I've really gotta thank Leopardfur for this one.
Lizza (Leopardfur said it wasn't a typo, so it isn't a typo) belongs to Leopardfur.
Vector, Espio, Charmy, and any other Sonic characters belong to SEGA.
I only own Sam, A.J., and their families.
"Damn." Sam kept saying. "I cannot believe those creapazoids broke my glasses."
A.J. just sighs. She's been hearing her friend repeat the same thing over and over again all day.
"Sam, will you stop the swearing?"
"When we get a case over the phone. Damn."
*Ring Ring Ring*
Sam still cursing, A.J. picks up.
"This is the Mysterium detective agency. What kind of case do you have?"
"Um. My name's Lizza. Can you two come over? I don't feel all that comfortable telling you over the phone."
"Alright. We'll be right there." A.J. hangs up before grabbing her friend by the collar of her shirt.
"HEY! Cursing over here!"
"You said you'd stop that when a case came over the phone. That was our next client."
After a twenty minute drive, the teens arrive to a rather nice house with a young brown rabbit with blue and green highlights. She wore a blue shirt with a pattern of pie and cake, black sweatpants, and a jacket tied around her waist.
"I'll take it you're Lizza?" A.J. asks as she steps from the car. The young rabbit just nods.
"So, what kinda case you got?" Sam asks.
The young rabbit quickly looks around before grabbing the duo and pulling them to her room.
"Sorry about that." Lizza says before blurting out, "Someone's been stalking me."
That instantly gets the cat's and echidna's attention.
"What makes you think that?" A.J. asks.
"Yea. It might just be a guy from your school who likes you but is too shy to just tell you." Sam pitches in.
"I've been seeing this guy around my house, around school—never in mind you—and once in my room! That doesn't sound like a boy gone head-over-heels because he likes someone." Lizza yells.
The detectives raise their hands saying the shouting rabbit has a point. But the other thing the girls noticed is this, Lizza was a bundle of nerves waiting to short-circuit.
"And what's worse, my school's having a dance and he might follow me there."
A.J. gives Sam a look. The cat in turn gives a look that said 'Don't you dare suggest that!'
"Lizza, think you can have us crash that party?"
Now the girls are at the mall, doing the one thing one enjoys while the other loathes.
Shopping.
"Come on! We just have to find two dresses. Then you can burn yours when we're done."
"You can spend how ever much cash you want on a dress. I'm not gonna spend more then twenty bucks."
At that, the echidna drags her best friend into the nearest store.
"A.J.! A.J.! AMBER!"
But only two sets of ears actually heard what she was yelling. Vector and Charmy. Espio said he needed a break from the sabotage attempts.
"You know the plan Charmy."
The young bee flies into the department store and lands near the two teens.
"So Sam, what do you think of this one?" A.J. asks while holding up a cute red dress.
"Teal or an emerald green one would look better on you. But how about this maroon one for me?"
The dress she picked out proved the poor girl had no taste in dresses. The dress had no flattering shape, pitiful design, and a good three sizes to big.
But then Charmy screamed. The two girls panic. Sam just rushes to the register with that hideous dress while A.J. rips a green dress of a rack that said 'XXL' before following her friend.
"Hi girls." Ginger and Grandma Anna greet the disappointed teens. Sam more then A.J.
"Samantha? What's wrong? Couldn't find a dress?" Ginger asks her daughter.
Both girls just hold up the dresses. "Can you tailor these?"
Grandma Anna is surprised. "What happened? You have heard of changing rooms, right?" She takes the dresses from the girls.
"Try coming back in an hour. By then the dresses should be your sizes and Sammie's will be more flattering to her figure."
While the female adults fixed the dresses, Lizza tries to introduce Sam and A.J. to the principal. A rather intimidating thirty-five year old fox named Valletta.
"You see Ms. Valletta, Sammantha and Amber are my cousins. And they were thinking of coming here."
A.J. adds to the cover. "We heard you have this dance every year, and we were hoping we could see what this school has to offer at the dance."
"What kind of fool do you two think I am!" The Vixen shouts while pounding the desk. "I know Sammantha and Amber are the rookie detectives in this area."
"Sorry Ma'am," Sam intervenes. "I'll take any punishment Lizza and my partner Amber may have accumulated from this conversation."
Valletta softens her expression. "There's no need for any punishment. I'm more curious as to why the Mysterium detectives are trying to get into my dance."
"Lizza hired us to investigate a stalker." A.J. says in an attempt to fix whatever damage she caused. "She's afraid that, and we agree, that he might show up at the dance. That's why we tried the ol' 'cousins' cover."
The fox's expression quickly turns to a smirk. "You two can come to the dance. If anyone asks, you two are my nieces." Valletta winks before all four females start laughing.
But that ends incredibly fast when Sam's cellphone rings.
"Sammantha 'Sam' Jones speaking."
"Sammie, we have a slight problem: somehow a little kid on a sugar rush got in our house and vandalized your dresses."
At that, the cat grabs her friend and speeds through the door while shouting a thank you to the wind.
"No!" Both teens cry out. A.J.'s dress was splattered with red on the skirt while Sam's is cover with glue and gold glitter.
"Now what?" Sam asks defeatedly. "We can't go in these."
"If there is anything good that came from being in the system," A.J. monotones. "It's knowing how to fix this kind of mess…"
It's the night of the dance, and currently all girls present are looking fabulous. Even Lizza looks nice, even with her jacket still tied around her waist.
But where are our detectives you may ask? Sam and A.J. are outside doing a final briefing with Sam's father (who in turn is lending them with tranquilizer guns and a taser each). Vector and Espio (Charmy's still at Sam's Mom's place in the spare bedroom suffering a sugar crash) are inside dressed in a tuxedo as waiters.
Oddly enough, once inside Sam and A.J. meat up with Lizza and head over to Vector who just so happens to be holding the tray with the cider.
"I've wondered where your pay checks end up…I must say, I approve of your cause." Lizza states. She was wearing a rather simple dress with her jacket still tied around her waist and highlights still in the hair.
"Yea. Plus we get to be a bit like our role models." A.J. says a little bit embarrassed. She 'fixed' her dress to be a strapless wrap with a short skirt.
Sam just giggles. "Not to mention we turned the junior detective agency we started in pre-k into a real-deal business and we help my dad on some of his cases." Her dress is now a one-shoulder rosette, also with a short skirt.
Right as the three were about to get a drink, the Chaotix detectives present make a run for it.
"That was odd…"
At one point, Lizza said she needed to, ya know, go. The teens talked with others at the dance, met a few cute guys (but the boys interested were barking up the wrong trees. These two are single and proud of it.), and all together were having a good time until…
"Girls, we got a bogie by the kitchen door." Came Sam's dad over the walkie-talkie.
"We're on it Dad."
The two share a look that said 'Well, they're playing our favorite song…'
"LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN!" Lizza screeched like a banshee and bounding her captor in the back as he carried her over his shoulder.
"Shut your mouth, ya stinking wench!" He shouted. He was a raven, dressed in all black.
"You better put me down NOW! Or I'll pull all your freakin' tail feathers out!"
"I'd listen to her if I were you…" Came a voice from behind the captor. He turns to see Sam and A.J. with grim looks of determination and the guns pointed at the raven, he might have taken them seriously if they weren't in dresses.
He just laughs. "Is THIS the best the local law enforcement has to offer? Pathetic!"
Sam starts fuming. "We've done our research, Ryan."
A.J. stares at her best friend in confusion. "We did?"
"Ryan, you've been arrested and have broken out of prisons in over a hundred counties, stalked and kidnapped about the same number of girls, and no one, and I mean NO ONE, INSULTS MY DAD!" Sam shouted as she was about to unload the clip.
But no one prepared for a 440 pounded crocodile to barrel into the raven. Nor did anyone compensate for the just as shocked rabbits that is sent airborne screaming.
Well, almost anyone. Espio was able to catch her before she hit the ground.
"Vector, next time watch for any hostages."
"I just lost my balance."
Lizza has been quiet for a while, but now…"Hey, your kinda cute."
Now that Ryan is behind bars, Lizza, Sam, and A.J. came to a decision.
"Dad, could you?"
"You sure?" Sam's father asks.
The three girls nod. "They deserve it."
The next day, the Chaotix found a check with the reward money for catching the raven. But shortly afterward, Charmy on a sugar rush barges in.
Outside, the cat and echidna stare dumbfounded.
"You just had to give him a caffeine-free Pepsi, didn't you…" A.J. said in a deadpan.
"I assumed it would be sugar-free as well…"
Sorry for the long wait. Stupid writers block.
But anyway, R&R.
Leopardfur, hope you like this and I hope I kept your character in character.
Until next time.
