Chapter Thirteen: #452: Still Alive

Chapter Thirteen, yay! And as you know, yesterday was Friday the thirteenth, and… yeah. Weird coincidence, right?

President Bugs Bunny was sitting in his office, watching the Games on his 80" flat screen television that hung on the wall. He was in his leather office chair behind his mahogany desk, when general Porky Pig ran in to the room.

"What's up, doc?" he asked darkly.

"Mr. President I-I-I-"

"Cut to the chase, Porky," the President said. He wondered how Porky had even gotten to be a general in the first place.

"Well, you see, it's abou-bout D-District Three," he explained. "We've found Plasma Agent 452. The one w-we've been searching for." He took out a folder from behind him, revealing evidence of 452 being in the area. "S-She's still alive, sir." He looked at the President. His face was expressionless as he examined the papers. Porky cleared his throat. "Shall I send out a s-search party to find her, sir?"

"No," the President said calmly. "She'll come right to us… eventually." he turned back to his television, the camera focused on Tails.

Porky didn't seem to get the hint. "B-But Bugs!" he exclaimed. "She's destroyed an entire world! Repeatedly attacked the Mushroom Kingdom! If we don't take action now-"

"Quiet!" the President snapped. "I know how strong she is, and I know her weaknesses too. We have to wait for the right moment! Now get out."

"Y-Yes, Mr. President, sir," Porky saluted, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Angel was sitting on the cold water of the pool, frost surrounding the place where she sat. She was crystalizing the rose that Cream had given her in frost, preserving it. She looked up at the sky. It was already nighttime, and the stars shined brightly in the sky.

"What are you doing?" Sonic asked. Angel jumped in fear, unaware that he had been watching her.

She the shrugged casually. "Just freezing stuff," she continued to concentrate on the rose.

"Why?" Sonic asked.

"Why do you care?" she said as she put down the rose. "Speaking of roses… I know you miss Amy." She said deviously.

"Yeah, and I miss Tails more. What's your point?"

"You like Amy," she said teasingly.

"Yeah, as a friend."

"Right," Angel said sarcastically. "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Sparkleton. News Brief. 'Nobody knows if Sonic considers Amy his girlfriend.'" She smirked at him as she quoted the video game.

"That's insane. Nintendo people are crazy," he replied.

"Whatever you say," Angel said. She picked up rose and went back to working on it.

"Where do we go now?" Amy asked Sheldon. It had been a few hours since Penny died, and she couldn't stand the silence. She had to say something. Plus it was getting dark, and she could already tell that Tails was exhausted.

Sheldon looked around. "I suppose we could stop for now. But in the morning we'll keep going."

The three of them stop to make camp. Tails slept with no trouble at all, but Sheldon and Amy stayed sitting around the fire. They knew it was a bad idea to make one, but there were plenty of animals in the woods that could attack them.

Amy stood up. "Did you here that?" she asked Sheldon.

Sheldon listened. He heard something, but it was very faint. It sounded like annoying laughter.

"Do you think it's-"

"District 12," Sheldon said. He started walking toward the laughter.

"Wait where are you, going?!" Amy asked. She couldn't leave Tails by himself.

"It's Spongebob. It's obvious that I'm going to go get a Krabby Patty." He kept walking.

Amy sighed and followed him. A few minutes later, they could see a yellow sponge and a pink starfish sitting around a fire. "Let's gather 'round the campfire and sing our campfire song…" they sang.

Amy signaled Sheldon to come and hide behind a nearby bush. "Ugh, I hate this song," she mumbled. She turned to Sheldon. "Do you have a plan?"

"Yes," Sheldon said. "You go out there, and you use your Piko Piko Hammer, and you smash them."

"And what do you do?" Amy asked.

"Well, I have the most important job of all," Sheldon replied. "I supervise to make sure there's nothing that's going to attack you."

"Really. And what happens if there is something about to attack me?"

"Simple. I'll scream, run away, and act like I never saw anything."

"You're unbelievable," Amy said as she rolled her eyes. "Fine. I'll do it. Just… don't do anything stupid while I'm out there." She took out her Piko Piko Hammer and got ready.

"Well it's highly unlikely that I'd do something stupid." Sheldon said. "In fact, I think stupidity would be your strong suit."

Amy turned around and glared at him. "Are you really going to talk to me like that when I have a giant hammer in my hand and you don't have anything at all?"

Sheldon was silent.

Amy turned back to Spongebob and Patrick. "Here we go," she mumbled. She jumped out from behind the bush and screamed as she ran to the two sea creatures. She smashed them with her hammer until she heard two cannons go off. She fell to her knees in exhaustion. "Did they have any food Sheldon?"

"Nope… just bubble soap."

Amy growled. "This was a total waste of time."

Sheldon started to protest, but he was interrupted by a high pitched scream that came from their camp.

"Tails!" Amy yelled.

And that is Chapter Thirteen! I wanted to put a little focus on what Bugs is doing. More foreshadowing on Angel :) Anyway, please review! Thanks!
