2:05 p.m.

(Amy's perspective)

As we run out of our new house, we see Charmy leaning against another black car. What could this be for?

We all stop and I ask the bee, "Let me guess: Vector's busy, and you're driving us around L.A?"

"Of course," answers Charmy, with a snarky grin, "Espio's going back to Chaotix Records, and I get to drive around with four beautiful ladies."

We all end up having uncomfortable looks on our faces; including Rouge, even though she normally likes getting compliments from guys.

Charmy then turns to Cream saying, "Especially with this cutie. Too bad you're only 14."

"I'm 15, actually," says Cream. She just turned 15 last month.

"Whatever," says Charmy, then gets in the car, "Where do you all want to go?"

"We haven't decided," says Blaze.

"You can just drive around the city," says Rouge, "and whatever looks interesting to us, you can just stop there."

"Sounds like a deal!" Charmy agrees as we all get in the car.

Charmy begins driving and the rest of us begin to look at the beautiful city.

Rouge looks over at the Hollywood sign, which is quite the distance from here. "Hold on!" Rouge says, "I see the Hollywood sign. I need a selfie!" She holds her phone in front of her and takes a picture of herself and the Hollywood sign despite the car still moving.

"How did it turn out?" I ask her.

"Horrible!" Rouge answers, showing the rest of us her selfie, "I can barely see the Hollywood sign! How am I supposed to get a good filter?"

Charmy laughs after what happened, with Rouge yelling, "Shut up Charmy!"

"That's what you get for taking a bad pic when someone's driving!" Charmy keeps laughing.

An hour later...

We later stop at the mall, where the girls and I hang out at the entrance to discuss the plans.

"Alright girls," I say, "Where should we go first?"

"Not sure," answers Blaze, "Should we split up?"

"Great idea Blaze!" Rouge says to the purple feline, "I get dibs on Amy!"

Cream sighs and says, "I was hoping to be with Amy..."

I put my hand on Cream's shoulder and say, "Don't worry, Cream. We can hang out later. For now, you can hang out with Blaze."

"Sounds good to me," our rabbit friend smiles, with her and Blaze walking away.

Rouge turns to me and says, "Let's see if there's a Forever 21 here."

I nod in agreement and the two of us begin walking. We find a map hanging on a wall and look for Forever 21 on it. As we keep looking, we here a loud voice close by.

"I'm tellin' you man," says the voice, which sounds very masculine, "Friday's gonna be awesome!"

Rouge and I walk over to the couch area, where we see a male red echidna sitting on a white couch. He's seen talking on his phone and wearing typical gangster attire: a black hoodie with a gold chain, blue jeans sagging close to his knees, and green and white high top sneakers. He's also wearing black rectangular sunglasses, and his dreadlocks are tied in a messy bun.

"Oh my gosh!" Rouge squeals to me in a whispering voice, "It's The Knux!"

I sigh and roll my eyes. The Knux... One of many terrible rappers of today. Rouge has a major crush on him, solely for his looks. He's just like every other rapper: his clothes, he's arrogant, treats his fans like crap, and raps about his fame. I will give him one thing: at least he doesn't have tattoos on his face or grills on his teeth.

Being the stupid bat she is, Rouge flies over to the celebrity and greets him in an annoying way, "HIIII, KNUX!"

The red echidna looks up and stares blank at Rouge. "Sorry Billy, I'm gonna have to call you back," he says to his phone and hangs up.

"Who's Billy?" Rouge asks smiling, "Is he your manager?"

The Knux stands up and folds his arms saying, "That's none of your business."

Rouge gets a little glittery blue notebook and a pencil out of her purse asking, "Can I have your autograph? I love your music!"

I sigh and yell, "Rouge, Espio said to not bother other celebrities!"

"Other celebrities?" The Knux overhears me, "You two are celebrities, too?"

"Yeah," answers Rouge, "we and two of our friends are a new girl band! We're gonna rock the music industry!"

"Yeah!" I boast, giving Rouge a high-five, "Girl Power's gonna take the world by storm!"

The Knux examines us, scratching his chin. I have a bad feeling he's not going to say something nice.

"Oh yeah," the echidna starts, "I heard about you guys! Good luck trying, because no way you'll make it!"

Is this guy for real?! "Excuse me?!" I respond to him, "We've been trying to get a record deal for years, and we think it's rude that you don't make us feel welcome."

"Who said that I needed to make you feel welcome?" the Knux laughs, "Even with the name 'Girl Power', you four won't last a week!"

Feeling enraged, I reach into my purse and grab a little red and yellow hammer. Rouge's eyes grow wide, watching me and my hammer.

"Amy, I don't think this is a good idea," Rouge starts to worry, "We could get in trouble!"

"Yeah Amy," says the annoying rapper, "You could get in trouble!"

I press a little button on my hammer, making it bigger. I begin to hit the Knux with my now three-foot sized hammer.

"HOLY CRAP!" the Knux cries as he sees my hammer.

My dad gave me this hammer when I was ten years old. It's supposed to protect me from bad people. But The Knux is just stupidly annoying.

I swing me hammer, hitting the rapper. He falls down on the floor, being unable to get up.

I walk over to him with a smile on my face. "How does it feel to be knocked out by a girl?" I ask him.

The Knux tries to sit up, but fails. "Not...very...good." He then coughs.

Rouge turns to me and says, "Amy, I don't think he's okay. We should help him."

"Don't," I say, "He has other people to help him. Let's just go home."

We begin walking away from the rapper, with a big hole in my heart.

And that was Chapter 10! Yes, it has been a while, but I finally got it out! I believe this chapter could have been better, but it's still alright. You can all probably guess who The Knux really is. Next chapter, the girls will be brainstorming their first single! Can't wait! Remember to review this story and I'll be back in Chapter 11!
