The game had officially started. The football team Sonic and Knuckles were rooting for was about to score a touchdown and make a comeback. Sonic and Knuckles were both on their feet screaming their heads off.

"Go, go, go, go! Let's go, you idiot, go!"

"Whoo! Come on, you can make it! Run!"

The doorbell rang. Immediately, Sonic sat down and said to Knuckles, "You get it, you're standing."

Knuckles continued to cheer. "Booyah!" Knuckles grabbed a couch cushion and threw it on the floor. "Touchdown! Now THAT's what I'm talking 'bout. I don't have to get the door, Sonic."

"Huh? What? What do you mean-"

Vector, Espio, and Charmy entered. "Ooh food!" Vector said. Vector and Charmy started devouring the food on the table and floor.

"Oh, hey guys. You just missed the touchdown." Knuckles said. Knuckles joined the feasting.

Vector replied, "Aw, really? Darn. If it wasn't for Espio here," Vector pushed Espio, "we would have arrived here sooner." Vector grabbed an opened bag of chips and dumped it down the hatch.

"Wha… hey! How do you all get in here?" Sonic asked.

Knuckles answered, "They *smack* came in *slurp* through the open *burp* door. *licks lips* I broke it down earlier. Didn't you hear?"

"Oh for the love of…" Sonic sighed and shook his head. When he opened his eyes he saw that half of the food was already gone. "Hey!" Sonic grabbed the throw on the back of the couch and started hitting the trio with it. "Stop eating all the food, you vultures! That's gonna be the third time I went for refills!"

Vector licked his lips. "Charmy, go get the turkey and more soda."

"Okay!" Charmy flew out of the room.

Sonic cried out after him. "No! You leave that turkey alone! You can have everything else but the turkey!"

"Okay!" Charmy answered.

Sonic sighed. "I guess I'll go fix the door…" On his way to the hallway Sonic ran into Espio. "Hey, Espio…"

Espio opened one eye. "Yes…?"

Taking his anger and frustration out on Espio, Sonic screamed, "Why didn't you tell them to come tomorrow like normal people!"

Espio replied nonchalantly, "I could not convince them otherwise. When I said, 'No.' they ignored me. Yes… I remember it like it was yesterday, err this morning. I believe it was like this…"

"Espio-no flashbacks."

"Shut up. I believe it was like this…" Sonic moaned to himself. Espio continued without comment.

"This morning after eating breakfast, I entered the detective room to find Vector throwing my shrunkens at wall and Charmy tracing circles in the dust on the floor ready to fall over from boredom. I was about to scold Vector for the millionth time about touching my toys when Vector suddenly exclaimed, 'I know! Let's go bug Sonic!'

Charmy frowned. 'But we're going over to his house tomorrow, Vector!'

'I know that Charmy, shut up. Who do you take me for? Who? A rock? Let's go bug Sonic anyway!"

Charmy laughed. 'Okay!'

I made a sound of protest, but Vector got up and shoved me out of the doorway. Charmy stuck his tongue out at me on his way past. Acting with my mad ninja skillz I dashed with lighting speed and blocked the door with my body. I stared up at Vector with my death stare as Vector gave me the evil eye. I knew I had met a worthy opponent. I stared up at him and said, "…No."

Vector continued to stare at me for a moment. Then he smiled. He pushed me aside… (for the second time. The second time! And it wasn't even nine in the morning yet! And people think I'm the… Oh never mind.) …and Vector walked out the door calling, 'Let's go Charmy. If Espio doesn't want to come then so be it.'

'Yeah, yeah, yeah! He's a party pooper!' Charmy zipped after him.

I picked myself up from my devastating and almost life-breaking fall. Never the one to forget my cool, I brushed the dust off of my arm and examined my surroundings, just like all the famous James Bond people do after a fall. I was left with no choice-no choice!- but to follow them. And here I am."

Sonic stared at Espio with half closed eyes and said with tone that clearly showed that he was not amused, "That's… all you said. No."

"Hai."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"You stinking little i-!" Sonic stopped himself just in time from letting his emotions get control. "Gah!"

"What?" Espio asked. "I can take it. I'm a ninja. Ninja power." Sonic pushed Espio aside. "How dare you push me like that! Answer my question. Am I an idiot? Idiotic person? Imba-"

Sonic was so mad he couldn't put into words. Stomping down the hallway, Sonic wondered what disaster he would have to survive through next. The door lay on the floor bent in half. No amount of screws and bolts or luck was going to fix it. Sonic exhaled slowly and looked up, way up into his happy place. It was the only place Sonic could find respite in now. He let all of his anger out in another slow exhale. A brilliant idea occurred to him. Sonic dashed into Tails' workshop. Tails was working on a project of his and didn't even look up when Sonic entered. Sonic grabbed a gray roll of something that was on the table. "Hey, Tails, can I borrow this?"

"Uh huh."

"Thanks." With that Sonic ran back to the broken door and fixed it. Just when Sonic smiled in satisfaction at the thought of being the second genius in the household, a loud crash resounded. Remembering that Knuckles, Vector, and Charmy were scarfing down on all the food Sonic bolted into the kitchen.

Vector and Charmy were sitting at the table with all the Thanksgiving food on the table in a sloppy mess. They ate with their fingers and were making a complete mess of everything. Food was on the floor, the walls, and the cabinets. Sonic felt like vomiting.

After succeeding in keeping his food down, Sonic yelled, "What in the world do you guys think you're doing?!"

Vector tried talking, but failed because no one could understand the language he was speaking in. "Iaihve rought ee hig bout won frangivehing."

Charmy chimed, "You said we can eat everything but the turkey. So we are. Eating everything but the turkey." He grinned as though he was about to go on his first roller coaster ever.

Sonic grabbed handfuls of food on the table and threw it behind him in a desperate search for the turkey. "Where's the turkey?"

Vector pointed behind him. "It's over there on the floor."

Sonic cried out in horror. He grabbed the filthy, germy, disgusting turkey off of the floor with two fingers. After examining it, Sonic whimpered. With a reluctant toss, Sonic threw it in the trash can. "Where's Knuckles?" Sonic asked almost afraid of the answer.

"He had to pee." Vector said.

"Hey, Sonic!" Charmy cried out in excitement. "Look what I found!"

...

Amy and Cream walked down the sidewalk heading toward Sonic's house all smiles carrying baskets of ingredients. Cheese flew behind Cream. Amy and Cream chatted about the one thing girls talk about the most-guys. Or that is, as one should say, Amy was talking about her love for Sonic and Cream was forced to listen.

Amy clasped her hands together. "I can't believe it! I can't believe it! Sonic invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner! Ohh!"

"But Amy," Cream frowned. "Doesn't Sonic invite everyone over for Thanksgiving every year?"

"That's irrelevant. I just know that this will be the year Sonic asks me out! He already asked us to help make Thanksgiving dinner."

"Amy…he asks us every year!"

"We're going to go over to over there, make him the biggest, bestest dinner evah and there'll be no way he won't ask me out!"

Cream sighed. "You say that every year," she muttered.

Cheese agreed. "Chao, chao."

"And then after our marriage we'll… Oh look we're here! Geez that was fast. Let's go Cream!"

"If you say so..."

Amy ran to the door. "I just hope he's expecting us." Cream rolled her eyes. Amy knocked on the door and waited patiently for about two seconds. Then she knocked on the door again this time harder.

Cream walked up beside her. "Why is the door bent?"

"I don't know, Cream." Amy placed her basket on the ground. She turned around, annoyed that she had to wait. Then a thought dawned on her. "Oh no… I hope nothing happened to him! Sonic!" Amy started to pound on the door from fear. "Sonic! Are you in there? Tails? Open up!" Amy tried the door knob.

A deep voice rumbled, "I'm coming. I'm coming." After a pause and more muttering, Knuckles opened the door and it came off in his hands. He eyed it with a great indifference and chucked it behind him with a shrug, smashing something behind him. Knuckles yawned and asked, "What are you two doin' here?"

Cream gasped horrified by the mess that lay before her. Amy was more concerned with Knuckles. "What do you mean what am I doing here? What's going on? Where's Sonic? And why are you here? Thanksgiving is tomorrow you retar-"

Knuckles shrugged again. "I meant what I asked. I really have no clue. In the kitchen. And I'm here because I want to be. And I know that, you moron. Now I repeat, what are you-" Amy shoved Knuckles aside causing him to fall down on the door with his head landing on the metal doorknob. Cream followed Amy making her way past Knuckles. "Hey!" Knuckles cried. "You JERK! Get back here RIGHT NOW!"

"Shut up, Knuckles. No one asked you." Amy entered the living room. Food littered the table, couch, and floor. The TV was making weird screaming noises and there was ice cream spattered on the wall. Amy was appalled. "What the…"

Deadpan, Cream said, "This didn't happen last year."

Knuckles walked in nonchalantly all anger apparently gone. "What cha so horrified 'bout? Just food." Knuckles grabbed some hairy mashed potatoes off the wall and proceeded to eat it.

Sonic shouted over in the kitchen, "Just forget it! All of you out of my kitchen, now! Espio, I don't care if you think you didn't do anything, carry Vector out into the family room. Now! What are you waiting for?! MOVE IT!" Espio began dragging a passed out Vector into the living room. Amy's jaw about hit the floor. What in the world was going on?

Charmy appeared in the door way facing Sonic with a pleading look on his face. "I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! You aren't bleeding that much…"

"Oh, yes I am you little b…" Sonic paused. "Yes I am! I'm bleeding all over on the floor!"

Charmy gave Sonic a puppy eye face. "Can I help clean it up?"

"GET OUT!" Sonic roared.

Charmy turned around with a wicked grin on his face and flew past everyone in the living room. He disappeared somewhere upstairs. Amy and Cream took the opportunity to burst into the kitchen to find out what was going on. Sonic had a paper towel and pressed it up against his upper leg, wincing. Blood ran down Sonic's leg and a pool of blood puddled around his feet.

Amy's hands covered her mouth. "Ohmigosh, Sonic! What happened?"

Sonic gasped from pain. He asked weakly, "Can… can you help me to a chair?" After Amy and Cream helped Sonic settle, Sonic explained, "That stupid little freak monster stabbed me with a knife. Stabbed me! What kind of six year old stabs people?!" Sonic shook his head. He looked up into Amy's face. "What… what are you doing here? Oh no, don't tell me that Knuckles invited you over… or the Chaotix…"

That was the last straw for Amy. "What do you mean what am I doing here? You invited me over the help cook Thanksgiving dinner! Just like you always do!"

Exasperated, Sonic said, "Amy! No, I didn't! Tails and I do just fine cooking and buying stuff. Everyone that comes is supposed to bring a dish anyway! What really happens is that you invite yourself over every year! And besides if-"

Cream interrupted talking both to herself and Sonic and Amy. "And this happened last year, too! And then Amy says 'No, I didn't,' and Sonic says, 'Yes, you did!' And then you two argue for the next two hours until Amy leaves dragging me behind, yelling at me the entire way even though I didn't do anything! And then on Thanksgiving you two politely glare and insult each other throughout dinner and baseball afterwards and I try to make amends because I can't stand the two of you at all and then I get yelled at more! I'm sick of it!"

Sonic and Amy stared Cream. Her rant left her panting and eyes huge. After a pause, Amy said, "Shut up, Cream. No one asked you." The look Cream gave Amy, made Amy question her sanity.

Sonic cleared his throat. "Well, while you're doing that and all, I'm bleeding until there's no tomorrow so I would 'preciate you getting me another paper towel or a rag so I can-" Charmy appeared in the doorway. His face full of (fake?) pity. Sonic spotted him and yelled, "Don't you even think about getting near me, you jerk! I'll never forgive you for this! All of you!"

Charmy protested, "But I'm really, really sorry! I didn't mean… I didn't know…"

Sonic violently grabbed a candle off the table and threw it at Charmy. It missed and crashed into the TV screen. Complaints, accusations, and curses rose up from the living room. "SHUT UP! All of you! Just SHUT UP!" When they heard Sonic's voice and realized that he was the one who broke the TV they quieted almost instantaneously. Sonic put his elbow on the table, resting his head on his fist and sighed. "Someone get Tails. Please."

...

Who would have thought such a small bee could do that to another person/animal... Oh wait. We're talking about Charmy here. Is he really sorry or not? Even I don't know for sure. :) Next chapter we have Knuckles and one of the funniest scenes in the entire work. Hope you'll read it!
