Chapter 2: A Brilliant Plan Indeed
The two hedgehogs were still at their apartment, still obviously turned into girls. Shadow waited for Sonic to come out of the shower. She said that taking a quick shower would probably calm her down after what's happened to them. 'Guess he's not as tough as he leads on,' Shadow thought with a sigh.
After about thirty minutes (is that how long girls take to get ready?) Sonic finally stepped out of the bathroom, fully dressed and an uncomfortable look on her face. "That… was a lot weirder than I thought it'd be," she said, obviously still not comfortable with her new womanly body.
As the two "girls" got ready to head out and search for the cause of their troubles, Nikki/ Sonic felt the need to explain the plan to Nights/ Shadow.
"Allright 'Nights', in order for my AWESOME plan to work we need to remember what we did before this happened starting with you. Did you do anything weird or interesting on your date with Nebula?" Nikki asked.
"Nothing really. I just took her to a goth store that she seems to like, but I doubt anything happened to to transform me, and in turn you, into girls."
"Welllll….it wouldn't hurt to check it out. Lets go."
Nights sighed, reluctant to return to a place that that had such weird accessories and sometimes even weirder people. "Fine, but there's no way I'm letting anyone out there see us on the street,' she said as she took out her green chaos emerald.
"Got it."
"Allright, CHAOS CONTROL," with that, Nicki and Nights teleported to the store, 'Flaming Subjects', hoping to find some sort of clues.
(Meanwhile)
Amy was at home in her kitchen, making breakfast for her two roommates. As she finished up her work at the stove, her roommate Nebula walked in. Nebula was a blue-violet hedgehog who had long hair tied into a ponytail, with two bangs on each side of her face. She wears dark blue jeans with a gold studded belt, gold studded wrist-bands, and a black T-shirt. Despite her thin figure, she had an immense inner strength and enough martial arts skills to earn Shadows respect and love.
"Hey Nebula," Amy greeted.
"Hey Amy, what's up?" Nebula asked casually.
"Feeling great, how about you?" she said.
"Same as always," Nebula responded.
"That's good, say would you like some eggs and bacon?" Amy asked.
"Sure, I'm getting hungry anyway" said Nebula.
"Do I smell breakfast?" asked a third voice. It was Nebula's sister, Selene, a black hedgehog who had her hair in a ponytail just like Nebula, but had some bangs covering her right eye. She wears black jeans with a magenta lines on the sides, black and magenta T-shirt, and a sliver necklace along with Nebulas gold studded accessories. She also happened to be slightly shorter than Nebula and perhaps more muscularly built. She walks into the kitchen to greet her two roommates at the table.
"Hey Selene" they greeted.
"Mind if I joined you two?" Selene asked, perhaps a bit too formally considering she was talking to her best friend and sister.
"No, not at all." said Amy as she smiled at Selenes overly kind nature. A few moments later, Amy started serving breakfast while they started a conversation about Nebulas and Amys dates. Though Selene had a boyfriend of her own, she was always interested to hear about her friends and their boyfriends. She and Adam largely lived their own lives together, but her friends love-lives were normally very interesting as they always had a new story or adventure to tell.
"So…..how was your date yesterday with the boys? Did they ask you to marry them?" she teased. Nebula and Amy's faces started to blush madly after what she said.
"SELENE!" they shouted.
"I'm just kidding" she said laughing. Nebula sighed at her sister's antics.
"Don't get us started Selene, just eat your breakfast before it gets cold," said Nebula. Amy and Selene did as she told and started to eat from their plates, idly chatting about the previous day's events. A few minutes later , Amy thought of something to fill in their day.
"Hey girls, do you want to hang out with me at the mall?" Amy asked.
"Oh, did they just open that new mall in town?" Selene inquired.
"Yep. It opened a few days ago. You should REALLY check it out! Sonic took me there on our date yesterday. He really knows where to take me to make me happy." Amy said with a dreamy look in her eye.
"Eh, I don't know Amy," Nebula said, holding her chin up with her arm on the table. "To be honest, malls aren't really my definition of fun."
"I know but its really cool in there. They have a lot stores with all sorts of different stuff. I'm sure they'll have something you'll like. I'm sure they even have some goth stores, maybe even a Flaming Subjects."
"That sounds like fun!" Selene interjected.
"Totally" Amy responded.
Nebula nodded her head in understanding, her interest slightly perked at this new experience. "Well…alright. It does sound interesting. We'll go but you better not be lying" said Nebula.
"Great! And no, I'm not," Amy protested
(Back to Nicki and Nights, who are investigating the "Flaming Subjects")
"Did you find anything odd around here Nicki" Nights asked.
"Nope, not at all…except for some weirdo making out with a mop." Nikki said in disgust. "I swear, these places have the creepiest people."
"You're telling me. Now I have phone numbers to burn." Nights crushed the written on, sweat covered piece of paper in her palms. She then noticed that Nikki was holding a bag from the store, filled with god-knows-what. "Hey, what're you carrying inside that bag?" Nights asked pointing the bag in question.
"Oh, this? When I was searching around, I came across some eye contacts and makeup products the store was selling and I thought if we wear them there will be a smaller chance of anybody noticing who we are. So I bought them..." Nikki explained.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? There is no way I'm wearing ANY stupid makeup products or eye contacts!" Nights yelled.
"Nights we have wear to them or things will get complicated sooner or later. I understand you hate the idea of wearing makeup and eye contacts, so do I, but nobody cares because we're girls."
"Still I'm not gonna wear them!"
"May I remind you if our friends see our faces like this.*pointing at her face* I'm pretty sure it's not going take them long to figure out who we really are. I mean think about it, would you like to be humiliated by them?"
"…..."
Nights was silent. She never thought their friends might laugh at them though. She always figured they would never do that, but then again, she did remember Gamer pulling some embarrassing pranks on them previously. As it turns out, some of Nebulas and Sonics friends could be… less than mature. Though she didn't want to talk about it, Nikki does have a point.
"Well?"
Nights sighed "Fine but when this is over NO ONE must hear about this, not even from you, or else! Is that clear?"
"You have my word. Lets go to the girls' restroom to put on some makeup and eye contacts," said Nikki.
"Ummm….I'm not too sure about that," Nights said nervously.
"Why not?" Nikki asked.
"Don't you think its embarrassing to go in there. I mean, we've never been to a girls restroom before, for obvious reasons. I don't like evading girls' privacy"
"Don't worry, we're just gonna put on some makeup and eye contacts and get out of there as fast as we can when we're done. Are you okay with that?"
"Sounds good to me….I guess"
"Alright, lets do this" said Nikki.
(20 minutes later….)
Nicki and Nights were out of the girls' restroom in a quick dash, blushes on their faces and trembling around their bodies, obviously traumatized by whatever they saw in there.
"Oh my god! I was right, it really was embarrassing," Nights stated.
"Embarrassing? I would say horrifying if you ask me," Nikki said.
"Why would they say such…"
"It's only weird if they said that in front of guys!" Nikki interjected, clearly not wanting to talk about… whatever happened in there.
"Well…on the bright side we're out of the girls' restroom for good."
Nikki now wears bright red lip gloss to go with her boots and sunglasses, pink eye-shadow and eyeliner to go with her lightning bolt logo on her shirt and her belt. She also has eye contacts that changed her eyes to a light blue. For Nights, she wears a pink lip gloss to go with her sleeveless leather jacket and shoes, blue-green eye shadow and eyeliner to go with her blue-green strapless crop top, and eye contacts that has the same color as Nebulas. They both wear the same mascara and light pink blush on their faces.
"Yeah…lets just never speak of this again," said Nikki.
"Agree, okay now it's your turn to remember. What did you do with Amy on your date?"
"Hmmm…..I did remember taking her to a new mall that opened a few days ago. It's not far from here, let's go check it out"
"Alright lets go." With that, Nikki and Night left the store, hoping that this new endeavor would be more helpful than this hopeless fiasco.
AN: So there's chapter 2, and as I said, here are GothNebula's OCs. Before I continue the story, I must say a few things. The OCs will NOT be the main focus of the story. I will limit them to what they should be; side characters who simply assist with character interaction and story progression. I have also re-worked her characters so they won't be too Mary Sue-ish. While they will keep most of their original powers, they won't be the indestructable, unbelievably beautiful, perfect super-godesses that you may come to expect by this point. They'll be just as vulnerable and relatable as I'll make the main characters and will have their own distinguishable personalities than just "Shadow's perfect girlfriend."
And also, the interactions between them and the main characters will be completely in-character, within context to certain aspects of the universe and mythos that GothNebula created. So don't expect any lovey-dovey OOCness from Sonic or Shadow. I also won't delve too much into the OCs backstories or previous adventures, because, quite frankly, they are quite ridiculous. The only reason I used them was because my cousin was a good friend of GothNebula when she wrote the basic draft of this story,and I decided to incorporate them into the rest of the story after I adopted it.
Expect bigger and better things to come and if you're honestly interested in the original versions of GothNebula's characters and stories…. go to her DeviantArt account or check her fanfiction account, Nebula the Hedgehog….
