"The first week of school was absolutley amazing!! I finally got to see what land school would be like, since Sonic's friend Elise somehow got us in school. And I still can't believe we grew legs, I mean that was just weird and amazing!! Amy was still curious about why Sonic wanted to stay, since she always cares about him, maybe a little TOO much... Anyways, I'm hoping Silver will go to school with us, even though he left for some very odd reason. And now I'm thinking of going with the Amy and the Twins today, since I heard that they were going to go shopping!! I hope Sonic will get over what happened at school 3 days ago..."

Opening Theme: "Under The Sea" by A-Teens.

Episode 7: A Merhog's Fish Bowl:

It was another beautiful day in the city of Soleanna, as there were alot of people taking a few walks around the city. There were alot of other people hanging out at the beaches, and some people were a little busy with their work. Yes, it was a peaceful day in Soleanna, no signs of Eggman stealing all the fish. Everything seemed all peaceful, except for what was going on at the castle...

"How long has Sonic been locked up in his room?" Tails asked, as he and everyone else were having breakfast.

"Probably about 3 days." Knuckles shrugged, as he took a bite out of his toast.

Most of the girls except Elise, were out in the city doing some shopping, while the guys were left to do nothing, except probably find a way to cheer Sonic up. All the way on the 4th floor, there he was. The blue hedgehog Sonic, was all alone, as he just sat on his bed, with his knees to his chest, as he looked somewhat embarrassed and miserable for some reason. There was not much for him to do, since he was after all locked up in his room. This kinda thing made Lucious happy and what not, since he didn't like seeing Sonic that much; then again, he never liked him or any of his friends. Sonic was doing nothing but whistling to himself, as he looked out the window from his bed.

"I hope Elise is still okay..." Sonic thought to himself, as he remembered what happened 3 days ago.

"What Happened 3 Days Ago..."

It was during lunch at Soldan high, and everyone was getting to their spots. Sonic was carrying a tray full of chili dogs, as he noticed Elise and his other friends. He was walking towards the table he was at, until suddenly he slipped, causing the tray to go flying into the air. Everyone looked at the flying chili dogs, as Sonic looked really worried of what was going to happen to his lunch.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sonic shouted, as everything went slow.

"What's that?" Amy asked in a deep voice.

When Elise looked where Amy was pointing, she saw the chili dogs falling towards the table they were at. They were getting closer and closer, as Flare grabbed the girls, and jumped out of the way. Unfortunatley, he didn't have time to save Elise, as everything started going back to normal speed; then suddenly the chili dogs landed on the poor princess, as they also splattered all over her too. Not only Sonic, but everyone in the cafetiera, had there eyes widened, as they were all quiet as well.

"Oh, Sonic!" Elise said, as she wiped the chili off of her.

"This is probably a good time to start running..." Sonic thougth to himself, as he quickly got up, and zoomed right out of the cafetiera without anyone noticing.

"Back To Where We Were..."

"Elise...I'm sorry." Sonic said to himself sadley, as he just lowered his head.

Back downstairs, Tails and Knuckles were trying to find a way how to get Sonic over it, until Elise came up with an idea.

"I've got it!" Elise said, as the two looked at her with suprised looks.

"What is it? I hope your agreeing we should just knock him back to his senses, with a frying pan." Knuckles said, as both Tails and Elise sweat dropped.

"Uhh...no, I don't think that's what Elise is thinking, Knuckles." Tails said awkwardley. "So what DID you have in mind, Elise?"

The Princess didn't want Lucious to know just in case if he was around, so she decided to whisper it to them. Tails had a small smile across his face, while Knuckles just nodded to whatever Elise was telling them.

"Then it's settled." Tails said.

"I'll go get Sonic." Knuckles said, until he was stopped by Elise.

"Wait. I'll go get him." Elise said, as she went upstairs.

Meanwhile Tails and Knuckles didn't know what else to do, so they decided to do a little game, until Elise would come back with Sonic. Elise was on her way to Sonic's room, who was still moping at the moment. Sonic was still down in the dumps because of that incident, until suddenly he heard knocking coming from the door.

"Sonic? It's Elise." said the princes, as Sonic lifted his head up a little. "I just want to say if you've been apologizing all this time...I forgive you."

When he heard that, he suddenly got up and walked over to unlock the door. Elise soon walked in with a small smile on her face, which got the blue hedgehog really curious on what she was up to.

"So, what's up?" Sonic asked.

"Do you feel like going anywhere today?" Elise asked, in a happy kinda way.

"Uh...sorta. It's been a while since I left this room, except for when I had to go to school of course." Sonic said sheepishly.

"Well then, how would you like to go someplace special?" Elise asked.

"Uh...I don't know..." Sonic said nervously.

"We'll stop for chili dogs." Elise said simpley.

"We better not waste anymore time then!" Sonic said, as he was already out the room.

Elise was just standing there confused, on how Sonic was able to do that. So instead, she shrugged, and decided to head to her room, leaving the blue hedgehog confused. And so, Sonic went downstairs and decided to have a little bit of something before they would go to who knows where.

"Well, look who decided to come out from his room." Knuckles said.

"Haha...very funny, Knucklehead." joked Sonic, as a red vein appeared on Knuckles' head.

"Let's not turn this into another wrestling match, guys!" Tails said, while he was holding Knuckles back, to prevent him from pounding the tar out of Sonic.

Meanwhile, upstairs in Elise's room, the princess herself was getting ready for wherever it was they were going today. She was picking out what to wear today, since this did seem like some special occasion. She was so excited for this day, as she was also hoping that Lucious wouldn't find out. And speaking of the royal pain himself, all the way down to the underwater base where the evil madman Dr. Eggman had built, the two were there thinking of evil plots and what not.

"So tell this one more time." Lucious said in what seemed to be in an irritated voice. "HOW exactly are you going to do it?"

"Why it's simple." Eggman said as he pulled out some chart. "First: we get a Chaos Emerald; Second: we use it to power up the machine; and Third: we lure those pesky fur balls into the lobby, and then WHAM!!!" he finished with a smack across the face on one of the robots behind him, as Lucious just sweat dropped

"This is...ridiculous..." Lucious said, as he headed back to the elevator.

"Wait!! It's not all THAT bad!!" Eggman shouted. "It's perfect, trust me!!"

"I'll get the chefs to bake them cookies instead!!" Lucious shouted, as the elevator door closed on him.

"Well, that could've ended worse..." Eggman said to himself in a dull voice, as he sat down. "Well, I might as well look for those Chaos Emeralds, since I've got nothing else to do. Who knows? I might even find that pesky Merhog again." he said, as he started laughing his head off, which echoed through the entire base.

"2 Hours Later, while somewhere out on the ocean..."

Somewhere out on the ocean, which seemed to be five miles away from Soleanna, this was were the strange figure Stags (from earlier) was waiting. Right when he wasn't in the castle anymore, when the light had shined down upon him him, revealing him as some kind of red Mermobian that was wearing some sort of black armor, which also had few red and blue markings all over it. This also meant that his face couldn't be seen with the helmet on. What he was doing at the moment, was waiting for someone or something. And it also looked like he was getting impatient too, until suddenly he heard a noise coming from the distance. He quickly turned around to see three figures heading to his direction. One of them looked to be a chameleon that was wearing a black and purple cloak, meaning his identidy couldn't be seen. The other one was a small bee that was wearing a black and orange cloak, and the other one was this big crocodile that wore a black and green cloak, as none of their identities could be seen.

"Where have you fools been?!" Stags demanded.

"Uh, sorry boss, we were caught up in a little...mixup earlier..." the crocodile said nervously.

"Mixup? I thought it was you that tried to eat more sea weed again?" the little bee noted.

The crocodile suddenly grew angry with the little bee, so he decided to strangle the little guy, if it wasn't for the chameleon to hold him back. Stags couldn't do nothing but sweat drop at the sight of this.

"ENOUGH!!!" Stags shouted, as the three mermobians floated up straight. "Okay, let's get down to business." he said camley, as he pulled out a small orb, revealing an image of Sonic as it glowed. "I want you to find this merhog, and bring him to me."

"It shall be done." the chameleon stated.

"But where do we find him, sir?" the crocodile asked curiously.

"As much as I've seen, he's currently on....Land." he hissed at the last word.

"LAND?!?!" the three exclaimed.

"You mean...we have to go the bad place...where all the Land Monsters are??" the little bee asked frightened.

"Without water??" the crocodile asked frightened also.

"Without these two, I hope." the chameleon muttered to himself.

"You won't die, for Neptune's sake." the black armored mermobian said irratibly. "You'll just grow legs once your on land for more than two minutes..."

The three could do nothing but stare at him, as he sweat dropped again.

"Oh for Neptune's sake...JUST GO!!!!" Stags shouted, as the trio quickley swam to Soleanna...or at least that's what he thought. "The other direction, morons!!" he called, as the two quickly headed the right way. "Oh forgive me, Lord Nazo..." he said to himself, while shaking his head in disappointment.

"Meanwhile in the city of Soleanna..."

Somewhere in the streets, there was the white limo that had Elise, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, as they were heading to wherever it was they were taking Sonic. And as Elise said earlier, Sonic was already chowing down on some chili dogs. He kept munching away, as both Tails and Knuckles just wanted to hurl. Elise however just ignored what they were doing, although she didn't want any of the chili to get on her clothes this time, since she was wearing a red shirt with a diamond shape on it, as she was also wearing a pair of blue jeans, along with different red high heels. She still wore the blue necklace, which Sonic never seemed to notice ever since he first came on land. Sonic was still curious on where they were going, as both Tails and Knuckles had devilish smiles on their faces.

"Are we there yet?" Sonic whined.

"For the last time--" Knuckles was getting ready to pummel him until...

"We're here!" Elise said, as the three looked out the window.

It was hard for Sonic to tell, since he couldn't see the sign, until the limo driver opened up the door. The three mobians had fallen out the limo with a loud thud, as both Elise and the driver sweat dropped. When Sonic and the others had gotten up, both Tails and Knuckles had smiles across their faces, while Sonic's eyes were widened at what the sign had said.

"SEA WORLD?!?!" Sonic gasped.

"We thought it would cheer you up, since it would remind you of home..." Tails whispered in Sonic's ear.

"Besides, this place has so many fishes that are from many places around the world!" Knuckles said, as neither of them were unaware that Sonic was feeling a little uneasy about this.

"I get it...this is probably revenge for making Knuckles eat that green stuff they called Mold, on Tuesday." Sonic thought to himself.

"Come on Sonic, I think you might like it!" Elise said, as she gracefully walked past the three.

And so, Tails and Knuckles decided to drag the stubborn hedgehog inside the aquarium, as the limo took off, meaning that Sonic wouldn't be going back to the castle in a while. When they got in, they decided to split up in two, so Knuckles decided to go Tails, and Sonic had no choice but to go with Elise. The four of them had parted from eachother for a while, as they were uaware that the purple chameleon was somewhere around the corner.

"Now how do you attract a merhog?" he asked himself. "This would be the first place they'd go." he said as he examined the place. "Why do these land creatures even keep fishes here anyway?" Soon he noticed an anglerfish, which gave him an idea. "It's a good thing Stags gave us these potions..."

Meanwhile, Tails and Knuckles were looking around the place some more, as they noticed a beluga in one of the tanks.

"Wow...there are so many fishes I haven't seen before!" Tails said in awe.

"Yeah, I know." Knuckles said, as he walked around some more, leaving Tails behind.

While he was walking around some more, he suddenly slipped on a banana peel that seemed to have came out from nowhere. He soon fell, as he was falling down the stairs, until suddenly something broke his fall.

"Wow, that didn't even hurt." Knuckles said suprised, as he got up.

"Easy for you to say...." said a voice that Knuckles knew.

When Knuckles looked at who he fell on, he noticed it was a familiar red hedgehog that was wearing a white shirt with a black flame on it, along with a pair of black jeans, and some black and grey shoes. Knuckles knew exactly who this was...

"Flare!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"Yeah it's me." Flare said as he got up. "So what are you doing here?"

"We decided to bring Sonic here so we would cheer him up." Knuckles said.

"Oh yeah, the chili dog incident." Flare said. "So where's Mizuki and Chaos?"

"Oh the girls are out shopping." Knuckles said simpley. "Course, I did hear Chaos mentioning something about not wanting to go, but was dragged for it anyways." They both snickered at that moment.

"So if your friend Sonic's here, then where's Tails and the Princess?" Flare asked.

"Sonic is with Elise, and Tails--" Knuckles soon stopped at that last part.

"What's wrong?" Flare asked.

"I forgot Tails at the Beluga area!!" Knuckles stated, as thjey both hurried back where Tails was.

Meanwhile, Sonic and Elise were at the place where all the big fishes and mammals were. They saw Orcas, Belugas, Sharks, and even Dolphins. There was one Dolphin that caught Sonic's attention, as he quickly looked at it. The Dolphin was blue, and had a few markings on it. For some reason Sonic felt like he knew this creature from somewhere before.

"Please, I don't belong here!!" cried a voice, as Sonic looked around to where it came from.

"Must have been my imagination..." Sonic thought to himself as he shrugged.

"Someone help me!!" it said again, as Sonic slowley looked at the Dolphin.

"Um...Elise?" Sonic asked.

"Yes, what is it Sonic?" Elise asked.

"What's the name of this dolphin?" Sonic asked curiously.

"I beleive it's called Flitron." Elise said, as she read the discription.

That was when it hit Sonic, as his eyes widened a little.

"Flitron, can you hear me? My name is Sonic. We've met before, remember?" Sonic said in his mind.

"Sonic the Merhog??" the dolphin known as Flitron responded. "Now I remember! You helped us with our food supply back at home, with my help of course. But what are you doing here?"

"I have my own reasons..." Sonic said, as he looked over to Elise. "That doesn't matter right now...How did you end up here?"

"Well it started out six weeks ago, when I was getting some food for my kids, then suddenly this net came out of nowhere, and it caught the fishes, with me along with it." Flitron explained. "I bet everyone must be worried sick without me!"

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of here somehow!" Sonic said, as he looked around for any escape.

"It's no use, Sonic." Flitron said disappointedly. "I've been trying to find a way out, but there's no other escape route."

That was until Sonic looked over to the fence, that showed a tunnel that would lead to the ocean.

"How about you try jumping out?" Sonic suggested.

"What? I can't jump that high!" Flitron said suprised.

"Don't worry, you can leave that to me!" Sonic said as he gave Flitron a thumbs up.

"Sonic...what are you doing?" Elise asked awkwardly, as Sonic sweat dropped at what he did.

"Uhh...nothing?" Sonic said, as Elise raised a brow. "I uh...have to go to the bathroom REAL bad!!"

And with that, he zipped through a few people, as he went to find Tails and Knuckles, leaving the Princess behind, while she was confused on what just happened. She was thinking of following him, until suddenly she heard screaming coming from the other side of the aquarium. She rushed over to what was going on, until she had the feeling that Sonic had. So she thought it could wait, as she hurried to the bathroom. Meanwhile Sonic, and Knuckles heard it also, so they hurried to whatever was going on. Tails however, was busy with something else...

"Cream!" Tails said suprised. "Did you come to see the fishes also?"

"Yep!" the rabbit known as Cream nodded. "I sometimes like to come here on Saturdays."

"You look nice in that outfit today." Tails said, as Cream looked at her orange dress, along with her yellow shoes also. "Did I just say that?! Nice going, Tails!!" he thought to himself, as his face went slightly pink.

"Why thank you." Cream said kindley. "While your here, do you wanna go see the Dolphins?"

"Sure!" Tails said, as they both walked together.

Meanwhile back where Knuckles was, when he heard the scream, he told Flare to go find Tails, as he ran off to wherever the noise was coming from.

"Hey, Sonic! Did you hear it too?" Knuckles called, as he caught up with Sonic.

"I sure did!" Sonic said. "Whatever it is, it's not good."

"I think it came from over there." Knuckles said, as he pointed to a nearby hallway.

And so, they rushed over to the hallway, as they entered through a door. When they got in, they saw that the room was one of those entertainment aquariums, as there were alot of people screaming from something. Sonic and Knuckles were both confused until suddenly, that was when they saw it.

"I bet this will lure out a merhog..." the chameleon said to himself, as he was ontop of a giant monster anglerfish of some sort.

"What is that thing?!" Knuckles gasped.

"Whatever it is, we can't let it harm these people." Sonic exclaimed, as he looked around for any place that was wet. "Say Knuckles...."

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Do you think it's possible, that you still have your strong punches as a land creature?" Sonic asked curiously.

"I think." Knuckles asked confused. "I'll try to distract it, but what will you do?"

"I'm going to get some help." Sonic said as he rushed off the other direction.

And so Knuckles was left there confused for a while, until he had to find a way to stop that thing without causing any panic. That was until he noticed a few spotlights, so he went to find the room that controls them. Meanwhile Sonic was on his way to the Dolphin area, which was were Flitron was waiting.

"Move over buddy, I'm coming in!" Sonic said, as he jumped in while no one was around.

Right when Sonic had got into the water, his legs had changed back into a tail, as Flitron was suprised by this. Sonic just smirked, and found the tunnel that would lead to the entertainment area, so he performed a twirl dash, and busted right through the gate.

"We have do something before we get you out, Flitron." Sonic explained, as he and the blue dolhpin swam through the tunnel.

Meanwhile, Knuckles had finally found the room, since all the other rooms he found were either closets, food storage, or for some bizarre reason, an arcade gallery. Knuckles didn't even bother asking about that, all that mattered was stopping this creature somehow. It took him a while until he accidentily hit the speaker button, as his voice was heard from the speakers outside.

"Uhh...don't worry folks, this is all part of the show!" Knuckles said through the mike, as everyone else started calming down a little. Soon he noticed Sonic was in the water, along with Flitron, as he sighed in relief. "And now, we go to our Mermaid Battle Act!!" Knuckles said proudly, as the audience cheered.

Sonic just smirked, as he quickly jumped out of the water, as the chameleon was suprised by this.

"I knew that would lure him out sooner or later." he said, as he smirked, until he was whacked by Sonic's tail, and was thrown off the beast, and into a dumpster. "Owww..." he groaned.

And all that was left was the monster anglerfish, as Sonic was a bit clueless on what to do. That was until he heard something from the speaker.

"And now there shall be two mermaids fighting the mighty beast!!" Knuckles said, as he ran out of the room, and into one of the aquariums near it.

Sonic was a little confused, until he saw Knuckles arrive in his merchidna form.

"What took ya so long?" Sonic joked.

"You wouldn't believe the traffic!" Knuckles joked, as they both chuckled.

"Uhh...guys?" Flitron said nervously, as she pointed out to where the beast was.

When the two mermobians looked behind, all they saw were huge jaws heading towards them. They soon made a break for it, as they swam around the giant pool in circles. Knuckles started to turn around and swim right towards the giant anglerfish, as he readied his fists. Right when he pounded his fist against the creature's head, it made a sudden stop, as there was a big splash in the pool, as some of the water landed on the audience. They didn't even care if they got wet, as they cheered on. While the beast was stunned, this was a good oppertunity for Sonic. He quickley jumped out of the pool, and performed some kind of homing attack, but was coming at the beast like a drill. As he made direct contact, the impact of it was so strong, that the beast had reverted back to a regular anglerfish.

"Let's give a hand to the Actors of this performance!!" said Flare, as he somehow snuck into the room.

When Sonic and Knuckles peeked their heads out from the pool, everyone started cheering loudley. They both looked at eachother and shrugged, as they started to bow and wave to the audience.

"I could get use to this." Sonic said proudley.

"Don't even think about it." Knuckles said while trying to keep his cool.

"45 Minutes later..."

Everyone seemed okay after the incident, as Tails introduced everyone to Cream, who became his new friend. Sonic was able to get Flitron back to her home, since he tried using his twirl dash to help her jump high above the fence. The purple Chameleon escaped after gaining his sense back. And what was going on now, was that everyone was looking for Sonic, since he never came out of the bathroom for a while. Everyone splitted into groups, while Elise however decided to go alone. She was walking around the place, as she found no trace of him.

"Sonic, where are you?" Elise asked herself, until suddenly there was a glow coming from behind her.

When she slowley looked behind her, she suddenly gasped at what she saw.

"It's you!" Elise said, as she was face to face with the Merhog, as he was in one of the aquariums.

"Yes, it's me." Sonic said, as he tried to sound so calm and quiet.

"Why did you have to leave so soon, at that night 8 years ago?" Elise asked sadley.

"I had no choice...I couldn't be seen by more of your kind..." Sonic explained. "But don't worry, this isn't the last time you'll see me..."

"When will I see you again?" she asked, as she got closer to the glass.

"You'll have to find me.....soon...." Sonic said, as he got closer to the glass.

They were both getting close to the glass, as their faces were almost touching it. They knew what they were doing, as they closed their eyes, and slowley let their lips touch the glass, as it looked like they were actually kissing eachother. It took about 1 minute for them to let go of the glass, as they opened their eyes.

"Please.....find me....." Sonic said slowley, as the light suddenly died out, and he was no longer there.

"I will." Elise said to hersef quietly, as she exited the area she was at.

"Meanwhile at the castle...."

Lucious was heading over to where Eggman was, as he went through the elevator, and entered the base. When he got there, he was just dumbstruck to find the madman sleeping.

"I'm really starting to have second thoughts on--cookies!" Lucious said happily, as he noticed a tray of cookies on the desk near Eggman.

Without checking to see if Eggman was still sleeping, he quickly grabbed one and took a bite out of it.

"That is a really good cook--oh no..." Lucious said, as he realized what he just did. "These were for Sonic and his furry friends...." he trailed off, as he suddenly collapsed onto the floor sleeping.

Soon Eggman fell off his chair, and landed right next to Lucious, as they both started to cuddle together.

And so, for the rest of the day, everyone made it back to the castle, after they found Sonic, which of course he had to explain that he saw a chili dog stand nearby. Elise however forgave him, as the girls came back with lots of clothes. Amy, Blaze and Mizuki bought some clothes for Elise, since she never went with them. Lucious and Eggman started screaming when they woke up and found what position they were in, as neither of them left their rooms for the rest of the night. Meanwhile in the city, the crocodile gave the chameleon a scolding when he came back with no Merhog. And Stags was also really angry with this, as he didn't want to fail Nazo. Although back at the castle, Elise was still thinking of that thing at Sea World today, as this one thing kept going through her head: "Find....me....soon....."
