SONICA'S POV
"Sonica, wake up! Sonica!" said Shadow as he shook me gently.
"Five more minutes, professor.." I mumbled against the pillow, I was still asleep.
"Professor?" he whispered.
He sighed and splashed water on me. I woke up quicky, I almost got a mini-heart attack.
"What happened? Is this the end of the world?" I said quickly while looking around the room.
Shadow just stared at me and then handed me a towel. I took it and dried my fur.
"Shadow, when did you wake up? I will make something for you to eat." I said as I started to walk to the kitchen.
"Who is professor?" asked Shadow in a stern voice.
I stopped and turned to him.
"Answer me." he said again.
Should I tell him...? Will it be right..
He stepped towards me and looked at me in the eyes.
"Tell me what are you hiding?" he said again.
"Nothing.." I said quickly as I tried to sneak to the kitchen but he grabbed my hand and said, "Tell me, Sonica. You know you can trust me."
I sighed. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I walked to the door and opened it.
"Morning, Sonica and....Shadow." said Sonic.
"Morning." I replied.
Shadow had crossed his arms.
"I was thinking if you would like to hang out today." said Sonic.
I opened my mouth to speak but got cut off by Shadow.
"We have some important talk here. So, leave us alone for a while." said Shadow.
Sonic looked at me then at Shadow. "Well, I would like to know what that important talk is." said Sonic as he crossed his arms.
"It's none of your business." Shadow protested.
"Yes, its my business. I mean...I-I have the right to know!" Sonic protested as well.
"No, you don't." said Shadow.
"Yes, I do!" said Sonic.
They kept arguing with each other. I clenched my fists as I lost my temper and shouted, "Enough now!!"
They froze.
"I will tell you what you want to know, okay?!" I said a bit angrily.
Shadow nodded and asked, "Who is Professor?"
I took a deep breath and I told them everything about that orphanage, Professor and Eva but I didn't tell anything about my powers nor Dr. James. After I finished talking, I looked at them only to realize that they were staring at me from the beginning.
"Is there something left to say?" Shadow crossed his arms.
"What the...Shadow! She has been through alot and you are asking for more?!!" said Sonic.
I growled slightly, "Don't show pity on me."
Sonic just blinked.
"Sonica, tell me, is there something else you are hiding on purpose?" asked Shadow.
I shook my head slowly.
He sighed and said, "Maybe one day, you will tell me."
I didn't know what to say...
Sonic just looked at me with an indescribable expression on his face.
I sighed then, Sonic held my hands and said, "Sonica, I-we are here for you, okay?"
I nodded slowly.
"Oh! Your birthday is also coming, soon!!" said Sonic cheerfully.
My eyes widened a bit. Birthdays were the days my powers would go hyper.
"Sonica, what's wrong?" asked Sonic and Shadow in unison.
I shook my head and said, "N-Nothing. Its just..I d-don't like birthdays."
Shadow sighed.
"What? Why?" asked Sonic.
I looked down but didn't say anything.
Then, Sonic got a call from Amy.
"Sonic, where are you?! I had sent you to bring Sonica and Shadow!" said Amy.
"Y-yeah, I forgot. We will be there soon." said Sonic and cut the call.
Shadow and I looked at Sonic with a confused look.
"Amy wants us to meet at Tails house today." said Sonic again.
"Why?" asked Shadow.
"Um..I donno. She just called me and said to bring you guys there and Sonica's communicator was also broken." replied Sonic.
How did he know my communicator was broken? Oh..right..He must have seen it on the table.
"Well, let's go now." he said again.
I looked at Shadow and nodded. Then, we walked out.
"Lets not hurry. We will walk slowly I mean like normal people." said Sonic with a nervous grin.
I chuckled and we continued to walk.
"So Shadow, how are you feeling here?" asked Sonic.
Shadow didn't answer.
Sonic ignored him and focused on me. "Can I ask something Sonica?" He said.
I nodded.
"Why do you always wear that rings/bracelets on your wrists and ankles? And why were you scared when Manic took one of your rings?" he asked.
Why did he have to ask such questions?! Whyyy?!
I took a deep breath to hold back a growl and said, "because I like to wear them, that's all." I didn't look at him tho.
I could never look at someone in the eyes while lying.
"Inhibitor rings..?" Shadow whispered.
I nodded slowly. Sonic smirked.
"What?" I asked.
"Oh I was just thinking if I could try one of these on." said Sonic as he held out a ring.
My eyes widened. I looked at my wrists and one ring was missing.
"Give it back!!" I tried to snatch it but he didn't even let me touch it.
"Nope." he smirked.
"Calm down, Sonica, you don't wanna let your secret out, do you?" I thought to myself but he kept smirking.
I growled and pounced on him, making him fall on his back. "Give it back, Sonic!" I growled.
He chuckled and got up. "Nope." he smirked and ran away while shouting, "Come and get it!"
"Oh, I will." I growled and ran after him.
SHADOW'S POV
"Oh, I will." Sonica growled and ran after Sonic.
I rolled my eyes. "So childish." I said and ran after them.
"Sonic!! Give it back!!" I heard Sonica shouting as she was chasing Sonic.
"Nooo!!" He kept running.
I swear I would kill him if he made her cry. But Sonica was not from the one who cries so easily. They kept chasing eachother and ran into Tail's lab. I ran after them.
"H-Hey, stop you two!" Tails said as he was holding the chemical tubes and Sonic and Sonica were running around, creating a mess.
"I said give it back!!" Sonica growled.
"Sonic give her what she wants!" said Amy but I think he didn't listen to her.
They kept running until Sonic bumped to a chamber and fell down, making its door open. But Sonica stumbled over him and fell into the chamber and the chamber got closed.
"Oh no!" Tails grabbed his head.
Sonica said something but we couldn't hear it.
"Sonic!!" Everyone shouted. He gulped. Then something blue flashed inside the chamber.
"Tails..." Amy whispered and then the chamber opened slowly.
Everyone was shocked!! S-Sonica had turned into a small baby and she was crying... Everyone except me, Sonic and Tails were like "Aww."
She looked just the same like I saw her in the Ark many years ago...
Amy picked her up in her arms, "Aww, don't cry, little Sonica." Amy poked her cheeks softly and she sniffled and stop crying.
"Awww." said everyone else.
"Tails! W-What? And How?!" shouted Sonic and Sonica started to cry again.
Amy cradled her slowly, making her calm down.
"This machine was made to shrink the size of non living objects but I didn't know that it would reduce the age of living-creatures... Sonica's clothes were non-living objects which got shrunk but Sonica was a living creature so she...turned to a baby.." said Tails.
Sonic looked at Sonica worriedly and asked, "When will she become normal?"
Tails looked at Sonica and thought for a while and said, "I will try to reverse the machine. It may take a while, maybe a day.."
Sonic looked at Sonica and sighed quietly. "But what do we do now?" asked Sonic.
"You will have to babysit her." said Amy.
"What?! I can't. You do it." said Sonic.
"I would, but..I promised Sticks that.." Sticks cut off Amy and said, "That she will rummage through the garbage with me!"
Amy sighed and handed Sonica to Sonic but she started whining and I took her in my arms. She was so..soft. She nuzzled into my chest fur and mumbled something. I chuckled slightly.
"See? Shadow can babysit her." said Amy.
"What...?" I looked at Amy.
"But you can take care of her, can't you?" asked Amy.
"Anyways, Sonic will be here to help you." said Sticks.
"Why me?" asked Sonic.
"Because you are the only one who has no work and keeps running here and there." said Amy.
Sonic opened his mouth to speak but closed it again.
"She has a point." said Sticks.
"And what about Knuckles?" asked Sonic.
"Knuckles will also help you babysit her." said Sticks.
"Oh, okay." said Knuckles and he stepped towards Sonica and made funny faces, making her giggle.
She was really...cute.
"So. The problem's solved. Until Tails reverses his machine, you three will take care of her. We will be back soon. Take care of her." said Amy and they walked out of there.
I looked down at Sonica. She was playing with my chest fur. I cleared my throat and she looked up at me.
"Alright, Tails do it as soon as possible." said Sonic.
Then, we went to Sonic's house, so that Tails would not be disturbed.
"Well, how hard can it be, right?" said Sonic.
I looked down at Sonica and placed her carefully on the floor. She started crawling, a slight smirk was on my face.
"Awww." Sonic kneeled down infront of her.
She looked at him and tilted her head slightly. Then, Knuckles kneeled down beside Sonic and she crawled to Knuckles.
"Hey.. " said Sonic, a bit disappointedly.
Then she looked at Sonic and mumbled something. No one could understand that mumbling.
"Hm...I liked the grown up version of you." said Sonic as he rubbed her head softly but she growled.
I chuckled.
"Why do you hate me so much?" asked Sonic.
She stopped growling. Then, she crawled to me and opened her arms, mumbling something. I picked her up.
"I am hungry now. Lets eat something." said Knuckles.
"To the Meh-Burger!"
-- At Meh-Burger --
Sonic and Knuckles took a huge bite of their chilli dogs. Sonica was on my lap. Then she mumbled something and tried to take Sonic's chilli dog.
"No no no no. This is not for babies." said Sonic as he finished his chilli dog real quick.
Sonica looked at Knuckles and he finished his chilli dog as well. She growled. I smirked.
"You should eat your baby food." said Sonic.
She looked up at me, I smirked again.
Then, Sonic quickly got some baby food and started to feed her but she refused to eat. She whined and moved her head again and again.
"Come on!" Sonic tried to feed her again and this time he managed to put some food inside her mouth but..she spit it out on his face.
Knuckles and I laughed.
"You are useless, faker." I said with a smirk.
He growled slightly.
"She is stubborn like you, Shadow." He said.
I rolled my eyes and placed her on the table. She grabbed the spoon.
"Oh looks like she will eat by herself." said Knuckles but she put the spoon in Sonic's mouth.
I snickered.
"Why you little..." Sonic took the spoon out and growled at her.
And I was surprised to see that she wasn't scared. She growled back at him. Sonic sighed. I chuckled again.
"I hope Tails finishes his work soon." said Sonic.
I looked at Sonica.
Then, a small spider came crawling on the table and Sonica started crying. Sonic quickly shooed the spider away but she was still crying. I gently picked her up and held her close to my chest. She sniffled. I patted her back softly. She sniffled and looked at me.
"Looks like Shadow is a nice mother." said Sonic.
"Shut up!" I growled lowly.
They chuckled. Sonica mumbled something to me. I tilted my head slightly. Just then someone snapped a picture us.
"Who was that?!" I growled.
Eggman chuckled.
"It's you." I glared at him.
Then, Orbot and Cubot started playing with Sonica.
"Aw, you look good while baby sitting, Shadow." said Eggman.
I growled.
"Aw, look how small she is." Eggman poked her cheek and she growled.
"Oo, she is just as grumpy as you, Shadow." He pulled his hand away.
"I know, right!" Sonic chuckled.
I rolled my eyes. Then, Sonic took her in his arms and I crossed my arms. She looked at Eggman then at Sonic.
"Aww, little Sonica." Sonic nuzzled her cheek, she giggled and mumbled, "Sowica.."
Eggman and Sonic chuckled.
"Well, good luck with the baby sitting. I will be back soon with my new robots!" said Eggman as he started to walk away, Orbot and Cubot waved at Sonica before following Eggman.
Sonica mumbled and waved back. Sonic chuckled.
But suddenly she started crying.
"W-What's wrong?" asked Sonic as he cradled her.
"She must be hungry!" said Knuckles.
"Shadow, here. I will be back soon." Sonic handed me Sonica and quickly ran away.
He came back real quick with a pacifier and a bottle of milk. Then Sonic handed the bottle to me and I started to feed her. Hopefully, she stopped crying as she sucked the milk from the bottle. Everyone sighed with relief.
"Hasn't Tails reversed the machine yet?" I asked.
Sonic shook his head and said, "No, I just went to his house. He was still working."
I sighed and looked down at Sonica.
Then, we went back to Sonic's house. I sat down with Sonica on my lap. She was playing with some toys that Knuckles had brought. Sonic sat infront of me and played with Sonica. Sonica was not crying because she was sucking the pacifier in her mouth. It was finally peaceful but..not for long when she crawled to the door.
"I..don't think she will run away, right?" whispered Sonic.
"I think so.." I whispered back but...Sonica crawled out.
"Hurry!" We three ran after her, and as she was small her speed was slower than mine and Sonic's.
"Where did she go?" We looked around.
"There!" Sonic pointed at the fruit stall. I teleported there and was about to catch her but she crawled away again. (She was crawling fast due to her super speed.) "You little..." I chased after her but then she disappeared.
"Where did she go now?!" I growled.
We looked around and saw her at the top of a house.
"Our baby!!!" We shouted and the people around us stared at us like "wtf...."
I and Sonic cleared our throats and I quickly teleported to her and quickly caught her. She whined and I sighed.
"Man..that was embarrassing. It never felt so embarrassing when Lady Walrus shouted 'My babyy!!'." Sonic muttered. Knuckles nodded slowly.
Then, we quickly went back to Sonic's house and we sighed deeply, Sonica yawned. I placed her on the hammock and she slowly closed her eyes. Then she fell asleep. We sighed with relief.
"What now?" asked Knuckles.
"Some rest." Sonic and I said in unison.
- Time skip - In the evening -
We were resting peacefully until... Sonica woke up. We gave her a bottle of milk and turned on the T.V for her to watch. She watched T.V for sometime, while sucking the milk from the bottle. We had to keep an eye on her. I sighed. Then, she mumbled something and pointed at the pony in the T.V.
"Noo no no no no no nooo." said Sonic.
-- After a few seconds --
Sonic whined as Sonica was on Sonic's back and he was her pony. I tried not to laugh.
Sonica patted his head and mumbled something like "Sowic..powy..."
Sonic sighed and ran in circles, acting like a pony. She squealed happily. I snickered. And then, Sonic got a call from Tails.
"Please tell me you have finished!!" cried Sonic.
"Y-yeah, I have... Come soon. Amy and Sticks have just reached here." said Tails and cut the call.
I picked her up in my arms and we quickly went to Tails's lab.
"Quick!! This little devil is going to kill me!!" complained Sonic.
"Okay okay relax. Put her in the chamber." said Tails.
"Wait.. before we turn her back to her normal age, lets take some pictures." said Amy.
Sonic growled at Sonica and she growled back at her.
"Alright, do it quick." he said.
Then, Amy clicked some (many) photos of Sonica, including us.
Sonica whined and didn't stay still but I held her close and she nuzzled my chest fur. Amy snapped a picture.
"Alright. Its time to get our Sonica back." said Amy.
I nodded and placed her in the chamber. She looked at me as if she was going to cry. "Shadada.." she mumbled while whining.
"Aww.." Amy chuckled.
Then, Tails closed the chamber and pressed some buttons. Then, again something blue flashed inside the chamber. And when the chamber opened, we saw our Sonica!
"Sonica!!" Amy and Sticks hugged her.
I, Sonic, Knuckles and Tails took a very very very very deep sigh of relief.
"What had happened?" asked Sonica as she rubbed her head.
"You turned into a baby and Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles babysitted you and Tails finally reversed the machine and we also took some pictures and.." Sticks breathed heavily.
Sonica just blinked. Then, she looked at us and asked, "Are you guys okay?"
We nodded slowly.
"You were a devil, Sonica." Sonic crossed his arms.
"What..?" said Sonica.
Then, Amy told everything about all that baby-incident and showed her the pictures.
"You looked cute tho." said Sticks.
Sonica scratched her head. "Well...I am sorry for causing you guys trouble." she said while looking at us.
"You are welcome." Sonic crossed his arms and looked away.
"You are mad at me now?" asked Sonica quietly.
Sonic quickly turned to look at her and said, "No no no. I am not mad at you.."
Sonica sighed quietly.
"He's not mad at you. He's mad for you." I smirked.
Sonic quickly nudged me on my stomach, angrily.
I smirked again, Amy and the others chuckled.
"What? Mad..for m-" Sonic cut off Sonica and said quickly, "No no, he is saying nonsense. Don't listen to him." Sonic laughed nervously.
"Well, I think it's time to go home everyone. It is already dark outside." said Amy.
We nodded.
"Bye, Tails!" They waved at Tails and we walked out of his lab.
"Ah, finally some peace." said Sonic. Knuckles and I nodded.
"Alright, guys. See ya tomorrow!" said Amy as she started to walk home.
We also started to walk home but Sonic quickly ran to Amy. I watched him.
"Um..Amy, can you give that pictures of Sonica?" he whispered.
"Of course." Amy handed him the pictures.
"Thankyou." he whispered again and ran back to us.
"I see what you have there, hedgehog." I said while walking.
"Umm..." Sonic looked down as he started to blush.
"What does he have?" asked Sonica while looking at me.
"Nothing, Sonica." I smirked and soon we reached home.
"Bye, Sonica...and Shadow." he said.
"Bye, Sonic." said Sonica then we entered the house.
"You want anything?" she asked.
I shook my head.
"Tell me if you need anything, okay?" She yawned.
I nodded and sighed quietly. Then, I went to my room and laid on the bed. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Finally, everything was normal.
