Human-Hedgehog

Human or Hedgehog?

Jackie

When Sapphire and Alexis show me around the house, it left me in awe. It's so beautiful.
Then they show me my room. So beautiful and blue. Different shades of blue. And there's a golden mirror.
I then hear a knock at my door. It's Sonic. I walk over to my mirror, and the reflection I see is me as a human.
I place my hand on the mirror, as Sonic walks to beside me.
"I know Eggman gave me another life," I tell him. "But to be honest... I miss my old life as a human."
"Sapph was like that too," he replies. "She missed her human life. But she had us to look after her. Just like you do now."
At that moment, Tails burst in. "Jackie! Guess what?" He says. "Come to my lab and see!"

I see that Tails has built 2 machines in his lab. How fast can he build stuff?
"This first machine can reverse what Eggman did to you if you're not happy being a Mobian," Tails explains to me, "and this second one, given enough power supply, can return you home."
"I can go home?" I ask, hiding the tears in my eyes.
"If we can get enough power into it," he replies "then yes."
"Oh my God, thank you Tails!" I hug him so tight.
I can go home soon!
"Sadly," he adds "we don't have enough power supply yet. It may take ages to get enough power."
"Unless," says a low voice from behind. Shadow. "Unless we get the Emeralds."
"Shadow's right," Sonic adds from behind Shadow. "If we can get the Chaos Emeralds, it might be enough to get Jackie home a human!"
"Like I said," Tails interrupts. "it may take ages. They're very hard to find."
Ages? It'll be ages before I can go home?
"I need some air," I tell them. But instead, I run back to the house, to my room, holding back my tears.
