A/N: Before you read, I would just like to say I am overdue for writing anything ' and sorry. I'd really like to finish BIOSD but (obviously) I am stuck part way through a chapter so it isn't ready to be submitted yet. But, the holidays are coming soon, so expect at least a bit more updates . Oh, and I don't really type like that..
Chapter 2:
Rouge had jus woken up to her horror to be introduced to the weird… things who called themselves 'Sophie' and 'Melissa'.
Tails, Cream and Cheese, Sonic and Shadow had engaged in what seemed to be a spitball fight with leaves.
"Hey!" The Chaotix team stomped up towards a big building that said "Authorized Personnel Only" on the front door, but when Espio looked through the ajar door he could see Amy and Sophie talking and laughing in a room. He pulled his face into a snarl, "That's unfair!"
He turned to his companions and showed them what/who was inside. What they were doing, they could not tell but a steady chorus of 'Waffles! Waffles!' could be heard.
When Vector recognized that song, his eye twitched, "I… hate… waffles."
Espio and Charmy gasped loudly and the auburn fox (who now seemed to have silver highlights in her fur) ran out screaming, "You WHAT Waffles? HOW DARE YOU!"
After slapping him across the face she ran back inside to see Amy who just stared, sweat-dropping.
Vector ran of crying into the jungle away from everyone. Charmy, just thinking about waffles, had gone hyperactive. When Espio looked over, he nearly fainted to see that out of nowhere Charmy had collected a large amount of leaves and he was now wearing them as loincloths.
"I was right. Those girls aren't a good sign."
Wanting to know what was really going on he turned invisible and slipped past the door.
''Hmm, I should be able to find something in here.''
He crept to where Amy as watching something on Sophie's computer.
"Pff," Espio thought, "What a waste of time."
He turned around to read a clipboard when something warm, wet and slimy went splat! onto his head.
"Damn, I missed!" Shadow swore and Sophie turned to see what that flying green thing was, realizing what had happened.
"Why, glad to (not) see you, Espio. You do know what happens if you come in here without permission, don't you?"
He shifted, changing back to normal, "Uh… no…?" he didn't like that look on Amy's face; it showed a combination of pity and humour.
"You should read the fine print before you sign things."
Later…
After an hour or so, Espio's loud screaming had ceased and he'd given up hope on escaping.
"Why! Why me?"
Amy grinned and threw a pair of heels at is head, "You broke the rules. It's not over yet!"
He picked them up to throw out the window when Sophie appeared from the closet.
"Oh no you don't! Now put them on, before I get someone to do it for you."
Unfortunately, as the contract stated,
'Anyone found intruding on staff headquarters without prior permission must face the punishments as listed below' and in smaller print,
" depending on who catches you and how they are feeling, the consequences can vary,' Espio had no other choice but to comply.
Regrettably, he wasn't fast enough and Sophie had made up her mind.
"Hurry up and set up a catwalk and get out the cameras, it's runway time!"
You could head Espio's screaming from mainland.
Shadow was rather surprised at what was happening. Melissa, Sonic, and Amy had begun to hyperventilate from so much laughter, whilst the others just stood there with massive grins plastered on their faces.
To start off the show, Charmy had offered to wear some face paint as 'pretend makeup' and Cream decided she was going to 'dress up' as an Axe Murderer.
Sophie took her microphone and walked on stage, "And now, for our final event for today, ESPIO!!"
Rouge and Knuckles threw roses onto the stage. Charmy, however, decided onion-weed was more appropriate.
Espio's POV
If a giant anvil was to fall out of the sky and hit me on the head, now was seriously the time.
"Maybe if I beg I can overdose on whatever that insane fox is on.''
I guess I must have brought it al on myself, but still, maybe there is a loophole in this 'contract' thing.
"Hey!" Melissa yelled at me. I expected something horrible but she just cheered me on. Or was it jeering?
"Stop looking blank and put some face into it! Ha- Face!" Sophie giggles maniacally, her face almost as red as her fur.
"Gah!" I gave up completely. After screaming loud swear words in my head I walked like I owned the runway.
Which, I found out later, I technically did.
By the time it was over, I passed out in a sea of popcorn (courtesy of Vector).
Normal? POV
Melissa turned to Sophie, "How long are you going to keep poking him for?"
"As long as it takes for him to wake up."
Everyone was standing in a circle around Espio and it was starting to get a bit monotonous.
"At least this cattle prod you got came in handy," Shadow picked up some popcorn and fed it to the purple bat (Melissa) who was starting to find this really tedious.
Sophie shrugged, "It didn't need to come in handy. It was free."
The group was silent for awhile as the poking continued. It was Sonic that cracked first.
"AHHHHH! How can you BEAR this?" he screamed before storming off, Amy in hot pursuit.
"Wait up Sonic!" Tails ran off too, leaving the Chaotix, Shadow, Knuckles, Melissa, Sophie, Rouge, Cream and Cheese.
After the others couldn't think of an excuse to leave, they all backed away slowly.
Prod… prod … prod … prod…
Espios side really hurt.
"Uhhhnn…" he groaned, "Why can't I see?" only yellow he could see as he regained consciousness.
"It's alive!" she exclaimed, removing the blonde wig obscuring his vision.
"Oh man…" was all Espio could muster.
"Hmm." Sophie thought and then said, "I guess I should congratulate you. No one else is sane enough to pry... and survive… the punishments."
Espio grunted and attempted to pick himself up.
"Which is why you receive this immunity idol. You will not be required to participate in the next task."
"Wha-?" he stood up, confused, "Is this like survivor or something now?"
Sophie put a medal around his neck and replied, "Well, I guess. We'll see wont we."
"Right…" Espio went to hide in his cabin from… them.
The next day…
Rays of sunlight peeped through the windows awakening the sleeping furries in their cabins,
Sophie, having a four-poster bed with curtains, did not notice it was light out so she slept in.
Melissa also wasn't awake yet for some strange reason.
11am
The fox woke up and sat up in her bed.
"Hmm, it feels like I've slept in. I wonder what the time is." She thought and looked towards her alarm clock after pulling back the curtains which caused her to pretty much fall out of the bed.
"GAH!" She stomped out of the room failing to notice that Melissa wasn't there and opened the door to face the island with a not-so-happy look.
Everyone froze and went silent, until finally everyone screamed and ran away into the depths of the jungle.
A murder of crows flew away and one managed to fly into a window of a cabin. It obviously wasn't very bright, and neither was a particular purple bat who, surprised by the sudden SPLAT! On her window, fell out of the bed all tangled in blankets. The red fox gasped and ran over to the bird inspecting it for damage.
Once she realized it had died and there was nothing she could do about it, she threw it away never to be seen again.
Everyone had come to eat at a giant table and were eating a particularly delicious meal.
"Dude, this is awesome!" Sonic exclaimed spraying food from his gaping mouth.
"I know, eh! Who made it?" Knuckles yelled when a dark shadow scuttled from one corner to the other, hissing loudly.
Everyone fell silent until Sophie and Melissa made their appearance fighting over who got the script and who got the camera.
The feasting resumed and Rouge shuffled towards Knuckles whispering into his ear, "Never. Please. Never do that again." They both shivered.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! THEY'RE MINE YOU NOOB!" Melissa cried out leaping in the air in an attempt to grab the script and camera, which she both lost to the 'superior' vixen.
"Seriously, you suck," she said, shaking her head before gapping it to her cabin.
Rouge and Amy peered through the window crouched down underneath it. They were hiding from Melissa who'd gone on a rampage.
"This doesn't seem good. Sophie's been typing for hours. I hope that it's at least sane," Rouge whispered.
"Or she could just be surfing the internet," Amy said.
"Pfft. Yeah, right."
The red/silver fox was sitting in a leopard-print plush beanbag in the corner with a laptop comfortably in her lap.
She'd already given up on typing and decided to test out her new messaging program which she liked to call "Pinecone Messenger." It probably wasn't the best name she could've chosen.
"Yay!" she said to herself as the taskbar flashed orange indicating that someone actually bothered to talk to her.
"Hmm…" she began typing:
"Cornflakee: AWSM! Lol, evry1 thnks dt im typn wn im nt.. well i am bt nt wt they think I am neway :D"
Her giggle faltered en a particular sobbing bat attacked the door with her gloved fists.
"THE CONTRACTTTTT! Owww," she screamed then stopped, remembering that she had the key in her pocket.
After slapping herself in the forehead and getting the key out of her pocket, she opened the door to find Sophie in the corner.
"Oh. Crap," she said before Melissa walked up to her slowly.
Luckily (with a small amount of practice) the fox, with her laptop in hand typed really fast ("70 WPM OMFG!" Screamed the subtitles,) and something really cool happened; Melissa died.
Not really.
Unfortunately a giant (YELLOW) hole appeared in the ground and, with the purple bat situated right on top of it-
"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-…'' Melissa screamed as she fell.
"No, Corn," Sophie corrected as she grabbed the key.
"Sorry everyone on Pinecone Messenger," she said, "I have a lot of editing to do," and leapt onto a large pile of papers on the opposite side of the room attacking them.
The furry manning the video camera (XD) that she'd hired backed out of the room slowly.
