Chapter 2: Converting a nay sayer

~Hours later...~

AAmy was with the others decorating Amy's house after Amy finished her Christmas shopping with Cream and her mom. The others came over to help, even Team Chaotix; well, most of Team Chaotix...

"Charmy! Stop eating Amy's cookies!" Blaze yelled as the cat princess caught Charmy, the young bee of the Chaotix red handed eating Amy's cookies, red handed; frosting and all on his hands and mouth.

"I can't help it!" Charmy cried loudly as he dropped some cookies out of his hands. "They're so yummy!"

"Charmy, get out!" Amy yelled from the living room angrily and Charmy flew out screaming and crying. Amy rolled her eyes in frustration as she decorated the tall Christmas tree with Christmas lights and Knuckles was at the bottom of the tree waiting to plug in the lights when Amy was finished.

"OK Knuckles!" Amy said to him down below from the ladder. "Plug them in!"

Knuckles plugged the lights in the socket, but nothing happened…Not even a single flicker came from the lights.

"Damn it!" Knuckles cursed under his breath as he tried to figure out what went wrong, when Sonic came into the house.

"Hey everyone!" Sonic greeted everyone and then saw Knuckles struggling with the Christmas lights.

"Sonic, hey!" Tails, Sonic's best friend and bro greeted him gladly while holding a box of Chirstmas decorations. "How did it go?"

"Fine, until I bumped into Shadow." Sonic groaned in reply to the twin tailed fox. Tails frowned as he and everyone else knew of Sonic and Shadow's frienemy relationship.

"What did he do this time to ruffle your quills, Blue?" Rouge asked as she was busy hanging mistletoe over a doorway, much to Sonic's dismay; Amy's always wanted to kiss Sonic ever since they met, but the mistletoe's going to be her excuse to kiss him but he always seems to avoid it every year luckily.

"His words, not mine but…Shadow doesn't believe in Christmas."

Everyone just stopped in their traps as they heard what Sonic said about Shadow not believing in Christmas.

"Why would he say that?" Blaze said in disbelief.

"Beats me Blaze, all we do know is he's turning into a right Scrooge." Sonic told the violet feline.

"Yeah, if only the ghost of Christmas past, present a future from the Chrismas Carol can stop him from being a real Scrooge, as least for this holiday." Silver joked a bit as he used his powers to levitate a few gifts under the Christmas tree.

"Actually, maybe they can…" Tails told him. Sonic knew that Tails has a clever plan in that mind of his.

"What do you mean, Tails?" Cream asked him, curiously.

"What if three of us were the Ghost and we make Shadow see the point in this holiday?" Tails asked them and everyone agreed with him but Sonic stopped everyone.

"But little buddy, how do we make it look like we're actually ghost? I mean, he'll see right there and then we were pranking him, I know that we'll use the emeralds to travel through time, but how to we make him believe we're ghost?"

"Leave that to me." Tails said, with a clever spark in his eyes. Everyone knows that when Tails has a plan, it usually helps them to succeed in their plans against Eggman. All they have to do is wait and see what tricks Tails have up his sleeve…
