Hello, everybody! Since some of you have requested it, welcome back to Blue Moonlight! To make it better for you to enjoy, I'll put your characters in if you request it. But as usual, I own no other characters because they belong to Sega. Now let's get started, shall we?
It was yet another beautiful day in Station Square. Summer had just started two weeks ago, and everybody had the fever. The city pools were filled to maximum. Theaters were packed with viewers seeing new blockbuster hits. The Emerald Coast was swarmed by tourists. And finally, when the evening had begun, Blue Moonlight was the most popular night spot for families and tourists. As you all remember, the Blue Moonlight is the new family night club part-time owned by Sonic himself. It's always nice to make a few bucks when you're not busy saving the world, y'know?
Meanwhile, in the middle of this vast metropolis was the sky high apartment home of Amy Rose. This morning she was just finishing polishing her gold plated microphone trophy she won quite a while ago, in the Blue Moonlight Karaoke Contest. When she finished, Amy laid her head back on her sofa and remembered that very night, just like a cliché cartoon flashback. She would always remember that night for she sang with her heart, thanks to her hero. For it was his words of encouragement that inspired her to perform. But when she brought herself back to reality, she seemed a little……disappointed.
"'Sigh' That was the first time I was able to sing in front of Sonic with so much feeling. And since then the ONLY time! I just wonder if I'll have a chance to do it for him again…"
A short time later when it was close to 1pm, Amy had returned home from the supermarket with her weekly groceries. She set the bags in the kitchen and unpacked the chicken noodle soup, so she could make her lunch. After she got the water boiling, she gazed over at her answering machine. There was one unheard message, obviously left while she was shopping. Amy then walked over and played the recording:
" 'BEEP!' Hey there, Amy! It's Sonic! Listen, I've got something important to discuss with ya. But I won't say now 'cause I'm a little busy. So call me back when you get this, ok? Thanks!"
Now Amy felt excited. "Something important?...With ME? Could it finally be an official DATE? YES! Oh, I've waited SO LONG for this day to come! Oh, yes yes yes YES!" But suddenly, she stopped herself. "Wait-a-minute. Every time I think that's the case, it always isn't! And I always end up feeling disappointed…………Hmm, alright then! This time, I'll just call him, and see what he wants. And whatever it is, I'll make sure I don't go crazy, or emotional………too much, anyway."
So, after Amy ate her lunch she picked up her phone, and dialed Sonic's number. After three rings, he answered.
"Hello?"
"Hiya, Sonic! It's Amy!" she said in a cheerful voice.
"Ah, hey girl! I take it you got my message?"
"That's right! So how are ya doin' so far this summer, huh?"
Sonic paused for a moment. "Well now that you mentioned it, I'm in a bit of a slump. Which is why I called you earlier."
Now Amy was curious. "Why? What is it?"
"Well you see, the Blue Moonlight business has been doin' great since opening night, and we've had customers day in and day out like crazy!"
"And, that's a good thing, right?"
"Well yeah, of course. Except, I don't think it's enough."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I mean its summer! And places as popular as that need some kind of summer entertainment to please more customers. So believe it or not, I've decided to hold another karaoke night!"
Amy felt very excited! "REALLY? WOW, that sounds great! That will definitely be good summer entertainment!"
"That it would, Amy. However, I still need your help with something. Something missing."
"Really? What?"
"A gimmick. I need some type of twist to go with it to mix up the variety. Not to mention give the singers a challenge to deal with!"
"Hey, that sounds cool! I'd like a challenge!"
Sonic agreed. "Yep! And that's why I need your help. Because when I try to think of one, all I got is a blank! So, do YOU have any ideas that may be good to try?"
Amy was silent for a few seconds as she tried to think of what she believed would be a good twist to use. Then suddenly, "HEY! I think I've got one!"
Sonic stood up. "Really? What is it? Lay it on me!"
Amy then told Sonic her idea. It was a little muffled over the phone line, but Sonic could hear every detail perfectly.
When she was finished, "Hey! THAT sounds like a good idea, Amy!"
Amy blushed lightly. "Really? You think so, Sonic?"
"You bet I do! I wouldn't lie to ya! Thanks-a-lot! I'll start the preparations!"
"Cool! Glad I could help. Well, good luck Sonic!"
"Oop! Amy, WAIT!"
Amy grabbed her receiver again. "What?"
"One more thing. I'll schedule the event to happen this Friday. Tell Tails, Knuckles, and everyone else about it, and tell them all to arrive at 7:00 pm sharp like last time. And, don't reveal your twist suggestion to them when you do! I want to make sure they'll all be surprised when they show up, OK?"
"Sure thing, Sonic! You can count on me!" she said vigorously.
"I know I can! He, he, he. Once again, thanks for all your help!"
"No problem. Then I guess I'll see you Friday! Bye!"
"Yeah. See you there! Bye!"
Amy then hung up her phone, picked it up again, and dialed a different number.
"I should call everyone now and tell them to be ready! This is gonna be FUN!"
A few days later (as these things go), Friday had come. It was 6pm. Amy had just finished getting herself ready to go to Blue Moonlight. She wore the same dress as norm, but it was shaded in a more magenta to violet color. So was her headband and shoes. Soon there was a knock on her door. She answered it a found Cream and Rouge standing outside. Cream was dressed in a cute little lavender shirt and skirt, and matching bow on her right ear. Rouge wore her same outfit, but the pink areas were replaced by aqua (it matched her eyes).
The other girls were waiting downstairs in the apartment building lobby. Sally wore here usual vest and boots, but they were dark purple. Julie-Su wore a light, emerald green tank that matched her boots, and matching shorts. Bunnie wore her usual cowgirl vest and hat.And Mina wore a violet tank and indigo shorts. Her shoes were the same.
"Hey there, girl!" Rouge said. "You ready to head on over?"
"You bet I am!" Amy answered cheerfully. "But, where are the guys?"
Cream answered. "Tails, Mr. Knuckles, and Mr. Shadow went to meet up with the Chaotix and meet us there."
"Alright! Then lets get goin', girls!"
"YEAH!" they all said in unison.
6:50pm: The girls finally met up with all the guys at the front entrance to the club. All the guys looked the same, of course (they don't wear anything but shoes and glovesanyway). Unless you count Vector wearing his gold chain and headphones.
Anyway, when Vector's gold watch struck 7:00, the doors opened and Sonic greeted everyone, in a way that strangely resembled last time.
"Welcome, all! Welcome, to the Blue Moonlight!"
The lights suddenly kicked on inside as all the guest began to find seats. Human, animal, and robot alike, just like last time. Amy and the girls all sat at one table again, and the guys branched out to other ones close to the front. A few minutes after everyone settled down, Sonic stepped out onto the stage and everyone gave him a big applause. Sonic then grabbed his mike.
"Thank you, thank you. Hello, greeting, and hi everybody! I'm glad you could all make it here tonight for the second karaoke night being held here. Tonight we've got many willing participants to entertain you, and help you relax on this beautiful summer evening."
Sonic pointed out the window, and everyone saw a beautiful sunset forming in the distance.
"Now before we get things under way, allow me to introduce tonight's band!"
A small portion of the curtain opened behind Sonic, and Mina's old band group was revealed. And this time, two robots, humanoid physique types, were also in the group. They all waved to the audience, as they applauded.
Sonic spoke again. "And now, I'd like to present for your enjoyment, tonight's opening act! Hit it!"
The lights dimmed, and a light blue spotlight pointed toward the stage. Suddenly, everyone looked up, and saw a familiar looking blue figure begin to descend from the ceiling. It was………CHAOS! He was in his most basic form, and was wearing a mini, ear-clip microphone. A techno melody started, and a voice came from the speakers:
"Yo listen up! Here's the story,
About a little guy that lives in the blue world.
And all day and all night, and everything he sees,
Is just blue. Like him, inside and outside.
Blue his house, with a blue little window,
And a blue corvette, and everything is blue for him.
And his-self and everybody around,
Cuz he ain't got, nobody, to listen……"
The mike hooked on Chaos allowed him to sing!
"I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!
I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!"
Chaos danced to the music, as he continued to sing!
"I have a blue house with a blue window,
Blue is the color I'd thought that I'd wear!
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too,
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue!
Blue are the people here who walk around,
Blue like my corvette, it's sitting outside!
Blue are the words I say and what I think,
Blue are the feelings that live inside me!"
"I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!
I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!"
(Voice) "Inside and outside,
Blue his house, with a blue little window,
And a blue corvette, and everything is blue for him.
And his-self and everybody around,
Cuz he ain't got, nobody, to listen……"
"I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!
I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba di da ba di,
Da ba dee da ba di, da ba dee da ba di!"
The band finished the song. The crowd went wild and applauded loudly. Everyone was impressed.
"Wow. Who knew he had it in him?" Knuckles said to himself.
Sonic got back on stage. "Well, that's a nice way to start things of, isn't it? Now then, before we have our contestants perform this evening, I have one announcement to make. Tonight, we've added a little twist to how you all will perform this evening!"
The audience's eyes widened. Except Amy's, of course. For she knew exactly what Sonic was talking about. Now the crowd wondered: what could this twist possibly be?
Well, you'll all just have to wait and find out! Haha! Anyway, like I said earlier, I'd be happy to include your characters in the event as well if you wish (that's become quite popular, ain't it?). No song requests this time, please. I've practically got them all planned out. 'Til next time! R&R please!
