Hello again! Just like I said, Chapter 2 begins now! Enjoy:


Wednesday 11th, 9:00 AM:

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Sonic flew into the living room of the gang's penthouse and landed on a pile of folded clothes! "Ooooofff!"

Tails stared in shock. "SONIC! Do you realize how long it took me to fold ALL THAT LAUNDRY?" he shouted.

Just then, Knuckles walked into the room.

"Hey Sonic? You might want to save the acrobatics for outside."

Sonic stood up dazed. "HEY! Blame Amy! She's the one who threw me! All I did was ask her what day it was tomorrow and she freaked!"

Amy walked into the room looking paranoid. "Tomorrow is Thursday. And the day after that……"

"That'd be Friday?" Knuckles asked.

Amy shrieked. "AAAAAHHHH! How could I forget it's Friday the 13th?"

Suddenly Vector walked in. "Did you guys call me?"


A short time later, after all was explained…

Vector spoke up. "Oh, I see. The Reaper Man rumors, eh? I've been getting reports about those recently. And you guys think Amy knows something?"

Tails explained, while refolding the laundry Sonic messed up. "That's right. Apparently the guy Amy found two days ago was attacked by the Reaper Man himself!"

Sonic began to laugh. "Ha ha ha! Yeah, and I'm a swatbot!" "Ooooooff!"

Amy threw a towel at his head! "It's NOT FUNNY!"

"Well, it sounds like I've got another case to solve…" Vector believed.

Knuckles remembered something. "The biggest clue we can give you is the fact that all of the victims answered a strange message they received online at midnight. We think Amy should just stay offline for a while and nothing will happen to her."

Amy sat up suddenly. "……Offline?"

"Yeah, offline." Sonic repeated. "Not like that story you told us. 'I'm the most popular girl in all of Station Square'" he quoted her in a feminine voice. "Of course you wouldn't do anything as crazy as that, right?"

Amy now looked really shook up. "Don't be too sure…"

Now Sonic was surprised. "Get lost! You mean you actually MENT all that stuff you said last time?"

"I told you! I already answered him!"


FLASHBACK:

"Now here's the next question: Who is the most popular girl in Station Square?"

"That's easy! It's ME, naturally."

"……You?"

"What's the matter? Got a problem with that? If you think I'm lying, I dare you to come over and see for yourself why I'm the best! Come on! I'll show you!"

END FLASHBACK:


Knuckles began to speak. "Well then, in that case…"

"…you really ARE doomed." Sonic finished.

Amy began to whine. "Waaaaaaahhhh! The Reaper Man is coming for me! What am I gonna do? Waaaaaahhh!"

Suddenly, a knock came from the front door. "I got it!" Tails said.

He opened the door. "EGGMAN!"

Yes, it was Eggman. But he looked, scared!

"Please help me! I'm begging you!"

Sonic ran straight to the front door.

"Eggman! Confess! YOU'RE the one who's been scaring Amy! YOU'RE the Reaper Man! ADMIT IT!"

Eggman became defensive. "No, wait! I need you to protect me from him!"

"What?" everyone said in unison.

But then, Vector looked around. "Hey guys. Where's Amy?"

She's taking a shower to try and calm down." Tails said.

Eggman stood up. "Oh, well excuse me. I'll just, uh, go check on her! See if she's ok!" He almost got away.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Everyone shouted and jumped on top of him holding him down! "OOOooooffff!"

Later, when Amy got back, Eggman was now sitting in the living room telling the others what had happened:


FLASHBACK:

"Decoe! Bocoe! Get started on fixing up my latest doomsday machine! This time I'll be sure to catch Sonic and his crew when they least expect it!" He left the room before the two of them could answer back.

The two robots looked confusingly at each other.

"Why do we always work tirelessly when we know he's going to fail anyway?" Decoe asked.

"Maybe some people just need a hobby." Bocoe thought. "And maybe Dr. Eggman's is building machines just to be destroyed. I can't imagine why…"

But before they could think any longer…… 'SLASH!' 'CHING!' 'SLASH!'

When Eggman returned, the two robots were cut to pieces!

"Ooooh……My loyal workers! Speak to me!"

"………Wish…we…could... 'blip'!"

ENDFLASHBACK:


Everyone looked pretty worried now.

"Whoa. It looks like these rumors aren't just rumors anymore…" Tails said.

"Looks like you're in real trouble, Amy." Sonic mentioned.

"NOOOOOOOO! I don't wanna be sliced to pieces like Eggman's clunky robots! Waaaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Vector then stood up enthusiastically. "Don't worry, Amy! Don't forget, I'm a professional detective! And there's no crime I can't solve! I'll have that creep locked up before he ever raises his reaping scythe to you!"

Knuckles butted in. "Do you really wanna upset her MORE by making promises you can't keep, Vector?"

Vector looked insulted. "What's that? Yo, Knux! Don't underestimate my sleuthing talents! I'm one of the best there is!"

Amy just stood motionless, with a shocked expression frozen on her face.

Sonic spoke up. "Enough showing off, Vector. Maybe you should star by helping Amy down. She passed out!"

"While standing no less…" Tails noticed.

"Yep. She missed your speech, Vec. Sorry…"

"WHAT? Oh, darn! And it was a good one too…"


I'll most likely have the last part up by tomorrow. The perfect day to finish! R&R! THANKS!
