Sonic Boom My Story

A Meteor Swap

(A/N: Of course, the meteor here causes Catherine and Eggman to switch bodies, not Sonic and Eggman. This is all in Catherine's POV, so it all focuses on her, not Eggman.)

It's a gorgeous night to be camping with friends Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails the Fox, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose the Hedgehog & Sticks the Badger.
"Tails, what are you doing?" Amy Rose asks Sonic's adoptive little brother. Miles Prower is his real name, but we're tight to where we all call him Tails. He's perched on a rock, looking at the sky.

"Just enjoying this beautiful meteor shower," he answers. Meteors are falling from the sky.

"That one's flying beautifully toward us!" Knuckles points at a meteor & it crashes.

"This could be a major find! We need to approach it cautiously & with great care so that--" Tails always talks like that. He's a mechanical genius... for an 8-year-old, anyway.

"Race ya!" Sonic speeds off, reaching the edge of the crater site before anyone else (Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Sticks, and me, Catherine "Cathy" Dean). A glowing purple meteor had landed within the crater. My friends catch up. "Hah! First!"

"Think again, Sonic!" an all-too-familiar voice calls from above. It's the nemesis of my life, Eggman. He's hovering over the crater in his Eggmobile floating device.

"Eggman?!" Sonic scowls.

"That's right! And as the intrepid explorer that first discovered this regal rock, I hereby call 'dibs!'" he teases.

"What? You can't call 'dibs.'"

"Oh, you don't respect 'dibs?' What's next, you gonna allow 'cutsies?' Flout the 5-second rule? Step on a crack without regard for your mother's spinal column?" he laughs. Cutsies are our word for cutting.

"Not cool, Sonic!" Knuckles scowls. He has a habit of saying "not cool" to some people when something uncool happens, but he mainly says that to either Sonic or Tails.

"Of course I respect 'dibs,' but you can only call 'dibs' if you are touching the thing you desire to 'dib,'" he explains.

"Yeah. That applied to me whenever I called dibs on things when I was little," I add.

"Well, of course it did. Because I want YOU! In that case..." Eggman & I race to the meteor & touch it simultaneously.

"Dibs!" we both call out. A white light covers my vision & I feel myself falling. The light turns black.

"Ugh..." I mumble once I get the strength to wake. Looking around, most of this is white. It's familiar!

"What am I doing in Eggman's lair?" I ask myself. There's a mirror on the side... There's Eggman!

"Gah! Eggman!" I leap at the wall, but I bounce back to the floor.

"What the...?" I'm able to speak & look back at myself.

"What am I doing in Eggman's body?!" I even sound like him!! 2 bots, Orbot & Cubot, come to me.

"Dr. Eggman, you're awake!" Orbot gasps. They call him doctor since they're his henchmen.

"We had to drag you back home. It was Spring Break all over again!" Cubot adds.

He gives me a series of illustrated photos: Eggman playing volleyball with his robots; him singing to an audience that consists of his bots; him posing with a sandcastle; Cubot snickering while placing suntan lotion on a napping Eggman; Orbot & Cubot dragging a still-unconscious & sunburned Eggman back home, save for a mark in the shape of Sonic's face on his forehead.
