Chapter 2: No fun

The next day on the ship was what Sonic liked to call "no fun". He got seasick really fast and couldn't relax to save his life!

Worse were the little things that Amy "forgot" to tell him. Little things like it was a weeklong cruise and it had a surprising lack of chilidogs. Thanks Amy.

So at lunchtime, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles agreed that they needed to get Sonic to do something on the ship.

Amy knocked on the door of his room. "Sonic . . ."

"Go away."

"Do you want to come out and have a picnic on the deck with us?"

"No."

"What about a game of ping-pong? Two versus two, Tails and you versus Knuckles and me."

"No."

"What about a massage? You love those! And what better way to relax?"

"Nope."

"Sonic, you can't stay in your room this whole vacation!"

"I beg to differ."

"SONIC!"

"I'm staying here, and I'm not leaving."

"What's the point of going on a vacation if you aren't going to enjoy it?"

"What's the point of taking a vacation over WATER!"

"FINE! Go ahead and stay in there."

"Thank you."

Amy grumbled, "All right, that's it! If you don't come out in ten seconds, I'm going to break the door down with my hammer! One . . . two . . . three . . ."

"Very funny, Amy, but you wouldn't break the door down."

"Four . . . five . . ."

"You're joking, right?"

"Six . . . seven . . . eight . . ."

"RIGHT?!"

"Nine . . ."

"Amy, wait!" Sonic opened the door. "Fine, I'll . . . take a look around."

Amy put down her hammer, relieved that she didn't have to actually hit him, which probably would have made him even more disagreeable.

She was prepared to walk with him down the hall with the others, maybe hold hands with him, but she didn't even have the chance. Sonic was already speeding his way down the hall. The trio of friends had just walked up on top of the deck, when Sonic came tearing his way back below deck. Amy angrily rushed back to Sonic's room, where she found the door locked shut.

"SONIC! You said you would come out!"

"No, I didn't. I said I would take a look. No fun."

"How would you have seen anything?! You were running around 400 miles an hour!"

No reply.

Amy sulked outside Sonic's door while Tails and Knuckles came down.

Tails looked at her.

"YOU try reasoning with him! I'm done! Stupid, selfish, stubborn..."

Tails sighed as he walked up to the door. "Sonic..."

"I said, go away."

"Come on, Sonic."

"No."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"No."

A loud rumble could be heard from the interior of the room. "SHUT UP!"

All three of them grinned. Sonic really was a bad liar.

Tails leaned against the door again. "Was that directed at me, or...?"

"No, I..."

Tails nudged Amy. She handed him a bag of chips, struggling to contain her laughter.

Tails crinkled the bag. "Mmm, are you sure you're not hungry?"

"Yes..."

"Okay then, suit yourself." He took a chip out of the bag and munched very loudly on it. "Mmm, these chips are good...I was going to give them to you, but since you're not hungry..." Stifling a laugh, he handed the bag to Amy. "Hey, Amy, do you want some?"

She had to smother her giggle before she responded with, "Sure, Tails! Do you want some, Knuckles? There's plenty to go around..."

Loud munching.

They just about burst out laughing when Sonic finally opened the door.

"FINE. I'll come out, but just for lunch!"

They sat down in the café, Amy and Tails and Knuckles taking trays of things back to the table while Sonic sat moodily in his chair.

Everyone was munching happily on the food, except for Sonic, who was just picking at his sandwich.

Amy picked up the sandwich. "Come on, Sonic. Your stomach even admitted it; you're hungry. You're just being stubborn."

He looked away.

"Come on. Here comes the plane..."

He just pressed his lips even more tightly together.

"Gee, what a wet blanket," Knuckles said, popping a grape into his mouth.

"Shut up," Sonic mumbled, glaring at the empty plate.

"What was that? I didn't hear you. Speak up!"

Sonic refocused his glare onto Knuckles. "I TOLD YOU, SHUT-"

Tails seized his opportunity, snatching the sandwich from Amy and shoving it into Sonic's open mouth.

Sonic froze, stunned. He began to chew slowly on the sandwich. It was pretty good.

He quickly finished it and took another. And another. And another. Soon, he was just shoveling them down his throat. He hadn't eaten anything since whatever he'd eaten yesterday at breakfast. That, and tap water.

Everyone burst out laughing.

"Careful, Sonic, don't eat too many! You might throw up!" Amy managed, but it was doubtful that Sonic heard her. She could barely get it out over her laughs.

Suddenly, Sonic stopped eating. He looked up, his face turned green, and he rushed to the side of the deck, clutching his stomach.

"Sonic?" Tails asked, looking worried.

Sonic's body gave a heave, and then came the sound of puking.

"So much for that warning. That's disgusting," Amy said, while Knuckles fell out of his chair in fits of laughter.

A/N: Please review and tell me what you thought!

bearvalley3365: Thank you!

shippo fox: Yep! Throwing up is mildly funny...although it's no fun if you're the person with the upset stomach.
