Ch. 2 Dude, where's my emerald?

Sonic and co. were at the gem store looking for the Master emerald.  Knuckles was asking the cashier about it.  "Sorry, someone just bought it 3 minutes ago," said the cashier.

"If only we'd gotten here three minutes sooner," Knuckles sighed.

 "Oh well.  Can we go to the movies now?" asked Sonic.

 "No, we have to find the Master Emerald first," said Rouge.

  "Why?  So you can sell it again?" asked Knuckles.

 "If they just bought it just three minutes ago, whoever has it couldn't have gotten very far," said Tails. 

"Ok then, let's go find the master emerald!"  Sonic said.

"Where should we look first?" asked Tails. 

"I know where.  What about at the movies?" Sonic suggested.

"Just give it up already," said Shadow.

"I know!  There's a gem collector that lives somewhere not to far from here.  Maybe they bought it," said Rouge.

So they all left the gem store in search of the Master Emerald. 

* In a dark, scary place *

A strange spherical object was glowing, waiting for someone to find it.

* Elsewhere *

Lyn opened her the door to her house and was about to go in when she heard a voice.

It said, "Lyn.  Lyn!"  She looked behind her and didn't see anyone.  "I'm in the alley," echoed the voice.

Lyn walked into the alley next to her house and saw a strange glowing light "It's so beautiful," Lyn said in astonishment.

* Wherever Sonic and co. are *

"We've already been looking for umm… I don't have a watch.  Tails, do you know how long we've been looking for?" asked Sonic.

"We've only been looking for five minutes, Sonic. That's the seventh time you've asked," said the annoyed kitsune.

"Well, I've been looking for five minutes too long.  I'm going to the movies," said Sonic.

"Not so fast.  If I have to be stuck here so do you," said Eggman. 

"Alright, fine.  Stupid," Sonic muttered under his breath.

"Sonic, aren't you the one who said to look for the master emerald in the first place?" Shadow remarked.

"What are you talking about?  I never said any such thing," Sonic said in defense as he crossed his arms.

"Sure you did.  Look up at the beginning of the chapter," said Shadow. 

Sonic looked up and saw the part Shadow was talking about, "Yeah, so what's your point?"

"Ah never mind," Shadow said knowing there was no point in arguing any farther. 

They walked until they got to the gem collector's house.  Knuckles went up to the door and knocked.  A strange person came out.

"Hello, have you seen this emerald?" Knuckles asked, holding up a picture of the Master Emerald. 

"Hmmmm," the strange person inspected the picture "Oh yeah.  I just bought it from the gem store down the street."

"Can I see it?" asked Knuckles.

"Sure," said the strange person as they went to go get the emerald.

"If they really have it what makes you think they'll give it to you?" asked Rouge.

"I don't know.  Why don't you think of something since you're the one who," Knuckles was cut off when the strange person returned.

"Sorry, I just remembered I sold it to someone else," said the strange person. 

"What did this person look like?" asked Knuckles. 

"How should I know?  I don't remember," the strange person said as they shut the door.

"Now what?" wondered Knuckles. 

"Why don't you put up signs of the Master Emerald around the city and give a reward to the person who gives it back to you?" Rouge suggested.  

 "That's the dumbest idea I ever heard but I guess it's worth a try," said Knuckles.

"We can go to my apartment!" said Amy in her perky little voice.

"Why?" Knuckles asked.

"Because I have a photo copier and I haven't said anything for this whole chapter," Amy replied.

"Works for me," Knuckles said as they all headed towards Amy's house.

* At Lyn's house*

Lyn had taken the glowing object inside of her house and was staring at, wondering what it was.

It then started to speak, "Hello Lyn," it said.

"It can talk!?" Lyn was surprised.

"Of course.  After all I am magic," said the object sitting on Lyn's kitchen table. 

The small object stopped glowing and revealed itself to be…  A gobstopper!  You weren't expecting that now were you? 

"Oh YUM!  I love gobstoppers!" Lyn happily as she picked up the gobstopper and was about to eat it.

"No!  Don't eat me!  Please!  I… uh… I can grant you wishes! Anything you want!  Just don't eat me!" the gobstopper yelled. 

Lyn put the gobstopper down and said, "I want gobstoppers!"

"Ok," the magical gobstopper said as a box of gobstoppers appeared on the table. 

"Oh yay!  Thank you!" said Lyn as she opened the box and popped a gobstopper in her mouth.  A layer of the magical gobstopper then disappeared. 

"Hey!  You're color changed from purple to blue!  Why?" asked Lyn.

"Every time I grant a wish a layer of me disappears," the gobstopper replied.

 "What happens when you're gone?" Lyn wondered

"I don't really know," said the gobstopper.

"So can I have another wish umm…what's your name?" Lyn asked. 

"My name?  I don't have a name," the gobstopper glowed with every word it spoke.

"Hmm.  What about I call you Magical Gobstopper.  M.G. for short," said Lyn.

"Oh you're so creative," M.G. said sarcastically.

"I know!^_^ Now I wish for… a flying elephant!" Lyn said.  But this time nothing happened.  "Hmm?  Where's my elephant?" wondered Lyn.

"That's strange.  Why didn't it work?" M.G was just as stumped as Lyn.  "I know!  Follow me!" the gobstopper ran out of the house followed by Lyn.
