An idea bulb lighted up over Chicky's head, "Me save you! Me save you!" Chicky stuck out his stubby arms and they instantly extended down into the water.
Coconuts meanwhile hit the bottom of the lab floor. He started freaking out waving his arms around when he suddenly realized he didn't need to breathe. He slapped himself on the forehead.
He tried to move his feet, but his body was so heavy under the water, he found it almost impossible to get very far without tiring himself out. He gazed around and then spotted what was keeping the room from draining: a deactivated robot was sitting on top of the drain. Coconuts remembered that Dr. Robotnik had him install the drain the last time the laboratory had flooded.
Suddenly a pair of hands came down into the water and felt around on the bottom of the lab floor. Coconuts freaked out and pulled out another plunger. He swung hard, smacking one of the hands away from him. The hand went flying into the deactivated robot.
The hand grabbed onto the robot and other hand joined it and they slowly reeled it up towards the surface.
As the robot was towed up, the tears were immediatley drained.
Once the fortress was water-free, Coconuts shook his waterlogged circuits. "Glad Wobotnik watewpwoofed me..." he groaned, stepping out of the room. He was suprised to notice that the halls were soaked with tears as well. "Yowza!" he cried, "That kid flooded the ENTIWE fowtwess!! Good it thing it al dwained tho'..."
His lightbulb suddenly flashed above. "WaitwaitWAIT!!!" he cried, "If it flooded Evewy place, then THAT must mean..." He raced to as many bathrooms as he could. Sure enough, the drained tears had washed all the toilets.
"Wow! WOW!!!" he cried, "'Dat kid weally DID come in handy after all!!!"
Coconuts whooped with joy and jumped up and down. "WHOO-HOO!" he squealed. His lightbulb flashed brightly and he ran back to where Chicky was. "Monkeyman!" Chicky cried. He ran toward Coconuts and before he could do anything, Coconuts hugged him. "Thanks, you cweaned those filthy toilets afta all!" Coconuts said, with a smile on his face. "Now, can I pwease have the hat back? Pwetty pwease with sugar lumps, and a chewwy on top?"
Chicky cocked his head. "What hat?"
What hat?" said Coconuts, "The hat that makes up youw--" He suddenly gasped, realizing the hat WAS Chicky's face. If he wanted that hat back, then he'd probably have to take apart the young robot. But he couldn't do that! Chicky helped with the toilet cleaning in a single sob. But if he didn't get the hat back, Robotnik would surely rip HIM to pieces. And no doubt he would do something just as rotten to poor Chicky.
Sighing, he reluctantly held up a screwdriver. "Sowwy, Chicky..." he moaned to the confused looking baby-bot, "But youw gonna get twashed by Wobotnik anyway..."
Coconuts backed up Chicky to the wall, "C'mon! Don't make this harder than it is, kid!"
Chicky sniffled, and a little tear rolled down his face. Coconuts's lip quivered and the screwdriver fell to the floor, "Aw! I can't do it! I can't! I can't! Oh, what am I gonna do?"
The floor began to rumble and Coconuts darted to the window, with Chicky stumbling behind him. They peered down and saw Robotnik's fleet of robots and attack vehicles fast approaching the fortress, with Dr. Robotnik's Egg-o-Matic in the lead.
Coconuts quaked and started to panic, "What am _I_ gonna do? What's Dr. Wobotnik gonna do TO US!" He nervously started biting his fingers, trying to think up an idea, a plan, an escape route...ANYTHING!
