Sonic managed to walk around the house with no problem. He went outside and tried to see how fast he could run with leg brace and was amazed when it didn't slow him down. Blu just smirked when he looked at her confused and amazed.
Sonic: H-How.. how did you make this thing? I-It's incredible!
Blu: That's for me to know, and for you not to. Now can you tell me about Scourge? Are you guys family or something?
Sonic: Y-Yeah, he's the only family I have left. And he wants to kill me.
Blu; oh... but at least you have family... I have no one left.
Sonic: Well you at least had to have lived with your parents right?
Blu:*shakes head* No, I was left in an orphanage. I ran away when I was 3, I found this house abandoned by it's owners. Everything like the furniture and appliances were left behind I guess. Nobody ever came back here. Of course, I did paint all of the rooms blue and even stole some blue furniture like the rug. I just steal the things that I need. When you bumped into me earlier I was stealing food.
Sonic: Wow, you must be pretty tough then eh? I mean, you did give me this huge bruise around my eye. I must say, you have a hard punch.
They both laughed. They were both happy to finally have someone to talk to. Blu was alone for the last two years. She almost forgot what it was like to have nice company.
Blu: So, where do you live? I mean, I haven't seen you before.
Sonic: I don't live anywhere. I'm a runaway. Blu: Why? What are you wanted for?
Sonic: I'm accused of the murder of my own father. Even though I wasn't even there the day he was murdered.
Blu: That must be pretty tough. I'm guessing that's the reason for the hood?
Sonic: Yeah, my mother left it for me, along with the gloves and pants.
Blu: You got any weapons?
Sonic: Yeah I got two shot guns and some ammo. You?
Blu: No, but I have something else.
Sonic: What is it?
Blu:*smirks* Powers..
Sonic: Really? Me too! Can you control them?
Blu: Not really, can you control yours?
Sonic: Not if my life depended on it. What's your powers?
Blu: I can shape shift.
Sonic; No way! I thought the demons killed all of the shape shifters!
Blu: Apparently not all of them. All I know is that I'm the only one left.
Sonic:I heard that there's certain features of a shape shifter that have to stay the same. What's yours?
Blu: I have to stay a female, my green eyes, age, and my fur.
Sonic: Okay, Can you try to shape shift now?
Blu: I'll try.
She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. Her quills began to slowly shrink until there was nothing left. Her ears grew a little bigger. Her muzzle changed white and the fur on it thickened. Her tail grew really long with a little white tuff on the end of it. Her fingers grew small claws and they changed to look more like paws. She opened her green eyes. A blue cat with green eyes and the same clothes stood before Sonic. He gasped in amazement.
Sonic: Wow..
Blu: Pretty neat huh? I sometimes shape shift when I steal stuff. Makes the storekeeper confused.
Sonic: Can you turn into any animal?
Blu: Yeah. But I can't stay in a different form for more than an hour. It takes up too much of my energy.
She shook her head and her spikes and quills grew back. But her tail and ears stayed the same.
Blu: Come on... great, just great..
Sonic: What happened? Why aren't you back to normal?!
Blu: I don't have much control of my powers. Sometimes I get stuck in between transformations. I'm a Hedgecat!
Sonic;*laughs* Yes you are..
Blu:*laughs* It's getting late. You get the bed, I'll sleep on the windowsill.
Sonic: No it's okay, I'll sleep on the windowsill.
Blu: No, I insist.
Sonic: Well, then alright..
Blu was looking more hedgehog than cat now. But she still had a tail. She ignored that fact as she climbed back up to the house. She grabbed some old blankets and put them on the windowsill. Sonic laid down on the bed and they both fell asleep.
