It was a cool evening when Nic woke up. "Huh? I must've been sleeping all day!" He said, getting out of bed. He ran downstairs and opened the door. A tree was rustling just across the street. "What's that?" Nic crossed the street and went to examine the tree. A gloved hand stuck out of it. "What the?"
"S-Sobic?" His voice was garbled, but Nic could tell this was Tails. He pulled out his friend and helped him onto the ground. The now-human boy spat out leaves.
"How'd you get in there, Tails?"
"It's wierd, but when I got transported here, I ended up on a plane with Silver. There were some people there who gave us new clothes, and when I told them I could just fly back to wherever I came from, they gave us parachutes and pushed us out. Something was definetly wrong with them." Tails was wearing a orange t-shirt with a thick white stripe down the middle, a orange-and-white jacket tied around his waist to mimic his tails, orange shorts, and red shoes.
"Where's Silver, then?"
"Not sure." Suddenly a silver-haired teen fell out of a tree, falling face-first on the ground. "Ouch."
"Silver!" Nic said. Silver still had a funky hairdo, even as a human, and wore a white long-sleeved shirt with teal stripes down the sleeves and white faux fur on the collar, white pants, and black-and-teal shoes. Nic helped him up.
"Sonic?"
"Actually, the twins who live in that house call me Nic."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure, something about Sonic not being a 'real' name. They're also calling Cream 'Carrie'."
"Well, it is pretty."
"What?" Nic and Tails stared at Silver oddly.
"...Forget I said that."
"Well, if Sonic's not a real name, I guess it wouldn't be fitting to call me Tails anymore."
"Guess you're just Miles again."
"What about me?"
"Venice?"
"...No!"
"Silver is actually a name." Miles commented. Nic and Silver nodded in agreement.
Nic walked into the living room with Miles and Silver. "Guys, look who I...found." Carrie was sitting at the table with a lavender-haired girl and a younger girl with brown-and-black hair in pigtails shaped like boomerangs. They all gaped at each other until Silver ran over to the lavender-haired girl and yelled in her face, "BLAZE! I thought you died!"
"...I thought you didn't remember that."
"I did!"
"What's she calling you guys?" Nic asked.
"Our names, what else?" The pigtailed girl said. On the other side of the room, Sophie and Dezi were actually discussing whether or not Marine was a real name.
"Hey, Marine, remember Tails?"
"How could I forget!" Marine said. She walked over to Miles and shook his hand. "Nice to see you again, Tails!"
"Actually, I'm Miles now."
"Why?" Miles pointed to his jacket. "No more tails." He answered.
"That makes sense."
Terios walked in. His clothes were similar to Silver's, but red and black rather than white and teal. "Oh great, you're back." He grumbled at Nic.
"Lighten up, Shadz."
"Don't call me that!"
In the basement, Sophie and Dezi were studying the emerald Terios had, accompianed by Miles. "So you're saying this is a Chaos Emerald, which is a gem of extreme power?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"And there's seven of them?" Miles nodded.
"And normally, Terios would have blown Dezi up completely with this thing?" Sophie asked.
"Yes."
"But it's a good thing he didn't." Dezi added. "Or else you wouldn't have a brother."
"I'd be happier without one, anyways." Sophie argued. Dezi and Sophie went on yelling at each other until Miles noticed something odd about the Chaos Emerald. It was glowing very brightly and they knew this wasn't right.
