I'm back! Just so you all know, I'm actually rethinking about the whole ask the cast thing. And so I'm going to separate it from the story. If you know what I mean . And I know this is uncommon for some one who is working on their first story but… I just like letting my imagination run wild but at the same time, keep it under control. So here is chapter ten.

Ch. 10 the trap revealed

As the group of five walked to the throne room, Daisy ran down the stairs and to them, and gave Peach a hug.

"Hey, Peach! It's so great to see you again!" Daisy stated cheerfully

"It's good to see you too Daisy." Peach smiled, then Daisy broke the hug.

"Mario! Luigi! Yoshi! It's great to see you guys too!" she smiled.

"Thanks Daisy!" Mario said.

"it's great to see you too!" Yoshi said cheerfully

"N-n-nice to s-s-see you a-a-again D-d-daisy…" Luigi blushed. Then Daisy looked at Sonic.

"Hi! What's your name?" She asked. Then Sonic gave his signature pose.

"Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog." He said proudly

"Nice to meet you!" daisy said, so.. This is the Sonic guy Tails was talking about. Daisy thought to herself

"So, where's the king, Daisy?" Peach asked

"Oh, he's in the throne room, along with what I found in the desert. Come on!" she said while walking up the stairs. The others followed her, as she opened the door, Sonic stopped in shock and saw his best friend Tails in the throne room, Tails looked and saw Sonic and with joy he Shouted

"SONIC!"

"TAILS!" Sonic shouted then ran to his friend and rubbed his head playfully.

"It's so great to see you again! " Sonic said happily while rubbing the fox's soft fur on his head.

"Sonic, I knew you would find me!" Tails giggled, Sonic then took his hand of Tails head and smiled. Mario and the others walked up to them, Tails looked at them.

"Daisy! Are these the guys you told me about earlier?" Tails asked

"yup!" Daisy smiled, then Tails looked at Sonic

"Sonic…you know them?" He asked

"Of course! These guys found me after I crashed into the woods. That's why I got these bandages on my back." Sonic said pointing to his back and turning around so Tails can see.

"Bandages?! I didn't notice!" Tails said shocked. The king then got up from his throne and walked up to the group

"Princess Peach, ruler of the mushroom kingdom. An honor to see you again. " the king greeted

"It's a pleasure to see you as well sire." Princess Peach bowed, Mario then looked at Daisy.

"Daisy you said TWO things crashed here, we can see Tails is one of them but what about the other?" Mario asked.

"Oh yeah! I forgot!" Then pulled the yellow chaos emerald out of her satchel.

"A CHAOS EMERALD!" Sonic and Tails shouted at the same time.

"So, that's what they look like?" Peach asked in awe

"yup!" Sonic answered

"Ther're are seven Emeralds if you get all seven your practically unstoppable, well… almost…" Sonic said

"Oh yeah, the green laser…" Mario said.

"Well, when the laser hit it also made Sonic drop the Emeralds. But an attack like that is-" Tails was explaining but was cut off.

"Yeah, Yeah, that's great. So sonic, what is it like ?" Luigi asked

" It's really cool! It's called a super form! I've had one in almost All my adventures!" Sonic smiled.

Tails was about to say something, when the king beat him to it.

"My Sonic! That sounds intriguing, but could anyone use the power of the Emeralds?" the king asked. Tails' tails drooped, he couldn't believe everyone was asking Sonic all the questions and giving all the attention to sonic. It's like they forgot he was even there!

"well, depending on who has them! Because when…" as Sonic was explaining, Tails walked sadly out of the throne room with nobody but Yoshi noticing. Yoshi looked at the door then back at the group. With everyone's attention on Sonic, Yoshi decided to go after Tails, and ran out the door.

Meanwhile outside the castle Bowser was yelling at Eggman through his communicator

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT TRAP WAS FOOLPROOF!" Bowser shouted. Eggman sweatdroped.

"hey, they only went into the castle for a few minutes. They'll be out soon enough, and this time if they miss again, Metal and bowser Jr. Will MAKE them step on the trap. Trust me. I have an IQ of 300." Eggman said. Then he heard the castle door open.

"See? What I tell you?" Eggman whispered then waited for Mario and Sonic to walk into view. Only he saw it was Tails, walking by himself.

"how come Sonic got everyone's attention! I could have answered some questions. But the minute that stupid emerald got pulled out then…" Tails sat down on the ground and hugged his namesakes. Then Eggman heard the castle door open and close again.

"Okay, now it HAS to be Mario and Sonic! " Eggman whispered into his communicator, but was wrong again. It turned out to be Yoshi running down the pathway calling Tails' name. Tails looked up and saw Yoshi slowing down and walking up to him.

"Tails why did you walk out like that?" Yoshi asked

"Because, everyone started giving Sonic all the attention! And everybody just forgot I was even there!" Tails snapped

"Hey! I didn't forget! I saw you walk out of the throne room with your head hanging down! Personally I didn't really care about the Emerald." Yoshi responded. Tails eyes grew wide at that.

"Wait! You didn't?!" he asked shocked

"Well, sure it looked cool but, I was more interested in meeting Sonic's friends, then a rock." Tails smiled at Yoshi's words.

"everyone probly just got excited about the chaos Emerald. I know my friends, and they didn't mean to exclude you!" Yoshi sighed

"And I feel your pain… a few years ago after another great defeat of our enemy Bowser. People were swarming us and asking Mario and Luigi all the questions and giving them all the attention! It's like they forgot I was even there! I tried to say something but, some jerk shoved me and told me to buzz off! Then some other people gave me the evil eye. And one even called me a pathetic wimp! Because, well, before the battle I was told by Mario to stay outside the room with the princess to protect her, while Mario and Luigi finished the job. And those people thought I was to scared to fight! I tried to explain but they wouldn't let me! Then the same guy that shoved me punched me in the nose. Hard. I looked over but Mario and Luigi didn't seem to notice, infact they were busy signing autographs. So I ran off in sadness…" Yoshi at this point was sitting next to Tails and started sniffling a bit. Tails felt sorry for him, it must have been painful to remember those memories. Meanwhile Eggman was listening in on Yoshi's story.

"ohh, 'so I ran off in sadness' bleh! " Eggman muttered under his breath.

"anyway I ran and ran and didn't stop until I was in the deepest, darkest, and coldest part of the forest. Then I sat in the rain, hugged my knees and cried. Then I heard two familiar vocies, I looked up and saw Mario and Luigi running towards me. I crossed my arms and looked away, as Mario ran up to me with Luigi panting as he walked up next to him. 'What do you want!?' I snapped, I didn't sound friendly, but I didn't care. 'Yoshi we can looking for you.' Mario said 'Well WHY!? You guys didn't do anything when that guy shoved me! Or when someone called me a wimp! Or when I got punched in the nose!' Then Mario took a deep breath and said 'Yoshi me and Luigi saw what was happening, but the reason we didn't do anything right away is that a ton of people we're bugging us for autographs. Knowing we couldn't get to you without giving those guys autographs, we aproved. As we were doing that we saw you get punched in the nose. Then we started signing quicker. But after we we're done we saw you already runing into the forest and those people were laughing. We couldn't BELIVE they would do that! So me and Luigi marched over. And gave those idiots a live of our minds. Before we left to find you, I gave them a warning that if I ever saw them messing with you again, it would not be a pleasant day.' 'Yoshi we're sorry you had to deal with that and we'll be there for you!' Luigi said. my eyes brightened. 'you really mean that?' I asked 'Yup! Now let's get to the castle! The princess has baked a cake for us!' Mario smiled. So I jumped up and walked out of the forest with them" when Yoshi finished his story he looked at Tails

"Tails, I'm sure Sonic feels the same way about you! Because, if he's willing to stick his back out to save you and that Amy girl from that eggbelly. Then he must care about you." Yoshi said

"Eggman…" Eggman growled quietly.

"yeah!" Tails said happily and jumped up.

"Thanks for cheering me up Yoshi!" Tails thanked

"No problem!" Yoshi said as he jumped up

"We better get back to the castle. " he stated and Tails nodded. Unknown to them, when Tails was walking out of the castle he walked right past the trap, and it was the same with Yoshi. So the trap was right in front of them. Tails was walking right towards the castle and was JUST about to step on it when Yoshi grabbed him and shouted.

"STOP!" Tails looked at him shocked and confused. Then pulled his foot back.

"What?" he asked. Yoshi didn't answer he kneeled on the ground and sniffed where Tails was about to step. Tails was wondering what he was doing as he watched. Yoshi slowly put his hands on the ground only to be feeling metal!

"Just as I thought," he said

"What!?" Tails asked

Then Yoshi felt the metal until he felt two sides, the pulled it removing it from the ground (when Eggman placed the trap there he also had it attached to the ground) then he felt the sides and on one of them, he felt a switch, flipped it and the trap became visable. Tails was astonished and Eggman had his jaw dropped and his eye twiching. Then he opened his communicator and Bowser was on the other end

"Let me guess… The dino found your trap." Bowser said

"How…how… how did he find my trap!?" Eggman silently screamed. Then he heard Tails ask a similar question.

"How did you find that?" He asked

"well, I have a gift. I can sense if danger is around but… it doesn't always work." Yoshi explained

"yeah… I forgot to tell you that, when you were building the trap…" Bowser said. Eggman face palmed.

"Wait a minute let me see that." Tails said, Yoshi gave him the trap and Tails examined it.

"It looks like something Egg face would build" Tails said

"Eggman…" Eggman growled a little louder.

"Then he must be here!" Yoshi shouted

"Tails now we HAVE to get back to the castle and warn Mario and Sonic About bowser and egg gut" Yoshi said. Then Eggman got so angry he made the mistake of standing up and out of his hiding spot and shouted.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO FREAKS!? MY NAME IS EGGMAN! EGG! MAN! IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT!" Eggman then froze realizing what he just did. Tails and Yoshi were staring at the guy.

"Speak of the devil…" Tails said.

"THAT'S Eggman? Ha! From Sonic's story he said he was fat and ugly. But I didn't think he'd be bald." Yoshi mocked.

"Grrrrr, why you little…" Eggman then started opening His communicator trying to contact Metal Sonic and Bowser Jr where are those two? He thought. Yoshi and Tails sweatdroped, Yoshi then leaned over to Tails and whispered,

"Let's go while he's still doing, whatever it is he's doing." Tails nodded and the two of them made a run for it. Eggman looked up and saw that they were gone and running towards the castle.

"rahh! They're going to get away! Metal! Bowser Jr! Where are you!?" then the screen lit up and it showed Eggman that Jr Was sleeping, and Metal Sonic was in sleep mode.

"METAL! BOWSER JUNIOR! WAKE UP!" Eggman shouted. Then the two snapped awake.

"what is it!? I was having a REALLY good dream!" Bowser Jr complained while looking into the screen

"Listen, two friends of Mario and Sonic have discovered the trap and are off to warn them!" Eggman explained, then turned his head and in horror he saw that they were only ten feet away from the castle.

"And HURRY! THEIR ALMOST THERE!" Eggman shouted frantically.

"Alright! Time for some action!" Bowser Jr said while pulling up his mask and pulling out his paint brush. Then metal Sonic activated his thrusters and took off while Bowser Jr jumped into his koopa clown car and flew off.

"Those two better get here quick." Eggman said. Tails and Yoshi were running up the stairs and to the door when…
