Chapter IV - Game Over

When the boys started their game "Halo 3", they had no idea that the girls were giggling quietly, watching the reactions of everyone dying in the game. "Hey that's not fair!!" Tails shouted. "I wasn't even near that bomb!!" "Get used to it." Knuckles suggested then he saw his character get hit in the head by a sniper bullet in the game. "What the fuck??!!" Knuckles yelled at Shadow. "Sorry, Knucklehead." Shadow apologized, trying hard not to laugh but ended up bursting in laughter.

"Hey that's my Warhog!!" Silver yelled at Sonic. "You're too slow!" Sonic teased as he drove the vehicle in the game & shot down a few others. "Hey that's cheating!!" Knuckles yelled. "Quit you're whining, Knucklehead." Silver grumbled. "On second thought, if you get killed by a sniper again, you will.....have to get up & do the Chicken Dance for one whole minute!" "Hell no." Knuckles refused, shaking his head. "What's the matter?" Shadow asked. "You chicken?" Knuckles growled as Shadow made a few chicken noises at Knuckles while the others joined.

In the attic the girls quietly tried not to laugh as they saw Knuckles about to be humiliated by doing the Chicken Dance if he ended up dying again. And just as they expected, Knuckles' character ended up being sniped by Tails only two minutes in the next round. In the living room, Knuckles was fighting the urge to throw the controller at the TV screen. "Don't you dare break this TV." Sonic warned Knuckles. "You break it, you're buying me another one." "Fuck you." Knuckles grumbled. "Now, Knucklehead, time for your dance." Silver smirked, getting up & looking at the music Sonic had. His smile got bigger as he knew Sonic had the same Chicken Dance song that was popular in other parts of Mobius.

"You got that stop watch ready, Tails?" Shadow asked, with Tails nodding. "Alright.....now dance!" Silver announced, starting the song. Knuckles was forced to get up & right when the song started, he had to flail his arms like how they remember doing the Chicken Dance when they were kids. The boys clapped as the song progressed & Knuckles continued flailing his arms, adding much to the humiliation. In the attic, the girls had to cover their mouths & also find anything to mute their mouths so their laughs couldn't be heard. "I can't believe he's doing this!" Julie laughed. "How embarrassing for poor Knucklehead!" Rouge added. Sally & Amy were laughing too hard to comment while making sure that their laughs were muted.

After the song ended, Knuckles sat down & grabbed his controller. "Still got the moves like when we were kids." Sonic laughed. "Shut up." Knuckles growled. "Why not play a different game?" "Well, let's see what we got." Silver said, getting up & looking at the games. "Hm....Need for Speed Most Wanted. Haven't played this in a while." Silver put in the disc in the console & started it up. In the attic, Blaze & the rest of the girls huddled up again, wondering what other secrets could be spilled. "This is getting boring." Amy whispered. "Shh!" Blaze hushed Amy. "I can't take this." Amy announced, starting to get up. "I gotta get us some of that food!"

"No you don't!" Julie stopped her. "Yeah what if they catch us?" Rouge explained. "There's no way to get into the kitchen without being spotted." Sally added. Amy pouted & sat back down. Then out of nowhere, Amy's stomach started making loud noises, having the girls tried to grab a few pillows that were in the attic to mute her stomach. The good news was that the boys were too busy, in the game, racing away from the cops & they didn't hear. "Thank goodness." Sally sighed with relief, along with the rest of the girls. "Why didn't you bring any snacks, let alone eat before we went on this mission?" "I had plans." Amy explained. "I was going to Papa John's & enjoy a nice big extra large meat lover's pizza with a stuffed crust." The girls rolled their eyes & then huddled up against the TV again until Amy's stomach once again made another loud groaning noise, having the girls mute the sound with the pillows.

Meanwhile back in the living room, Shadow looked around the house. "You guys hear something?" The boys then paused the game & looked around. "Must be the background noise in the game." Sonic answered. Silver nodded & resumed the game. Silver then groaned as he yet crashed & the cops had pinned his car right against a wall. "SHIT!! That's the third time!!" Silver yelled. "When I was going for the milestone, it was extremely easy!! Tails can you try & get Sonic's strategy guides please?" "Sure." Tails nodded, getting up & walking to the book shelf. Ironically that was right where one of the cameras the girls hid. In the attic, the girls froze right when they saw Tails heading right for the shelf. "He's gonna find it." Rouge whispered. "Shh!" Julie hushed. "What if he doesn't?"

But the worst had already happened when Tails, after getting the strategy guides, was already looking in the camera. "Hey guys. Look at this!" Tails announced, waving for the boys to "come here". In the attic, the girls' eyes widened in fear as they saw Tails & the boys look right in the camera. "Shit! We're busted!!" Blaze yelled. "Sally, escape plan?" Rouge asked. "There is no escape plan!" Sally announced. "What?!" Julie yelled. "We only had time to plant the cameras & set everything up!" Sally explained. Then the girls looked right into the TV's with Tails & the boys looking at the camera.

"There's wire here...." Tails started, following the wire. "....& it leads right up to the attic!" "Who was spying on us?" Sonic asked. "I wished I had my Chaos Emerald so I can--!" Shadow started. "No, Shadow." Silver interrupted. "I have to agree with Shadow!" Knuckles growled, having him & the boys go right for the attic door. The girls were arguing on whose fault it was when all of a sudden they saw the attic door open & they saw the faces of five angry boys pop up in the attic. "Well look at what we got here!" Sonic announced. "So these are the ones who were spying on us?" Tails added. "Party crashers." Shadow grinned. "Wanting to spoil our party, do they?" Knuckles asked, smiling evilly at the petrified girls, who were backed up against the wall.

"What do we do about you all?" Silver asked. "Maybe we should teach them not to crash our party." Knuckles answered. "Yeah!" Tails agreed. "Time for punishment, girls!" Sonic grinned. Shadow cackled as the girls looked at the boys with fear, holding each other in fear. "Can't believe this." Rouge whispered to the girls. "All this & we ended up getting to face the wrath of five angry video gaming boys!" The girls nodded in agreement, sweat pouring down their foreheads, wondering what the boys will do to them.
