Organic Metal Sonic:

I jolted up right in some bed, trying to remember what happened, until I looked down at my hands, seeing organic paw-like hands instead of robotic ones, everything coming back to me. "Metal? Y'all right?" Sonic's voice asked from behind me. Realizing I only knew very few words I used our mind-link to reply.

"Um... my head's a little foggy, I'm missing an eye so that doesn't feel great, My arm hurts like hell, my heart was nearly impaled, and intotal I feel just great." I scoffed, rolling my... eye at Sonic.

"Food?" My copy asked out of the blue, standing up.

"Nah, not really hungry." I replied shrugging.

"Hmf. Let me restate. You are organic, you need food. You just went on a ten mile chase, out ran the fastest thing alive, and were in no condition to do so! Therefore, there's water on the side table to your left and I'll be back with food. Don't die in the meantime." Sonic droned on, still blabbering after he left the room.

"I'm alone... for the first time since I was organic... This is different. Why can't I just stay with one body for more than a year!?" I wondered, pulling one of the blankets from the bed around my shoulders. Only a month ago water was worse than Sonic on my enemy rating list, so there was no way I was about to touch a glass full of it. Suddenly, Sonic kicked open the door, hands full of chili-dogs. "Oh chaos." I cringed, watching the plates sway one way, then the other, but somehow, my clumsy copy successfully placed a couple on the side table and began to down the rest. "So, what's your addiction to chili-dogs anyway?" I asked, Sonic looming over the last one and pouncing on it as though it was live prey, licking his lips as he turned to look at me. Terrified, I turned back to my food.

As good as the chili-dogs were, my stomach turned sour when a nurse walked in, took one look at me and pulled Sonic away to talk to him in private. After too long for my comfort, they walked back over to me. "Hrm... Rumors have spread about you, Metal. And they're morphing, fast. We have to stop them, but the best way to do so would be for them to see... well, you." Sonic stated.

"Oh?" I let my ears droop.

"Yeah, one of the rumors is-i-s..." Sonic had to stop, entering a fit of giggles.

"Oh boy." I looked at the nurse to continue.

"One of the rumors began as "I think Metal will be transgender." but it is currently going around as "I think Metal will be female." The nurse sighed, Sonic watching my face go beat red before he bursted out with laughter again.

"Yup. I am DEFINITELY going to tell them I'm organic, now a "good guy", and 100% MALE!" I chuckled out loud, hiding my face.

"Aww but you have to play along with the makeup, the eyelashes, the dress, the high heels, Oh! And the higher voice!" Sonic wheezed. "Ten bucks! You're my copy, and you're broke! You would never turn this down!" I thought for a minute, before giving in.

"Deal! But I will tell them I'm male and that you put me up to this!"

Why did I do this? I was now ready to walk out the medical bay doors in high heels, a dress, and a full cloak of makeup with Sonic by my side. I'll admit, I looked flattering, but why!!????? By the time Sonic was ready to open the door, I was ready to vomit, Walking past whispering Mobians into a noisy cafeteria. In front of us there was a large stage with a microphone on a stick. Sonic jogged up the stairs, not far behind I followed. "Sonic, you should start me off by saying a few things, after all, I am still Metal Sonic, they won't believe a thing I say." I thought, looking out over the sea of Mobians that stared at me, leaned over to whomever was closest to them and whispered. Yep, they thought I was female for sure! Thanks Sonic! He must have overheard my thought because before he clicked on the microphone he grinned and answered with a "You're welcome!" tapping the mic to make sure it was on, Sonic began to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important announcement to make! I - you - um - ya -so - he... Oh forget it! Metal I started you off!!!" I face-palmed and walked over to the mike, plastering a very fake and hopefully not freaky smile over my frown.

 "As you all probably know, I am Metal Sonic. However, after a "small inconvenience" I have quit the Eggman Empire, illegally. Eggman also does not know I'm missing." Sonic stood next to me, his face purple and twisted, probably to keep from laughing at my high voice and getup. "If you were wondering, I am Very Much Male and mister purple face over here put me up to this!" I stated, dropping my voice back to normal as Sonic grabbed his wallet and slipped ten bucks over to me. This got a chuckle out of the resistance, but I just wanted to get a nice pair of pants back on, for this was humiliating.
