Chapter 8

Aundrey and Espio arrived at McDonalds.

"Can you remind me again why we're here?" Espio asked Aundrey.

Aundrey sighed heavily.

"I've already told you a thousand times! The plan is that we buy tons of McDonalds food to feed Vanilla ice cream!"

"Vanilla rabbit."

"Whatever! Anyway, we give her the food, and if she eats it and blows up, she's evil!" Aundrey exclaimed.

"And what if she doesn't blow up?" Espio said, glaring at Aundrey.

"Oh. Then she's not evil. BUT! If she resists to eat the food, that automatically makes her evil! No one says no to McDonalds except evil people!" Aundrey explained.

"I say no to McDonalds. They have fatty burgers and unhealthy food that-"

"Shut up." Aundrey said, giving him the hand.

Knuckles, who worked in McDonalds, came to the register to take their order.

"Hey, I'm knuckles, may I take your orde- OH, HELL NO!" He exclaimed when he saw Espio and Aundrey.

"Hey, Knuckie old pal. How ya been?" Aundrey answered, chuckling sheepishly.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Knuckles screamed, causing a scene.

"I'm sorry, did I miss something?" Espio asked.

"A LOT." Aundrey whispered.

The manager came out of the kitchen to see what was happening.

"Knuckles? Yelling at customers again, I see! Haven't I warned you about that?" The manager, Silver, scolded.

"THAT'S THE BRAT THAT STOLE MY HONEY BBQ CHIPS AND LIED ABOUT IT!" Knuckles exclaimed.

Silver gave him a blank stare.

"Chips? Dude, chips are a dollar in 7/11, just get some more." Silver told him calmly.

"DAMMIT, SHE TOOK THE CHIPS I PAID FOR! DOESN'T ANYONE CARE?! AUUUUGGHH!" Knuckles raged.

Silver shook his head at the echidna, who was having a mini nervous breakdown. He looked up at Espio and Aundrey.

"Sorry about him. I think those tight dreadlocks are interferring with his brain or something. Can I take your order?" Silver asked politely.

"Yes, I would like one of everything on the menu. And a kids meal for the kid." Aundrey told him.

"Charmy?" Espio asked.

"No, you."

Espio scowled. "Do I look like a kid?"

"Are you a kid?" Aundrey asked him.

"Yes." Espio answered against his will.

Silver snickered to himself, but quickly stopped.

"Ahem. So that's one kids meal, and what was the other thing?" Silver asked, typing it all down on the computer.

"I said I want one of everything on the menu."

Silver looked at her funny for a second.

"Did you just say you wanted one of EVERYTHING on the menu?"

"I believe I did."

"Ok..." Silver said, typing rapidly. "That will bring your total up to...$154.76"

Aundrey opened her pockets that were empty.

"Oops, no money. Espio, be a dear and pay for it." Aundrey said.

"Hell no!"

"Will you pay for the food Espio?" Aundrey asked.

"Yes..." Espio growled, taking out the money.

"Thank you for choosing McDonalds! Your estimated waiting time is 2 hours. Have a great day!" Silver said happily.

"This has been bothering me ever since I first saw you. Are you a snow rabbit or what?" Aundrey asked, squinting at Silver.

"Well, uh, no ma'am, I'm what you might call a hedgehog." Silver informed her.

Aundrey observed him for a short period of time.

"Nah. You'll always be a rabbit in my book. See ya soon, Sliver."

"It's Silver. Silver the hedgehog..."

"Sliver the snow rabbit. Gotcha." Aundrey said, dragging a pissed looking Espio out with her.

"Well, we have 2 hours to burn. What do you want to do?" Aundrey asked Espio.

"Gee, I don't know. Wait! I have an idea! Let's go GET MY MONEY BACK!" Espio exclaimed.

"Jeez, calm your buns Esp. This will all be worth it when we use that food as bait for Vanilla to prove that she's evil. And then you guys can get married, and have evil demonic kids that explode whenever they eat McDonalds." Aundrey reassured him.

"But how do you know that she's evil?! What if she eats the damn food and DOESN'T blow up?! Wouldn't that be a waste of $154?!" Espio shouted.

"Espio. I watch Animal planet, k?"

"What's THAT supposed to mean?!"

"It means I'm smarter than you."

Espio couldn't take anymore of Aundrey, so he tackled her down to the ground. Right in front of the McDonalds they had just left.

Silver and Knuckles watched the two brawl outside from the window.

"Should we call the police for public violence?" Silver asked Knuckles.

"Nah. We should call the police because that BRAT stole my chips!" Knuckles shouted.

"Knuckles! Let it go, bro!" Silver said, facepalming.

"I still remember the bag! The texture of it! The honey bbq cartoon on it! The medium sized shape of it!" Knuckles said, sobbing.

Silver looked down at him, shaking his head.

"You need psychological help. I'm gonna go start on the food. Maybe you can come help me?"

Knuckles started to sob harder.

"I guess not, then."

Meanwhile, Espio and Aundrey had attracted a crowd around them when they were fighting. So far, Aundrey was winning.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Espio shouted.

"You know better than to tackle me!" Aundrey screamed, repeatedly punching Espio in the stomach.

"It's the fuzz!" Someone yelled from the crowd.

Everyone dispersed from the scene, leaving Espio and Aundrey fighting. The police came over.

"What are you two doing? *Gasp* Are you fighting?!" He asked, surprised.

"And in front of a McDonalds too, I might add!" Another police officer said.

"We're not fighting." Aundrey replied, still punching Espio.

"But, aren't you hitting that guy in the stomach right at this moment?"

"What? No. This guy is choking, and I'm trying to punch the food out of his stomach." Aundrey said, sarcastically.

"Please call back up." Espio whispered to the policeman.

"See? He's having trouble talking at the moment, but he'll be fine!" Aundrey assured them.

The police shrugged, and walked away from the scene.

Espio managed to push Aundrey off of him.

"Look, we are getting no where fighting like this! Let's just wait until the food's done, and try to remain calm. Okay?" Espio said, holding out his hand.

Aundrey hesitated, but gave him a grin. "Alright." She said calmly. Almost too calmly.

"Well, what do you want to do?" Espio asked Aundrey, regretting that he did such a thing.

Aundrey smiled evilly. "I never thought you would ask! So you know that hedgehog, right?"

"Which hedgehog? Shadow? Silver? Knuckles?" Espio asked.

"Knuckles is a damn echidna! I'm talking about the blue one!"

"Oh, Sonic? What about him?"

"Well, word on the street is that it's his anniversary birthday or something. All I know is that there's a party, and I wasn't invited! So, we're gonna crash it!" Aundrey said, laughing evilly.

Espio facepalmed. "For one, Sonic doesn't even know you like that! Two, you are evil! Who would invite you to a party?!" He said.

"Well he knows you well! Why didn't you get invited, hm? Please give me an explanation."

Espio was silent.

"Just as I thought. So come on, we're going to go crash that trash!"

Espio sighed and followed Aundrey, knowing there would be consequences to pay for doing so.

20 minutes later...

"Aundrey, are you sure this is the house? I'm getting tired of walking into strangers' homes." Espio sighed.

"I'm positive." Aundrey answered, knocking on the door.

Espio raised an eyebrow in response to this.

"I thought we were going to 'Crash' the party?" He asked Aundrey.

"Well dude, we can't just barge in, they might call the cops. We almost got in trouble with them today already."

Espio rolled his eyes at her.

Sonic came to answer the door, wearing a party hat.

"Hey guys, what's up? Come on in! The party just started." Sonic said, giving them his signature grin.

Aundrey blushed, but stopped quickly.

"Erm...sure! Come on, Esp." She went into the house, with Espio following behind.

There were TONS of people at Sonic's party! Heck, there were also some fanfic authors there, too.

"Don't think I didn't see that." Espio smirked at Aundrey.

"See what?"

"As soon as Sonic smiled at you, you blushed. It's a shame, really. Don't you have Shadow?" Espio joked.

"Eh, that's old news. But Sonic...we were a match made in heaven." Aundrey whispered to herself.

"If you say so." Espio said, shrugging. "Just watch out for Amy!"

"Huh? Anime?"

"Nevermind. So are we still crashing the party or what?" Espio asked.

"What? No! This is my future husband's birthday party! How do you think that will make me look, crashing this party?!

"Bad. Terrible. Evil. Cold-hearted. Despicable. Mean. Vicious. I can continue this list, you know." Espio said.

"Whateves. Lets go party!" Aundrey said, going on the dancefloor. Sonic also happened to be there.

"Hey, girl! You wanna dance with me?" Sonic asked her, giving off his charm.

"AAAH! This can't be happening! Wait, pause. If I like a guy I just met today, does that make me worser than Anna off of 'Frozen'? Well, I've met him before, and it's not like we're gonna get married! So it's cool!" Aundrey thought.

"Um, yeah, sure." Aundrey said, blushing madly.

Sonic grabbed her hand and started to spin Aundrey really fast. When he stopped, she was dizzy.

"That was awesome." Aundrey said, in a daze.

From the other side of the room, a certain pink-haired hedgehog was watching the two dance.

"I know this chick is NOT dancing with my man! NOT MY SONIKKU!" Amy growled, breaking the glass she was holding.

"Amy, calm down. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Cream reassured her.

"So, how old are you turning?" Aundrey asked Sonic.

"Oh, I'm 15. But yet, I'm celebrating my 23rd anniversary. Weird, right?" Sonic said.

"Yeah. It's weird." Aundrey said, giggling.

"He's 15? I'm 13! He's only two years older than me, no biggie." She thought.

"A misunderstanding? A MISUNDERSTANDING?!" Amy shouted, going over to the scene.

"Amy!" Blaze and Cream yelled, following her.

Espio saw this, and made a mad dash to the dancefloor where Sonic and Aundrey were dancing.

"Aundrey, we gotta go. Like, now!" Espio alerted Aundrey.

"What? Already?" Sonic said, giving her a sad smile.

"Yeah, Espio! What's the problem?" Aundrey asked him angrily.

"Amy's coming for you! She saw you talking to Sonic! Let's go before you turn into dead meat!" Espio said.

"But I-"

"SONICCCCCC!" An evil demonic voice boomed throughout the house.

"Um, bye Sonic! Happy Birthday,and stuff!" Aundrey shouted, running away with Espio before Amy came onto the dancefloor.

"WHERE IS SHE?! HUH?! WHERE IS SHE?!" Amy (if that's what you want to call that demon) Shouted.

"Who is she? The only 'she' my eyes see is you." Sonic said, using his charm on Amy.

Amy turned back to normal.

"Oh, Sonikku! So compassionate." Amy said, hugging him.

"Damn, Sonic! How the hell are you getting all of these girls?" Shadow asked him.

"You just gotta have charm." Sonic told him, smirking.

"And luck." Tails mumbled.

At McDonalds...

Silver was just finishing up the food, while Knuckles was still rambling on about his damn potato chips.

"...And we were going to have children. For a boy, Knuckles Jr. For a girl, barbequicia!" He sobbed.

Silver looked at him in disgust. "Seriously ?! SERIOUSLY?! Having children with a bag of potato chips?! WTF!" Silver shouted at Knuckles. "And not to mention you didn't even help me with the damn food! You're lucky that I'm a nice guy, and I won't fire your ass! I should've fired you ever since you yelled at that poor defenseless little girl! Now, I've sat here and listened to your pointless rambling for 2 hours straight! Please. Shut. up." He begged.

Knuckles stopped sobbing and stood up.

"Uh, sorry for yelling, but I was getting sick and tired of you. Don't hurt me!" Silver said, putting on sad anime eyes.

"You know what, Silver? You're right." Knuckles said.

"I-I am?"

"Yeah."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"Ok, so just to be clear, you're not gonna beat me up later on, right?" Silver asked.

"Although I would really love to for yelling at me like that, I'm not going to. Mainly because I can't lose another job." Knuckles said.

Silver sighed with relief.

Just then, Espio and Aundrey ran through the doors.

"Is the food done?" Aundrey asked, panting.

"Yes, just take it, and get out of here!" Knuckles snapped, throwing 10 Bags of food at Aundrey.

"Jeez, ok! Bye Sliver the snow rabbit. Bye Knuckles the enchilada." Aundrey said, running out of the McDonalds with Espio following behind.

" I hate her so much." Silver sighed. "And I like EVERYONE!"

"Yeah, well, welcome to my world." Knuckles said, crossing his arms.

At Team Chaotix's house...

"Where are the other two? Espio and the little girl with the pretty red hair?" Vanilla asked Vector.

"Probably up to no good, like always." Vector said, shaking his head.

Aundrey and Espio came through the door.

"Miss Vanilla! Espio brought you some food to eat!" Aundrey said, dropping the bags on her.

"Oh, my!" She said, amazed to see all of the bags of food that sat on her lap.

"Well, it WAS Aundrey's plan! Remember that when you blow up- I mean, get full!" Espio said, laughing nervously.

Vector rolled his eyes at Espio's so- called attempt to flirt with his girl.

"Oh, dear. I couldn't possibly eat all of this. Oh, who am I kidding?! Pass me a Big Mac!" Vanilla said viciously.

Everyone gave her a wtf face.

"Pass me a big mac, please?" She asked, nicely.

Aundrey gave her the bag with the big mac in it. As soon as she got it, Vanilla gulped it down in one bite.

"Ooh, I'm so full. I think I might explode!" Vanilla said, holding her stomach.

Aundrey took cover behind a chair, while Espio did the same.

"See?! Every evil person that eats McDonalds food explodes! Now she's gonna explode in here and kill us all!" Aundrey told Espio.

"I hate to admit it, but you were right! And Aundrey?"

"Yeah?"

"You remember that Degrassi you had set to record at 9?"

"What about it?"

"Don't get mad, but I kind of cancelled it!"

"You what?! Why?! Now how am I supposed to know if that girl took her boyfriend back?!" Aundrey asked angrily.

"Does that really matter? We're about to die." Espio told her.

"So?! I at least wanted to see a new episode before I died of an evil explosion!"

"What are you two dears talking about? I'm fine." Vanilla said, taking a pain reliever and water. "Charmy here brought me some medicine. I have to be careful and start chewing my food more, I guess."

Aundrey and Espio got off of the floor.

"So, you're NOT gonna explode?" Aundrey asked her cautiously.

"Well, no. I don't think-"

"Screw it, I'm going back to Sonic's party. Coming Espio? Espio?" Aundrey called.

But Espio just stood there, twitching his eye due to the fact that he wasted all of his money on McDonalds food.

"I'm gonna kill you." Espio said with no emotion.

"Espio? We don't wanna do things we want to regret later on, do we?" Aundrey said, running away with Espio chasing after. "ESPIO, CHILL!"

"What darling children." Vanilla said, smiling at the two.

"And you can have them both for the low, low, price of free!" Vector said.

"Ohoho, that's too expensive for me, I believe."

Vector sighed, and picked up an apple pie out of the McDonalds bag.

Whew! took me awhile! (considering the fact that I did this entire chapter today, but enough about me) Anyway, happy 23rd anniversary sonic! Yet you're still 15...huh.
