Sonic's POV

This was it.

The very mission we'd been preparing for for weeks.

Weeks filled with Recon missions, search and seizure raids, and countless amounts of running around with guns like a bunch of jackasses.

It all led to this.

And here I am…

… Being dolled up in drag for a 'disguise'.

I was being made to wear a bright violet dress coupled with long, elbow-length pink opera gloves made of a shiny material, and a blonde wig bearing flowing, wavy hair that went a little past my shoulders and neck, and allowed a few of my quills to poke out the back.

That, and some bright pink lipstick, long fake eyelashes, and purple eyeshadow for effect.

And also to draw attention away from the fact that I was really a boy.

Sally, on the other hand, looked absolutely gorgeous.

She wore a bright sky blue dress that was a similar style to the one I was wearing, but with a mermaid-style skirt that reached her ankles, silver opera gloves that reached all the way to her shoulders, silver high-heels that bore rhinestones embroidered on them, a beautiful pearl necklace along with her locket, and had temporary hair extensions that reached down past her shoulders and a little bit down her back, and had a blue ribbon in the back.

For makeup, she wore bright red lipstick coupled with blue eyeshadow and long, feathered fake eyelashes.

One of our own top field agents, Bunnie Rabbot, was the one who dolled us up.

She had been partially roboticized quite a while ago, and wore these mummy bandages over her robotic parts, which were her left hand and a little on to her left breast, her legs and waists, and a little over the left side of her face, as well as her eye, which was forever black with a digital blue iris peeking out.

"So, Buns," I asked our cowgirl friend, "How do we look?"

Bunnie smiled.

"Y'all look like you could be movie stars." She replied.

I winced.

"I still think I look ridiculous…" I said, "… And yet, somehow I have a boner…"

"Well," Said Sally, "You'll have to control that erection, because we're using this look to get past the energy shield of that Satellite array. And speaking of…"

Sally then got out a set of EMP charges, ones about the size of freaking Nintega 3DS', then handed one to me, then said, "Stick this in the pouch under your skirt. That way, all you'll need to do is take it out, then set it on the shield generator so the others can get in. Can you do that?"

I nodded, then grinned.

"Sal, you're talking to the fastest critter on two legs." I replied, "Dressed in drag or not, I can get there lickity-split!"

Sally smiled in response.

"Good to know." She responded, "Now then, let's go deactivate ourselves a shield generator."

"Yeah!" I exclaimed, "Let's do it to it!"

That's my catchphrase, by the way.

It is copyright of me, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Please support it's official release whenever it comes out of my mouth.

Anyways, Me and Sally both walked out of the mobile command vehicle we were in, which was cleverly disguised as a camper bus, and was parked a safe distance away from our target, then casually made our way to the front gate of the array complex. It had these huge, HUGE satellite dishes planted on top of the actual building, which looked to be the size of the gymnasium at my school if it were doubled and laid next to one another. We were immediately met by two guards armed with rifles.

"Halt!" One of them said, "State your buisiness, Mobians."

I glanced at Sally, who gave me a wink, then turned to the guards and said, using the most seductive-sounding voice I'd ever heard her use, "Oh, we're just here to see if we can have our movie shot here. We're actresses, you see, and we're on the verge of making it big in Hollywood, so we figured we'd go on behalf of our agent to see if we can't secure a permit to shoot here. That won't be a problem, will it?"

Sally then gave him a seductive wink. I then followed suit and said, using the best female voice I could muster, "After all, who wouldn't want two beautiful mobian girls walking around the premises among you sexy, strong soldiers?"

I then blew a kiss at the other one.

Kids, please don't tell my friends at school about this, okay?

The two guards looked at each and nodded, smiling as they were smitten by us, then said, "Hey, anything for you two gourgeous broads."

He they then moved aside, while one of them said, "Go right in. We'll inform our serperiors, as well as everyone else working in the array, of your arrival and your buisiness."

"Thank you." I said, walking right by, just as Sally followed suit.

In the corner of my eye, I swore I saw one of them mouth the phrase 'call me'

So, with that, we made our way to the shield generator, using our 'gourgeous' looks to our advantage as we proceeded.

The generator was guarded by only one soldier, so, Sally told me to 'keep him busy' while she planted the EMPs, mine of which I snuck out of my dress a little earlier.

"So…" The soldier asked, "You say you're a movie star, huh?"

Nervously, I nodded.

I immediately knew several places this could go.

"What's your name?" He asked.

Shit.

I didn't pick a name for myself!

Desperately, I blurted out the first female name I could think of.

"Ashley Olsen!"

Smooth, Sonic.

Real smooth.

Seriously, was that lame or what?

"'Ashley Olsen, huh?" The soldier asked.

Knowing what I'd said, I then played it up by saying, "The redhead is my sister, Mary Kate."

"So, Asher…" The soldier continued, automatically assigning me a nickname, "Howsabout a kiss?"

Oh, fuck me!

I didn't want to do this…

I reallydidn't want to do this.

But, I knew I had to in order to maintain my cover.

God, the things I do for missions sometimes…

I then closed my eyes, puckering my lips, and slowly moved in towards that of the soldier's….

Until, finally, Sally came out, then detonated the EMP, causing the generator to crackle and sputter until it was completely fried, making the shields surrounding the array power off.

"Huh?!" Said the soldier, turning his gaze away from me and towards Sally, who smirked, then said, "Looks like your shield generator is now defunct!"

And, before he could retaliate, I then kicked him sqaure in the beanbags, causing him cry out in pain before crumpling to the ground.

And, with that, I threw off my dress along with the wig and gloves, and wiped the makeup and fake eyelashes off my face, then turned to Sally as she did the same and asked, "Ready for the fun part?"

She nodded, then pulled a collapsable titanium Bo Staff out and deployed it, then said, "Let's jam."

We then ran through the base, seperating only once, Sally going off to plant the explosive device, and me to go kick some imperial ass!

I revved through the base, going faster than I had in a long time, leaving a long blue trail of light behind me as I became but a blur to all those Slow-mos trying to shoot at me!

Sally soon met me at the entrance of the building, and told me that she had planted the explosives, and we were just about to leave when I was pounced upon by a female soldier, who looked like she may have been put in charge here.

She had blonde hair that was held back in a spikey bun, blue eyes, and had some kind of old WWII-era pistol at her belt, and had her hands tightly wrapped around my throat.

I gurgled and coughed as I tried to pry this lady's hands off my neck, but she was wicked strong. I swear that my face was turning a more dark blue than it usually was, maybe like a dark purple or indigo.

The woman laughed maniacally.

"Zey say zat no man can kill you, hedgehog…" She mused, "But I say, never send a man to do a voman's job!"

She then laughed some more, until a large, curved blade pierced through her stomach, which I recognized as the Kukri (1) Clash brought with him on this mission.

The woman then let go of my throat, gurgling and spitting up blood, as Clash leaned towards her ear and whispered, "Shhh, shhhhh, shhhh, It's almost over, it's almost over…"

Eventually, the woman's struggling stopped as he body went limp.

Clash then lifted her up and pushed her still form off of his blade as he sheathed it and said, "C'mon, kids. Let's rock it!"

We then ran out of the compound, along with the rest of our teammates, then, once we were back at the command vehicle, Clash then handed the detonator to me and asked, "Care to do the honors, birthday boy?"

I nodded, smiling.

"You know it!" I said, taking the detonator.

I then pressed the button, and watched as the satellite array exploded in the distance, falling to the ground in a bright orange fiery display of a thermite-induced explosion.

"Now Robotnik will have to find another way to roboticize people from miles away." Said Sally.

"Yeah," I added, "No one pulls that shit on my watch!"

We then went back into the command vehicle, then drove off back to base, where we would give our after-mission report to the others.

Feline Manor

Locke Hill, Aristocratic district

Around that same time…

Jake and Tails came out of the back seat of their aunt Chloe's car, dressed in formal Aristocratic attire, soon followed by Gracie, who was wearing a dazzling dress made of bright pink silk and featuring rhinestones and pearls embroidered all over it, from the collar all the way down to the hem of the long, ballgown-style wasp skirt, paired with matching pale rose colored elbow-length opera gloves, some rhinestone-studded heeled pumps, an extravegant pearl necklace, and emerald earrings.

Their Aunt Chloe came out of the front passenger's seat, who was this older mobian fennac fox, about 48 in age, with bright, pale rose fur, brown hair that was cropped near the neckline, blue eyes, and wore a simple purple colored ballgown, coupled with white gloves and her purse.

"Now then, Jacob," Said Chloe, walking up to Jake and looking down at him, "I know you've come to be very attached to your fiance, which is good, because now we won't have to worry about her family yelling at us, but, even then, I want you to maintain this relationship you share with her, otherwise I will literally ground you for an entire year. Understand?"

Jake nodded, obediantly.

Chloe then turned to Tails.

"And you, mutant." She said, "I especially want you on your best behavior, understand? And that means no 'accidents' nor does it mean revealeing your… 'Defect' got it?"

Tails looked twiddled his thumbs, then said, "But the straps around my tail hurts!"

"Don't give me that!" Chloe responded angrily under gritted teeth, "I have a status to maintain in this community, and I don't need your freakish second… appendage mussing it up for me. Do I make myself clear, freak?"

"My name is Miles!" Tails told her, whiny, yet boldly.

Chloe then slapped him on his cheek, only hitting hard enough to get her point across, and to leave a red mark on his cheek as well.

"If you ever talk back to me again…" Chloe told him, "I will lock you in the stair basement without supper for a week. Do I make myself clear?"

Tails nodded obediantly, rubbing his sore cheek.

"Now then," Said Chloe, turning to the door, "Come, children. Let us attend Miss Sonia's sixteenth birthday party!"

She and Gracie both started towards the door, while Jake stayed behind for a moment to check on Tails.

"Are you alright?" He asked him.

Tails shook his head, looking to be on the very verge of tears.

"Look at me." Jake told him, "Please try and tough it out a little bit longer. Okay? Once me and Sonia are married, I promise you I'll take you with us when move to our new estate, okay?"

Tails sniffled as he tried to hold in his tears.

"You promise?" He asked

Jake nodded.

"I promise." He said, "Now c'mon, or else Aunt Chloe will yell at both of us."

Tails nodded, then took his brother's hand as the two of them followed their aunt and cousin into the estate, where other invitees were standing around, talking, gossiping and sipping only the finest wine that Lady Felicity had in her house.

Jake immediately spotted Sonia standing by the punch bowl along with…

"So yeah," Dan continued, having been telling Sonia a little bit of 'little-known facts' about Jake, "Basically, as I was making my bed back at the cabin in Summer camp, Jake finally wakes up and I starts panicking for no reason, but then, when he takes the covers off I immediately smell urine, and then I see the yellow spot on his tighty-whities as well as on his sheets, and then it all began coming together. So, I tried to help him keep it a secret, but-"

"DANN!" Jake yelled, interrupting his friend before he could spill anymore embarrassing secrets about himself that he knew.

"Oh, hey, Jake!" Dann responded, "'Sup, homie?"

"Dann…" Said Jake, "Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure man." Dann then set his glass of punch back down on the table, then turned to Sonia and said, "Well, Miss Sonia, it's been a pleasure to finally meet you. Do think about my offer, by the way. We could use pianists as good as-EEEEGGHH!"

Jake then began tugging Dann by his ear over to a further corner of the room, then pulled him in front of himself, then asked, in a hoarse, loud whisper "What the hell are you doing?!"

"I'm just getting to know your fiance, dude." Dann replied, rubbing his sore ear, "What the fuck's your problem?"

"First of all," Said Jake, "When I got there you were telling her about that 'accident' I had back in summer camp, after which my Aunt Chloe made me wear training pants for nearly a month and a half after because of it.

"Secondly, Speaking of my Aunt Chloe, she told me specifically that if I messed this up, she would literally ground me for a year!"

"… And?" Dann asked.

"What do you mean 'And?'" Jake asked.

"Dude," Said Dann, "Pardon my french, but your Aunt is a cunt!"

Jake immediately clamped his hand around Dann's mouth, just as a couple passed by them, the female in said couple gasping in shock. Jake simply smiled sheepishly as they continued to pass, looking highly offended.

Jake then let go of Dann's mouth, then said, "Are you crazy?! If my aunt caught you talking to me like that, especially if it's about her, she'd kill me!"

"But she is!" Dann protested, "You know for a fact that she's only pushing this marriage on the two of you for money, and you know she treats you and your brother like shit otherwise! Why do you not have the balls to stand up to her?"

Jake sighed.

"I don't know." He answered, "I just… I can't. Not now, at least."

"No." Dann retorted, "You mean, 'not ever' because when it comes to your aunt pushing you and your brother around, you're a comeplete pussy, and you act as though she owns you and your brother."

"She kinda does…" Jake responded sadly, "She… when we were little, she often threaten to send us to an orphanage to get us to behave. She's even beaten us a few times, but nowadays it's been reduced to a simple slap across the cheek from time to time if we talk back. She's also grown prone to locking Tails in the stair cupboard a few times if he ever fucked up real badly. She's also very strict on hiding his second tail from the world whenever we go out, so much so she once threatened to cut it off with a pair of scissors."

Dann looked at Jake for a moment, then said, "… That's rough, buddy."

Jake huffed, then said, "Now, if you'll excuse ,me, I'm going to go hang out with my fiance."

Jake then walked over to Sonia, who was happily chatting with Tails.

"So, you're telling me you like to draw planes?" She asked.

Tails nodded.

"Not just pictures," He replied, "But also blueprints for real ones! Ones that I someday hope to build in real life!"

"That's amazing." Sonia responded.

"He means it, by the way." Jake added.

Sonia then turned to him.

"Oh, hey!" She said, walking over to him and pecking him on the cheek, causing him to blush profusely.

"So, uhhh…" Jake began, but then cleared his throat as he continued, "So, you wanna go somewhere and hang out for a bit?"

Sonia nodded.

"We can go over in the garden." She replied, "There's not that many people out there during these parties usually."

Jake then smiled.

"Alright, let's go!" He said, leaving Tails behind at the punch bowl.

Once they left, Tails then stood there, shifting uncomfortably because of the leather straps under his top that was binding his other tail to his back tightly.

He whined a little bit from the straps tugging on his tail fur whenever he bent over or turned with his waist.

He then looked around to see if anyone was watching, then went into one of the bathrooms and locked the door behind him tightly.

Next, he took off his overcoat, then unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off, revealing a a bunch of brown leather straps that were tightly wound around his other tail, holding it firmly in place.

He took a deep breath, then undid the straps, allowing his other tail freedom as the blood circulation once again flowed through it.

He then sat down for a bit, putting his tails in front of himself, and let them wag about on their own for a bit.

Suddenly, he heard a sharp knock on the door to the bathroom, at which pointed he bolted upright and said, "I'll be out in a moment!"

With that, he picked up the straps again and tightly wound them around his other tail again, being sure that they were strapped tightly in place, then put on his shirt and overcoat again, making sure they looked like they had when he left the house today, then opened the door to allow another to use the bathroom.

Once he was out of the bathroom, he let out a sigh of relief.

His Aunt Chloe would kill him if she found out about what he had done.

So, he decided to keep it a secret as best as he could.

Jake and Sonia sat on a stone bench facing her mother's backyard pond, which had these goldfish and koi swimming around in it.

"So, Jake." Sonia asked, "Can I ask you another honest question?"

Jake nodded.

"Go right ahead." He responded.

"Don't take this the wrong way when I ask…" Sonia responded, "But… Is your brother… Autistic?"

Jake immediately turned his gaze to the ground.

"N-no, I didn't mean it like that!" Sonia quickly stated, "I just-"

"No, it's fine." Jake answered, "Yes. He is. He's only mildly autistic, so he's got the broader ened of the spectrum. But, not only that… But… You're not gonna believe me when I say this, but he's got two tails instead of just one."

There was a momentary pause as Sonia digested this before Jake followed up with, "Why do you ask, anyway?"

"Well…" Sonia explained, "I just… I overheard some creeps gossiping about him earlier, referring to him as a 'mutant retard' and other horrid things like that, but there was one who claimed that she thought he was autistic."

Jake sighed.

"Well, I suppose it's no surprise people gossip about him." He said, "My Aunt Chloe hardly lets him leave the house, and when he does, he has to wear those horrible leather straps around his tail to keep it bound to his back so that his other tail doesn't pop out for all to see."

"That's horrible!" Sonia responded.

Jake nodded.

"That's not even the worst of it." He added, "My uncle used to beat him on a constant basis when we were kids, and he still does even today. And no one ever lifts a finger to stop him. Not only that, but my Aunt has locked him in the stair cupboard a few times, sometimes making him go without dinner."

Sonia frowned and shook her head.

"How can you stand living with those terrible people?" She asked.

Jake sighed.

"I didn't have a choice." He replied, "It was either them or the orphanage. And I once heard that the orphanages in Robotropolis have the kids that age out sent to the roboticizer. And I doubt anyone would've adopted Tails because of his second tail."

There was a long pause.

The pause ended when Jake asked, "Sonia… Do you believe in fate?"

"Why do you ask?" Sonia queried.

Jake looked at her, then pulled out his medallion, then said, "I think…. No, something inside me tells me this is so, that we were fated for one another."

"Why do you say that?" She asked.

Jake then pulled Sonia's medallion from under her collar.

"Why else would the two of us have these?" He asked, "Our parents, our birth parents, knew what they were doing by giving us these. They knew something we didn't, and still don't. Something…"

He then grasped his own medallion tightly as he went on.

"… Something is telling me that… something's been missing… something's not quite right… And that… That…"

He then turned his gaze back at Sonia and said, "I got it. Once we're married, let's run away from this place and never come back!"

Sonia was taken aback by this sudden proposal.

"… Run away?" She asked.

Jake nodded.

"We'll already have been married, so we'll have the money." He said, "And, we can take Tails with us too, so he won't have to suffer anymore! Think about it, it would be just us! We'd be able to create a better life for ourselves! Free of anyone who wants to abuse us, exploit us, or dress us up like dolls! C'mon, what do you say?"

Sonia looked at him for a moment, as if considering the idea.

She then turned her gaze down and said, "No. It's too much. Let's just marry and settle down, okay? I don't want Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or anything."

Just then, Sonia's medallion began glowing luminously, making her yelp in surprise.

"Wh-what's happening?!" She said, her eyes going wide.

Jake shook his head.

"I don't know!" He said.

And as quickly as it had started, the glowing stopped, and Sonia suddenly possessed a new knowledge that she hadn't before.

"Sonia?" Jake asked, "Are you okay?"

Sonia looked at Jake, a somewhat distant look in her expression.

"… I… I have to go." She said, bolting up from the bench and running back to the house, lifting her skirt as she ran.

However, unbeknownst to her and Jake, Scales had been watching them the entire time.

I knew it… He thought, smirking evily, It is her. Princess Sonia Hedgehog, Daughter of Queen Aleena Hedgehog.

He then smiled, being in a better mood despite having finally been turned down by Madame Felicity.

I'll have to tell Emperor Julius about this later. He thought to himself, So that hopefully we can think of a strategy to capture her and her two brothers sometime in the near future. However, we'll need to find where they're hiding as well.

He then drank the last of the wine that was in his glass, then enveloped it in dark purple magical flame, incinerating it into a black powder which fell to the ground in a small pile.

Hedgehog houshold

That same moment…

Sonic sat on the couch in the living room, strumming his guitar as he tried to think of a song to sing at the gig he may or may not be able to go to in a few days.

"Something missing…" He sang, coming up with words, "… Something not quite right…"

"Hey." Said another hedgehog, this one slightly older than Sonic, with bright sky blue fur, longer quills that were done in a less defined quill mohawk than Sonic's, blue eyes, and had a prosthetic left leg where his biological one had once been.

"What is it, Charlie?" Sonic asked, "I'm in the zone right now."

"Why aren't you in bed yet?" Charlie asked, "It's past nine."

"Uncle Chuck said I can stay up as long as I want," Sonic replied, "Just as long as I go to bed at a decent enough hour."

"Of course he did." Charlie retorted cooly, "Doesn't surprise me considering how much he prizes you over me and Mia."

Sonic glared at him, setting his guitar down and standing up to his level.

"Don't treat it like that!" He snapped at him, "It's not like that and you know it!"

"No, you've got it in reverse," Charlie responded, "It is like that and you know it!"

Just then, a young, 15-year old mobian hedgecat girl with indigo colored fur, bright, blonde hair and quills, green eyes, and had a long scar across her face from a brutal injury she sustained when she was little.

"Guys, what's going on?" She asked.

"Go back upstairs, Mia." Charlie instructed her, "Me and Sonic are just chatting, aren't we?"

Sonic glanced up at Mia, who still stood on the stairs behind the couch, looking at him conceriningly.

"… Yeah." He said, "Just chatting."

Mia nodded, then went back upstairs to her room.

Charlie then looked at Sonic and said, "Make you sure you're in bed at a decent hour."

As Charlie walked away, Sonic then snapped, "Don't tell me what to do! You're not my father!"

"Your father's dead, remember?" Charlie bellowed at him before going in his room and slamming the door shut.

Sonic then sighed and plopped back down on the couch, trying again to think up lyrics to a song he was trying to write.

Before long, he inevetiably fell asleep on the couch.

Later that night…

Sonic eventually woke up prematurely to see an old mobian anteater man standing in front of him, holding a magical staff of sorts.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked groggily, "Some kinda Jedi or something?"

"I am the Oracle of Delphius." The man introduced, "I am simply here to tell you of your destiny."

Sonic yawned, smacking his lips as he continued to wake himself up.

"Is this a dream?" He asked, grogginess still present in his voice.

The oracle then made his staff glow, and with it made a huge plate with chilidogs piled high upon it materialize on the coffee table.

Immediately, Sonic finished waking, then began wolfing down chilidog after chilidog.

"This's my kinda dream!" He said, his mouth full of chewed up chilidog.

"This is no dream, Sonic." The oracle replied, "This is-"

"Don't you fucking move, pal!"

Both Sonic and The Oracle looked to the other doorway of the room to see Charlie standing there with a twelve-gauge shotgun pointed at the Oracle, with Mia standing behind him cautiously.

Sonic then swallowed his mouthful of chilidog.

"Charlie, what the fuck, man?" Sonic asked, "Chill out!"

"Who are you?" Charlie asked the Oracle, comepletly ignoring Sonic, "How'd you get in?"

"I am the Oracle of Delphius." The Oracle introduced.

Charile nodded, then jerked on the pump of the shotgun.

"Yeah, sure you are…" He said, "And I'm the princess of Soleanna!"

He then glanced to Mia and said, "Mia, call the police."

"But Charlie…" Mia protested, "I think he's-"

"You want a repeat of last time?!" Charlie shouted at her.

Mia went wide eyed and stepped back a little.

"Charles…" The Oracle addressed Charlie, "I am who I say I am."

"YOU SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" Charlie bellowed at him, his grip on the gun tightening, "Who are you? A pedophile? A patient who escaped from an asylum or something? I want the truth and I want it-"

"Charlie!"

Charlie was then approached from behind by Chuck, who grabbed the shotgun out of his hand.

"I am really sorry about that, your greatness." He apologized, bowing slightly, "The boy's a little too quick to judge sometimes."

"Dad, he fucking broke in!" Charlie argued.

"Watch your mouth!" Chuck scolded him, "You're in the presence of the Oracle of Delhpius!"

Charlie then glared at him.

"Are you all fucked up in the head?!" Charlie shouted, storming over to a phone, "That's it! I'm calling the police."

However, Sonic stopped him before he could go much further by grabbing his right hand.

"Let go of me, Sonic." He warned.

"Charlie," Said Sonic, "Can't you just shut up and listen for a bit? You're too apprhensive anymore!"

"Sonic…" Charlie warned again, his left hand slowly balling into a fist, "I'm only going to ask once more… Let go of me."

"That's enough, Junior!" Chuck yelled at Charlie, "Sonic's right. Just sit down and listen for a bit instead of being so quick to judge, okay?"

Charlie then sighed angrily, then sat down on an armchair on the opposite side of the couch.

Mia, on the other hand, just remained standing where she was, while Sonic and Chuck sat down on the couch.

"Now then…" The Oracle began, "You're probably all wondering why I'm here. Well, I am here because Sonic…" He turned to Sonic, then continued, "… Is finally of age to learn of his destiny, as well as his true heritage."

"'Heritage?'" Sonic asked, "Like, my real parents?"

The Oracle nodded.

"And…" He added, "Your brother and sister."

"Okay, I'm callin' bullshit on that one, sir!" Sonic replied, "My uncle Chuck told me my parents died in a car crash, and that I was orginally an only child! If I had a brother and a sister, he'd have-"

He then stopped mid-sentence when he realized the implications of what he was about to say.

The Oracle simply lowered the end of his staff to the table, and the holographic images of Sonia and Manic appeared on it.

"These are your younger brother and sister," He said, "Sonia and Manic. Your mother, Queen Aleena, was forced to give the three of you up when Robotnik took over in order to keep you safe until it was time."

"Time for what?" Sonic asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Time…" The Oracle replied, "For you and them to learn of your destiny. You see, it was prophecized years ago after your birth that you, your mother and your brother and sister would form the council of four and defeat Robotnik and his evil regime for good, and then take reign as princes and princess of the kingdom."

"I'm a prince?!" Sonic interrupted, surprised by this statement.

The Oracle nodded.

"As your siblings are as well." He replied, "You were all destined for the throne, but Robotnik's takeover changed all that, but now, the time has come for you and your two siblings to rise up and seize your destiny!"

Sonic looked at him for a moment, then said, "Well, I'd love to, really, I would, but I got this gig on Friday that I need to write a song for, and I need to find a drummer and keyboardist for my band if I even want to go, soooo…"

"You siblings can be your drummer and keyboardist." The Oracle told him.

"They can?" Sonic asked.

"Sonia, your sister…" The Oracle explained, "Is an esteemed Pianist, and your brother, Manic, is a skilled drummer."

Sonic was silent for a moment.

He then broke it by saying, "Holy shitsnacks! This is great! Where do I find them?!"

"They will find you." The Oracle assured him, "But, in the meantime, let your dreams tell you more about them. I must take now take my leave.."

The Oracle then teleported away in a bright flash of light.

"Well, Sonic…" Said Charlie, "It seems you just got yourself into a neat little mess here. What are you going to do about it?"

Sonic looked at him for a moment, then said, "First, I'm gonna put the rest of these Chilidogs in the fridge for later. Then, I'm gonna go to bed, and in the morning, I'm gonna go see my friends and practice for the gig!"

Charlie nodded, faking impressment.

"You have fun with that." He responded, "I'm going to go back to bed."

"Alright!" Sonic said in reply, "See you in the morning, cous!"

Charlie looked at him again, then said, in a very sarcastic tone, "Alright then. You do that, man."

He then walked upstairs to his room.

Mia looked at Sonic for a moment.

After a moment's silence, she too went upstairs to her room.

Sonic then put the remaining Chilidogs in the fridge, then stretched and yawned and said, "See ya in the morning, Uncle Chuck!"

Chuck nodded, then replied, "Goodnight, kiddo."

Sonic then dashed upstairs to his room, shutting the door behind him and jumped onto his bed and pulled the covers over him, closing his eyes and lulling himself back to sleep, letting his dreams do the rest of the talking.

Prowess Manor

That same moment…

Jake's POV

I stood in the back room of the chapel, fixing the bowtie on my tuxedo.

This was it…

I was finally about to marry the girl of my dreams…

Sonia…

I then checked my watch, and saw that it was time to take my place up at the alter.

I smiled, then walked out over to the main room of the chapel…

Only to find it empty, except for Sonia, who lay face-down on the floor in a puddle of blood.

Her blood.

I ran to her aid immediately, kneeling down next to her and turning her over in my arms, to find that there was a large hole in her chest where her heart was.

I then heard laughter.

Evil laughter.

I turned to face the source, and found that Scales guy from the other day standing over me, tossing a still-beating heart in his left hand, while e held a bloody dagger in his right.

"You could've protected her, you know?" Scales taunted me, "You could've just run away with her, and tell your aunt to piss off, but no. You just sat there and did nothing. You let your aunt control you, abuse you, exploit you, dress you up like a doll, and you will continue to do it for the rest of your life!"

I then felt a gooey substance begin to creep up my ankles. I looked down and saw a rubbery, pastel orange goo creeping up leg, plastering my feet in place.

Horrified, I attempted to pry myself from my rubbery bonds, but found it useless as I was stuck firmly to the floor, and before long, the gooey substance reached my body, and began morphing over it. once it reached my torso, however, it began to transform me. The rubber on my chest began to pool under my skin and my chest began to inflate like a set of balloons, forming a set of girly breasts, while my waist shrunk, and my hips widened. I felt my genitals completely melt away, then felt the rubber crawl down my arms and tail, forming tight mitts over my hands, and making my tail become limp and flexible. Eventually, the rubber finally reached my head, and morphed over my face and mouth, covering them completely save only my eyes and hair. Finally, as the rubber hardened, I felt myself lose all control over my body. All I could do is stand.

I then watched as I was plucked up from the room by a gigantic version of Gracie, who then proceeded to dressing me up in a frilly princess outfit, complete with a gown, corset, tights, gloves and coronet.

She then placed me on a balcony of a dollhouse, then pushed off, causing me to fall through the floor, and then towards some kind of slime-filled pit, at which point tears began streaming from my eyes as I fell…

I then jerked awake, bolting upright on my bed, gasping for breath.

I took in shallow, deep breaths, recalling the events of my dream.

Suddenly, my medallion began to glow brightly, and I felt a strange sensation go through my body as I began to recall things I hadn't before.\

Once it was over and my medallion stopped glowing, I knew.

I was right.

Me meeting Sonia was no accident.

It was fate.
