Hello loyal reviewers… And other… Welcome to pt. 3 of this wonderful idea. I have no idea who gave it to me, but metaphorical cookies to them. And
Everyone stared at Shadow but Sonic. The tale had obviously been from his past. Jet was visibly quaking. Wave was seated with her knees brought up to her face and her hands wrapped around them. Storm was asleep. The forest decided to be mean, and blew a cool air through the tent. It whistled about, and began to make a sound. Jet shrieked and flew over to the massive albatross, hiding behind the bulk of his body. Wave had flinched, but was a bit more mature than her leader.
"Okay, who's next?"
Nobody felt like telling scary stories then. Jet fell asleep next to the albatross, and Wave fell asleep clutching her wrench. Sonic was smirking as he watched Silver levitate himself up to the top of the tent to sleep. The ultimate life form had fallen asleep sitting up, obviously depleted from the memory. Sonic stood up after he was sure everyone was asleep. He stepped out the tent, glanced backwards, and then climbed up a tree. The thick branch accommodated him well, and he slept there.
Morning came with Flickies chirping their happy song to all those who were willing to listen. The dew fell from Sonic's prone body. Unknown to the happy campers, Big the Fat was one of the sole inhabitants of the forest. He had been chasing Froggy about again, when he came across a flower. On the flower was a butterfly. The butterfly knew exactly what would happen if the massive cat caught her, so she fled in a small flurry of pollen.
"Wait little butterfly! Let me catch you!"
Shadow awoke to the rumbling of the earth. Unbeknownst to him, Big had tripped over a tree root, and the resulting quake had shaken the foundation of the tent. It fell in a massive heap of wood and leaves. Silver was knocked from the sky, plummeting next to a huge wooden spar. He grabbed it and levitated it, then flipped upside down, providing an umbrella of sorts. The wooden spar protected him from all the other falling things. Shadow launched a small flurry of Chaos lances, incinerating anything that would've fallen on him. Storm gathered Jet and Wave under him, and then took the brunt of over 50 pounds of wood. When he couldn't hear anymore crashing, he looked up to see the canopy. The almighty crash that had sounded hadn't woken up Sonic, though. Shadow looked around for the hedgehog, Silver sifted through the wood, and Storm and Wave began digging through. Jet just sat there, his outlook on his team changing completely.
After 30 minutes of looking, everyone stopped. Shadow had finally given up. Silver was on his knees, unable to believe that the once cheerful hedgehog was gone.
"I can hear him now… Singing the theme song to that ridiculous 4kids show…"
Sonic had indeed awoken, but no one even knew he had left the tent. He was singing as he walked into camp. Everybeast blanched. Silver spluttered out:
"GHOST!"
Even in the dire circumstances, Jet couldn't help it. "Who ya gonna call?"
Sonic stopped and looked around.
"Where? Where's the ghost?"
No one heard him, and to them it looked like the hedgehog was doing a crazy spirit dance.
"RUN!"
Sonic smiled. If it was tag they wanted, it was tag they got!
