Chapter 10

"Ok everyone! Good news,we're all going camping!" Sonic said while me and Karla were playing an interesting bored game known as Candy Land on the coffee table in the living room.

I totally rocked that game! Karla had been losing the whole time…well except for earlier when she broke my game piece and said I died which means I lost. Yeah...that game has some interesting loopholes.

"Why is that?" Karla asked while picking up a card.

"Because I thought it would be pretty fun to just do some normal fun stuff. I mean since Eggman hasn't done anything yet,we should just take advantage of this time. You know?" He said with a smile.

I've heard of camping at the time,but just never quite understood it's purpose. I mean by the sounds of it,it's just when you go sleep outside,right?

"Ugh! I hate camping,it's just so annoying,and icky,and just bla." Karla said while frowning at her game card.

"Come on,I'm only trying to do something nice here." Sonic said.

"Which is?" Karla asked as she moved her game piece to the very back.

"Get you two out more. I mean look at you two. One is always leading trouble in the house out of sheer boredom,yes I'm talking about you Karla. And the other is so ignorant about the world around her she thought the sink drain was a mythical portal." He said looking our way.

"Hey!" I said in defense. "I dropped just about three marbles down there,and they never came back!"

"…Yep you're going camping for sure. In fact,you BOTH need to get out more."

"Um excuse me! Let's not forget that I'm currently trying not to get recognized by anyone! I am a runaway after all." Karla said.

"Uh yeah no offence,but um wouldn't that search party still be going on if anyone was still looking for you?" Sonic asked. "Also didn't you fly here somehow? I doubt anyone here that far away from your home would ever even know you're a runaway."

"…Y-yeah,well you don't know that! Can't be too careful,you know." Karla said crossing her arms.

"Since when do you ever care-hey wait a minute! Now you're just making up excuses." Sonic said tapping his foot.

"Hey you do seem to be making up excuses Karla." I said noticing. "What's the big deal? You never seemed to have a problem with the outdoors before."

"Ugh! Fine…I'll say it. But only to Lacey." She said while cupping her hands over my ears. "Toads." She whispered.

"What?" I asked as she uncupped her hands and backed away. "What does 'that' have to do with anything?"

"Their gross! I hate those things! Along with clowns,but that's a whole different story. Anyways,no! No way am I going to go out camping and find those things! Ick!" She said shuddering while Sonic gave her a confused look.

"Well uhh-hey! Why don't you just bring your mentally damaged dog with you? I'm sure Bittsy will protect you from..uhh…whatever it is you don't like." Sonic said.

"Hm…Ok then!" Karla said in a cheerful tone.

"Great! Also,Tails will be going too. He wanted to do some research on some of the outdoor stuff."

"So it's just the four of us then?" I asked.

"Yeah,unless Knuckles wants to come too." Sonic said.

"And?" I asked.

"And what?"

"And what about Shadow?"

"Shadow? You really think we could somehow drag him out camping with us?" He asked while holding back some laughs.

"Well,I uh just thought that maybe he might…heh yeah you've got a point. Never mind scratch that idea."

"Ok,then it's settled. We're going camping today,so pack your things."

"Ok." We said.

When Sonic left to his room,I turned to Karla and said. "I win." I had still been playing while she had stopped.

"Hm! So what? Go pack." She said while digging for her things under the couch cushions.

"Uhhh,what do I pack exactly?" I asked.

"Stuff that you need,like clothes and whatnot."

"Oh ok then." I said right before dashing up the steps to my room.

I get a backpack from under my bed and began to look for things to pack. Yeah I don't know why,but Tails got me and Karla some backpacks for some reason. I would have asked why,but I just didn't care too much to even ponder over it. Then again this is me we're talking about,I hardly ponder about anything in case you haven't noticed. It's a surprise I even use the word 'ponder' now! Yeah another thing Tails got me was a few books of words,apparently my choice of words and speech was improper to the extreme….whoops,getting off topic here.

I look into my closet and see nothing. Oh yeah,I only have the clothes I'm currently wearing. Totally forgot about that. So I go to my dresser to get a pair of PJs,but only to find that I had just about everthing but PJs in there. I don't sleep in PJs,I just sleep in..well..nothing really. Maybe some socks sometimes,but that's just about it. What? It's not like I'm doing anything wrong.

"Well then…" I said as I just packed a pillow,hairbrush,my Dsi,some videogames,blankey,and a bag of cookies I found under my bed.

Yep,as you can see,I was ready to go! When I reach the bottom of the steps into the living room,I see that Karla and Bittsy,Sonic,Tails,Knuckles,and even Shadow were all packed with their things.

"You ready to go?" Asked Sonic.

"Yep!" I say,happy to see that Shadow was going with us. "Hey Shadow,are you actually going to camp with us?" I asked in a cheerful tone.

"Hm! Real funny. No,I've gotten an assignment from G.U.N." He simply said,with hardly any emotion.

"Oh.." I reply in disappointment.

"Yeah,apparently there's been reports of some werewolf beast thing running around. It was last seen in the woods somewhere,so now I just have to investigate a bit and just pretty much see what's going on,and give a full report. Just to keep the citizens quiet."

"…well have fun with that!" I say cheerfully trying to cheer him up with no success.

"Well if everyone's ready,gather around Shadow so that way he can send us to the woods." Tails said right before we all gathered around him.

In a matter of dizzy seconds,we were at the border of the woods.

"Gee Shadow,you couldn't send us IN the woods?" Sonic asked.

"I can only go to places I know,and the border of the woods is all I know at the moment. You're lucky I even bothered to bring you guys this close." Shadow said with his arms crossed.

"Well it doesn't really matter,this is ok. We can easily find a camp spot all on our own. Thank you Shadow,good luck on your assignment." Tails said while he and Sonic led the rest of us in the woods,while Shadow took a different rout in the woods.

It didn't take long for us to find a steady camping spot,Sonic was able to dash ahead of us and find us one nearby a lake. Then came the really fun part,that's right…setting up tents! Tails and Sonic made it look easy! But it's not! Not easy at all! Tails only brought four tents so it was decided that me and Karla share one,apparently Knuckles wanted his own tent too. We had a hard time setting it up. Karla didn't feel like reading the instructions,so she just tossed the booklet to the side and tried to go by what the picture on the box looked like. Yep…that so did not go well at all. Then it was my turn to try to set it up,and we can all just guess how fabulously that went. Yes,I'm being sarcastic with you guys,you can count on that.

"It looks…weird." Karla said with her head tilted.

"You look weird." I said back.

"No guys,you did it wrong. Here,this is how you do it." Tails said while setting up our tent.

In a matter of minutes,our tent was all set and ready,Bittsy was quick to take shelter in it.

"Thanks Tails!" I say while he walks back to his tent.

"No problem." He said back.

"Hey Karla.." I say.

"Yeah?"

"Let's go fishing!"

"Ugh! I hate fishing!" She said. "Why do you even want to fish? You've never done it before!"

"Exactly! I want to try it out,also I saw Tails unpack fishing rods so may as well try them,right?" I said with a smile.

"…Fine." Karla grumbled.

"Yay!"

We go and gather the fishing rods and go to the nearby lake. Our bait was corn in a can,I guess it doesn't take much to impress a fish,right? Hm! Wrong! We were sitting there forever,and not ONE bite! Well not for me anyways,Karla on the other hand kept getting tons of bites. Although it wasn't fish at all. She kept getting turtles,and this one turtle tried to snap at her when she tried to get it off the line. Oh! And a frog too,that was random.

"AHHHH! Get it off! Get it off! GET IT OFF!" She shrieked while swinging her fishing rod around,trying to fling the frog away. "Bittsy!"

"Ehh..Karla." I said.

"WHAT?!"

"That's not a toad." I stated.

Frustrated,she simply tossed the rod to the side and sat down. Don't worry though,the frog did get free.

"Are we done yet?" She asked,ready to leave.

"No!" I said. "Not till I catch my first fish!"

Just then Sonic and Knuckles came over.

"Hey how's it going?" Asked Sonic.

"Good." I said.

"Ehh." Karla replied.

"Well let's see what kind of fish I get." Knuckles says while grabbing the fishing rod that Karla tossed.

"Heh! Good luck." Karla taunted.

After awhile of waiting,I dozed off,only to be awakened by a tugging from my line. "Hey!" I yelled. "I think I got one!"

"Well reel it in!" Sonic said.

When I reeled in my first fish,I was so happy. It didn't take long till it surfaced the water. And then-

"Ahhhhh!" Shrieked Karla. "Go away ugly fish! Go away!"

"Wait!" Knuckles said while we got it on land. "Keep it right there. That's our dinner!"

"Ahhh! Gross!" Karla said while spinning around,her tail knocking the fish back into the water in the process…yeah that fish is gone.

"…well,try again?" Sonic asked while handing me back the fishing rod.

"I got one!" Yelled Knuckles while reeling in his line.

"…Nah." I say while walking away.

"You're done now?" Asked Karla.

"Yep."

"Finally,lets go back to our tent." She said while skipping to the tent.

We did nothing but text on our phones,which wasn't much fun since we were texting each other. Then Karla just got her MP3 player and rested on her pillow while listening to it. Bittsy joined her. Bored,I decided to do some exploring of my own. So I stepped out of the tent and off I went.

…Yep you guessed right,I got lost. And all I had was my bag of cookies,and my phone with zero bars. Before I knew it,it was already getting kinda dark…and a little creepy.

"Hello?" I called out,hoping that maybe Sonic or even Shadow were near by,but I got no answer.

As I walked forward I heard a 'whopping' sound behind me,like the wind. But when I turned around,I saw no one. I continued forward,only to hear the same sound,beside me,then behind me. I got kinda frustrated as every time I would turn to the noise,nothing was there. Just when I was about to snap,an apple fell to the ground ahead of me.

"Huh?" I run over to the random apple on the ground. "An apple?" I ask while grabbing it. "Heck yeah,free food!" I bit into it,only to find that it was sour and not ready. "Yuck! No wonder the tree didn't like you" I yell while throwing it behind me.

"*snarl!*" I hear behind me as the apple made contact with something.

That loud snarl made me freeze in my tracks,almost too scared to even dare,I turned to see what was behind me. I see a dark figure with glowing green eyes,and it was getting closer to me.

"Ahh! Stay back!" I yelled while running forward not bothering to look back.

That's when I reached some sort of log bridge thing over some slow passing water. Sure it looked a little old and worn out,but hey there's something chasing me,of course I'll run on it! As soon as I leaped on it,there was a loud sickening cracking sound,and 'Sploosh!' down the water I went as the log broke. And did I ever mention I can't swim? No? Well now you all know.

"AHH! Help! *Blub*" I yelled as I struggled to try to keep my head above the water surface. "*cough!* *cough!* Someone *blub* help! *gag!* please!"

Just as I was about to sink into the water for good,I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me up. When I was dragged to the grass,I rolled to my stomach and gagged up all the water that I had breathed in. "*cough!* *cough!* Thanks…uhh…" I look up and see a red furred wolf with a black underbelly and muzzle area. He also had green eyes and yellow hair in a flame pattern. He wore a blue military uniform with red ridging and gold shoulder cuffs along with black marching boots.

"Jhony,Jhony the Wolf." He said.

I really didn't see that coming. "Jhony? Thanks Jhony! I owe you one! I really-" I then noticed his eyes and the fact that he was a wolf. "Hey! You're the one who was chasing me!" I yelled. "You're the reason I fell in the water!"

"I wasn't chasing you." The red and black wolf stated. "I was following you. There's a difference."

"Well then why were you following me?" I ask now sitting up.

"It's not every day I see others around here,since it's the woods and all."

"Oh…well it's still your fault I fell."

"I didn't tell you to run on that obviously unstable log."

Well…now I feel stupid.

"So what's your name?" He asked.

"I'm Lacey the ferret."

"Oh nice to meet you." He said. "So…what are you doing out here all alone? You don't seem like much of a late night hiker."

"Late night hiker? No,I'm a camper at the moment." I reply. "I was just trying to get back to my camping spot."

"Oh that makes more sense."

"Yeah…hey,do you think you can lead me back? To the others?"

"Others?" He asked. "You want me to lead you to the others? If I didn't know any better,I'd say you were lost."

"Psh! Ha! L-lost?" I defend. "You think I'M lost? Pff,no way! I was just exploring a bit. That's all."

Hm! No way was I going to let this stranger know that I was actually lost! Otherwise I may look like a total idiot!

"Then why would you want me to lead you back to a camp spot that I don't even know about?" He asked while raising a brow.

"Ummm…well it's just that it's kinda dark and all. And it would be a lot smarter of me to at least have an assistant to accompany me back to my camping spot." I say. "Seems reasonable,right?"

"Hm…I don't know." He said.

"Aw come on why not? You're a wolf,for crying out loud! I'm sure your better at traveling the woods than I am! Plus it's getting sort of hard to see now,and I'm sure you can see in the dark,right?"

Ok so I kinda lied,I can see in the dark too sometimes,I just need to remind myself how I do that. Like that makes any sense!

"Ok then,fine." He said. "I'll help."

"Yes! Thank you so much!" I cheer. "And just for that,I'll reward you with one of Bittsy's treats!"

"Uh..who?"

"Bittsy! That's my friend's dog. He's mental." I say with an innocent smile.

"..I think I'll pass on that offer." He said. "Ok then,Lacey,lead the way."

"Follow the lead!" I giggle while skipping aimlessly around the woods,without a clue as to where the heck I was going.

Normal pov

"Lacey?" Karla called while she walked around the woods with a flashlight,and Bittsy. "Laaaaacccceeeeyyy?"

It was only a matter of minutes that Karla had noticed that Lacey was missing. She had been looking for her ever since,with Bittsy as her gide.

"Here,sniff it again!" Karla said while shoving Lacey's hairbrush to his nose.

Bittsy barked again,right before jumping up and leading Karla to a new path. "Oh,we just have to find her Bittsy! We have to!" Karla exclaimed,full of worry.

All alone,she was determined to find her dearest friend…who else was going to pay Karla back her five dollars?

Just then she heard a twig snap,along with some talking just ahead of her and Bittsy. "Huh?"

She runs over to the noise and sees two dark figures coming closer,one of them with glowing green eyes,and the other with dull eyes that weren't noticeable at all. Just when she was about to hide behind a tree,Bittsy lets out a not so mighty bark and charges after them.

"Bittsy wait!" She called,but it was too late. He had already lunged and bit a hold of whatever it was that had the green eyes.

Lacey's pov

"*snicker* So why is your tail pink exactly?" I asked,I had just noticed that after awhile of walking around. "I mean,it doesn't really seem to match the rest of you. Not that it's a bad thing or anything like that. In fact,I think it's kinda pretty,if that makes you feel any better."

"*sigh* I don-ah!" Jhony was interrupted by a small dog biting his face.

Wait a minute...

"Bittsy?" I ask,now confused.

Jhony growled while yanking the small dog off his face. "Hm! So this is the dog you were talking about?"

"Yep,I'm just curious as to how-"

"Lacey!" I hear Karla yell right before she rushes up to us,panting.

"Karla? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I was looking for you. What are you doing here?"

"I got bored." I simply stated.

"So you just go and get yourself lost?"

"Thanks for understanding." I said while patting her back.

"Wait a minute!" Jhony said. "You mean to tell me that you really were lost?"

"Uhhh…."

"Yep! She sure was." Karla cheered. "But don't worry,I can easily get us back."

"Yeah! When it comes to solving problems,my friend Karla here is the one to count on!" I say with a smile.

After awhile of silence,we both burst out laughing. Jhony looked a little irritated. "Well come on,lets go!" Karla said while taking Bittsy from Jhony.

As we spent the last hour just walking around and laughing at random things,me and Karla that is,we came to a clear dirt path that would make our travel a whole lot easier.

"Oh thank goodness!" I say as I walk at a faster pace.

Just then,while we were just walking forward,a huge fat toad hops onto the middle of the path. Making a loud *ribit* noise in the process.

"Ahhhhhh!" Shrieked Karla right before she leaped onto Jhony's back,yanking his ears like horse ropes.

"What the-"

"Ahhh! Gross! Ugly toad! Ugly!" Karla yelled at the confused and slightly irritated Jhony.

I couldn't help,but snicker at the ridiculous sight. The toad just looked at us with a bored,emotionless expression. While Bittsy just kept on barking at it.

"Hey,get off me!" Jhony said to Karla.

"Toad! Ugly,gross TOAD!" She yelled while kicking his sides and tugging on his ears. "Giddy up! Yah! Move it!" She tugged on Jhony's ears,causing him to lean to the side.

Did I mention we're on a pretty high hill thingy?

"Hey stop that!" He yelled.

Seeing that they were struggling,I went over to them and tried to pull Karla off.

"Karla,you're gonna make him-ah!" I was too late,we all went tumbling down the rough hill. Bittsy too,cause I wrapped my tail around the nearest thing,hoping that it would keep us from falling…Bittsy did not help.

"Ahhhhhh!" We all yelled while tumbling to our death…or at least I thought we were gonna die.

Nope instead we all roughly come to a stop as we hit a tree and fell into a mud puddle. We were all filthy now,but not as filthy as Jhony,he looked like a huge mud monster of some sort,with random leaves and twigs poking out.

"Ugh…did we die yet?" Asked Karla while holding her head.

"No." Jhony sternly said. "Although if you keep acting so foolish,you just may die…or go missing."

"…Are you threatening me?" Asked Karla while holding Bittsy.

"No,its not me that's a threat to you. However there is a threat.." Jhony said as an idea came to his mind.

"What threat?" I ask.

Looking around before saying anything,he said "The Slender man."

"The who?" I asked.

"Him?" Karla said,already knowing who that was.

"Yes,the slender man. You know what he does?"

"…umm pukes and never eats because he's too anorexic and worried about his little body fat?" I guessed.

"No,he likes to steal children."

"So he can feel better?" I ask.

"No,he's a mythical weird skinny guy,that can stretch out his limbs to steal children that dare wonder the woods." Karla stated. "Oh! And he can also hide amongst the trees."

"And then he'll snatch you away,when you least expect it!" Jhony said.

"*gasp!* What does he look like?" I ask.

"No one knows…he has no face!" Jhony said.

"Ahhhh!...Poor guy…he can't ever look in the mirror and see that he should eat more!" I replied.

"*Sigh* No,I'm saying he's going to take you two away!" He said while pointing at us.

"Really? You really think so?" I ask while shuddering.

"Pff! Yeah righ-"

"Yes!" Jhony interrupted Karla.

"He's mythical!" Argued Karla.

"Or is he?" Questioned Jhony. "Many have mysteriously disappeared here."

"*gasp*…if that is so,do you think he'll find us Karla?" I ask. "And also,why does he like to steal children? Where do you think he takes them?"

"I don't know…but we should totally find out!" Karla cheered.

"YEAH!" We say with a high-five.

This caused Jhony to facepalm himself. "Well you've been warned. Don't say I didn't warn you."

Shrugging our shoulders,and dusting off,me and Karla just simply skipped ahead. What a beautiful full moon there was..

Normal pov

After a few hours of research,Tails had finally decided it was time to stop for the day and relax. He was now roasting marshmallows with Knuckles,Sonic had randomly dashed off. He said that his head was hurting,and that he would be right back. As for Karla and Lacey,Tails just assumed that they had already fallen asleep in their tent.

"Hey Knuckles.." Tails said.

"Yeah?" He answered while munching on a marshmallow.

"Was Sonic acting strange a few minutes ago?"

"Hm…I wouldn't worry too much about it. He's a town hero,he can take care of himself." Knuckles said.

"Yeah,I guess you're right." Tails said while blowing out the flame on his marshmallow.

Meanwhile,under a tree far from the campsite was a big blue fuzzy creature holding his head while groaning. That creature was a werehog known as Sonic. "Ugh,not again." He grumbled while rubbing his head in frustration.

Just when he was about to leave elsewhere,an alluring aroma caught his nose. And that aroma was the smell of a big,grilling,meaty steak. Not able to help himself,he got on all fours and began to pursue the prized steak.

Lacey's pov

Finally,after so long,we had finally stumbled upon a campsite! Only it wasn't ours.

"Ok there you go,guess I'll just-"

"Wait!" Me and Karla interrupted Jhony. "This isn't our camp."

Indeed it wasn't our camp,there was only one tent,along with a small BBQ grill. And whatever was on the grill sure smelt GOOD! I run over to the grill and find a big yummy steak.

"Oh yeah!" Just when I was about to take it,a huge blue fuzzy blur pounces over me and onto the grill,leaping off as it took the steak.

"Whoa! What the heck?" I yell.

"Watch out!" Jhony yells right before causing some kind of wind attack to blow away the fuzzy blue beast.

Ok now that was pretty cool,first time I ever saw wind hurt people! But how the heck does a wolf manage that?

Startled,the big blue fuzz thingy dashes off on all fours.

That's when I suddenly saw a bright green flash appear,leaving… "Shadow!" I yell,happy to see him.

He only frowned at me. "Lacey? What are you doing here of all places?"

"Uhhh…."

I see Shadow's eyes look over to Karla and then stop at Jhony. "What the..?"

Due to Jhony being all covered up in that mud and whatnot,he really did look like a monster. "Stand back!" Shadow yelled while charging up a chaos spear.

"Wait Shadow! No!" I yell right before jumping onto him. "Karla run!" I yell as I see her and Jhony take off somewhere else.

"Lacey! What are you doing? Get off me!" Shadow sternly said right before pushing me off his back. "What was that all about?"

"Well I-"

"My food!" He yelled when he noticed his empty grill. "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" I say. "It was some huge fuzzy thing that took it!"

"Nice try Lacey!" He yelled. "What kind of fool do you take me for?"

"No really! Look at those claw marks!" I say,pointing at the grass close to the grill.

Shadow looked and examined them. "…The werewolf creature?"

Then before I could say anything,he just chaos controlled someplace else. I run to the direction I saw Karla and Jhony go to.

"Hey guys!" I say when I see them waiting by a tree. "It's all good,he left already."

"Really?" Asked Karla. "That was fast."

"Yep. He's more concerned over who took his food." I say.

"Cool! For a second,I thought-"

"When are we getting to your camp already?" Asked Jhony. "You're taking forever to lead us there Karla."

"Pff! Lead? What makes you think I was leading us anywhere?" Karla asked.

"Wait a minute,I thought you knew where the camp was." Jhony said.

"Nope! Sure don't." Karla simply stated while skipping in a circle,along with me too.

"You mean,we've all been lost this whole time?"

"Exactly." Karla giggled.

"This is pointless!" He yelled. "I just wasted my time on your endless so called adventure!"

"And we cherished every moment of it." I said with an innocent smile.

"That's it! I'm going home." He said while turning to leave.

"Hey wait up!" We said.

"You still need to help-whoa!" I yelled as me and Karla were suddenly grabbed by two long fuzzy stretched out arms.

"Help us!" We yelled right before we were taken into the darkness of the woods.

"Hold on!" We hear Jhony yell.

Wherever we were going,we were getting there at top speeds. I could tell,cause I was beginning to feel that same knot in my gut every time I'm moving too fast.

"Oh my gosh!" Karla said.

"W-what?" I ask.

"Stretchy limbs,kidnaps children,…this must be the slender man! He's real!"

"Oh my gosh,your right!" I said.

Then as we realized the situation we were in,we cheered and gave each other a high-five. "Yes! Now we can find out the unknown!" Karla says.

"Excuse us Mr. slender man sir!" I say. "Where are you taking us? And have you finally decided to eat more? Cause you're not as slender as I've heard to be so!"

"Lacey,it's me! Sonic." We here the strange being say.

We squinted our eyes in the darkness and see a few resemblances of the huge fuzzy creature being Sonic. "Sonic? What happened to you?" Karla asked. "And why did you snatch us up?"

"No time." He said as he picked up his pace. "I'll explain soon."

And soon was correct,he finally stopped at an old abandoned cabin. We were all inside the cabin just sitting around the floor.

"It's just a problem I've dealt with since." Sonic said as he finished his werehog story while looking down at the steak on the ground.

Yep that's what he called himself,a werehog,he tends to have issues with the moon being full.

"And I snatched you guys when I saw that dark brown monster with you." Sonic said.

"Monster? Oh you mean Jhony. No he's no monster,just very messy at the moment." I say.

"Jhony?" He asked.

"Yeah,he's a wolf guy I met while exploring."

"Oh…"

"Yep,hey why are we hiding in an old cabin?" Karla asked.

"Because Shadow's been trying to track me down all night. He thinks I'm a monster of some sort!" Sonic answered.

"Ehh…well you kinda are right now." I say.

Sonic chuckled at my comment. "Watch it,before I eat you."

"Ooh,I'm terrified." I say with a giggle.

Just then,the door was slammed down to the ground. And the one who knocked it down was none other than Shadow the hedgehog. "You!" He yelled while pointing at Sonic.

"Guys,stand back." Sonic said to us.

Nodding,we stepped back to the wall,me taking the steak as well,and watched what was about to take place. When they were about to fight,that's when Jhony came rushing in with Bittsy in his arms. Oh yeah,I forgot he was left behind!

"Karla! Lacey!" He said when he saw us.

"Bittsy!" Yelled Karla with joy.

"Enough of this!" Yelled Shadow right before sending a chaos spear at Sonic,and the battle began.

"Guys lets go." Jhony said while rushing towards us,staying out of the way of the battle.

Normal pov

As Jhony and the two ferrets with a dog slowly made their way to the door,Shadow noticed this and yelled "No!"

He saw that Lacey had his steak and was leaving with it. Normally he wouldn't have cared much really,but he had spent the whole day on the watch and didn't get to eat,also it didn't help that he missed breakfast. That steak was going to be his only meal of the day,and he wasn't going to let it go that easily. Chaos spearing Sonic in the face,he took this advantage to go for his steak.

"Stop!" He yelled while running to the now running trio. "She's mine!"

Of course Lacey took his sentence the wrong way,thinking that he meant her. "*gasp!* He said it! He finally said it! I'm his!" She giggled while being dragged away by Karla and Jhony.

"Don't go!" Shadow yelled right before leaping to his steak.

"I won't!" Lacey yelled with a huge smile while munching on the steak.

Before Shadow could make it,Sonic's stretched out arm wrapped around him and slammed him to the ground.

"Ugh!...n-no." Shadow murmured,unable to move. "My steak."

Lacey's pov

Really!? A steak? That was all FOR A STEAK?! Ugh! Should've known! Hm! Good thing I ate it!

"Guys!" Sonic yelled before we made it to the door. "It's ok. He won't do anything now."

We rush back to him,Jhony following behind us.

"Sooo…what now?" Asked Karla.

"Yeah,its not like we can stay here." I say.

"Well now we take Shadow back to his tent,then we take you two back to the camping spot." Sonic said.

"What about Jhony?" We ask.

Sonic then looks over to Jhony and says "Oh hey. Sorry I didn't properly greet you." He said while shaking his hand. "I'm Sonic,nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Jhony said while shaking his hand.

"Thanks for taking care of these two,and sorry for any troubles they may have caused you."

"Oh that's ok." Jhony said. "It…wasn't too bad. Nothing I couldn't handle."

"Yup!" Karla said. "We sure had a fun time!"

"Well come on let's get going." Sonic said while picking up the passed out Shadow.

"So this all happened when she threw an apple at you?" Asked Sonic.

After we dropped Shadow off to his tent,Jhony had told Sonic everything that had happened. From sour apple,to running to the cabin.

"Yeah. I offered to lead her home,then it all led to this." Jhony said. "It's kind of been a long night."

"I can imagine!" Sonic said. "You wanna stay over at our campsite?"

"Well I-"

"Yeah! Come on!" I say. "There's always room for friends!"

"Friends?" He asked.

"Well yeah!" I say. "You're now a friend. I don't throw apples at just anyone. It's a sign!"

"And it's appreciated that you even put up with them for so long." Sonic said. "That takes patience,lots of it."

"Well ok then. I'm your friend." Jhony said with a smile to us.

"Hey look!" Karla yelled while holding Bittsy. "There's our camping spot!"

It was a fun night. Turns out Jhony actually lives in the woods,so being lost with him wouldn't have been that bad. We were all roasting marshmallows. And even Karla had a good time in the end,that is until she heard a toad somewhere in the night. Also no one really seemed to care about Sonic's condition,cause they already knew about it. He was only hiding because he didn't want to burden anyone,that and he thought me and Karla would get scared,but no,it was all good. It's too bad Jhony doesn't live in town like Jake and Eddie though,it would be fun to visit every now and then.

That and we kinda got a kite stuck up on the roof and could really use his help,him having those air techniques and all.

Also dang it! I stayed up all night waiting for black Friday for Best Buy,but no! The line just had to be so freaking long! The line covered the front AND the side of the store! *Sigh* no drawing tablet accessories for me.

Oh! And hope I got your Oc right TammyHybrid21,my deepest apologies if I didn't.
