You Just Got Punked!

Friday Morning:

Spending a week- long binge watching reruns on TV, Sonic was suffering from a dreaded, almost incurable disease that cannot be avoided. No matter how many movies he watched on pay-per-view, he frequently found himself experiencing mind-numbing boredom. He had no opportunity to use his brain for any purpose other than mindlessly watch television after repeated bombardment of advertisements from media corporations. He would often find himself searching for another TV program without any desire to change the channel; it was as if his hand had a mind of its own. The day before, Sonic had spent two hours franticly searching for the remote, only to find that he had simply placed it on the coffee table after getting a snack. Finally, he decided that he was not going to spend the rest of his life watching TV. Sonic felt victorious after he pressed the "off" button on the remote control.

In his moment of glory, Sonic decided that he had to tell someone that he had cured himself of his boredom. He chose to call Silver; he knew that he had nothing better to do other than watching videos on the Internet and send text messages. Pressing the number 2 on his cell phone, he waited for Silver to pick up the phone. Sonic heard the sound of Silver's sleepy voice on the other end of the line.

Silver said, "Sonic, it's freaking two o'clock in the morning. What in God's name do you want?"

Sonic was surprised; "It can't be two o'clock in the morning! It was three in the afternoon when I first started watching television!"

Silver asked with an annoyed tone, "Well, how long have you been watching TV?"

"Only since last Friday…wait! I meant since three, why?"

There was silence on the other end of the line. After several long, arduous moments, Silver finally asked, "Sonic, do you mean to tell me that you've spent an entire week sitting on your butt watching television?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry; I had no clue it was that early in the morning." Sonic said with an apologetic tone in his voice.

"I'd figure you would pull something that stupid. I'm hanging up now, and the next time you try to call me, take a long look at the clock on your wall before you even think about calling me." Silver said, more than upset that Sonic would make such a dumb decision. "Hey, who am I 

kidding? This is Sonic I'm talking about; he's a complete idiot," he thought to himself. He was about to hang up the phone when Sonic called out over the phone line.

"Wait! Don't hang up just yet! Let me make it up to you! Give me a chance to redeem myself," pleaded Sonic.

"Do you really want to redeem yourself, Sonic?" Silver asked.

"Yeah, I really want to redeem myself." Sonic replied.

"Okay, here's how you can make it up to me: I want you to wire me two hundred dollars for me to spend on lattes and hang up the phone right now. Is that understood?" Silver stated flatly.

"There is no way in God's good green earth that you would ever get two hundred dollars out of me! I don't even have that much money in my bank account, let alone enough money to buy you even one latte! Please let me make it up to you in another way!" Sonic was pleading desperately at this point.

"Sorry, that's the condition. I can't help the fact that you are irresponsible when it comes to finances. If there's no spending money, then I won't accept your apology." Silver said without any remorse. He was about to hang up the phone for a second time when Sonic called out over the phone line again.

"Please don't hang up! I have a good idea about how I can redeem myself. Just hear me out, okay?"

"Okay, I'm just dying to hear what you have to say." Silver said sarcastically.

"Oh thanks, that makes me feel so much better." Sonic retorted with equal sarcasm. He quickly decided to avert Silver's attention; otherwise, he most likely would never hear the end of this conversation. "How about we punk Shadow and post the video on the Internet? It would be absolutely hilarious, and we might have one of the most popular video clips ever produced!"

"What makes you think I want to make Shadow look like an idiot on the Internet?" Silver asked.

"Remember that nice laptop that you bought yourself for Christmas last year?" Sonic replied with his own question.

"Yeah, I had to spend almost three hundred dollars to have that thing fixed. Why do you ask?" said Silver.

"Well, you can thank Shadow for that; he tied your computer to a tree and used it as target practice," replied Sonic.

"WHAT?!" Silver shouted over the phone.

Sonic replied, "Yeah, and he also hit it several times with a hammer in a fit of rage."

There was a long silence over the phone line as Silver seethed with rage. "Shadow…must…PAY!!"



Realizing that his plan was working, Sonic quickly added, "By the way, did I mention that Shadow has a 100,000 dollar bright red Ferrari and that he's taking Amy out on a date tonight to Club Rouge?"

"Now that you mention it," Silver said with a dark, evil tone in his voice, "you never told me about his Ferrari."

"So, what are you going to do about it?" Sonic taunted him.

"I'm going to punk Shadow, and you're going to help me. You're going to use the camera on my cell phone. Meet me at Club Rouge at eight o'clock tonight." Silver said with the evil tone still in his voice.

"Okay, I'll see you then." Sonic hung up the phone and thought to himself, "Did I push Silver over the edge when I told him what happened to his laptop? Nah, a little bit of revenge might do him some good."

Later that night:

It was approximately 8:30 that night when Silver pulled into the parking lot of a convenience store about two blocks away from Club Rouge. As he walked through the silent streets, he could hear the sound of loud music as he came nearer to the club. He saw Sonic standing among the crowd of people outside waiting to get inside. Silver came up to him and pulled him out of the crowd.

"Hey! What's your problem? I thought we were going to punk Shadow while he was on a date inside the club!" Sonic said angrily.

Silver asked, "Sonic, do you see these cans of spray paint in my hand?" He held two cans of spray paint in his hands.

"Yeah, why does that matter?" replied Sonic.

"Do you also see those two kids walking up to us?" Silver asked again.

Sonic replied, "Yeah, and your point is…?" Sure enough, two kids were walking right up to them. One of them was a tall fox wearing a black baseball cap. The other one was short ferret with a gold chain around his neck.

"Make sure you get this on film," said Silver as he walked up to the kids, thrusting his cell phone into Sonic's hands. They were about to walk across the street when Silver called out, "Hey, do you want to earn twenty bucks?"

When the kids heard this, they ran up to Silver. The fox asked, "Twenty bucks a piece, or just for the both of us?"

He replied, "You're both going to get twenty bucks. I want you to spray paint that red Ferrari in the parking lot of that club. Make sure that you get paint everywhere; on the tires, windows, and doors; make sure that no space is left unsprayed."



"How do we know that you're going to pay us our money to spray that car?" asked the ferret boy.

"I'll give you each your twenty dollars, but you've got to cover that car in as much spray paint as possible, understood?" replied Silver.

The kids yelled out, "Thanks mister!" as they took off to the parking lot of Club Rouge. They immediately spotted Shadow's car among the rest of the other vehicles in the parking lot. Paint spewed out of the cans as the kids covered the car in garish blue and green colors. As they were vandalizing Shadow's car, Sonic held the cell phone high in the air, making sure that he didn't miss anything; if this was going to be successful, he had to make sure that every single detail was included.

At that moment, Shadow walked out of Club Rouge, holding Amy's hand as he tried to find his car. Silver had already found a hiding place behind a pile of boxes; Sonic hid behind an old Lincoln Navigator in the parking lot, capturing the events that unfolded with the cell phone camera. Shadow's jaw dropped as he saw what the kids were doing to his brand new car.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. "That's a 100,000 dollar car you're spraying, and you're not even doing a good job either!! I'm going to sue you and your parents and make sure that both of you spend the rest of your life in jail!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

While Shadow was ranting and raving about the vandalism of his car, Amy was extremely mortified; she had never heard him speak, let alone shout, with that tone of voice. "I can't believe that you would yell at them like that, Shadow! They're just little kids!"

"Do you think that I'm supposed to care about that?! Look at what they've done to my car!!" Shadow was still in a shouting frenzy.

"Oh, so I guess that means that you would care more about your stupid car than to have a nice evening with me, is that right? I'm breaking up with you, Shadow, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

"WHAT?! You're breaking up with me?!" Shadow was even more enraged. Sonic could actually make out a blood vessel that was forming on Shadow's head.

"You heard me! You care more about that car than you do spending time with me! I'm breaking up with you, and that's final!" After she said this, she left in a righteous anger, leaving him standing in the parking lot. The kids took off, for fear that something bad might happen to them.

Seeing that this prank was getting out of hand, Sonic jumped out from behind the Lincoln and shouted, "Hey, Shadow, you just got punked!"

Silver also came over to Shadow's car and said, "That's right, you've been severely punked! After what you did to my laptop, I thought it was time for some sweet revenge. How does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine, Shadow?"

Sonic saw that two more blood vessels had appeared on Shadow's forehead. He said nervously, "Uh, Silver, I think that now is the perfect time to leave. Don't you?"



Silver replied, "Yeah, I need to help you upload that video file from my phone." He had also seen the blood vessels that were starting to increase in number.

Suddenly, Sonic saw a taxi come down the street and hurriedly hailed it down. Silver and Sonic barely managed to shut the car door just as Shadow began to run after them.

Feeling disappointed that they had gotten away, Shadow consoled himself with only one thought: "Revenge is mine, and I shall have it."
