My Little Hedgehog: Redux

Arrival (New)

"Ah, my head! S-Sonic?! Are you ok? Where are you?!", she shouted. Waking up in a dazed state, she tilted her head around on the spot, desperately trying to find her comrade. Her vision was blurry and her mind was muddled and confused, but the blue hedgehog was the last thing she saw without question. "Whe-where am I?", she asked herself. She looked around some more, rubbing her eyes. She was stuck in what appeared to be an dark alleyway, with the blue sky barely lighting up the walls. Everything looked different for some reason, but she couldn't say why. She got up off the cold ground and looked beyond the exit. What she saw struck her by surprise. Several 4 legged creatures walked past, not taking notice of the strange female in the alley.

"Are those...ponies?", she asked herself. She took note of them all. Some were big, some were small, but they were the last thing she needed to worry about. She had to find out where on Earth she was.

If she was on Earth that is.

She looked around the area, spotting a large discarded cloak, left against the wall. "Perfect", she whispered, picking up the cloak. It was surprisingly clean, considering the location.

"They could be dangerous for all I know, I need to stay hidden" she said quietly. She threw the cloak over her body, shadowing her face. Now vaguely disguised, she leapt up off the ground and onto the roof of the building next to her in one jump, tiny flames coming off her feet as she jumped. Kneeling on the rooftop, she looked over the edge of the building and too her surprise, nobody spotted her. She kept low as she gazed over the entirety of the town she found herself in. It was colorful and bursting with life. She had to stop herself from letting a soft 'woah' escape her mouth. She quickly made the deduction that she was no longer in her own universe, but another one entirely. Wasn't even Sonic's either.

That's when her memory began to return, only slightly.

"...The Sol Emeralds...he has....I must.........what is that?!...Run! Sonic, run!"

"The emeralds...I have to find them, now! But...where?", she thought to herself. She spotted two ponies chatting with one and other. Hoping to find some clues, she listened in eagerly.

"...urgh, I dunno. It seems that whenever I get the opportunity to go somewhere nice and fancy, my dress sucks. I guess it's one of those things that only look nice once, right?", spoke an aqua pegasus. She was speaking with a faint yellow pony. She couldn't help but be bewildered by the latter pony's mane.

"Have you spoke to Rarity at the boutique? I'm sure she'll help you out. I mean, she got all sort of awesome designs. Maybe she'll fix you up with some gemstones as well!", the other replied.

"Gemstones, huh? Sounds like a safe bet", she thought quietly. She looked around the town from her viewpoint, taking notes of the various buildings that surrounded her. "Now, if I owned a boutique, what would it look like?...", she asked herself. Immediately, she took note of a large, white, extravagant building, with mannequins in the window. She sighed to herself. "You couldn't make it any easier for me, could you?", she noted, "I'll visit you, Rarity, under the cover of night. I'd be too obvious right now", she noted. She sat on the rooftop and silently watched the strange townspeople go by.
