"Oh, man. I'm totally dead" Silver gulped in fear.

The thugs began run after him on the treads and just as they are about to catch him, he jumped over the dumpster and jumped over to the other side of the junkyard.

"Damn, so close!" the thugs groan in annoyance and leaves the area. Silver struggles to climb up on the edge before he falls down, he tries to not look down and keeps struggling to climb up.

"Ah man, why am I having acide-....woooaah!!!" Silver lost his grip and fell down the edge to the ground below, he was knocked out unconscious and laid there.


-----

Hours have passed and it was already night time, the unconscious hedgehog hasn't moved or woken up. But then, a herd of cats came to him and was looking curiously at the hedgehog. Then the white cat that was seen earlier jumped on Silver's chest and exhales its breath on him in a weird way, it looked very un-like any breath a cat can do. Then the cat moves back when Silver began moving.

He opens his eyes that are now cat-slit eyes but very visible, sitting up straight and groans, "Ohhh...... What happened? Huh?" he notices his sight was different. He could see a spider distances away, "Ahh!!" he stumbles away from that freaky spider. His hearing and senses were sharp than his normal self before and he doesn't know what is really happening to him.

"I must be dreaming! Stop it!" Silver began to freak out and closed his eyes, hoping his eyes will turn normal again. He held for his ears as well and then he looks around to see that many cats were around him.

"This is getting worse" Silver was getting groggy and stands up to his feet. The cats are now meowing at him which was starting to annoy him a bit.

"Leave me alone! Except you. The white one" he pointed at the white cat. It walks up to him and snuggles on his legs, purring.

"Hmph, cute. But I'm a bit pissed that you lead me to a group of thugs" he scoffed and looks up at the edge that was 20 ft. high up. He starts to feel his reflexes that could help him climb up.

His super vision zooms into the edge which made his cat abilities to jump up high like a cat.

"Whoa! I feel quicker and stealthier!" Silver was surprised, he had one last look at the cats and heads his way home. But the white cat resumes following him.

"Oh, man. Not this territory like last time. This is not gonna get pretty" Silver staring at the junkyard filled with cars that the street dogs live.

One dog was on top of the car pile and they growl at Silver as he walked through the ways in the junkyard. Silver looked around and the dog on the pile jumped down and chases him. Silver heard it and began running through the maze of the junkyard. Every time he went through the corner the dog keeps following him and soon a second dog joined and Silver ran faster from them desperately. Then a third dog came and Silver could hear the barking getting louder when he approaches the fence. He sees the dogs coming and he jumps up, climbing over the fence and jumps down. The dogs barking wildly at him that they missed their chance to kill him.

"*HIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*" Silver hissed like a cat at them. Telling them to go away. The dogs whimpered in fear from the scary hiss of a mobian and runs off in their junkyard cars.

"Meow!" the same white cat came out of nowhere.

"Not you again. Go now" Silver sighs. Not in the mood to see this cat again like last time. He walks past the cat and it just sits there glancing at him while he walks away.

Once he got inside his apartment, he goes in the bathroom to take a shower.

"What is happening to me? I feel different since I fell. I feel quicker and I feel like a ninja by jumping so high" he thought to himself while taking a shower.

After taking a shower for nearly 10 minutes, he goes out from it and dries himself to then comb his forelocks. He then got dressed up and goes to the kitchen to have something to drink, he was so thirsty after the experience he had this noon. He takes the milk carton and drinks from it than drinking from a glass.

He looks at the clock that it was 8:00pm, "How long was I knocked out in the junkyard?"

He then heard his stomach growl, he has missed lunch, "Man, I'm starving too" Silver groans and takes out a sandwich he stuffed in the fridge. He goes to the table with the sandwich and began eating it. He couldn't stop thinking of what happened to him.

"This is getting weird. Did that cat gave me good luck? Impossible" Silver shook his head.

The next morning, Silver was asleep in his bed. Birds tweeting outside, police sirens blaring far away, and everything in the city was the same as usual.

Then the alarm blared and he woke up with a sluggish moan, hearing all the joints in his body crack when he stretches himself out. He takes a mirror to see if his eyes look normal. He squints harder and noticed that his pupils were not round anymore, they were cat-slit eyes. Though very visible for others to look at his eyes.

"At least it's almost round. I better have some breakfast and then I go for a walk" Silver said and puts the mirror aside.

He then goes to the kitchen and had cereals for breakfast and starts to think of what to do today, "Maybe I should go to the fairground to have some fun" he said to himself.

Later, Silver was walking in the fairground alone, seeing people having fun together and children getting balloons. He shook his head with a small smile and he didn't see where he was going when he bumped into someone.

"UGH!"

"Oh sorry, I didn't see where I was going" said a purple feline mobian.

"Sorry, my fault I didn't see where I was going" Silver said. He looked at the feline and was stunned by her beauty.

"It's alright. By the way you must be the famous artist of Station Square, Silver isn't it?" the feline asked.

"In the flesh, and what's your name?" Silver asked her.

"Blaze, Blaze Wilson but I prefer Blaze the Cat" Blaze said.

"Nice name, Blaze" Silver said.

"Thanks. I like being here in the fairground. I didn't expect to meet you in person. But I'm not a fangirl if you think so" Blaze chuckled.

"I see. Well want to go to the Ferris wheel?" Silver asked her.

"Yeah, sure" Blaze nodded. They both go to the ferries wheel and they sat next to each other in a friendly manner.

"Well Silver, do you still do arts? You seem quite quiet" Blaze said.

"Yes I still do art. It's just that I can let it go when I broke up with my ex-girlfriend a month ago. Right now I'm doing a painting of a cat, can't tell which color it is" Silver said, "What about you? What do you usually do?" he asked.

"I take care of my cats at home" Blaze said.

"Oh, quite ironic since I am doing a cat portrait" Silver chuckled nervously.

"Mmhmm. Sure is" Blaze said.

"Sometimes I'm always not sure if white cats can bring good luck while black cats bring bad luck. Its just made up in supernatural or something" Silver said.

"I don't know, Silver. But white is a positive color, black is a negative color. So that means you got more luck with a white cat" Blaze said.

"Oh. It's a rumor that black cats are owned by witches" Silver said.

"Silly stories. Hehe... Witches don't exist" Blaze chuckled.

"Yeah.... hehehehe" Silver chuckled too. Then they got lowered again and they got out of the Ferris wheel and they walked through the fairground once more.
