Ooh! Such spoopy! Cannot handle!

A Sonic.exe "improved" fanfic

One day, a young lady named Josephine bought a Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge for the Sega Genesis. She had bought it from a garage sale, and the owners practically gave it to her for free. She wondered why, since it seemed to be in such good condition, but who could pass up a cheap video game? Especially one of Sonic?

The next day, she had gotten home from school, and squealed in delight as she put her backpack down, and quickly grabbed the Genesis game.
She put the cartridge in, and turned on the console.
The screen turned on, and then a flood of nostalgia hit Josephine.

She remembered having the DS port of the Sonic the Hedgehog classic collection, and she remembered begging her parents to get a Sega Genesis for Christmas. On Christmas, her parents had complied to her constant requests, and had finally gotten a Sega Genesis of her very own.

Josephine shook her head, and remembered that she was going to play the game, not think about the past right then.

The SEGA jingle played just as it should, and the opening screen with Sonic's theme played just fine. Josephine was thrilled that the game was up and running, and it seemed that there were no errors or glitches yet.

She pressed the start button, and Sonic was then sent to the Green Hill Zone. The music was amazing as usual, and the sprites were still fantastic. "No changes here!" Josephine thought to herself, smiling with pure joy in her eyes.

She was on quite a roll, until she hit an enemy. Sonic made a small yelping noise when he hit, and he seemed to have got a small red spot on his sprite, as if he got cut up a little.

Josephine was shocked. She didn't remember this happening in the game. She still had all her rings, so why didn't they just shoot out of Sonic? Why did he get hurt?
However, even though this was weird, she decided to shrug it off. She was curious as to what would happen next, as she then decided that someone must have messed with the cartridge.
"Might as well see what happens before I return it." She said to herself.

She then finished the level without getting any more damage.
"Next zone. Sweet!" she exclaimed with a small fist pump in the air.
"I didn't think I would finish that level so fast!" She continued.

The next zone, being Marble Zone, started, but she then realized that Sonic still had that "cut" on him from earlier. As she looked at the sprite again, another enemy bumped into Sonic while she wasn't paying attention.

This time, Sonic yelled louder this time, and his "cut" grew larger.

"Hm... I wonder what happens if I keep getting hurt? Will I just be (sort of) invincible, or do I die at two hits?" She questioned, wondering what would happen if Sonic took damage once more.

So, she ran Sonic into an enemy again, on purpose this time.
Sonic yelled loudly, "AGH! Hey, Josie! Stop making me get hurt!"

"What?" said Josephine in surprise. "How did it know my name? And why did it give me a nickname?"
"I know a lot of things, pal. And I'm not an "it". I'm a he, thank you very much. So, if you please, would you stop killing me?" Sonic replied smugly (yet still in a bit of pain).
"What is going on?! Is this some sick, twisted dream?!" she asked loudly.
Sonic did not reply this time. Those were rhetorical questions, anyway.

Josephine was in extreme shock, but still decided to keep going. There was an aching feeling in her gut that wanted her to keep playing, even though her brain and common sense did not want her to.

Either ways, she avoided as many of Dr. Robotnik's minions as much as possible.
"Okay. On to the next zone...! Yay!...?" She said, unsure of herself of whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
