Sarah's POV

"Can one of you guys PLEASE tell me what's going on?" I stared angrily at the surrounding figures. "It feels weird being the only one not knowing what's going on!"

I pointed towards Nick. "I'll bet your name isn't even Nick, is it?"

He looked at me for a moment that felt like hours.

"Yes. My real name is Sonic."

I only got angrier. "Sonic? Really? Come on, I'm serious!"

Amy stepped up. "So is he! Sarah, please, just calm down..."

"Calm down? I can't calm down! I'm a freak, and you guys know it! You guys are just messing with me, aren't you? You guys are just going to turn me in somewhere and rake it all in! You probably don't even care about this 'Shadow' guy anyway? I..." I ran out of breath. "Just leave me alone!" I screamed as I ran from the room.

"Wait!" Nick, Sonic, whoever, shouted. "Sarah!"

Sophie rushed past me. And by rushed, I mean RUSHED. I didn't know going that fast was humanly possible!

"Sarah," she spoke calmly. "We don't want to abuse you. We want to help. Watch this, you'll see."

She sped off at breakneck speed (exept for the fact her neck did not break, of course.), zooming around the house. As she pulled back up to me, she began to explain.

"See, Sarah? I just found out about my powers too. Sonic and Shadow up there," She pointed up the stairs. "Had powers as well. Perhaps you've heard of the Sonic games?"

I couldn't help but break out in laughter. Sophie did not seem amused.

"You're.. you're kidding, right?" I laughed.

"No, I'm not! Besides, If you think we don't care about Shadow, why leave him here?"

Oooh. Right. "Fine, I'll help you guys. I still don't really trust you guys yet." I huffed.

She smiled. "That's all we need for now."


Shadow's POV

I woke up to a familiar cheesy grin looming over me.

"Good morning, Sunshine!" Sonic laughed. I gasped, seeing that it was Sonic and yet... Not Sonic. It was a human teenage boy

"Geez, how..." I stood up and, were not so may people around to witness, I would have screamed. I, too, was human.

"What... how...?" I was cut off as two girls walked in. I reconized neither of them, although the blonde one looked strangely familair.

"Oh, hey! You're up!" she smiled. What's wrong with her? I thought.

"What do you want, kid?" I grumbled. I turned toward Sonic. "Who are these guys, anyway?"

Sonic grinned. "Oh, you are not going to like this one bit..."


I've delayed a part I'm looking for to put this in. However, I have a question. In the chapter after this, we will continue naration from an entire different POV in a different place for a couple chapters. One question, though;

Should I do Knuckles or Tails POV first?
