. Tails then opened the door and approached the bedside.

"Hey, Sonic how are you feeling?"

"Not bad. I had the strangest nightmare, I dreamed that Robotnik destroyed a town, and then we somehow switched bodies ..."

"Robotnik did destroy a town, and we have swapped bodies." Tails said laughing a little. Sonic opened his eyes and saw Tails voice coming from his own body. He then whipped the covers off his bed and saw he was in Tails body. "What the hell? It wasn't a dream!"

"Sonic calm down, losing it never got anyone anywhere."

"But damn! I've switched bodies for god sake! I'd say this is a perfect time if any, to flip out!" Sonic jumped out of bed and landed on his feet. "Whoa!" He then fell over.

"Yeah watch that first step."

"It's these tails of yours, I mean mine, I mean ... god! Why did this have to happen?"

"(Wow I've never seen Sonic flip out this much before, I better leave him alone.") Tails then began walking towards the door.

Sonic still laying flat on his chest, raised his hand towards Tails, "Hey where are you going with my body!"

"Listen to your self, you need time to think about this."

Sonic tried to get back up but he fell over again. "ARGH!"

Tails left the room and locked it. "You can't leave me in here, LET ME OUT!"

Star walked down the hall and noticed Tails locking Sonics door. "So I guess he didn't take the news so well then?"

"Heh, heh. That's an understatement, he totally flipped!" He raised his hands into the air, "Really, I have never seen him this crazy before."

"He will get over it."

Tails snickered. "You don't know Sonic like I do ... Well we can check up on him in a few hours. By the way, I haven't seen Balrog around where is he?"

"Where do you think?"

"The bar?"

She pointed at Tails "Bingo! Got it in one."

"So does he know that we switched bodies?"

"Yeah he does, I told him and after he stopped laughing, I slapped him." Tails laughed.

"Well we might as well go see him since we have a few hours before we should even think of checking on Sonic."

Star and Tails walked down the hall and to the right. And entered the bar. (Hmmm does a hospital have a bar?) "Hey Balrog how are you?" Tails asked.

"Not bad." He started laughing, "That voice coming from Sonics body ... That isn't right."

"It's cool, I can run so fast now. Check this out, look out your window. "Tails dashed out of the bar and through the halls of the hospital. He then exited the building and ran back up to the bar. "I'm back, did you see me?"

"Yeah that was fast, but why do you have burses?"

"I sort of ... haven't got used to running fast, so, I kept bumping into stuff."

Star and Balrog both laughed

Then the gang heard a crash outside. They looked out of the window and saw Robotnik. "Great, of all times of that lard ass to show up! Whoops I didn't mean to say that, it kind of popped out." Tails put his hand behind his head.

"Come out now! Or I will destroy this town!"

Further down the hall where Sonic was. The door got smashed down and Sonic came running up to where the gang was standing "We have to smash him up again!" Sonic shouted.

"Nah we can't, not like this. I can't run properly and you can't even fly."

"Sure I can." Sonic twisted his twin tails and hovered for a few seconds then fell to the ground. "That was just a warm up!" Tails shook his head.

"You have 5 minutes! Then I'm going to destroy this town!" Robotnik was hovering above the hospital.

"We have to go." Tails said.

"But you cannot win!" Star pointed out.

"We have to try, if we don't, Robotnik will destroy this town. There's more to been a hero then knowing you're going to win, sometimes you have to lose."

"2 minutes!" Robotnik shouted.

The duo waved. Sonic and Tails got onto the roof "Nice of you to come." Robotnik laughed. Then a bunch of robots dropped from the sky and landed on the roof. One of the robots captured Sonic quite easily. Tails managed to dodge them for a few seconds but it was all in vain as they captured Tails and chained him to Sonic.

"Wow that was easy, back to the base!" Sonic and Tails were now captured and Star and Balrog looked on with horror.

The duo got back to Robotniks base and he threw Sonic and Tails into an empty cell. "Have fun rotting!" Robotnik laughed and he left. They were underground in a dark dingy cell. There were around 20 Jail cells. 10 on each side of the room. The cells weren't closed off they were just bars so you could easily see everyone who was in each cell.

"Well, if it isn't my old friend Sonic the hedgehog ... How have you been?" A red Echidina asked in the cell next to the duo.

"Ummm, hi Knuckles how are you?" Tails said.

"Not bad pal but this cell really isn't me you know what I mean!" Knuckles joked

"Umm yeah"

"What's wrong with you Sonic? You're not your self."

"Oh! I just hit my head and well, you now ..." Tails tried to hide the fact that he wasn't really Sonic.

"Well can you try your homing attack on the bars?"

"I ummm can't ..."

"What do you mean you can't?"

"It's a long story ..."

"I got time, please tell."

Tails paused "We swapped bodies ..." Knuckles jaw dropped.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, would I lie?"

"Well Sonic might but Tails wouldn't ... I guess I'll believe you."

Then some guards entered with a new prisoner and stuffed him into the gang's cell. He was twice the size as the duo. He had scaly skin, Wings and could breath fire. (Yes a Dragon) The duo stood back as the Dragon approached them thinking he might burn them to a crisp. "Hey guys, my names Draco." The duo didn't now what to think about his nice attitude. I mean Dragons are usually vicious creatures why is this one been so nice? Is he trying to catch the duo off guard?

"Ummm my name is Sonic, and this is my partner Tails." Tails said. Sonic eyed Tails.

"Nice to finally meet you guys. Sonic you rock, I hear about you all the time smashing up robotnik's robots and saving lives." Draco said

"Well to be honest I'm not really Sonic we swapped --"

"Don't Tails! We don't need to tell anyone anything" Sonic said

"Tails? But that's Sonic isn't it?" Draco looked confused.

"Well we might as well tell him." They told Draco everything, how they smashed up Robotnik's robots and how they swapped bodies and got captured.

"Wow, that's terrible how are you supposed to turn back to normal?"

"To be honest we really have no idea. But the first thing on our agenda is to escape." Sonic said.

Knuckles butted in "How could you guys lose to Robotnik?"

"We already told you, we swapped bodies you have no idea how weird it feels it's like trying to walk all over again." Tails said.

"Yeah well, escaping this place isn't going to be easy, there are cameras everywhere and all the exit's are think metal doors also there are --" Draco was cut off.

"Ok we get the idea!" Tails shouted

Draco wondered over to a wall and collapsed into a sitting position and looked up at the ceiling. "I wonder what they want from us."

"We are here as slaves, or didn't you read the fine print when you applied for this place?" Sonic joked.

"You ok sitting there Draco because there is only two beds (bunk beds)."

"It's cool"

"I get the top bunk!" Sonic shouted.

"Whatever ..." Tails really didn't feel like messing around as he usually does. Something was wrong with him. Usually he gets hyper around Sonic but ... this time it was different.

"What's wrong Tails?"

"I don't now ..." Tails laid down on the bed. ("How does Sonic manage to sleep with these sharp quills"?)

Sonic could hear Tails moaning. He leaned over the side of the top bunk. "Oh I'd sleep on your side for obvious reasons." Sonic pointed out.

Tails looked up at sonic who was leaning over the edge "Yeah good idea, thx" Tails managed to fall asleep despite all that had happened. But sonic on the other hand just couldn't stop thinking about everything. Why and how they got into this mess, What was going to happen to him, did Robotnik drop that device on purpose because he new Tails would pick it up? And why help all these people I mean it isn't a job it doesn't pay

"(Argh, why am I thinking so much") Sonic stared over at Draco who was fast asleep, he then focused his attention at everyone else in the cells "(Damn ... Everyone is fast asleep and I'm the only one awake STOP THINKING.") Sonic sighed.

The following morning

Tails woke up stretching out his arms and legs he got out of bed and looked around, everyone was still asleep, he looked up to see if he could see Sonic, there eyes met.

"Oh you're already awake?"

"I never fell asleep."

"I had the best sleep of my life! I just put my head down and that was it."

"Yeah well I just couldn't stop thinking my mind was like thinking at 300 miles an hour if that makes any sense."

"I used to be like that until we swapped bodies, it would take me like 3 hours to fall asleep," Tails thought for a minute, "I just got a strange thought."

"What's up?"

"Well I think our personalities are melding together ..."

Sonics eyes opened wide "You mean soon I will act more and more like you and then I will permanently be Tails?"

"I think so but I'm not sure."

"Let me go through this again ... so once our personalities meld, I won't be Sonic no more?"

"That's right." Tails looked down at the floor.

Sonic jumped out of bed and grabbed Tails shoulders. "Listen, I can't be Tails I want to be Sonic! This cannot happen! I like who I am." Sonic eyes started to tear up and he then put his head on Tails shoulders and silently sobbed.

"I know ..." Tails patted Sonics head he then realized he was doing something Sonic would do. "It's starting, we need to get some answers, and we need to escape!"

Sonic took his head off Tails shoulders and stood up straight rubbing the tears from his eyes he sniffed and walked back to the bunk bed and laid down.

"(Before today is over we will find the answers we need from Robotnik himself!") Tails thought
