So there.
Anyway, enjoy.
One sunny Saturday, a young teenage girl walked along a forest path. She was carrying a suitcase and backpack, singing to herself 'It Doesn't Matter', Sonic's theme from SA2 to herself. This girl, whom you would never guess from her up-beat attitude, is an orphan. Her father, Shigure, died of an illness when she was only 8. Her mother, Kyoko, perished in a car crash when she was 12. Three years since, she had been adopted into a new family, the family of her younger friend, Andrew, though he prefers for her to call him 'Lite'. Any other friends, you may ask? Largo, only a year older than her, is a talented person when it comes to computers. But when certain 'things' happen, he will tend to go crazy, apparently using his tech to build weapons in order to capture 'zombies', that are innocent ravers. Another, Chihiro Kendo, who they all refer to as 'C.K.'. Youngest of three children, she came from Japan to America to meet her pen pal, which was this girl. C.K. can be very sweet, but can also get very mad at things. Usually resulting in her breaking a broom in the process of banging it over Largo's head. She also said that her family roots have said to go back so far, that she might be 50 witch and 50 wiccan. Sure, this girl could've got better friends. But she liked her's just they way they were.
Seeing a house in the distance, the girl picked up her pace and started to run. She was running to her old home, the one that belonged to her father. She was going to stay there for a few weeks, just to relax. Her step-brother and friends were coming later.
'I have to hurry,' she thought, 'or I'm gonna miss Sonic X!' As you can see, this girl is a fan of Sonic The Hedgehog. She had grown up with him, so Sonic was permanently glued in her brain. In fact, she and all her friends were fans, each with a favorite character. For Lite and Largo, there was Tails. For C.K. and the girl, there was Knuckles. She had seen every episode of the first season, owned nearly every game and DVD, and was a member of one of the largest Sonic fan sites yet.
Obsessed? Maybe, maybe not.
Butfor her, it was natural. Perhaps too natural. She had always imagined what it would be like, to enter Sonic's world. She had even made a design of herself there. Instead of her long black hair with a sky-blue high-light, she had sky-blue hair that reached at least to the center of her back. She would be wearing her current clothes, a blue sleeved-white shirt with a light blue heart in the middle, plain blue jeans, andblue shoes that looked like Knuckles' and Amy Rose's put together. She wasn't a hedgehog, or an echidna for that matter. She was a combination of the two, so she gave herself one emerald eye and one violet eye, and her hands had spikes but you could still see her fingers. Not to mention she would have a pair of great eagle wings on her back.
The girl chuckled chuckled. She always loved when she told her mother about that. When her mother asked with she didn't just decide to be just a hedgehog or just an echidna, she always answered: 'Because I don't think that Sonic and Knuckles have to fight all the time. Sonic can be a real jerk to Knuckles because he doesn't understand how important his job is, and Knuckles is jealous at Sonic because he has more freedom than he does. I think if they both take some time to understand each others situations, things might just be different!' Her mother then chuckled and said 'Little Airie Keys. My little Key Of The Twilight.'
Some distant caws snapped Airie back to reality. The crows that she befriended along the years had stopped her before she ran into the door of her house. She laughed at herself. "Thanks guys!" she cried to them. They cawed a 'You're welcome!' and flew off. Airie took the keys out of her Inu-Yasha backpack and unlocked the door. She dropped the suitcase and ran for her room. She was not going to miss Sonic X this week. When she turned on the T.V. to 4Kids. But the energetic smile on her face didn't last long.Herjaw dropped,her eyes wide with horror. Without warning she went over to her desk, sat down in the chair, and began banging her head on it. Why?
"That's right!" the announcer guy yelled. "Sonic X is now airing at 8:00! Now back to Winx Club!"
That would be why.
According to the clock in Airie's room, it was 9:30. When Sonic X should have been on.
"Damn 4Kids!" She yelled. "This never would have happened with Fox Box! The stinkn' pixies wouldn't have come and then try to take over Cartoon Network! They wouldn't have dubbed Tokyo Mew Mew into that crappy Mew Mew Power! They wouldn't be trying to ruin One Piece, Magical DoReMi, and all other innocent manga and anime in the world! I swear if it's the last thing I do I'm going to bomb the 4Kids HQ!"
The moral of that little outburst? Never mess with a fifteen-year-old otaku and her anime.
Regardless, Airie took her laptop out of her backpack and logged on. She went to the one site that would calm her down: her own. The site that she made was just her own online Sonic comic. She needed to scan the next part anyway. (A/N: The last part was when Knuckles followed Rouge around on a motorbike wearing a 'Happy Veggie' suit.)
Right when she was about to warm up the scanner, she saw something blue dash outside. Airie held her breath. She saw it again. Whatever it was.
She grabbed her backpack and stuffed into it her laptop, notebooks, cell-phone, and a camping tent for when she sketched outside. She wasn't sure why, but she put on her pack and opened her window. The blue thing was hanging around a tree with a swing tied on its branches. She jumped out of her window and landed safely on the ground. She walked closer to the blue thing, but she blinked and it was gone. 'There's no way...' she thought.
She heard something behind her. The blue thing charged right at her, and Airie blacked out. At least it seemed that way.
Airie had some sort of dream. She was falling, but it didn't feel that way. Her body was changing, becoming smaller but stronger in a way. Her feet and hands grew bigger. Her nose turned into a muzzle. Her ears grew pointed. And something came out of her back. She turned to see what it was. All she could see…was a pair of sky-blue wings…
The dream ended, and now it really felt like she was falling. She screamed, what else could she have done? Airie looked down, something red was beneath her, moving. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" she cried. The red creature didn't see her till the last second. Airie landed on top of whatever it was. Dust came up from the ground and blocked her view. The creature, apparently a guy, said in a deep voice, "Hey, can you get off me now?" "S-Sorry…" Airie stammered. She couldn't see through the dust so she tripped over and landed next to a small puddle. As she looked at her reflection, she forgot to breathe.
The face staring back at her was sky-blue, with pointed ears, long hair that reached to the middle of her back, and a muzzle. Behind the face were to eagle wings. The eyes staring back at her-one emerald, one violet.
"Are you okay?"
She looked up to the voice of the guy who she fell on. Red dreadlocks, spiked hands, white mark on his chest, and a pair of large violet eyes staring right at her.
Airie Keys was meeting Knuckles The Echidna, face to face.
So, what d'cha think of it so far?
R&R people!
