Sophie broke out into laughter. "Now I get it! He's an escaped mental patient!" She crazily laughed, putting the shockers down on a rubber mat. "We just woke up a mental who think's he's Sonic the Hedgehog!" She hit her head against the wall at least three times. "Uh, is she okay?" The teenager who said he was Sonic asked. "Yes, she does this everytime she thinks there's a mental in our house." Dezi said sarcastically. "So she is okay?" "No, I was being sarcastic!" Dezi sighed and walked over to Sophie and shook her shoulder. "You okay now?" Sophie was now breathing heavily. "Yes."
"Okay, 'Sonic'." Dezi and Sophie sat down on the floor. "Just tell us what happened. How did you get here and what were you doing before you came here?" "Well, I was helping my best friend Tails build this machine to travel through dimensions." "And you needed to do that, why?" Dezi was surprisingly good at pulling off the whole therapist thing. "We had to get the Chaos Emeralds before Eggman did, and they were in some other dimension so we couldn't get to them normally and-" "That's enough. Now I'd like you to open that closet. There's a mirror on the door there." Sophie pointed to the closet. "Take a good look at yourself." The teen walked over to the closet and opened the door. With just a short gaze, he knew something wasn't right about him. "What's happened to me?!" He yelled. "I don't think anything's happened to you. I think you have a mental disorder that makes you think you're Sonic the Hedgehog, who is a video game character." Sophie said. "What did you say?" "You have a mental disorder." "No, after that." "You think you're Sonic." "After that!" "Sonic's a video game character." "You mean...I'm just a character in a video game?" The teen said, sadness clear in his voice. "Well, not you, precisely. I mean the 'actual' Sonic, who is the main character of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, which is made by SEGA." "...What's SEGA?" "SErvice GAmes. That's what they used to be called, anyways. Back to the point, I believe my brother and I can help you re-establish your actual identity. Now, do you have any other names than Sonic?" "...My middle name is Maurice." "Really? I didn't think anybody was named that anymore. I'll just call you Nicolas, Nic for short." "I guess that's close to Sonic." Sophie turned to Dezi and whispered, "Does Sonic have a last name?" "Uh...His concept was called Mr. Needlemouse." "I need a normal last name!" "Parlouzer!" Sophie turned to Nic quickly. "Okay, your name is now Nicolas Maurice Parlouzer. Now to get you some clothes." "Clothes?" "Did you notice all you're wearing is underwear?" Nic glanced at the mirror and saw that all he was wearing was a pair of blue underwear. He knew this wouldn't be exceptable in this odd new form. "I'll go get some clothes. Dezi, you make sure he doesn't find any weapons!" Sophie ran out of the basement. "What's her problem?" Nic asked. "I dunno."
