Sonic's Journal
April 1st
Well today was funny. I pulled off an april fools prank which was rather successful even if I say so myself. Yesterday me and Tails built a replica Master Emerald out of plastic which looked remarkably like the real one. Early this morning we switched the fake emerald with the really one and later smashed the replica to pieces in front of Knuckles. I'll never forget the look of horror on his face when we did that, the gullible prat thought it was the real one. It was even more funny to see the look of anger and embarrassment when we later revealed it was only a fake emerald and the real one was in fact perfectly safe. That'll teach him to steal my journal. Which by the way is being kept safe away from everyone else.
April 2nd
Aww the Olympic events finish this month. It's a shame. I actually had fun doing them and I just don't know what I'll do with my time when they are over. Mind you giving how unpredictable this world is I'm sure there will be something to do.
April 3rd
People are still making funny remarks about my journal. It's been going on ever since Knuckles showed it to Amy. It's getting really annoying now, though on the plus side Knuckles can equally share my annoyance and embarrassment as I naturally told everyone about my April fools prank. What goes around comes around Knucklehead.
April 4th
Wow I was certainly surprised today. I headed off to play some tennis matches with Nights, Ulala and Amigo but when I got there I found someone else with them. Alex Kidd. Apparently he was around shortly before I was and nobody has seen him in years, although he looks really small and young. So we ended up playing some doubles tournaments which was great fun. Me and Alex made a great team, apart from the time he punched a hole through he's racket in annoyance. Still,we won the tournament and he offered to teach me Janken sometime.
April 5th
Well the next event is arranged for the 10th and I am not looking forward to it for two reasons. One, it's fencing, meaning I'm going to be prodded and poked with a stick and two, I'm being put against Amy. Great, this is all I need right now. Though Amy was worried as she was scared of actually hurting me, even though that isn't possible as the epees are not sharp enough for any serious damage.
April 6th
Tails is really worried, he's got to face against Wario in the fencing event and he's quite scared about it. Poor kid, and there was me thinking Amy was bad. I also find it odd how Shadow was paired against Peach. He seemed a lot more emo than usual afterwards though, I think it's because Peach resembles Maria. Maybe I should warn her about it.
April 7th
I met up with Alex Kidd today and we had some fun with Janken. Well, I wouldn't go right to fun, after all sitting there and selecting one of three symbols with your hand isn't the most exciting game in the world. But I guess it was alright for today, especially when chillidogs and other stuff were at stake. I also tried teaching him how to run fast but he was just to slow. The best thing was today took my mind of the fencing event which is only three days away now.
April 8th
We were all summoned to the stadium today to try out the epee's for the fencing. They were longer than expected and surprisingly thin but I guess they are suitable enough for the event. We were told to practice on straw dummies which was lame as they don't fight back but I know Amy will so I best be prepared.
April 9th
I am really dreading tommorow and predictably today has felt really long and despite that, I can't really think much to write about today as nothing much has happened. Everyones been talking about tomorrows event and that hasn't helped me at all.
April 10th
No medals but I came 8th overall. Amy beat me and accused me of purposely letting her win which I kind of did. It was hard enough trying to hit her and she kept poking me with her epee all the time so I just basically gave up. It was too still for me anyway, I like events that require a lot of movement. I also had to play against Mario, Blaze, Daisy, Shadow and Yoshi. I beat some of them, especially Shadow who didn't even seem to bother. I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought but I'm still glad the days over.
April 11th
Mario informed me that he was involved in some grand prix races today and asked if I wanted to watch. I did go as I didn't know what the next Olympic event is so I can't practise it should I need to. It was weird watching other people race, especially as they were all using karts and bikes whereas I would normally just run. Everyone from Marios side were in the races, as well as one or two people I didn't recognise, though their bikes all had 'Mii' stamped on the side, whatever that means. Luigi won overall but the race was fun to watch, mainly because people kept attacking each other with shells, lightning and other unusual items. And the places where they raced looked pretty awesome too.
April 12th
Well after the latest event I hope the next event is better. I know I got a fair few medals but a few more wouldn't hurt. Spent most of the day with Tails, who's confidence took a huge beating as everyone beat him in fencing. People kept teasing him about it, namely Shadow, Wario and Waluigi but hopefully he'll get over it in time for the next event.
April 13th
Today we were informed that the next event is on the 16th and it's the table tennis event, another event where I'm practically standing still. I hate these still events, I want speed! Sometimes I wish I had joined in that race with Mario a few days a go.
April 14th
After the recent tennis events Amy wanted to challenge me so we headed to green hill for some random matches. I admit she was pretty good but I still beat her overall, especially with my special attack using the chaos emeralds. Amy then went off to find other people to play against, she can be a bit of a bad loser sometimes.
April 15th
Not much point in practicing tomorrows event as its too easy and simple anyway. Today has been very lazy, most of us have just been discussing the event and wondering who were going to be playing against. Odd thing is table tennis doesn't really feel much of an Olympic game but hey if it means winning another medal then I'm willing to play
April 16th
What a disappointment. I came fifth so I didn't win any medals. Still, Tails won the gold medal so I'm very pleased for him. I had to play him first but after we drew 4-4 I let him win since he failed the last event but I won't tell him that. I also played against Waluigi, Luigi, Vector, Daisy and Knuckles. I won most of them although I lost of Knuckles and Waluigi. I suppose fifth place isn't bad but I still wish I'd won a medal. At least the gold medal went to the person who most deserved it. Tails must be so proud of himself.
April 17th
Only two more events left and the whole thing will be over. Shame but I got a handful of medals to remind myself of the great time I've had. I likely won't see Mario again after these events either. We may have rivalry but we've got on well and I'll miss those guys, I won't be admitting that to anyone though. People will start thinking I'm soft.
April 18th
YES! The next event is a running event! That's made me happy, I'm sure to get a medal here. Problem is it's a 4 x 100m relay so we are doing it in teams of four, meaning that my victory will depend on who I'm racing with. I hope they are fast, I really want to win this one. It's not until the 22nd though.
April 19th
The people at the stadium are so stubborn. They refuse to tell me who I'm running with and they won't say until the day of the event. Great, that means I won't be able to round up my team and work out the best way of beating the other teams.
April 20th
Apparently Amy's been telling everyone she's on my team yet they are refusing to tell us who's on our teams so how does she know? I'll have to ask her about it because if she knows who's on who's team that would be a great help. I haven't been able to find her all day though. Typical, she's always around when you don't want her and when you do want her she vanishes.
April 21st
Females are so annoying, turns out Amy didn't know who is on who's team, she was only telling people she was on my team because "it's fate", "it's obvious", "fated lovers are always drawn together" and stuff like that. I got my hopes up for nothing, I'll never know who's on my team till the event tommorow. I just feel really annoyed right now.
April 22nd
Amy wasn't in my team after all. My team was Knuckles, Mario and Peach. Neither of them were as fast as me but we still beat the other teams and got a gold medal each. The second team of Bowser, Amy, Daisy and Tails came third, they would probably have beaten our team if Bowser wasn't so stupidly slow, Amy and Tails got a bronze medal though so I'm pleased for them. The third team of Vector, Shadow, Luigi and Waluigi came 2nd and got the silver medals and team four lost but then they had Wario and Eggman on their team so it's hardly surprising, though Blaze and Yoshi did rather well.
April 23rd
Two more events to go. The next one is cycling in two days time and we can go to the stadium tommorow to try out the bikes. In all honesty I'm not looking forward to it at all. I've never used a bike before because I can out run them any day and this event is just going to be too slow.
April 24th
As I predicted, the bikes are very slow, I would have got a gold medal easily if I wasn't forced to use these stupid things. I can't even ride them as fast as I like because the bikes can't handle my speed. Another event I'm going to fail in. I guess you can't win them all.
April 25th
I came third and got a bronze medal, which was better than I expected. The event was quite funny too, Bowser broke the bike half way because it couldn't take his weight, Knuckles nearly snapped the handle bars off where he held them so tight and the wheels fell of Shadows bike, which really embarrassed him. I wonder if anyone tampered with them. Either way the event was quite funny and I got a bronze medal so I guess it wasn't all that bad.
April 26th
Added the bronze medal to the rest of my collection. The final event is on the 29th and it's 400 metre hurdles, why they never stuck the 400m hurdles with the 110 metre hurdles is beyond me but at least we finish on event that I'm pretty sure I'm going to win.
April 27th
We were invited to the stadium to try out the hurdles for the final event. I can't really see the point though, we've seen them before and we basically done this event before, it's just longer that's all. Everyone still had a go jumping over the hurdles though, or jumping into them in some peoples cases.
April 28th
It's amazing how fast this month has gone. It feels only yesterday we played that april fools prank on Knuckles. We plan on having a big party once the events are over to celebrate the end of the Olympic games, even though they have been pretty fun.
April 29th
Well I didn't exactly get gold but I got silver which is good enough for me. Yoshi got the gold but I probably would have done if I hadn't accidently knocked into a hurdles, it was a long event though and 400 metres was a long way to run, especially when theres hurdles in the way. Got another medal though which was a great way to end the events.
April 30th
Apparently the events are not over yet, we were informed today that next month is the last events and they are special 'dream' events, whatever that means, so that's more medals up for grabs and it definitely sounds interesting so we've held off the end-of-games party till after these final events. Can't wait for them.
