Authors Note: Ok refer to previous chapter for the disclaimer.
Big thanks goes out to DJ Bleach and Bolton for their kind reviews, you both are awesome! ^^ I also want to thank my girlfriend for the idea for this chapter, and for not getting mad at me for poking fun at Tails. ^^ Another thanks goes out to everyone else who has read this up to this point; thanks for giving me the opportunity to make you laugh, cry, or want to gouge your eyes out with a spork. (Is it me or did that just sound like an Oscar Award speech…kinda scary really…) Well, uhm, here's chapter six…
Wait!! Here's a quick refresher for you; in chapter five we found that Mike the Wal-Mart cashier had become Mike the beer delivery guy. We also learned that Rouge is very protective of Knuckles and that Shadow holds alcohol about as well as a fork holds soup. Also if a word has an extra "sh" added to it, you pronounce it like a drunken slur; just in case you didn't know. See, now wasn't that informative?
Now I present to you…chapter six:
Everyone was pretty well plastered. Even Vector, who was by far the best drinker of them all, was well on his way to wasted. Amy was passed out on the floor, Shadow was in the bathroom still throwing up, Espio was studying his hand as though he had never seen it before, Tails was attempting to fly off of the speakers by flapping his arms because he was so drunk he forgot he had his namesakes', Rouge had fallen asleep on Knuckles chest, and Sonic, Knux, and Vector were sitting on the couch trying to think of something to do:
"Wellsh we could drink shome moresh," suggested Sonic with a slur.
"No, we can'tsh do thatsh," Knuckles slurred back at him, "Wesh alreadysh drunksh all the booze!"
It was two in the morning and they couldn't play anymore music. This was due to the fact that Espio had tripped on one of the wires connecting the DJ equipment to the speakers and smashed clean through Knuckles DJ workstation in his drunken fall. Needless to say that had created a struggle between the chameleon and the echidna which neither one of them remembered about an hour after it happened. By now though Sonic and Knux were the only ones who still had a major slurring problem
"Well," began the not quite so wasted Vector, "I have an idea,".
"Yesh," both of his companions said.
"Sonic…where does Robotnik live?", asked the gator.
"He livesh in shome big housesh about an hour and a halfsh up the road from heresh,". replied the blue blur.
"Awesome," said Vector. He removed a cell phone from his pocket and dialed up a number: "Hey…what's up?…we need the van…how soon can you be here?…nice, ok we'll be outside waiting for you…later," and with that he hung up.
"Whos in the hellsh wash that?" questioned Knux.
"Big," began Vector. His friends just gave him a confused look. "He's the one we hired to be the janitor at the distributor," Vector explained as best he could to the drunks, "He's bringing the van over now,". Vector now addressed the whole room, "everyone get ready to leave…we're goin' on a prank run,".
At the end of that sentence everyone, except for Amy who was still out cold, slowly got up and stumbled up the basement stairs to go out pulling pranks on people. Vector decided to write Amy a message on a piece of scrap paper and taped it to her forehead in case she woke up while they were gone. It said:
"Amy, we have all left the house to go out and prank Robotnik. You passed out here on the floor and Sonic said you are too big a pain in the ass to go anyway. We'll be back by five. If we aren't please come bail us out of jail. Vector."
Five minutes later a set of headlights could be seen weaving back and forth up the driveway. A moment later the purple van came to an abrupt stop outside of the house and Big climbed out. He held a flask in his hand and his eyes were heavily glazed over.
"Heysh everybodysh," slurred the cat, "What'sh up?"
"Argh," groaned Vector, "Big, have you been drinking on the job again?"
"Wellsh, that new guy and Charmysh threw a parties earliersh!" spat Big, "so I thought I couldsh toosh,".
"I know they were, I gave them permission to do so," lied Vector, "what in God's name are you drinking anyway? You smell like a Russian hobo!"
"Vodkash!," replied Big with a wide grin, "I found it under the upfrontsh counter earlier tonightsh,".
"Son of a bitch, that's MY vodka!", exclaimed Vector. "Damn it Big, gimmie your flask,".
"Awe, damnsh it," whined Big as he handed the flask to Vector.
"Now walk back down to the distributor and finish cleaning it up," the gator ordered.
Big just sighed as he started slowly waddling down the driveway.
"Here Knuckles," Vector started as he handed the echidna the flask, "hold this,".
Knuckles snatched the flask out of the gators' hand and immediately took a large gulp of the liquid held inside it. Almost instantly there was a visible change in the echidnas' expression. That's when all hell started to break loose:
"Dammit Big," roared Knuckles after the cat, who had stopped to urinate on one of the bushes lining the driveway, "get the hell off my property!"
He picked up a stone and chucked it at Big's head. The rock struck the cat right in the middle of his head and he instantly fell over unconscious.
Rouge became very scared at this point and turned to Sonic, who was laughing himself silly:
"What just happened…I mean why did Knuckles all of a sudden become extremely violent?" she asked the blue hedgehog.
Sonic was laughing so hard that he couldn't answer her. Instead it was Shadow who spoke up:
"Well," he began, "you ever notice how certain brands or kinds of alcoholic drinks make certain people mad?
"Yeah," she answered nodding her head.
"Well that drink for Knuckles just so happens to be Russian vodka, and my guess is that Vector knows how it affects Knux so he handed it to him on purpose," finished the black hedgehog.
"Give me that flask babe," Rouge ordered Knuckles.
Knuckles reluctantly gave it up after she threatened to break up with him.
"Tails," she started again, "here you hold onto this,".
She handed Tails the flask and the orange fox just smiled at her.
"As soon as she isn't looking I'm gonna take some then slip it back to Knuckles. That will make this night a whole lot more interesting," he thought.
And sure enough as soon as they were all in the Chaotix's van Rouge dozed off for a while, so he took a swig from it and handed it back to the echidna who gave him a big thumbs up.
A little over an hour later the van pulled up to a large house on a mountainside. The friends all got out and prepared to pull the ultimate prank on Dr. Robotnik.
Wow this is a short chapter. Sorry about that.
Anyways, what do you all think would be the ultimate prank to pull on Dr. Robotnik. I have one or two ideas, but would like some more. So leave your suggestions through either a PM or review and if I use your idea I'll be sure to give you credit for it.
Well, I believe the next chapter will be the last. So I hope you stop back and check it out.
Until then, happy reading and writing,
Sons of Ocelot
