Chapter 2- The Plot
Sonic ran down the stairs to breakfast the only meal of the day Liz couldn't ruin because she slept later than everyone else. Unless started a food fight, which was whenever she decided to wake up early and join them.
Everyone was sitting at the dining table, minus Tails, Amy, and Liz. Tails and Amy were in the kitchen making more food for when everyone finished and wanted seconds.
Everyone loved breakfast because Liz usually missed it and Tails and Amy always made enough for everyone so there was no need to fight for it. Though some of them probably missed the fighting…
Then the sound of a door slamming was heard just as Sonic sat down and Liz slid down the banister and into the living room, "Good morning all!" she shouted, "Oh good! I'm in time for breakfast."
Though as disappointed as everyone was at this no one showed it, partly because she would probably attack them if they did.
"Here's a plate Liz." Amy said handing Liz a plate of food from the window to the kitchen, "And today, try not to start another food fight!"
"Can do!" Liz said smiling. She turned to sit at the table but stumbled and dropped her plate on Shadow's head, "Oh… I guess I can't."
"HEY!" Shadow shouted, he picked up a pancake from his plate, spun around and chucked it at Liz. But she ducked and it soared through the window to the kitchen and hit Amy square in the face!
"You're goin' down Shadow!" Amy said taking a handful of eggs.
And so the fight began.
Tails stood in the kitchen away from all the messiness. He put his face in his hands and groaned, "Why does she always do this?"
Then the sound of feet going up the stairs was heard followed by many doors slamming.
Tails looked over into the living room to see everyone had retreated up to their rooms leaving him to clean up.
"WHY ME?" Tails shouted.
Then he sighed and reached for a mop.
Later…
Upstairs Knuckles and Sonic were in the hallway talking when a door opened and Liz came out of her room. She eyed Sonic angrily for a moment before continuing downstairs.
"Why does she want to kill you?" Knuckles asked.
"Hell if I know." Sonic replied, "But I don't doubt she will if she gets the chance!"
Just then Hannah came out of the bathroom with a comb in her hand, desperately trying to comb syrup out of her quills, "DAMN YOU SHADOW!" she screamed as she gave up and went into her room, the brush still stuck in her quills.
Sonic and Knuckles laughed. The boys usually teamed up against the girls in food fights which was why they usually came off worse.
"Maybe if we're lucky Liz won't ruin dinner tonight." Knuckles said.
"Yeah, I'm getting sick of pizza!" Sonic said.
"How does she afford six pizzas a night anyway?" Knuckles wondered.
"She probably robs banks!" Sonic suggested.
"That's a good theory." Knuckles laughed.
"Yeah, and she probably stashes it all in her room." Sonic joked.
Knuckles' eyes became wide, "You think so?"
Sonic stared at his friend in horror, "Knuckles… don't get any ideas!" he warned.
But Knuckles already had that wild and greedy look in his eyes, "No Knuckles! If she finds out she'll kill you!"
"C'mon Sonic! What if we get Shadow to help too?" Knuckles said.
"No way! She'll notice!"
"We won't take that much! Just enough…"
"She already hates me! Imagine if Liz found out I went into her room!"
"Go into Liz's room?"
Knuckles and Sonic looked to see Shadow had come out of his room. He closed his door and walked up to them, "Are you two insane? Going into Liz's room? If she even hears you talking about that she'll disembowel you and hang you by your-"
"We get it Shadow! Keep it down!" Sonic said.
"Why would you go into her room?" Shadow asked.
"She's got a stash of stolen money in there!" Knuckles said.
"We don't know that!" Sonic said.
"Well what if she does!" Knuckles said.
"Then we let her keep it and not bother her anymore!" Sonic said calmly.
"What about you Shadow?" Knuckles asked.
"Well, I've always wondered what she keeps in there… But it's too dangerous!" Shadow said.
"She won't find out if we have a distraction." Knuckles glanced at Sonic who immediately knew what had crossed the echidna's mind.
"No Knuckles! No way!"
"Please?" Knuckles asked.
"You'd put my life in danger just for a couple of bucks!" Sonic asked.
"Yeah." Knuckles said.
"Oh… well alright. But if I die then you're not getting any of my life insurance." Sonic said.
"We don't have life insurance."
"DAMN!"
"I'm in too!" Shadow said.
"Yes! We're gonna be rich!" Knuckles said.
"I demand life insurance before we continue with this operation!" Sonic shouted.
So the three ran off to find a good insurance company.
