Me: Well here's the random chapter and this time it might not be so random

*crickets chirping*

Me: Okay it probably will but still we'll see because it's probably going to have a whole lot more Betty and Diamond this time around. I still only own the plot and my OCs.

Juice: I'd guess you'd call this the crack-chapter of this fic.

Me: also whenever I speak to the characters directly as the Author it will be like this: "I don't know you're the hero" by the way that was just an example Okay so now to the story.

Chapter 13: A whole lot of Random

"Are we there yet?" Diamond asked bored as she stared at the water that was steadily fighting Betty's valiant efforts to make their boat move.

"Nope" Betty strangled out pushing the oars hard into the water to move the boat a couple of metres further. 'Note to self next time bring along something fun or use a motor boat' Betty thought annoyed as she chanced a glance at Diamond who was playing around with a tarp that had been lying on the boat made out of ice. (A/N: And it hasn't melted or even started to melt SUS-PI-CIOUS *gets whacked by an angry Taylor* ouch) Betty then focused on rowing again with the icy-oars.

"Also why has this ice not melted yet Betty?" Diamond suddenly asked from right in front of Betty causing the human to almost drop her oar in shock and visibly flinch back a little.

"Well I'm kind of an Ice-wielder and can control ice you know" she then looked away rubbing the back of her head while Diamond gasped slightly. The Betty stared at the icy water and shook her head. "We can't dwell on the past we can only look to the future" she mumbled while Diamond gave her an odd look.

"What happened to you?" Diamond asked Betty looked up into the young wolf's eyes and sighed.

"I'm not telling I'll grow stronger though you'll see, everyone will see eventually" Betty then quietly slipped the oars into the bottom of the boat and pulled out a rope. Diamond eyed her nervously looking at the rope warily as Betty tied it around her own chest then onto the front of the boat. "I'll pull us" Betty stated ten she slipped into the freezing cold water leaving a stunned Diamond standing in the boat.

Knuckles found himself staring stupidly at the young girl waiting impatiently for Taylor to get back from wherever she'd dashed off to taking the Slayor twins along with her. 'How'd she even get here?' Knuckles wondered as she stirred slightly 'WHO CARES I JUST WANT HER OFF MY ISLAND!' he mentally shouted at himself as the girl pulled herself into a sitting position.

"Uhh how'd that blue hedgehog manage to move so fast?" the girl muttered then she opened her eyes showing that they were brown "Argh why's it have to be so bright?" she shouted shutting them and slamming her face back into the pillow.

Taylor then arrived running in with a distraught pair of twins following her.

"Tamara and Antoine have disappeared!" the Slayor twins shouted in synch while Taylor stared down at the girl whom had her face buried in the pillow.

'Tamara, Tamara? Wait that Tamara but she's been missing for years and how'd that annoying blue hedgehog even manage to move at the speed of sound anyway?' the girl then sat up and looked directly at Taylor confusion etched into her features. "Uh hi" she stated feeling stupid "the names Ivy Bigmouth"

A few minutes later Ivy and Knuckles had entered into a record breaking shout off that could possibly be heard out in space. Also Taylor was trying to get Joshua, Daniel and Kneecaps to bed and failing miserably thanks to Knuckles and Ivy's shouting match.

On the ARK the black hedgehog smiled slightly "Hmm seems like some people are extremely excited about something" then he rolled over and fell back into the dreamless hibernation he was used to.

"If YOU'RE NOT HERE TO STEAL THE MASTER EMERALD THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE"

"I don't care about some stupid Emerald and can you explain to me why some &&!&^ round guy stole my Sparkly?"

"WHY WOULD I CARE ABOUT A SPARKLY"

"YOU SHOULD CARE BECAUSE IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE THAT &%^$ EMERALD THAT YOU'RE GUARDING"

"OH ARE YOU POKING AT ME?"

"AM I?"

"ARE YOU?"

"NO! NOW HELP ME FIND MY SPARKLY!"

"NO GET OFF MY ISLAND!"

"NO WAY HOZAY FREAKY ECHIDNA THING!" Ivy shouted while Knuckles got an Anime vein on his head and readied a fist and then Taylor jumped in.

"Quiet! Now unless you both want to be lit on fire I'm putting the youngsters to sleep so I NEED QUIET!" Taylor shouted at them whilst glaring making them both flinch under her glare.

"Okay Tai" Tamara stated stretching "I think you proved that we aren't on Mobius anymore but can you work out how we got here at all?" Tamara wondered her tail waving from side to side lazily while Antoine's eyes followed it. Taiesha simply shrugged then after shaking the residue dust from her fur pointed at the village and headed that way. "Wait! We have a village?" Tamara shouted after Taiesha running to catch up with her old friend.

"I'm feeling zhat someone is to being watching us" Antoine muttered as he trailed after the two. Then he stopped the feeling had grown a bit "Who es zhere spybots?" He asked the air not really expecting an answer which was why he jumped when one came.

"Nope no spybots here that I can see from my vantage point" A strange voice stated. Antoine's ears flattened and pressed against his head in fear a little way a head Tamara stopped and tilted her head so as to hear something better.

"Ahh who es zhere?" he shouted out then the world spun he dropped down to try and not get dizzy when it stopped spinning he looked up to discover he was in someone's bedroom the single bed in the middle took up pretty much the entirety of the room aside from the oak bookshelf and wooden wardrobe it was sparsely decorated. "Where, where es zhis?" Antoine asked.

A young girl suddenly poked her head out from beneath her bed pointy yellow ears quivering. "You're in my room silly" she stated as she pulled herself out fully from beneath the bed her red T-Shirt sticking to her body while she used one hand to hold up her blue shorts and her feet had blue sneakers on them. "Any way the name's Tamara the Hybridian but you can simply call me Tammy" Tammy introduced herself.

"Okay" Antoine stated nervously "Zhe name es Antoine D'Coolette"

"Antoine huh? Well I'm the Author of this story so I guess you should be heading back before I get into trouble"

"Author huh zhen what es Sonique doing at zhis moment?" Antoine asked before Tammy could send him back.

"Well..." Tammy hesitated 'Sonic at that particular moment (Zone not specified) was sleeping with his head resting on the chest of an ebony black hedgehog with red quill streaks. Juice the hedgehog held a camera and was taking a photo while the ebony hedgehog shot him a look that said "If you dare show anyone else that photo you're dead"' Tammy's eyes widened "Of course I do! It's just I don't think that it would be safe sorry. Besides I'm sure you'll find out soon enough" A green Juice suddenly burst in puffing and panting out of breath.

"Tammy, Tammy we made it onto 'Ask Scourge' so come and see" He panted while Tammy's jaw dropped then she gave Antoine a sideways glance.

"Well Ant see you in the future maybe" She then snapped her fingers together and Antoine once again found the world spinning.

He stumbled a bit when it stopped quite dizzy and slightly worse for wear. "Zhat, what was zhat?" he wondered out loud as he glanced around to find that Tamara and Taiesha had managed to sneak out of his line of vision.

"Oh that was nothing important Antoine just a little detour so now catch up to your friends" Tammy's voice broke in.

"Oui I shall Tammy" Antoine stated then he walked to try and catch up to Tamara and Taiesha. Tamara then came running back and passed him art first then realizing that he was there facepalmed while Antoine looked on slightly amused.

"Darn it how'd I just pass you by?" Tamara asked slightly annoyed at having passed him unknowingly "Anyway you wouldn't believe it Sophie's being kidnapped"

"Who?" Antoine asked confused while Tamara dragged him towards the village.

"How, how can you stand that freezing water?" Diamond asked Betty worriedly. Betty didn't respond she simply continued ploughing through the water like Garfield ploughs through lasagne. "Betty you're scaring me" Diamond called out causing Betty to stop and start treading water staring confusedly at the young cub sitting in the boat.

"But haven't you ever seen someone swimming before?" Betty asked confusion still written all over her face.

"Yes but how can you stand the freezing water?"

"It's not that cold" Betty stated now doing the backstroke to pull the boat along then suddenly she let out a cry of shock "Yi that's hot" Betty gasped only now noticing how far they'd come.

"No it's not" Diamond stated dipping one hand into the water "It's lukewarm just right for swimming"

"Uh Nuh" Betty shook her head and then pulled herself into the boat and started to row "It's too hot I'm going to have to row us the rest of the way" She frowned slightly.

"You're strange" Diamond stated shaking her head.

Me: Okay I just added on the end bit to point out that Betty is going to have a few problems when it comes to temperature considering she's never travelled before Okay then read and review folks.
