Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic or other SEGA characters I do own Julian the Hedgehog and Roxie. I do not own Links Prower. Links belongs to MTP. Metara belongs to a friend of mine, who is called Metara. The clothes master 2.0 belongs to me. If there is another machine that can do this.than I'm sorry. I didn't read any story that had that.

Authors note: Flames are accepted here. You people can imagine if you want, that Barney is the purple dinosaur. I put 'big bird' (penguin) and 'barney' (make up your mind) in here because I thought it was hilarious. My mind has been known to not stay on one subject for a whole chapter, so that's way all of this is spontaneous. The story is really close to the dark part, so I hope I had some people hooked on the story. Anyway, R&R!

Chapter 10: Radical City Raceway.

Roxie woke up. She slowly opened her eyes to see if the sun came up yet. It still didn't. "Good. I can go give the surprise." She said as she got up and woke up the others. Rouge woke up with a yawn. "Where are we going?" she asked. "We're going to go wake up the boys." Roxie said. "Hmm?" said Tikal and Amy at the same time. " I wanna' give the surprise, now get up!" Roxie said as she pulled the others off the bed.

"I'll make the bed, just go and change." She said as she started making the bed. Rouge got her extra jumpsuit and went into the bathroom to change while Amy and Tikal waited for her. Rouge was taking a long time. "Yo, Rouge! What's taking ya'?" Tikal said as she banged on the door. "I'm putting on my make-up!" she said. "Oh, for cryin' out loud! You can do that later!" Amy said. Rouge then came out with only her eye-shadow on. She muttered curses under her breath as Amy slipped in with her original outfit in her hand. Roxie turned around and saw Amy.

"Amy! Put some jeans or shorts on. We're gonna' go to Radical city to kart race." She said. Amy then came back out. She turned toward Roxie and asked," Where can I find shorts and a shirt?" Roxie finished making the bed. She smirked as she walked to her bag and got out a little machine. "Time to try out my new toy! This is called the clothes master 2.0" she said as she showed Rouge, Tikal and Amy. "Oh! What does it do?" Tikal said. "It gives you clothes, so you don't have to buy some. See? Watch me." Roxie said as she placed the C.M 2.0 in front of her. There was a bright light. The light disappeared and in place of the blue skirt and tank top, Roxie was wearing denim cutoff shorts with a red tank top with her usual soap shoes. She had over her eyes black sunglasses. Her hair was in a pony-tail, with her red headband tied around it. On her lips she had pink lip gloss.

"See? It gives you clothes! Just think carefully what you want to wear and it gives you them." She said as she handed it to Amy. "Okay." She said as a light appeared and in place of her PJ's, she was wearing tight jeans with a pink bathing suit top. Her hair was still pushed back. She wore red sneakers with white stripes across them. She looked down at herself. "My sneakers look like Sonic's old shoes!"

Tikal then took the C.M 2.0. "My turn." She said as a light came and then in place of her PJ's there was a white sleeve-less shirt with black shorts. She wore white tennis shoes and she wore her hair in a pony-tail. Her locks gently fell across her face. "Yes! I look cool! Out of the old ancient clothing." She said as she handed Rouge the C.M 2.0. "I wanna' try a new style so here it goes." She said as a light appeared and instead of her jumpsuit, she wore a blue skirt with a white tube shirt. Instead of her loveable boots, she wore white sandals. She couldn't go out with her white long gloves, so instead she had white short gloves with pink bracelets. Her new style wouldn't suit her old hair style, so she had a few bangs hanging over her eyes, while she had her hair in a pony-tail. She no longer wore eye-shadow, but she still had her lip gloss. "Are we set?" asked Roxie. "Yeah we're set." The three said. Roxie's cell-phone began to ring at the moment. "Hold on for second, okay guys?" Roxie said as she answered the phone.

Roxie: What up? Oh, hi Julian! Is Links there? Great. I was wondering if you guys wanted to spend a day with me and Sonic & co.

Julian: Yeah sure. Links wants to go. He says he's got nothin' else to do.

Roxie: Alright, I want you to come because I got a friend and I want you to meet her.

Julian: Is she cute?

Roxie: I'm not gonna' answer that. You'll know what she looks like when you meet us at Radical city, at the kart racing place at 10 a.m.

Julian: ALL THE WAY THERE!!?? IT'S SO FAR!!

Roxie: Get there or else.

Links: Don't worry, we'll get there. Julian here still forgets that Radical City isn't far from Station Square.

Julian: You mean it ISN'T far from here?!

Roxie: Has he been eating that sugar again?

Links: Yup. You should see him now. He's jumping around the place. I beat him at one little game and he gets all hyper.

Roxie: Well, I gotta' go. I'm at the Mystic Ruins right now. See ya' there!

Links and Julian: Alright, Bye!

Roxie then turned off her cell and turned towards the girls. "Alright let's go." She said as she started towards the door with the others following her.

They came to Knuckles house and could easily open the door. "Knuckles never put in an alarm. He thinks that he is strong enough to beat the heck outta' people." Said Tikal as they went in. "Alright. Rouge and Amy. You guys make breakfast. Me and Tikal will wake up the boys." Said Roxie as Amy and Rouge headed into the kitchen while she and Tikal went into the bedroom. "Okay. Tikal try to wake up eggman." Said Roxie. "Why do I have to do it?" asked Tikal. "You're kinder, while I would scream in his ears, even if he is a part of the group." Said Roxie. Tikal started dragging the sleeping eggman to the shower. She placed him in the tub and turned the cold water on. Eggman woke up immediately. "Glad to see that you're awake; now help me and the others in the kitchen." Said Tikal as she helped him up, and walked to the kitchen with Eggman walking behind her. "I'm a scientist and look what I'm doing. Next I bet I'm going to be working at IHOP." Eggman muttered under his breath. "What was that!?" Tikal said as she turned around. "Nothing." Eggman said. "Good, now go!" Tikal said.

Roxie was still in the bedroom. "Now how the hell will I wake them up? I already know how to wake up Sonic, Shadow and Tails, but how do I wake up Knuckles? He wouldn't wake up even if there was a bomb." said Roxie as she sat down next to him. "Hmm, I'm gonna' use my charm on him, since he's so nervous around girls." She said as she sat down on Knuckles' bed beside him. "Oh, Knuckles." said Roxie in her sweetest voice.

Knuckles purred a bit. "He looks so cute when he's sleeping, but he can be one hell of a stubborn person when he's awake." Whispered Roxie. Unknown to her, Tails was awake and was watching her trying to wake up Knuckles.

"I still can't believe I slept through his snores." Thought Tails to himself. "Knuckles, what are you dreaming?" said Roxie. "I'm beating up somebody." Knuckles muttered. "Not very interesting." Roxie said. "Roxie is chasing me because I beat her at Unreal Tournament 2004" Knuckles said. "If that's the way he thinks he's gonna' get his Christmas present this year, he's not gonna' get it." Whispered Roxie. Knuckles then turned around. "Wake up Knuckles!" said Roxie as she got a pitcher of water and poured it over Knuckles. "Wh-at? What'd you do that for?" said Knuckles as he got up. "Time to go, that's why I woke you up, you baka." Said Roxie. "Oh, okay." said Knuckles while shrugging. "Go and help the others in the kitchen." Said Roxie as she pushed him out of the bedroom. "Now to wake up the others." Said Roxie as she neared Tails. Tails quickly closed his eyes. "Wake up Tails." Said Roxie as she messed up his hair. She looked at him and saw him smile a little.

"Tails? Are you awake?" said Roxie as shestopped messing up his hair. Tails slowly opened his baby blue eyes. "TAILS! You were awake!" said Roxie as she hauled him up. "Well, I was.um.uh.fine I was awake. I'm sorry." Said Tails as he looked down at the floor and stared at his feet. "Tails, I can't be mad at you." said Roxie as she cupped Tails' face in her hand. "Really?" Said Tails. "Really. Now go help Knuckles and the others in the kitchen." said Roxie as she pointed towards the door.

Tails walked out of it. "Now to wake up these two." Said Roxie as she stood over them. "Well, I'm beginning to feel a bit tired, so I'll just snuggle in between them." Said Roxie as she got into the space between them. Shadow then moved toward her a little and purred slowly. Sonic then seemed to snuggle up against her. Sonic and Shadow slowly opened there eyes to see her next to them. "AAHH!" they said as they got up and were looking at her. "Did you have to wake up so soon?" said Roxie as she opened one eye. "How'd you get here!?" said Shadow. "I got here with the girls to give you guys the present. I found you two sleeping, so I decided to sleep a little." Said Roxie as she got up.

She didn't notice though, that her hair was all messed up, sticking up in various places. Sonic and Shadow was snickering at it. "What's so funny?" Roxie said. She then got out her see through laptop and it projected a mirror. Her eye twitched slightly. "You are meanies!" she said as she straightened it out. She muttered some curses under her breath.

"Now let's go and eat breakfast." She said as she led them out of the room and made them sit down in the kitchen. "What's for breakfast?" asked Sonic. "Um, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausages, and some toast." Said Amy as she named these off her fingers. Sonic noticed that the guys were in the kitchen too. "Hey, did you guys cook?" asked Sonic as they all sat down. "Yup, they made us cook. I gotta' say I'm a chef myself, but Tails can't cook to save his life!" said Knuckles.

"Well, I did make the chocolate though." Said Tails as he served everyone some. "I made the eggs." Said Eggman. "Wow, isn't that surprising." Said Shadow under his breath. "Eat, people, eat! We have 10 minutes to get to Radical City." Said Roxie. As soon as she said that everyone seemed to finish in a few seconds. "Okay.let's go!" she said as she quickly cleaned the plates and was walking out the door. "Hey, wait! How are we going to get there?" asked Knuckles. "Oh, I'll let Eggman think of a way." Said Roxie. "Okay.we can use my eggwalker." Said Eggman as the gigantic eggwalker came towards them. "Cool." Said Sonic. "Let's go!" said Tikal and Rouge as they got on with Roxie and Eggman with them. "Well, I can't argue with them!" said Sonic as the boys hoped on and were headed toward Radical City.

In 10 minutes, they arrived at Radical City. They headed straight for the kart racing place. They could see a blue fox and a dark blue hedgehog waiting for them. "Julian! Links!" said Roxie as she got out and ran to see them. "Hey, Roxie!" said Links. "Hey, how are you guys?" said Roxie as she hugged her friends. "Good, we're good. So where's your friend?" asked Julian. "She's here. Amy!" said Roxie as she called for her. "Coming!" said Amy as she got out and ran to her. "Amy Rose, meet Julian the Hedgehog. Julian, meet Amy." Said Roxie as she made them shake hands. Julian smirked at Amy, which to her, was Sonic's famous smirk. "He really is like Sonic!" said Amy in Roxie's ear.

Everyone then came down from the eggwalker and introduced themselves. "Uh, Roxie? WE can't get in without any clothing." Said Links. "Oh, yes.I forgot about that. Here." Said Roxie as she tossed him the C.M 2.O from her bag. "Great! I always wanted to try it out!" said Links as he used it. When he finished, he was sporting baggy blue jeans with a blue shirt. He had a blue bandana around his blue hair. "Just what I always wanted." Said Links as he handed Julian the C.M. Roxie looked at him and grinned. "I'm blue an na ma de da ba di. Da ba di a ba di, da a di a ba di." Roxie sang while behind Links. "What did you say?" said Links as he turned around and shook her while her feet dangled in the air. "I'm blue an na ma de da ba di. Da ba di a ba di, da a di a ba di." She sang again. "That's it." Said Links as he dropped her and stared chasing her around the place with Roxie laughing madly. Julian then took the C.M and studied it. "Hmm." said Julian as he used the C.M. When he was done, he had on a tight blue tank top with a pink skirt and white sandles.Julian didn't seem to notice what he had on. "Whoa.hold on." Said Roxie as she held her hand out to stop Links from strangling her. "What?" said Links as he calmed down. "Look!" Roxie said as she pointed to Julian. "I always knew he was stopped when it came to machines." Links said as they walked over to him. "The guy looked like me without the clothes, but I'm way smarter then him." Said Sonic while grinning. Everyone was trying hard not to laugh. "What? What's so funny?" said Julian. "Here. You need this." Said Roxie between snickers as she got out of her bag a mirror and handed it to him. "AAAUUGGGHHHH!!!!" said Julian as they burst out laughing.

"You evil people!" said Julian as he changed into navy blue baggy shorts with a black shirt and his soap shoes, which were red at the tip and heel; other places black, and had a yellow buckle across it. Julian mumbled curses under his breathe as he tossed it to Roxie. "Ah, silly boy." Said Roxie as she petted his head. "Anyway. You guys next." Said Roxie as she tossed it to Tails. "Umm, okay." He said as he then was wearing blue jeans with an orange shirt that had two tails on it. "Nice work Tails!" said Roxie. "I never see anything that would really match my taste, so this really rocks." Said Tails. A sweat drop appeared on everyone's head.

"Hey Tails! Pass the merchandise!" said Sonic. Tails threw it to him. "Hm, now how does this thing work?" said Sonic puzzling. "I think you're supposed to press this button here." said Shadow as he pressed a button. The light revealed a big purple dress on Sonic and Shadow. "That was girls' attire. Boys attire is right under it." Said Roxie while shaking her head. "Oh, okay." Said Sonic as Shadow left him alone. Sonic was wearing his soap shoes with blue jeans and a black shirt that said in the back 'Blue Blur' all in blue. "Here." Said Sonic as he tossed it to Knuckles. "I am dressed." Said Knuckles as he put on his black shades. "Clothes Knuckles, CLOTHES." Roxie said. "Oh, okay then." He said. He had on beige baggy pants with a green shirt. He wore his usual shoes. "Hmm, pretty good." Knuckles said as he looked down at himself. "Catch!" said Knuckles as he tossed it to Shadow. "Okay, lets see." said Shadow as he pressed the button and had on a red shirt and black baggy jeans with his usual shoes. "Damn. I look good." Said Shadow. "Anyway, here." Said Shadow as he tossed it to Eggman. "Alright." He said as he pressed a button and was now sporting beige jeans with a brown jacket and a white shirt that said, 'Robotnik' in the front. But there was a difference in his appearance. He was no longer round and old looking. He was thin and young. "WHOA!" everyone said as they pointed to him. "I installed that button for a reason. When someone old uses it, they become younger, so now Eggman is 18." Said Roxie with her arms crossed. "Damn, eggman! What should we call you now?" said Sonic. "

Ivo." Said Ivo. "How about Iv?" said Knuckles? "Either one." Said Iv.

"Okay, let's go!" said Roxie as they all entered into Radical City Raceway. Everyone hoped into their own karts because they raced here before. "Roxie?" said a voice from behind them. "Huh? JAMES!" said Roxie as she came out and hugged her friend, James the echidna. "How are you?" asked Roxie as she let go. "I'm good, I'm good." Said James. "We're still friends, right?" said Roxie. "Yeah, of course!" said James. "Cool, cool." She said as they hugged in the ghetto way. "Tight, tight. So, got any girlfriends?" said Roxie. "Um, no, unfortunately." Said James. "Oh, that sucks. Sonic and Shady are my boyfriends." Said Roxie while pointing to Sonic and Shadow. "Come race with us!" said Roxie. "I can't." said James.

"Why not?" said Roxie with a puzzled look. "I work here, I can't go." Said James. "Just watch me." Said Roxie as she headed towards the mangers office. Everyone hears yelling and screaming and then a loud laugh, and then someone yelling in pain. Roxie opens the door and comes out with a big penguin behind her. "Now you have to let James race with us and take the whole week off." Said Roxie. "Sure, Roxie." Said the penguin. "That's 'Miss Roxie' to you, 'Big Bird!' " Roxie said as she pushed James to a black kart and made him sit. "See? I told you I could do it." Said Roxie as she got into hers. "Alright people, are you set?" said Roxie. "Yeah!" they all said. "Alright, start the clock!" said Roxie to the penguin as he set the clock. "3.2.1.GO!!" it said as they all raced off.

"And mommy asks why I never get a date.I'm just like Barney." Said the penguin as they all left. "Time to listen to some music." said Roxie as she put in a CD in her CD player her kart has. "Computer, track 6 please and after that, track 9." Said Roxie. "Right." Said her computer in the car as it programmed her CD player to go to track 6. "Faint.by Linkin Park." said Roxie as it began to play.

The song played as Roxie raced right past Knuckles, who was in the lead. "How come she has a CD player?" Sonic asked James as they raced past Rouge and Amy.

"I don't know." Said James as he got a little bit further then Sonic. "Its weird. A while ago she had this horrible nightmare, and now she's acting as though nothing happened." Sonic said as he caught up with James. Roxie was ahead of everybody. Shadow was with Tails, Tikal was with Links, who were behind them. Knuckles was with Julian, who both were behind her, Ivo was in front of Sonic and James, who were both in front of Amy and Rouge. "Really? You have to tell me about that, but I got a race to catch." Said James as he left Sonic and caught up with Shadow and Tails. Sonic caught up with James.

The guys only had to do one more lap, and then the race would be finished. Everyone's place was like this, 1st: Roxie, 2nd: Tails, Shadow, James, and Sonic. 3rd: Tikal and Links. 4th: Knuckles and Julian. 5th: Ivo. 6th: Amy. 7th: Rouge. It looked like Shadow was going to beat Roxie but yet again, she sang her song. "Hmm, hyper gear!!" Roxie said as she pressed a small green button. The kart kicked into hyper gear and raced past Shadow.

Amy and Rouge took second place. Tikal snuck up a spot with them. "We win!!!" They all said as they crossed the line. Roxie was 1st, Tikal, Rouge and Amy was 2nd. Shadow, Links, Tails, Sonic, and James was 3rd. Knuckles and Julian was 4th. And Ivo was in 5th. "Man! The girls beat us!" said Julian as they got out.

"Oh, at least 1 girl was with the boys." said Links as he got out. "Oh.you're gonna' get it!" said Julian as he started chasing Links. Links was laughing hard. "Nah, nah!" said Links. "That's it!" said Julian as he started to catch up. "Oh dang!" said Links as he saw Julian catching up. Links quickly ran behind Roxie. "Hah!" said Julian as he was about to push Roxie away, but his face met with the blunt end of her staff, R.T. The blow knocked him away, to the side of a building. "Ow." Julian said. "You silly boy." Said Roxie as she walked over to him and helped him up.

"Now, the surprise doesn't end there! We now go to the carnival!!!" Roxie said. "Links, you take the guys there, okay? Me and the girls got something to do there." Said Roxie as the girls joined her. "Okay, fine." Said Links. "Um, go there in about.half an hour." Said Roxie. "Fine, we'll get some sleep." Said Sonic as Links leaded them to his apartment. "Let's go!" Roxie said as she ran off with Rouge, Tikal and Amy running after her.

"So, what should we do?" Links said. A dark evil looking figure appeared above a building behind him. "Huh?" Tails said as he pointed to it. Everyone looked at it, and as quick as it came, it went in a few seconds. "That's was creepy." Knuckles said. "Aw.is little Knuckles afraid of da' big bad shadow?" Sonic said. "Ah, come on guys. I got some games at this apartment I rented." Links said. "Cool. Lets go!' Shadow said. And the group soon headed there.

The figure appeared behind a wall in an alley. The figure spoke into a cell- phone. "I got them Dr." it said. A voice responded. "Good. We'll meet again, Roxie Valas. Follow that group and send and tell Metara to go to the carnival." the voice said. The figure then dashed off into the alley.
