"You forgot to close your curtains." Said Tails dismally to Sonic. Sonic just kind of froze there for a moment. Then, he walked past Tails, saying, "I'm gonna need the big paper." It was really more of a packet that Sonic came back with. Sonic started to recite the papers, then he came to a big word and decided to just let Tails read it. It said...
To the parties to whom it may concern,
You have been initiated into the Brotherly Association for Special Students. As I am sure you may be aware, you are undead. We will not discriminate on that basis. Here, we will accept you for who you are, and/or what you are. Free Punch and Pie.

Tails flipped through the rest of the (blank) pages. Then he took a closer look at who signed it. "Oh, come on. Thats just stupid. Yeah, Shadow! Spell your name in reverse order, that'll work!" Tails said, sarcastically. "Whoa, Shadow runs that place?" Cried Sonic in disbelief. "Oh. Wait. Bad thing. Amy got one of those letters after we bound and gagged her, and she hopped off to the place."
"Meh. Let her go."
"Tails, thats mean!"
Tails walked up to Sonic angrily, pointed to his arm, where there was still a small scar, and yelled "Do you see THIS! THIS is 'mean'!" He then stormed off outside, then ran back in a few seconds later screaming. He had forgotten it was daylight. Sonic walked out of the room, then came back with a lock. He placed the lock on the front door. "This house is officially on lockdown." He said, whileputting on a hazmat suit. "Um... Why?" Asked Tails. "I don't really know. They just said to lock the house down if you found out anything about the whole thing." Sonic replied. Through the course of the next hour, Tails tried in vain to get Sonic to tell him more. And so, feeling thoroughlydefeated, Tails went to his room and played the Game Buddy (blah blah blah) for about an hour, then he was tired so he had a good sleep.
-----------------
He awoke the next night at around midnightish, and was bored, so he decided to watch the TV some. He was channel-surfing, and came across the Farming Channel, where they were showing a farm near his house. It was a little boring, but then he noticed it--the cows. The cows... they seemed... he looked for a word to use to describe them, but couldn't seem to find one... Then it hit him. Like a boulder. He "needed" the cows. So, he got up, and, without a sound, stole the keys to the lock, and left for the farm and its bountiful cows.
-----------------
Cream was so excited! she was going to be on TV! All that time farming cows, and only cows, were about to pay off! She looked in a mirror and adjusted her handmade farm hat. "So Cheese, how do I look?" She asked the wee cyan Chao, who nodded his head in approval. "Come on, lets go check up on the cows before I have to show them the stables. I can't believe it. The Farming Channel!" And, with that, she was gone. Then she came back inside and grabbed a rifle that seemed too large for her small stature. "Forgot the boomstick."
-----------------
The Next morning, Sonic woke up and did a quick check of the house. Then he checked Tails' room, and did not find Tails, so, instead of looking over the house again, he yelled "TAILS! ARE YOU IN YOUR ROOM!" As soon as he was done yelling, Tails fell out of the closet. "What?" He asked sleepily.
"Nothing. Just wondering where you were."
"I've been right here all day."
Sonic eyed him suspiciously, then asked, "Then, why is there a hole in your arm?" Tails had forgotten about what happened last night. He had been... feeding on the cows when he heard a scream, and then he was shot in the arm. Naturally, he ran. "Um... I don't know...?" Tails replied, knowing that Sonic, being the moron that he is, wouldn't question his reply. And he didn't, although he was chastised and told to be more careful. After Sonic left, Tails decided to just go back to bed, or rather, closet, until night came.
-----------------
Tails awoke a few hours later, and smelled something. It was familiar, but it had sort of a coffee-like smell to it now. It seemed to get stronger as Tails went downstairs to investigate the source of the aroma. Tails walked down the hall, trying to find the source of the smell. It was in any of Sonic's six snack rooms. So, Tails continued down the long hall, until he came to the kitchen. The smell was coming from the kitchen. Tails, feeling reassured that the aroma was probably just burnt waffles, went inside to see why Sonic was eating waffles in the late afternoon. Tails opened the door, and stopped. Sonic was lying on the ground, in a fetal position, and in front of him lay a dead cow. It had a stake imbedded in it's side. Tails quickly realised that Sonic had been attacked by one of the cows he had bitten the previous night. Tails ran over to Sonic, and took a good look at him. Sonic seemed fine on his left side, but he was missing something on his right side that he may have wanted-- his arm, which explained to Tails that he had been smelling Sonic. Or rather, Sonic's blood. He didn't have any bite marks, which was good. But, he was bleeding very badly, which wasn't very good for wither of them. Tails, using every bit of willpower he had, picked Sonic up in his arms, carried him outside, and took him safely to the nearest hospital.
-----------------
Knuckles sat across the room from Miles, looking very angry. Angry isn't a good word to describe the way Knuckles felt. Sonic, hyperactive airhead that he was, deserved a lot of things, but this certainly wasn't on the list. Knuckles had already asked Miles the questions that this grim situation warranted. "Who? What? When? Where? Why?" Mostly the last one. Knuckles didn't believe a word of the garbage Miles was spouting for a second. He was supposed to believe that a cow ripped off Sonic's right arm? The story, as a whole, was plausible enough, except that Cream didn't recall any of her cows as being wounded on that night. Eventually, Knuckles was fed up with Miles' excuses, and called Cream in. "Cream, would you please tell Miles here about the cows on your farm?" And so Cream began to tell Miles about all of her cows, and said, "But one of Cheese's cows was acting funny this morning, like it had gas. So, I let it out, and it ran off towards around where Sonic lives." Knuckles was stunned. Miles just sat there. This whole thing just made him feel worse and worse. This wasn't like him. Normally, he would consider all the possible consequences of his actions. Knuckles thanked Cream for her time, and sent her off on her way. Then he turned his attention back to Miles. "Don't think this gets you off the hook."
"Of course not."
