Did you guys liked the last chapter? I hope you were all able to remember Hey Arnold & watched the episode as I mentioned before. Plus, I found Sonaria to be adorable, so think of it as an AU where Maria is alive and Sonic's siblings Sonia & Manic are canon. Now then, someone requested a genderbent story, so all the characters in the Sonic series will switch genders, but their names would either be the same or different. I hope you all like it!

"Achoo!"

"Gesundheit."

"Thanks- Achoo!"

"Bless you."

"Achoo!"

"Here," Tails handed her sister a box of tissues.

Sonic quickly thanked her, grabbed a tissue, and blew her nose into it. "Man, I hate it!"

Tails used the thermometer to scan her forehead, and the results showed what it said. "Close to 101 F. You need to stay in bed until your fever goes away."

"But it's so boring!" Sonic groaned. "I'm more of a runner than a sleeper!"

Tails rolled her eyes. "It's for your own good, Sonic. No more running until your body temperature goes back to 98.6 F."

"Then who's gonna stop Eggwoman from destroying the city!?"

"Knuckles, Andy, & I will protect the city."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. You need to remain in bed until you're fully recovered, sis."

"For how long?"

"About a couple of days."

Sonic groaned. "Stupid cold."

"It's a fever," Tails dipped a cloth in cool water filled in a basin, wringed it, and placed it across Sonic's forehead. "Now get some rest. I'll go downstairs and make some chicken soup for you."

Patting her arm, Tails hopped off the chair and left the bedroom, heading downstairs to where the kitchen is. As for Sonic, she remained under the covers on her blue bed, moaning in agony as she sniffed, hoping this cold would go away soon. She usually never gets sick, but somehow, she caught this cold after getting covered in pollen from Dr. Eggwoman's robot that was destroying the forest.

Fortunately, she was able to stop the robot, but did not get rid of all the pollen covering her quills, fur, and clothes. Because of that, she woke up groggy and dizzy, and her nose was stuffy since she couldn't stop sneezing. It was harder for her to get up and move around, which is why she had to remain in bedrest, prompting Tails to be the one to take care of her.

It's usually the other way around since Tails is usually the sick one while Sonic nurses her back to health. But for now, Sonic will have to make sure Tails doesn't get sick from her, because being sick is awful, and she would not want anyone else to feel this way, except for Dr. Eggwoman because she wants her to suffer the effects of feeling ill.

Letting out a tired yawn, Sonic closed her eyes, feeling the drowsy effects of the medicine she took earlier kick in. Maybe some sleep can help her feel better by tomorrow, because you never know what's gonna happen if the blue heroine isn't there to prevent Eggwoman from wreaking havoc to the city.

She felt something cool patting her cheeks, until it rested on her forehead. Her ears picked up on a couple of voices, recognizing one voice as Tails. But the other, it was familiar though it was hard to tell. She did felt a small hand patting her arm, informing her that she will return with more medicine and groceries. Then, the door opened and closed, as the person left.

Sonic thought she was alone again, but felt the presence of another person in her room. Is it the person whom Tails was talking to earlier? Did they have a guest over? It can't be Knuckles since she never leaves the Floating Island due to her duty as the guardian of the Master Emerald. Andy went to visit Blaze, and Sonic knew because she saw the post on Andy's social media account.

As she listed the number of friends in her head who could possibly be here with the familiar aura, she heard the voice speak to her.

"Sonic, you must stay in bed. We can't race if you're still sick."

Opening her heavy eyelids, Sonic glanced over to see a familiar figure standing at the foot of her bed. "S-Shadow?"

Shadow had her arms folded under her ample bosom. She was dressed in a black tank-top with a red and black jacket over it that had white fluff at the top, white gloves, golden inhibitor rings on her wrists and ankles, black pants with white stripes that matched her white belt, her roller skates that she dubbed her air shoes, and her black and red quills were pulled into a high ponytail.

"Before you say anything, I only came to see why you weren't at our usual spot for our race this morning. The fox informed me you were unwell, so I had to come and see for myself."

Sonic smirked a little, letting out a small cough. "Aww, you were worried about me?"

"To make sure you're still alive and breathing, not because of your illness."

"You're worried about me."

"I advise you to go back to sleep. The medicine you just took is making you say weird things."

Sonic wanted to retort, but decided not to as she didn't feel like arguing with her rival. Instead, she muttered to herself as she went back to sleep. "Thanks for checking up on me, Shads."

Shadow couldn't open her mouth when she heard Sonic softly snoring, indicating she had now fallen asleep. Rolling her eyes, she sat down on the chair, looking at her rival's peaceful expression. It was the first time she had ever seen the blue hedgehog appear so relaxed, almost as if she doesn't have a care in the world. Though Shadow could tell Sonic can never relax all the time due to Dr. Eggwoman wreaking havoc in the city.

Adding in spending time with her friends, going out on a run, rarely taking any breaks for herself unless there is no bad guy creating destruction and mayhem, it felt like Sonic had a lot on her shoulder. Sighing, Shadow glanced at Sonic with a soft expression. "Get some rest, Sonic. I'll make sure the doctor or any other villain won't harm the city or the citizens."

Checking to make sure no one is looking; she leaned forward and patted her head. "Once you've recovered, let's reschedule our race. Only this time, the loser must buy the winner coffee and tiramisu."

I hope you guys liked it! I wanted to make it a little fluffy with Fem Sonadow, so I hope it works! The next one-shot will have a surprise theme, and remember to review and comment!
