-1Chapter 1: Old Acquaintances

Today was a normal day…like any other. Padamy was currently waiting for the Queen's spaceship to arrive (Padamy was now senator). When it finally showed up, the queen stepped out, "Hello," she said. Padamy was about to say "hi", but the queen's ship suddenly blew up. Padamy stared at the burning wreckage like a deer in headlights for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders and said, "I guess she finally decided to resign…"

After finding the queen's body and checking the wallet for cash, Padamy started to head back to Council Hall with her bodyguard. She turned and faced her bodyguard, and said, "Call Sonic and Shadow, we need to talk!" Unfortunately, her bodyguard was Jar Jar Stinks, and so he forgot her request five minutes after being told. He was going to ask her what she had asked of him, but didn't want to sound stupid. She already knew he was, so it really didn't matter.

The next day, Jar Jar ran out of tea bags for his coffee (it was part of a secret family recipe), so he decided to call Sonic and Shadow since they were the only people he knew who always carried around spare tea bags. When told the call was for tea bags, the two came over as fast as they could (considering they could run faster than the speed of sound, it didn't take long). "Hello-sa boys! You-sa got a de tea-sa bags?"

Sonic and Shadow held up their tea bags and their Jedi badges (they liked showing off their badges since it meant they were above the law and were considered The Man). After Jar Jar made his tea, Sonic and Shadow wanted to play Jedi's and Sith's (cops and robbers), but Jar Jar was busy being bodyguard. Sonic and Shadow decided to stay over night… mainly because their night light burned out, and wanted to sleep using Jar Jar's.

That night, a probe-type thing came up to Padamy's window, and opened a hatch that let two caterpillars out that weren't harmful at all, but scared Padamy to death. Sonic and Shadow came in and killed them, then went after the probe-type thing. They got into a hover car, and chased it. The probe happened to have a pilot in it, and the pilot…had a gun. It was like one of those really cool car chases, only 50,000 feet above sea level!

After about a five-minute chase, both vehicles ran out of gas, and the people inside had to continue on foot. Sonic and Shadow had the advantage here since they were really fast. The pilot of the probe-type thing was able to hide in a cantina before getting caught. Inside Shadow started looking while Sonic sat down. The guy next to Sonic had a chocolate-colored hat on to cover his bad haircut, and very goofy clothes on.

He leaned over to Sonic and whispered, "Pssst. Buddy…want to buy a Wonka bar?" Sonic looked at him for a second then started using mind tricks, "You do not want to sell me a Wonka bar," Sonic said. "I do not want to sell you a Wonka bar," the man echoed. Sonic talked again, "You want to go home and rethink your love for chocolate." The man once again replied, "I want to go home and rethink my love for chocolate!" The man left, and then someone else sat down. This other person…had a gun.

Sonic quickly took out his light saber and sliced the gun in two. Now the man (who actually was in fact a woman) couldn't use it. Sonic grabbed her, and Shadow followed as they went outside to have a little talk. "Why were you trying to kill Padamy?" Sonic asked. The woman replied, "It was my job." Sonic asked another question, "Who gave you this job?" The woman hesitated, then said, "A bounty hunter clown by the name of-"

The woman was cut off by being shot with some tranquilizer darts that had smiley faces on them. The darts were shot by a clown on a jet pack, who flew away as soon as they noticed him. A note was attached to one of the darts that read: "Property of Super Duper Cloners Inc." Sonic took the darts and put them in his pocket. "Looks like we need to do some investigating!" he said. Shadow smiled and they walked back to Padamy's home.
