Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Aha!" Doctor Eggman exclaimed. "There's who I'm looking for! The ideal bait for me to capture and get Sonic's attention!"

The evil scientist was sitting in his Eggpod, which was hovering high above the ground. He had been using it to fly all over the planet. All day, he had been in search for someone to kidnap. He intended to use them as bait to lure Sonic into a trap. Nothing got the blue hedgehog's attention better than a person who was in trouble.

Having spotted a certain friend of Sonic's down below, Eggman had set his sights on them. His observed them from his Eggpod, smirking in all his evil nature when he took in who it was.

It was Cream.

The young rabbit was happily eating an ice cream, admiring the colourful flowers on the grass she was sitting upon, oblivious to the sinister tyrant watching her.

Flying around the small bunny's furry head was her ever present Chao companion. Cheese was chirping happily, evilly unaware of Eggman's presence.

The wicked madman rubbed his hands together ambitiously. He would have no trouble taking Cream captive to use as bait for Sonic. The last time he'd attempted to kidnap one of his enemy's friends, he'd tried snatch Tails, only to be attacked by the ingenious fox's latest invention. The time before that, he'd tried to abduct Amy - and had ended up with a sore head from getting bonked by the hot-tempered hedgehog's giant hammer.

Eggman sneered. He was confident Cream wouldn't give any trouble. The kind-hearted rabbit was too soft and gentle to cause him any harm. Kidnapping her would be as easy as pie - and just to go the extra evil mile, he'd take Cheese hostage along with her.

"I'll get you my pretty…" Eggman murmured. "And your little Chao too!"

A claw mounted on a robotic arm emerged from the front of the Eggpod. It snapped open and shut, practice what it was going to the young bunny below.

Eggman flew his pod down towards Cream. He descended it to where she was sitting happily on the grass. He stretched the robotic arm on the front in her direction. The claw opened wide, preparing to clamp shut on the innocent rabbit and take her into the clutches of the mad scientist about to kidnap her.

That was when Cream suddenly turned around and spotted Eggman. At once, she jumped quickly to her feet. A fierce look was on her furry face as she drew her arm back - before throwing her ice cream up towards the Eggpod approaching her.

"Take this, Mister Doctor Eggman!" she squealed.

The ice cream hurled through the air - before splattering straight into Eggman's face. He let out a cry from the surprise attack - as well as how cold it was. His glasses were completely covered from the treat, so he couldn't see where he was going.

"ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!"

Eggman let out a terrified cry as his pod went out of control. It spun through the air as it fell downwards - before crashing into a nearby tree.

SMASH!

Eggman groaned. His ice cream-covered face was up against the bark of the tree. He was extremely hurt from ploughing headfirst into its trunk. Thick black smoke billowed from his Eggpod, which was no longer in any condition to fly.

Eggman pulled himself away from the tree. He grunted wiped the ice cream away from his face. Through the cracked lenses of his glasses, he saw Cheese hovering right in front of him. The little Chao chirped angrily before raising a tiny hand - to punch the doctor on the nose.

"OUCH!"

Eggman clutched his nose. It was extra sore now from being struck by a Chao as well as hitting a tree. It throbbed as Eggman rubbed it with his gloved hand. The mad scientist had never felt so injured or humiliated.

"Serves you right, Mr Doctor Eggman

Eggman blinked to see Cream March up to him. She stood alongside where cheese was hovering with a deep glare on her face. It was such a rare sight to see the adorable bunny looking so angry.

"That's what you get for trying to capture me!" Cream told him. "It's not polite to kidnap people, you know!"

"Chao! Chao!" Cheese chirped in agreement, equally annoyed with Eggman's attempts to abduct them.

"Goodbye!" Cream curtsied politely before turning to leave. "Oh, and you owe me an ice cream, too!"

Eggman watched from his wrecked pod as Cream and Cheese walked away. He couldn't believe his attempts to take them captive had failed. The young rabbit and her small friend had really come a long way from being so vulnerable and helpless. He wondered if Sonic must've taught them how to defend themselves. He couldn't let word get out that he'd been beaten by the smallest and youngest of the blue hedgehog's friends. His reputation as an evil genius would otherwise be in ruins.

An irked grunt escaped Eggman. It was moments like this after his evil plans had been ruined when he would voice how he hated that hedgehog. Since Sonic had not been involved on this foiled scheme of his, however, he would have to voice his distain for those who were around to wreck it.

"I HATE THAT RABBIT! I HATE THAT CHAO!" Eggman paused, wiping away more of the cold treat that was splattered all over his face. "AND I ESPECIALLY HATE ICE CREAM!"
