Just two days after Jake's departure, Sonic happened to be walking upon one of the bookshelves when he heard an unusual coughing sound. He carefully moved one of the books out of his way and what should he have found there but an owl wearing a big green hat and green pants. This particular owl had definitely seen better days. It took him about a minute for him to realize who this was.

"Woodsy Owl?! Is that truly you? I haven't seen you in awhile!" he exclaimed.

"Hello Sonic," said Woodsy rather weakly.

"What are you doing here? I thought Jake's mom was going to fix you, sew you up, course that was some time ago," asked Sonic.

"Eh, she said that to make him feel better, but instead hid me here, saying she just had more important things to do at the time, and she looked at me saying: I'll come back. But, I was completely forgotten," Woodsy explained.

"Why didn't you call for help, any one of us would have pulled you out of here, set you somewhere she could have spotted you," Sonic asked once again.

"I did try, but, what do you know, the dust kept getting in my throat, and with so many injuries and having lost a bit of stuffing, I lacked the strength to actually shout or move this book to make my vocals work correctly," said Woodsy with a most melancholic voice. All of a sudden, as if to change tone in the room, a commercial on the room's TV that Pongo and Squirtle were watching blared on.

"Welcome to the Toy Shack! We're located right at the Fairview Outlet Mall! Anything you could want-" Pongo turned off the TV.

"The last thing we need is someone finding out that we're alive up here, plus that guy is so annoying," he said.

"Ah let's just face it, I'm done for, Sonic, everyone knows that when a toy is put aside and forgotten, one of two things happen, the trash, or a yard sale," Woodsy continued.

"Squirt-Squirtle!" Squirtle called.

"What's that my brethren?" asked Crush.

"He said yard sale," answered Pongo, it took about half a minute for everyone in the room to suddenly realize the gravity of this.

"Everybody get with your buddies and stick together! You know the drill! This could easily be a trap!" Ackbar ordered. Crush began doing a role call when all of a sudden footsteps were heard coming up to the room, trying not to be obvious, the toys all hid themselves. In came Jake's mom.

"Alright then, let's see what has to go," she said to no one in particular. She walked around the room, picked up a few kiddie games that Jake and his brothers didn't play anymore such as 'Candyland,' 'Hi-Ho Cheerio,' and 'Connect Four.' She then picked up two kiddie puzzles having to move a very nervous 6 out of the way to get them. She then went to the bookshelf, pulled off a few books, and then saw Woodsy. Sonic watched her intently, trying to remain perfectly calm. She just reached in, and pulled Woodsy right out. Sonic looked his friend in the eyes as the old owl simply said: "So long buddy, take care." Before being placed unceremoniously into the box. That was right when Jake's mother left.

Sonic stood dumbfounded for about a second but then snapped into action. He leapt off the bookshelf, and whistled. Trudging into the room came the family's pet Chihuahua, Rocky. Sonic looked Rocky in the eye and said: "Lay down!" Having been trained by both the toys and humans to follow various commands, Rocky obeyed. Sonic climbed aboard Rocky, gripping onto the dog's collar and told him: "Go to the yard sale!" Rocky yipped and ran right down the stairs. All the other toys in the room could not believe what they had just seen.

"Come back Sonic! You're still needed here! Please don't sell yourself!" Sirius called.

Sonic did not adhere to Sirius' call; he had a mission to undertake. He lead Rusty to the yard, and hid himself underneath the dog's body, making sure nobody could see him, while keeping a weather eye out for the box that had Woodsy in it.

Meanwhile, Sonic's friends back up in Jake's room rushed to the window, 7 carrying a toy telescope that she assisted Crush in using.

"What's going on, Crush?" asked Tails.

"Patience dude, give me some time to find old blue," said Crush. But that apparently did not take long as Crush then said; "Aw dude, Sonic's just climbed up on one of the tables, and he's about to jump into one of the boxes!"

"I can't bear to watch this!" said 6, covering his eyes.

"Me neither!" said Mr. Potato Head who took out his eyes and hid them behind his back.

"Wait! I think I see him coming out of there, and he's holding something, aw dude it's Woodsy Owl!" exclaimed Crush.

"Woodsy?!" everyone exclaimed in unison as they tried to get the best look they could. It was indeed true, Sonic was pulling out poor Woodsy owl from the box, and was now carrying him down to Rocky.

"Oh, so he wasn't trying to sell himself, it was a rescue mission!" exclaimed Spider Spud.

"That's my boy!" exclaimed Sirius in agreement. Back down at the yard sale, Sonic was busy tucking Woodsy into Rocky's collar, a rather difficult process, as Woodsy was rather large for Rocky, but Rocky was willing to persist.

"Alright, now it's back to the room for us!" exclaimed Sonic.

"Bless you, Sonic," said Woodsy rather emotionally.

"Good old Sonic the Hedgehog, he's always rescuing critters," said 6.

"Yeah, that's our Sonic, and believe me, I know how Woodsy feels," agreed Ackbar. Rocky was now speed walking back to the house, even with two toys that weighed almost as much as he did, so it was definitely not good for his back, and Sonic noticed that poor Woodsy was beginning to slip from the collar that held him in his weakened state. While trying to push Woodsy back up onto Rocky's back, Sonic fell and poor Rocky didn't even notice, he just kept walking and having lost much of the weight that was on his back he ended up going faster than before.

Sonic didn't blame Rocky, after all, he was just a small Chihuahua, and was clearly struggling under the weight. Besides, he could still walk into the house whereas Woodsy had been in no state for that. So his accidental fall, to him, meant Rocky's back wouldn't give, and it was just an accident. So, he just stood upon his legs and began to walk toward the house when he heard someone coming up behind him.

"Hey, what is this?" a middle-aged man wondered out loud. He bent down to pick up Sonic. He examined Sonic carefully, but then, when he noticed the medallion around Sonic's neck, he gasped.

"I-I don't believe it! I found him! In this yard sale of all places! In good condition too! That's amazing!" he cried.

"That's not his!" exclaimed 7 angrily. The man walked up to the table that Jake's father was currently sitting at, collecting a payment for a cookie jar with Sesame Street characters.

"Find anything you fancy?" he asked the middle-aged man when he came up.

"Oh he found something, but you better not sell it to him," said Spider Spud.

"Um, yes actually, how much would you like for this?" the man asked, showing Sonic.

"Wait, is that a Sonic the Hedgehog action figure? Honey, did you pick up Jake's Sonic action figure to sell?" responded Jake's dad.

"No, and what are you talking about?" she asked, walking over to try to understand her husband. When she saw what was in the customer's hands, she was taken aback.

"Now how did he get down here? I'm sorry sir, but this is not for sale, it's an old family toy," she said, taking it out of the man's hand, and folding Sonic's legs and arms, placed it in a small safe where she and her husband were collecting profits.

"I can pay twenty-thirty! Anything!" the man offered.

"I'm sorry, but we aren't selling it. If you want one of those so badly, try ebay," said Jake's father, who got up to help a customer who was waving his arms over at an armchair.

"Excellent, Sonic is safe now," exclaimed Ackbar.

"Thanks to Jake's parents, way to go!" added Pongo. But victory was short-lived. Once both parents had their attention turned away from him, the man walked to a table that had a few kitchen appliances, and with a quick move of his hips, he knocked it over. Ducking out of the way, he waited until Jake's mother was immersed in trying to pick up what was salvageable, and then he rushed back to the table with the safe.

"Quirt squirt!" Squirtle moaned as he covered his eyes.

"How low can you get?!" cried Sirius.

"I'm going in!" yelled Ackbar. But Gimli stopped him.

"No, I will handle this you stay here!" he ordered as he jumped out the window, slid down the drainpipe and rushed to the middle-aged man, axe raised. He knew that he wouldn't be able to actually hurt the man, but maybe he could find a way to snatch Sonic. Unfortunately for him, the man was quick in getting to his car. That didn't stop Gimli he just kept running. Right before the man drove away, Gimli managed to read his license plate: TY SHK. Something about that plate definitely rang a bell.
