I dreamed that I was human. I was on fire and walking on swords. I peer up to see that I was chained to the ceiling by two sticks as if I was a human sized marionette. "No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as my world... no wait, my memories... crumbled around me, falling on me. Then I hear laughter... sinister laughter. I glanced down, expecting to see Sonic, but instead I noticed a hedgehog who looked like Sonic, but is very clearly female. Her nerd glasses gleamed wickedly in the burning light of what was left of my memories.

"Hello, dear." The voice purred in a buttery, smooth, female voice. It sounded achingly familiar. "You were most certainly a succulent human girl. So tender and delectable... but I want to keep you around, just to torture your lover boy and make him think that he's reaching you when he is really just falling right into our trap. Charlie's going to make a very good plaything for me." Then she chuckled, her voice so damn familiar... yet so cruelly unfamiliar. She grabbed me, her giant hand wrapping around me. I tried to kick and squirm free, but she tsked at me.

I punched at the giant, gloved hand gripping me. It didn't budge. I screamed at the giant Sonic clone, "Airalain! This is not funny! Put me down, you asshole! You toyed with Charlie enough as is!"

The Sonic clone bared her teeth, growling, "I'm not Airalain, you brat. I'm you. I'm Alison Hedgehog, the insanely beautiful daughter of Sonic the Hedgehog." I froze when those words left her lips, horrified at what I just heard. I was horrified that this thing is going to snatch my body. Then I got my wits back together.

"Then you should be able to know-!" I began, but the clone interrupted with a hearty laugh.

"Everything about you and what you are thinking? Oh, sugar pie, you can lie to yourself and say that I don't know of your struggles, but I do. Your autism is gone for good, my sweet. I also know that you would introduce yourself as Puddie. I think that you'd want Daddy dearest close to you now more than ever." She purred. I couldn't figure out who she was referring to until she added, "Daddy would be quivering in his quills to have an adorable pet nickname for you... I mean, me."

My heart sank as she laughed wickedly. There was no way in fucking hell that I would ever call Sonic "Daddy." Hell has to freeze over before I'd ever call Sonic that. Ugh, I'd much rather kiss Sonic.exe or even Huggy Wuggy than call him the same thing I called my own dad (The latter is a very long story involving toys, science and something called 1006, but that would not be appropriate for me to explain it). Who the fuck does she think she is!? Then she chuckled again. "You'll never-!" I tried to screech, but then her grip tightened just enough to get me to gasp for air. Then she chuckled as she kept squeezing me. "No!" I screamed as she started squeezing the air out of my lungs.

I woke up, my heart pounding way too fast. I lay a hand on my chest, surprised to find it bare. I noted that the bed I was laying in was high above the ground. I scampered down the ladder, my feet feeling way too big for my taste. What the fuck...? I wondered. I ran a hand over my nose, not realizing that there was something black on my nose. I opened a door on the far left to find myself in a beautiful bathroom with cobalt floors and a bright blue bathtub the size of a hotel swimming pool. I found a note on the marbled blue and red sink. It read:

My darling Alison,

Before you freak out, I need to tell you something. You are now an elite, darling. You are better than a human, you are smarter than a human, and you are quicker than a human. You'll also have a special ability. What will your hidden ability be? I honestly don't know. But do know that you will be loved, and that I'll always be there for you. I'm not very good with words, but I love you and care deeply about your wellbeing. Sounds sappy, but it's the truth. I hate lying, dear.
