Next thing he knew, he had run in and out of every shop. When he left the emporium, he had swapped out his golden mask for a pair of glasses, his cloak for a baggy red sweater with an "N" on it. His iconic shoes for blue boots with yellow at the tips, his black arm-length gloves for some oddly nostalgic white wrist-length gloves. He had even dyed his hair to make himself a brunette. His skin now had a layer of pink blush. He had gone through a complete makeover. And to suit this… he needed a new name. "Sonic… Nic… Nikki?" He thought on it. Sonic then shrugged. "Eh, why not?" He stuck the chip that was once the Tails Electric onto the inside of his glasses.

Sonic slammed the door to their house open, making Tails jump up in a ball. "Wow. That's a new record!" Tails exclaimed, as he and Zor looked up from the Tails Electric.

People shouted and grunted in annoyance as a ladybug girl shoved through the crowd. She was oddly dressed and appeared almost lifeless. She was wobbly, yet looked like she knew what she was doing. Bored yet intent on some kind of unknown goal. Tired at two in the afternoon. She looked about a year or three too young to be drinking, and it was a very formal kind of Tuesday. So everybody had to wonder what made her appear so careless as she made an unorthodox dance through the crowd. "Bitch!" Angry people shouted as they were pushed aside by the top-hatted ladybug girl. "Stupid animal! Go back to the petting zoo!" The humans in the crowd cried. This got them angry glances from the anthropomorphic individuals standing close enough to hear over the sounds of the city.

"Oh, heavens no!" Professor Pickle replied. "I get anxious when people watch me eat." Sonic nearly fell asleep after a few minutes, when he finally heard the guy step towards the door. "Alright then," Professor Pickle gasped as he finished the last sandwich. He opened the door, and wiped his face with a cloth. He had big bushy eyebrows that covered his eyes, a big nose, and white hair. "Sorry to leave you waiting… Oh my! There's so many of you! Well, do come in if you so please. I implore you to make yourselves at home."

They continued through the dimly-lit streets of Ccino. The warm light emanating from the old-fashioned buildings felt like a warm blanket as they staved off the cold air that smelled of brews and cocoa. The gravelly concrete road crunched under the group's footsteps, as they entered the university campus. In front of them was a huge academy. Tails looked around, before seeing Ata waving at them on top of the university's Solaris statue. Her hair looked neater than it was the last time Tails saw her. "Hey Tails! Hey Sonic! Hey Amy!" She cried, jumping up and down on the spherical metal sculpture with little concern for falling. Tails flew over to her.

Suddenly, a darkness was cast over the surrounding area. "Thank you for the lights, Zor!" A pretentious announcer voice exclaimed through some kind of crackly old filter. There was electro swing blaring in the background. Sonic looked up and saw a large, hexagonal float lower from one of the floating pieces of land above. There was a spotlight on the float. "Thank you everybody… for attending my show…!" Standing there, was a girl with a puffy afro and a sparkly black dress that went down to the float. On her face was a fancy white mask. In fact, she was entirely black and white. There was a straw-shaped horn poking out from her hair that made it look like a root beer float. "WELCOME TO… 'LIFE WILL CHANGE'!!!" She cried, enthusiastically. The rest of the Deadly Seven clapped.

Sonic went tumbling the other way, and saw a woman with green hair throwing a bomb resembling a snowman head in his direction. When it hit, he was trapped in cold, freezing… ice cream? Zeena looked down upon the frozen Sonic, with Sonic only able to stare at her as he felt his body go numb. "My my, would you look at that? I wish that was me. That would be delicious!" Zeena stated, as a hard chocolate shell formed around the ice cream. "Still, getting rid of you now will be that much sweeter." Suddenly, Sonic heard some kind of rocket being fired. It exploded, and broke through the chocolate shell. Zeena instantly jumped away as Sonic was caught in the blast and sent flying upwards. "Oh, what the heck, Zazz?! You coulda killed me!" Standing with one leg atop a rock, another member of the Deadly Seven was holding a rocket launcher. She was dressed like she was about to star in a rock concert. "I was gonna TAKE HIM TO THE BOSS while he was stuck in ICE CREAM or something. And you just tried to actually shoot him!" Zazz lowered the rocket launcher without a word. Sonic was caught by Tails midair.
