Creature of the Night

“Well, in my zone, Eggman managed to turn me this way and make it permanently night until I can change it back to daylight so I don’t even want to imagine what would happen if my friends got involved…” he went back onto all fours, he was rather ashamed of himself.

"Ah, so you're only like this at night like a lot of em' are. I'm like this all the time. Even durin' the day! Y'know though dude, you shouldn't have to be scared for your friends. They ain't scared of the dark, and they sure as heck won't be freaked out by the way you look, if that's what you were thinkin'."

He bit the edge of his thumbnail.

“N-No, at least, I hope not….I left them….as soon as I became, this.”

He looked away.

“It is not like us, I know but, there are some things….that our friends are better off not knowing for there safety.”

"Whoa, so have you not seen any of em' since you changed?! Why the heck is that?"

For their safety? Maybe somethin's goin' on that I don't know about. Somethin' else.

"What would be unsafe about them seein' ya' this way?" he asked, raising one hand up in a questioning gesture.

He looked down at his boots with a sad smile.

“It’s nice to know everyone is doing alright….” He had to wonder what his friends were doing ever since he went into hiding.

He head picked up at his counterparts question.

He got up on his two legs and held out his hands, not stretching them of course.

“Can you see my arms? well, they are the range I can see in colour, anything out of that range, I am colourblind, so I can’t see you properly, because you are out of that range.” he explained, he didn’t want to go though it all.

The other werehog appeared to be very sad. Sonic thought that he might be worse off than he was himself.

"Ah man! That really sucks! I don't know why that's only a thing for you and not for me, weird. But uh, why do you ask how everyone is? I think you said somethin' about how you don't see them anymore? Why, did somethin' happen to them?"

"FLUFFY!"

Sonic tsked slightly as the mood on his face lightened up a little.

“How is everyone? I presume you’re not like me and you still see them.” he cocked a brow, going into a crouching position.

“And, if I may ask, how’s your sight?”

"Everyone's good! I think. Shadow's been pretty good. The lucky guy's been gettin' to spend more time with me lately so there's no way he ain't happier than his old angsty self ever was. Tails has been around; it's been a while, but he's a busy kid. He's growin' up an' all. Amy still chases me around whenever she can find me. Somehow, in this slower form, I got better at stayin' away from her. Lucky me! The only guy I haven't seen since I changed is Knux. I assume he's still guardin' that ol' glowy rock a' his though! Well, maybe not the only guy. I haven't seen Eggman either, but I ain't complainin' there." he long-windedly answered his counterpart's first question, and then moved on to reply to the second one.

"My eyesight? It's fine. Why? Is somethin' wrong with yours?"

Werehog snapped out of his dream of turning back to himself to see a mirror look alike.

“….is this a mirror joke?…” He though aloud in a bitter tone, as he approached on all fours) the other though, he wasn’t reflecting him.

“…It looks like I’m not the only one stuck like this.” He smiled a little, even though his tone was slightly bitter, less bitter than before though.

“I suppose this is how do you do?” he tilted his head.

The other werehog Sonic didn't appear too happy. Sonic sensed the bitterness in his voice. It was a tiny bit strange, and his copy walking on all fours increased the strangeness factor to moderate levels. The smile made it a little better.

"Uh, I'm good," he replied to his furry counterpart, while scratching his head. He blinked, and snapped back into the excitement that had momentarily slipped from his mind. "But yeah! It's way past cool to find out that I'm not the only Sonic out there in this kinda hairy situation."

He couldn't help but crack a smile at his own horrible pun.

Sonic couldn't believe his eyes. What appeared to be standing before him from a distance, was another Sonic that was stuck in the same wolf-like form that he was.

It's about flippin' time! I thought I was the only one!

He needed to get the other werehog's attention. He spoke towards him with his gruff voice, almost yelling, "Heeey! Hey you! Dude! Hey! Hey dude!" With wide-open eyes, he frantically waved both arms at his look-alike in the distance. He would soon become aware of how silly he looked, but didn't realize or care at the moment.
