Guesses for which character will be associated with which dish in the upcoming Sonic cookbook.
Blue is confirmed, either through the preview pages or name-drops in the title; or, in Chip's case, "it showed up in his game"
Red is "most likely"
reasonings for a couple down here:
Eat n' Run definitely sounds like Sonic
"Future-proof" with "Egg" tarts is confusing. My main guess is Eggman but Silver/Nega aren't off the table
"Perfect Note" could, as @birdsareblooming mentioned to me, be a reference to Tails Music Maker. Other than that, Vector's the main musician of the gang
"Eat Red Spheres" is def a reference to classic gameplay
"Tornado" Chips is very likely for Tails's plane
"Royal" Roasted Pinwheels, huh? Blaze.
"My Daily Respite" is also very vague. Could be Eggman?
"Burrito Blasts" could really be anyone, considering we all blast a lot. Shadow's probably the most likely with his usage of chaos blast.
"Luxurious Light Fare" – Luxurious sounds like a word Rouge would use. Other than that, I got nothin
"Island's" Bounty Salad seems like an Angel Island thing
NO idea what "Sumptuous Salad" could be. Maybe Eggman?
"A Simple Deduction" is either Eggman or Tails, they're the only ones who talk like that
"Leaf Swirl Salad" could be Sonic swirling up leaves as he runs, or something Big or Sticks eat in the woods
"Bangle Bagels"– Amy's bracelets could be considered bangles? My main guess is Rouge because her main thing is Jewelry. Bangles are also v popular in south asia so it could be Blaze, but I've never seen her wear any.
"Unlimited Potential" is a chaos emerald thing, right?
"Simple Pleasures" sounds very Big, but I could also see Knux or Espio
"When a Flatfoot's Flat Broke"– "Flatfoot" is a term for a detective or cop, and well. Vector be broke
Anything with "Ninja" in the title is probably Espio
"West Side Island" Sandwich is prob Tails
The "Rival's" Chili Dog is def Shadow being annoying <3
"Villain" Sub and Perfect "Egg"dog being next to each other is interesting; it's possible they'll have two of the same character in a row but maybe we'll have another villain?
"Catch o' the Day" is def Big
"The Master Meal Plan" sounds like Master Emerald, so Knux
"The Garlic Collector" – I put Rouge for "collector" but I SWEAR that title is a reference to some old mystery novel?? I just can't put my finger on which. So it could be Chaotix if that's the case
"Tangled Leads" could be Tangle buuuuuut it's more likely to be Vector with the "Mystery" angle
"Hidden Truth" is also a mystery angle but the usage of "hidden" seems like they'll use Espio
"Timeless" Comfort Food makes me emotional like ok Silver
Blaze's kingdom is ocean-based so she's def the "Sea-Born Monarch"
Tails and his Mint Candy, man
"Seven Rings in Hand" def references Sonic and the Secret Rings. Whether it's Sonic himself or Shahra in here...
"World Uniting" sounds a lot like a Sonic Unleashed thing
"Edge of Darkness" is something a hot topic kid would come up with so it's Shadow
The "Family Cookie Recipe" and "Mother's Specialty" both sound very much like Cream. But again, two in a row? Family cookie could also be Robotnik fam maybe? And mother's specialty could be Rouge's unseen mom?
"Colorful Companions" seems to be a ref to Sonic Colors and the wisps
"Caffeine Control" is this one isn't just "eat the coffee beans directly" then what is the point
"Diamonds in the Sky" couuuuld be Rouge cause gem ref but that's DEFINITELY a ref to Sonic R
"Vim n Vigor" idfk dude it's probably Vector just for the alliteration

Sonic Boom - S3E12
Chapter title: Schrödinger's Hedgehog, Part 1
Summary: The final mystery about Shadow begins. Who is he, really? Why has he always stayed distant from others? What is his story?
This four-part special will answer all of those questions and more.
AO3 Link
First | Previous | Next
[Scene opens on the six heroes playing volleyball. Sonic, Knuckles and Tails have formed one team, leaving Amy, Sticks, and Shadow on the other.]
“Knux! Knux! I’m open, let me spike it!” Sonic shouted, leaping into the air. The echidna obligingly passed it to him, helping their team score a point as Sonic smashed it into the sand. Shadow teleported in front of the ball before it could roll into the forest and carried it back, shooting Sonic an absolutely deadly look in the process (whether for scoring a point or for making him go get the ball, it wasn’t entirely clear).
“Come on, guys, we won’t lose to them, will we?” Amy insisted, doing her best to inspire her teammates. Carefully, she served the ball, giving Sticks an opportunity to set it over the net. After a few more minutes of tense play, Tails stumbled in the sand, giving Shadow a perfect opening to spike the ball himself. He smirked, making direct eye contact with Sonic as his palm connected with the volleyball.
Unfortunately for him, the angle of his hand turned out to be just ever so slightly off. He realized this quickly, only seconds before all the others, and his expression shifted into one of mild horror before his hand had even left the ball. It was obvious enough that the moment he landed, everyone else automatically turned towards the water, waiting for the splash of an out-of-bounds shot.
Instead, they all watched, mildly stunned, as it sailed over the horizon.
The moment Shadow landed in the sand, they turned back to him, staring incredulously. He winced. “I guess I hit it harder than I meant to.” he said nervously into the silence.
Suddenly, the entire team exploded in cheers and laughter. “Man, that was awesome!” Sonic cried.
“I just wish I’d gotten it on video.” Tails sighed wistfully.
Sticks walked up to the group, smiling one of her rare genuine smiles. “This’ll be one of those stories we’ll talk about for years, won’t it?”
“You know it!” Knuckles cheered excitedly.
Meanwhile, Shadow just smiled awkwardly and wished with all his might (despite all of the positive attention he was getting) that he hadn’t done it at all.
[The same intro sequence plays as last time, but Shadow is slightly less irritated. He still refuses to play along with the others, but is no longer outright angry. If anything, he looks slightly amused by the others and their antics.]
[There is no villain reveal in this episode, however, and so Dr. Eggman is introduced like an ordinary character (since he is one of the main characters of the show, as he himself would inform anyone at the slightest provocation).]
[The intro then continues on, before ending with the title of this week’s episode.]
After the abrupt ending to their volleyball game, the team decided to wander around town and see if there was anything else interesting to do. In Shadow’s opinion, the simple fact that the other five existed was entertaining enough to count as ‘interesting’ all on its own, but they didn’t seem to agree.
Approximately two and a half seconds after they stepped across the town’s border, an extraordinarily loud shriek of “My baby!” was heard, and everyone except for Shadow (who hadn’t experienced this enough to get sick of it yet) groaned. 
“Not this again!” Sonic complained, even as the entire team headed in the direction of the shout to investigate.
“Does this woman know the first thing about childcare?” Amy sighed. “You’re not supposed to keep your eyes off your child for any extended period of time!”
Once the six made it to the scene, they discovered that this time, the baby in question had somehow managed to clamber up to the top of the highest building in town. They were currently attempting to climb the spire at the very top, but kept on slipping each time.
Sonic sighed. “Can someone else keep the baby from falling today? I’m just not feeling it right now.”
“I got it! I’m great at climbing!” Knuckles said, immediately digging his spikes into the side of the building and hauling himself onto the roof. He was just in time, too, as the baby’s most recent attempt to clamber up the extremely thin spire ended in a near disaster. They completely lost their grip on the metal pole, and began to slide down the roof towards the edge—on the opposite side from Knuckles.
Just as the baby was about to slide over the edge, the echidna dove across the roof, caught the baby in one arm, and then rolled off the side before catching himself on the gutter with his other hand. Gently, he dropped to the ground and handed the baby back to their delighted mother…who immediately wandered off to resume her shopping, not even bothering to give him the praise he deserved.
Thankfully, his friends were there to do that for her.
“Ohmygosh, Knuckles, that was actually so cool!” Tails cried, his eyes wide. “Where’d you learn tricks like that?”
“Oh, you know.” Knuckles said, and then didn’t elaborate.
“No, we don’t, actually.” Sticks replied, giving him a slightly bewildered look.
“I mean, living alone in the wilderness for most of your formational and adolescent years means you learn all kinds of cool survival stuff.” Knuckles explained. “Have you…oh right, you guys have always had houses! I forgot that not everyone is new to this house thing like me.”
“You…forgot?” Amy asked, frowning.
“Yep!” Knuckles smiled cheerfully, clearly unaware that it was abnormal to have spent most of one’s life on this island without a house.
Now that the latest crisis had been averted, the team continued throughout the town in search of something at least as exciting as a baby almost dying.
“Oh, wow!” Tails gasped when they passed the movie theater, running up to the front doors. He pointed at a poster excitedly. “Look at this, guys! I can’t believe the theater is actually getting the new Tommy Thunder movie! It’s coming out next week, and see, it’s called Rise of the Robot Overlords! It’ll be so cool to see someone fighting robots on the big screen just like us!” 
Shadow twitched, his legs slowing down automatically. The poster depicted Tommy Thunder (obviously) stabbing one robot through the chest with a massively oversized sword and shooting another robot’s head off with an equally massively oversized gun. 
Shadow wrenched his eyes away from the image with great difficulty, staring at the ground instead.
Amy shrugged. “I’m glad you’re excited, but we fight robots every day! What’s so special about these ones? They’re all just there to get destroyed in battle or blown up anyway.”
The striped hedgehog opened his mouth to speak, before shutting it again.
“They’re made with really cool special effects, that’s all!” Tails said, his eyes sparkling. “Plus, I always like to see if I can figure out what’s a model and what’s CG.”
Sticks’s eyes grew so wide it was a surprise that they didn’t take up most of their face. “Wait, hang on, why is nobody talking about the title of the movie?! Rise of the WHAT? They’re not even hiding their plans anymore! Everybody! Find food and shelter while you still can!” they screamed, running around the town at top speed.
[Their shrieking is still faintly audible for most of the rest of the scene.]
Shadow winced again, before doing his best to mask it as something brought on by Sticks screaming.
Knuckles frowned. “I dunno, Tails…your robots are cool, but I don’t trust any of the others. Most of them are either made by Eggman or don’t do what they’re supposed to. Or both!”
Tails folded his arms. “What about FriendBot? Or Q-N-C and MAIA?” he asked, not noticing the way Shadow outright flinched. “They were helpful!”
“Oh, are you guys talking about robots?” Eggman asked, strolling up with his arms full of grocery bags. 
“Yeah!” Tails said. “Knuckles thinks that most robots are bad, and Amy thinks they’re boring.”
“Wait, where did you come from?” Amy asked the doctor suspiciously.
“I heard someone talking about robots—which is my specialty, in case you hadn’t noticed—and decided that the conversation would undoubtedly be improved by my input!” Eggman said proudly. “Also, I came from the grocery store. Could you not tell that by the fact that I am currently holding groceries?”
Amy sighed, pinching her brow, and refused to dignify that with a response.
Eggman rolled his eyes, returning to the original conversation. “They’re plenty helpful! All you have to do is keep reminding them that they’re replaceable, or else they’ll start getting all high and mighty about ‘wages’ and stuff like that. I mean, do you remember that time mine went on strike? It was a disaster!”
“They are not replaceable!” Amy cried. “Bea is absolutely unique, and I love her very much!”
“So are you saying that not all robots are boring, then?” Tails replied smugly. 
Amy huffed. “Not all of them! I’d never generalize like that. But look at all of the ones in this movie! They’re faceless and boring, like those Sentinel things. Bea has much more personality than this!”
Shadow cringed at the sound of the word ‘Sentinel’. He began carefully moving towards the side of the movie theater, hoping to escape this conversation.
“Hey Shadow!” Sonic called, making him freeze in his tracks. The hero had bought a box of popcorn and was leaning against a wall, watching the others as they argued. “What do you think of robots?”
“I…don’t have much of an opinion on them.” he said, measuring each word carefully. “Lyric’s robots were awful for the most part, but the doctor’s are less so.”
Sonic ate another handful of popcorn before replying. “Fair enough! I just figure, if they’re cool and can help us, then sure, they’re great! But otherwise, I’m happy smashing them. Tails is the one with all the gadgets—I can live with or without ‘em.”
“Oh. I suppose that makes sense.” Shadow said quietly.
[The camera cuts to show him clenching his fists at his sides, tightly enough that his claws begin to pierce the fabric of his gloves.]
Suddenly, a violent rumble shook the ground, making everyone reel and struggle to keep their balance. Sticks skidded to a stop next to the rest of the group, dropping down to all fours immediately. “Earthquake!” they screeched.
The moment that the first wave had passed, the heroes sprang into action. “Alright!” Sonic cried. “Everyone, get into a doorway or under a table! You’ll be safe there until this thing is over!”
He and Shadow began to rush around the village, helping the people who were stuck outside with nowhere to go. Meanwhile, the others began rapidly to get those closer nearby to safety, switching into ‘hero mode’ with ease. 
Except for Eggman, of course. He just leapt into his Eggmobile and flew away to his island (though he did help one or two people before leaving, and immediately swore them to secrecy on pain of death).
Sonic dashed back to the movie theater, tucking himself under the ticket counter with the others just as the second wave began. They all linked hands as quake after quake passed through, riding it out until the very end.
The moment it ended, the hero checked on Tails first, making sure his little brother was okay. “I’m fine, Sonic!” he insisted, waving the hedgehog away fondly. “I was right here with you, wasn’t I?”
“Everyone else alright?” he asked, checking in on the rest of his friends.
“All good here!” Amy replied, smiling at him. “Sticks and Knuckles seem fine to me too. How’s Shadow?”
“Shadow?” Sonic frowned. “Wasn’t he with you?”
“No, the last time I saw him was when he was running around with you.” she insisted.
Suddenly, they all realized the same thing at once. “Then…where is Shadow?” Amy whispered.
Sonic turned pale. “Oh, no…”
[cut to commercials]
[…]
[fade back in]
When the show returned, the entire team was already rushing all over the village, searching for Shadow. Tails was busy scanning for life signs from above, while Sonic sped throughout the streets as quickly as he could, hoping to spot Shadow safe and sound anywhere at all. Amy asked around, searching for clues as to where he’d been seen last, and Sticks and Knuckles took the more direct approach of simply digging through rubble at random in hopes of stumbling upon him.
After several tense minutes, including more than a few futile calls of his rival-turned-friend’s name, Sonic stumbled upon the little pink porcupine who had been a fan of his in times past weeping on the ground.
“Mister?” she sobbed. “Mister, please, get up…”
Sonic felt his body go cold. “Hey there, kiddo.” he said softly, forcing his face into a noticeably false smile. “What happened?”
“That hedgehog, he—he saved me,” she whimpered, “‘cause the big house was gonna fall on me but it fell on him instead!” She began to wail openly, and Sonic hugged her, his body moving on autopilot. He sent an SOS to the rest of the team, calling them to his position.
“Oh my…” Amy whispered, the first to arrive.
Tails and Knuckles held each other quietly as they appeared on the scene, and even Sticks found her usual energy vanishing as she saw what had happened. However, she was also the first to step forward and take charge, since she was (somehow) the most no-nonsense of them all at times.
“We should start by clearing off all of…this.” she said, gesturing at the house covering Shadow. 
Immediately, all five of them began to clear away the ruins of the house. At first, the porcupine girl helped a little, but they soon returned her to her mother, not wanting her to see whatever might lie underneath. Sonic dug frantically until Tails pulled him back for a quick hug, which he silently accepted. Sticks worked more methodically, Amy smashed bigger rocks into easier-to-lift chunks, and Knuckles hauled the biggest rocks of all out of the way. Tails mostly showed them where to dig without making the rubble collapse and crumble any further than it already had.
Soon enough, Shadow was exposed, and Knuckles carefully lifted his limp body out of the ruins of the house. Tails leaned over to listen for a moment, before sighing with relief. “I can hear his heartbeat.” he announced, letting the entire team relax for the first time in nearly an hour.
The fox flew with Knuckles as he carried Shadow back to the workshop, while the other three stayed behind to clean up a bit of the mess. It was very clear that they were struggling, though—Sonic couldn’t seem to stop tapping his feet, even when he was working, and Amy clutched her hammer like a lifeline. Sticks figured it made sense. They were two of the most exuberant and friendly people on the team, and they’d been the first ones to befriend Shadow. Of course they’d be the most nervous about him now.
As soon as the three were done fixing up what they could, Sonic dragged them back to the workshop as quickly as he possibly could. He burst through the doors frantically, looking everywhere for a glimpse of Shadow. 
“Is he okay?” he asked fearfully, rushing over to Tails. 
“I think so.” the fox replied. “I just can’t make sense of these pulse readings!”
“Does he need CPR?” Amy asked. “I’ve taken a couple of certification courses, just in case.”
“It’s not that…his heart’s beating just fine.” Tails explained. “It’s just that—you know how our hearts beat twice per cycle? Like this.” He tapped out a double rhythm on the table. Tap-tap. Tap-tap.
“Yeah?” Sonic said. “What’s this have to do with Shadow, pal?”
“His heart isn’t doing that. It sounds more like this.” Tap. Tap. Tap.
“Is that safe?” Knuckles wondered nervously.
“I…I just don’t know.” Tails muttered, disappointed. “It’s like whenever I try to scan him for injuries, something stops my machines from seeing what’s inside him. Like, they say the scan is finished and then a blank image of his insides pops up.”
“Maybe he doesn’t have any organs for you to scan.” Sticks’s eyes darted from side to side suspiciously.
“Sticks, that’s downright impossible!” Tails exclaimed. “There’s no way anyone could live without organs.”
“Maybe no one on this planet.” Sticks whispered. “But aliens could.”
Tails sighed, shook his head, and went back to recalibrating his machines.
Hours passed, and Shadow still didn’t stir. Amy, Knuckles, and Sonic had gone into the house to eat, even though none of them seemed particularly hungry. Tails suspected they just needed a break from worrying about their friend.
Sticks was still standing there, watching the prone hedgehog carefully. “It doesn’t make sense.” they murmured to themselves at one point. “If he was strong enough to break through my defenses, then he should be strong enough to deal with a house…”
Suddenly, while Tails’s back was turned, they crept up to where Shadow was lying. They’d never trusted machines before, and these scanner failures were just proving them right. Whether Shadow was an alien or not, he was still their friend, and they were determined to help however they could.
(Though they thought it would be very exciting if he was an alien.)
Carefully, they held his wrist and took his pulse themself. It did feel strange, but it was very faint and difficult to read through the glove. Despite that, though, Sticks was certain that whatever this was…
…it definitely wasn’t a hedgehog’s heart.
Determined to learn more, they began to carefully slide off his glove, feeling a tiny bit guilty but pressing forward anyway. If Shadow’s survival depended on uncovering his potential secrets, then a single glove couldn’t stand in the way of that.
They closed their eyes as it slid off, before peeking quickly. What they saw made their eyes widen and their fur stand on end.
“Tails?” they said weakly.
“Yeah? What is it, Sticks?”
“You, uh…might wanna come over here for a sec.”
“Did you find something new? Is—”
The moment he noticed what Sticks had seen, he froze.
“Oh, Chaos.” the two-tailed fox breathed, already reaching for his communicator.
[screen fades to black]
[Sticks complains, “Seriously? A cliffhanger now?! The government is trying to silence me! Don’t let them win!”]

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: School Trip
At the beginning of One More Hero after OMT!Sonic's summary, we cut to OMT!Tails having gotten ready for school whilst listening to Sunflower on his MP3 player.
OMT!Tails: Mmhmhmhmmm~. Ohohohoooh~!
He hummed along a bit to the song, with some Vocaloid-like lyrics coming from the song. Pretty familiar somewhat? As he did so, he heard Amy call from downstairs.
OMT!Amy: Hey, Tails!
OMT!Tails: Yeah?
OMT!Knuckles: You all done packing up for your first day back at school?
OMT!Tails: (Man. Can't believe I'm going back to school proper after a whole year on the hero job. Gosh, I'm so nervous, but I'm sure I can do it!) I've just finished ironing my last shirt, and I'm coming down!
He got his bag and headed downstairs.
OMT!Knuckles: Let's get going, little bro. The bus to Central City's gonna be departing shortly.
OMT!Tails: Okay, then! I'm ready to go!
They stepped outside, ready to get going.
OMT!Amy: See you on Friday, Tails!
???!?????: Hey! Wait for me!
OMT!Cream arrived, all ready for her first day back at school too.
OMT!Tails: Heh, great timing, Cream!
They got on the bus to head over to the city.
OMT!Cream: Are you looking forward to seeing Miss Sally this weekend, Tails?
OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah. I've really been looking forward to catching up with her. I really hope she's doing okay after...
OMT!Knuckles: Yeah, I get you, kid.
Tumblr media
A few minutes later, OMT!Tails and OMT!Knuckles got off the bus into the streets as the bus departed.
OMT!Knuckles: Hey, I just saw that new coffee shop over there. You see that, Tails?
OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.
OMT!Knuckles: Hmm... What was it called again?
OMT!Tails: Foam Party, wasn't it?
OMT!Knuckles: Ah, yeah. Still wondering whether it's actually a coffee shop or a disco place.
As they continued their walk, they heard a radio in a shop window.
News Anchor: There are multiple reports of another mysterious seismic event off the shore of the island. Sources close to Detective Ghost say she is currently looking into the problem.
OMT!Knuckles: Detective Ghost… I still don't know what Sonic saw in her. I mean, that girl swings through once a day and answers to very few, right?
OMT!Tails: I think she's pretty cool, though.
OMT!Knuckles: Meanwhile, guys like you and me, doing our part to keep South Island safe…
OMT!Tails: Mhm.
OMT!Knuckles: We've been showing our faces to the public. And with great ability should come great accountability for it.
OMT!Tails: That's not how Spidey's saying goes, Knux, heh.
OMT!Knuckles: Heh, sorry. Her special UNO deck Sonic funded is pretty cool, though. I'll give her that.
As they walked by, Kaede Titan, the secret assumer of the Detective Ghost identity, heard Knuckles's comment and couldn't blame him for disliking her hero self, as she headed over to Bumper High School alongside her adopted little brother, Max Cartwright.
Kaede: You ready to go, Max?
Max: Heh, sure am! I can't wait to catch up with Danny and Olivia again! (Hopefully Benny will actually lay off this week. He's such a jerk...)
They soon arrived at the door into the building.
Tumblr media
Max: See you later, Kaede!
Kaede: Bye, Max! Have a good day at school!
OMT!Tails and OMT!Knuckles stepped up by the area.
OMT!Knuckles: I'm sure you'll do great, Tails. Heh, with your genius, you might give some of the other students some inspiration.
OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.
He gave Knuckles a gentle hug.
OMT!Tails: See you this weekend, Knuckles.
OMT!Knuckles: See you then, Tails. Love you, little bro.
He stepped inside the school as Kaede watched from a distance, wanting to go and figure out what all the earthquake news was about. Once she was under cover, she pulled out a special hat and jacket, ready to figure out just who was behind the seismic events that plagued South Island's east end more recently.
A comic book with Detective Ghost is shown joining OMT!Sonic's game box.
"Okey-doke! Let's do this one last time."
Kaede is shown putting her hero mask on.
"My name is Kaede Titan. I gained my own ability to go at super-speed, and for a couple of years, I've been the one and only Detective Ghost! Sure some of you out there might know the rest."
A shot is shown of her easily dodging Dr. Razereye's lasers.
Dr. Razereye: Grr! Stop dancing and be incinerated already!
Detective Ghost: Nah!
"I've foiled Razereye's schemes..."
"Fell in love with Luna..."
"Adopted Max into my family..."
"...and then I saved the island from crooks time and time again!
Compared to Sonic, I got a whole secret identity thing going on, and though it's tough, I can say with confidence that I've loved helping save the day. And no matter how many times I get hit, I always find my way to keep on moving. Because right now, the only thing standing between South Island and oblivion... is me.
There's only one Detective Ghost out there. And you're lookin' at her!"
Back in reality, OMT!Tails stepped into Bumper High School, taking it all in as people passed him by.
Kickroyale: Yo, look who's back! What's kickin', kid?
OMT!Tails: Hey! Just walking by. How are you?
Olivia Kennedy (Max's GF): Hey, Tails! How's the weekend been?
OMT!Tails: Heh, pretty short, huh?
Samuel Ciprianni (Ms. Ciprianni's son): Did you feel that earthquake last night, too?
OMT!Tails: Eh, not really. I slept like a baby last night.
OMT!Tails came across Bobby Bearhug, who was also settling into school for the first time.
Bobby: Oh! Hey there!
OMT!Tails: Hey!
Bobby: I'm Bobby Bearhug. I'm one of the new students here. You similar?
OMT!Tails: Yeah. It's my open week this week. Name's Miles Prower, though people prefer to call me "Tails"!
Bobby: Well, lovely to meet you!
They shook hands, long enough for OMT!Tails to notice a basketball being lobbed at them and pulling Bobby aside. They noticed Benny as the source of the lobbing.
Benny: Been a while, losers.
OMT!Tails: Oh, great... On my first day here, Benny? Seriously? It's already getting old.
Benny walked up to him.
Benny: Look, Prower. I'm not in the mood to get another detention on the first day of the week, so I'd rather you made this easier and moved aside! You got it?!
Kickroyale saw this, readying himself to get even with Benny before OMT!Tails waved him back.
OMT!Tails: Actually, you know what, Benny? You aren't even worth the effort. It's ridiculous, really. You've still been doing the same old bully routine ever since the second grade. Trying to hit us with a basketball in the corridor? Seriously?
Other students and staff in the corridor watched OMT!Tails talk Benny down.
OMT!Tails: I can't believe I used to be so afraid of bullies. Look around you, Benny. A lot of us have grown up, but you're still the same pathetic loser who has to make other people's day a misery just to feel good about yourself. It's sad, really.
Everyone around him shared their applause for him standing up to Benny in a mature manner, leaving Benny to storm off in a huff.
Benny: Urgh! I'll just find someone else to bother! Fuck you, Tails!
A couple of minutes later, class was in session, with a video presentation led by a Head Scientist Zeel Windward in the session.
Head Scientist: ...countless other possibilities! There could be a universe where I'm wearing red, or I could be another creature entirely!
OMT!Tails stepped inside, a little bit late for class.
Mrs. Ciprianni: Heh, stumbling around in the dark, Tails? Didn't expect you to be late on your first open day.
OMT!Tails: Well, Einstein did say time is relative, right? Maybe I'm not late and everyone else started early.
A couple of sniggers came about from fellow students, including a young mongoose with long purple hair at the back.
????: Heh, sorry. It was just so quiet.
OMT!Tails took a seat at the back with her, Max and Danny, the lattermost having fallen asleep midway through.
Head Scientist: Our universe is, in fact, one of MANY happening at the exact same time. Thanks to everybody working as part of Comet-Innovation, we'll prove it exists once multiversal travel is fully stabilised. We just need a bit more funding to make it happen.
???? (Mina): I liked your pun, before, by the way.
OMT!Tails: Really?
Mina: I mean, it wasn't funny, that's why I laughed. But it shows you got smarts, so I liked it.
OMT!Tails: Heh, thanks. You know, I don't think I've seen you about before-.
Ms. Ciprianni: Shh!
OMT!Tails: Oh! Sorry.
They quietened down as the lesson continued.
Head Scientist: Every choice that we make, it could lead to whole alternate timelines with countless other possibilities. A What-If to reality!
A little later, OMT!Tails was checking his true/false mini-quiz with Ms. Ciprianni to see how he did.
Ms. Ciprianni: So you see, young Miles, if someone wearing a blind-fold on a true-or-false quiz picked the answers at random, what score would they get?
OMT!Tails: Fifty percent, of course!
Ms. Ciprianni: Heh, that's correct. And the only way to get all the answers wrong on this is to know which ones are right.
She added a "1" and "0" on either end of Tails's sheet to show he had gotten full marks.
Ms. Ciprianni: I can tell you're pretty nervous with starting high school, Tails, but I promise you'll do well here.
OMT!Tails: Y-You mean it?
She nodded with a smile.
Ms. Ciprianni: So, I'm gonna set you an essay to think about over the coming months. Don't worry, it's not anything urgent, and it's not about physics. It's about you, and what kind of person you want to be.
After he left class, Crafty Canvas (who goes by the nickname "CraftyCorn") came up to Tails.
Crafty: Hey, Tails.
OMT!Tails: Hey, Crafty! What's that you got there?
Crafty: A petition sheet I've been sharing around. You know how computers have been generating art and all that?
OMT!Tails: Yeah... As a tech kid myself, I'm not exactly a fan of it.
Crafty: This sheet is to help get it outlawed here on South Island. Would you mind signing it, please?
OMT!Tails: Of course I can!
He did so.
OMT!Tails: Hmm... Seeing as how I've got a mix-match schedule, is it okay if I go around collecting more signatures for you in my free time? I promise I'll hand you it back by the end of this week.
Crafty: Oh, yes, please. That would be lovely!
OMT!Tails: Sweet! Well, have a nice day, Crafty.
Crafty: You too, Tails!
Later on that evening, OMT!Tails was walking through town to visit Uma Arachnis, someone he looked up to, at the apartment complex. He found her texting on the couch before she saw him.
OMT!Tails: Hey, Uma! Haha! Did I scare ya?
A little bit later, she was doing the dishes as OMT!Tails practiced his fighting on a punching bag.
Uma: How are you settling into school, Tails?
OMT!Tails: Going great so far. I've already been getting a lot of friends AND stood up to a bully before.
Uma: Glad to hear it! You know, Tails, smart girls are where it's at. Place must be full of 'em.
OMT!Tails: *sigh* I sure wish so.
Uma: Hey, I can't have a brother-in-law of mine in the streets with no game, you know?
OMT!Tails: Sure I've got game! Ah, actually, there was one girl I remember from one of my classes. Long lavender hair, enjoyed a little joke I made... She's kinda into me. You know how it is.
Uma: What's her name?
OMT!Tails: I didn't get the chance to ask her today. We're just laying down the ground work at the moment.
She was amused by Tails doing his best to sound cool.
Uma: Hey. You know about the shoulder touch?
OMT!Tails: Of course! But tell me anyway, Uma.
Uma: Tomorrow, look out for that girl, walk up to her, and be like...
She put her hand on Tails's shoulder to demonstrate.
Uma: Hey~!
OMT!Tails: Heh! You serious, Uma?
Uma: I'm telling you, it clicks pretty well if done brilliantly.
OMT!Tails: So, I just walk up to her and be like "hey"?
Uma: Nonono. Like "hey"!
OMT!Tails: "Hey!"
Uma: Nah. "Heeeey~!"
OMT!Tails: "Heeeey~!" Hahaha!
Uma: You sure you're my brother-in-law, kid? Haha! C'mon, bro. I got a spot you probably won't believe!
They arrived in an underground sewer area.
OMT!Tails: How do you know about this place?
Uma: I've been doing an engineering job down here. I know these tunnels like the back of my hands. If anyone asks, tell them your art teacher sent you.
Soon, they entered a wide spot.
OMT!Tails: Woah... (echoing) Mobius! Mobius! Mobius!
The room's full of beautiful street art - a lovingly-made secret spot.
Uma: There's a lot of history on these walls.
OMT!Tails: This is so cool!
She tossed a spray can to Tails before turning on a stereo to play some music as he began making some art. As he did so, Uma signed the petition sheet, knowing Tails was gonna do the island proud.
Uma: The Tails I know well, coming outta hiding.
She gave him a helping hand, with a montage shown of them working on the art together, using multiple spray cans to make it stand out.
Uma: Wow!
OMT!Tails stepped back, admiring his work, built around his silhouette with nothing in the middle but two words; "NO EXPECTATIONS!".
OMT!Tails: Is it too crazy?
Uma: Nah, Tails. I see exactly the message you're trying to get across.
He smiled, so happy to have an art piece to call his own and to be expanded upon another time. Uma's phone vibrated as she saw a message.
Uma: Alright, then. Time for us to get rolling. You got a busy day tomorrow.
OMT!Tails: Heh, yeah.
He took a picture of the mural on his Camega before heading out, returning to his high-school dorm where Danny was.
Danny: *yawn* Hey, Tails. Still up and about?
OMT!Tails: Yeah. I'm ready to get some sleep now. Catch you in the morning, Danny!
Danny: Good night, bud!
He laid in the top bunk of the bed, ready to settle down, as Danny read a Detective Ghost comic in bed to help him drift to sleep.

Hi me again! Out of the alternative everyone in the Butterfly Effect, who is still the closest to their original personality?
Hello again mysterious anon! And oooh, such a good question! I think we have several contenders for most similar but I'll go over a few- Alt. Knuckles and OG Knuckles are very similar. Like, Sonic got to speedrun his friendship with Alt. Knuckles due to the fact that Tikal told him that Sonic was trustworthy and cool, it was a bit more rocky with OG Knux obviously because of Eggman's trickery and Knuckles' general paranoia. Alt. Knuckles is a bit more awkward and can get anxious in some social situations due to having been isolated for even longer - but all in all, he's doing pretty swell and very similar to his counterpart. Both versions are strong, dependable, got a good heart, and they aren't afraid to take action OG Shadow and Alt. Shadow are interesting in the fact that they're very similar... just in the fact they're different eras of Shadow's life. As the story goes on it'll become increasingly clearer that OG Shadow is Shadow post-therapy, while Alt. Shadow is pre-therapy lmao. If OG Shadow were to come face to face with Alt. Shadow - OG Shadow wouldn't be seeing an alternate version of himself, but rather he'd be seeing the man he was in the past. I've also gotta give points to the Babylon Rogues being very similar to their original counterparts - but Jet's got *just* a little more maturity and different priorities that we will definitely be learning about in the upcoming arc. Amy is also similar despite the fact her personality has been muted and crushed down a bit due to well... everything. There's also someone else that is very similar to their counterpart that we actually haven't met yet ;) Thank you so much for the question anon! This was fun!

"Be sure to be careful, Knux. This guy I faced is seriously tough, he's unlike anything I have ever seen." Sonic spoke through the communicator as Knuckles made his way through the crowd at this silly party.
Many were used to the unusual in Green Hills, especially where Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were concerned. Which was convenient for them, considering they needed to stop Stone and this "Shadow."
"Do not fret, I will acquire what we need with honor and stealth." the echidna promised. Sonic was still healing from his last encounter with this mysterious hedgehog. It was best he rested.
Knuckle's violet eyes scanned the ballroom floor, searching for this dangerous hedgehog and the mad human that was allied with him.
A soft song began to play as Knuckles walked between people, politely excusing himself.
"Feel a feeling light Headed out to see the sights"
The song continued to play and Knuckles couldn't help but enjoy it. Earth music was different from what he was used to, but he liked it.
"Ain't life a many splendored thing?
"Duckin' up and out All those crazy sights and sounds Bounce around like puppets on a string."
What he didn't notice was that Stone and Shadow had entered the room. The human man seemed cocky while Shadow kept a neutral face as they walked and greeted the others there.
"No sign of the target yet." the echidna mumbled into the communicator. However, he was sure he would see them soon enough.
"Never gonna find Anything to change my mind Famous last lines of a fool."
A gasp from Tails through the communicator alerted Knuckles. "They're here and approaching you! Any minute now!"
At that, Knuckles readied himself and made his way to the center of the room.
"Just when do you think You're a chain with just one link Something comes to tip you off your stool"
Knuckles narrowed his eyes as he found them. And soon froze as his eyes landed on the hedgehog.
"Hello, hello My, my, my, what have we here? What a surprise What a surprise"
Holy Chaos and all seven of the Emeralds....
No one told the echidna that Shadow was BEAUTIFUL.The poor guy found himself unable to look away as Shadow strode with such confidence to the center of the room. The hedgehog stood in front of the window, arms crossed with the moon shining upon him.
"Uh, Knux? You there still?" Sonic asked, concerned.
"Hello, hello I'm not alone, it's good to know Someone's out there to say hello Hello"
Shadow locked eyes, ruby red meeting violet purple. Everything seemed to stop for a moment. The only sound that was registering was the sound of the echidna's heart rapidly beating.
As the ebony hedgehog locked eyes, a small smile came across his face. Causing a deep blush to appear on Knuckle's cheeks.
Before he could say anything, Shadow turned and walked off into the crowd and into the night.
But not before looking over his shoulder one last time at Knuckles, smiling still. Not an evil smile, but a kind smile.
Then Shadow and Stone were gone.
And Knuckles was left standing there, jaw agape. Sonic and Tails were basically shouting through the communicator, asking him if he was okay. Finally, the echidna snapped out of it, only to say this.
"You two didn't tell me that the warrior hedgehog was gorgeous!" he snapped. Then upon realizing what he said, he groaned.
There was a moment of stunned silence.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!" both of them screamed in disbelief. Knuckles sighed.
Yep, this could be a problem.
