It’s a snowy day in Green Hills, Montana. The entire Sonic Team is gathered inside the cozy house, each doing... their own version of “normal.”
Sonic is zipping back and forth around the living room like a hyper blue lightning bolt. Tails is hunched over his gadget at the kitchen table, so deeply focused that even an alien apocalypse wouldn’t break his concentration. Knuckles? He’s punching random furniture again — which of course leads to Maddie yelling from the kitchen where she’s trying to bake donuts in peace.
"Knuckles! That was my good chair!"
Shadow lounges in the corner, arms crossed, clearly doing nothing — but somehow doing it with intense purpose. Amy is chasing Sonic playfully, zipping around like a pink blur in sync with him. Rouge the Bat? She’s asleep, hanging upside down from the ceiling fan. Don’t ask how. Silver is off by the window, mumbling to himself about timelines or some headache-inducing paradox. Cream the Rabbit is sitting with Cheese the Chao, having a very serious discussion about who gets the last cookie.
And Longclaw? She watches it all from a distance, like a wise old guardian. Occasionally, she mutters things like, “No,” or “Don’t do that,” like a weary space-owl mom trying to keep her galactic children in order.
Suddenly, the front door opens and a rush of cold air floods the room. Tom Wachowski steps inside, brushing snow off his jacket, grinning like he just won the lottery.
"Alright everyone—gather up! I’ve got a surprise for you!"
That one sentence brings the room to a sudden pause.
Sonic skids to a stop next to Amy, who also freezes in place. Tails lifts his goggles and finally looks up. Knuckles stands beside him, trying to peek at his gadget but looking confused. Shadow raises an eyebrow and stands up straighter. Rouge wakes with a blink but stays dangling upside down. Silver mutters, “What now?” but walks over. Cream clutches Cheese and perks up with curiosity. Maddie sighs at the mess... but lets it slide for now. Longclaw narrows her glowing eyes — she senses something different is about to happen.
Everyone gathers in front of Tom, forming a loose half-circle. Tom looks around at the crowd, eyes sparkling and he talk with his voice full of excitement.
"We’ve got a new friend joining Team Sonic! Come on in—don’t be shy!"
He gestures dramatically toward the front door. All eyes turn to it, anticipation thick in the air. Sonic leans forward, Amy clutches her hammer tight with curiosity, even Shadow looks vaguely interested. The moment is yours.
So what are you? A scientist? A human like Tom and Maddie? Another alien from the stars? Or something else entirely—something no one’s ever seen before?
The choice is yours. But whatever you decide... Hurry up! They’re all waiting. 👀✨
