"I swear if that Rogue BAT keeps trying to steal my emerald I'm gonna claw his eyes out!" Nails growled.

Dash yawned sitting on the stairs to the shrine, leaning on the railing to the stairs. "Is this all you ever call me for? To complain about your grabby boyfriend?" Dash smirked teasing.

"For the 100th time he's not my boyfriend!" Nails growled, blushing now, turning to her blue companion.

"Sure, you say that, but your muzzle is starting to match your fur." Dash snickered to her self, but stopped and dodged a pair of claws.

Dash with dilated pupils looked to Nails who was panting in angry. "You really know how to get under my skin don't you? Prepare to get clawed!" Nails said taking her claws out of the stone.

Dash smirked. "Is that your way of saying you want to fight with all of this?" Dash said posing.

Dash answer was a fist that was heading start for her. Dash jumped. "Nah ah ah, ya gotta catch me first!" Dash with that stuck her tongue out and ran.

"Grrr GET BACK HERE!" Nails ran after her as fast as she could with rage as her fuel.

Meanwhile at GeenHillZone Mall~

Scott, Butter, and Adam were at the mall. They've been there for two hours so far while Adam was trying on clothes.

"Mr. Adam, we've been here forever! Can't you just pick a suit already?" Scott sighed, sitting upside down in the waiting chair outside the dressing room.

Adam came out in a black suit with a red vest, bow tie and cummerbund. "I think this is the one." Adam said, looking quite handsome.

"Finally!" Exclaimed Scott, flipping out of his seat.

"Chao Chao!" Said Butter, happy as well.

Adam smiled. "Sorry for the wait you guys, I just really want to look flashy for the ball that's coming up, I want to looking dashing for my Dash."

Adam laughed hysterically while his friends shook their heads at Adam's lame joke. Then something came into Scott's mind. "I wonder what Dash will wear to the ball, you know she doesn't like being girly."

Adam thought about it and knew this as well. "My future bride...do not worry...I will help you find your feminine side!" Adam's inner thoughts engaged.

Scott sweat dropped and so did Butter's. "Well good luck with that. It's hard enough to catch Dash, think how hard it will be to make her wear a dress."

Adam whimpered, Scott was right, he needed Tails' help, she knew how to make do hickeys that could possibly slow Dash the Hedgehog down.

"Adam Rose is on the case! I will have Dash in a beautiful and lovely dress for the ball! Ahahahahahaha!" Adam ran back into the dressing room, taking off the suit and putting on his original clothes. He went to the person behind the cash register for purchase and left the store with Butter and Scott behind him.

Back to Nails and Dash~

Dash was having the time of her life having a fun teasing and play fight with Nails. Finally Nails took a break after clawing her way into 50 or plus trees. Dash landed from one of the trees she was standing on top of for a good view of the Mystic Ruins.

"Finally you're outta steam Nails. I thought you'd never stop till you deforested the place." Dash laughed.

"The next time, instead of running away, be a real woman and fight me.

Dash nodded and shrugged. "But don't go crying to your boyfriend if I beat you too hard."

A spark went through Nails' eyes as she picked up a huge fallen tree. "He...is NOT...MY...BOYFRIEND!" She threw it and landed on Dash.

Boom!

...

Dash spin dashed out of the thick log. "Geez Nails, I get it! I was just teasing!"

...

Dash was finished visited hot head for the day, she ran through the Mystic Ruins heading toward Station Square, after a round house like that she deserved a couple of chili dogs. Don't you think? All of the sudden the ground started to shake making Dash stop in her tracks. "What in the world is going on?"

The ground under her started to cave in, Dash jumped and latched on to the nearest tree and started to climb it. A mechanical worm came out from it's burrow. It roared, seeking it's prey. Dash squinted her eyes, she could see Egglady's logo on the side of it. She facepalmed. "Of course it's her. It's always her."

The worm sensed Dash and smashed the tree she was in. "W-Woah!"

Dash jumped into another tree. With that thing as an awesome digger it'd be suicide to be on the ground, and even if she did she didn't want to lead it back anywhere. "I need Tails..."

...

Tails', Scott, Butter and Adam were at the Kingdom of Acorns to help set up and decorate the place for the ball. It was a couple of weeks away and the castle was huge! Prince Al (Male Princess Sally) was very grateful for all the volunteers, but he really expected for Dash to be here to help as well. She loved to help others and he really need her. Her speed could really help pick up the pace here.

Tails' felt her wrist watch vibrate and saw it flashing, it was Dash calling she tapped it. "Hello?"

"Hey Tails', Egglady made a mechanical worm and it seems to be after me, I need you to arrive at your plane at the Mystic Ruins and have a power ring with ya. Can you do that lil sis?"

Tails nodded understanding. "Yeah." Tails was about to hang up.

"Wait, wait, wait. Tails!"

"Hm?"

"Don't. Tell. Adam. Okay, bye." Dash hung up, knowing she had to deal with this til Tails got back.

Tails turned back toward the boys after finished communicating, and looked up. Adam was clutched the streamers. "My lady is in trouble?"

'Oh no...' Tails thought, mentally slapping herself, she should have turned down the volume of Dash's voice.

"Don't worry my love! I will save you!" Adam dropped the streamers and started running out the door.

"No! Adam! Wait for me!" Tails shouted out, propelling her Tails to catch up with Adam's determination speed.

Scott just stood there in the grand hall by himself dumbfounded. "So...um...do we pick up where we left off tomorrow?!"

"Choa Choa!"

The two shrugged, dropped what they had and headed home, not able to to anything else without their help.

...

After a while Egglady finally appeared in her egg carrier.

"Hahaha, having trouble there little hedgehog?"

Dash didn't answer, this worm was really aggressive and soon she would have to ditch the trees or else this forest will be deforested.

Dash jumped and was able to land on her Egglady's carrier.

"Hey! This ride can only occupy one! Get off!" Egglady screamed.

Dash was trying to reach the controls but Egglady was pushing her off, the worm was getting ancy, wanting it's prey.

Soon Dash's plan was working and hopped off the egg carrier just in time as the worm was coming their way.

"Finally- ...oh crud."

Gone was Egglady, but the worm wasn't full just yet, and still after Dash as she was running on the ground.

"Geez, I guess that omelette wasn't satisfying." Dash grunted to herself.

She looked up avoiding the trees and planets that were an obstacle and finally say Tails...and Adam...great.

Dash quickly ran up a tree that was quickly eaten up by the monstrous worm and was air borne.

"Tails! Adam! Ring now!"

Adam threw the ring to her and winked at him. "Thanks!"

Adam blushed and smiled with animated hearts in his pupils. "You're so welcome my darling!"

Dash blushed a little but it was hidden as the power ring absorbed into her and she spin dashed in the monster.

The worm wasn't functioning, it's main circuits and wires were destroyed, and it exploded in the process. Egglady rocketed into the sky, "I'll get you next tiiiiimmmmmeeeee!" and vanished with a spark.

"Wohoo! Dash did it!" Tails exclaimed.

Adam sighed lovingly. 'She winked at me...she's so cute and charming at the same time!~'

Tails saw that Adam was day dreaming again and sighed. Tails watched as Dash came out from the rubble and ran up the tree jumping on to one of the planes' wings.

"Thanks for coming little sis." Dash said, smiling.

"No problem, I'm your little sister after all, someone has to help you get outta trouble."

Tails and Dash laughed, but stopped to a 'ahem'.

Dash looked back to a grumpy Adam. Dash sighed and crawled back to him. "Thank you also for coming Adam."

Dash knew she was off the hook when she saw his smile and he gave her a hug, a really tight one.

"Oh sweet heart! You're welcome! Anytime you need the "A man" you just call!"

"Yeah...can do...can't breathe..."

Tails giggled and set course for home.
