Hey everyone thanks a lot for reading my story! I'm glad you all like it! It means a lot that you enjoy reading it so much! In the comments I read that I have some grammar mistakes. I know I make a lot of mistakes by accident but some of them (sometimes the spelling mistakes) are on purpose. To give the characters more emotion, to give you that feeling that they're actually real! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I like writing them!
A few days past and XANA had been quiet for the past week. The days were long and boring and since sonic and the gang weren't allowed to leave the factory they had to sit there and somehow entertain themselves. Even sonic, whose spirits are always high, who's always the first one to react and come up with an idea could think of nothing to do.
The blue hedgehog crawled across the floor. "I'm… so… BORED!" Sonic said, grabbing shadow's foot. "Shadow… I… don't think I'll last much longer!" he pretended to sob, "Help me shadow! You're my only hope! Fight me! I'll do anything!" He begged.
"No." He said bluntly, lifting up the hedgehog with his foot and tossing him against the wall.
Sonic landed next to Amy, "Hiya Amy." He smiled. "How 'bout you and I go on that date you've been begging me to go on." He winked, expecting her to jump at the chance.
"Sonic, I won't go on a date with you just because you want to escape boredom… I want you to go on a date with me because you can't stand being away from me any longer!" She said with a twinkle in her eyes.
Sonic's eyes rolled, and he slowly crawled away while she began to say things about how much he loves her. He noticed tails on the supercomputer, after studying Jeremy's book of notes he wanted to study the real thing, and Jeremy trusted him enough to do it.
"Taiills… buddyyy…" Sonic said standing next to him, "How 'bout you virtualize me on lyoko so I can have some fun?" He asked his arm around tails' neck.
"Sorry, sonic. Jeremy said I can't virtualize anyone without his permission, unless there's a XANA attack." He said hitting a few keys. "And I won't virtualize you just because you're bored. Why not read Jeremy's book of notes? If you read them then that way at least you'll have SOMETHING to do." He said without taking his eyes off the screen.
Sonic frowned, his chance to get away from boredom struck down by his best friend. The blue hero sighed, and then noticed Knuckles. He smiled and began to think up a way to trick him.
He jumped over to him, opening his mouth to speak words but before he could get anything out knuckles cut him off with a big fat. "No."
"Wh—you don't even know what I'm going to say!" The hedgehog protested.
"I don't care. You're going to try and come up with a way to trick me into fighting you or something to relieve your boredom, and I'm tired, so no." He repeated the hedgehog's least favorite word at the moment.
Since no one would help entertain the bored hedgehog he had no choice. He was going to leave the factory.
Not one to usually break the rules sonic felt uneasy leaving the factory after being told not to. As much as he hated it boredom got the best of the blue hedgehog as he quickly climbed up the ladder and out into the open. "Hmm… now where can I go first?" He said, looking around.
He jumped up and closed the manhole, making sure to dodge the school so he wouldn't be noticed he began to do a slight jog. Although at a slight jog he still manages to run up to 20 MPH!
He was careful to not let himself be seen. He slowed to a stop as he noticed that there was a trench coat that was just sitting on the ground in the middle of the forest. "Huh… well… this'll help me stay out of sight while in town!" He grabbed it and put it on, along with a hat that lay beside it. He buttoned up the jacket and pulled the collar to cover his quills. "Eeh…. This may not work…"
He dropped everything and began to think. "Oh well, guess I'll just run so fast no one can see me. It worked in the other universe." He tapped his shoes on the ground and took off, escaping the forest and jumping on top of a building, looking out over the people who were currently in the town. "This does seem like a peaceful place." He said smiling.
He heard a shout for help, looking over and seeing a man burst out of a store with a gun. A bag of money was in his hand.
Sonic sighed and shook his head, "Typical criminals… Oh! I need it to pay my sons medical bills!" Sonic said, mocking a criminal. "Whelp, let's do this quick." He smiled, jumped down from the building and burst towards the man, people thinking it was just a gust of wind.
"Hah! Man that place was loaded!" Said the robber, "No one's even trying to stop—MEEE!" His last words shouted as he was grabbed by an unknown force. He was dropped in front of the store and the money disappeared from his hands.
The clerk stood there as the robber tried to figure out where he was, the clerk holding a bat. On the counter the bag of money that had been stolen with a note reading:
"Glad to help! Sorry I couldn't stick around!
-Your friend."
Sonic smiled and began his trek across this new world, enjoying himself as he usually does when on a run.
About two hours had passed; newscasters all around the city are covering "Miracle stories" how at one moment the person was either being robbed or in a burning building and the next they were outside or safe from whatever it was that was going to harm them.
Sonic soon returned to the factory, after saving so many people he decided to have a break and greeted everyone, who, to his surprise were all waiting for him and they all seemed pretty mad, Including Jeremy and the gang.
"Umm…. Hi?" He said nervously. "Is… something wrong?" He smiled nervously as tails lifted a finger and hit a button on the super computer. The news came on.
"Today is a day filled with miracles," the woman began. "There have been reports of miracles, as I said before but these are no ordinary miracles these are life threatening miracles! People had reported being threatened by a gun, the person holding it was about to pull trigger and out of nowhere the gun holder's gun was twisted and turned and the person was unconscious!" She said.
Sonic smiled nervously.
"Another report of a building that was on fire, it was bursting with flames! Firefighters had cleared the area, knowing there was almost no way to save it! Unfortunately there was a poor soul stuck inside and there was no way to get to them! All seemed lost… but in the blink of an eye the person was snatched away from inside and brought out! But that wasn't the end of it! Suddenly a blue orb seemed to orbit around the building resulting in the flames that was consuming the building to disappear!" She said astonished.
Tails hit the button again which turned off the news.
"Care to explain these, 'miracles' sonic?" Jeremy barked.
"Well they sure are!" He took a step back as everyone took a step closer. "Well, hey! Would you look at the time! Looks like I've got to be somewhere—AAH!" he was tackled by Amy, then Tails. "Lemme go!" He shouted, "I ain't done nothin! You can't prove a thing!" He was struggling to get lose, but knew all was lost when knuckles began to hold him down.
Jeremy walked in front of the blue hedgehog that was being held down by his friends. "Sonic, I know you get bored easily, and I can see now that keeping you all in the factory is not the best solution… so I've discussed it with Yumi, Ulrich, Odd and Aelita. I've also talked about it with your friends and the decision is final. You're going to school with us.
Sonic stopped struggling, stopped speaking, and stopped moving all together. He just had a blank expression on his face.
Everyone was still, suddenly concerned for the blue hedgehog who had stopped moving.
"S-Sonic?" Amy asked.
Suddenly the hedgehog began to struggle again, and began to prevail as he got into a spin-dash. Spinning faster and faster and began to spin his friends along with him. They finally let go and were flung around the room, sonic jumped up and stood on his feet.
"A-Are you insane?" He nearly shouted, they all took a step back. "U-Us? Going to s-school?" He shuddered at the thought. "In case you haven't noticed! We're walking, talking, rainbow colored animals!" He pointed to himself and his friends. "How are you going to hide us in school? In plain sight?"
Jeremy smiled, "easily." Jeremy stepped to the side and revealed bags of clothing. "We've got wigs, we've got clothes, we've got bald caps to hide your spines, and then we place the wigs on."
Sonic gawked at him, as well as the idea. "This will NEVER work! We'd stand out to much!" Sonic continued to try and derail him from the idea, it's not that he hated showing himself in public but he felt clothing were to 'confining'
"It should, we tested it out while you were gone. Tails tried it, and with those big bushy tails I think we should be able to hide the rest of you." Jeremy smiled, knowing he was outsmarting the scared hedgehog.
Sonic looked around, to his friends and to Jeremy's friends. They all had a smile on their face and were staring at him. He was all alone in the effort to stay away from clothes, but he suddenly got an idea. One he would hope work. "W-Well what if instead of wearing clothes I go on a date with Amy?" He said desperately.
"Sorry sonic, that's not going to work." Jeremy said, "We all agreed that—"
"Now hold up a moment!" Amy protested. "I'm sure that if sonic and I go on a date that he'd be entertained for the day." She smiled, siding with him for the moment.
"Yes, it would." Jeremy said, "For the day." He looked at sonic, "For A day. Then afterwards he'd be free to do what he did today…" Jeremy smiled at sonic, who was out of options.
Amy gasped, "Is that what you were planning on doing sonic?" She walked over to him, her hammer in her hand.
"Throw him in the elevator and change him." Jeremy said.
"Gladly…" Knuckles smiled and cracked his knuckles, then grabbing sonic.
"Hey! Lemme go! Please! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!" He shouted and was thrown into the elevator, Amy and Tails followed sonic and Jeremy hit a button that closed the door.
Smacks and bangs could be heard from inside and everyone was giggling while hearing sonic scream and yelp.
"No! Stop it! Knock it off!" He shouted, "AAH! Hey watch where you're grabbing!" they heard.
"Sorry sonic" Amy giggled, the screams continued but then all was quiet.
The gang waited for something to happen, when out of nowhere the elevator door started to spark, slightly opening. It was opening more and more, sparks continued to fly as two white gloves were seen opening the door.
Everyone, including shadow watched with open mouths as sonic pulled the doors open, in the background you could see Tails, Knuckles and even Amy tied up with the clothes they were trying to put on him.
"I'll never wear clothes yah hear? NEVER!" He ran over to the ladder and jumped out, then into the sewers.
Yumi looked to her right to see that shadow was no longer standing there. Then suddenly sonic could be heard shouting in the sewers, a flash of light and shadow jumping down from the ladder with sonic in his hands, throwing him in the elevator and clothing him.
After done clothing him shadow threw him out as he was waking up. "Hugh… AAAH!" He looked at his arms, which had a long jacket over them. "M-My gloves? WHERE ARE THEY SHADOW?" He growled. "If I'm wearing clothes I'm at least going to wear my gloves!"
Shadow scoffed and threw them at the blue hedgehog.
The gloves smacked him in the face, "Thank you." He uttered.
Jeremy gave him a mirror, to see how he looked. "You wear clothes in lyoko, so why not here?" He asked.
"I don't know. The truth is I just never really liked clothing. But… I have to say I make a darn good looking human!" He smiled, his happy smile returning to his face.
"I would date you" Yumi joked, then looked to Ulrich.
He rolled his eyes, knowing Yumi was only joking.
Thirty minutes passed and the gang was dressed, they all looked like normal humans surprisingly.
"Now for a test," Jeremy brought in a small wind machine and aimed it at the group, turning it on.
Large gusts of wind began to blow towards the group who easily withstood the gusts but what Jeremy was trying to see if their clothes could easily be blown off.
"Well it looks like you're all ok if there was a windy day." He turned it off.
"Great… so when do we start school?" Knuckles asked pushing sonic out of the way.
"Well by tomorrow. I have to take a bit of time to hack into the city's files and register you five into the city's inhabitants." Jeremy hopped into the super computer chair, hitting a few keys that brought up the city's logo. "It's going to take a while to register you all into the city so why not go and try out your new look?" Jeremy said with a smile.
"OK… but don't be mad when I beat you all in looks!" the hedgehog smiled and hit the elevator button to go up. "I am definitely going to dominate this place…" Sonic flexed his muscles; Amy giggled while Shadow and Knuckles rolled their eyes.
Sonic had a blue jacket on, a red undershirt and his trademarked shoes. He kept his white gloves on because, well they're cool. He has brown hair and was white skin toned, as was all his friends. He snickered as he walked down the sidewalk and all the women's eyes were on him, as well as shadow.
Shadow had black hair with streaks dyed red and black jacket. He had a gray undershirt and ditched his gloves, as well as sonic he kept his shoes, along with everyone else. He paid no attention to the women who stared at him and continued to walk down the sidewalk.
Amy had on white jeans with red strips that went down the side; she had on a red shirt with a white strip that went across her stomach. She had brunette hair with a red headband on her head and all eyes were on her, she laughed as all the men waved at her. She waved back at them, sometimes blowing kisses.
Tails had a yellow jacket with blue jeans, a white undershirt and goggles on his head, like everyone else he kept his shoes he was getting mild winks from girls. He blushed when he saw them as he normally didn't get this kind of attention.
Knuckles had a red jacket, a white under shirt and green pants. Once again, he kept his shoes the same and some women were checking him out too! He flexed his muscles for them, they giggled.
They all walked down the sidewalk, eyes on them. Sonic enjoyed the attention while shadow ignored everyone. "Come on shads! Have some fun! Being human isn't so bad." He smiled, "You're getting some attention from the human girls." He pointed to some of the girls who were giggling at him.
Shadow blushed lightly but ignored them. "We're not here sonic… this is just a test. We need to make sure these outfits are believable enough so we can blend in at the school… as much as I resent the idea it's the only way to keep us busy while we're here…" Shadow said walking down an ally.
"Well you're a real stick in the mud." Sonic sighed, seeing a clothing store. "Well if we want to blend in why not shop for some threads to wear?" He pointed to the store.
"How are we supposed to buy clothing without any money?" Shadow asked.
"Well… with this money!" Sonic flashed a wallet filled with money, shadow's eyes grew wide.
"D-Did you steal that?" He asked surprised.
"Me? No, when we were in the last dimension I asked Chris (I hate saying this name) if I could have some money. He happily gave me plenty!" Sonic smiled, "Let's just hope this dimension accepts the same currency." Sonic looked around, and then found a dollar on the ground. "And would you look at that? Looks like they do! So we've got money to spare!" Sonic grinned as they walked into the store.
They all began to look for clothes, Amy shopping in the women's department.
They ended up leaving without anything, nothing suited their tastes. "Well that was a complete waste of time…" sonic said with his hands behind his head. They all agreed.
"How long were we in there?" Amy asked running up to sonic.
"I dunno, maybe an hour or two?" He looked around; the sun seemed to be setting. "I think we should be heading back guys."
"Hold on sonic, I want to look at some of these chocolates!" She said, unfortunately the blue hedgehog didn't hear what she said and they all walked away, she was mesmerized by the chocolates and stood there staring at them.
An hour or so passed and beforehand Amy had entered the store to check out the chocolates. She walked out holding a box and was munching on them. "Mmm…" She lightly moaned at the sweet taste of the chocolate.
She quickly noticed that her friends were nowhere to be seen. "S-Sonic?" She looked around, she wanted to go back into the store now, where she thought it'd be safe but as she went to open the door it was locked and up above it said closed. She had nowhere to go and didn't know the direction of the factory.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around. A big muscular man was standing there along with two others. "Hi there," He said in a deep voice.
"H-Hi." She said afraid.
A street light flickered on to reveal the man's face which was a bit scarred and frightened.
"'s'rong girl?" He took a step forward as she stepped back.
"N-Nothing, u-um I have some where to be." She turned around and tried to run but was grabbed by the arm.
"Sorry… but you and I are going to have a little 'quality time'." He gave her a wicked smile while the two others began to laugh.
"N-No! Leave me alone!" She shouted, struggling to get free.
The man grabbed her and turned her around, then grabbing both her arms. "What's wrong? A pretty girl like you should want some of this." The man pulled her close and his hand traveled down her back.
She was terrified, and with the last of her breath tried to scream. "SONIC! HELP MEEE!" She she shouted.
"Sorry girly but your boyfriend's not going to save you he—"A hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Who the—"He was turned around and grabbed by the collar and let go of Amy who took a step back
"She said 'let go'" The figure said in a dark tone. The white gloves shined bright in the street light, the blue spines slightly glowed as well.
"Who—WH-What? What are you?" He was suddenly hit in the stomach; he doubled over clutching his abdominal.
"That's none of your business…" He walked over to the frightened Amy and grabbed her hand, slowly helping her up. "You Ok Ames?" He smiled as she stood on her feet.
She blushed and hugged him, "Thank you for saving me!"
Sonic smiled as she hugged him, petting her head. "Hey!" The man shouted and sonic looked forward with an angry look in his eyes. "I don't mean to interrupt the sweet reunion, but if you don't hand her over there's going to be serious trouble for you little man." He said, unable to see the hedgehog in the dark.
He quickly turned around and roundhouse kicked the man in the head. "Listen up buddy, you leave her alone." The hedgehog warned. "If I hear you're messing around with her like this again I won't let you off so easy." He warned.
"Fine…" The man said getting up, "she ain't worth it, come on guys." Said the man, the other two flipped the hedgehog off.
"Hmph." Sonic smiled and turned to Amy. "You sure he didn't hurt you?" He smiled looking at her arms.
"No…" She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks sonic…" She hugged him tightly.
He looked at her, she kissed me… he thought. He smiled, picked her up and began to jog back to the factory.
On the way to the factory she fell asleep in his arms. He stepped into the elevator and hit the button, waiting for it to reach the super computer floor. "Hey Jeremy." He said walking in with Amy in his arms.
"What happened to her?" He asked turning around, "She sure was out longer then you all." He asked.
"She… had a rough night… she fell asleep and some sleep is what she needs… How's the citizenship thing going?" He asked walking over to Jeremy.
"Ok, I've got you, Shadow and Tails in the system. In maybe two or three hours I should have Knuckles and Amy in the system, and then we just have to enroll you all in the school. Man… we've got to come up with some way to get you into the school without suspicion…" Jeremy said a bit disappointed.
"Don't worry, we'll think of something. In the meantime…" Sonic stretched, bent his back backwards and stretched his legs. "I'm gonna get some shut eye." He yawned and sat down, soon drifting off to sleep.
