"Hello everybody! I know it's been a while..." Kaoru stopped and tilted her head as she heard a choked sob come out of no where. She shook her head. All she could hear was a rhythmic tapping that sounded distant... And more like it was in the back of her mind... Almost controlling her... She shook her head again and smiled broadly. "As I was trying to say, I know it's been a while since we've done an actual Sonic Doll so I've decided to bring them back!"

Kaoru ran over to a large box and pulled out a Sonic Doll that looked like an annoyed teenage girl. Its arms were crossed and his foot was extended in such a way that made it look like it was caught mid-tap. His eyes looked mid-roll and his mouth was open slightly as if wanting to say something.

"Are you waiting for something? Do you like a certain fanfiction but the author of said fanfiction takes way too long to update?" Kaoru had to stop again after hearing another loud sob. She frowned at the ceiling for a few minutes before shrugging and continuing with her sales pitch. "Well, now we have the thing that's just for you!

"Introducing the Sonic: I'm Waiting! Doll! It's time for the people who are in control of the things you love and want to continue to love to get off their lazy bums and actually do something for once! They act all apologetic and come up with excuses such as," the hare cleared her throat and continued talking in a high, almost shrill voice, "'But I have midterms coming up!,' 'I'm in college now! I've become very busy,' 'I need a scholarship and need to work hard.' 'But work has taken over my life!' 'But I'm in the hospital!' These excuses are tired and we will not stand for this anymore! We want results!"

She turned the doll's back towards the camera and opened up a panel. "This toy does one thing and one thing only: it gets the results we crave! Controlling this doll is very simple, to turn it on all you have to do is type in the 5 digit activation code which will be available to you in the instruction manual."

As she typed in the last number and pressed enter the Sonic doll finished rolling his eyes and, in a voice that was so annoying it could go against a baby crying in a movie theater, said "Iiiiii'm waaaaaaaaaaitiiiiiiing." The doll tapped its foot and continued to repeat the same phrase over again.

"All you have to do is put this doll directly in front of the person you want it to torture... I mean... The person you want to encourage to continue their work and the Sonic will lock onto the person like a newly hatched baby duck to its mama and follow the person around until they sit down and get some work done. Of course, it would be no fun if the doll just stopped as soon as the person started working, because then they would lose their will to work and just be satisfied that the doll stopped bothering them, right? So for the doll to be turned off the person who started the doll has to type in the 1000 digit deactivation code.

"To prevent your idols from turning off the doll themselves, each doll has a unique activation and deactivation code and during the first entering of the activation code the keypad will read the person's fingerprints and make sure no one else can turn off the doll."


Somewhere far away cameramen followed a teenage boy up to the 4th floor of a dorm and watched as the boy started banging on the door.

A couple seconds later a very stressed-looking college girl opened the door. "Can I help you?" she asked, wondering who let a boy onto the girls floor. "Wait... What's with all the cameras?" She laughed slightly as she took in the people around you. "You realize your friends look like they could be a part of the Sonic universe, right?"

"Oh, they are," the boy said absently, waving his hand at the subject. "You're Kaoru, right?"

The girl looked shocked for a moment, but regained her composure. "I am, but I'm a little busy at the..."

"Yeah, yeah, I bet you are," the boy said, rolling his eyes. "To be specific, you're KaoruTheRandomBookworm from fanfiction dot com. Am I right?"

Kaoru closed the door in front of her a bit to protect herself. "You're a stalker? How is that even possible, none of my information is on fanfiction. I haven't even updated since I started here."

"Right, yeah. Uh huh, I have my ways. Anyway, I bought you a present."

"You did? From where?"

"Kaoru's toyland."

Kaoru paled noticeably. "Those toys aren't real."

"Not real in this universe, maybe, but they are very real in the universe you have created, and I was able to travel there and get a few things."

"I can't imagine why you would buy me any of the toys I've written about."

"Oh, that's because you haven't written about this toy yet."

"Oh, so now you're claiming to be a time traveler, are you?"

"Time moves differently there. You may not have created this toy yet here, but you have there... Or rather, the hare created it." The boy waved to someone behind him and had them bring a box over to Kaoru. Unwrapping it, he handed the Sonic Doll to Kaoru.

"I don't even think I have a Sonic Doll in my list of..."

"Oh, you do... You've just forgotten about it."

"I'm sorry?"

"Anyway," handing the box back to his friend, the boy took the Sonic doll back from Kaoru and set it on the ground in front of her. "You're going to hate me for this, but it has to be done. You are very behind in updating and you have to catch up."

"Well, for like the whole first month I was here the wifi didn't work and then..."

The boy stopped listening to what she was saying and typed in the five digit activation code. Just before pressing enter he said, "I'm sorry, but this is for your own good."


"I'm sure this toy is going to be a big hit for my viewers," Kaoru smiled happily. "This toy is going to cost 400 Genuine Fake Watches. And as always we are not responsible for Pulling-Out-Your-Hair syndrome, Forgetting-This-Toy-Exists-And-Therefore-Driving-Your-Idol-Insane syndrome, or any homicidal rampages that occur from the existence of this toy! Thanks for watching and come back soon!"


A/N

Big thanks to Binary Hedgehog for giving me this idea ages ago. And I really hope you guys enjoyed what I did with this chapter. In the beginning, the 4th wall is not sound proof and you can hear my sobs of guilt through it, and in the end, it gets broken down completely. I hope you don't mind.

I want everyone to know I'm still accepting ideas for this, though not many. I am preparing a few non-episodes of Kaoru's Toyland and will like to mix it with real episodes.

Yes, you will be seeing Kaoru in a courtroom and being sued.

No, this story is not ending because I'm losing the drive, this story is ending because I believe it has gone on long enough, and that it's beginning to feel a bit played out.

I'll go into more detail about that in the next chapter.

Thanks guys! DFTBA
