To Reviewer kawaii kaloha: Thanks—good idea! Again, you'll see it. Maybe not this chap, maybe not the next chap, but in the rest of the fic.

To reviewer PokemonHokeycon: No problemo! ;) Looking forward to more from ya.

To reviewer Prince Izzy1: --...Probably right. I've never done that sort of thing before, either, mainly because I don't know a lot of the terminology that people use (I'm so outdated). Maybe I should have kept it that way...Just couldn't think of anything else you'd buy at a Black Market. Thanks for pointing that out. I really appreciate it. No more, then. You liked that part? It was actually an accident that popped into my head as I was writing it...What you would call a fortunate mistake. And the Rouge idea I got from a reviewer, so...I'm just trying to squeeze in all requests within proximity. I was actually doing the PG-13 just as a caution, as well. Didn't expect it to actually BE a PG-13. Oh well. Better safe than sorry.

5. The Doctor (Part 2)

"I'm going to see that doctor. I don't care what you guys are doing," Tails sighed, turning and heading to the doctor's office.

Knuckles hurried and caught up to him.

The two of them reached the door and Tails opened it. Suddenly TJ disappeared from his arms and appeared in the chair in the office.

"ACK! TJ! Are you okay?!" Tails exclaimed, flailing his arms to try to reach his chao.

Knuckles gasped and pointed out the other being in the office that he had just noticed. "Th-that chao! He looks like he hasn't slept in weeks!"

The chao threw his stethoscope like a blackjack at Knuckles' head. "Respect your elders! It's the Albert Einstein look."

"Vogue," Knuckles muttered before passing out.

The chao looked to TJ, staring him up and down. Tails watched as he shook his head in dismay.

"What is it? What is it, doctor? Give it to me straight—I can take it!" Tails pleaded.

"This is not good," the doctor began.

"What? What doesn't look good?"

The doctor looked up. "Huh? Oh—my hair. Your friend was right—I should've gelled it this morning..."

"WHAT ABOUT TJ??!" Tails screamed.

"Oh! Oh! Of course. Patience, my boy. Your chao's perfectly alright. Take good care of it."

Right away, TJ was back in Tails' arms and they both stood outside the doctor's office, Knuckles in an unconscious heap at their feet. Tails looked around the room for Sonic, and spotted him still at the Black Market. Leaving Knuckles there, he moved to stand at Sonic's side.

"Are we done here, Sonic?"

"Tails! It's rude to interrupt!" Sonic scolded abruptly before turning back to the chao with the mask. "How bout now? Is it less expensive? Can I buy it now? Do I have enough? Well? Do I?"

The chao looked at his wrist—even though there was no watch there. "Oh! What do ya know? It's closing time. Please come back another day." With that, he slammed the doors shut, catching Sonic's nose between them.

"Heny! Net my nose go!" cried Sonic as Tails stood, watching.

Sonic pulled as the chao just strained harder to close the door. After much more struggling, Tails flinched on hearing a sickening pop and the slam of locker doors.

"My nose!"

Tails opened his eyes to see Sonic bend down and pick up something small and black on the floor. He jumped as he felt what he thought was a hand land on his foot. He glanced downward and saw Knuckles' hand cupping the toe of his shoe. So he had managed to crawl over.

Sonic turned to Tails, and the fox's attention was immediately drawn to the new look of Sonic's face. Sonic stared wistfully at the black thing in the palm of his hand. "What am I gonna do now?"

"Go to the doctor..." groaned the heap at their feet.

"Not again," whined Tails. "I'll fix it for ya, Sonic! Let's just get back to the chao garden. I want out of this place right now."

A drop of red liquid fell from where Sonic's nose had been. It hit Knuckles' glove.

"It gives literal meaning to the game, Bloody Knuckles," Tails mused.

"Not funny!" Knuckled moaned, struggling to his feet.

Sonic made to dash for the door. "Let's get going, guys! We still have to find Cheese and get back before Cream comes home!" He sped off, as Knuckles and Tails winced on the loud crash.

Tails slowly moved to the door. "I wish he'd really watch for the door, for once..."

Knuckles prodded the hedgehog plastered to the wall beside the door. "Now that's what I call a Sonic Boom."

Um...I don't think I'll say anything much this time...Just, please tell me if it's getting stupid and give me your ideas of things you'd like to see...:D
