The two spiny rodents stared at the bot before them. No one moved, no one spoke. Awkward silence rang thick, none of them knowing what to make of this or what to do or say. After several minutes passed, Sonic and Knuckles decided it best to go to Sonic's room, eyeing Nanny-Bot the whole time as if she would somehow attack them for making the slightest wrong movement.

As soon as the door was closed, Sonic sighed as if he had been holding his breath that entire time. Knuckles sat on the bed as gingerly as he could, the sting in his bum still fresh from the wicked stick. "Geez, you weren't kidding. He was serious…"

"I told you, dude. I don't give up easy, so you know something's up if I'm taking my time getting out of this." Knuckles rolled his eyes, hating being proven wrong by his rival.

"So, what do we do about the Jetson's reject outside?" Knuckles asked.

"Honestly, I have no clue. I dunno how sensitive the doc made her to "wrongdoings" so for all we know if we take a toe out of line we could be punished…" Sonic shivered at the last part. Neither of them would possibly be able to take another spanking in their condition.

"Now that I think of it, you think Eggman has any cream for this?" The echidna pondered, shifting slightly on the mattress. Even though it was nice and soft, the burning in Knuckles' rear never faded. Eggman took his punishments seriously it seemed…

"Hmm…I'd think so, but I dunno where he'd keep it. Probably his room? A bathroom? …His lab…?"

Knuckles nodded. Those all seemed like viable options, though both of them knew if they were caught it would not prove well for them at all.

"You should go get it."

"W-what!? Why me!?" Sonic rose a brow. "I don't have my speed, you know!"

"Yeah, but you're still a bit faster than me, plus your spanking wasn't as fresh as mine, so you could probably take one for the team."

"Wha-du-NO! I'm not risking my ass so yours can be healed!"

"That's only if you're caught."

"Dude. Giant robot who is hell-bent on beating our asses at the slightest provocation. I'd get caught in a MILLISECOND."

"And I wouldn't? Both our asses smart, and I'm sure you want some as well. I promise whether you're caught or not, we'll at least have the cream, so we can heal up."

Sonic groaned. There was no arguing with him, was there? It was true; they wanted some soothing from the hurt in their butts, and if they got some it wouldn't matter too much if they were caught.

"…Fine. But if I get caught you better save some for me or I'll beat your ass myself."

"Deal."

Sonic opened the door to his room quietly, peeking around to see where Nanny-Bot was. Not seeing her anywhere, he tip-toed out, Knuckles following behind from a distance and being on the lookout for the bot. So far all was empty, even as the two got to Eggman's room.

For a mad genius, Eggman's room was normal. A large round bed sat against the middle of the wall near the door, neatly made and a dresser with a mirror right across from it. A workbench littered with metal, tools and oil cans sat in a far corner, and the door to the master bathroom was in the other corner, right across from the doorway into the room. The closet was next to the bed, the door closed.

From what they saw, the cream didn't seem to be there, so Knuckles nudged Sonic in to search more and to search the bathroom, the echidna waiting outside and keeping an eye out for Nanny-Bot. Sonic rolled his eyes, and quietly snuck through the room, gently searching through it all he could. Under the bed, in dresser drawers, on the workbench, nothing resembling healing cream was there. He then checked the bathroom and opened the cabinets to look through.

"Geez…that's a lot of moustache gel." Sonic whispered, nudging around the various bottles and containers, and finally in the medicine cabinet he found it. Sighing in relief, the blue blur grabbed it, and quickly made his way to Knuckles, the two racing back to Sonic's room.

"Got it!" Sonic said finally when they were safe in the room. Helping themselves, the two spurted the cream into their gloved hands and rubbed it all over their bottoms, hissing and moaning in the sweet and cool relief it brought. Soon enough the pain they had been feeling dissipated to nothing, and the two smiled victoriously.

Until Nanny-Bot rolled in.
