Completion and Catastrophe - Back In Time for Acey
------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------
Acey Prower. A 17-year old fox. And a pretty one at that. She had inherited genes from both her parents. A natural curiosity (not to mention an above-average IQ) from her dad, Miles better known as Tails, Sonic's "sidekick" and best friend, and stunning good looks from her mother, former government spy, Rouge The Bat. Just like her father, she was a great inventor. She has built her share of mechanical marvels. But nothing was to compare to the machine her father was now completing in his lab.
------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------
"It's finally finished! Now all I need is one more Chaos Emerald! It should be arriving any day now!" Tails told his wife Rouge. "That's great but what the hell are you gonna test it on?" "I'll do it" replied a voice from the door. Tails and Rouge spun around to face the voice. There standing at the door to the lab was their daughter, Acey. "Are you kidding? Absolutely not! Who knows--"
"Ding-dong" Just then their fight was interrupted by the doorbell.
"Dad, there's a package for you! I'll sign for it!" Acey scribbled her signature, took the package and brought it to the lab.
"You'll probably need this" Acey said, pulling an exacto knife (that she took from the kitchen) from her pocket. Tails took the package, cut it open, and smiled as he eyed the contents. There sitting in a pile of packing peanuts (A/N: those little white things they stuff in boxes. Don't blame me, that's what they are called!) was the final Chaos Emerald needed to power his machine. "Wow, what a beautiful jewel", Rouge exclaimed as Tails lifted the jewel for the rooms occupants to see. Had it been fifteen years earlier, she would have grabbed the emerald and run. But being married to Tails had made her sort of a softie, although she would never admit it to anybody. Not only that, but with the birth of their daughter, she thought it would be best for her to stick around to watch her grow up. Tails had also changed a lot in the time since he married Rouge. He sparred with her often, and was now a competent fighter. That coupled with his machines made him a force to be reckoned with.
"A jewel with infinite power..." Acey mused to herself remembering the stories that her father had told her about the Chaos Emeralds. As she looked at the gleaming jewel in front of her, she remembered Knuckles, the guardian of the Master Emerald, which was kept on floating Angel Island. For somebody who stays on an floating island all day by himself, she was surprised at how warmly he had treated her the first time they met. And of course, who could forget Sonic, the hedgehog who saved the world many times over. Acey, just like every other girl in Station Square, wanted to go out with Sonic. But every time he was asked, he turned them down, even though it was pretty well known that Sonic already had a girlfriend, Amy Rose. When she thought of Amy, she thought of the luckiest being in all of Station Square. She sighed at the mere thought of Sonic, and decided at that moment that she was content just being friends.
"Even though we have all seven Chaos Emeralds, we still need to wait a week before the time machine is fully powered up." Her father's chatter brought Acey back to reality. Acey skimmed over the schematics to the time machine, her father's genes kicking in. "Can I make a copy of these schematics?" "Sure honey, go ahead." A couple of seconds of silence ensued before it was broken. "Dad, I'm still willing to be the guinea pig for your time machine. I mean it would be fun to go back in time to relive some of yours and Sonic's adventures" Acey said looking at her shoes, unable to match her father's piercing blue eyes. "I understand, but I don't know what I'd do without you. We still have a week to decide. I'm sure we will come up with a reasonable decision by then."
---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Did you send the fake emerald?" a figure shrouded in shadow barked to his lackey. "Yes sir! It should be arriving any day." the lackey replied. "Tails thinks he the only one who can make a fake Emerald! Hah! When we take away his most precious possession, we shall see who will win the battle of wills! And then I will finally have my revenge on my poor sister!
--------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
The week went by faster than anybody could have expected. To Acey, it was the most exciting day of her life. The week though, for Tails and Rouge seemed like a lifetime, because they knew nothing would stop their daughter from stepping into that machine. They had tried several times to persuade to not to do this, but in the end, the caved in and let her go.
"Now this is important. We have decided to send you back twenty years into the past, to just a little bit before the whole ARK incident. The timer is set for one hour. That means that after one hour, you will be transported back to the lab. Since you haven't been born yet, and me and your mom aren't married nobody will recognize you, so that won't be a problem. Other than that, you're ready to go. Please be careful. I don't know what would happen to me and your mother if we lost you. I know this is a stupid question, but are you sure you want to do this?" A nod was his only reply as Acey stepped into the machine. "Oh, before I forget, you can use this watch to communicate with us at the lab. If you press this button, you can see how much time is remaining.

As soon as the countdown reached zero, the machine let out a violent eruption. "What the hell is happening?" was the thought on Tails and Rouge's mind. When the dust cleared, Acey was no where to be found. Tails ran over to his computer to check the surveillance video. "There's good news and bad news" Tails told his wife, as he looked up from the computer. "The good news is that Acey was transported before the explosion. The bad news is that now the machine is totally decimated, and she can't get back. But thankfully, the Chaos Emeralds survived intact. *Luckily, she has those schematics.* Suddenly, Tails found himself stunned, his cheek hurting where Rouge had slapped him. Suddenly, as though some unknown force called them both, Rouge and Tails collapsed and began crying right there on the floor of the lab.
"What if <sob> we never <sob> see <sob> her again?", as Rouge started to wail uncontrollably into her husbands chest.
"Don't <sob> worry, <sob> she's smart <sob> she'll figure a <sob> way back home. *I hope*"
