A beautifully rotten day at Dr. Eggman's base, it was. Just how he liked it. Even though everyone he knew always lectured him on how he really use his days before their "sell by" date, Eggman just preferred his days after they rot, for some strange reason. Maybe he thinks days just get better with age, similar to wine, and he doesn't decide to use them until around 23 hours and 58 minutes into it. That sounds like Summer Vacation! It could explain why it takes him around three years to execute another plot to destroy that pesky blue hedgehog, only to have it ultimately fail by the hedgehog's simple offensive maneuvers.

BUT ANYWAY, Eggman was at work with another plot that could only take out Sonic with a miracle. And that miracle would take a miracle to happen. Though this time, he let some of his "smarter" robots share with him any ideas they had.

"We could get a big elephant," one Egg Pawn suggested, "and have it step on stuff."

Eggman took some half-moments to consider that. "No penny for that thought." The doctor proceeded to press an oversized red button, and a trapdoor opened beneath the pawn's feet, and it plummeted downward (like the pawn would go any other direction). "You all are boring me to death!" Eggman told his robots. "Can't any of you think of something that's not ridiculous or that hasn't been done before?"

"How 'bout you take that girl out there as a hostage?" Suggested a Motobug, while doing its best to point out a nearby window at a familiar pink hedgehog wearing a red dress and picking flowers.

Dr. Eggman thought about that one. "PERFECT!" He shouted as he jumped up from his seat. "That's genius!"

"Really!" The Motobug replied giddily while jumping up and down slightly.

"No. In fact, that might just be the most cliche one I've heard all day." Eggman took out a rather large nail, walked over to the Motobug, and shoved it in its tire. The tire quickly deflated, and the Motobug let out an annoyed sigh.

After he finished with that, he watched Amy Rose outside his window. "I didn't know flowers could even grow here."

"Well those landscaping robots you built the other day are doing a very good job, sir." Piped up Orbot, who was hovering next to Eggman.

". . .Right."

"I'm colorblind." An Egg Rounder informed everyone.

There as a pause. A silence that was awkward, to be specific.

". . .YOU DON'T SAY!" A Kiki commented finally.

"What I mean by that is I can't really see the flowers. They just blend in with the rest of the scene, and-"

"Stay on topic everyone!" Dr. Eggman reminded all his badniks. "Rounder, you can write your little. . .poem. . .things later."

The Egg Rounder stopped speaking aloud. The Doctor thinks I'm a poet? He thought. I'm very surprised he know-ed it!

"Erm, your thoughts leak out of your head." Eggman notified him. "And that's not poetry. This is poetry!" Eggman stood up once more and was just about to speak beautiful literature, when he realized he really should get back on coming up with a plan to obliterate Sonic. "Well, actually, I'll share it with you all later."

The majority of the robots sighed in relief as they took their graspers, or whatever appendages they had, off their audio receptors.

"You know," Eggman continued. "I just happened to think that last plot proposal over. I just might go through with that one!"

"Really?" The Motobug's face lit up.

"Yes, really! I'm glad I thought of it! I'll have to give myself a PRRROMOTION!" With that, golden letters which spelled 'promotion' appeared above Eggman's head. He grabbed the word, turned it into a medal, and pinned it on his coat.

The Motobug sighed again as it hung its head in shame.

"Okay, let's see." The evil scientist looked around the room for a robot appropriate for capturing Amy. "You!" He pointed at an EggRobo. "Get your men together and bring me that pink hedgehog. Non-lethal attacks only!"

"I Roger!" It saluted. The EggRobo walked out of the room and hollered at other EggRobos. "ATTENTION! FORM UP AND LETS BRING DOCTOR THAT PINK HEDGEHOG! NON-LETHAL ATTACKS ONLY!"

"AFFIRMATIVE!" They shouted back as they took off using their jet packs.

Eggman scratched his shiny head. "I suppose I could have done that."

"YOU DON'T SAY!" The Kiki shouted again.

"Quiet you!"

Withing moments, about ten EggRobos could be seen outside the window as they surrounded Amy outside the window. The pink hedgehog nearly lost her balance in shock, but instinctively swing her trademark mallet at one of the EggRobos. The badnik she hit practically exploded and shrapnel sprayed all over the window, and shattered most of it.

Another EggRobo zapped Amy with an electrical charge, which stunned her.

"Huzzah!" Eggman shouted in glee. "And now that she's ours, we need to let Sonic know."

"Wait, why do we need to let Sonic know about this?" The Motobug questioned. "Why don't we just keep the pink hedgehog secretly so that everyone thinks she was mysteriously kidnapped. We would get away with something evil, at least!"

"Well, that would just be no fun now, would it?"

"Just suggesting. You know, this was all my idea in the first place."

"You mean it was my idea!"

"That's exactly what I said!"

"Oh, whatever." Eggman turned around and proceeded to walk into another chamber in his base. "Bokkun! Message time! And someone fix this window!"
