A/N: Hiyaz again. I told ya I wasn't done. Did anyone see the Sonic the Hedgehog movie? You know that video game that Robotnik and Sera were playing? That's what I'm talking about here. Only Carmie's in here instead of Sera. And AI means artificial intelligence. Okie? Cool.
9:35 am
" Get him in a headlock!" Tails shouted. Robotnik and Carmen were playing a video fighter game, with them as the fighters. AICarmen proceed to beat the crud out if AIRobotnik and the game flashed "You win!" across the screen.
" Whoo-hoo!" cried Carmen as she won the game for the 16th time in a row. She did a little victory dance around the TV, ending in a hi-five with Tails.
Robotnik groaned and shook his head. "Yeah, yeah, you beat me. Again." He stood up and sighed. He was tired of being whipped by an eleven-year-old kid.
" All right, what now?" he questioned the two.
They looked at each other with devious grins. Robotnik raised an eyebrow. What are those two up to, I wonder. Carmen and Tails were saying nothing but once again were on the same wavelength.
" I know what we could do," Carmen started. "We could play-"
" Hide and Seek!" Tails finished.
Robotnik let out a relieved breath. I must be overreacting. They're just kids. How evil can kids be?
9:40 a.m.
" 98, 99, 100!" Robotnik opened his eyes. The two were nowhere in sight. He looked around the room just to make sure they weren't hiding behind the door or something. He ran out the door, searching for the two children.
The room was silent as Tails calmly hovered down from the top corner of the room where he had been holding Carmen up. Robotnik had fortunately forgotten that he could fly and had neglected looking up. He hopped down to the ground and set Carmen on her feet.
" Told ya getting rid of him would be easy," He said to her. He peered carefully around the hallway to check for any guards. " All right, Carmen. The coast is clear. Stay close behind me, ok?" She nodded silently and followed him out into the hallway. Tails had explained to her that they were going to look around to see if Robotnik was building anything new. The Knothole crew could use all the help they could get, and the two were in the perfect position to do a bit of spying.
" Being a secret agent rocks!" she whispered excitedly. Tails grinned at that comment but then stopped, his ears picking up a noise coming around the corner. He pulled Carmen backwards and up into the air, one hand covering her mouth before she could say anything in surprise, his other hand half wrapped around her waist and holding hers, just in case she had the instinct to blast whoever was coming around the corner. She could feel his hands shaking as Robotnik walked around the corner. Please oh please don't let him see us! Tails thought frantically.
" Where could those two have disappeared to?" Robotnik wondered aloud. He paused to think about where they could possibly be. Above his head, Carmen was trying to wrestle her hand free of Tails' grip. She pulled away finally and blasted a marble sized ice ball from her finger. It made a light sound as it exploded somewhere down the metallic hallway. Robotnik looked up in the direction it had come from.
" Aha! I've got them now!" He raced down the hallway.
Tails hovered back down to the ground to rest his tired tails. " Good thinking, Carmen, " he said to his best friend. "I couldn't hold out for much longer." They headed in the opposite direction Robotnik had left.
10:00 a.m.
" All right, I give up." Robotnik announced defeatedly. " You can come out now." The two peered out from the end of the hallway. They had barely made it back in time to fool him. If he noticed that they were both slightly out of breath, he said nothing. The world-dominating-evil- genius part of him was beginning to take over. Two of the Freedom Fighters right here in front of me . I must bring them to my side…
