A/N Hiyaz. I thought I'd take a break from romance and write some funny stuff. DISCLAIMER: I own no one but Carmen. No stealing. For the duration of my story, I'm giving Tails a watch. And that's all. Oh yeah, taking a tip from my friend Edge, Sonic is getting more lines. Ok, enjoy the story.
Boredom
It was a calm, clear morning in Knothole Village. The sky was a gentle shade of blue, nearly cloudless, and it promised to be a wonderful day. All of the Freedom Fighters were quite tired from recent battles; although on this particular morning, another sort of battle was being waged.
7:30 a.m.
" Please, Sonic?" Tails' voice.
" No." An extremely annoyed blue hedgehog.
" Come on, we're bored. You're being mean!" Carmen.
" Forget it." Sonic grumbled. He had been in the middle of a wonderful dream about Sally and a 50- foot tower of chilidogs, before he had been jostled out slumber. The two youngest members of the village were demanding that he take them on an adventure.
" We've been doing nothing for days. I'm getting cabin fever," Carmen whined as she tugged at Sonic's glove.
" You're not even in a cabin," Sonic pointed out matter of factly.
" Hut fever then." Sonic pulled his glove out of Carmen's hand and rolled over, only to face Tails.
" If you don't want to take us anywhere, then let us go alone. Carmen and I can take care of ourselves." Tails countered. Sonic groaned and stuffed the pillow over his ears, trying to drown out the sound of Carmen who was saying 'please' in the loudest, most annoying voice that she could possibly muster.
" ALL RIGHT!!!" Sonic had finally had enough. " Go have fun. Anything," he begged. "just get out of my room." The kids slapped each other hi-fives and headed out.
" And don't slam the-" WHAM. " Door." Sonic rolled his eyes and settled back down to sleep. Finally, some peace.
Outside Sonic's hut, Tails hit the timer button on his stopwatch.
" How long did he last?"
" Not even 45 seconds."
" Wimp."
8:30 a.m.
They were getting bored again. Tails had been throwing rocks at Carmen so she could use them for target practice. The fun in that ended when she accidentally hit him, instead of the target. It took him a good fifteen minutes to chip the ice off his tail. But now they truly admitted that they had run out of things to do.
" What should we do now, Tails?" Carmen asked while gently swinging from a tree. Tails hovered over and pulled her up to sit next to him.
"Well, Knuckles is out treasure hunting, but I don't know where. Amy would probably kill us if we bothered her on her vacation." Carmen nodded to this and paused in deep thought. Suddenly she burst out with an idea.
"Hey! I know where we can go!" She hopped down from the tree and did a small cartwheel. Tails suddenly knew what she was talking about.
"That's a great idea! Lets go."
8: 35 a.m.
Ding-dong. "Hey doc," Carmen said cordially. Robotnik looked confused as to what the two were doing on his doorstep. "Everyone in the village is being mean and they won't take us anywhere. I was wondering if me and Tails could hang with you."
Robotnik considered this. He was bored with world domination, and there was nothing good on TV. "What the heck? Come in."
