Chapter 1: Haunted Couch
Sonic walked around in his small, single bedroom apartment. Even though it was small, it was home. Knuckles, his slightly idiotic best friend, had decided to move in next door. He brought the Master Emerald with him of course, and continued to protect it. Amy visited often, along with Tails. Speaking of Tails….
"Sonic!" The door flew open to Sonics apartment. This was nothing new. Knocking was non-existent.
"What's up Tails?" Sonic said, standing up from his couch.
"I need to trade you couches."
"What?"
"I think my couch is haunted. I need to trade you couches. My dad is coming over and he WILL NOT sleep on a haunted couch."
"Tails…there is NO such thing as a haunted COUCH. A fridge maybe…"
Knuckles walked into Sonics apartment. "You know, that's not true." He said, rummaging through the fridge. That wasn't haunted mind you. "I've heard of weirder things being haunted."
"Yeah? Like what?"
"Like cheese that's what!" Knuckles said, drinking the milk from the carton.
"Haunted cheese! That's preposterous."
"It's true that's what it is!" Knuckles said, quickly jumping to Tails side. "You know, you never have any hot dogs…"
"Okay, let's go see this couch."
"What couch?" Amy asked, walking in and joining the fun.
"TAILS…says he has a haunted couch." Sonic said, pointing an accusing finger.
"No way is it haunted." Amy said, joining Sonics anti-ghost parade.
"Finally, someone with some sense." Sonic looked at Amy "Thank you Amy."
-----------Tails Apartment
Sonic and the gang looked at the couch. "You know, looking at it…" Sonic began. "I dunno, Tails is right, that thing has a freaky aura…"
"Yeah…" Amy agreed.
"Yeah! I told you!" Tails yelled in victory. "Okay, Sonic, I know this is weird, but I need to trade you couches."
"NOOOO"
"Come on!"
"AW...nahhh"
"Please! For my DAD, Sonic!"
"Uh…ah…okay. But you and Knuckles gotta move it."
"Yeah! Alright!"
"Yeah. Who got the short end of THAT deal?" Sonic stated monotone in his mind.
----------------------Later
Sonic sits on the freaky couch. The black cloth eerily wraps around his skin…he shifts uncomfortably. He shifts again, and again. "Oh, this is useless!"
Knuckles walked in. "Hey Sonic, how's the couch?"
"I just can't get comfortable."
"Here, let me try." Knuckles took a seat. He then stood back up. "That is no good!"
"Yeah!" Sonic agreed.
"…do you think we should try and exorcise it?" Knuckles said, taking cover behind Sonic.
--------------------At the diner
Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles sit at a diner.
"…and your butt just CLENCHES with fear." Sonic ended. Amy looked flabbergasted.
"And you can't get your original couch back?" Amy asked, stirring her coffee.
"I couldn't do that to Tails! Now that he has his dad over and stuff…" Sonic said. He took a large drink of his coffee.
"You should sell it to a museum." Knuckles stated, matter-of-factly.
"A museum wouldn't take a haunted couch! Especially since we don't know who it's haunted by!" Sonic said. "Hm…" he sighed, wishing there was a simple answer.
--------------Later
Sonic sits in his apartment, on a lawn chair by the couch. Knuckles busts in.
"Sonic! I did some sloothing!"
"You mean sleuthing."
"That's what I said! Sloothing! Sonic! Tails dad isn't staying with him!"
"What?"
"I mean it!" Knuckles said, exaggerating his anger by waiving his arms around. "And I think this was pre-vee-ously planned too!"
"You mean previously?" Sonic asked, now angry.
"That's what I said!"
----------------At the hotel
"That little rat!" Sonic said through gritted teeth. "This is a fancy hotel too! He must have had a reservation from the start! He just wanted me to take that freaky couch off his hands!"
"Hey…maybe we can get someone who works here to mess up his room!"
"That's brilliant!"
"Like, with some toilet paper!"
"That's even more brilliant!"
Sonic stood up from where he was hiding, which happened to be a couch in the middle of the main room. He walked over to a black hedgehog with red streaks wearing a uniform. Knuckles followed dopily.
"Hey…see that man over there?" Sonic asked, pointing at Tails dad. The worker nodded his head. "I need you to mess up his room, anyway you can." Sonic slipped him a hundred dollar bill. The hedgehog smiled.
"Consider it done, sir!"
-----------------Back at Sonics place
Sonic and Knuckles sit, watching Sonics T.V., sitting on lawn chair on either side of the couch. Amy walks in. "Hey Sonic I…" she noticed their sitting areas. "Oh it can't be THAT bad!"
Amy walked over and sat down on the couch. After adjusting herself for the fourth time, she took a seat on the floor in front of it.
"That's it!" Knuckles stood up and ran out."
"Wonder what's got him?" Amy asked, taking his chair.
"I dunno." Sonic said lazily. Then he grinned. "Hey Ames…"
"Yes?"
"…I'll bet you can't sleep on the couch for a whole night."
"…No way."
"Chicken?"
"No!"
"I double-dog dare ya!"
"You're on!" Amy yelled.
---------That night
Sonic walked out of his bedroom. "You doing okay Ames?"
"Yeah…" Amy was lying on the couch, hugging her Sonic plush and covered in her favorite blanket. "But…this is giving me the WAY creeps."
"Hey, if you back down, it's a double-dog back down." Sonic said. "Need a glass of warm milk or something?"
"Sure I--"
Knuckles burst through the door. "Sonic! I bought you a gift!"
"What is it? Knuckles, it's 11:00 at night!" Sonic said, pouring a glass of milk.
"Here!" Knuckles ran back out of the apartment and, using his super strength, brought in a whole sized couch and set it down behind the haunted one.
"Hey! Thanks Knux! A new couch!"
"Not just any new couch! This one is blessed by a priest!"
"Okay…wait. How is it blessed?" Amy said, sitting up. Sonic glared at her, and she laid back down. Sonic wasn't gonna let Amy back down on their dare.
"How IS it blessed?" Sonic asked.
"You know that haunted cheese I was talking about? Well, it got exercised on this VERY couch!" Knuckles said. "A priest ATE the haunted cheese on this couch! It will exercise the haunted couch!"
"You have GOT to be kid--"
"No, Sonic…I think it's working…" said Amy on the haunted couch.
-------------------Later
Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles are all sitting on the blessed couch behind the haunted one. Tails comes rushing in. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"We've been waiting for you!"
"What? Why?"
"Hey Knuckles, let's go to the hotel!" Sonic said, an evil grin plastered to his face.
----------------------At the hotel
Tails dad is at the main desk, complaining.
"…and there was toilet paper everywhere!"
"I'm sorry…who was the person who was supposed to be watching your room?" Tails dad pointed to the hedgehog from the other day. "Shadow! You're fired!" Shadow gasped.
"This is your fault!" Shadow said towards Sonic. "I'll get you for this!" Shadow pushed Sonic. Sonic pushed back. Shadow punched Sonic. Sonic laughed, he was starting to regain his 'fighting Eggman' energy back. Sonic tackled Shadow, and they wrestled around for a bit. Sonic jumped off him, and did a punch rush. Shadow was dazed for a bit, but retaliated by throwing Sonic into the couch. "This isn't over!" Shadow raced off.
Sonic looked down at the couch he landed on. Its legs were broken, and the backrest had fallen over. The manager of the hotel walked over to him. "You're going to replace that."
-------------------Later
Sonic and Amy looking through the rotating doors of the hotel. They had given up the haunted couch to the hotel. "Amy…don't look at it directly…"
Amy shuddered.
And that's the end! If you didn't think it was funny, tell me, and give me ways to improve. Also, if you want, you can suggest plot centers.
