Chapter 29: Europe I
7:39 pm in Europe (7:39 am in the USA).
"I lost my patience a few hours ago. Are we there yet," said Cream.
"Almost," said Tails.
"You said that 3 hours ago."
"Well, I'm sure of it this time."
"So much for keeping your patience," said Tikal, whispering to Knuckles.
This makes Knuckles laughs, and Tikal blushes at his happiness.
"Amy, tell me about Italy," said Sonic.
"Italy has only been a country for 153 years. Around e3000 of change is thrown in the Trevi Fountain by tourists daily. It's then collected and donated to charity. This country is home to 3 active volcanoes: Etna, Stromboli, and Vesuvius. Vatican City, in Rome, is the smallest country in the world."
"I heard the 1st thermometer was made there in 1612 by Santoro," said Tails.
"I heard the pizza was invented there. If Italy never invented that dish, pizza restaurants wouldn't have come to our world; today," said Sonic.
"We're going to Rome. Our first stop is Trevi Fountain," said Tails.
"The Trevi Fountain is one of the oldest water sources of Rome. It uses a lot of water, and it'll be a crime to steal the coins in the fountain," said Amy.
Then the plane turns into a jeep when it landed.
When they made it to the foundation, they were so amazed by the beauty of it.
"Before we search, let's take a group selfie," said Amy, taking out the camera.
When the Team took the selfie, Tails said, "my calculations state the battery is in the fountain."
"Dude. Didn't you hear, Amy? It's illegal. We can't go in," said Sonic.
"Not us. But he will."
Tails pointed to Cheese. Cheese then flies into the fountain to fetch the battery. While the Team keeps an eye on Cheese, Zeena is right behind Sonic.
She grabbed Sonic and said, "finally. After days of waiting. I can finally meet."
"Ahh! Wait a sec. You're not Rouge," said Sonic.
"Hey. Get your hands off of him. You're not part of the Deadly Six? are you," said Amy freeing Sonic.
"You may have him; first. But he will be mine; after I take you down, pinkie."
"Say that again."
"You heard me, pinkie."
Amy gets so angry that she grabbed Zeena and threw into the fountain.
"See, guys. This why I never mess around with her," said Sonic.
When Cheese came out of the fountain with a 2 ft battery on a 2 ft plug, Zeena's head came out of the water and said, "I worked a long time to be pretty for him. And now, I'll wipe your cuteness; off your face."
"Sorry. But we have to leave," said Cream.
When the Team got into the jeep and leaves, the police came and saw Zeena in the fountain.
"Freeze! You're under arrest, missy," said one of the police officers.
7:59 pm in Rome, Italy (USA time 7:59 am).
"Great. First, fangirls. Then Rouge the Bat. And now, this crazy girl," said Sonic, annoyed.
"Her name is Zeena. She's the only female member of the Deadly Six," said Tails.
"Thanks for throwing her into the fountain."
"No problem," said Amy.
"Where's our next battery," said Cream.
"The Roman Colosseum," said Tails.
"It says in my guidebook. Colosseum was built as a monument of victory for the Roman people, not for the Emperor. It's built-in 80 AD. Now, it's 1,938 years old," said Amy.
"Well. Here we are. The battery has got to be in there," said Tails, parking the jeep.
When they see the Colosseum, Tikal said, "wow! This place looks very old."
"But it's so amazing. Let's get in," said Tails, going through the entrance.
When the team made it inside, Amy quickly took pictures.
"Hey, guys. The battery is on the battlefield," said Cream, going to the battlefield with Cheese and Tails.
It's a 4tf battery on a 4 ft plug in the middle of the battlefield. When Tails disable it, Zeena comes out from underground.
"Good thing, I've escaped," said Zeena, getting out of the ground.
"Zeena! Knuckles, you got hand dryer," said Amy.
"Yes," said Knuckles, getting the dryer from his backpack.
Amy takes it and throws it at Zeena. When it hits Zeena, she gets knocked out; clean off.
"Nice throw, girlfriend," said Tikal.
"I give that a million," said Sonic.
"Let's find the last battery before she wakes up," said Knuckles, going to the exit.
2 hours and 7 minutes, it's 10:06 pm in Pisa, Italy (USA time 10:06 am).
"The Leaning Tower of Pisa…. It took 199 years to build it. Its construction began in 1173 and end in 1284. It's medieval architecture, in Romanesque style. The tower is built as a freestanding bell tower for the cathedral in Pisa," said Amy, reading the guidebook; out loud.
"We're here. Let's go," said Tails.
When he notices the rest of his team fell asleep, he said, "it's only 10:06 pm. I have no choice."
Tails take out a horn and use it to wake his team up.
Everyone woke up when he blows it, and Sonic said, "five more minutes, Tails."
"We got a battery to get."
When everyone went into the tower, they started to climb the steps.
"I'm so sleepy," said Cream.
"Come on, Tails. Can we do it in the morning," said Tikal.
"We need to get it, now."
When they finally reached the top, they see a 4tf battery on a 4 ft plug on a bell. While Tails disable it, Zeena appears from the darkness and grabs Sonic. He puts him with her in a romantic pose.
"Kiss me, you fool," said Zeena, about to kiss him.
"No way! I rather kiss a 12-year girl! Somebody help me," said Sonic, putting his hand on his face.
"I'll save you," said Amy, hits Zeena with her hammer.
Then Amy literally kicks Zeena out of the tower through the window.
"That takes care of her," said Knuckles.
"Can we get a hotel? I'm tired," said Cream.
10:07 pm in Pisa, Italy (USA time 10:07 am). The teams are already asleep in their room.
10 am in Pisa, Italy (USA time 10 pm). Our heroes wait for Tikal to come out of the gift shop. Tikal comes out wearing a Venice fancy mask.
"You like it," said Tikal, taking it off.
She notices Tails faints from the sight of the mask.
"Forgot he's scared of being surprised," said Knuckles.
"Anyway, our next stop is Greece. It'll take us 2 hours and 6 minutes to get there," said Tails, getting up.
"Let's hits the skies before Zeena comes," said Sonic, going to the plane.
