(Cubed Cinder and DJYellow22)
Chapter 1, written by Cubed Cinder
Sonic the Hedgehog stood on the outskirts of the mechanical monstrosity that
was Metallic Madness. After hearing rumors that Dr. Robotnik was gonna be using
this place as his new base of operations, the Freedom Fighters made it priority
one to destroy the place and keep that dream from coming true. But first things
first was a first hand look at the construction of the place. Sonic then looked
down at his watch, which doubled as a communicator back to Knothole.
"Yo, Sal! I've made it to Metallic Madness." Sonic said. The voice on the other
end was Princess Sally, and Sonic tapped his foot impatiently as he waited to
hear her voice.
"Alright, Sonic. Be very careful, please. You're only there on recon, not to
blow it up." Sally said.
"Hey, don't sweat it, Sal! When have I ever gone overkill on these
missions?" Sonic said.
"Our last three trips to Robotropolis..." Sally said.
"Anyway, I've gotta juice! Sonic out!" Sonic said as he turned off the radio on
his watch. Sally, back in her hut at Knothole Village, just sighed.
"Some days you just can't win against him." Sally said.
After speeding (and at the same time sneaking) around the premises, Sonic let
out a yawn.
"(yawn) Recon duty is so boring. Why not make things more exciting?" Sonic said.
That's when he ran towards a bright red light and stuck a foot in front of it.
As soon as he did that, the alarms went buzzing off all around the complex.
"Oops... my bad." Sonic said with that cocky smirk of his. He watched as the
Swatbots, many of them in various combat vehicles, came charging towards him.
"Now that's more like it. Come and get me, bolt brains!" Sonic said as he went
speeding off in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, back in Robotropolis, Dr. Robotnik and Snively were doing business
as usual inside their headquarters. Of course, this was until the alarms went
off inside the complex.
"Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Sector MCD1993." the robotic computer voice
said.
"Snively, activate surveillance cameras on that sector!" Robotnik said.
"Yes, your eggcellency." Snively said. He pressed a few buttons on the control
panel, and a few of the monitors in the room showed the many different angles of
Metallic Madness. Robotnik picked up Sonic running around these monitors as the
cameras tried to keep up with the speedy hedgehog.
"The hedgehog! Trying to spoil my welcoming party, is he? Have all bots pursue
the hedgehog, including the construction bots!" Robotnik said.
"Right away, sir!" Snively said.
Sonic was having the time of his life, in the meanwhile, as he was running at
high speed around the Metallic Madness complex. Naturally, the Swatbots had
trouble keeping up with the hedgehog, and he ran by the other bots so fast, they
didn't have time to aim their weapons at him.
"Ha! I'm not even breaking a sweat here!" Sonic shouted as he ran circles around
a group of Swatbots ahead and broke them to pieces.
Robotnik clenched his teeth seeing his Swatbots getting destroyed left and
right, but more annoying was the fact that Snively wasn't switching camera shots
fast enough to follow Sonic.
"Keep up with him, Snively!!!" Robotnik shouted, pounding his fists on the arms
of his chair.
"I...I...I'm trying, sir!" Snively said as he frantically pushed buttons all
over the control panel and the monitors rapidly switched views.
Sonic kept up the speed game for the next minute or so, clearly enjoying
himself with making garbage out of the bots. What he didn't see was the red
laser that he was running right towards.
"Come on, you Swatbots, you were much tougher in Robotropolis!" Sonic said. When
he finally looked ahead, that's when he saw the red laser right in his sights.
"Uh oh..." Sonic said. He tried slamming on the brakes, but ended up sliding
right into the laser. By the time he came to a stop, the world looked completely
different.
Meanwhile, by the time Snively had activated the camera that showed the
shrinking laser from a far away view, Sonic was nowhere to be seen. The sweat
was running down Snively's head like crazy as he tried every possible camera
view, and Sonic was out of the picture. He and Robotnik had no clue that Sonic
had been shrunken to only a half-inch tall. Heck, Robotnik even forgot the laser
had the capability to shrink anything that it hit. Clearly he had not studied
all of the parts that he threw into the construction of this mega fortress. But
at the moment, he was only concerned with one thing.
"Snively. Where... is... the hedgehog!?" Robotnik said.
"I do not know, sir... I'm still searching!" Snively said.
Back at Metallic Madness, Sonic was still rubbing his eyes after getting an
intense flash of light from running into that red laser. He looked around to see
he was somewhere different. At least, that's what it appeared to be.
"Hmmm? What happened? Did that laser blast me into another dimension?" Sonic
said. As he was walking around, he suddenly had to stop when a group of Swatbots
nearly crushed him as they walked by.
"Whoa! Okay... either I'm in a world with the biggest Swatbots ever created, or
I've been shrunken to the size of a fly on a chili dog." Sonic said. When he
then saw a huge cockroach, one that could normally be stepped on, walk right by
him without a care for the hedgehog, that's when Sonic put it all together.
"Yep, definitely been shrunken. Way uncool." Sonic said, realizing the plight he
was now in, especially seeing how small he had shrunken to. His next thought was
to contact Sally and alert her of what happened.
"Sal! Come in! We've got a major problemo here." Sonic said. But no response.
"Sally! Do you read?" Sonic said. Still nothing. He tapped the watch in
frustration.
"Man... the signal must be too weak now. I'll have to get back to Knothole and
show myself to everyone." Sonic said.
As for the group of Swatbots that nearly crushed Sonic earlier? They had been
searching around for him, naturally at normal size, but there was no sign of
him.
"Dr. Robotnik, there is no sign of the hedgehog anywhere on the premises." the
Swatbot said.
"Stay on high alert. The hedgehog has to be there!" Dr. Robotnik said.
"Affirmative." the Swatbot said as it and the other bots resumed their walk.
Sonic heard the Swatbot's side of the conversation that it was having with
Robotnik, and realized he had a golden opportunity to escape.
"Looks like those Swatbots aren't programmed for micro hedgehog hunting. Now's
my chance to escape." Sonic said. He reached into his backpack and pulled out
the Power Ring.
"Alright, Power Ring, time to juice and cut it loose!" Sonic said. He held the
ring high in the air to activate its power, and once it was glowing bright,
Sonic took off running. In the blink of an eye, he was not only gone from the
area, but off the Metallic Madness grounds.
===
Despite his small size, it only took a few extra minutes for Sonic to make it
into Knothole Village.
"Thank goodness for this ring giving me the super Sonic speed I need to get back
here." Sonic said before he tossed the now powerless Power Ring away (as
evidenced by the lack of golden color). He looked around the exponentially
bigger Knothole Village and marveled over how much bigger everything was,
including the blades of grass that populated the grounds of this sacred place.
"Now I just gotta find Sal. She has a cure for everything..." Sonic said. Just
then, the thin beam of sunlight that had been shining on Sonic was replaced by a
large shadow, along with booming sounds every second or so. When Sonic turned
around to see what the shadow belonged to, he suddenly was looking right up at a
huge metallic foot!
"Whoa!!!" Sonic shouted as he sped to the side before being crushed by this
foot. He looked to see he was nearly crushed by a gigantic Bunnie Rabbot.
"Man, talk about a close shave... but Bunnie sure does look huge. Maybe I can
get her attention!" Sonic said as he started running after Bunnie. With his
speed, he didn't have much trouble keeping up with her, especially after she
stopped her walk to chat with Rotor.
Bunnie stopped walking towards Sally's hut when he was approached by Rotor.
"Hey, Bunnie. Can I ask you a favor?" Rotor asked.
"Anything for a fellow Freedom Fighter, sugah." Bunnie said.
"I seem to have misplaced the special soap I was working on. You think you can
find it for me?" Rotor asked.
"Why sure thing... but may I ask what's so special about this soap?" Bunnie
said.
"Oh, well... I can't say right now, even to you. The chemicals I mixed together
could cause the soap to do anything depending on what it makes contact with."
Rotor said.
"Alrighty, I'll keep an eye out for ya." Bunnie said.
"Thanks, Bunnie." Rotor said as he walked away.
While this chat was going on, Sonic used his speed to run right up Bunnie's
body, first the roboticized part and then the physical part, which consisted
mostly of her purple shirt. Sonic, after a brief struggle with Bunnie's fur,
made his way to the top of her right shoulder. He started to call out for her.
"Bunnie! Yo, Bunnie! Down here!!" Sonic shouted. Bunnie looked around, but not
on her shoulder.
"Hmmm... I do declare I must be hearing mosquitoes today. They sure are loud on
this here day..." Bunnie said. She then kept on walking towards Sally's hut.
"No good... I'm just too small, but maybe I'll have better luck with Sally."
Sonic said.
Once Bunnie was inside, she looked as Sally was at one of her tables, looking
at a holographic projection of Metallic Madness.
"Hey, Sally girl, everything okay?" Bunnie asked as she walked to the other side
of the table.
"(sigh) I wish... I can't seem to reach Sonic anymore." Sally said.
"Well, ya did say he would go dark as soon as he got there, right?" Bunnie said.
"But not this dark... I can't even get a signal to ping back to Knothole. Oh,
Bunnie... what if they captured him? What if he goofed off like he usually does
and that caught him?" Sally asked.
"Now, Sally, I doubt Sonic would be that careless." Bunnie said.
"But he is... arrrrgh! Stupid Sonic! If, no... when he gets back, I'm gonna give
him a piece of my mind!" Sally said, slamming her hands on the table in
frustration.
Again, while this conversation was happening, Sonic took action. He leapt off
Bunnie's shoulder and floated down (his half-inch height made him almost as
light as a feather) to the table. He was walking towards Sally when she slammed
her hands on the table, nearly crushing him with them.
"Man, Sally's seriously stressed out. I wonder if she's always like this when
I'm all alone on a mission..." Sonic said. Despite the near danger he got
himself into, Sonic ran to the edge of the table (looking right at Sally's
stomach region) and tried calling out for her.
"Sal! Down here, Sally!!!" Sonic shouted.
But again, no response. It was as if Sonic was not in the room at all. In
fact, Sally even stepped away from the table by a few steps to catch her breath
from the brief spat of anger she went through.
"Oh, Sally. You should relax some. Sonic will be home before we even know it!
You should take a warm shower to help calm ya'll self down." Bunnie said.
"You know what, Bunnie? You're absolutely right. I'll try one more time to
contact Sonic, and then I'll take that shower you suggested." Sally said.
"That a sweet girl, but if you'll excuse little ol' me. Antoine, myself, and
Tails are supposed to be looking for flowers by now." Bunnie said.
"Okay, good. I'll see you later, Bunnie." Sally said. Bunnie nodded and walked
out of the hut. Sally, in the meantime, walked back to her headset that was
resting on her bed. She put it on, hoping to get in touch with Sonic once more.
Sonic, meanwhile, used his speed to run down one of the table legs and onto
the hard floor of Sally's hut. He rushed towards Sally's blue boots and tried
calling out for Sally, even as she was trying to call up Sonic from Metallic
Madness.
"Sally!!!" Sonic shouted. No response again.
"Sonic... come in, Sonic, please!" Sally said. No response... well, there was a
response, but she couldn't possibly hear or see it at the moment. Because at
only half an inch tall, Sonic had his work cut out for him.

"No Reply..." Sally sighed, feeling a mix between anger, and depression.
"Maybe just one more time.." She sighed.
"Hey! Sally! SALLY! I'm down here!" Sonic shouted, jumping up and down
frantically, sadly, at his near microscopic size, Sally couldn't hear, or even
notice him.
"Sonic?! Sonic, are you there?!" She cried into her headset once more. "No
Response...." Sally sighed, she took off her headset and placed it back onto her
bed. She sat there for a few moments, looking up at the ceiling of her Hut.
"Sal! I'm down here!" Sonic shouted, once again.
"Well, I guess I should be taking that shower that Bunnie told me too.." Sally
stood up from her bed and stretched out her neck and arms.
Sonic gazed up at Sally as she stretched her whole body, nearly forgetting that
he had to get her attention. "Woah.." He thought, Sally looked like some sort of
Goddess to him...
Sally sighed again, before walking towards the bathroom in her Hut. "Huh!?"
Sonic shook his head. "Uh.. Wait! Sally!" He shouted, chasing after the gigantic
Sally, who was slowly walking her way to the bathroom..
Sally stepped into the bathroom with a loud sigh. "Yeah, this'll calm me down,
I... I just know it." She sighed.
Sonic came running into the bathroom. "Yo! Sally! I'm down here girl!" He
shouted, to yet again, no response.
Sally took off her blue vest and placed it by the sink. "A simple shower is all
I need.." Sally took off her two big blue boots, revealing her two gigantic
paws.
Sonic ran up to the gigantic paws, which seemed to be the size of a skyscraper
to him. "Sally! Seriously, I'm down here!" He cried, finally starting to get
sick and tired of all of this, he jumped onto Sally's paw, and held onto it. "I
guess I'll have to get Sally's attention THIS WAY!" Sonic looked around his
surroundings, it looked as if he was in a forest, a forest covered with large
brown trees.
Sally started to walk towards the shower, not knowing Sonic is holding onto one
of her paws. Sally opened the see through door to the shower/bathtub.. She begun
to mix with the hot and cold shower valves until she got the perfect mix of Hot,
and Cold. "Ahh... This seems okay." She said calmly as she slowly stepped into
the shower, ready for a long relaxing shower...
This is when things became a living hell for Sonic, as soon as Sally stepped
into the shower, a gigantic drop of water splashed onto Sonic's head. "Ow! What
the.." He rubbed his head, despite the fact the water wasn't very hot for Sally,
it still burned Sonic's tiny little body.
"The heck was that.." Sonic sighed, looking up, to find Sally bathing in the
shower... And Gigantic water drops raining down at him! "Oh man!" He gasped, as
water fell down onto Sally's paw, exploding into little hurricanes(In Sonic's
perspective) as they hit Sally's body.
Sonic ran as fast as he can across Sally's Paw, swiftly avoiding being hit by
the boulder sized water drops.. "Darn it! These Rain drops of whatever the heck
they are are two quick!" He said, jumping quickly out of the way of two water
drops that nearly landed on him.
Sonic looked up at Sally with a sigh. "Hmm.. Maybe if I climb up Sal, up to her
ear.. Then just maybe she'll notice me! Yeah!" Sonic exclaimed to himself.
"Gotta juice!" The Blue Hedgehog speeded up towards Sally's Ear, running up her
gigantic leg, dodging the falling water drops swiftly..
Sonic finally made it up to Sally's wet ear, the hedgehog jumped into it with a
grin on his face. "Hey Sal!" He shouted, finally hoping to gain the Princess's
attention..
Sally suddenly flinched. "S.. Soni... No.. Must have just been my head.. " She
sighed, tapping a side of her head in confusion..
"Darn it!" Sonic cried.. "Gotta think of something else then.." He sighed,
running out of the ear and to Sally's shoulder.
Suddenly, Sonic heard something being squeezed on.. The Tiny Blue Hedgehog
looked up, to find Sally squeezing out the last of some Shampoo out of a
container...
Sally rubbed the gooey Shampoo all over her hair... Soon, the water from the
Shower Faucet disoved the Shampoo... Causing the shampoo to wash off of Sally's
hair... And to the rest of her body.. "Oh man!" Sonic cried, as a soapy like
substance headed towards Sally's shoulder, and without any sort of warning,
covered Sally's shoulder(And Sonic!) with it..
The Shampoo quickly continued to slide down Sally's smooth Fur, Sonic was
trapped in the sliding Fur, if the little hedgehog didn't think of something
quick, then he would end up down the drain!
"Gotta think of something quick!" The little hedgehog growled to himself, he
tried to push and pull himself out of the sliding shampoo..
As Sonic was now sliding down Sally's back, the small hedgehog looked down...
And noticed Sally's big fluffy tail. "That's it.." He nodded to himself. "If I
grab onto Sally's tail, then maybe I'll be able to get away from this dumb
gloop!" Sonic smirked, as the blue hedgehog was quickly sliding down towards
Sally's Tail, The small hedgehog grabbed onto it, and just like that, The
shampoo slided downwards, without Sonic!
"Well," Sally sighed heavily, the last of the shampoo was flushed down the drain
of the shower. "*Yawn* I guess I'm done... It was relaxing I guess.." Sally
sighed to herself, turning the valves on the shower around until the water from
the showerhead stopped dropping..
Sally opened the shower door and stepped out of the shower, the bathroom's
mirrors were blurry because if the steam..
Sally's fur was damp, the princess sighed as she shaked her entire body like a
dog, cleaning herself quickly. (Still unknown to the fact that Sonic was holding
onto her Tail)
Sally quickly put on her blue vest and then her boots, and stepped out of the
bathroom.. "*Long Yawn* I feel a little tired I guess.." She sighed to herself,
walking over to the bed in her Hut...
Sally sighed heavily as she jumped onto her bed once again, the Princess laid
down on it with her backside facing up.. She closed her eyes and started to rest
silently..
Meanwhile, with the shrunken hedgehog... Sonic was still hanging from Sally's
tail, trapped now. "Ah man.." Sonic sighed, he was at the tip of the tail... If
he let go, then he would fall to the bed, and possibly sprain his ankle or
something.. "Better find some way out of here... Hmm... But how.."
Sonic came up with a little plan.. "Hmm..." He sighed. "I guess I could try
climbing down Sally's Tail, lets see if that'll work.." Sonic slowly started to
climb down the fur of Sally's Tail, since he was so small, the little hedgehog
was able to climb down one of the hairs in only a few minutes..
Sonic landed on one of Sally's butt cheeks... Sally felt a small itch on one of
her cheeks... She sighed as she reached her right hand towards the area the itch
is going on...
"Alright now.. Time to get her.. Hey, what's that?!" Sonic looked up, to find
the gigantic hand of Sally's! Heading right towards him!
"Woah! Better get out of the way!" Sonic ran out of the way from the gigantic
hand, and Sally grew more and more irritated as Sonic ran off from her gigantic
hand. "Grr.." Sally growled in her sleep, chasing after the small hedgehog who
was running across her body unknowingly to her..
Sonic ran up to the sleeping Sally's ear. "Guess I'll have to try just once
more.." Sonic sighed. "Sally! I'm in your ear, help me!"
Sally arose from her bed,(While accidently throwing Sonic down to the bed she
stood up, confused and scared. "Oh... Oh my god, what was that?" She cried.
"I... I know what would calm me down.. I hope.." Sally gasped to herself,
breathing in and out heavily... The Princess jumped off the bed and started to
slowly walk towards a mini refrigerator in her hut...
Sonic rubbed his head slightly. "Hmm.. What's she planning...." Sally took out
of the fridge something... Something Sonic would desire..
Sally pulled out of the frudge a cold Chili Dog.. "*Sigh* These were Sonic's
favorite.." She sighed, walking towards a small table and placing the Chili Dog
on a plate..
"Oh... My..." Sonic was speechless, the blue hedgehog zipped his way off the
bed, and to the gigantic table.. The small hedgehog ran up the table delighted.
"It's..." Sonic gazed up at the gigantic food item. "Its... Its Beautiful...".
He cried to himself, his heart beat pounding at a faster rate.. "Must.. Have...
It..."
Sonic ran up the gigantic chili dog and took a large,(Well, large for him) bite
out of it..) "Umm.... This is.. Grea- Hey.. Oh man!" Suddenly, a hand grabbed
onto the delicious chili dog, Sally's hand to be exact...
Oh what now?
Chapter 3, written by Cubed Cinder
Sonic, if he could be able to, was slapping himself in the head. His
obsession with chili dogs, especially the bigger the better, could very well
cost him his life as he looked back and saw Sally's humongous mouth biting down
on the food.
"Whoa... I better beat it before I become the blue plate special!" Sonic
shouted. The problem was, being at such a near-micro size, navigating through
thick chili was a challenge like nothing else in Mobius, and Sonic quickly found
that out when he ran into a think chunk of the gooey sauce and could not break
free.
"Ughhhhhh.... feels like mega muck!" Sonic shouted. He looked to the back and
saw Sally's sparkling white teeth take another huge bite out of the chili dog.
"Mmmm... I guess I can see why Sonic loves these things so much." Sally said.
The next bite, of course she didn't know, was about to include the tiny Sonic.
"Sally! Noooooooooo!!!" Sonic shouted. When it became quite obvious that Sally
wouldn't hear those words and he was seconds away from being flattened by the
biggest teeth he would ever see, Sonic turned on the high speed, running in the
opposite direction fast enough that he eventually broke out of the chili sauce.
Sonic narrowly avoided being crushed by the teeth, that was the good news.
But the bad news? He was now standing on Sally's tongue inside her mouth, and
the remnants of the chili dog were coming straight at him!
"Whoaaaaaaaaa!!" Sonic shouted. The chewed up fragments were falling towards
Sonic like a landslide. The big chunks of chili dog, on top of the slippery and
sticky saliva that covered Sally's tongue, left the hedgehog with no chance to
save himself. He eventually lost his footing and felt himself falling down the
long tunnel known to one and all as the esophagus.
Meanwhile, as Sally finished off the rest of the chili dog and swept her
tongue around her teeth cleaning them out, Bunnie came walking in.
"Hey there, sugah." Bunnie said. Sally quickly looked towards the door and faced
her friend.
"Oh... hi, Bunnie. I didn't see you come in." Sally said.
"Ya'll right? You're lookin' a little stressed out." Bunnie said.
"What? Who? Me? Stressed out?" Sally asked. Bunnie looked down at the plate full
of crumbs that were leftover from the chili dog, and Bunnie immediately knew
what was up.
"You ate one of Sonic's chili dogs, didn't ya?" Bunnie said.
"Well... yes, I did. I couldn't help myself." Sally said.
"You really are worried about Sonic, aren't ya, sugah?" Bunnie said.
"(sigh) Yes, Bunnie. I know you said to be patient, but Sonic's been gone for so
long... I'm getting so worried." Sally said, with Bunnie looking at the sad face
that Sally was showing.
"Come on, Sal, we should see if Rotor's tracking machinery can find that little
ol' hedgehog." Bunnie said.
"Yeah, good idea." Sally said. She got up and walked out of her home, just
as Bunnie put an arm behind Sally's shoulders to support her friend.
Sonic, on the other hand, felt like he was falling for a long time, and it
didn't make him feel better when the darkness was broken by the sight of pink
walls and a green liquid underneath. Sonic looked around and eventually saw a
bread crumb from the chili dog that was a little bigger than he was.
"No way am I going to be a hedgehog melt today!" Sonic said. He moved over
towards the crumb and perched himself on top of it, just as it landed in the
stomach acid and splashed everywhere. Sonic was safe for the time being, but he
knew the crumb was not going to last as it would be digested quickly by the
acid, along with him.
But luckily, contrary to what Sally has told him, Sonic was quick on thinking
just as he was quick with his feet. He stared at the pink stomach walls and
thought back to the one tactic he used to dodge a whole series of traps inside
the evil Lazar's fortress.
"Well, if it worked then... it's gotta work now." Sonic said. Then he thought
about what might happen once he upset Sally's stomach enough, and there was no
denying that too.
"I just hope Sal will forgive me after I do this. Gotta juice and cut it loose!"
Sonic shouted. With a bold leap, Sonic planted his feet on the stomach walls and
then began to run circles along the wall. If anyone was capable of this bold and
daring move, it was definitely Sonic.
As Sally and Bunnie were walking slowly towards Rotor's hut, Sally suddenly
had to hold her stomach.
"Ow! Ooohhh...." Sally said.
"Sally girl, what's wrong?" Bunnie asked.
"Bunnie, I..." Sally said, but had to stop talking when she had to move her hand
up her body as she felt something rising up from her stomach.
Inside her stomach, Sonic watched as the stomach acid suddenly churned like crazy, bubbling up and rising quickly. Sonic made another timely leap onto a larger crumb piece from the chili dog, and just held on for the ride as the mix of food and fluids went rising up the esophagus.
---
Sally finally couldn't contain the pain that was taking over her stomach.
Only making it a few steps backwards, Sally fell down on all fours and vomited.
"*cough cough!*" Sally coughed after throwing up whatever was left in her
stomach.
"Sally! Oh my stars!" Bunnie said as she ran alongside Sally and kneeled down
next to her, checking on her good friend.
Sonic, almost playing it like a surfer as he rode the chunk of chili dog up
to her mouth and then out of it, held on tight as he flew right out of Sally's
mouth and the light from outside almost blinded him. Eventually, he lost his
grip on the piece of chili dog and ended up falling into the pool of vomit.
Sonic tried rubbing himself clean of the mix of sticky fluids he just endured
through.
"Whew! I think I'll stick to raiding Robuttnik's fortresses!" Sonic said.
Finally able to fully recover his vision, he looked up as Sally continued to
cough up some of the vomit. Despite the mess, he once again frantically waved
his arms trying to get someone's attention.
Eventually, Rotor and Tails (who were inside Rotor's home) came running out
to check on Sally as well.
"What... what happened!?" Rotor asked.
"I don't know, sugah. She just threw up... but then again she's been worried
sick about Sonic for the past couple hours." Bunnie said.
"Are you okay, Aunt Sally?" Tails asked.
"I'll be fine... I'm just a little stressed out, that's all." Sally said as she
was slowly recovering from the vomiting.
"Huh? What's that?" Rotor said, pointing down to the puddle that was on the
ground.
"Oh, that's probably whatever couldn't be digested of that chili dog." Bunnie
said.
"No, I mean... that spot in the middle of it." Rotor said as he pointed down to
what appeared to be a tiny blue-ish spot in the middle of the mess.
Sonic almost gasped. Did someone finally notice him? He picked up his voice once
more.
"Sal! Bunnie! Everyone, it's me, SONIC!!!" Sonic shouted. Bunnie took a closer
look at the spot Rotor was pointing at.
"It looks like a little ol' bug. Maybe that's what made poor Sally girl throw
up." Bunnie said.
"A little ol' bug!?" Sonic shouted.
"Don't worry, ya'll! Bunnie Rabbot, professional bug squasher to the rescue!"
Bunnie said. She raised one of her robotic feet up, and Sonic shivered with
fear. Was he going to be crushed and the Freedom Fighters not even know it? He
prayed for a miracle, and luckily got one as Tails placed a hand on Bunnie's
shoulder.
"Bunnie, wait! The bug's innocent!" Tails said.
"And it might even be already dead from the stomach acid..." Rotor said. Sally,
while all this was going on, was studying the blue spot in her vomit.
"Huh? Wait a minute..." Sally said.
That's when she reached back and pulled her handheld computer, Nicole, off
from one of her boots.
"Nicole, activate external camera view." Sally said.
"Activating, Sally." Nicole said. Soon, the view screen changed to that of the
puddle of vomit.
"Magnify times 100." Sally said.
"Magnifying, Sally." Nicole said. Sally watched as the camera zoomed in tight in
the middle of the puddle. Suddenly, the blue spot was not a spot at all.
Everyone was looking right at a vomit-covered Sonic the Hedgehog on Nicole's
screen.
"It's... it's Sonic!" Rotor shouted.
"Sonic!? No way! He's supposed to be in Metallic Madness! Um... right?" Tails
said. Sally put Nicole to the side and leaned in to get a closer look at the
tiny Sonic (putting up with the smell of her own vomit in the process).
"Sonic? Is that you?" Sally asked. Sonic put up with not only the extremely loud
voice of the normal-sized Sally, but also getting the closest close-up he would
probably ever get of Sally's face, aside from kissing her.
"Yep, in the flesh... what I still have of it anyway." Sonic said. Bunnie looked
in up close as well.
"Well, I declare. When I say little ol' Sonic, you're really taking the cake,
sugah!" Bunnie said.
"Haha, funny, Bunnie!" Sonic said, giving a thumbs up to the giantess.
"Sonic... what happened to you!?" Sally said.
"Well, I goofed off... like you told me NOT to do. I ended up running into this
red ray, and the next thing I know, I'm a hedgebug!" Sonic said, flashing a
smile.
"That's not funny, Sonic. I could've digested you!" Sally said, quickly figuring
he was on the chili dog that she had eaten earlier.
"Is so!' Sonic said.
"Is not!" Sally said.
"Is so!" Sonic said.
"Arrrrrgh! Even when you're as small as an ant, you're still annoying!" Sally
said.
"Thank you, thank you. Anyway, I'm hoping you guys have a way to fix this!"
Sonic said.
"Hmmm... I think I have an enlarging ray in my closet that an old friend made
for me years ago... I mean, for situations like this." Rotor said.
"Alright, but get me a pair of tweezers first for Sonic." Sally said.
"Awww... what's wrong? Afraid to pick up little me?" Sonic said.
"No... I'm just not touching you when you're covered with vomit." Sally said.
---
Moments later, after getting a good washing in one of the sinks, Sonic was
now standing in the palm of Sally's hand. Everyone waited patiently as Rotor was
digging out his special enlarging ray. While everyone was waiting, Sonic had
told the rest of his big adventure... including being stuck in the shower with
Sally.
"You did what!?" Sally shouted.
"Hey, come on! I had to do whatever I could to get your attention!" Sonic
shouted.
"Still, sugah. Let me offer some little ol' advice. A girl's shower is the very
last place ya want to be in." Bunnie said.
"Yeah, I figured that out quickly." Sonic said. Sally of course wasn't too
happy. She knew that Sonic could've easily drowned or fallen in the drain in a
situation like that, so no matter how he justified it, she wouldn't hear much of
it.
None of that mattered anymore, though, when Rotor turned around and displayed
his special enlarging ray.
"Here it is! Specially designed to cure any type of shrinking ailment." Rotor
said. Sally remembered the ray too. She had hoped that one day Rotor would
redesign it to make herself or the other Freedom Fighters bigger, therefore
making their war on Robotnik a lot easier, but such plans never came to
fruition.
"You're a genius, Rotor!" Tails said.
"Yeah, I guess I am. Now, Sally, please place Sonic on the nearby table." Rotor
said. Sally nodded and proceeded to walk towards the table. As she started to
lower her hand and allow Sonic to climb off, she stopped.
"Sally?" Bunnie asked.
"What's up, Aunt Sally?" Tails asked.
"Oh, I was thinking of keeping Sonic this tiny for a little while, just to show
how disappointed I am with the way he's acted since Metallic Madness." Sally
said as she stared right down at the tiny Sonic.
"Um... now, Sal! No hard feelings, right?" Sonic said, sweating over the idea he
may be a slave to the giant Sally for however long she decided.
"But what happens if Robotnik were to strike?" Rotor asked.
"Yeah, girl. Ya might want to think about this little ol' decision. We're gonna
need Sonic if we're to defeat Robotnik." Bunnie said.
Sally looked at her friends, and then looked down on Sonic. They were right.
As annoying as Sonic can be to her, they needed him at all times.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Sally said. She finally tilted her hand and allowed
Sonic to slide down and land on the table. After Sally backed away, Rotor aimed
the gun at Sonic.
"Here we go!" Rotor said. He fired the weapon and its energy surrounded both the
table and Sonic himself. But it was Sonic who could feel himself getting bigger.
After about thirty seconds, the energy faded, and Sonic was back to his
normal size.
"Woohoo! Alright!" Sonic said as he made a triumphant leap off the table. Bunnie
and Tails both hugged their hero.
"Oh... welcome back, sugar hog!" Bunnie said.
"It's good to see you back to normal, Sonic!" Tails said.
"Yeah, me too, little buddy!" Sonic said. He then looked over towards Sally, who
stood with her arms folded and a slight frown on her face. Sonic, of course,
played it cool, and smiled as he approached her.
"Well?" Sonic asked.
"Well what?" Sally asked.
"Aren't you gonna welcome back your number one hero?" Sonic said. Sally just
sighed. She then unfolded her arms and wrapped them around Sonic, eventually
giving him a long kiss.
"Awww... so adorable, those two." Bunnie said.
"Yuck... mushy stuff." Tails said silently.
After the kiss, Sally sighed in front of Sonic.
"(sigh) Why can't I stay angry with you?" Sally asked.
"I don't know, but I'm glad that's one trait you're bad at." Sonic said.
"Well, I'm starved. Anyone up for some chili dogs?" Rotor casually asked.
"Sure, just hold the hedgehog!" Sonic said, prompting a laugh from everyone in
the room. Eventually, Sally joined in on the laughter as well.
Because this is Sonic the Hedgehog she was dealing with, after all.
