SONIC DAILY COMICS

Week 7, Day 1

"Walked Into That One!"

Tails knocked on Cosmo's front door. Her sister, Nova, opened the door.

"Hi! Come on in!" Nova said, grinning. Tails wondered what she was planning to do to him this time.

"Cosmo should be in soon, she's getting ready," Nova said. "Can I take your coat?"
'No thanks!" Tails said. He'd finally figured out how she was making him look like he was losing and gaining weight.

"Would you like something to drink while you're waiting?" Nova went on.

"What do you want?" Tails asked.

"I want a new car!" Nova said. "Purple, with headlights that look like pony tails, so everybody will know it's my car!"

Tails blinked. "Wha?!? That's crazy!"

"But you'll build it for me anyway, because you love my sister," Nova said, still grinning.

"You're out of your mind!" Tails told her.

"Tails, hi!" Cosmo said, coming into the room. "Ready to go?"

"He was just saying how he's building me a new car!" Nova said.

"That's wonderful! I'm so glad you two are getting along so well!" Cosmo said, hugging Tails.

"Wait a minute!" Tails said.

"I'd like personal license plates," Nova said.

"But…" Tails started to say. "I never…"

"Well, if it's too difficult for you…" Nova said, looking sad.

"Nothing is too difficult for my genius boyfriend!" Cosmo said loyally. "You'll see! Tails will build your car exactly as you want it, won't you, Tails?"

"But I…I mean…she…"

"Great! See you kids later!" Nova said, skipping away.

"That was so nice of you, offering to build my sister a car!" Cosmo said.

"I…just couldn't say no," Tails told her, still dazed.

"Woo hoo!" Nova said to Starla and Sunflower. "I got me a car! Party time!"

Maybe Tails should have dated Cream after all.

Week 7, Day 2

"Bad Ol' Dr. Eggman!"

Dr. Eggman, having been defeated by Sonic, Knuckles, Amy, Tails, and even Cream, was desperately trying to find someone, anyone, that he could beat. When he came across Big fishing, he grinned.

"This guy is a moron! How can I fail?" he thought.

Eggman quickly built a robot out of soda cans and kite string. "Go, my fizzy servant! Stomp on that big, dumb purple cat! Ho ho ho!"

The soda robot came towards Big, just as he was throwing his fishing rod over his head to try to catch a fish. The hook caught the soda robot. It went soaring over Big's head, landing in the lake with a loud splash.

"Duh, I think I caught a big one!" Big said, reeling in his line. When he saw the soda robot, he was confused. Actually, Big was already confused, but he was now even more so than usual.

"Duh, this doesn't look like a fishie!" he said.

Eggman rushed back to his lair. "I should have known better to make such a stupid robot!" he said. "Surely one of my ingenious super robots will be able to beat that big moron!" He sent one of his new H-Series robots after Big, then hurried in his Eggmobile to the lake so that he could watch his victory.

When the robot approached Big, its footsteps made the ground shake. Big noticed, and looked back over his shoulder. "Duh, shhh. You're scaring the fishies!"

The robot stepped on Big. Eggman danced with joy. "I won! I finally beat somebody! I…"

Big pushed the robot off of him. "Duh, bad robot! How can I catch anything if you go stomping around all over the place?"

Big turned back to the lake and started fishing again. The robot, expecting to be attacked, turned to Eggman in confusion.

Eggman was hopping mad now. "Shoot him, you moron!" he yelled.

The robot opened fire on Big. The cat turned around. Pow! He sent the machine flying, where it promptly landed on Eggman with a crunch!

"Duh, I said quiet!" Big turned back to his fishing. "Now the fishies are all scared and won't bite! Bad ol' robot!"

Eggman, utterly defeated, limped home and started reading the want ads. Surely somebody somewhere needed a mad genius.

Week 7, Day 3

"Not Shadow's Day V"

Shadow didn't know how much longer he could put up with either the amusement park or Cream. "Why don't we just sit on a bench and play who can be quiet the longest?"

"That's boring!" Cream said, grabbing his arm. "Let's go on the swan boats!"

"Swan boats?!?" Shadow cried. "You have got to be kidding me! Hey, let go!"

Before Shadow knew it, they were in line for the swan boats.

"You'll like this," Cream said. "You just sit in a boat and peddle. It's almost like sitting on a bench, but you go places and see things!"

"Fine," Shadow said, rolling his eyes. "You peddle, I'll sit."

The ride did seem soothing, Shadow decided. As Cream peddled, Shadow shut his eyes. He wondered what Maria would have thought of this ride.

"Hey," Cream said, "somebody stuck their gum in the bottom of the boat! Yucky!" Shadow opened his eyes just in time to see Cream pry the gum loose. Unfortunately, it seemed to be very strong gum, since it was plugging a hole in the boat. Water started shooting up into the boat.

"Put it back!" Shadow cried.

"I'm trying!" Cream said. The gum suddenly shot out of her hand and into Shadow's hair.

"Oh, thanks a lot, kid!" Shadow said, trying to pull the gum out.

"Um…Mister Shadow," Cream said.

"What is it now?" Shadow demanded, still trying to get the gum out of his hair.

"I think we're sinking!"

"Well, of course, we're…"

Just then, the boat sank completely underwater. Cream started swimming. "Mister Shadow?" she called. "Mister Shadow, where are you?"

Shadow, it seemed, wasn't that much better a swimmer than Sonic. Cream had to grab him and pull him to shore. On land, she gave him CPR.

"You're sure lucky I learned how to do this from Tails," Cream said, as Shadow choked up water.

"Hey, buddy!" a park attendant said. "You just ruined one of our boats!" He gave Shadow a bill.

Shadow took one look at the bill. "I owe how much?!? Ahhh!"

"Now, now, Mister Shadow," Cream said, "Mommy says when you get angry to always count to ten first!"

"One…two…three…four…" Shadow hissed, a chaos spear appearing in his right hand.

Cream grabbed his left hand. "Come on! We've got a lot more rides to go on!"

"Who's your father, kid?" Shadow demanded as he was dragged along. "Hercules?"

Week 7, Day 4

"Magnetic Personality"

Amy Rose saw Sonic running towards her. She quickly climbed a tree and hid among its branches.

"I'll catch my Sonic this time!" she thought.

As Sonic raced towards the tree Amy was hiding in, she let down a chili dog on a string. "He'll have to stop to eat it, and then it's glomping time! Hee hee hee!"

But Sonic didn't stop. He grabbed the chili dog and kept on going. "Hey! Whoa!" Amy was pulled out of the tree, and started flying behind Sonic like a kite.

"Slow down, you maniac!" she shrieked.

"Huh?" Sonic said, stopping suddenly. Amy shot over his head. The string snapped, and Amy kept on going until she reached the lake.

Splash!

"Huh, thought somebody said something to me," Sonic said. He shrugged, finished the chili dog, tossed the string away, then took off again.

"Duh, Amy!" Big cried. "Get out of the lake! You're scaring the fishies away!"

"Aw, shut up!" Amy yelled, hitting Big with her pico-pico hammer.

Big looked up. "Huh? Did you feel a raindrop, Froggy?" Big had an awfully hard head.

Amy splashed back onto land. She'd get that Sonic yet!

"Ah, Miss Rose," Eggman said, coming out from behind a tree. "I think I can help you!"

"Why would you want to help me, Eggman?" Amy demanded.

"Because I think it's perfectly dreadful the way that Sonic mistreats such a nice girl as you," Eggman said. "Here, you can use these to catch him!" He handed her a pair of rocket skates.

"Well, I'll try anything!" Amy said, putting them on.

As Amy rocketed away, Eggman laughed. "Why should I be the only one that has to suffer from those stupid things?"

With her newfound speed, Amy soon found Sonic again. "Sonic Sonic Sonic Sonic Sonic!" she cried.

"What? Oh no! Amy!" Sonic speeded up.

Amy speeded up.

Sonic leaped a chasm.

Amy leaped a chasm.

Sonic ran up the side of a tree.

Amy rocketed up the side of a tree.

"There's no place you can't go that I can't follow!" Amy said sweetly. "Now pucker up, lover boy!"

"Well, let me buy you something first, okay?" Sonic asked.

"Well, okay, but no tricks!" she warned him.

Sonic went into a store and bought a large magnet. He had it gift wrapped, then came out and gave it to her. "Here you go!" he said. "Bye!" He sped off again.

Amy dropped her package. Clang! The magnet pulled her off her feet and clanked against her skates. "Huh? What's going on here?!?" She stood up. The package was still stuck to her skates. She pulled it loose. "I don't get it!" She said. She turned on her skates. Vrooom! And she was off again.

Sonic saw her coming. He led her to a metal bridge. Clang! Now the package was stuck to the bridge.

"Argh! What's wrong with this stupid thing?!?" Amy demanded, pulling the magnet free.

Sonic stopped under the bridge to laugh at Amy. Hearing this, Amy yelled, "Take your old present, you jerk!" She dropped it over the edge.

Clang! It hit Sonic right upside the head. Down he went.

"I got him! I got him!" Amy squaled, jumping down and picking Sonic up. As she walked home with a still groggy Sonic draped over her shoulder, she saw Dr. Eggman.

"Hey, Doc! Thanks! I got him!" Amy said happily.

Eggman had such a fit, men in white coats came and carried him away.

"Hedgehogs!" he kept yelling in the mental institution. "Hedgehogs everywhere! Blue and pink! Hedgehogs!"

"Now, now, Doctor," his psychiatrist assured him. "The bad old hedgehogs can't get you in here!"

Week 7, Day 5

"Pride Goeth Before The Fall!"

Knuckles was polishing the Master Emerald when he heard the flapping of wings.

"Hey, Knuckie!" a voice came from behind him.

Knuckles threw himself against the Master Emerald. "Get lost! There's no way I'm letting you take the Master Emerald again, you batty bat!"

"I came to see you handsome," Rouge said. "Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I don't!" Knuckles said. "You're a liar and a thief!"

"And you're the world's greatest guardian," Rouse purred.

"Well, yes, that is true," Knuckles admitted.

"And you're so strong," she said, placing her hand on his bicep.

"I'm the strongest!" Knuckles said, flexing his bicep and lifting her right off her feet.

"And you're so tough!" she added.

"I'm the toughest!" Knuckles agreed, the praise really getting to him.

"And you're so handsome!" she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"I'm the handsomest!" Knuckles said, closing his eyes and blushing.

"And you're so gullible!" Rouge said, suddenly sounding far away.

"I'm the gulliblest!" Knuckles said. "Wait. Is that a word?"

There was no answer. Knuckles opened his eyes.

Rouge was gone. So was the Master Emerald!

Amy Rose came by and found Knuckles beating his head against a wall. "Let me guess," she said, "you do it because it feels so good when you stop."

"No, that's not it!" Knuckles said. "It just gets to be a habit after awhile!"

Week 7, Day 6

"Brilliant Deduction, Watson!"

The Chaotix Detective Agency had fallen on bad times. They hadn't gotten a case in weeks. So when the phone rang, Vector, Espio, and Charmy were all shocked.

"H-hello?" Vector cried, finally answering the phone.

"Mister Vector?" came a familiar voice.

"Miss Vanilla?" Vector said. "Hi! How can the Chaotix help you?"

"I've misplaced an earring somewhere," Vanilla said. "I know it's a silly case, not worthy of your great talents as a detective, but it's a family heirloom, and I was hoping…"

"Say no more!" Vector said. "We're on our way!"

Vector dragged Espio and Charmy to Vanilla's house.

"It shouldn't take all three of us to find an earring!" Espio insisted.

"Yeah, and I've got some comics that need to be read!" Charmy added.

"Quiet, youse guys!" Vector said. "We're helping out Miss Vanilla, and that's just all there is to it!"

When they got to Vanilla's house, there was a note saying, "Gone grocery shopping. Be right back!"

"Okay," Vector said, "let's start looking for that earring! Maybe we can have it ready for her when she gets back!"

So Vector, Espio, and Charmy started searching Vanilla's house for the missing earring. They looked under the rugs and behind the curtains. They checked all of the closets and kitchen cupboards. Vector checked the refrigerator.

"Hey, this is pretty good!" he said, eating a tray of deviled eggs.

"Vector, we're supposed to be searching for Miss Vanilla's earring," Espio pointed out.

"Yeah," Charmy said, "stop pigging out…and give me some of those!"

Once the tray was empty, they finished their first search of the house.

"Okay," Vector said, "it wasn't any place easy to find, so we'll have to start moving things around! Get to it, you guys!"

This time, they threw the couch cushions on the floor. They tossed pillows, blankets, and sheets off of beds. They tossed cans and packages out of cupboards. They threw everything out of closets and dresser drawers all over the floor. Still no earring.

"Huh!" Vector said, scratching his head. "I just can't understand it! I know earrings are small, but we should have found it by now!"

Just then, the front door opened. "Hello, boys! I'm…" Vanilla's smiling face fell. Her eyes moved across the trashed kitchen and living room.

"Uh…heh heh!" Vector rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry, Miss Vanilla, but we've made a thorough search of the premises, and I'm afraid the missing earring simply isn't here!"

The groceries Vanilla had just purchased fell on the floor. She winced as she heard a dozen eggs go crunch. "I lost it outside in my garden," she said in a quiet voice. "My house! My poor, poor house!"

"Ah, don't cry, Miss Vanilla," Vector said, patting her on the back. "We'll find your earring!" He raced outside, followed by Espio and Charmy.

Before Vanilla could compose herself, they were back. "Found it!" Vector bragged, placing it in her hand. "We're great detectives, as you can plainly see!"

"But…my house!" Vanilla said.

"Oh, sorry," Vector said, "we're detectives, not janitors!"

"Uh…Vector…" Espio said. Vanilla was calmly walking across the kitchen.

"Oh, but you will clean my house for me, gentlemen," Vanilla said in a much too quiet voice as she picked up her broom.

"I'm sorry," Vector said, "but that's not our line of work, and…"

"Vector, I think you'd better shut up now," Charmy said.

"Yeah?" Vector demanded. "Why should I?"

Whack! Vanilla started hitting Vector with her broom.

"Clean. Up. My. HOUSE!!!" Vanilla yelled, hitting Vector with each word. "NOW!!!"

Afraid to do otherwise, the Chaotix quickly cleaned up Vanilla's house. She gave them each a piece of cake, then promised them more work in the near future.

The next day, the phone rang again at Chaotix headquarters. "Hello?" Vector said.

"Mister Vector, I'm a friend of Miss Vanilla's," came a voice over the phone. "I have a job for you."

The Chaotix showed up with their detective tools. "What's the case, lady?" Vector demanded.

"I need you to clean my house," she said. She was a seven foot tall tiger.

"Hey, sorry, lady," Vector said. "We're detectives, not cleaners!"

"Miss Vanilla said you were good at this sort of thing," the lady tiger said. "And I have to go to my job soon, so I don't have the time. But with the three of you working, I should have just enough time to supervise."

"Uh…if you don't mind my asking, Ma'am," Espio said, "what sort of job do you have?"

She cracked her knuckles. "Lady wrestler."

As they hurriedly started cleaning, Charmy said, "You know, Vector, I think Miss Vanilla is still kinda angry at us."

"Gee, Charmy," Vector said, "you think?!?"
