A Matter of Time (A Sonic Fanfic)

A Big Problem

I woke up feeling strange. I rolled over to look at the ceiling. That's strange, the ceiling normally doesn't look that far away, I thought. I sat up and looked at my room. Everything looked bigger and further away. My bed looked huge. I made my way to the edge of my bed and looked down. It was further away too, about a jumps distance. I tried to stand but my legs felt like jelly. It must be because of the laser. It must be a side effect. I had to get Tails.

I woke up in the sand. Funny, I don't remember sleeping here. I was still at the beach that Sonic, Tails and I were at yesterday. I looked up at the tree that I had propped myself against yesterday, it looked bigger. Something strange is going on, I thought. The ocean looked further away. Then I heard voices. "Yeah, bummer. Hey, I know what will cheer you up. An ice cream." The first voice said. "Not really but okay. He couldn't have been killed on that last mission, he can stop bullets." The second voice said. Their footsteps came closer and closer until two people walked past the tree I was sitting at. "Hey look Blaze." Blaze! I thought, she must be one of those two people, how could I have not recognised her voice. The two people were looking at me, and they were huge. "It's a baby." I looked around. There wasn't a baby here. "That's strange. It looks like Silver." Then it hit me, they were looking at me. No wonder they were huge, I'd been turned into a baby. Damn that Eggman. His laser did this to me. Then I realised, Tails and Sonic got hit by it too. I had to find them and get out of this mess. "Lets take it to Amy and show her." I recognised that other voice. It was Cream. "As much as I hate it, she's the only one to go to. None of the boys know what they're doing." Hey, that's not true. I tried to tell them but it just came out as a whine. "Awww, lets go now." I was picked up by Blaze. She was so soft. I felt myself getting drowsy against her fur. Before I knew it I fell into a light sleep.

My head hurt. That was the only thing that I noticed when I woke up. I opened my eyes and also noticed that I was on a couch. How did I get on a couch? I wondered. The last thing that I remember was being hit by Eggman's laser and flying down the hall. I must have hit my head really hard because my headache was the worst. I looked at the couch I was on and it was really big. The whole room looked bigger. I tried to stand up but I just fell over again. I tried to use my tails, they were really small for some reason. I flew to the ground and made my way up the stairs which was hard considering the room was bigger and I couldn't walk. I gave up and flew up the stairs. After a few seconds trying to fly up the stairs, my tails feel tired and I have to stop. I climb the rest of the stairs.

I sat on the side of my bed and try to think of a way down without hurting myself. I then hear a noise from outside my room. A head pops around the corner of my bed and I get startled. It's a baby that looks like Tails. It crawls its way over to me. I look at it. It looks like Tails in every way, his three part fringe, his sky blue eyes and of course his twin tails. He looks up at me and stares, after a while putting his hands up. If I stand on his hands, I can make it off the bed. I decide to trust this baby fox and cautiously put my feet over the edge and onto his hands. His hands are shaky but give me a way down. When all my weight is on his hands I jump off to the floor. "Tails? Is that you?"I ask him. He nods. "We can understand each other but we're babies." I look at my hands and feet. My hands have small, white baby gloves that look like mittens. On my feet are small, white baby boots. I look at Tails and he is wearing the same thing. I was so confused.

I woke up in a pink house, in a pink cot. I was scared because I didn't know where I was. I started to cry a bit. "whaa." I heard footsteps. Before I knew it a bottle had been shoved in my mouth. I was confused and tried to push it away. Amy was holding it and she had cotton buds in her ears. I wasn't that loud was I? She wasn't going to stop until I had some. I drank a bit and discovered that it was warm milk. I think it was the baby part of me but I wanted more, All I wanted was warm milk. I drank until the bottle was empty and Amy pulled it from my grasp. I whined and tried to grab the bottle, even though I knew there was none left. She frowned at me. "I'll get you another bottle if you promise to be patient." I stop trying to grab the bottle and put my hands between my legs and on the floor. I looked like a dog doing that but I couldn't care less, She would give me another bottle. She left to the kitchen and I waited. I was getting impatient. She was taking forever. Then I hear the familiar sound of the microwave. She walked back in with the bottle in her hands. My tail waged excitedly. She put the bottle into my mouth but more gentle this time. I drank and drank until I finished the bottle. She took it and looked at it, surprised. "Well you sure are hungry." She said. She picks me up and starts patting my back. She walked into the kitchen and put the bottle in the sink whilst still patting me. I burped. "Good boy." She praised. She wants me to burp? What happened to her? I thought. Oh well, if it gets me praise. She makes me burp again. I start trying to burp and I'm eventually successful. "Are you okay?" She holds me out a bit and looks at me. I'm still trying to burp when I feel a wave of nausea pass over me and I spill my stomachs contents all over Amy's dress. "Eww. So that's what happens when you give a baby too much milk." She says. She put me on the counter. "Stay here." She says. She walks off. I feel sick now so I lay down on the counter and close my eyes.

Tails and I manage to get the door open somehow and we crawl outside. Instantly I smell my favourite food, chili dogs. I soon spot where the smell is coming from and start to crawl over to it. Tails grabs my foot. "Sonic, focus." He says. I frown. "Grr, I want a chili dog." I try to get free but Tails has a firm grip on my leg. He lets go. "Fine, I'd like to see you try." I make my way to the chili dog stand and see what he meant. The chili dog stand is very tall and I'm a baby. "Tails, please can you help?" He looks over and crawls near. "No." He says firmly. I frown. "Fine, be that way." I crawl around and see the chili dog stand person. I tug on his long pants. He looks down and I put my hands up to him. He smiles. "Your cute." He says. I giggle as he picks me up and puts me on the stand. He gives me half a chili dog and I start eating it. A passer by sees me eating a chili dog and walks over to the stand. "Your chili dogs must be good, even babies like them." He said, watching me try to eat the chili dog. It was a bit difficult because I kept getting chili sauce on my face. "That's a cute baby." The customer said. "Yeah, he just walked up and tugged on the leg of my pants." The chili dog stand person said. "You could get him to sell people chili dogs." The customer said. "Speaking of which, may I have two dogs with the works." "Sure." The chili dog stand person turned and grabbed two chili dogs. I was half done and my face was covered in chili sauce. The chili dog stand person gave the two dogs to the customer. He looked at me eating away at the chili dog. "Didn't he used to be blue? His whole face is covered in chili sauce except for his eyes." I stopped eating and looked at the chili dog stand person and licked my face. He grabbed a serviette and wiped my face for me. I giggled. "he's a cute little fella." He said.

I was still lying on the counter when Amy came in. She picked me up and put some pants and a top on me. The top was amber and the pants were baby blue. "Your so cute. Yes you are, yes you are." She said in the tone that people always talk to babies with. She put me in a baby carrier and we went downtown. Sonic usually goes there because there are lots of chili dog stands and he lives near there. I hope I can find the others soon, I don't want to have to be with Amy forever.
