Brookie sits cross-legged on the sofa, her eyes wide and bright, and their brown rim gleaming with eagerness.

"Hey, guys!" she waves, a little too energetically. "How're you all doin'? I'm sure you've been waiting patiently for another chapter!"

"Pfft… Yeah, right," growls another voice. "They've been wanting to see how you could humiliate someone at their birthday party."

"Humiliate?!" The girl briskly stands, her point-y finger rising as she's offended by the statement. "I've never been this insulted in my life! Now, for that, you owe me a year's supply of chocolate!"

"You've been insulted with worse…"

A pout. "The postman's opinion on my explosive mailbox DOESN'T count!"

"Oh, right…" the other remarks, a snarky grin forming on his muzzle. "And, the chocolate thing? I mean, what the Hell?" a red echidna inquires, raising a brow as he nears the sofa. "I thought you were off that stuff."

"Why do I need to be off it? It's… it's…" her hands tremble, her mind thinking of a reason, "Chocolate… chocolate is… is… it's EPIC! AWESOME! BETTER THAN CHEESECAKE!"

"The author would have to disagree…" Knux rolls his eyes, folding his arms as he does so.

"Cut the fourth-wall cracks," Vanilla Ice Cream mumbles. "We need to get on with this darn chapter."

"Great…" Knuckles throws his hands up in exasperation. "More mayhem and chaos! Well, whatever…I'll just be on Angel Island if ya' need me… Oh, and don't bother me!"

Said creature stumbles off screen, tripping over a randomly fallen chair as he goes, to which he then picks himself up, and makes his way to the door, mumbling silent curses.

The female stands, and her hair shields a confused expression. "How does that logic work?"

A silence.

"Hmm… Anyways! Recently, I've been bored stiff, because the stupid writer of this stupidly stupid story won't type up the next chapter from last time! What a jerk… For all you know, I could've still been in the last chapter, getting stalked by that dreadlock dude! Eh…" she trails off, placing a finger on her chin, "…maybe… Onto other matters, I've pretty much heard of some whacky T.V show called…"

She taints her fingers, smirking darkly.

"…Sonic X!" she takes a few steps forward. "Now, somebody's asked to do a character from there… and 4Crud ain't gonna' have no opinion on this! …Well… they might, but I ain't gonna' listen."

"…Ahem. It's 4Kids, not that…" whispers the camera-man.

"Yeah, very well done, Captain Obvious!" Brookie snaps back, arms folding as she glares. "Who said you could interrupt my wonderful lecture about the villainous scum who ruined the best Japanese-Sonic-anime I've ever heard of?!"

"Have you even watched it?"

"…Shut up." The human brings her attention back to the camera. "Anyway, I'll leave it up you guys to guess who it is…" She pulls out a torch from God-knows where, shining the light upwards, past her chin. "I'll tell ya' something, though… It involves something to do with…"

Random thunder-clouds form in the background.

Dun, dun, dun!

"…resurrection!"

And then, another voice ruins the atmosphere.

"Bringing people back to life? Shadow? Cream?"

"Uh… " She stares at the cameraman for a moment, her look showing, 'really?' and irritation. "Cream isn't dead. And I'm pretty sure that ebony guy is still alive."

The boy behind the recorder holds a shifty look. "Uh… right."

Ice Cream ignores that, and stands tall, raising yet another point-y finger into the air, Mobius' flag bristling in the background, (Whatever it is,). "I will honor the request nobly! I will make sure to humiliate, decorate and surprise like never before!" She turns to the finger to the audience. "Please, do enjoy the chapter~!" She bows, a single rose falling at her feet.

"…The Hell?" Knuckles is stood at the door, an eye ridge raised at the applauding cameraman and the obviously-sugar-high girl as he slowly slips out of the door. "Next time, that blasted packet of grapes can stay where it is…"

s-S-s

Miles "Tails" Prower stands at his desktop, rubbing his head as he continues to drive himself to no end over a recent matter.

Sonic had been stealing chilidogs… again. And, what else, you ask?

He had been blaming it on Silver. Poor Silver!

Of course, nobody except everyone believed the future hedgehog's innocence, whilst that same amount of people didn't believe Sonic's story.

In the court case of it, they found Sonic guilty, (surprise, surprise,) and had sentenced him to working ten hours every day at Pizza Hut due to Silver's untimely absence, even though pizza had nothing to do with it.

Now, the grey-ish creature is sat behind the brainiac, slouching on the chair as he's giving a worried frown.

"How d'you think Sonic's doing?"

The fox turns to him, brow rising at the question. "You're worried?"

"Well…" Silver rubs his neck sheepishly. "Kinda. Does he even know how to make pizza?"

"Pretty sure he does," Tails claims a little too quickly, causing Silver's eyes to narrow suspiciously.

s-S-s

Over in the southern end of Mobius, a certain chef is at a stove, inside a well recognized takeaway, which is only known as… Pizza Hut.

He turns his head, seeing a not-very-shocking sight for his career.

"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GETITOFF! GETITOFF!"

Sonic the Hedgehog is speeding around the room, head ablaze, eyes in a, 'OX,' state, and arms flailing like a crazed idiot.

"You're supposed to cook the pizza, not your head!" comes a voice from outside the flaming dough present on the blue one's head.

And then, another forsaken voice calls, "Water! We need WATER!"

The raging replacement begins sniffling loudly, and then screams.

"Oh, Chaos, NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-o-o-o-o….!"

s-S-s

"Yep; I'm sure he's fine," Tails assures, trying to ease himself out of the other's suspicion.

Silver shrugs. "If you say so… but if he messes up, my job's gone, and it's on my head."

Tails looks at his massive quill-do.

Silver deadpans and glares, "Not that!"

"Uh…" Tails shoves his gaze to the door. "I think the door rang."

A frown. "I didn't hear anything."

Ding, dong~! Knock, knock, knock, knock~!

The kitsune turns to the hedgehog, a smile forming. "See?"

"Jeez…" Silver's eyes widen. "You must be psychic or something."

Good thing Miles had luck on his side.

He proceeded to the door, and opened it, happy and ready to greet the visitor.

And when he opens that door, his gawp drops to the floor.

"Holy…"

Eggman is at the door… hula-dancing.

"Get a load of this!"

Tails twitches.

"My eyes! My precious, one-eye eyes!" the hedgehog screams, his eyes writhing in pain out of the horribly disturbing sight.

The fox is just as traumatized as Silver.

A dark, small, bluish robot holding an M on his stomach pops out from behind, and then witnesses this horrifying catastrophe.

"Uh… you two! The Doctor's here!" whimpers his squeaky voice.

Two, taller robots enter, one having a blue tint and a rounder figure, while the other is slim and golden.

The taller one blinks, wincing, it seems. "Uh… Doctor?"

No response… and Eggman still insists on hula-dancing.

The blue robot blinks likewise. "He's lost his sanity, again…"

Bokkun shudders. "This is your fault for giving him sugar! You idiots!"

"How dare you?! Our processes are much swifter than yours!"

"How could you compare us to such things?!"

"Ugh…" The smaller one face-palms. "Just get him outta' here!"

He notices Tails.

"Fu… fudge."

"RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!" they all scream in unison, dragging Eggman behind them as they speed off.

Tails' left eye twitches, and he hesitantly shuts the door.

"I never want to go to Hawaii, again," the silver hero states, rubbing his temples.

Ding, dong~! Knock, knock, knock, knock~!

The yellow one grits his teeth. "Not again."

He takes a peek through the eyehole, and sees that it couldn't be him again, unless he was bending down.

The door opens, and…

The future one sneaks another, cautious look at the entrance, blinking. "Uh… Is it me, or is that a Kirlia at the door?"

The said creature walks in, Tails stepping aside as his mouth grows wide.

"It's… C-C-Cos…"

The girl is green, white, and holds a red, oval-ish gem supporting a green cardigan. Her dress holds petals sewn together for a dress, and she possesses green hair. Technically, she's a seedrian.

"Oh, man! It is! Maybe it's a super-rare shiny?!" Silver quickly stands, yanking out a Pokéball from his quills and chucking it at the random guest. "Go, Pokéball!"

"Owwww!"

Miles blinks at this display, and then snaps himself out of shock. "Hey, quit it!"

He steps towards the floor-stricken Pokéball, trying to pick it up, only to find his hands frozen in mid-air, a blue aura surrounding them.

"SILVER!"

"No, you can't take that! It's the only one I have! And this shiny means everything to me!" Silver wails, like a panic-stricken Pokémon Master.

"Jeez! This isn't a game character! This is C-C-Cosmo!"

"Crud! You already caught and nicknamed it?!" The grey mammal snaps his fingers. "Darn… Now, I won't be able to beat Gary…"

The Prower looks at him weirdly. "What is WRONG with you, all of a sudden?"

"Please, sir… Leave Tails be! I only came to visit him," the "Kirlia" speaks up.

Bright, yellow eyes dilate. "IT CAN TALK, TOO?!" he asks, and then resumes mumbling, "Screw Meowth…"

"Silver, stop it."

Silver looks at Tails like a guilty child would to an angry adult. "Sorry… I just have a need to catch randomly random shinies… And ones that talk…"

Tails face-palms, and then looks to Cosmo, somewhat nervous. "Ha, ha… sorry about that… Well… hi, Cosmo."

She gives the equivalent of the, '^_^' face. "Hi, Tails. Surprised to see me?"

Tails tilts his head. "Yeah, more than anything. But… not that I don't like your company, or anything…" he blushes a bit, "but how'd you… how're you even here?"

"Hmm…" She frowns. "You know, I don't really understand it either… but what I do know is what you said back then…"

Tails' cheeks go red.

Now sitting on the seat, Silver quirks an eye ridge as he leans back on the sofa. "You guys want fill me in?"

The fox resists the urge to glare.

"Yeah…" Tails murmurs to Cosmo. "Um…" he scratches his head. "You want to stay for tea?"

Cosmo nods, solemn but still peppy. "That would be nice."

"A romantic tea?" Silver interjects.

Tails walks past him, heading for the kitchen.

"OWWW!" Silver screeches. "Why'd you elbow me?"

s-S-s

"So… you just woke up there, like that?" Tails asks.

"Yeah, this massive fish must've carried me ashore on this whacky island! And I saw aliens! Swear to Chaos! Aliens!"

"Silver…"

"Yeah?"

Mr. Prower tilts his head. "We weren't talking about that. I was talking to Cosmo."

"Oh, sorry."

"Anyway…" the fox trails, gaze slowly moving to the plant being. "You said you woke up?"

Cosmo nods and sips her drink. "It was so… strange. I felt like my insides had been burned so many times… and that was horrible. And then, I heard voices… and I woke up, seeing the tree I used to be had vanished. Gone…"

"Certainly is odd…" Tails remarks.

"Could it have anything to do with the future, past, or something?"

"Silver, not everything has time tragedies involved. Well… sort of. I know everything is connected with that… but, you know."

"No," the tall-quill owner says, "I don't."

"Yeah, you do."

"MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Huh?" The trio looks to the door, seeing the door knob turning.

"I'VE GOT YOU, NOW!"

Cosmo gasps silently.

Tails looks worried.

Silver's eating ice cream from a random tub, but he drops it.

A minute passes, and it still doesn't turn completely.

"Darn it… It's locked!" exclaims a voice. "Tails, be bud and open the door, will you?"

Tails stares, confused as ever, but then carefully approaches the door, peeks through the eye-hole and obliges.

It opens to reveal…

Silver shuts his eyes out of fear, in case he witnesses the horrible dancing session again.

"Hey, it's only a human."

"Well… he sounds like Eggman to me."

"HE?!" A girl with brown hair barges in, eyeing Silver with malice. "Take that back, hedgie!"

The being from the future carefully opens his eyes, and then offers fallen ice cream as an apology.

"OOO! Ice cream!" she nabs it. "Forgiven!"

She scoffs it, and two minutes later, she's stood at the door again.

"Okay… Start again in three, two, one…"

She clears her throat, and…

"MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'VE GOT YOU, NOW!"

The trio looks fearful, as if they hadn't been expecting her.

"COSMO…"

Tails' reflexes cause him to stand in front of the girl, protectively.

"Y-y-yes?" Cosmo asks, shaking as she hides behind the two-tailed fox.

"Y-YOU… Y-Y-YOU…"

Silver holds out his hands. "Careful, guys! I'll sort out this jerk!"

"…"

Silence.

"…"

Silence.

"…"

Oh, please, somebody! Say something! The narrator's getting SICK of repeating the word, 'silence,'!

"…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Suddenly, party balloons emerge from nowhere, flooding in as random Sonic characters file into the room, bearing gifts and birthday presents… except Shadow, though; Rouge had dragged him here.

A food table randomly yet unexplainably appears at one side of the room, housing chilidogs, cake, and foods of many different types. Sonic's to it in a second.

"HEY! YOU! You're meant to be at Pizza Hu—!"

The voice is cut off by an airborne, stone cake.

Music plays in the background as a cream rabbit dances with an azure Chao, a green crocodile speaks with a certain, red armadillo, and a bee pesters a camouflaging chameleon.

The human jumps up, grabbing a balloon and squealing like a little girl, and comments on the trio's stunned faces, "Yes! Success! A brilliant—!"

Eggman, who's currently stuffing his face with a sub-sandwich, glares at her.

"—sandwich!"

Cosmo looks around, blue orbs gleaming like a kid in a vivid candy store. "Oh, wow…"

Tails does the same, and Silver…

Well, he just ends up being Silver.

"Thank you, everyone!" the seedrian shouts, hands clasped as she smiles brightly.

Everyone acknowledges it, and gives a grin… except for Shadow. He's still being Mr. Grumpy.

Cosmo then frowns a little. "But… what is all of this for?"

Everyone looks to the dress-wearing human in the centre of the room.

She twirls her shoe, awkward. "Uh… your birthday?"

Cosmo blinks. "That's nice… but it isn't my birthday."

"Erm… HAPPY, LATE ANNIVERSARY!"

And, with those words, the attendants turn back to their activities, accepting the seedrian's fated party.

Presents soon pile up in the corner, and Shadow, who is trying to keep to the party's corner, is stood by its side. He soon realizes his mistake when the presents topple over and collapse on him.

"Chao… Chao!" Cheese tells his owner, floating past the hedgehog.

Cream looks to the Ultimate Lifeform, confused. "Do you need help, Mr. Shadow?"

Shadow ignores the well-mannered rabbit, and glares at the blue Chao, who, being a complete troll, starts laughing at his predicament.

"YOU LITTLE—!"

"Language, Shads!" Rouge interrupts, helping him up and forcing a fairy cake down his throat. He gags, swallows the cake whole, and then curses under his breath.

One of the presents rolls towards Cosmo, and she hesitantly picks up, opening the lid in time to see… a Pokéball!

"Oh, dear…"

An automated voice begins, "Go, Pokéball!"

"COSMO!"

Tails pushes the box out of her hands, before Cosmo receives another brutal beating.

He glares at Silver.

"Uh… sorry?"

The one we know as Vanilla Ice Cream walks over to Tails, grinning eerily. "So… Tails, 'I herd U liek Mudkips,'."

Miles folds his arms, skeptical. "Why so many Pokémon jokes?"

Brookie deadpans, "Because your G.F looks like a Pokémon." She turns to Cosmo. "No offence."

Silver grins. "See? Told you I wasn't crazy!"

…

Everyone takes one step away from the mammal.

"Anyways, I brought your little girlfriend back to life."

"Girlfriend?!" the kitsune blushed, and then regained himself. "Uh…Back to life? She was alive anyway!" Tails narrows his eyes.

"Yeah, but I kinda made a deal with self-proclaimed genius over there, or, Knuckles did, through reluctant abuse… and who's-it… and sorted it so she could physically be with ya', but, it involved burning down her tree."

Tails flashes a glance around her, seeing the mad scientist scoffing a chocolate-sprinkled donut.

"So, that's why it hurt…" Cosmo concludes.

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. Slight drawback."

"Just like Eggman to keep stuff like that away from me," Miles murmurs to himself. "But… won't she turn into a tree when she's an adult? Isn't she one, anyway?"

"…Crap."

The seedrian vanishes, and a tree randomly sprouts in the house, forcing everybody out of the mini place.

Silver pouts. "Aww! The party's ruined! Why did you have to open your mouth, Tails?"

Tails sighs.

s-S-s

Finally, an update! :D

Figured that I should update this… and I'll be updating Sidekick Swap soon, too… So expect something there if you read it.

Anyways, this was inspired by a certain reviewer… cos, really, I couldn't pick from all the awesome characters!

Don't ask me why I put Silver in here… Trust me, I HAVE watched Sonic X; I know Silver ain't in it, but if the series went on, he might've ended up in it…

Onto another topic, if you must request me to do someone, do PM me, cos I'm not sure if that's against the rules or not… Don't want to get in trouble, do I? …I've seen SATAM, X, and the actual games, so any of those are fine… but I don't know comics well, so don't play pop with me if I can't do it… DX I dislike getting peoples' personalities wrong.

Disclaimer time!

I do not own the characters in this story. All of them and rights go to SEGA.
