At Sonics house…

Sonic goes to get some Coca Cola only to find they were out.

"We are outta drinks" he called. Knuckles got up and threw off the bra and necklace he was wearing from the pass the parcel game.

"Don't worry I'll get to the shop and get more" Knuckles offered but Sonic could tell he only offered so that he could take off the clothes.

Tails also got up "I'll come with you Knuckles," Knuckles gave Tails a look that meant 'If you want,'

They both left the house. "Right" announced Sonic and everyone was quiet, "Until Knuckles and Tails get back we will have another game. Now in this game we all have to pick a dare for someone else to do. Right I'll go first… err…" Sonic looked at each guest, deciding on which one he should torture.

"…Shadow… I dare you to…" he thought for a moment, "… Snog Rouge…"

Rouge slapped Sonic hard, "You know I hate snogging!" she snarled. Shadow just stared at Sonic with his mouth open, "Are you serious?" he asked.

"Well duh! If I wasn't serious I wouldn't have asked you!" replied Sonic. Shadow gave a long sigh and approached Rouge who had no choice but to respond.

"Properly!" added Sonic. Shadow and Rouge started to kiss properly although neither enjoyed it. On the contrary they HATED it!

Meanwhile back at Eggman's base… the voice continued to inform Eggman of the machines progress "Charging at 87,"

5 minutes later the machine was fully charged and ready, "Finally!" called Eggman impatiently, "I can annihilate that damn hedgehog… FIRE!"

Eggman pressed the button and a bright blue beam shot out of the end of the laser and shot directly at Sonic's house.

The whole house was then lit by the bright blue beam and everyone in it started growing beards and shrivelling up "Ahhhh!" screamed Amy "My worst nightmare come true!"

"What?" asked Rouge, whose outfit had turned into an old ladies dress, "Sonic died?"
"No it's worse then that…" replied Amy. Rouge stared at her, "But you said nothing could be worse than Sonic dying, so what's the problem?"

"I GOT WRINKLES!" bellowed Amy, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

" Haven't we all?" replied Rouge angrily. It was true, everyone had deep wrinkles that made them all at least 70 years old. Cream's fingers were all wrinkled and even Cheese lost her ability to fly through her aging and collapsed. Cream's bright shoes had turned into back-less slippers, Sonic had the same clothes but also had wrinkles and, as Eggman predicted, his ageing had caused him to lose his super speed. Shadow had the same looks "Now everyone remain calm, now, what the hell happened here?" he asked.

"EGGMAN!" replied Sonic, "I bet he had a miracle and found a way to age us all!"

Amy ran up to Sonic and started to hug him and shake him, "Sonic, there's got to be something you can do, it's ruining my beauty, I don't want to look like an old granny!" she cried tugging at him.

"Sorry Amy…" he replied, "My ageing has caused me to lose my ability, I've been beaten…"

Amy began knocking Sonics head and shouted, "NEVER GIVE UP SONIC, YOU TAUGHT ME THAT!"

"But if I can't run, who is going to sort this out?" Sonic asked.

Shadow glared at him "This ageing thing has affected your brain as well!" he said. Sonic angrily replied "IT HAS NOT!"

Shadow continued, "Then you should know what just happened 5 minutes ago!"

Sonic thought for a moment then realised what Shadow was saying, "Oh yeah Knuckles and Tails!"

"He DOES have a brain!" Shadow said to himself.

"Knuckles and Tails haven't been affected because they aren't here so they are the only ones who can save us!" Sonic added, "I just hope they hurry!"

"YEAH!" shouted Amy, "I want my looks back!"

"They are not miracle workers Amy!" said Rouge.

10 minutes later, Knuckles and Tails arrived back, Knuckles dropped the drinks at the sight of he's friends, old and collapsed on the floor.

"FIND...EGGMAN…REVERSE...THE EFFECTS...IT'S...UP...TO...YOU...TWO…" staggered Sonic and they all collapsed on the floor.

"Eggman's going to pay for messing with my friends" said Knuckles angrily, "It's up to us two, Tails, we must find Eggman and stop him once and for all!"

Tails knelt down next to Sonic and whispered "Don't worry Sonic, we'll have you back to your old self soon…"

He got up and looked at knuckles "We'll take the X- Tornado"

5 minutes later the X Tornado took off as Tails and Knuckles headed into the sunset in search of Eggman.
