-Hazard Island-
"Ok, is everyone here?" Tails asked.
Everyone was sitting on the beach in front of the youthful fox as he brought the emergency meeting to order. Sonic still looked kind of freaked out, so Amy sat next to him, comforting him whenever he appeared frightened.
"We're all here, Tails," Rouge answered. "Right, Knuckie?"
Knuckles muzzle turned scarlet. "I told you to stop calling me that, Batgirl!"
"I will, once you start calling me by my name."
"Fine," he glowered. "Rrrrrrrro-ouge."
"That's better, Knuckie."
"That's KNUCKLES! My name is KNUCKLES! N-U-K-L-E-S!"
Rouge and Amy giggled at his stupidity. Cream looked confused.
"Um, isn't it K-N-U-C-K-L-E-S?" she asked respectfully.
Rouge burst out laughing. "Omg, Knux! A six year old can spell better than you!"
Knuckles face turned as red as his fur with embarrassment. "At least she called me by a better nickname…," he muttered under his breath.
"AHEM," Tails coughed. "Are you quite finished?"
"Yep," Rouge snickered.
"Okay then. I've called you all here because of the problem we've been having lately."
"What problem?" Knuckles asked. Amy smacked her forehead with the palm of her gloved hand.
"Well, you see, this island is dangerous. Or, dare I say, haunted."
"That's right," Amy agreed. "Just an hour ago, Sonic and Tails entered the forest and came out absolutely petrified."
"In fact," Rouge added. "Sonic wouldn't have left if we hadn't gone in and rescued him. He probably would have ended up like the other hideous carcasses in there."
"Exactly," Tails said, nodding his head. "And that's why we have to vacate the premises immediately."
"Wait a minute," Cream burst out. "Didn't the plane leave yesterday? Doesn't that mean there's no way to leave?"
"That's a good point, Cream," Tails concurred. "So I guess we have two options."
"Which are?" Knuckles asked.
"We either swim for our lives, or we stay and wait until the airplane comes back."
"How long will that be?"
"Two weeks at the most."
"TWO WEEKS?" everyone gasped. That was far too long! They would all be dead after the first day, how could they survive a fortnight?
"We'll be extinct by the end of the night!" Sonic wailed. "We can't possibly wait that long."
"Well, it's either that, or we encounter the Pacific Ocean."
Sonic gulped. Since he didn't know how to swim, he would certainly drown if he took on the sea. So either way, he was going to die. At least if they hid out on the island, no matter how perilous it was, they would have a chance for survival.
"M-maybe it would be best if we stayed here…"
"Good to know. Let's try to ignore the scary stuff and just enjoy the time we have here. I mean, when's the next time we're going to have a vacation?"
"Good point," said Amy. "I guess as long as no one goes into the forest, we'll be fine."
"Exactly," Tails smiled.
Sonic looked around. "Does anyone else feel rain?"
Everyone looked up. Tiny droplets of precipitation were coming down from the heavens in small numbers. It didn't seem to be a big deal.
"I'm getting inside!" Sonic announced. "If the woods are bad, I'm sure the rain is even worse!"
"Oh c'mon," Tails laughed. "How bad can it be?"
That's when they heard Knuckles scream. He was holding his right hand and there were slight tears in his eyes. Rouge ran over by his side.
"Knux, are you okay?" she asked, worriedly.
"R-Rouge…the rain went r-right through my hand!" he whimpered.
"Wait, what?" Amy gasped.
Another raindrop came down, this time sinking right through Rouge's left wing. She shrieked with pain.
"Everyone, get inside!" Sonic cried out. They didn't need to be asked twice. But, for some reason they all ran into Sonic's house. The blue hedgehog himself came in last, locking the door behind him. Knuckles was moaning with agony as Rouge studied the wound. The drop of water had created a tiny hole in his hand, not very deep since it had been of a small size. Rouge had a tear in her wing that Amy was patching up with her handy medical supplies.
"Haunted woods, acid rain," Sonic sighed. "…What next?"
"Emeral's rabbit-eating ghost?" Cream asked fearfully. (Emeral, or ML, shown in Sonic X)
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
"How's your hand, Knuckles?" Tails asked, desperately trying to break the tension.
"Painful," was his answer.
"There," Rouge smiled. "You're done, Knuckie…I mean, Knux."
"Thanks, Rouge."
Amy sighed. She stood in front of the window, watching the rain fall outside. It seemed harmless, yet it was so deadly. It was strange how such a trivial substance could cause so much damage. Sonic walked over and stood next to her. He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, making her heart pound.
"Don't worry, Ames," he grinned. "It'll all be over before you know it."
"Ames?" she thought with anticipation. "Is that some sort of new pet name? OH MY GOSH this is so amazing!"
Amy took advantage of the moment and leaned against his tan chest, burrowing the side of her head into his fur. Sonic didn't protest, and that just made her even happier.
Knuckles smirked from behind them. There was camera in his hands. After taking a quick picture, he shoved the photo in his suitcase. "That one's going on youtube," he whispered deceitfully.

Tails groaned from the window. It had been raining non-stop for five hours and they were all getting cranky.
"Ugh, this is hopeless!" Knuckles complained. "We've been trapped in this prison for a year!"
"Knuckles, it's only been a few hours."
"Well, a few hours to you are ten months in echidna years."
"First of all, there are twelve months in a year, and second of all, Echidna years?" Rouge snorted. "What the heck is that?"
"You know, it's like dog years, just different."
"Knuckles, you need to stop watching Animal Planet."
Amy entered the room, spraying her beloved Febreze bottle all around the room. "I can't take this anymore!" she moaned. "It's like something was attacked by a skunk, rolled around in manure, and then passed away! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Guys," Cream announced gleefully. "I think the acid stuff is gone!"
"Are you serious?" Knuckles asked.
"Yup," Cream beamed. "See for yourself!"
Everyone ran to the window, pushing each other out of the way. Knuckles and Tails pressed their faces against the glass. Cream was right, the rain had stopped.
"WOO-HOO!" Sonic cheered. He practically knocked the door down on his way out.
"SONIC!" Amy cried. She ran after him. "Get back here! You don't know what's out there!"
Amy chased after Sonic while he dashed around the island at top speed. Sonic looked behind him to see her just inches away.
"How on Mobius do you keep up with me?"
"Who knows? Maybe all those years of chasing after you are paying off."
"You can't beat me! I'm the fastest thing alive!"
"Oh yeah, just watch me!"
The two hedgehogs ran around the beach, laughing the whole time. Sometimes Sonic would slow down just a bit, and then zip away right before she reached him. Who knew chasing each other could be so entertaining? It was the first amusement they had experienced since they had gotten there.
Knuckles whipped out the camera again. This time he pressed record, videoing the whole prospect while chuckling devilishly. Rouge came up next to him and examined what he was doing. She smirked.
"Ya know, Knuckles. You have to take the lens cap off the camera before you start recording, or you'll just get a black screen."
Knuckles looked at the camera and saw she was right. "Whoops…" He did what she said and then continued videoing the scene.
"Maybe this place isn't so bad," Tails smiled. "As long as we avoid all the bad locations, this'll be a blast!"

Eggman studied the screen on his computer furiously. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" he screamed.
A short gray robot wearing a butler's tux stood by his side. It was all too obvious that he was annoyed and fed up. "What's an outrage, Sir?"
"The Sonic Team aren't dead yet! I mean, look at them! They're flipping enjoying themselves!"
"Well, maybe they just know how to have a good time, Sir," the robot sighed. "Unlike a certain weirdo I know…"
"What was that, Robobot Butler 300?"
"Nothing, Sir," Robobot Butler 300 hissed, muttering for the hundredth time how much he hated his name.
"Anyways, because my plan isn't going as premeditated, it's time to convey some heavier artillery."
"Like…?"
Eggman threw his head back and laughed evilly, making his enormous stomach jiggle. "Wait and see, Robobot Butler 300…Wait and see…"
Okay, so basically there's a small cliffhanger. What is Eggman planning? Will the Sonic Team survive this heinous trip? How long will their enjoyment last? Why am I asking all these stupid questions?
Yes, I know, I spelled Robot wrong. I meant to. I just think the word Robobot is so KOOL! LOL so please don't mention it.
Another thing, I just wanted to let everyone know that I own this story 100% and if anyone tries to steal my idea I will cut off the hand they used to steal it with and shove up their butt. Then I'll bash their heads so hard with my mallet (yes I actually have one) that their cranium will sink inside their bodies, so that they'll have to live the rest of their pathetic lives headless, handless, and with that hand up there butt and around the corner. Understand?
No pressure. Just don't steal my story. C:
For all you people who don't steal other people's ideas, this message isn't for you. You guys rock!
Okay I'm done talking about that. Please review and keep voting on Shadow! So far, it's going pretty well.
One more thing. You were right, doctorcookiemonster. It was Eggman and a wise(ehm)butt Butler. Hey, maybe that's why they call him a butler. Ya know, BUTler LOL. I'm such a nerd.
Bye! :D
