I'm back! And with a new chapter!

Shadow: Well, well, well! *cocks gun* if it isn't the liar.

Me: *Chuckles nervously* Hey Shadow, you're not mad about what happened in the last chapter, right?

Shadow: No.

Me: Phew!

Shadow: I'M FURIOUS! *points gun to my head*

Me: Eep! I DON'T OWN SONIC! ENJOY! WHO THE HELL KEEPS GIVING SHADOW A GUN?!

Chapter 9

The next day was just a normal day, like all the rest. Except we all know how true that is. It's about as true as Charmy saying that he didn't eat the last cookie in the cookie jar.

"But I swear! I didn't eat it! Promise!" Charmy whined, while getting held down on the floor by Aundrey.

"Tell the truth, Charmy! I saw the cookie crumbs on your face!" Aundrey said, holding him down.

"I am telling the truth! Seriously!" Charmy said, trying to escape Aundrey's grip on him.

"Ok. Don't tell me the truth. I'll just take out my little friend here..." Aundrey said, reaching in her pockets.

Charmy's eyes widened. "No...NO! Anything but that!" He begged.

"Will you tell me the truth?" Aundrey asked.

"I didn't eat it! I swear!"

Aundrey smirked. "Fine. You wanna do it the hard way?" She said, taking out a feather and tickling Charmy's feet.

"Noooo! Stop, sto- Ahahaha! No!" Charmy exclaimed.

"Now tell me. Did you eat my cookie?" Aundrey asked while tickling him.

Charmy gasped for breath before he could speak.

"Ahaha! No! Heheheh! I swear I didn't!" Charmy said, between laughs.

Espio walked into the kitchen and saw the two.

"Hey guys." He said, shrugging it off and walking to the refrigerator.

"Teeheee! Espio! hahahah! Tell Aundrey t-that you ate that last cookie!" Charmy attempted to say, with tears rolling down his face.

"The last cookie? Yeah I ate it. So?" Espio said, not looking away from the fridge.

Aundrey immediately got off of Charmy and tackled Espio, who still had his back turned to the fridge.

"Aah! What's wrong with you?!" Espio shouted, trying to fight off Aundrey.

"Did you eat my cookie?! You know I had dibs ever since...a long time ago!" Aundrey told him.

"No, I was not aware of that! Now get off of me!" Espio shouted, trying to fight off Aundrey.

Vector came into the kitchen and saw the two. He let out a giant sigh, and facepalmed.

"Stop fighting! Ms. Vanilla is still asleep, and if one of you wakes her up, you're atomatically dead!" Vector threatened.

"Vector, Espio ate my cookie." Aundrey tattled.

"Espio..."

"I swear I didn't know it belonged to her! Honest!" Espio said.

"Will you come to the store with me to buy me another?" Aundrey asked him.

"Yes." Espio answered automatically.

"Thank goodness that today's the last day for that damn game!" He thought.

Vector smiled at the two. "Aw, see? You're getting along. Good job." Vector said, walking out of the kitchen.

As soon as Vector was no where in sight, Aundrey smiled evilly at Espio.

"What do you want?" Espio asked, sighing.

Aundrey hesitated before answering. "I...I want you to hook Sonic and I up." She said quietly.

"What?"

"I said, I want you to hook Sonic and I up!" Aundrey said, louder.

Espio looked at her, surprised. Aundrey seriously had feelings for Sonic?

"Why should I help you?" Espio asked.

"Will you help me?"

"Yes."

"Good boy." Aundrey told him as if he were a dog. "Now come on before someone else claims him!"

"Hey you guys!" Charmy called out to Aundrey and Espio.

They looked at Charmy, who was still on the floor.

"Can I come? I wanna watch Aundrey get rejected too!" Charmy said.

"Shut up, I'm not gonna get rejected!" Aundrey said angrily.

"So, can I come?"

"I don't care. Come on, we're leaving now."

The 3 set out to go to Sonic's house.

About 15 minutes later...

"Ugh, where is it?!" Aundrey asked, getting frustrated. "We've been walking for decades!"

"Keep calm, Aundrey. We have to take a bus, remember?" Espio told her.

"What?! How come we didn't have to take a bus to get there in the last chapter?!" Aundrey snapped.

"Because this author-" Espio was cut off by Shadow coming out of no where, aiming a gun at the two.

"...I mean, I guess Sonic moved and now we have to take the bus, I guess!" Espio said, laughing nervously.

"But-"

"Aundrey...!" Espio whispered, with his eyes darting towards an angry-looking Shadow.

"I'll be quiet."

Shadow nodded, and disappeared from the scene.

"Hey, where's Charmy? He was here a minute ago." Espio said.

With Charmy...

"Espio? Aundrey? Where are you guys?" Charmy called out, flying up and down a street.

Charmy had apparently wandered off, and he had no clue to where he was.

"Where are you guys?!" Charmy shouted out again.

Just then, Amy came up to Charmy holding an ice cream cone, smiling.

"Hey little guy! Want an ice cream?" She asked.

Charmy shook his head. "No, I don't take ice cream from strangers. Especially ugly strangers..." Charmy said, saying the last part quietly.

Amy ignored his comment. "What?! I'm not a stranger! I'm best friends with your friend, Aundrey!" Amy exclaimed.

"Well one, just because you are friends with her doesn't mean I'll be your friend. And two, AUNDREY?! MY FRIEND?! PFFT! Nice joke. Later." Charmy said, turning away and leaving.

"NO!" Amy said, pulling out an empty potato sack and throwing Charmy inside it. "You are NOT going back to those two! Not until I get what I want!"

"Mmmh!" Charmy said from the bag.

"Huh? I'm sorry, what was that?" Amy said, opening the bag a little.

"I said...GET ME OUT OF HERE YOU NUT! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" Charmy shouted.

Amy smirked evilly at him. "Glad you asked. You see, Sonic is MINE, ALL MINE. I know Aundrey likes him too, and when I overheard that you guys were going to Sonic's house, I knew she was going to confess her love for him. And we both know that I can't have that, now do we?" She said.

"Question: When and where were you when you overheard that conversation?" Charmy asked her.

"In your refrigerator." Amy answered, as if that was normal.

Charmy gasped.

"After Aundrey ran away from the party the other day, she dropped her house key. So I decided to test it out."

"Ok, I get that you don't want Aundrey and Sonic going out, but what does all of this have to do with me being in this bag which I can hardly breathe out of?!" Charmy exclaimed.

"You are my ransom, of course! But instead of wanting money, I simply want Aundrey to leave Sonic alone! FOREVER! She will be given her first warning via text messaging. If she fails to comply, we will be forced to take desperate measures." Amy explained.

"Hold on! Who is 'we'?" Charmy asked.

"Cream, Blaze, and I. If Aundrey refuses to leave Sonic alone the first time, Cream and Blaze will torture her and Espio on their trip to Sonic's house! That is, IF she makes it..." Amy said, chuckling.

"Can I go home?" Charmy whined.

"WHAT DID I JUST TELL YOU?!" Amy shouted at him.

Charmy started to cry inside of the bag. Amy opened the sack and threw the ice cream cone she was holding earlier in it.

"There! Yummy ice cream will make the dumb brat shut up!" Amy said, taking out her phone.

"I'm being quiet because I want to." Charmy muttered, eating the ice cream.

Back with Espio and Aundrey...

"Dude, we've been freaking searching all over the place for Charmy! Maybe he went home?" Aundrey said.

"Why would he go home? He said he wanted to come watch you get rejected." Espio told her.

Aundrey scowled at him. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I am not going to get rejected!"

"Whatever! We can't go anywhere until we find Charmy!" Espio insisted.

"Ugh, fine. Can we at least look for Charmy in the direction where Sonic's house is?"

"NO!"

"Ughhh..." Aundrey groaned.

But first, lemme take a selfie...

Espio glared at Aundrey. "This is no time for taking selfies!"

"That was my phone, you ding-dong. I got a text." Aundrey answered, checking her phone.

"Whose it from? Is it from Charmy?" Espio asked.

"No. It doesn't say..." She scrolled down to see the entire message.

From: Unknown

I have your bee friend! If you want him, leave Sonikku alone, and I'll happily return him to you!

Aundrey: Who are you?

Unknown: Uh. Does that really matter?

Aundrey: It kinda does...

Unknown: Don't worry about who I am! Just leave my Sonic alone and I'll let your annoying bee friend go!

Aundrey: Sonic? But I'm going to ask him out.

Unknown: The hell you aren't! Leave him alone and go home, or I'll be forced to torture you and Espio!

Aundrey: Cool story bro. Bye.

"Well?" Espio asked Aundrey.

"Oh. It was just some spam. Let's go! Sonic's house is this way!" Aundrey said.

"What about Charmy? We still have to look for him."

"He's fine. Now let's GO!" Aundrey pulled Espio on the bus with her.

With Charmy and um, Amy...

"Cool story bro? COOL STORY BRO?!" Amy shouted, kicking the sack.

"OOF! Hey, I am in here, you know!" Charmy yelled.

"Your dumb co-workers failed to give me what I want. Do you know what that means?" Amy asked calmly.

"It means I get to go home and get out of this sack?" Charmy asked hopefully.

"NO! IT MEANS YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, ANYTIME SOON!" Amy snapped.

She took out her phone and began to dial a number.

"I'm all out of ice cream." Charmy informed Amy.

"SHUT IT!... Hello, Cream? Blaze? You know what to do." Amy said, hanging up.

"Can I get some more ice cream?" Charmy asked again.

"You can get a knuckle sandwich."

"That sounds delicious! What kind of ingredients are in a knuckle sandwich? I hope there's no mustard because mustard gets stuck in my braces at times and I taste it later on-" Charmy was cut off by Amy closing the sack.

"God, I tried to give the kid air but damn!" She said to herself.

Espio and Aundrey...

"Are you sure this is the part of Mobius where Sonic and Tails lives?" Espio asked.

"Dude we were here just the other day. Stop being so scared." Aundrey told him.

"I'm not scared. I just don't like this part of Mobius. It's dangerous." Espio said.

Aundrey and Espio continued to walk. Little did they know, a rabbit and a cat was watching them both from a distance.

"This is pointless. Doesn't Amy know that Sonic-" Blaze said, but stopped once she saw Espio and Aundrey go into an alleyway.

"Here they come! Get ready!" Cream said.

"Did you hear something?" Espio asked.

"Yeah. Maybe we're being followed. Take Espio and not me!" Aundrey joked.

"Ha-ha." Espio said, rolling his eyes.

There was a whirling noise coming from the end of the alleyway. Espio and Aundrey slowly turned around, and saw what looked like a mechanical flying bee.

Due to it being kind of dark in the alley, Espio and Aundrey thought that it was Charmy.

"Charmy? Is that you?" Espio asked.

No response.

"Charmy!" Aundrey called out.

The figure came closer to the two. Espio managed to get a better view and gasped.

"It's a badnik!" Espio shouted, pushing Aundrey out of the way before it attacked.

"What's a badnik?" Aundrey asked.

"One of Dr. Eggman's robots. He must be somewhere nearby..." Espio said.

"No, no Robotnik. Just me!" Said a voice.

Aundrey and Espio looked up to see a familiar face.

"AMY?!" They both exclaimed.

"That's right."

"So you're the one who sent me that message that said 'I had your bee friend!' Aundrey said.

"What bee friend? Are you talking about-"

Amy held up the sack that had Charmy in it. She gave it a small kick.

"Oww! Espio help me!" Charmy pleaded.

"You don't want me to help you?" Aundrey asked.

"You?! You ignored the text that she sent you saying that I was kidnapped in the first place!" Charmy shouted.

"Charmy was kidnapped and you didn't even tell me?!" Espio shouted.

"Oh. I thought that text was spam." Aundrey said, embarrassed.

"Figures an idiot like you would think that. I have to go see my Sonikku, now. Blaze, Cream, release the rest of the badniks." Amy said, dropping Charmy and walking away.

As soon as she walked away, a swarm of badniks came to attack Espio, Aundrey, and Charmy, who was still in the sack.

"What do we do?" Aundrey asked, scared.

"I recommend we run!" Espio said.

"Good call!"

The two set off to run.

"Mmmhh!" Charmy said from inside the sack.

"Oh. Right." Aundrey said, dumping Charmy out of the sack.

"Well at least you can do SOMETHING right!" Charmy told her.

"Shut up and run!"

The three started running towards Sonic's house.

"Wait, shouldn't we be going home?" Espio asked while running.

"Well, no! We need someone to kill these robot thingys. And I'm going to murder Amy with my bare hands for trying to steal Sonic away from me!" Aundrey told him.

"Sheesh. If I wanted drama, I could've watched Degrassi..." Charmy mumbled.

The three finally reached Sonic and Tails' house.

"Well? Aren't you going to knock?" Espio asked her.

"Or are you chicken? Bawk, bawk, bawk- OW!" Charmy exclaimed, rubbing his head that had been hit by Aundrey.

Unfortunately, the badniks caught up, saw their targets, and attempted to shoot at them.

"Quick! Knock on the door!" Espio said.

Aundrey frantically knocked on the door. An orange fox came to it.

"Hey, I'm tails! Who are-"

"There isn't time for introductions! Where's Sonic?!" Aundrey asked him.

"Uh, he just went out with Amy. I think they went to the park or something."

"Ok, thanks!" Aundrey and the rest ran to the park.

"Blaze, they're going to the park! We need more badniks!" Cream said.

"I got it covered." Blaze said, pressing a button.

Badniks started to pour from all over the place.

"Ok, turn it off, now!" Cream told Blaze.

"The button's jammed! It won't stop!" Blaze exclaimed, rapidly pressing the button.

"Are we, *huff, huff*, are we close, yet?" Charmy panted.

"Not even close. Did we lose the badniks?" Aundrey asked.

"You guys..." Espio said, pointing to the large swarm of badniks that surrounded them.

"Crap." Aundrey said in a quiet voice.
