Nothing happened. Not even a spark emitted from the teen's hand. "What the...?" He stared at his hand as if he was expecting something. "...What's going on?" Dezi asked. "You're supposed to be blown to smithereens by now!" The teenager yelled. Then he calmed down. "I apoligize. I am Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform born and raised on the-" "Is part of that title 'The Master of REALLY Long Introductions?'" "...No." Shadow was clearly struggling not to yell at Dezi again. Sophie quietly asked Shadow, "What's your real name?" "Terios." "...Okay, whatever. Last name?" "Robotnik, I suppose." "Okay, I am now going to call you Terios Robotnik. Now your little girl friend over there?" Dezi whispered to Sophie, "I don't think they're dating." "That's not what I meant!" "Now, little girl, what's your name?" "Cream, and this is Cheese." She held out her blue jay. "Yes, that's a cute nickname, but what's your real name?" "My real name is Cream, miss. What's your name?" "Sophie. Now are you just another celebrity's child with a wierd name or do you have an actual name?" "...My actual name is Cream." Sophie groaned. "Look, I'll just call you Caroline, Carrie for short, okay?" "That's not my name, but it is pretty. Okay then, Miss Sophie." "Okay, now can you tell me the name of that pink-haired girl over there?" "That's Amy Rose, she's my bestest friend." "Somebody with a normal name! Imagine that!" Sophie said sarcastically. She and her brother then went to talk to Amy.

"Okay, Nic, this is Terios, Carrie, and Amy." Sophie said, introducing the three she found to Nic. "I know these guys! And what's with the wierd name's she's given you guys?" "...Terios is my real name." "Sorry, emo-pants." "CHAOS BLAST!" Terios had already forgotten that his powers weren't working. "Oops." "I think Caroline's a pretty name..." "What kind of name is Nic? Now what do I call you? Nikku?" "What is that, an anime character?" "...Now that I think of it, it does kind of sound like that." "Anyways, I think we should go back to the basement." Sophie said. "She hates the outdoors and loves making everybody go stir-crazy." Dezi said. "I'm tired of sitting in that basement." Nic said. "Can we get our own rooms?" "Uh...We have two conviently large guest rooms. We could have one room for the boys and one room for the girls."

Nic walked into the 'boys' guest room. The walls were clean white, and the furniture was modern. There was a large bed with green blankets and white sheets and pillows. There were also three buttons on the wall. When one button was pushed, part of the wall spun around, revealing a flat-screen TV. When the next button was pushed, a couch came out of the floor. When the last button was pressed, something came out that saddened Nic a little. A box full of SEGA systems, the SEGA CD, the Megadrive, Dreamcast, anything that had a Sonic game on it. There was also a box full of Sonic games. For some reason, Nic couldn't cope with the fact that he just wasn't real in our reality, and broke out into tears.

The girls room was similar to the boys room, only, well, girlier. The walls were a more pinkish color, and the blankets of the bed were lavender. When the third button was pushed, rather than boxes, there was a vanity which pleased Amy, but didn't do anything for Carrie, who would only use it for playing pretend, most likely.

Other than Nic's breakdown, they were more or less happy with their rooms.
