A/N: this story became strangely popular. because of that, I've decided to ignore my update schedule (which I was already ignoring) and add another chapter. First a few shout-outs to some of the reviewers.

Streaky the Tiger: Glad you're enjoying this! If you're hoping to get a learning experience out of this, this chapter might give you an example on what not to do when writing canon characters.

Guest 2: I'll make sure you hate Mary-Sues by chapter 3. Nice to know you'll be sticking around. I'll make sure you aren't disappointed.

Yoshizilla: Dang, had I known you'd be here I'd have rolled out the red carpet. Its nice to know someone FF famous is reading this.

Gamergirl: This is the third time I've seen you! Why are you everywhere I turn!? Still, thanks for enjoying. Hopefully you didn't have to wait too long.

Everyone else: Even though I've paired you all together, it's not to say your reviews aren't important. I thank all of you for taking the time to read and review. In fact, a thanks to everyone who picked my story out of thousands upon thousands of stories! You're all great!

With those out of the way, lets move one to the actual story.

No amount of training could prepare Sonic for the absolute torture he went through. Having never gone to high school (or any school for that matter) Sonic didn't know what to expect. He certainly didn't think that school would just be him sitting in a chair writing whatever the teacher told you to. It seemed easy at first until he realized a horrifying truth: it was the most boring thing in history. To make things worse, it was history! A bunch of stuff that happened years ago which, to Sonic, felt like an absolutely pointless thing to present was all that really mattered.

"Shadow would love this class." Sonic thought to himself.

Sonic decided it was better to not take notes or pay attention. Not just because it was killing him on the inside, but because he felt doing so would make him like the students here, which would be exactly what FF Ryde Er wanted. Sonic figured that if he could defy Ryde, her power would weaken. At the very least, he didn't want to live following Ryde's plans. Unfortunately for Sonic, not doing anything had its own consequences. Sitting still wasn't easy for the hyper hedgehog; he felt that he'd explode from built up energy if he kept sitting in that class. Eventually, he managed to fall asleep, hoping that a nap would make the time go faster.

…

….

"Mr. Sonic! Care to wake up?" came a voice.

Sonic opened his eyes to see an elderly Echidna looking down at him. Sonic, forgetting that teachers were an authority, replied with a snarky: "Why yes! I'd love to wake up from my nap to waste my time learning about someone else's time."

The class gasped at Sonic's remark and the teachers face grew to an even brighter shade of red. He was ticked.

"Mister Sonic, I will not have that tone in my classroom! Get out of here and report to the principal's office immediately!"

"I get to leave? Alright!"

Sonic leaped out of his chair and ran out the door into the hallways. He didn't care if he had to report to some principal, he was free! Granted, he felt a little guilty about being so unnecessarily snarky to the man who was just doing his job, but he didn't feel guilty enough to run back and apologize. He arrived at the oak door with the word "principal" marked on the glass and walked inside. Whoever was in there was bound to be some sort of authority. One that could probably get him out of school. If he could convince the principal that he wasn't supposed to be here and that a mysterious lady changed reality so that everyone would have to go to school and he was the only one who knew that reality had been changed for some reason, then he would be that much closer to stopping Ryde. Not to mention, the principal could probably help by notifying GUN or someone with enough bulk to undo whatever it is Ryde did to this world. Sonic had done it. By defying the school system he could escape and return everything to normal. He just had to convince the principal...

"More School!?"

Sonic was currently in the cafeteria with his tray on the lunch table. Standing next to him was Tails.

"So they're aware that being here is like being in prison and their punishment for trying escape and save the world is more school?"

Sonic's meeting with the principal hadn't gone at all as Sonic had planned. The principal got irritated by Sonic's story and told him to spend more time focusing in class so he wouldn't dream about cloaked, reality changing villains that found entertainment in watching people go to school. He then sentenced Sonic to after school detention as punishment for disrespectful behavior. Needless to say, Sonic was even further away from getting things back to normal.

Sonic balled up the detention slip and threw it in the nearby wastebin.

"Forget this!" He said. "I'm not spending anymore time here than I already have. I'm gonna bust out and give FF Ryde Er a well deserved head-kick."

Tails had a panicked expression upon seeing his friend discard his detention notice.

"Sonic, you can't just skip detention!" He warned. "They might kick you out of school or something!"

"If my punishment for not staying here for another minute is getting kicked out, then I'm definitely not going. This whole world is a lie Tails! You'll thank me when I get us out of here."

Tails just rolled his eyes and sat at one of tables. Sonic joined him and was surprised to see who else was sitting there.

"Knuckles? Amy? Silver? Blaze? Shadow? Rouge? Cream? What are you guys doing here?"

"We sit here all the time, Sonic. Or have you forgotten the table you specifically picked out for us last year?" Explained Rouge.

"Oh yeah," laughed Silver. "Sonic ran to this table and waved like crazy for us all to sit with him. Then he declared it as our personal table for all time."

Everyone laughed at this memory. Everyone but Sonic.

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked Sonic. "I never did any of that! This school never existed last year. This school didn't exist until a few hours ago! You know what really happened last year? Dr. Eggman freed the god of destruction, Chaos, from the Master Emerald that Knuckles was doing a lousy job of guarding. We collected the emeralds, fought Chaos, Eggman and each other and then I used the emeralds to go super so I could defeat Chaos in his perfect form!"

Knuckles laughed at him and everyone else joined in with him. " Did you dream about that while we were in history, Sonic?"

"I heard about that. Did you really think you could get away with sleeping in class?" Asked Blaze.

Shadow turned to Sonic after taking a sip of water. "Maybe if you stayed awake, you wouldn't be behind me in every single class, faker."

"Are you still calling him that, Shadow?" asked Tails. "It's not like Sonic deliberately copied everything you did."

"He didn't deliberately copy my classes, my clothes and my after school clubs?" Retorted Shadow. "Faker here has been trying to copy my style every since we got to this school. And he's doing a pretty bad job of it."

"That's not why you called me faker, faker!" Said Sonic. "You thought I was copying you when we fought in the jungle, and I wasn't even copying you. You were created 40 years before I was even born by Gerald Robotnik, the genocidal grandfather of Dr. Eggman! How come none of you remember this? What did Ryde do to you guys?"

"Is Sonic telling stories again?" Came a feminine, yet monotone and robotic voice.

Taking a place at the table was Cosmo.

"Who are you?" Asked Sonic. "You seem kinda famil - aaugh!"

Sonic felled backwards from his and yelled in pain. He felt like his brain was being torn in two. After a few seconds of screaming, the pain subsided.

"What happened?" Asked Sonic.

He hadn't noticed his voice had gotten slightly deeper and his fur turned into a darker shade of blue.

"Oh, hey Cosmo." Sonic spent a second thinking about what he just said. "Wait, Cosmo!"

"Yes, Sonic?" She asked.

"You're supposed to be dead!" Exclaimed Sonic.

"That's a rather mean thing to say." Came another female voice.

Between Knuckles and Rouge sat an orange echidna that was just out of Sonic's immediate sight. Sonic turned his head to find another person who shouldn't have been alive: Tikal.

"This isn't right. I mean, it's great to see you two again, but this isn't right!" Sonic was horrified. As great as it was to see his old friends again, he knew this wasn't supposed to be happening. He was also started to get truly worried of FF Ryde Er. Whoever this girl was, she could change reality, create fake memories, change the personalities of his friends, bring his friends back from the dead, change time and space and no one would know except her. And himself. Sonic began to feel that this was an enemy unlike any he'd ever faced before. She didn't want to take over the world because she'd already done it and can now freely do whatever she wants with it.

"Are you feeling alright, Sonic?" Asked Tails. He seemed genuinely worried. Sonic guessed Ryde could only change so much. "You've been acting weird all day."

"It's nothing Tails. Forget it." Sonic stared at his lunch in dismay. He couldn't convince his friends or anyone for that matter. FF Ryde Er had taken away everything from him and no one else knew. Sonic knew he had to stop Ryde, and he would, but it dawned on him that he couldn't ask his friends for help. This was something he'd have to do on his own.

"Nothing? You mean like all of you losers?"

Sonic's head snapped to look at whoever was standing behind him. No matter how much the world changed, no one justs insults Sonic the Hedgehog.

"And just who are you supposed to be? Queen of the Knothole?" Retorted Sonic.

"What's a Knothole?" Asked Cosmo.

Sonic scratched his head. "I'm not sure actual - eeeeeiiiiiiii!"

Once again, Sonic fell to the floor and felt his head breaking in two. After the pain subsided, Sonic grew a bit shorter and his voice grew to a slightly higher pitch. Once he picked himself back up, he identified the insulting voice as Sally Acorn.

"Sally! You're here too!"

Silver grumbled and looked away. "She's been here since the first year of school and never gives us the chance to forget it. She's a huge bitch and the worst person ever."

The fact that Silver swore registered in Sonic's mind but he was more concerned with Sally being here and insulting him.

"Sally, what did Ryde do to you? You aren't like this."

Sally just laughed at him. "Who's this Ryde person? Is she a girl you were dreaming about in class? It makes sense since no girl would ever want to date a loser like you!"

"You would." Sonic grumbled.

Sally hadn't heard him and turned to walk off. "Anyway, I think I'll be going now before people think I actually hang out with you losers. Have a nice day!"

Sonic could almost feel his heart sinking. Ryde couldn't just change his friend's memories; she could change his friend's personalities. She could take away everything that made them who they are and replace it with whatever she wanted. As disheartening as it all was, it only gave Sonic more incentive to stop Ryde. There was no way he was going to let her control his friends like this.

"God, I hate her." Said Amy.

"Hate is a strong word, Amy. But I agree, I really wish she'd find something better to do with her time than bully us." Complained Cosmo.

Sonic turned to look at the green haired girl who just finished talking.

He asked, "hey, who are yo - oooooouuuuuuuu!"

Sonic had another splitting headache and collapsed to the floor for the third time.

After more grueling hours, the final bell eventually rang and everyone was let out. Sonic was quick to join them.

"I'm finally out of that place!" Yelled Sonic as he rushed through the exit door. "Alright Ryde, I don't know where you are, but you can't run or hide from Sonic the Hedgehog!"

Sonic ran through the city streets to the lamppost where he first met Ryde. He didn't know why he thought he'd find her there, but it was his only lead. When he reached it he was disappointed to find that Ryde wasn't there.

"Now where can I find her if she isn't here?" Asked Sonic to himself. He hadn't noticed his fur returning to a bright blue shade, his height increasing back to normal and his voice returning to what sounded like a sarcastic teenager.

"I don't get it." A female voice echoed somehow echoed through the open street. Sonic recognized the voice. He recognized how it manages to come from everywhere, not just one place.

The voice spoke again, "why is it that no matter how much I try, I can't control what happens to you? I can write this world, your friends, everything, but you get to keep ruining the story."

Sonic could feel his blood boil at the last sentence. "I'm ruining things? This 'story' was garbage the moment you changed my world. Why don't you change everything back, go away, and learn to write a real story? One that doesn't suck!"

Sonic could feel the ground rumble. In a flash of light, a person in a black cloak appeared.

"You take that back you jerk! This story is great!"

Sonic chuckled to himself. He inadvertently brought FF Ryde Er out of hiding. Sonic still couldn't see her face because of the hood, and her voice echoed so he couldn't tell how old she was, he was still assuming it was girl, but he knew this was the person that was ruining his world. This time, he wasn't giving her a chance to get away. He jumped up and did a spin dash right at her, determined to take her down and make her fix things. He rushed in a blue blur and

Missed.

Rather, he went through her as if she wasn't even there.

"You can't hurt me." She said. "I'm above you. I'm a being beyond anything in this world. To me, you aren't even real."

"Oh yeah?" Sonic bent his knees, ready to attack again. "Well then I guess I'll have to ask nicely again. Change everything back!"

"No. I don't want to. Besides, it's better this way." FF Ryde Er began to fade away. "Why don't you just cooperate? This is how things are. Everyone likes it better this way anyways. Now go back to school so I can continue the story."

"Go back to school?" Sonic asked. "I just got out of there. Why on earth would I go back? Besides, the sun's setting."

Ryde scoffed. "It's only over when I say its over.

And once again,

Sonic

Whoa, this took me much longer to write than it was supposed to. It's not like I wasn't writing anything. I was working on a one-shot but it never quite panned out. I also lost motivation for this story for a few weeks but a quick run through the reviews brought that back. If you guys are willing to take the time to review and enjoy a story, it isn't fair for me to stop posting. Now a few things to address in this chapter:

This chapter was made to address out of characterness, or OOC for short. People have mixed views about this but when you change the personality of a character its like your not even using that character, just an OC in disguise. For instance, Sally. I don't know why this is, but people (mostly Sonamy fans) seem to enjoy using a continuity in which Sally exists and then turning her into a completely hateful bitch so that Amy looks better in comparison. I never understood this. Sally appears in one out of three continuities. Amy exists in all three. If you don't like Sally, just use a different continuity. There's no point in writing Sally just to slander her character.

Next is the headaches Sonic had. For those wondering what that is, Sonic suffers multiple continuity disorder, a mental disorder that affects fictional characters who exist in multiple continuities. Sonic, having a video game series, comic book series and cartoon series, definitely suffers this. Normally, a character never suffers any attacks from this disorder, but when faced with anything from a specific continuity, said character will have a violent headache and will adjust to the continuity. Sonic, upon seeing Cosmo, painfully shifted from his video game mind to his Sonic X mind. Then he saw Sally, which switched him to his comic book mind. Seeing Cosmo again sent him back to Sonic X. Being a video game character, Sonic would eventually return to his base form overtime so long as nothing continuity specific interferes. This is why we don't mix continuities. Everytime you do it a characters head goes through a meat grinder. I also completely made this up.

Anyhow, hope you guys enjoyed and keep reading. Next chapter will introduce two very horrible characters and should be up before a month's time. Also, the original length of the story, 25 chapters has been shorted as a few chapters weren't needed/weren't worth their own chapter. Sally, for instance, was going to have her own chapter before I fused it with this one.
