The Hiccup Cup Group Project

by PKMN37

This is an anthology story of some of our favorite characters given the hiccups through a mysterious, shape-shifting chalice. The Hiccup Cup can take the form of any cup, from plastic to its original iron form. Its origins are unknown but some believe that it was created by a hiccup-loving wizard of a faraway kingdom to give the women of the town hiccups at will.

Chapter 34: The Quill That Inflated Me (Servant Saga: Jenny) by PKMN37

Adapted from an rp.

While most of Singulto's servants were cursed, some weren't. For example, Hictank was an Eggman robot that was brought to life and has some of the hiccup god's abilities. Another is Jenny, a 7-year-old purple porcupine who met Singulto shortly after his visit with Sonic. This is her story.

It's fair to say that things were pretty much usual to the people living in Bygone Island. A bit strangely, even Dr. Eggman wasn't planning on any attacks against the village. Even thoug the town wasn't really bothered by anyone, or anything, there was someone, who was planning on causing some trouble.

A bit further away from the village, there was a little girl who was doing some workout in the jungle. She was not that happy to say the least. Especially that she was a tiny bit mad about the fact that she never got the chance to get Sonic, since there had to be someone, who stole the fun.

"At least Eggman isn't here to get in the way," she muttered to herself. He would be busy perfecting his new invention so this gave her a chance to finally get the blue hedgehog. How, though? Her booby traps never worked on him. She got an ancient artifact that shot out a capture beam but Sonic would move before it could work. What would get him to hold still? She stoked her quills and then realized she could use them. On him? No, but on his friends...She grinned and left the canyon, heading to Hedgehog Village. First, she grabbed some food from Meh Burger. Luckily, none of the heroes were around when she gathered some food here.

After she stocked up on burgers and fries, she headed over to Amy's house and knocked on the door. She heard hiccupping as it opened. "Hel-hicca!-lo? Jenny? Hiccup! What br-hic!-ings you he-hink!-ere?"

Jenny held one of the fast food bags in front of her and said, "Hi, Amy, I brought some food. Mind if I come in?" She batted her eyelashes.

Amy looked her over. Jenny, while mischievous, seemed relatively harmless. "I hic! guess. Hiccup! I got th-hiccup! hiccups."

"That's okay. I don't mind," said Jenny. She loved a good hiccup case though she never told anyone. She came in and sat down next to Amy. She figured it would be good to wait until the right time to strike.

While she had to wait, she got curious. "So how'd you get those?"

Amy giggled a bit and said, "Well, hic! Sticks ca-hic!-me over hic! earlier and hic! hiccup! gave me some hic! of hic! Singulto's hic! red po-hicca!-tion," she took a bit of her burger and continued, "Hicgulp! what she didn't hic! tell me i-hic! is that hic! she added hiccup! ghost pep-hic!-pers. I hiccuh! was hicc-hic!-upping fi-hic!-re. Hiccup! HIC!"

Jenny watched as Amy unintentionally inhaled her fries with the next hiccup and nodded, "I see. Do you have any more?"

Amy reached over and grabbed the big pitcher, offering, "Help hiccup! yourself."

Jenny filled a cup and drank it down. Soon the little girl found her mouth and throat burning and small bursts of flame past her lips. She gasped from the heat and soon began hiccupping as well, "Heek! Woah! Tha-heeka!-at's hot! HEEUCK!"

Amy hiccup-laughed and went to get Jenny some water. Now was her chance, she plucked a quill and went over to Amy while her back was turned. She pricked her before she could turn around. "Ow! Hiccup! What did hic! you..." Amy didn't finish her question as she noticed her belly was beginning to expand.

Jenny grinned a tiny bit as she watched the pink hedgehog girl swelling up like a balloon. Each time Amy hiccupped, she got bigger as if the air pulled in got trapped inside. "Yes! Heeka! Grow! Heeka! Mwa-Heeka!-haha-Heeka!-ha!" laughed Jenny. She could leave and target one of Sonic's other friends but she decided to stay and watch.

Over at Tails' hanger, he was working on his plane, when Zooey entered, hiccupping, "HIC! Hi, Tails. Hiccup!"

"Hey there Zooey. Have you drunk a potion again?" Tails asked as he was currently fixing some of the cables of the Tornado.

"Hiccup! Yeah," she giggled, "I hiccup! couldn't he-HUH!-lp it. It drew HICCA! me in. Hic! Let me-HEE! help you. Hiccup!"

Zooey grabbed some of the cables to help Tails when the door opened again. It was Sticks and she had the hiccups, too. "Hi, heekuh! guys."

"HICCUP! Potion? HIC!" asked Zooey.

"Yep. Heeka! I drank hiccup! a lot. HILK!" answered Sticks, as the last one made her stagger a bit.

"Jeez, girls, you're just really addicted to this stuff, huh?" Tails asked.

"Ye-heek!-ah," admitted Sticks.

"Guilt-hee!" said Zooey, then asked, "So what HICCA! brings yo-hoo! here?"

Sticks replied, "Well, I heek! was think-heek!-ing of go-hink! to the hic! movies with heeka! Tails. Maybe heeka! you could heeka! come with? HEEKUP!"

"Hiccup! Sure," agreed Zooey, who looked at Tails.

"Well, I'm not that sure, I still need to finish fixing up the tornado here, then I have to work on my new blaster arm that I recently started making a few days ago." Tails explained.

Zooey turned to Sticks and asked, "Maybe HICCUP! next ti-HICCA!-me?"

Sticks shrugged, "Heekup! Sure, HEEKA! mind if heeka! I sti-HIC! around?" Sticks sat on a nearby stool, her hiccups causing it to move a bit.

"Be careful with my tools there, Sticks. I don't want to lose a wrench from it again." Tails warned, as he heard the badger's actions.

Sticks grabbed one of the wrenches and tapped the side of her face. "Come heeka! on. Heekup! What are heek! the cha-hic!-nces that-HEEKUP!" A powerful hiccup caused her to swallow it. "Uh heek! oh..."

"Oh, come on!" Tails moaned as he wriggled himself out from his plane.

"Sorr-HEE!" apologized Sticks,. Zooey put her hand on Sticks's tummy. "It's hiccup! bouncing a-hiccah!-round in the-HIC!-re." Sticks smiled, sheepishly, "I can heeka! get you heek! a new one. HEEKUP!"

"Really? From where?" Tails asked as he walked to Sticks and Zooey.

"I've heek! got so-heek!-me extra heek! tools at m-hyie! place," said Sticks.

"I'm gue-hiccup!-ssing it's be-hic!-cause you-hoo!-'ve swallowed hiccup! them hic! before?" asked Zooey.

"HEEK! Yeah..." Sticks blushed a bit.

"Cmon Sticks, why do you have to swallow my wrenches every time you get close to them?" Tails said in a bit of disbelief.

"I'm heekup! sorry," she apologized, holding another wrench in her hand, "HEEK! Wrenches a-HEEK!-nd I have heek! a weird-HEEUCK!" She swallowed another one and they could hear the two wrenches knocking against each other. "...history? Heekup!"

Tails shook his head a bit as the badger now could feel the wrenches reacting to her hiccups. He kept his hand on her tummy as they bounced around. Sticks stayed on the stool with her mouth slightly open, the wrenches clanked around rhythmically, "HEEK! Clank! HEEK! Clanka! HEEK! Clanka! Clank! HEEKA! Clanka! HEEKUP! Clank!" Zooey grinned and quietly grabbed another wrench, feeding it to the badger.

"Uh...Zooey? Do you find this amusing?" Tails asked as he felt his tools bounce around inside the badger's stomach.

"Yep," Zooey nodded, grabbing three more wrenches, "Hic! Since we-hic!-'re not go-hic!-ing any-hic!-where, this hic! makes gre-hic!-at enter-hicca!-tainment. I hic! like the hicca! mix of hic! her hiccups hiccup! and the hic! wrenches." She fed the tools to Sticks.

"Well, it's weird if you ask me. I'm not sure if Sticks likes this or not." Tails said, as the badger's belly bulged out a bit after the amount of wrenches that she ate.

Sticks blushed and admitted, "Well, heekup! actually, I heekup! do. I li-heekup!-ike to swa-huck!-llow wren-heekup!-ches a-heekup!-nd some heekup! nuts and heekup! bolts. The heekup! feeling heekup! and sound heekup! is ver-heekup! gratif-heekup!-ying." The clanking became more continuous as Zooey fed Sticks.

"Say Sticks, have you seen Amy? I haven't heard from her in a while." Tails asked.

Sticks smacked the side of her head, "That's heekup! right. I heekup! forgot. Jenn-hee! went ov-her! to her heekup! house earli-ER! Last I heekup! checked thro-heekup!-ugh her win-heekup!-dow, Amy was shar-HINK! the ghost pe-hic!-pper po-hic!-tion I ga-hee!-ve her with heekup! Jenny." A loud cracking sound was heard outside. Sticks got up and the wrenches rattled around inside as she and the others went out the door.

"Mmmm...heekup!" moaned Jenny as she rubbed Amy's round hiccupping body, "So plump heekup! How are heekup! you feel-hink!, Amy?"

"Not HICCUP! bad, act-HIC!-ual-HIC!-ly," she admitted. "Now heeka! where heek! are-" Jenny didn't need to finish her sentence, as a faint sound of jingling metal could be heard. She turned around to see Sticks with a big lumpy belly. She was panting a bit, "Pant! Heek! Heh. Woo. Heekup! Hey, Am-hee!"

"Wren-HICCA!-ches?" Amy asked.

"Wre-heeka!-nches," Sticks confirmed.

Jenny smirked as Amy was really outgrowing her house. Her ballooning body was pressing against the walls and ceiling. Tails, Sticks, and Zooey could see cracks forming around the house. Jenny looked at Sticks and held the quill in her hand, "You-heek!-'re next."

Before Sticks could react, Jenny poked her with her quill. "Heeka!" Sticks' belly began to inflate.

"Zooey! Get on the ground!" Tails shouted as he ducked to the ground, waiting for the inevitable.

Zooey ducked just as Amy's house began to collapse. Sticks moved next to them, laying on her back. She closed her eyes as the debris fell around her and bounced off her ballooning belly. When the dust cleared, Tails and Zooey got up and dusted themselves off.

"Tha-hank!-s, Sticks. Hiccup!" said Zooey.

"No HEEKA! proble-HUH!-m." Sticks' hiccups had gotten a little louder as she got bigger.

Jenny looked in Tails' direction and said, "I-hee! can ch-heek!-ange them heek! back but heeka! Sonic must heekuh! surrend-her! to me. HEEKUP!"

"Why you, sneaky little..." Tails groaned.

"And heekup! for a lit-heek!-tle insu-HEEKUP!-rance," Jenny added, "I wo-heekup!-n't tell heekup! you ho-huh! I can cu-HEEK!-re them un-heekup!-til then. Heekup! So, do-HOO! you know heekup! where he heekup! is?"

"I won't tell you anything, you little brat. If you want to get him so bad, you have to get through me." Tails said as he steadied his arms for a fight here.

Jenny grinned. "If hiccup! you insi-hiccup!-st." She turned around and shot a quill from her head, which stuck itself on Tails' stomach. "You hiccup! better mo-hoo!-ve while yo-hoo! can."

"Ow! Uh oh..." Tails said, as he noticed what was sticking out of his body. He pulled it out but it was too late. He began hiccupping and growing in size. "Hic!...HICCUP!...hIC!" He had to get to his lab before he lost mobility like his friends, which was quickly getting difficult.

"Good hic! luck," said Jenny, as she kicked back and leaned against Sticks, listening to the wrenches bounce around in her stomach.

Zooey immediately rushed over to Tails and checked him to see if he was okay or not. "How hic! are you hiccup! feel-hic!-ing?" She asked.

"Some-hic!-what fine, hiccup! minus hic! the hicc-hic!-ups. But, I hic! don't re-hic!-ally under-hic!-stand it, hiccup! this Jen-hic!-ny girl hic! is only hiccup! supposed to-hoo! give infl-hic!-ation to hic! those who hiccup! get poked hic! by her hiccup! quills. Why hic! did it gi-hic!-ive hiccups hic! to me?" Tails asked in some confusion.

Zooey thought about that for a moment then it came to her, "May-HIC!-be she hiccup! made a de-hic!-eal with hic! Sing-hic!-ulto. He hic! probably ca-hic!-ast a spe-hic!-ell on her hiccup! quills."

"You HIC! mean hic! that ro-hiccup!-bot we hic! met a hiccup! few da-hay!-ys ago? HIC!" Tails asked.

Zooey nodded, "Tha-hic!-t's the o-hiccup!-ne." They arrived at the hangar and she helped him open the door. The hangar looked big enough but she wasn't sure how big Tails would get. "Ma-hay!-be I can hiccup! help? HIC!" She offered.

Tails' arms and legs began to merge into his sphere-like body. "Let's HIC! see HIC! if HIC! I HIC! can HIC! fit HIC! into HIC! the HIC! hangar, HIC! first. HIC! In HIC! the HIC! mean HIC! time, HIC! Zooey, HIC! can HIC! you HIC! roll HIC! Amy HIC! and HIC! Sticks HIC! after HIC! me HIC! as HIC! well?" Tails asked, trying his best to point towards the two girls, whose' cheeks swollen up so much that it pushed their lips together, making their hiccups muffled.

Jenny smirked as she listened to this conversation. "Let hiccup! me help hiccup! you with HIC! that." She gave Sticks a good kick and she began to roll toward Tails' hangar.

"HMK! HMK! HMK!" Sticks rolled, bouncing slightly from the hiccups, into the hangar and bumped into the Tornado. She was soon followed by Amy. Jenny walked in, made some popcorn and sat down on a nearby stool to watch the show.

"You HIC! think HIC! that HIC! this HIC! is HIC! funny, HICCUP! Jenny? HIC! You HIC! made HIC! bouncy HIC! blimps HIC! from HIC! the HIC! three HIC! of HIC! us!" Tails shouted in a bit of anger towards the troublemaker.

Jenny spun in the stool for a moment and took another bite of popcorn, hiccupping a few unpopped kernels. "Yes, hic! admitt-hiccup!-edly."

"Mew HMK! mon't HMK! met HMK! umay HMK! miff HMK! miff," Sticks managed to say.

"HMK! Meah!" agreed Amy. Jenny laughed and took a drink of orange juice.

"This HIC! is HIC! rather HIC! embarr-HIC!-assing HIC! on HIC! my HICCUP! end." Tails said, as he was glancing angrily at the girl.

Jenny took another drink and went to heat up another bag of popcorn. As it began to pop, she said to Zooey, "I hic! won't cure hiccup! your frie-hiccuh!-ends but hic! I'll help hic! with the hiccup! trapped air. HIC!" She took the popcorn and filled the bowl. "You hiccup! need some-hic!-thing to hiccup! squeeze hic! the air hiccuh! out."

"Why hiicuh! should HIC! I trust HIC! you?" asked Zooey.

"Bet-hic!-ter get heekuh! to work. HIC! Tails' he-HIGGAH!-ead will mer-HIC!-ge with hi-hic! his body hiccup! soon," said Jenny.

"When HIC! will HIC! we HIC! stop HIC! inflating HIC! here?" Tails asked.

"HEEK! That HIC! depends on heek! how many heek! quills I heek! hit you heek! with. At heek! this point, heek! you'll get heek! as big heek! as a heek! house," answered Jenny.

"Even HIC! if HIC! you HIC! inflated HIC! all HIC! three HIC! of HIC! us, HIC! this HIC! work-HIC!-shop HIC! should HIC! be HIC! enough HIC! to HIC! hold HIC! us HIC! if HIC! it HIC! is HIC! needed." Tails said, as his hands and feet began to sink into his sphere-like body.

Jenny looked around, noting Tails was correct. "HIC! Tell you hic! what, I'll HIC! give you hic! time to hiccup! see if hiccup! you can hic! deflate yourse-HIC!-lves but," Jenny stroked with her quills, "HIC! I can hiccup! cure you. HICCUP! You sure hiccup! you won't HIC! call Sonic?"

"Of HICCUP! course HICCUP! I'm HIC! sure, HICCUP! you HICCUP! dirty HIC! girl. HICCUP! As HICCUP! long HIC! as HICCUP! there HICCUP! is HICCUP! someone HICCUP! who HICCUP! can HICCUP! help HICCUP! me HICCUP! out HICCUP! here, HICCUP! I HICCUP! don't HICCUP! need HICCUP! him." Tails said, while he used his namesake to lean himself forward a bit.

"Fair hic! point," agreed Jenny, and she turned around and shot a quill at Zooey. "Ow! Hic!" said Zooey, as she pulled the quill out of her leg, which began to inflate, "Thanks, hiccup! Tails."

"Why HICCUP! do HICCUP! I HICCUP! open HICCUP! my HIC! big HICCUP! mouth? HICCUP!" Tails groaned, as Zooey started spilling out bubbles rapidly.

The bubbles floated around the hangar. Some of them combined to make bigger ones, one of them enveloping Zooey's head. Zooey couldn't help but smile as the hiccup bubbles left her mouth.

Jenny took one of the bubbles and ate it, hiccupping some of her own. "Like hilk! these? I hiccup! call that hic! one my HICCUP! Bubble Quill. HICCUP!" She played with her hiccup bubbles as she watched Zooey inflate.

Zooey was thinking about how she could use her current situation to her advantage. An idea came to her. The bubble around her head was getting bigger as more of her bubbles filled it. She closed her mouth and held it shut, feeling a large bubble in her tummy getting bigger. "HMK! HMK! HYMPK! HYMYMPK!" When she opened her mouth, a very large bubble escaped and merged with the one around her head. If she could get the bubble to completely envelop her, maybe she could use it to float out of the hangar to find help. She couldn't go looking for Sonic so she had to find someone else. After another attempt, the bubble became large enough to absorb her and she began to levitate. 'Thanks, Singulto,' she thought to herself. Jenny wasn't stupid. She knew what Zooey had in mind and, rather than pop the giant bubble with a quill, she'd let her go and see who she'd bring back.

"HIC! Zooey! HICCUP! Wait HIC! up!" Tails shouted as he used his namesake to roll after the yellow vixen.

Jenny got up as they left and went over to Amy. "Maht HIC! mar HIC! mu HIC! mlanning HIC! moo HICCA! moo?" She asked.

"Oh, hiceek! just a hiccup! little hic! fun," answered Jenny, with a grin. She grabbed some of her bubbles and floated to the top of Amy. Once there, she walked forward, which caused Amy to roll backwards, bumping into Tails' Tornado, then changing direction and bumping into his wall of tools. Meanwhile, Zooey was heading to Hedgehog Village with Tails not far behind. Her bubble landed in the middle of the square and she looked around.

"HIC! Pant! HIC! Pant! HIC! What HIC! are HIC! you HIC! looking HICCUP! for, HICCUP! Zooey?" Tails asked as he finally caught up to his friend.

"I'm try-hic!-ing to hic! see if I-HEE! can find hiccup! anyone hic! who can HIC! help us. HICCUP! Someone HIC! who would-hic!-n't be af-hicca!-fected by hiccup! Jenny's pow-HIC!-ers," she replied. Sonic was out of the question and Knuckles would most likely get himself stuck by a quill before getting a word in. Could Jenny's powers work against a robot? Probably not but, considering her powers were enhanced by Singulto's magic, she didn't know if that was possible. As she looked around, she spotted a spherical and cubed robot hovering nearby. She was about to call out but stopped. Should she really be asking for help from Eggman's goons? It's not like she had many options. She called out, "Orbot! Hic! Cubot! HICCUP!"

The two mentioned robots were currently in charge mode, so they didn't hear the vixen.

"Well, HIC! Jenny HIC! knows HIC! about HIC! this HIC! pretty HIC! well, HIC! so HIC! it HIC! is HIC! a HIC! tiny HIC! but HIC! risky. HIC! BesIdes, HIC! i'm HIC! not HIC! sure HIC! if HIC! they'd HIC! be HIC! willing HIC! to HIC! help HIC! us HIC! out." Tails said.

This was a good point. It was fifty-fifty that these two would be of any use. She remembered something and suggested, "You hiccup! told me hic! about a HIC! city of ro-hic!-bots a whi-hup!-le back. HICCA! There are hic! robot ver-hic!-sions of hiccup! you a-HIC!-nd the hicca! others, right? Hic! Maybe hic! they could HIC! help."

"HIC! Hmmm... HIC! Sounds HIC! like HIC! a HIC! plan. HIC! If HIC! you HIC! can HIC! get HIC! my HIC! robot HIC! version HIC! to HIC! help HIC! us HIC! out HIC! here, HICCUP! that HIC! would HIC! be HIC! perfect HIC! for HIC! us. HIC! But HIC! first, HIC! can HIC! you HIC! make HIC! some HIC! room HIC! for HIC! me HIC! inside HIC! that HIC! bubble? HIC! Using HIC! my HIC! tails to HIC! roll HIC! myself HIC! around HIC! like HIC! this HIC! tires HIC! me HIC! out HIC! big HIC! time, HIC! and HIC! you HIC! remember HIC! what HIC! will HIC! happen HIC! to HIC! my HIC! hiccups HIC! when HIC! I HIC! start HIC! panting HIC! heavily." Tails said, and gave a reminder to Zooey about how her hiccups reacted to the particular move that he mentioned.

She grinned and began panting hard, which led to faster hiccups and a continuous stream of bubbles, "PANT! PANT! HICCUP! PANT! PANT! HIC! HICCUP! HICCUP! PANT! PA-HUCK! PA-HICUCK! HICCUP! HICCUP! HICCUPHICCUPHICCUPHICCUP!"

The bubble grew, giving Tails enough room to enter. It began to rise high into the air and Tails used his namesake to propel them forward. Soon, they arrived at Roboken, where Cyborg Tails was fixing the city's entrance.

"There... that should be good enough. Security lines are green and electricity is back online. That should prevent anyone who is trying to make an ambush from entering the city." The cyborg fox muttered to himself, as he checked his tablet.

The bubble landed behind him. Zooey had trouble talking but she figured Tails' robot counterpart would be able to understand. "HICCUPHICCUPHICCUPHICCUPHICCUP! (HI, Cyborg Tails.)"

Cyborg Tails turned around and saw the hiccuping pair. "I'm sorry, who are you? And I see that you already met up with my fleshy counterpart. It has been a while since we last saw each other."

"Yeah, HIC! it HIC! surely HIC! has HIC! been. HIC! We HIC! got HIC! a HIC! lot HIC! of HIC! things HIC! to HIC! expl-HIC!-ain." Tails replied, as he looked down on his cyborg counterpart.

"Yeah, seems like you surely do. Judging by the fact that you two are basically bouncy balloons, something must've gone wrong with one of your inventions." Cyborg Tails noted, as he walked closer to the bubble.

"Well, HIC! not HIC! exactly, HIC! allow HIC! me HIC! and HIC! Zooey HICCUP! to HIC! explain HIC! the HIC! situation." Tails said, before turning his head to Zooey, as much as he could. "Mind HIC! if HIC! I HIC! take HIC! down HIC! some HIC! of HIC! that HIC! hiccup HIC! frequ-HIC! -ency? HIC! Your HIC! chest HIC! might HIC! not HIC! be HIC! able HIC! to HIC! stand HIC! such HIC! fast HIC! hiccups." He asked sheepishly.

She liked the speed but, admittedly, her chest was starting to hurt a little. She remembered a trick she tried with Amy the last time her hiccups got that bad and locked lips with Tails. Within moments, they slowed down enough for her to talk.

Around that time, Cyborg Amy arrived to see the bloated fox and vixen. "I bet this is an interesting story," she said.

"Well, HIC! a little HIC! porcupine HIC! girl HIC! named HIC! Jenny HIC! has HIC! taken HIC! our HIC! friends HIC! hostage."

"Not HIC! only HIC! that, HIC! she HIC! made HIC! hiccuping HICCUP! balloons HIC! out HIC! of HIC! all HIC! of HIC! us, HIC! as HIC! you HIC! can HIC! already HIC! tell." Tails added.

"Affirmative, I can already see that. Are you sure that you two can handle your state as you are now?" Cyborg Tails asked.

"Well, HIC! Jenny HIC! said HIC! she HIC! has HIC! the HIC! cure HIC! to HIC! our HIC! inflation HIC! but HIC! won't HIC! give HIC! it HIC! to HIC! us HIC! unless HIC! we HIC! call HIC! Sonic," explained Zooey but then it hit her, "Wait, HIC! is HIC! there HIC! another HIC! way?"

Cyborg Amy pulled out a remote device with an antenna on top. "Tails uses this to modify frequencies. Maybe it will work on you."

"So HIC! you HIC! say HIC! that HIC! we HIC! can HIC! tame HIC! the HIC! hiccups HIC! with HIC! these HIC! in HIC! a HIC! more HIC! easier HIC! way? HIC! I'm HIC! not HIC! sure HIC! if HIC! Zooey HIC! wants HIC! to HIC! do HIC! this HIC! or HIC! the HIC! 'Breathe HIC! and HIC! Kiss' HIC! method." Tails wondered on this sight.

"A HIC! device HIC! that HIC! Can HICCUP! control HIC! the HIC! speed HIC! of HIC! hiccups? HICCUH! Sounds HIC! good HIC! to HIC! me," Zooey agreed, but now there was another question. She turned to Cyborg Tails and asked, "What HIC! about HIC! the HIC! inflation?"

"Well, there is a machine that I have been working on for a while. Come with me." Cyborg Tails said, as he walked towards his workshop.

Zooey and Tails hovered in the bubble as they followed the cyborgs. When they arrived, Zooey noticed another remote device. It was round with a grip and trigger below it. A small dish was mounted in front and there was a red dial.

"HIC! Is HIC! that HICCUP! it, HICCUP! there?" she asked.

"Yes, it's called-" Cyborg Amy began but stopped herself, "I think the inventor should explain."

"This is the Deflatron. This was designed to force the air pressure out of any object that is filled with the same material. I was never able to test it on real subjects like you two, so i'm not 100% sure if that works in your case." Cyborg Tails explained.

"Well, HIC! we HIC! could HIC! test HIC! it HIC! out HIC! once HIC! we HIC! are HIC! done HIC! with HIC! Jenny. HIC! Knowing HIC! her, HIC! she HIC! might've HIC! smashed HIC! around HIC! some HIC! of HIC! my HIC! stuff HIC! with HIC! the HIC! Balloon HIC! girls HIC! at HIC! the HIC! back. HIC! Too HIC! bad HIC! I HIC! can't HIC! really HIC! do HIC! a HIC! replica HIC! of HIC! the HIC! Defla-HIC!-tron HIC! at HIC! a HIC! state HIC! like HIC! this. HIC! I HIC! would've HIC! joked HIC! to HIC! work HIC! on HIC! it HIC! myself." Tails said with a hiccup sigh.

As the two Tails worked out a plan, Zooey couldn't help but wonder if Jenny had other powers. She did make a deal with Singulto to get hiccup powers, which included his famous hiccup bubbles.

"Zooey. Zooey, are you okay?" asked Cyborg Amy.

"HIC! Hmmm? HIC! Oh, HIC! yes. HIC! So HIC! um, HIC! Cyborg HIC! Tails, HIC! would HIC! you HIC! mind HIC! if HIC! we HIC! kept HIC! the HIC! Hiccuptron?"

"Permission granted, but the little machine can only change the frequencies for a short amount of time, so use it wisely. And I suggest you to use the method that Tails mentioned if it is really needed." Cyborg Tails noted.

"That HIC! won't HIC! be HIC! a HIC! problem," Zooey assured, winking at Tails, "Now HIC! how HIC! close HIC! do HIC! we HIC! need HIC! to HIC! be HIC! to HIC! use HIC! this HIC! Defla-HIC! -tron?"

"At least six feet," answered Cyborg Amy, "If what you say is true, Cyborg Tails and I should be immune to her magic quills."

"Hopefully it is true, because the Deflatron is only able to force the air out of one person at a time." Cyborg Tails added.

Zooey sighed. This was a gamble but there wasn't any other option that she could see. "If HIC! at HIC! least HIC! one HIC! of HIC! you HIC! can HIC! stop HIC! Jenny, HIC! we HIC! can HIC! make HIC! this HIC! work. HIC! It's HIC! not HIC! like HIC! Jenny's HIC! gonna HIC! do HIC! it."

Cyborg Tails finished getting the Deflatron ready. "Notify the real Sonic about the case. We might need him later on," Cyborg Tails noted.

Cyborg Amy nodded and put the Hiccuptron in Zooey's pocket before heading to a hovercraft. How this could go was anyone's guess. Hopefully, Jenny wouldn't give them too much trouble.

"HIC! Jenny's HIC! at HIC! the HIC! hangar HIC! so HIC! she HIC! should HIC! be HIC! pretty HIC! easy HIC! to HIC! spot. HIC! So, HIC! are HIC! you HICCUP! taking HIC! a HIC! craft, HIC! too, HIC! or HIC! are HIC! you HIC! riding HIC! with HIC! us HIC! in HIC! our HIC! bubble? HIC!" she asked Cyborg Tails.

"Well, I would rather use the good old ground transportation. Besides, it seems like your bubble is getting a tiny bit too big by the looks of things." The cyborg fox noted, as he gathered up some of his tools.

He was right. The bubble was having trouble clearing the archway. "HIC! Could HIC! you HIC! use HIC! your HIC! vehicle HIC! to HIC! push HIC! us HIC! through?"

"I've got a much better idea. Brace yourselves!" Cyborg Tails said, as he backed away a bit, then jumped up and dived into the bubble, which in turn, pushed the bloated couple out from the hangar.

The two slowly floated down with the wind pushing the giant bubble forward until Zooey could see Bygone Island. With Tails' namesake, they floated downward until they landed by Tails' hangar.

"HIC! Well, HIC! this HIC! is HIC! it, HIC! Tails. HIC! Are HIC! you HIC! ready?" asked Zooey.

"I'm ready!" Tails said.

Tools were all over the floor, the Tornado had some dents and Amy had some oil on her. Otherwise, the girls were okay. Jenny was eating some jelly beans, some escaped her mouth with a few bubbles, when she spotted Zooey and Tails outside.

"So hiccup! who'd hiccup! you HICCA! bring?" It seemed her hiccups sped up a bit while the two were gone.

"HIC! As HIC! I HIC! expected HIC! from HIC! a HIC! dirty HIC! girl HIC! like HIC! you..." Tails groaned as he saw the mess made in the workshop.

Jenny blushed at the 'dirty girl' part. "You heeka! flatter heek! me," She cleared her throat, "but heekup! that heekup! doesn't heekup! change heekup! anything. Heekup! Did heekup! you heekup! bring heekup! Son-HEEK!-ic?"

"He'll HIC! be HIC! here HICCUP! soon HIC! as HIC! well HIC! as HIC! a HIC! couple HIC! of HICCA! friends," said Zooey.

Jenny grinned, "Goo-heekup!-ood." She rode a couple of bubbles to the top Sticks and laid on top comfortably as the badger shook with hiccups.

Speaking about Amy and sticks, their muffle hiccups got sped up a bit as well up until the point where they could only muffle letters.

"HMK! M-HMK!-i, HMK! M-HMK!-a-HMK!-i-HMK!-l-HMK!-s," Sticks greeted. "M-HMK!-a-HMK!-n-HMK!-y m-HMK!-o-HMK!-r-HMK!-e m-HMK!-e-HMK!-n-HMK!-c-HMK!-h-HMK!-e-HMK!-s?"

"S-HMK!-o-HMK!-n-HMK!-i-HMK!-c?" asked Amy.

"Sticks HIC! is HIC! asking HIC! about HIC! wrenches HIC! and HIC! Amy HIC! is HIC! asking HIC! when HIC! Sonic HIC! will HIC! be HIC! here," Jenny translated.

The bloated couple grinned a bit when Jenny asked them this question.

"Very HIC! soon," replied Zooey. She had to stall for a bit so she asked, "Is HIC! it HIC! comfy HIC! up HICCUP! there?"

Jenny knew what Zooey was doing but decided to play along. She stretched and rolled over on her belly before answering, "Oh, heek! yes. Heek! Your heek! friend heek! is heek! very heek! comfy. Heek! Very heek! soft. Heek! Much heek! better heek! than heek! the heek! cot heek! at heek! the heek! canyon." She yawned a bit, hiccupping a large bubble.

Soon they heard a vehicle approach and Cyborg Tails entered the hangar.

Jenny laughed as she looked down at the cyborg fox, while stealthily pulling out a quill. "You heek! must heek! be heek! one heek! of heek! the heek! friends heek! of heek! the heek! balloon heek! twins. Heek! HA! Heekup! I heek! ain't heek! scared heek! of heek! you, heek! tin heek! can." She eyed his blaster arm, carefully taking aim.

Zooey noticed Jenny's subtle movements. "Look HICCUP! Out!"

Cyborg Tails made a quick dash to the left side, before firing with his own blaster. "EXCEEDED CHARGE!" he shouted and a powerful beam ball flew towards Jenny, and hit her.

She fell off Sticks and landed on the Tornado. She got up and commanded the bubbles around her to shoot out like machine gun bullets. The rapid-fire bubbles flew at him, some of them smacking into his face before he moved for cover.

"HICCUP! HICCUP HICCUP!" she created three large bubbles filled with tiny ones and launched them at the cyber fox like bombs.

"HIC! When HIC! did HIC! she HIC! learn HIC! to HIC! use HIC! her HIC! bubbles HIC! to HIC! attack? HIC! It HIC! doesn't HIC! matter. HIC! Zooey, HIC! Use HIC! your HIC! rapid HIC! fire HIC! hiccups HIC! to HIC! make HIC! Jenny HIC! run HIC! out HIC! of HIC! the HIC! hangar! HIC! It's HIC! too HIC! danger-HUCK!-ous HIC! to HIC! fight HIC! inside HIC! of HIC! it!" Tails said, as he knew, he had to return fire here.

Zooey 'nodded' and began to swallow air. Soon, her hiccups increased in speed and she shot out a line of bubbles at Jenny like a machine gun. "HICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCAHICCA!"

Jenny leapt off the plane and dodged behind a collection of tools which were knocked away by Zooey's next bubble attack. Jenny created two big bubble bombs and launched them at Tails and Zooey who rolled but not before Zooey returned fire. Jenny dodged and attached a couple bubbles to her feet and skated through the air, hiccupping bubbles at her foes below.

"HICCUPHICCUPHICCUPHICCUP!" She aimed her bubbles beside Jenny, who exited the hangar and waited outside.

"HIC! Amy, HIC! Sticks, HIC! can HIC! you HIC! two HIC! use HIC! your HIC! bodies HIC! to HIC! roll HIC! around HIC! somehow? HIC!" Tails asked.

"Y-HIC!-E-HIC!-S," spelled Amy and she began to roll out of the garage and began to roll after Jenny.

Sticks rolled over to where some tools were, ate them then rolled out. The clanking tools inside gave her an idea. She gestured to Cyborg Tails and spelled, "P-HEEK!-R-HEEK!-E-HEEK!-S-HEEK!-S H-HEEK!-E-HEEK!-R-HEEK!-E." She used her eyes to point at her tummy.

"Affirmative." Cyborg Tails Replied, as he pressed the badger's stomach down.

Sticks began to shoot wrenches at Jenny, "HEEKHEEKHEEKHEEKHEEKHEEKHEEKHEEK!"

Jenny deflected the wrenches with the bubbles that enveloped her fists and feet. "Is heek! that heek! the heek! best heek! you heek! can heek! do? HEEKUP!" laughed Jenny, as she jumped up and bounced off of Amy.

Zooey took aim behind Jenny and fired, "HICHICHICHICHICHIC!"

Jenny noticed too late as she took the bubble blast and fell to the ground. She looked up to see Cyborg Tails standing over her.

"Heek! Well," sighed Jenny, "I heek! guess heek! this heek! is heek! it. Heek! And heek! I heek! didn't heek! even heek! get heek! to heek! see heek! Sonic."

Cyborg Tails took an aim at the little Troublemaker, and was ready to shoot.

"Guys!" Cyborg Amy called from nearby, "I found him! He'll be here in a-" The blue blur himself appeared. "-moment."

Jenny looked up to see Sonic standing above her. She smiled a bit. This wasn't how she expected to see him but it would do. "I hic! know hic! you hic! guys hic! have hic! a hic! device hic! to hic! deflate hic! yourselves hic! but hic! I'm hic! guessing hic! it hic! can hic! only hic! shrink hic! one hic! at hic! a hic! time, hic! right?"

"Yeah," acknowledged Cyborg Amy.

"Well, hic! I hic! can hic! help hic! you. HIC! Take hic! one hic! of hic! my hic! quills hic! and hic! stick hic! the hic! opposite hic! end hic! into hic! the hic! inflated hic! one. Hic! It hic! won't hic! stop hic! the hic! hiccups, hic! those hic! end hic! on hic! their hic! own, hic! but hic! it hic! will hic! deflate hic! you."

"Why HIC! should HIC! we HIC! trust HIC! you?" asked Zooey.

"Heek! Only heek! one heek! way heek! to heek! find heek! out," said Jenny.

"First, we need someone to test this device on. Zooey, Gobble up Tails and Amy. Sticks, you will be the one who will test this thing out" Sonic suggested, while being aware that Jenny might pull out a trick or two.

Zooey grinned at this. She always wanted to vore her friends. She opened her mouth and let her hiccups pull Tails in, then Amy was next. Since they were in her mouth, Zooey's bubbles left through her nose, making a slight squeak. "HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE!" Soon they were both inside, each shaking the other with hiccups.

"R-HEEK!-E-HEEK!-A-HEEK!-D-HEEK!-Y," spelled Sticks.

"Here we go," said Cyborg Amy and she turned a nob and pushed the button in the center. Sticks began to shrink as the pulse waves hit her.

Jenny could move now but decided it was best to stay on the ground for now and watched her bubbles float up to the sky.

Meanwhile, Zooey's stomach started to gurgle loudly due to the fact that her stomach was in an overfilled state. Her hiccups started to mix up with all kinds of occasional sound, like burps and ulps, as her face turned to greenish.

"HIC! HICCULP! HICURP! Oh, HICUURRP! I HURP! don't HURRP! feel HICBURP! so BUHHIC! good," she moaned. Her bubbles were a bit green as well.

"Here, I'll help," offered Cyborg Amy, as she rubbed Zooey's tummy. "Are you okay in there?" She asked Amy and Tails inside.

"I'm HIC! okay," said Amy, "HIC! but HIC! it HIC! feels HIC! a HIC! little HIC! weird HIC! in HIC! here."

"HIC! I'm HIC! fine HIC! too, HIC! with HIC! all HIC! things HIC! considered. HIC! Can HIC! you HIC! handle HIC! us HIC! like HIC! this, HIC! Zooey?" Tails asked.

Zooey swallowed looking at Cyborg Amy who was gently rubbing her side, then replied, "HIC! I URP! think HICURP! I ULP!can. BURP! HICURP! Just HIC! try HURP! not BUURP! to HICULP! move BURHIC! too HICUULLP! much."

"I'll HIC! try," said Amy.

Jenny sat up and watched as Zooey struggled. "Heek! They heekup! can't heek! stay heek! in heek! there heekup! forever."

Zooey turned her head towards the purple troublemaker, and decided to do a bit of a surprise on her. It seemed she had one of Jenny's quills. She spat it at her and it stuck into her arm.

"Ow! HEEK! Uh HIC! oh..." Jenny began to inflate at the same time that Sticks finished deflating.

"Heek! It's heek! nice heek! to heek! have heek! my heek! arms heek! and heek! legs heek! again," said Sticks. It seemed there were a couple wrenches left in her stomach as she heard rhythmic clanking inside.

Zooey decided to share the same feeling that she has with Jenny, so she waddled close to the hiccuping troublemaker. She took a bunch of food and tools nearby and fed her all that was there before backing up. She watched as Jenny's face turned green.

"HICCUH! Oo-HICCA!-oohh…HICCUH!" moaned Jenny.

Zooey laughed, despite herself, "Not HIC! so HIC! funny HIC! now, HIC! huh?"

She still had to fight her own stomach sickness here though as she and Jenny made some occasional burps and ulps.

"HIC!...HICULP!...BUURRP! HIC!...BURHILK!...ULP! HIC!...BELCH! HICCUP!"

"HEEKURP!...BELCHHUP!...HEEKORRRP!...HICHUP! ULP!...HEEK! HEEKULP HEEKURRP!"

Their green bubbles seemed to dance around each other. Cyborg Amy watched as a few bubbles floated her way and landed on her head.

"You girls are weird, you know that?" Sonic said as he tilted his head to a side in confusion.

Zooey and Jenny blushed, which mixed with the green color in their faces. "Yeah, HICURUP! we BURP! HIC! are," They agreed in unison. If Cyborg Amy could blush, she would.

It was a mixture of sickness and shyness but Zooey was unsure if she could ask Sonic. It was now or never. "BURP! Son-HURP!, could HICURP! you ULP! rub HEEKOHP! my HULP! tummy HICULP! for HURP! a BURP! little HEEK! BURP! while?"

"With pleasure. But what should we do with all of you now?" Sonic asked, as he walked over to Zooey, and began to rub her belly.

"I HIC! wouldn't HIC! mind HIC! staying HIC! like HIC! this HIC! for HIC! a HIC! while," said Amy, "I HIC! kinda HIC! like HIC! this HIC! big HIC! feeling."

Zooey, though still feeling sick, agreed, "It HICULP! is BURP! HIC! rather HURP! nice."

Jenny felt a little left out until Cyborg Amy and Sticks came over to rub her belly. "BELCH! HEEK! Thanks." She looked to the others and said, "Listen HEEKURP! guys, HEEKURP! I BURP! know HEEK! I've ULP! caused HEEKURP! a HURP! lot HEEKURP! of BELCH! trouble BURHIC! but HEEKURP! maybe HEEK! we URP! could BURHEEK! have HIC! a BURP! truce? HEEKURP!" She hiccup-burped a large bubble that bounced off Cyborg Tails' head.

"HIC! Hmm..." Taiks wondered on this from within the vixen, while kicking a little bit with his feet.

"I HIC! don't HIC! see HICCUP! why HIC! not," said Amy, moving her hands against the vixen's stomach walls.

Zooey agreed, "BURP! If HIC! they're HICCUP! okay ULP! with URP! it, HIC! so URRP! am HIC! I."

Cyborg Amy smiled and pulled the Hiccuptron out of Zooey's pocket and handed it to Sonic. "That controls the speed of hiccups. We haven't tested it yet but I leave it to you," she explained.

"I see. Zooey, Jenny, which one of you wants to test this thing out?" Sonic asked.

Both of them grinned. Despite feeling sick from being overstuffed, they both wanted to test it.

"Let's heek! flip a heeka! coin," offered Sticks, pulling one out of her pocket, "Heek! Heads heek! is heeka! Jenny. Heek! Tails heek! is heeka! Zooey." She flipped the coin and caught it, moving her other hand to reveal…"Zooey!" She called.

Jenny was disappointed but smiled, "Have URP! fun. HEEK!"

Sonic shot a pulse wave at Zooey, which also affected Amy and Tails inside. Soon, they were hiccupping like crazy. In Zooey's case, it was a mix of hiccups and burps.

"HICCUP! HICCUP! HIC! HIC! HIC! HICCA! HICCA! HICCUP! HICCUH!" went Tails.

"HUP! HUP! HICCUP! HUP! HICCUP! HICHUP! HICCUP! HICCUP!" went Amy.

"ULP! HEEKURP! BURP! HIC! ULP! HICCUP! HEEKAHEEKA! BURHIC! HICULP! HICCUPURP! HICCAHICCA!" went Zooey.

The little fox boy used his hiccups to continue to communicate with the others.

"HICCUP HICCA! HICCUPHIC! HICHIC! (Oh jeez, that isn't something that I expected,)" He said, while he and Amy were thrown around inside the vixen's stomach.

"HUPHUP! HICCUP! HICHUP! HICCAHICCUP! (Neither did I,)" agreed Amy.

"HEEKAHEEKA! URP! HIC! ULP! HURP! HEEKOHP! BURP!" (Yeah. Wait, I can understand you two?)" asked Zooey.

"HICCUP! HUP! HICCUP! HUPHUP! HUPUH! HICCUP! (It's Hiccup Speech,)" replied Amy.

"HICCUP! BURP! HICURP! HIC! UULP! BURP! HICCUP! (This is cool! How are you in there?)" asked Zooey.

"HICCUP! HIC! HUP! HICCUPHICCUP! HUPHUH! (Doing alright. It's like a bouncy house in here,)" said Amy.

"HIC! HICCUP! HIC! HIC! HICCA! (Feels good that I can actually "talk" in some way.)" Tails noted.

Sticks climbed up Jenny and bounced up and down on her as she hiccupped like a trampoline. She stopped and began to walk backwards, making Jenny roll toward Zooey. She bumped into her, causing a ripple effect, which made Amy and Tails bounce around faster inside.

"HICCUP! HICCIC! HEEKUH! HICCA! HICCUP! (Woah! I could do this all day!)" exclaimed Amy.

"HICCUH! HICCUP! HIC! HIC! HICCUP! HICCUP! HICCUH! (Good for you Amy. I'm still trying to process the effect of the Hiccuptron here. And to be honest, it is hard to do so, when I am bouncing around inside one if my friend's stomach.)" Tails noted, while Zooey felt that her ulps, burps and hiccups started mixing up even more.

"HEEKULP! HICCULP! HELK! HICULP! HULP! HURP! HURP! (Well, it can speed up and slow down your hiccups, though it's only temporary,)" explained Zooey.

She didn't know how long the effect would last and didn't want it to end yet but perhaps she could slow them down so Tails could concentrate. She could ask Sonic to turn the dial to slow them down or…she looked at Jenny and waddled over, locking lips with her. After a few seconds, she pulled away.

Jenny blushed a bit. "HEEK! Wow. HEEKA!"

"Does HIULP! that HIULP! help? HUURP!" Zooey asked Tails.

Although this method only slowed down her occasional sounds, as Tails and Amy were still hiccuping like crazy and it seemed kissing Jenny had increased her hiccups' speed as well.

"HICCA! HICCUP! HICCUP! HICCY! HICCUP! HICCUP! (Zooey, the breathe and kiss method only works on one or two people at the time, so basically, only you were able to calm your hiccups down.)" Tails noted again.

"HICCY! BURP! HICCUP! HICCUP! UULLP! HICCUH! HICCUH! BELCH! (Yeah, that makes sense,)" said Zooey. She turned to Sonic and asked, "HICCUP! HICCUH! BURRR-UUP! HIC! ULP! HICCUP! HICCUH! (You wouldn't happen to have any chili dogs, would you? I'm kinda hungry.)"

"HEEKUH! HEEEKUP! HICCEEK! HICCUH! (Me, too,)" Jenny chimed in.

"Hmmm... good thing that you asked, I actually have some in my pocket." Sonic said as he pulled out a few.

Zooey's and Jenny's mouth's watered as they gazed at the food. Jenny used a few of her bubbles to lift the chili dogs out of his hands and into each girls' mouth. When the chili dogs entered her stomach, one found its way to Amy, who swallowed it and Tails got hold of another before eating his.

"HICCY! BURP! HEEUP! HEEKUH! HIC! UURP! (Mmmm…that was so good,)" said Zooey.

"HICCUP! HICCUP! HICCUH! HICCUP! (Agreed,)" said Amy.

"HICCUP! HICCUH! HICCUH! HICCUP! HICCEE! (Hmmm...Tasty. Thank you, Sonic.)" Tails thanked.

"No problem, little buddy." Sonic said.

As Jenny licked her lips, she got an idea. Could they float in water? One way to find out. "HEEKA! HEEKIK! HEEKUP! HICCUP! HEEKA! (Hey, Sonic, you're familiar with log-rolling, right? Could you get on top and roll us across the ocean to Eggman's base and back?"

"HICCUH! HICCUP! UULLP! HICCUP! HICCY! BURP! (What? Why?") asked Zooey before she stopped and imagined herself bouncing along a trail. "HICCUH! HICCUH! BELCH! HEEK! (Actually, that sounds fun.)"

"Uhm... why?" Sonic asked.

"HICCUP! HICCY! HICCUH! HICCUP! HICCUH! HICCUP! (Hmmm... not sure myself, but mentioning the ocean got me wondering about something. Lets get along with the girls' plan here.)" Tails suggested.

"Okay then Tails." Sonic agreed eventually. He hopped on top of Jenny and began to run backwards, rolling her down the path. Sticks, Cyborg Tails and Cyborg Amy joined Sticks and rolled her after Sonic.

They rolled across town at high speeds and landed in the water. As they circled Eggman's base, Zooey got an idea, "HICCUP! HICCY! HICCY! HICCY! HICCUH! HICCUP! (I'm gonna try something. Keep running.)"

"What heek! do heeka! you heek! plan heekup! to-" Sticks began to ask before she noticed Zooey was beginning to sink.

"Are you drinking the sea water? Please don't," said Cyborg Amy, as the bloated vixen sank lower. Soon, they were completely submerged.

They reached the bottom of the seabed and slowly continued rolling across, wobbly bubbles escaping their mouths as they hiccupped. Once they reached shore, the girls and Cyborg Tails began to dry themselves off and Zooey was swaying back and forth like a water balloon with each hiccup.

"That was kinda fun," Cyber Amy said, as she put her ear to Zooey's belly then asked, "How're you two doing in there?"

"HIGULB! HIGULB! HIGULB! HIG! HIG! (I feel like a goldfish but otherwise I'm okay,)" said Amy, as she floated around.

"HIGLUB! HIG! HIGULB! HIGLUB! HIGLUB! (Somewhat fine. My chest started to hurt a bit, but i think i can handle it.)" Tails spoke up.

"HICCUP! HIC! BURRRP! HICUURP! HICCUP! HIC! ULP! (There was just something about the salty water that I had to try.)" said Zooey.

Cyborg Amy pressed against Zooey's waterbed body. "Regardless, we need to get the water out if we're to get you back to normal size. I don't think the Deflatron is designed to reduce water inflation."

"Correct, it isn't designed to force water pressure out of someone's body." Cyborg tails nodded, while the two girls felt that their hiccups, burps and ulps started to mix up even more.

"HICURP! HICULP! HULP! HURP! HURRP! (I think the sea water is making me gassier,)" said Zooey.

"HEEKURP! HEEKULP! HEEKUURRP! HURP! HULP! HUUURRRP! (Same here. I, admittedly, drank some sea water, too. Nowhere near as much as you, though,)" said Jenny, as she felt the water slosh around.

Cyborg Amy pressed her hands into Zooey and got an idea. "Should we try to squeeze it out?"

"HIGLUBB! HIBLUB! HIGG! HIGGUB! HIG! HIG! (It's worth a shot. Have you got any ideas about how could you do that?)" Tails asked.

"Simple. I'll go on one side with Cyborg Tails and Sticks and Sonic go on the other. We'll begin to push simultaneously, building up pressure which should force the water out. Ready?"

"Re-heek!-ady!" said Sticks.

"HURP! HULP! (Okay!)" confirmed Zooey.

"HIG! HIGGULB! HUBB! HIG! HIG! HIBLUB! (Lets do it!)" Tails said as the two cyborgs and the badger made their way to their respective sides.

The four friends began to push with all their might on each side. Zooey's body was incredibly flexible, much like a water balloon. She began to bend and her hiccups made parts of her body cover her friends' heads for brief moments.

"HULP! HIC! HICCUP! HICCUH! HICCUP! (I feel the pressure but it's not enough,)" said Zooey.

"Sonic, can you add more pressure with your speed?" suggested Cyborg Amy.

"With Pleasure." Sonic nodded as began to pick up the speed.

Zooey started to feel that her hiccups, ulps and burps are pretty much mixing together into one sound, as she even tried out something with it. She tried to speak through her new mixed up sound which mixed up her words too, resulting in a strange communication towards the others.

"HICULURP! HULURP! HEEURPULP! BURHUHULP! (Undercan stand me you?)" asked Zooey.

"What?" asked Cyborg Amy.

"HEEKURP! HEEKUP! BURHIC! HURRP! (I think she asked if we can understand her,)" translated Jenny.

"HIGGULB! HIG! HIGBLUB! HIGGULB! (I could barely understand,)" said Amy.

"HIGGULB! HIGBULB! HIG! HIG! HIGGULB! HIGGULB! HIG!HIGULB! HIBULB! (Oh boy... that doesn't look too good on Zooey's end. Her Hiccups, ulps, burps and words started to mix up so much that it is creating some kind of a new sound, which might be a bit more difficult to put in pattern. Zooey, do you think that you can use your hiccups to form words when we got the sea water out of your stomach?)" Tails asked, while the others squeezed the vixen tighter and tighter.

Zooey knew she had to make sure she could put her pattern in the correct order to make sure her words didn't get mixed up orderwise, so she tried to make out a longer sentence. "HEEURPULP! HICULURP! HULURP! BURHUHULP! HUBURULP! HICURPULP! (Try, I can. Tighter, I get but almost out, the water is. How does that sound?)"

"Okay, I understood you, that time," said Cyborg Amy, "How's it going over on your end, guys?"

"Al-HEEK!-most…HEEKUH! there…" strained Sticks, as she pushed as hard as she could.

Zooey could feel the water getting ready to pour out and opened her mouth wide. With one final effort, the water began to shoot out of Zooey like a firehose.

"HIGULB! HIG! HIGGBULB! HIGGUB! (Hang on, Tails!)" called Amy as she and Tails got spun around by the vortex of water inside Zooey's stomach.

The sea water sprayed out with great force, demolishing Tails' hangar and sending the Tornado flying into Sonic's hut. Tails and Amy flew out with the torrent of water. Zooey blushed, feeling bad about the damage. She decided to practice what Tails asked by using hiccup talk to apologize. "HYI'm…hahrry…huhbout…hic!...heeyour…HUHangHER."

"HICCUP! HIC! HIC! HICCUUH! HICCUP! HICCUP! HIC! HICCUP! (It's fine... it will take months to rebuild it, but first, i need to get back to normal size soon. I can't really work on anything when I'm still really bloated.)" Tails said in a bit of a moaning manner.

"Fair enough." Cyborg Amy looked between Tails and Amy and asked, "So Tails wants to go back to normal. Amy, what about you?"

Amy hesitated before replying, "HIC! HIC! HICCUP! HICCY! HICCUP! HICCUH! HIC! (Well, I suppose. This is honestly the most fun I've had all week but I do have a book club I need to schedule.)" She seemed hesitant but asked, "HIC! HIC! HICCUP! HIC! (Will I still have hiccups?)"

"Considering Sticks still has 'em, yes," replied Cyborg Amy.

"HICCUP! (Good.)"

"HI'd hike hyu hay hig hor ha highle honger," said Zooey. She was getting the hang of this hiccup talk.

"HEEK! HEEKA! HICCUP! HICEEK! HEEK! (I know I said it was a temporary truce but, even after this is over, could we still…hang out?)" asked Jenny.

"HICCUP! HIC! HICCA! HICCA! HICCUP! HICCY! (Well, considering that you didn't try any tricks, Jenny, I don't see why not,)" Tails agreed.

"Su-HEEKA!-re," agreed Sticks.

"HICCUH! HEEKA! HICCUP! HICCUP! (You can stay at my place for a while,)" offered Amy.

"Helhum hahord," said Zooey.

Jenny smiled. "HEEKA! HIC! HEEIC! HEEKA! HICEEK! HICCEEK! (Thanks, guys. Cyborg Amy, could you take the back of the quill and poke Amy?)"

"Sure," Cyborg Amy agreed and she plucked a quill, turned it around and went over to Amy. "Ready, Sonic?"

"When was I not ready for these? Let's do this." Sonic replied.

Cyborg Amy poked Amy with the backend of the quill. With each hiccup, she shrank down. "Hiccuh! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hic! Hic! Hiccuuh! Hiccup!" She let out a big belch when she reached her normal size, which caused her to stumble a little. "BEEELLLCCHH! HICCUP! Hic!"

Sonic aimed the Deflatron and shot the pulse waves at Tails, who also shrunk with each hiccup. "HIC! HICCUP! HICCUH! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!"

"Hic! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hic! Hic! (Ahhhh... back to normal size. That is my style.)" He said, once the deflation got finished.

"So," Cyborg Amy asked Jenny and Zooey, "Are you ready?"

The girls hesitated but smiled. "Heah, het's hoo hiss."

"HEEKA! HEEK! HIC! HEEKUH! (Yeah, I can always do this again, later.)"

The process was repeated and after they returned to normal, Jenny ran over to Sonic and hugged him. She let go, blushing, and asked, "Heek! Heeka! Hiccup! Hic! (Mind if I hang out at your house, tonight?)"

"Uhm... if Amy doesn't mind it, I'm always open for a guest." Sonic replied.

Amy smiled and belched again. "BELCH!" She patted her chest before answering him with Hiccup Talk, "Hure. Hic! Hust hay hout hof hubble, Hennee?"

Jenny smiled and responded, "Hon't hurry. Hile hake hood hare hov him." She put an arm around him.

"How hute," said Zooey.

Cyborg Amy laughed a bit, "You girls have gotten pretty good at that."

"Hic! Hic! Hiccup! Hiccup! Hic! Hiccup! HIC! (Yeah. I can pretty much agree with it. Mind if you all help me out repairing my workshop sometime soon? I got a lot to clean up here.)" Tails asked.

"Hure," agreed Amy, as she began to pick up some of the debris.

"Let's HEEKA! go," said Sticks.

"Cyborg Tails and I will join you," offered Cyborg Amy, as she took Cyborg Tails' hand and began to pick up the scattered tools.

The 7 friends then spent the rest of the day working on rebuilding Tails's workshop, after the initial mess that happened. And this was a chance for Jenny to turn over to a new leaf, and help the heroes this time around, rather than causing trouble for them. And who knew what life had in store for her?
