Sonic: Earthbound

When a demonstration of a new cutting-edge virtual reality machine goes horribly wrong, Alexandra Parker accidentally creates a link between two worlds. One trip to the hospital later, and Alex discovers a strange new ability: she can disappear and reappear somewhere else. There's just one problem. She can't seem to control it.

Luckily, Alex's new roommate knows a thing or two about Chaos Control and is more than up for the task of teaching her. But is Alex up for the challenge that comes with protecting him from exposure to a public who believes he's only a fictional character?

Between school, her new crush, amorous androids, and finding all of the Chaos Emeralds, Alex seems to have her work cut out for her; and all while avoiding the pursuit of a power-hungry technophile.

While Alex helps Sonic and Tails navigate a world in which they are pop-culture icons to find a way back home, they in turn have a thing or two to teach her about what it really means to grow up and the truth about leaving childhood behind.
