AMY'S DIARY
Chapter 10
"The Amusement Park Fiasco"
Part 8
"A bungle in the jungle"
Everyone loved the tea cups ride. ("Amy, I don't think I like the Tea Cups anymore," Cream said as she rinsed her mouth out a few times in the bathroom sink, "and I'm sorry I threw up on you."
"That's okay Cream, good thing they have a couple hand dryers in here." Amy had rinsed out her dress and was busy drying it under one of the bathroom hand dryers. She had her socks and shoes drying under another one. She kept going back and forth from dryer to dryer hitting the button when they stopped blowing out hot air. "Besides, this just gives me an excuse to buy a new dress. Well, I think they're dry enough and it's still warm outside, I think the sun will dry them completely. Let's go." She gave her dress one more rub under the dryer, put it on and then put her socks and shoes back on.)
After fixing my hair in the restroom, I noticed a huge crowd around Sonic. (The girls left the bathroom and started walking over to where the others were standing. Amy notices the same yellow cat walk away from them. She quickly rushes over.)
He is so popular, but that never bothers me. ("What was she doing here?" Amy accused Sonic.
"Her name is Tawny and she's new in town." Knuckles offered smiling, "Sonic invited her to join us.")
I love the way Sonic is always thinking of others. ("You did what?!? I'm away from you for a little while and you're making dates behind my back? Just for that, I am never speaking to you again. Come on Cream, let's get out of here!" she began dragging Cream away.)
But he never lets his popularity stand in the way of our love. (Sonic ran up to her, "Amy, wait!" he put his hand on her shoulder, "Tawny just stopped to ask us where the picnic area was. She's new in town and has never been here before. I felt bad that she was by herself and asked if she wanted to join us. But she said she had to meet her parents for lunch. Why do you always get like that Amy?"
Amy stopped and folded her arms, "Don't you know?" she whispered.
"No…no, I don't know." Amy turned around. Sonic stood there with a puzzled look on his face, "but you can't act like that every time you see me walking next to a girl or talking to a girl. It creeps me out alright? Come on; let's go back, we're here to have fun remember?" he holds out his hand to her, "besides, it's nice to have some fun without that Eggman and his stupid robots around."
Amy looks at Sonics' hand and then looks at his face. Sonic gives her his trade mark half smile. The smile that always makes her weak in the knees. She takes his hand and smiles, "You owe me one."
"One what?" Sonic asks as they walk back to join the others. Cream follows them.)
There is no gift as precious as true love. ("A new dress!" Amy announces as they join the others and pass by a gift shop.
After what seemed like forever with Amy trying on dress after dress, she finally picks a red one that said Twinkle Park on the front of it. "So, what ride should we go on next?" She asked while modeling her new dress.)
The Tea Cups was fun, but we were all ready for some adventure. ("Uh…if…if it's ok with everyone," Cream stuttered, "I think I'd like to go on something slow." Everyone agreed.
So I suggested the Jungle Safari ride. ("Duh, how about the Jungle Safari, that's a slow ride." Big suggested.
"Good idea Big," wow, I never thought I would ever say that, Knuckles thought, "Ok everyone, off to the Jungle Safari ride!"
On their way, they almost get run over by Vector, Espio and Charmy. "Hey guys," Knuckles said while jumping out of the way, "what are you all running for, Amy's right here!" WHACK!
"Someone…figured out…we were…skipping…in line." Vector said between gasps of air.
"Well, that's what you get for cutting!" Amy whacked all three of them upside the head. WHACK!
Sonic grabbed me and pulled me close. ("Amy, give me that thing before someone gets hurt." Sonic snagged the hammer out of Amy's hands.
"Oh Sonic, you have such a big heart!" Amy threw her arms around him.
He says just holding me takes his breath away. ("Amy…can't….breath…AMY!"
Finally they entered the line for the Jungle Safari ride. "G'day mates, your casting off too Oi see." A young raccoon was in line in front of them.
"Duh, hi Marine, we're going on the Jungle Safari ride."
"Ya don't say, Oi've been on here 22 times myself mates, so Oi'll show ye the ropes! Oi'm the captain!" the raccoon pointed to a sailor hat she wore on her head.
Sonic was so excited; he couldn't wait to get on board. (As the line moved forward and they approached the boat dock, Sonic stared nervously at the water. "Uh…I just remembered, this is a boat ride, and I forgot how much water there is…"
"Well of course there is mate, can't have a boat ride without any water." The raccoon noticed the nervous look on Sonics' face, "Yar not still 'fraid of a wee bit of water are ya?"
"Uh…that looks more than a wee bit to me." Sonic replied, his eyes still fixed on the water. In front of them was a jungle themed lake where they waited for the next boat to arrive.
Tails leaned over to Marine and said quietly, "he still can't swim."
"Ah….if drownings ya 'fraid of, have nothing t'fear, you can sit with me cause Oi'm the captain, Oi'll keep ya safe." Marine reached out to put her hand on Sonics' shoulder.
And of course he wanted to sit with me. ("Touch him, you die!" Amy had a pico pico hammer in her hands, "he sits with me!" she grabbed his arm.
"Oi see ya still as feisty as Oi remember Amy, glad ta have ya aboard." she turned to face the ride attendant. "Hi ya Pete!"
"Hello Marine, here again surprise surprise, and you brought some friends along this time." A beaver as big as Big said, he had a mike in his hand waiting for the next boat to arrive.
"Can Oi do the announcing again Pete? Can Oi, can Oi, can Oi?" Marine asked the beaver.
"Gee, I don't know, if my boss finds out…" The beaver looked around nervously rubbing his chin.
"Ah…pretty pleasy weasy? Oi promise Oi won't try t'steer the boat again into the waterfall, Oi just want t'announce this time." The raccoon looked up at him with her big blue eyes.
"Well, alright, but this be the very last time." He handed the mike to her. "And after this, I don't want ya coming back ya hear? The Buccaneers of the Caribbean is a boat ride too ya know."
"Thank ye Pete." Marine placed the mike to her mouth. "Look yonder mates, our boat be approaching." They all looked and saw a small cruise boat approach the dock. As the boat was emptied, Marine leaped aboard, "get ready t'set sail mates, hast the main line, scrub the decks, lift the anchor, hoist the sails, shimber me timbers…"
"Wow" Charmy piped up, "she's more annoying with a mike than you Vector."
"Yeah…she's more annoying than me…hey! I resemble that remark." So, she thinks she can take over my show huh, Vector thought to himself, I'll show her. He climbed aboard next followed by Espio and Charmy.
"Who next be brave enough to enter the jungle safari?" Marine asked the rest of them.
"I'm the bravest here," Knuckles bragged, "I'm the keeper of the Master Emerald after all." He climbed in next.
"Duh, come on Tails, let's go on a safari adventure. Can I do any fishing here?" Big asked the raccoon once he and Tails climbed aboard.
"There be no fishing here I'm afraid, unless you like t'catch some parani."
"Duh, are pa ra ni good to eat?"
"Who else be brave enough t'come aboard?" Marine continued, ignoring Big.
Loud jungle drums could be heard now in the distance. Cream took Shadow's hand and looked up at him with her big brown eyes, "Can you hold my hand as we enter Shadow? I don't want to trip."
Shadow looked down at Creams' hand in his. He sighed, raised his hand lifting her off the ground and tossed her inside the boat. "WHEEEEEE!" she cried out landing in the seat next to Tails.
"There, your safe ok? Now, stay over there!" Shadow climbed aboard and sat down across from her.
She sat there with a huge smile on her face. "Thank you Mr. Shadow!"
"Don't mention it…ever!" Shadow folded his arms, closed his eyes and leaned back.
Sonic is so sweet, he picked me up and carried me into the boat. ("Come…on… Sonic," Amy began pulling a very reluctant Sonic into the boat. He had grabbed hold of a rope and was holding onto it for dear life. "You'll be…safe…with me…, I promise." Amy tugged with all her might. The rope became undone and WHOOSH! BAM! They both fell into the boat.
The boat moved away from the dock, "Thank ye for casting us off Sonic. Now Dingo," Marine said to a leopard at the wheel, "let's get t'sailin'." She turned back to the others, "Now, Oi be Captain Marine and Oi'll tell ya what yar seein' as ya see it…" she began to describe the scenery around them making bad jokes along the way.
Sonic pulled himself onto his seat and nervously looked over the edge.)
Others were afraid to enter, but Sonic was very reassuring. ("Don't worry Sonikkins," Amy said snuggling up to him, "I'll protect you."
"What if the boat gets a leak?"
"It's not going to get a leak."
"But what if the boat tips over?"
"It's not going to tip over!" Amy said. "It would take a lot of weight to make this boat tip!"
"Then make sure you and Big sit on opposite sides of the boat!" Knuckles kidded.
"Are you calling me fat?!?" Amy shrieked. Ka-Boom! "There, see, Sonic? I can protect you just fine!"
"Yeah, but who's going to protect me from you?" Sonic muttered.
"What did you say?!?"
"Nothing!"
Marine was pointing to their right, "Now if ye look over thar, ya see some cargo floaten from the last boat that sunk…"
"Sunk?" Sonic cried out and put his arms around Amy.
"That's right Sonic, I'll protect you."
"Huh?" Sonic noticing he was holding on to Amy, quickly let go and leaped to the front of the boat almost falling over board. He stood there for a second flapping his arms, "Woa, whoa, whoa…"
Amy had her hammer out, "Get back over here so I can protect you, or else!"
Sonic stopped flapping his arms once he regained his balance and looked overboard, "WATER!" he yelled and ran to the back of the boat, "MORE WATER!!" he ran back to the front of the boat and looked down, "EVEN MORE WATER!!!" Sonic did this a few more times before Knuckles tripped him. "OOFF!" He landed on his face.
"Quick Shadow, I'll hold him and you get the rope!" Knuckles held the blue hedgehog down.)
Sonic stuck with me like glue. (Shadow grabbed the rope that Sonic had pulled loose from the dock and tied him up. "Hey, this is turning out to be a fun ride after all." Shadow said as he and Knuckles picked up Sonic now tied up and dropped him next to Amy, "Here you go….Happy Birthday!"
"Yippee…now you sit there Sonikkins while I protect you from the bad ol' water." Amy held him close.
"Water….so much water…." Sonic mumbled, his eyes glazing over.
"Hey," Marine said noticing Sonic all tied up, "that reminds me of a song," she began to sing very loudly, "Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down…tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down Oi! Now if there be no more interruptions, Oi'd like to point out some jungle ruins…" Marine began explaining the scenery, "Now here to our left, we see…"
"Three deadly cobras ready to strike their next victim…" Vector interrupted dramatically.
"Exactly," Marine stared at Vector for a moment before continuing, "and to our right, we see some…"
"And to our right my friends, we see some wild gorillas throwing cargo from a jeep and…" Vector interrupted again.
"And now flipping the jeep over and…" Marine continued getting frustrated.
"Going through the cargo and trying on all the clothes…"
"Hey there, you…stop interrupting me…" Marine pointed her finger at Vector.
"Interrupting you? You're interrupting me!" Vector grabbed the mike away from the raccoon.
"What?!?" Marine grabbed the mike trying to pull it away, "Oi'm the Captain!"
"Yeah…but it's my show!" Vector and Marine pulled back and forth on the mike. For being smaller than Vector, she was quite strong. "My mike!" Vector demanded.
"Moine!" Marine pulled.
"Gimme!" Vector pulled.
"Hands off, hoser!"
"Uhm…guys? Please don't fight…you're rocking the boat!" Cream held onto her seat.
"Hey you two, you're scaring Cream!" Tails put his arm around her.
"Yeah…stop scaring Cream or I'm going to sting the both of you!" Charmy sat on the other side of her.
"Take off! Oi'm the captain! Oi'll tell 'em what they're seein'!"
"I'm warning you two!" the leopard yelled. He tried to take the microphone from them. They knocked him down, stepped on him, and kept on fighting.
"Mine!"
"Moine!"
"You're funny looking!" Vector stuck his tongue out at her.
"Have ye seen a mirror, ye great green blighter!"
"Everyone sit down and stop rocking the boat this instance!" the leopard yelled. Vector and Marine stopped fighting over the mike.
Marine pulled the mike from his hand, "Ah… ya be a worthy opponent Vector, but Oi' be the Captain of this ship. Now, quiet down before Oi' make ye walk the plank!" Vector quickly sat down.
"I like her," Espio said to Charmy.
The boat continued to go past several more scenes, "Ah…now here we see a family of elephants, aren't they cute? Go ahead and take pictures mates, they've got their trunks on. Hahahahhaha…."
"Ahhh…look Cheese, aren't those baby elephants adorable?" Cream said as she started to enjoy the ride.
"Chou chou!"
"Ya can tell those zebras over thar are really old, thar' still in black and white. Hahahahahahaha….and see, they must of just gotten out of jail, notice the black and white pinstripes? Hahahahahaha….."
Everybody groaned. "Oh brother…" Knuckles rolled his eyes.
Marine continued, "And now we are entering dangerous head hunting territory, not a good place to be headed. So please settle down, we wouldn't want anyone to… lose their head…hahahahhaha….And there be Trading Joe," she pointed to a native holding a dozen shrunken heads, "he'd like t'trade two of his heads…for one of yars. Hahahahahaha…."
"Oh my," Cream remembered the gypsy head in the Haunted Museum ride.
Soon the boat came to a waterfall, "and now Oi'd like ya t'see something not many get t'see, the backside of a waterfall…" Marine continued.)
Sonic just loves waterfalls. ("WATERFALL?!?" Sonic exclaimed.
The leopard steered the small cruise boat and it went right behind the waterfall and slowed down. Sonics' eyes grew huge as he gazed at water falling quickly down all around them. "We're going to drown; we're all going to drown!" Sonic began struggling furiously with the ropes. "Help! Somebody help me!"
"Here we go again." Knuckles looked at Shadow and rolled his eyes.)
He got all romantic and tried to kiss me. ("Sonic, I told you I'd protect you. Now settle down and give me a kissy wissy…" Amy puckered up and leaned toward Sonic.
Sonic broke free from the ropes and quickly ran over to the leopard and grabbed the wheel. "Hey, you can't do that!" the leopard yelled, "Let go of the wheel!" The two of them both had a hold of the wheel and was turning it back and forth.
"WHOAAA…whoaaa….WHOOAAAA….." everyone cried out.
The boat began tilting back and forth rapidly splashing water on everyone. The boat just barely missed going under the waterfall and began turning around in circles. The boat slowly spun around and around while Sonic and Dingo the leopard fought over the wheel.
"Amy!" Cream cried out, "Please…do something…"
"Chou chou!" Cheese hid in Cream's shirt.
"I don't…want to spin….anymore!" Cream put her hands over her mouth.)
The Jungle Safari ride was so much fun! (Amy pulled out her hammer and carefully made her way over to Sonic. "I…told you…to settle down!" She swung her hammer at Sonic. Unfortunately, the boat swung quickly around in the opposite direction and the hammer came down upon the leopards' head instead. WHACK! The leopard stumbled and fell headfirst over the railing into the water below.
The leopard came up out of the water shaking his fist. "Get back over here you crazy kids; just wait till I get my hands on you…"
Sonic had fallen against the speed control of the boat and set it on high. The boat raced off and left the leopard splashing in the water.
"Quick," Knuckles grabbed the wheel, "let's get out of here!" The boat spun wildly a few times before heading back to the dock.
"Uh….I don't mean to alarm anyone," Cream began nervously, "but aren't we approaching the dock pretty fast?"
"It seems as if ladies and gentlemen, that we are approaching the end of our ride, and very quickly I might add!" Vector cried out watching the dock come up to him faster and faster.
"Hey you, stop announcing, Oi'm the captain of this ship and Oi say we're approaching…TOO FAST! Slow this boat down now or we're all going t'crash!" Marine pointed at Sonic, "Yar the great hero aint ya? Do something!"
Sonic was panicking too much to do anything as he watched the water rush quickly past them.
"Ah never mind, ya'll just a bunch of yella belly sapsuckers!"
"Yella belly saywhaties? Hey, toots," Vector said, "you say you're the captain? So do something!"
"'Course Oi'm the captain, mates!" Marine said, taking the wheel from knuckles. "Hmm. This isn't like the boats at 'ome! Oi'll have to take that into consideration!"
"Cream! Tails! Save yourselves!" Sonic yelled.
"We're not leaving the rest of you guys!" Tails said.
They were now heading right for the next boat. "What are you doing?" the captain of the next boat yelled. "Swerve, you dunderheads!")
Such a carefree ride. ("Marine!" Amy yelled. "We're gonna die here!"
"Don't distract me, mate! Let's try...this!" They just barely missed the other boat. Now they were heading towards the pier at full speed!
"Save us, Sonic!" Amy cried, hugging him.
"Can't breath!" Sonic gasped.
"We're gonna crash!" Cream cried.
"Chao chao!"
Froggy climbed out of Bigs' pocket and leaped toward the edge of the boat.
"Froggy, come back!" Big ran after him but tripped. OOFF! He landed hard against the speed lever and pushed it toward slow.
Marine tapped the wheel a few times. The boat came to a gentle stop just at the dock. "See? Oi told you gobs Oi'm the captain!" She pointed at Sonic, "Ye call yerself a hero? Ye ain't no hero, ye're a zero!" She began dancing around poking fun at Sonic, "Look! Oi'm Sonic the Hedgehog, mates! Gimme a chili dog! Oi'm the biggest and the bravest, and...Oh no! A water pistol! Now look what ye've done, Oi'm melting! AHhhhhhhhhhhh! Hahahahahahhahaha………."
Marine didn't notice that creeping up behind her was a very angry Amy with a pico pico hammer in her hands. WHACK! Marine went flying over the railing into the water below. KERSPLASH!
"Nobody makes fun of my Sonic and get's away with it!" Amy yelled overboard where Marine landed in the water. Froggy leaped into the water and landed on Marine's head.
"AHHHH leaping lizards, Oi've been flagboozled!" Marine cried out and began splashing around.
"Ribbit!" Froggy took another leap off her head toward the boat. Big caught him and looked down at Marine, "Duh, Froggy's not a lizard, he's a froggy!"
We were all sad that the ride was over. (Everyone was glad the ride was over. As they all left the boat, the beaver stopped them. "Hey, where's the driver and that crazy raccoon?" he had his hands on his hips.
"Uhm…uhm….." Everybody looked at each other.
"Look! An Eggman robot!" Amy cried pointing to the right.
"Where? Where?" the beaver frantically looked where she was pointing.
WHACK! KERSPLASH! The beaver was in the water.
"AMY!" Sonic yelled.
"Sorry, I just can't help myself."
"Now what?" Cream asked.
"RUN!" Knuckles yelled, and they all took off running.
