Sorry it took kind of long for me to update. Our internet was down (AGAIN!) and we had to get it fixed. Once again I do not own any characters except my OCs. Sorry if the characters seem OOCish in this chapter.

Chapter 11:

The Talent Show

Cash and Tails were the first ones up. The house was full of nothing, but Sonic's snoring and an occasional shout of the word 'rutabaga' from Shadow. Cash was about to wake Shadow up when Tails stopped him.

"He'll curse at you and Knuckles'll stuff you in the toilet. That's what happened to me yesterday." Tails warned him.

"That's what happened to you. Maybe something different will happen to me." Cash said.

Cash went up to Shadow's bed and let out a soft meow and a purr. Shadow blinked and woke up. He saw Cash in front of him, got scared and pulled the covers over him.

"Ahhhhh!" Shadow yelled.

Cash began to laugh. Shadow poked his head out from under his covers and stared at the laughing cheetah.

"You woke me up?" Shadow asked. "I'm surprised it wasn't Tails."

Tails over in the corner smiled sheepishly. Shadow continued to stare at Cash who continued to laugh. Once Cash stopped Shadow got out of bed. Cash looked over at Tails.

"Maybe he doesn't like you because you wake him up all the time." Cash said.

Shadow walked over to Cash.

"About waking me up," he said. "This time I'll let it slip, but next time you do it, it won't turn out like this." Shadow said giving a small smile and walking out of his room.

Cash turned back to Tails and smiled and followed Shadow. Tails went to Shadow's bed and began jumping on it releasing his anger.

"Tails, get off my bed!" Shadow yelled from downstairs.

Tails muttered something and got off and went to his sanctuary.

Downstairs, everyone was eating breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. That's what everyone was eating but Sonic who was given a piece of bread.

"Why can I only eat bread?" Sonic asked.

"Because, that way you can't eat like a heathen." Espio said.

"You guys are never going to let me forget this are you?" Sonic said picking up his piece of bread and flopping it around.

"That's the point." Espio said yet again.

Sonic banged his head on the table, ate his bread and marched off to his sanctuary. Everyone at the table (Espio, Cash, Knuckles, Rouge, Shadow and Radar) all began to laugh. They didn't know why, they just felt like it.

All of a sudden the song 'We Can' (Team Sonic's theme from Sonic Heroes) began playing. Sonic was playing in his (now finished) sanctuary and had somehow managed to put it on all the speakers in the house. Knuckles, Shadow and Rouge began yelling and covering their ears. Cash began humming along and Radar just stared not knowing what to think of this music along with Espio.

"Ahhhh, the pain! Turn it off!" Knuckles yelled.

"I HATE THIS SONG! TURN IT OFF SONIC!" Shadow yelled.

"The horror! The pure NC-17 horror!" Rouge yelled.

Shadow ran down to Sonic's sanctuary to put an end to it. The music stopped all of a sudden and Knuckles and Rouge uncovered their ears and sighed. Shadow came back up with a look on his face like he had just killed someone.

"Okay Shadow, what did you do?" Rouge asked.

"Uh, nothing." Shadow said running off to his sanctuary.

Rouge and Knuckles looked at each other. Espio, Radar and Cash came up next to them.

"What happened?" Radar asked. "I zoned out after the music stopped."

"Shadow did something to Sonic… again." Rouge said.

"I'm gonna go see." Knuckles said beginning to walk off.

"Why do you care?" Espio asked.

Knuckles turned around. "I don't care; I just wanna see what he did."

He walked off and Cash followed him. Espio went to his room to hide from the light, Radar began listening to his I-pod and Rouge went to talk to Shadow.

Knuckles arrived in Sonic's sanctuary and was blinded by all the blue it contained. Knuckles looked behind him and saw Cash standing behind him.

"What're you doing here?" Knuckles asked.

"I wanted to see what happened to Sonic." Cash explained.

Knuckles looked around for Sonic. He gave up and sat down on Sonic's blue couch in front of his blue TV next to this strange blue lamp. It looked like it had two blinking eyes and a mouth.

"Knuckles." A voice said.

Knuckles' head snapped up and he looked around frantically. He looked at Cash who was staring at the blank TV.

"Did you say something?" Knuckles asked.

Cash stared at him and shook his head.

"Knuckles! Next to you." The voice said again.

Knuckles looked next to him and saw the lamp was now waving. Knuckles, now freaked, jumped up and ran to a corner along with Cash.

"Sonic has a mutant lamp in his sanctuary!" Cash yelled and ran out of the sanctuary.

The lamp then began hopping towards Knuckles. Knuckles backed against the world.

"What in the world is this? Attack of the Lamps?" Knuckles asked himself.

"Knuckles, it's me, Sonic." The lamp said.

Knuckles stared at the lamp. He could now make out it was Sonic. This must've been the work of Shadow. Knuckles chuckled.

"Shadow?" Knuckles asked.

The lamp gave a little nod. "A little help?"

Knuckles unfolded Sonic. Sonic then zoomed off to get revenge on Shadow. Knuckles followed Sonic after taking his wallet which was lying on the blue coffee table.

Sonic failed on folding Shadow into a lamp and gave up on that. He then went downstairs and watched TV thinking of a way to get revenge. Shadow, Espio, and the rest were watching TV as well. It was showing MTV videos which gave Sonic an idea.

"A TALENT SHOW!" Sonic yelled suddenly falling backwards out of his chair.

Radar flew out of his chair into the ceiling because he was startled by the yell. He came crashing down back into his chair and began shaking now afraid of ceilings.

"What'd you say?" Knuckles asked after taking his gaze off the vibrating panther.

"Let's have a talent show!" Sonic yelled. "I bet I can beat Shadow at that."

"Yeah right…" Shadow muttered.

"Okay, but one problem: A talent show needs judges and we don't have any. If we're all going to be in it how can some of us be judges.

"Let's just call three people who are probably wasting their lives right now." Sonic said.

"Like we are…" Shadow muttered again.

So, after 30 minutes of calling friends they had three judges: Vector, Cream and Charmy. Tails had built a stage in 5 seconds and put a table in front of it.

"Okay, then, let's start!" Sonic yelled.

Tails was the first one. He walked on stage and stood there. He then took out a Rubik's Cube and did it with his eyes shut in 8 seconds. Cream clapped like crazy.

Shadow came out next. He took out two AK-47s. Vector covered Charmy's eyes. Shadow pushed a button and 50 cardboard models of Sonic and popcorn came up which he obliterated in 1 minute.

Sonic came out next in a straw hat and a suit. Vector began laughing and then instantly stopped when Sonic glared at him. Sonic then began tap dancing with an annoying grin on his face. Shadow's laughter was heard from backstage. Suddenly, a banana peel hit Sonic in the face and he slugged off the stage.

Knuckles came out after and performed a martial arts routine. After that he juggled the seven Chaos Emeralds while muttering chants for the Master Emerald.

Radar was next. He pulled out an electric guitar and Charmy went crazy. He then performed a very famous guitar solo on it and walked off set without a word.

Cash always followed Radar so he was next. Because of his young age he couldn't do a guitar solo or martial arts. Instead he did puppy-dog eyes (or in his case: kitty-cat eyes). Cream and Charmy 'awwwed' at this.

Rouge was the last one. She came out with Knuckles and they did a scene from Romeo and Juliet. Charmy became bored and played his PSP which Vector threw in a nearby pit of lava. Knuckles and Rouge finished and about 100 random people fell from the sky applauding. They all walked out of the house.

"Okay, we've seen all the talents from the contestants and now it's time for you to choose who wins audience!" Charmy said.

"There is no audience you dope." Vector yelled.

"Then we chose ourselves!" Charmy yelled flipping in the air.

"That was the idea from the very beginning you dumb bee." Cream sighed.

The three judges muttered who they thought should win while Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Radar, Cash, Tails and Rouge all stood on the stage. Vector, Cream and Charmy nodded and turned towards the contestants. Vector handed Charmy an index card and he yelled who won.

"And the winner is… EVERYON BUT SONIC! CONGRADULATIONS!" Charmy yelled.

Everyone yelled as they were given and 10ft. tall trophy. Sonic was given a 1in. plastic toy trophy and began to yell at the judges.

"That's not fair, what's so cool about what hey did? I danced wasn't that cool?" Sonic asked.

"It was tap dancing faker. Everyone hates tap dancing." Shadow said whacking him in the head with his trophy.

"I like tap dancing, but you didn't do a good job of it." Vector said.

Sonic's mouth was hanging open. He then lunged on Vector, Charmy and Cream and began attacking. In 5 minutes the police were there. Sonic was held back and handcuffed and was shoved in the back of a police car.

"All I did was jump on them and I'm getting arrested?" Sonic asked.

"It could've turned into something worse." The policeman said driving off.

Everyone was happy Sonic was gone. They kicked Vector, Charmy and Cream out of their house and went to admire their trophies and play video games. After that it was time for bed. Shadow was a bit sad he couldn't prank Sonic since he was in jail, but he got over it and fell asleep all the same.

I still do not know how many chapters are gonna be after this one. If our internet keeps coming down there might just be one more… I have no idea.
