The remaining Team Sonic members were still at Tails' workshop waiting for Sonic and Colton to return.
Amy was pacing back and forth in the workshop. Her nails were worn from biting on them.
"I hope those two are alright. I couldn't bear to be without Sonic"
Knuckles told her "Relax, those two are a pair of strapping young lads, they'll surely prevail"
"uhh, Knuckles, what did you just say?" asked Tails
"Oh, I checked out some book from the library. I think it was called 'ABCs for Barbarians'".
"You learned those words from that?" asked Amy with a puzzled expression
"What? No. I just liked that book"
Sonic walked through the front door to Tails' workshop.
"Sup guys, did you miss me?"
Amy squealed in excitement, "Sonic!"
Colton walked through the same door.
"Sup guys, did you miss me more?"
"Colton!" squealed Knuckles in excitement
Eggman walked through the door
"Hello Team, do I even need to ask if you missed me?"
Tails flew back in alarm, "Eggman!"
"That's right, me! I captured your obnoxious friends here and only let them free if they agreed to help me out"
Sonic sighed and explained "Eggman wants a girlfriend"
Amy quickly stated "Not it"
"Of course I'm not picking you, aren't you like 12 or something?"
"Have you tried using your imagination, it works for me every time" suggested Knuckles
"If I wanted to stick with my imagination then I would've left Sonic and Colton locked up. I want someone to listen to me after a hard day's work attacking you guys. Someone to be there to comfort me when I fail. Someone to celebrate my victories with me."
Sonic laughed, "What victories? We win every time"
"Oh, you'll see. I'll win one day, and I'll have someone there to rub it in your face too!"
Amy batted her eyes at Sonic, "awww! Isn't that romantic Sonic?"
"Yeah, whatever." said Sonic, brushing her off, "Anyway, Colton came up with the idea for us to set Eggman up on one of those eligible bachelor shows. I think the idea is pretty great. After all, who would know better than people not in a relationship!"
Eggman scratched his head and had a worried expression on his face
"Maybe I didn't think this thing through…."
Amy tried her best to persuade Eggman into thinking this was a good idea.
"Relax. You're a doctor, you have a steady job, you have an army of robots at your disposal, I'm sure we could find someone for you"
"When you put it that way, you're right! That's not even mentioning my perfectly groomed moustache"
"Don't let all this praise get to your head now." warned Colton. "The ladies, of which I'm an expert with, don't like a guy who's full of himself"
Amy turned to Colton and probed "Have you ever asked a lady that?"
"Don't need to. I know all there is to know just by experience"
Eggman ignored Colton and asked the team "Does anyone else think he's being full of himself right now?"
Tails attempted to switch the subject
"You know, now would be a good time to register Eggman for one of those bachelor things. I don't need to hear anymore about how good Colton is with the ladies, even if he is stunningly handsome...wait a second, he looks kind of like..."
"Oh look at the time." interrupted Colton. "Oh uh, I think I see the entry form outside, gotta go!"
Sonic whispered "Gotta go fast!" to himself
"It seems that the plan is decided, so let's get down to business!" exclaimed Eggman
Several hours later, the team was behind the curtains in an auditorium, packed with women. Eggman peered into the audience from behind a curtain, his brow furrowed with his anxiety.
"I-I-I don't know Sonic, there are a lot of people here." stammered Eggman "What if they don't like me? What if they laugh at me and call me names? Chrome dome, baldy, the possibilities are endless!"
"Don't forget Egghead!" added Sonic
"Or Dr. Egghead!" continued Knuckles
Eggman sarcastically replied "Thanks, that really helps a lot"
Sonic had a smug grin plastered on his face, "Just doing my job"
Amy walked in front of Eggman and grabbed him by the shoulders
"Just remember what I said, you can do this!"
Tails walked up to the pulpit on the stage and tapped the microphone.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen!" announced Tails "Wait, forget I said that. Hello bachelorettes, you are all in for quite a treat here!"
He thought to himself "I can't believe I have to say good things about this guy"
Speaking through the microphone again, Tails continued on by stating "This eligible bachelor stands at a wonderful 6' 1", lives in his own large house, is a certified doctor, and works with robots for a living! But that's not all folks, he is currently a wanted terrorist by all of the world's governments, including 4 nations that were recently created, built for the purpose of hunting him down. Known crimes include mass destruction, attempted murder, kidnapping, and tax fraud. This bad boy is also a grammy winning artist who loves pina coladas and getting caught in the rain! May I present to you, Dr. Ivo Robotnik!"
A very sweaty Eggman walked on stage, nervously smiling and waving at the audience.
"Eh, hello, I'm Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but you can call me Dr. Eggman, and I would like to say..."
An audience member shouted "Hey, that's the guy who destroyed Station Square"
"That's the guy who tries to capture Sonic all the time!" yelled out another
A few seconds later, Police Sirens could be heard in the distance, getting louder as they approached the building.
Tails turned to Eggman, "Well, Eggman, it was nice knowing ya"
As Tails, Sonic, and the rest all left, several police cars and helicopters surrounded the auditorium as the audience ran out the emergency exits. A SWAT team stormed the building once they exited.
"Oh great, just what I needed. Good thing I set my robots on guard outside"
Eggman pulled out a controller and pressed a button, but nothing happened.
"Blasted rechargeable batteries. I knew I should've gone for lithium ion, but oh no, I just had to save those extra 50 cents."
An officer shouted "Open Fire, shoot to kill!"
