Sonic, Sonia, and Manic settled down on the hill and stared up at the night sky.



The meteor shower had just started.



"Whoa, you were right, sis." Sonic said. "This is way past cool."



"It's beautiful." Manic said.



Sonia pointed to a large meteor, streaking across the sky. "That one looks like it's pretty close."



The siblings stood up.



Sonic grabbed his siblings' hands in case they had to run away from an incoming meteor.



The meteor soared over their heads and landed several feet away. The ground shook from the impact.



The siblings ran over to the crater.



The large meteor looked almost like a giant amber stone.



Sonia texted Tails their coordinates so he could study the meteor.





Sonic and Manic climbed into the crater to get a closer look.





"It kinda makes me think of that Duck Dodgers episode where they found those giant crystals." Manic said.



Sonic laughed.



Sonia looked up. "Guys, get out of there. That thing could be irradiated." She said, "Wait for Tails to come and investigate it."



"If it was irradiated, we'd be dead already." Sonic replied.



Manic nodded in agreement.



Sonia rolled her eyes. "Like you would know."



Manic slapped his hand on the meteor. "I'm touching it, Sonia."



"It's not funny, Manic." Sonia said.



Sonic smirked and touched the meteor. "Look, I-"



Suddenly, a wave of light flashed and the sound of electricity crackling came from the meteor.



Sonia shielded her eyes.



After the light died out, Sonia looked at the crater.



Manic and Sonic were lying beside the meteor; both of them were unconscious.



Sonia screamed and rushed over to them.



Tails flew over. "Sonia, what happened?"



"They touched the stupid meteor." Sonia said, checking Sonic's pulse. "There was this blinding flash of light and a lot of noise and they collapsed. He's alive."



Manic moaned softly.



"So's Manic." Sonia said.



Tails checked the rock for radiation. "There's an unusual signal coming from it, but it's not a biohazard." He said. "That's weird."



"Help me get them out." Sonia said, picking up Manic.



Tails picked up Sonic.

Manic rubbed his head and groaned as he sat up. He noticed… himself sitting up and rubbing his head. "Well, this is a weird dream."



Manic sat there with his brow furrowed as the "other him" screamed. "What?"



Now that he was more awake, Manic looked down and noticed that he was in Sonic's body.



"The heck?" Manic asked.



"That stupid rock!" Sonic yelled. "We should've listened to Sonia."



Manic nodded. "Well… I guess it could be worse."



Sonic looked at Manic incredulously. "Worse?! How could it be worse?"



"One of us could've swapped bodies with Sonia." Manic replied. "At least we're in a guy's body."



"True." Sonic said, sitting down.



"It won't be so bad if it can't be reversed." Manic said.



"It has to be reversed." Sonic replied. "I have a date on Friday night."



"You can still go." Manic said.



"I'm in your body." Sonic replied. "It'll look like Sally's cheating on me."



"Well, I can't cover for you because she kinda would be." Manic said. "How does that work if it's irreversible?"



Sonic groaned and flopped back on the bed.



Manic smirked. "Say, I have your speed."



"So?" Sonic asked.



Manic raced out of the room. "This is awesome!"



Sonia noticed Manic in Sonic's body racing by.



"I guess there were no ill effects." Sonia said.



Manic slammed into the living room wall. "Ugh… how does he do it?"



"You okay?" Sonia asked.



"This is bogus." Manic muttered. He walked over to the couch, rubbing his head. "I guess he's had years of practice."



Sonia tilted her head to the side. "Wait. Manic?"



"Yeah." Manic said, flopping down on the couch. "We swapped bodies."



"Tails is studying the meteor." Sonia replied. "Hopefully, he can cure you two."



"Bummer Majores!" Sonic yelled. He ran in at Manic's top speed. "You're too slow, Manic."



"You're way too fast, bro." Manic replied. "I nearly got a concussion… or gave you one. I don't know; this is so confusing."



"Don't worry, Sonic, I was just telling Manic that Tails is working on a cure." Sonia said.



"That's a relief." Sonic replied. He sat down in their recliner and propped his head up with his fist. "Well, Sal is out of town and doesn't have cell phone service where she is, so I guess I can hold off on explaining for a while."



Manic reached over and patted Sonic on the back. "Tails is a smart guy, I'm sure he'll get it figured out soon."
