Thanks to everyone for the reviews and comments! I appreciate 'em! X3

Yep, Sonic and company are © Saga (or the Sonic Team, whichever.) and I still take no credit whatsoever for their creation.

Last time- Tails has received a mysterious letter (which he assumed to be his electric bill) on his doorstep that morning, which spoke of a trip for four, including himself, to a new ski resort in the Ice Cap Mountains.

Chapter Dos

Of Battleships and Ketchup Chips

-------------------------

"G-9."

"Aww! You sunk my battleship!"

So here we sit, doing close to absolutely nothing while awaiting our transport to this oh-so-very-wondrous and luxurious ski resort. Sonic and I have been playing a portable version of Battleship for the past hour. Amy and Cream, have meanwhile, gone window shopping in a few boutiques nearby. Judging by Sonic's expression, he didn't exactly want to escort the two ladies there, nor did I. So, we did the sensible thing- Split up.

-Flashback-

Well, in a nutshell, everything was like it normally was when one goes on vacation with friends. Everybody went to pack, as did I, except for the fact it took me a bit longer to get home, as I had to take the next train back to the Mystic Ruins, along with my workshop. While I was packing my toothbrush (which was pretty close to being the only thing I packed… along with my toothpaste, the battleship game, and Mr. Wrenchums… Er, I mean, my favorite book… I noticed the letter was gone. Remembering that I had written down the place and time on a sticky note, which I found stuck to my back for some reason, I decided not to pay too much heed to it.

So, all the while reading over the note a good ammount of times (well, enough to memorize it at least, dispite the fact that it wasn't really necesary..) while waiting for the next train to pull up. Nothing much happened between here and now, except for the fact that I met up with my friends.

Sonic complained I took longer then Amy on a bad hair day, cet comment earning him a rather well-placed hammer whack on the center of his head.. It was a surprise he was still standing...

...Never mind. His lights are out.

"OOOOOH! SONNNIIIKUUUU! I'M SOOO SORRRYYYYY!"

Amy wailed, Cream's chao Cheese joining her with a suspened chortle. A howl, maybe?... No, a chao can't howl. Am I going mad? Anyways...

After the incident and Amy yelling at the top of her lungs for what felt like an hour or two (the lungs on her.. Eesh!) Sonic finally woke up, and everybody went to do thier own thing. Which brings us to now.

-End Flashback-

"A-4... Ergh, i'm getting bored. Where's that helicopter you were going on about? Maybe this is just a practical joke..."

Me, being duped? I shuddered at the very thought. "N-no Sonic, i'm sure it will-"

A splitting pain suddenly throbbed at the back of my head. I felt myself falling... I could hear Sonic say my name. The pain was unbearable. Feeling myself fading, the last thing I witnessed was Sonic running off, promising he'd be back with the girls... and right beside my head...

...A bag of ketchup chips? There was a sticky note on them, but I couldn't see straight- the black ink on the paper appeared blury as I drifted into uncontiousness...

Gah, sorry for the short chapter after the long wait. DX I had major writers block for this chapter, as usual...

Well, I hope you enjoyed it all the same.
