(Chapter 3)

Hey. I'm not ded.

Sonic's (Modern) POV

I winced as Tails compressed the ice onto my right cheek:

"Can't you stand five minutes with Shadow without fighting?"

"Nah."

"Idiot."

"Nerd."

"Egomaniac."

"Am not!"

"Done." The kit put the first aid kit away, grinning as he did so.

I'll get you back.

I stood up and stretched lazily, heading for the kitchen for a good ol' chilli dog.

I stepped into the kitchen only to find:

"Man, these are the best chilli dogs I've eaten in my life!"

My copy was already munching on the last chilli dog I saved for later.

"You-That's mine!"

"It was labeled 'Property of Sonic'. It's clearly mine." he said, while stuffing the rest of the chilli dog into his mouth.

"Nobody, and I mean nobody, touches MY chilli dogs!"

The two foxes had come to see what all the commotion was about.

"Watch me."

As I was about to spin-dash into that smug face of my copy, I felt a pair of hands grab me.

"Not here. Not now." Tails hissed into my ear, "We can always get more."

"Fine."

Unknown POV

I swatted a fly as I trudged through the thick woodland of the unfamiliar forest I was in. 

How did I end up here? Let me explain:

FLASHBACK

I was skating through the forest I called my home, minding my own business. I leaped over the Gogoba village, ignoring the exclaims of the villagers.

Man, how much I hated them.

I then felt something strange, like a tingling sensation. I never experienced it before, yet it felt so familiar.

Next thing I knew, I was falling through a very colorful and dizzying tunnel.

Then I landed in this forest.

I bet it has something to do with the blue idiot and his friends in Hedgehog Village.

"This is getting me nowhere." I mumbled to myself as I activated my rocket shoes and shot straight up, over the forest canopy. I startled a few strange-looking birds along the way.

Wait.

Why are their wings so small? How do they fly?

I shook my head. Probably hallucinating or something. I headed towards the edge of the forest, nearing a small river.

I let my feet meet the ground, as I assessed my surroundings.

"Chao?"

I jumped at the sudden, unfamiliar noise.

I turned to see a little cyan creature looking at me with curious eyes. I returned the gaze.

As if something triggered it, it started chattering excitedly and clung onto my fur. Soon after, I was covered in cyan creatures. I didn't like it, but I couldn't bring myself to get them off.
