I told you guys I'd have it up! Oh man, I am so sorry for the wait ^^; that really wasn't cool of me… But I pulled through didn't I?! …I'm going to shut up now and let you read~

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from the Sonic franchise, only Sega does. I do, however, own the plot of this fanfiction and any original characters I decide to throw in it.

Myrica ended up staying over at Sonic's house anyway. She had forgotten her bag on the couch and had gone back to get it… only to find it in a female hedgehog's hands. This lady hedgehog ended up being Sonic's sister, Sonia. She was a pink and purple hedgehog with really big pink hair that hung in front of her eyes slightly. She wore a red shirt, electric blue skirt, leggings, and heels, a purple and gray vest, and gloves of the same color. To finish off the ensemble, she wore a light gray belt with a buckle that appeared to be keys on a piano or keyboard. Of all the anthropomorphic animals that Myrica had seen, Sonia was surprisingly the most clothed.

"Now, who's this?" Sonia had asked, crossing her arms. Sonic, who had apparently gotten back from his run and was standing behind Sonia, looked like he was having a hernia.

Myrica bowed and replied in a calm voice, "My name is Myrica. As for why I'm here, I'm on a mission. That mission requires me to stay on Mobius for a little while; however, I lack a place to stay. I had been hoping Mr. Sonic the Hedgehog knew of any place I could reside in for a while.

Sonia clapped her hands together, making Myrica rise from her bow. The magenta hedgehog smiled gleefully, "Well in that case, you can totally stay here! It'd be good for Nikki to be around some more ladies." She winked at Sonic. "Lil' estrogen never hurt anyone!" To this, Sonic's face of pain only worsened.

So now here Myrica was, lying on the couch of the hedgehog family's living room. She thought about how in the morning, her very own existence would begin to crumble and wither away. She knew, though, that if this all worked out, everyone would be a lot happier. She was tired of seeing people cry.

Tails opened his eyes to a blinding white light that made him wince. He closed his eyes tightly and turned his head away. 'I always keep the curtains in my room closed… Wait.' He was in his room! Hadn't he dozed off on the couch last night? Maybe Sonic or someone came by and moved him last night? No… That didn't feel right. He vaguely remembered waking up sometime… Wasn't there someone else there though? Tails shrugged. It was probably just him sleep-walking again. He did that occasionally.

The fox stretched and made his way out of bed, only to stop in his tracks. Something STILL didn't feel right. He felt like one of the bears from that Goldilocks story that Chris had told him once on the Blue Typhoon. He walked over to his dresser and opened the drawers which he kept the clothes he never wore but his mother still insisted on buying for him. Instead of seeing very neat and maybe even slightly dusty stacks of folded clothing, Tails saw a drawer that appeared to have been frantically rummaged through. This put the Kitsune off. Did someone break into his house? Did they think there was things worth of value in his dresser? Pretty lousy thieves if you asked him. But what if they were still in his house? These thoughts spurred Tails into action. He quickly grabbed his cell phone and a light baseball bat he had gotten from Earth out of his closet. Slowly he made his way to his bedroom door and paused to see if anyone was behind. All clear. As he was opening the door, the hinges creaked and groaned, causing Tails to jump and nearly knock his head on the frame. He'd have to oil those later.

When he got to the door leading to the kitchen, he had to stop. His fears came true when he heard the sound of light footsteps and mumbling that Tails couldn't make out coming from behind the door. The footsteps would sound far away for a while, and then really close, then far again, as if someone was pacing right in front of the door. Tails waited until the footsteps sounded from just behind the simple white door separating Tails from the intruder. He then squeezed his eyes shut, prayed to God it wasn't Knuckles or Amy, and slammed the door open with all his might. The door hit the intruder square in the face. They fell backward into the wall Tails and his family hung the pots and pans from. Just as the intruder fell onto their butt, a large soup pot fell from the wall, turned over in mid-air so that the opening was facing down, and fell, comically, right on top of the unsuspecting head of the intruder, obscuring their head from vision, and making them practically blind.

"A-ah!" They yelped, shaking their head wildly in alarmed confusion. "W-what just happened? …Help?"

That voice! No. It couldn't be. Tails froze, the baseball bat falling to the floor with a clang. It was impossible! It just couldn't be. In an almost mechanical way, Tails made his way to the fallen 'intruder'. He knelt down in front of them and with shaking hands, removed the pot from their head, which he immediately dropped with another clang. Tails was shaking uncontrollably now.

"Hi, Tails." Was all Cosmo was able to muster out before said fox was out cold on the kitchen floor.

I know it's super duper short, I had to stop typing and get off the computer before I could type up the rest of the chapter I had written down, so I will be updating this exact chapter soon. Okay. Thank you soooo much for all the views, I hit 500 and it made me super duper happy. I'm sorry for the intense wait and all that jazz and yeah... Okay I'm done now.

PLEASE R&R~ It makes me want to keep putting these out there ^_^
