Leaping on rooftop to rooftop, racing across faces of buildings, Aleena the Hedgehog was at Westopolis in search for a certain family from the past. After discussing with Blaze and her mages, she was told that the potion to free Nico would take lots of time, especially as they do not know of the nature of this curse placed on her. Aleena then remembered that long ago, Mogul captured Sam Speed's daughter. For whatever reason, she can't remember, but she did 'spend some time' with Nico. Hopefully the bird mentioned her curse to her, for the kid has a way with Anthros/Mobians. Thanks to Fiona, Aleena learned Sam and his family were placed in a safe house here in the city.
"Uuugh...." In a man's life, he must be a gent to women he would accompany, as he would venture to a horrid place for men....the mall. "Are you guys finished?" "Oi, rude much? We're still browsing." Happily, she looked through the group of displayed clothes, in the fashion store. He would leave and hang in the video game store, but he was tasked to carry their bags.

The whole city, it was almost like the ones back in his timeline. Though there were some advance technology here and there, like holograms and even more advance robots than Scratch and Grounder, (he can't believe he honestly miss those tin-cans, he wonders if they're still around somehow). As he entered his apartment, he waved an envelope. "Hey, I got the papers for Helen's new school, she'll be starting this monday." At the window sill, the blonde woman had her arms crossed as she glared, looking into the city. He sighed, "C'mon Hun, don't be like that. We get a new fancy apartment, and there's no need to move like we always did back on 'Earth'." "Oh I'm not upset about that..." Slowly Madonna turn and glared at the man, "Why did you want our daughter to enroll in a PUBLIC school?! Why could it be that private human school I've just learned about?!" He sweated, backing off. "Honey... we've been over this, we can't hold those views, you remember what happened." Oh he knows she does, no way will she pretend not to about that monster. "SO!?!? Of course Helen shouldn't hate them but that doesn't mean she has to hang out with them!" Sam sighed as his wife began babbling. All he's doing was nodding his head, trying to tone her out. While the young girl sat out in the balcony, playing her dolls. Sighing as she heard her mom's voice. "I just hope the neighbors won't judge us..."
Meanwhile at the mall, a brown multiple quilled 'hedgehog' wander in silent.

And suddenly, the blonde woman was face to face with a familiar being, hanging outside-down, outside the window. "Hello."
Fuming, he marched down the halls, passing Tonic. "Where you going?" "I can't carry all this. I'm going to put them in the truck." and he walked off.

"GAH!!!! YOU SONOFA-" Madonna stumbled on the windowsill till she fell backwards int the apartment. "Aleena?!" Sam exclaimed as he rushed to pick up his wife. Out on the balcony, Helen beamed a smile at that name, and quickly crawled onto her wheelchair.
"Hmm?" Looking forward, he saw Rotor and the girls. He doesn't know much of them, but he has seem them on Flicky Island, friends of his 'kids' or at least acquaintances. "Hmmm..."

"Hi hi!" she cheerfully greeted, flipping into the window.
"...I keep tellin' him he should work out with me." she sighed. "Hang on, Barb; I gotta use the lil girls' restroom." she said, walking off.

Sitting up, she snarled. "WHO SAID YOU CAN ENTER MY HOUSE?!" "Madonna, please!" "HEY! IF THESE FUZZ-BALLS HAVE RIGHTS, THEN SHE CAN KNOCK ON THE DOOR LIKE A PERSON.... THEN I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SLAM IT ON HER FACE!!!" He sighed, "Sorry about these Aleena, she's still, well...." "Aleena!" Wheeling into the room, Helen rolled straight for the hedgehog. Seeing her daughter try to hug the hedgehog, Madonna tried to stop it but kept tumbling on her high heels, "Helen no! You don't know where its been!"
"Hey... you're friends with Sonic, right?"Right behind Rotor would be Tonic, and if they were outside, he would be strangely holding an umbrella despite it being a clear day.

"Not like I can carry anything, genius," she shrugged. "Heya kid. Mind if I can talk to you for a moment?"
And he wondered why he had that. "Uhh....yeah?"

Before she'll say a mouthful of cursing, Sam held her back. "Hey Honey, want t have some tequila?" Sam had a pleading look, holding up a bottle. "You uh.... you think you can do the chug-a-lug?" Sam rarely let her drink, he says she behaves even more reckless than usual (like she ever is). Oh, caught between he old favorite habit and Helen to say away from that spike-head. Her motherly instinct wants Helen's safety, but.... even she knows that Aleena would never let harm comes to the girl aaaand this might be the only chance Madonna can have some fun for a long time. Grabbing Aleena by her shirt, she pulled her to her eyes. "If a hair on her head is gone, I swear to god I'm going to ram one of my brooms right up your-" "Let's go Hun!" Sam grabbed his wife by the shoulder and pulled her into the bedroom leaving their daughter with a blank look on her face.
Oh boy, this feels a bit awkward, suddenly talking to someone you know little with. Leaning back, Tonic tried to act like his calm self. "So, uh.... what he and sibs are like... you know?"

"Such a motherly figure." she grinned.

"Uh.... what were their names again?" He snaps his fingers trying to recall, "Okay.... there's Sonic and the others.... um.... Manic and Sonia I think.... ( jeez Alee, why not give them all names that rhyme with each other?)"
She lightly giggled and turned to the hedgehog, "I can't believe you're still here! I thought I wouldn't see anyone from our time ever again!"

"Oh, uh...I don't know them that well. I just know Sonic by his rep. He is a world hero, after all."
"Well I'm still here....and sadly Mogul and his prehistoric cronies..."

"World hero, huh? That sounds cool, I guess." Tonic leans the car behind him...only to phase through. "WHOA!!!" Waving his arms around, he regain his balance. "I gotta remember not to do that! Anyway... I've got word that his birthday is coming up, right? Which I guess is the same as the other two too..."
Meanwhile back in the mall, Tiara was humming a tune as she stroll a cart through a store. Since the worlds have merged, she decided to see what items she can get from Mobius for her new home. Partially to help Manic feel at ease at living on a mystical, and mostly to see what gadgets she can't believe her world never had.
"Mo...gul?" Her eyes shivered at the mention of that name. Very giant and scary anthro. Before she always liked learning about prehistoric creatures and wanted to see one, but... mammoths have now been the last thing on her list since her little 'sleepover'.

"Yeah...sucks," she dryly began, "That all my enemies get a free pass to the future, while all my friends died... well except Nicki, but he paid a price." She really need to speak with the Oracle about all of that, now that she thought about it.
"........guh?!" Rotor just gawked how he just fell through the car. He seriously was thinking of running.

"Oooh.... so everyone else aren't here?" Helen said softly. Then she suddenly jolted back up, "You said 'prehistoric cronies'... does that mean Nico?"
"Uuuhhhh...." Okay, he's obviously spooking the kid. Things isbn't going smoothly, "Look, I'm trying to figure out what to get the kids for their birthday.... got any ideas for them and I'll be just on my way..."
Man, just when she was enjoying her day, the manx cat suddenly felt queasy and had to rush for the washroom. It was strange because she was sure she wasn't sick, but right now something wanted to crawl up her throat!

"Wha....kids?!" he spoke, just barely able to listen to through his shock.
"Yeah..." she sighed. "Nico. That's why I'm here. I know you spoke to her when you were kidnapped. Did she say anything about a curse she has?"
Stepping out of one of the stalls with a refreshed sensation, Mina noticed the girl looking sick.

"'Cuse me!" Tiara didn't mean to be rude, but she pushed Mina aside as she ran into the stall. The sounds of gagging then filled the restroom.
"Yeah... according to Alee, its Sonic and his siblings."
"Curse?" Helen thought for a moment, trying to think back. "My memory is fuzzy (especially after that trip through time) but if I recall..." A slightly younger Helen laid on the bed alone. Her wheelchair was taken away by that mammoth to make sure she doesn't run away. It felt really insulting. Thankfully that dinosaur woman, even though he's working for him, seems nice. She even allowed her to use her hut as a... well, for lack of a better term, 'prison'. Namely since she doesn't use it as often. It was pretty much pink, covered in lots of dolls and DVDs. Guess this Nico has a little dorky side to her.
Specking of which, the oviraptor was already here, giving Helen her daily meals. Sometimes they chat, sometimes small things like the toys around the room, other times its Helen's questions about what the dinosaur age was like. Then, there was one question Helen asked.
"Why do you listen to him?"
"Hmmm?" Nico hummed as she collected the plates.
"I know he's bigger and everything, but you can't let that mammoth bully you like that."
The oviraptor had a sad look and turned away. "You shouldn't talk like that around here... we're lucky he's letting us have this much liberty...."
Maybe, but Helen is too curious. Why is she working for Mogul? He doesn't seem very nice. "You can always run away, can't you?"
Nico sighed, "I disobeyed that hairy elephant one to many times.... but I still have my uses for him and that's why he keeps him."
She was silent.
"After a recent plot I aided against Mogul's orders.... he made sure I would stay in line and found a 'ironic punishment'."
".... Ironic punishment?"
She walked up to one of the DVDs, staring at the picture of some anime characters, namely a white hair boy with dog ears wearing a red feudal outfit with a japanese school girl holding an arrow. "After reading mind, seeing what I knew... he said since you like that show so much, I got the perfect 'gift' for you."
She never seen the show Nico was holding, but she can guess whatever happened to her wasn't good.
"There's a character here that works under the villains... she wanted to be free, but to make sure she stays under the main bad guy, he took her heart and would squeeze it whenever she disobeyed." Nico sighed, placing the DVD on the table and begins to walk out. "Honestly.... after how it ended for her, I'm afraid if he does give me back. Until I can get it back on my own.... I won't be free."
Before she can say a single word, the door was shut.
"And... that's all I can remember." Helen said, turning to Aleena, her eyes shaking. "You mean she's still not free yet?"

"No," she grimly growled. "He literally still has her heart. I saw it."
"So...you're...?"
".....huh?" she had no idea what just happened.

"Umm....a-are you....okay...?" she shyly asked.
"That's why I'm here. I know some mages that MIGHT be able to break that curse. But I'm hoping Mogul doesn't have some back-up spell that'll kill her if I free her. He does that."
"Wow...you're their father? But you gotta be....what....around my age? Um...unless being dead uh..." This stuff really escaped his head, yes.

"I... I think so..." Tiara gasped, splashing water on her face. Looking at her reflection, she looked a bit worn out, but sure she's not sick. Was it something she ate? No, nothing out of the ordinary...
Helen thought for a moment. "None that I know of. "
"Yeah, it confuses me too." Tonic shrugged, put his arms behind his head. "So anyway, you got any ideas for gifts or should I ask someone else?"

"Uhh...sorry, but I don't know them that well." he shrugged, heading over to his green truck.
".....uhh..." She wanted to suggest to head over to the nurse or something, but as always, she wasn't good with talking to strangers.
Shrugging, she figured there was nothing much but to give it a try without worry. But that will have to wait. "So, have you explored this new world? Or is your mom too afraid to step outside because she's afraid to get rabies?"

He shrugged, "Well, its a worth a shot asking. Thanks anyway kid." Tonic closed the umbrella. The moment he was out of the shade, he vanished.
After a few minutes, everything seem calm. Taking a deep breath, she stepped up. "Okay.... okay I think I'm-OOF!" She crouch down, feeling her belly. Was she going to throw up again? No, then she'll feel that icky crawling feeling in her throat, instead she felt something 'rolling' in her belly.
"Well, no..." Helen sighed as she looked out the window. "I only got to see parts of this city, which does seem nice." It was like the cities she grew up in, only human and anthros could live together peacefully. "The only other places I've been at was that base and that island full of junk (which seemed cool though, but the visit was short there)."

".......Sally, you attract weird stuff like a magnet..." Trying to forget that, he went back into his truck.
"......" Maybe she ate something in the food court. Some of their food can be poisonous.
"Well how about I give you a tour around some places?" she smiled.

She smiled from ear to ear, "Okay!"
Its like there's something inside her. The thought of which is scaring her. She hopes its not a bug! Did something happen these past few days that might made her feel this way? Like, some alien parasite? She hopes not... "Oof!" Tiara groaned at that, it felt like a kick. Wait... Tiara's eyes widened open at that thought. Something DID happen, just yesterday, right after they stopped Westside Island from falling. Frantic, Tiara grabs her pursed and looked through it. There was a few things she remembers her mom telling a woman should always carry before she passed on. Once the manx found what she was looking for, she rushed back into a stall. "'Cuse me for a moment."

Grabbing the handles of Helen's wheelchair, she pulled out her gray emerald, "CHAOS CONTROL!!" And ported off with her in a flash of light. ....was that a....?!
