Chapter 6: Sally the Robot Squirrel

The Chapter begins with Doctor Eggman, in his egg shaped flying vehicle with one of his robots following him over a muddy field, holding a struggling Sonic in its claw-like hands, cackling deviously.

Mirabel: *Runs after them with the others* Hey, Seniore Mustachio!

Doctor Eggman: Huh?

Mirabel: Put Sonic down right now!

Doctor Eggman: And forfeit my revenge on that blue rat! Never!

Fires laser beams from his flying vehicle at the group

Mirabel: *Blocks it with a magic shield* Whoa!

Sticks: *Stops to make and throw a mud ball at him* Ah!

Doctor Eggman: Ee hee hee hee—OOH! *Gets hit by the mud ball in the face* MY EYESIGHT!

Taking adventage of the distraction, Knuckles jump on the robot to pry it's claws open, freeing Sonic who falls and lands in the mud. Then Mirabel fires a blast of magic at the robot, not to destroy it, but to place a magical doll shaped like Sonic in place of the real one in the robot's claws. All without Eggman noticing.

Sonic: *Looks at the others* Huh? * Amy shuts him up and whispers in Sonic's ear* Ooooh Hee hee hee!

Mirabel: Hey, Egghead! I bet you'll never Destroy Sonic! Even now that he's trapped and helpless.

Doctor Eggman: I will Destroy him! I will! * flies closer to "Sonic"* prepare to meet your maker Hedgehog. *Fires the lasers at the doll, which on contact exploded in a huge splash of Orange/Red gooey stuff that destroyed the robot and completely covered Eggman and his vehicle in the sticky stuff* Mwah!

Everyone: *Laughs*

Mirabel: Hope you like my home made Guava Jam Egghead! I added extra Sugar, to make it Nice and Thick just for you.

Doctor Eggman: *Whips some of the Jam off his face'' Why you little- *Suddenly his machine is making weird noises and loosing steam, some of the Jam probably got in the circuits and caused some damage. Not wanting to crash here, he flew away as fast as his vehicle could* The hour is yours, but the day shall be mine! Mark my words you brats! MINE

Sonic: What an Egghead. Thanks for getting me out of there guys.

Mirabel: You're welcome, Amigo azul. *She then kneels in the mud and hugs him.*

Sonic: Uh... *He blushes while the others rolled their eyes and smiled, amused at the scene.*

Tails: *Electronic watch bips with a new message* Hugh? *Reads the Message* Hey guys, Princess Bubblegum is throwing another party at the castle, Tonight!

Everyone: *cheered at the news*

Knuckles: Woo Hoo, party time.

Amy: It's been quit some time sense we've gone to one of the Princess parties.

Sonic: And this time, there's no candy zombie army to ruin the fun, let's go guys.

Amy: *Grabs him by the arm* Hold it mister. The Princess invitation is for tonight at 7:00pm, it's 10:40 in the morning, we have plenty of time tell then to get ready, and for all of us to wash out all the mud *Points at the mud on his and her body*.

Sonic: *Looks at himself and the others and chuckles* Got me there Ames. So how about we all head home, get areselves cleaned, have an early lunch and take are time getting ready for PB's party. All in Agreement? Good, then let's go.

But while Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy began to walk towards home, Mirabel transformed into her butterfly form big enough for Sticks to climb on and we're going to fly in the opposite direction.

Tails: *Notices that and stops to turn around'' Heu Mirabel? Sticks? The Tree Fort is that way, where are you going?

The others: *Stops to turns around with a confused look*

Mirabel: Sorry guys, but Sticks asked me to accompagnie her to Tree Trunks house to do a little spring cleaning and removing the rotten apples from some of the trees.

Knuckles: *Looks confused* But there hasn't been anyone living there sense Tree Trunks died, so what's the point?

Sticks: *Glares* The point Knucklehead is that there's no one else to keep her house clean and her Apple fields in good health. Just because she's dead doesn't mean we let it all go to heck. Mira and i will keep it standing, *Hand on her heart* for Tree Trunks.

Mirabel: *Smiles* for Tree Trunks

The Others: *Now Smiling* for Tree Trunks *Then they all burst out laughing*.

Sonic: *Whips away a tear* Ok, you girls have fun at Tree Trunks and we'll all meet up at PB's castle for the party, Ok?

Badger and Butterfly nodded before flying off, and the others resumed their walk home.

COTTON CANDY FOREST, HOURS LATER

Mirabel and Sticks are walking to the Candy Castle through the Cotton Candy Forest, each carrying a basket of goodies to give to Bubblegum as a gift for inviting them to her party: Sticks basket had a freshly made Apple Pie and a few hot cross bunns like Tree Trunks used to make, while Mirabel's had several jars of both her home made Guava Jam, and Apple Jelly.

Sticks: Thanks again for helping me taking care of Tree Trunks home Mira. *Raises her basket* And for helping me bake these.

Mirabel: Ningún problema (No Problem) Sticks. I'm sure Tree Trunks would have appreciated the gesture. And thank you for helping me puree the Guava i needed for my Jam, *Laughs* damn fruit is so hard to mash up.

The 2 girls laugh about it for a bit, then walked in silence for several minutes, in which Sticks had a pensive and worried look on her face before straighting it up and starts talking again.

Sticks: Hey Mira, can i ask you a question? Well, more of a favor really.

Mirabel: Sure Sticks, disparar (Shoot).

Sticks: How would you feel if a decided to move out from the Treefort and into Tree Trunks House?

Mirabel: *Stops in her tracks abrutly, almost dropping her basket* Whaaa, why in Ooo would you do that? Is it because you still blame me about Tree-

Sticks: *Gestures in reassurance* Of course not Mira. It's just that i've been spending so many weeks going there to keep it in good condition, that i figured i might as well live there, at least until i find someone that would agree to take care of it in exchange for a roof over it's head.

Mirabel: *Calms down and chuckles* Oh, well that's a relief. *Then turns away for a moment, pensive about what Sticks just said, then turns back to face Sticks with sad eyes, but a smile on her face* Honestly, i'd feel sad, so would the others, they probably try to talk you out of it, i know i'd want to. *Sigh* But if you think it's the right thing to do, then tomorrow i'll help you pack your things and fly you to Tree Trunks place one last time.

Sticks: *Smiles* Thanks Mira.

Mirabel: *Returns her smile with a snarky air to it* Yeah, yeah, just remember that you're still part of the team, so you better be there when we're off on are next adventure, or else.

Sticks: *Glares playfully* Or else what? You'll attack me with those danty magic sparks of your?

Mirabel's response to that is an evil smirk followed by her right hand sparking with magic. That's when Sticks realized she was screwed and bolted foward while yelling as if an evil monster was on her tail, with Mirabel following behind, firering her sparks at her while laughing evilly.

CANDY CASTLE, MINUTES LATER.

The two girls finally arrived, panting from all that running with Sticks now sporting a nice coat of glitter all over her clothes, arms, legs and the back of her head.

Princess Bubblegum: *Sees them coming and exclaims Joyfully* Mirabel, Sticks, welcome. And Sticks, i love your new look, it's so glittery.

Mirabel: *Tries to hold in her Laughter, but is having a hard time*

Sticks: *Fake Smiles* Jeez, thanks princess *Glares at Mirabel*, you can thank my pale Mira for that.

Princess Bubblegum: *Giggles* Should have known. In any case please come in, the party has just begun.

After shaking off all of that glitter like a Dog, Sticks and Mirabel followed the Princess inside, where pretty much everyone is already in party mode.

Princess Bubblegum: *Leads them to the punch bowl and fills in some glasses* Here you go girls, my famous 6 berries punch, enjoy.

The girls took the punch glasses and gladly took a zip, they were parched from all that running and glitter sparks throwing.

Mirabel: Thanks PB *Extends her goodie basket along Sticks* And here, we come bearing gifts for are host.

Princess Bubblegum: *Takes the Baskets and looks inside* Oh girls, thank you. *Takes out the Pie and Bunns from Sticks Basket and puts them on the table* these will make wonderful editions to the buffet table. But tell me, will the others be joining use soon?

Mirabel & Sticks: Hein?

Mirabel: *Looking around* Sonic and the others aren't here yet?

Princess Bubblegum: Not yet, i assumed you'd be arriving all together like usual, but it seems you've arrived before the others.

Sticks: *Serves herself more punch* Ha, probably Pinky and Blue's fault. You know how vain Hedgehogs can be, always fussing over their quills, especially before a big party.

Mirabel: *Laughs* Yeah, and Knuckles musn't be of any help either. He insists on wearing a nice suit and tie at parties whenever he can, but it takes him at least 15 minutes to button up his shirt, 45 minutes to put on his tie and another 25 minutes to tie up his nice, black sleek shoes.

Sticks: Arrgh, talk about the slowest fashionista in all of Ooo. *Sips more Punch*, well better him then the Blue narcissist hoging the bathroom for hours to wash and comb his quills.

Mirabel: *Drinks some of her punch* Now Sticks be fair, he's only in there 75 to 90 minutes or so pre party. Amy on the other hand is the one that spends hours in the bathroom getting ready pre party. Remember when she spent almost 4 whole hours getting ready for Princess Bubblegum's birthday party 2 years ago...

And that's how the first 20 minutes of the party went for the 2 friends: Drinking Punch, sharing stories of their friend's ''Pre Party Preparations'' with Princess Bubblegum and Laughing about it. Then Suddenly, the crowd seems focused on and gathered around something. Confused and Curious, the 3 females walked towards the gathered crowed.

Mirabel: *Taps Wildberry Princess on the shoulder'' Hey, What's everyone so exited about?

Wildberry Princess: Shh!

Sally: *Rolls LSP all on sides like dough without a rolling pan* Stand back, everyone. This style of massage is called, "Baker's Touch."

Lumpy Space Princess: Oh, my gosh...

Sally: Because like a baker, you rub and roll a person's back like a lump of dough until it is nice and smooth, completely void of stress knots.

Lumpy Space Princess: Oh, holy cow...

Sally: Now take a deep breath and relax, Lumpy Space Princess... YAH! *Karate Chops her back and resumes rolling*

Lumpy Space Princess: Oh! I feel so great!

Mirabel: Who is that girl?

Princess Bubblegum: I don't know. A newcomer in a fair Kingdom no doubt.

Sticks: *Looks suspiciously at her and drinks more punch*

Suddenly, the Doors of the main hall opened, revealing Sonic, Amy, Tails and Knuckles finally arriving, and looking pretty good in there party attires.

Sonic: What's up Party-Goers. Everyone ready to kick it up a notch or two.

Everyone: YAAAH!

Mirabel: Guys! *Walks to her arriving friends while Sally stares at Sonic and felt her eyes widen while her heart beat hard in her chest.* Bout time you arriv-

Lumpy Space Princess:
*Cutting* in Oh, my gosh! You Guys, ya gotta check out this super Sweet gale You're gonna love 'her, especially you Sonic. *They follow LSP, leaving Mirabel behind.*

Mirabel: Uhhh, rude much LSP...

Lumpy Space Princess: *Ignores Mirabel's comment* This is... Oh. Oh, my gosh. I don't even know your name.

Sally: Sally. Sally Acorn, and as you can probably tell, i'm new in town. Moved in from the Peanut Kingdom to a small house not far from here and i've heard that there was a party happening, thought i'd do some light crashing, Introduce myself, meet new people... You know, new neighbhours stuff.

Sonic: Cool! Well welcome to the Candy Kingdom Sally, name's Sonic the Hedgehog *Extends his hand to shake*

Sally: *Gasp* Not THEE Sonic the Hedgehog, the fastest thing in all of Ooo *Takes his hand and shakes it*

Sonic: The one and only *Points at his friends* And this is Knuckles, Tails and Amy.

Amy: A pleasure

Knuckles: *Waves* Sup

Tails: Hi

Sonic: Over at the buffet table is Sticks

Sticks: *Just waves at them as she drinks her punch. And secretly gives the Squirrel another suspicious glare, more intense this time*

Sonic: And last, but most definitively not least, are fearless leader *Extends his hands to show*, Mirabel Madrigal.

Sally: *Gasp again and quickly walks to her* You mean THEE Mirabel Madrigal, ''La bruja mariposa''!? the one they say is the greatest wizard in all of Ooo.

Mirabel: *Blushes with a small smile* Well, i wouldn't say THE Greatest. Maybe one of the greate-

Sally: *Grasp her hand and shakes it* Allow me to shake your hand ma'am. To think i would meet Ooo's greatest heroes on my first day in your kingdom. *Squeals* what an honor.

Mirabel: *Looks Uncomfortable* Whyyy, thanks Sally, always a pleasure to meet a fan. *Forcefully removes her hand from hers and summons a startled PB by her side* Say Sally, have you met the Kingdom's ruler and host to this awesome party, Princess Bubblegum?

Sally: *Smiles and Bows* A pleasure and an honor, your majesty.

Princess Bubblegum: *Smiles* The pleasure is all mine miss Acorn, welcome to the Candy Kingdom. *Sees that everyone has their attention on them* Everyone, let us all wish a big welcome to miss Acorn.

Everyone except Mirabel and Sticks, let out a big cheer and waved their hands all together in a welcome gesture towards the Anthro Squirrel, who gladly soaked in the cheers and warm welcomes, especially those of Sonic. Suddenly, the party music started again and everyone resumed dancing.

Sally: *Turns to Sonic* Want to get to know each other better on the Dance Floor blue?

Mirabel Frowns at Sally calling Sonic blue, SHE is the only one that can call him that, or any other kind of pet name for that matter.

Sonic: Sure * Began walking to the dance floor with Sally, but then turns to Mirabel* You coming with us Mira?

Mirabel: Heuuuh, not yet Azul, Princess Bubblegum and i first have to finish are important conversation about Zanoits *Begins walking away*.

Princess Bubblegum: But wee weren't- *Yanked away by the arm by Mirabel, cutting off her sentence*

Mirabel: See you as soon as we're done.

Sonic and Sally looked confused at this, but after a second they just shrugged walked towards the dance floor with the others.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE PUNCH BOWL

Princess Bubblegum: *Pulls her arm out of Mirabel's forceful hand* What the Cabbage Mira? I thought you hate Science Talk.

Mirabel: As much as Sticks hates magic, but that's not why i dragged you here. *Whispers to PB* There is something off about that Acorn girl.

Princess Bubblegum: Hein? What do you mean off?

Mirabel: Well first is her story of where she came from. I go to the Peanut kingdom every 2 weeks to buy are peanut produce, and i never seen her anywhere, not once.

Princess Bubblegum: The Peanut Kingdom is a very large place Mirabel, and who knows when she does her own shopping, your paths probably just never had a chance to cross.

Mirabel: Then there's her over enthusiasm at meeting the gang, she seemed to know quit a bit about us.

Princess Bubblegum: No more then what anyone else knows. There's nothing faster than Sonic anywhere on Ooo, and you can perform feats of magic that would take wizards at least twice your age years to master. They might as well call you the greatest wizard in all of Ooo *Smiles* its what i believe you are.

Mirabel: *Smiles* Awe thanks Princess. *Glares* But don't change the topic with flattery, there's more. When Sally took my hand in hers, not only did they feel cold as ice, but it sent a bad shiver through my body, the kind that always told me someone or something is not what it seems and that there's a trap waiting to be sprung the moment are guard is down.

Sticks: Maybe that Sally girl is some kind of magic construct in disguise sent by Ice King, sure would explain why her hands are so cold.

Mirabel: *Looks thoughtful* Maybe but i doubt it, she's to well made and coherent, the exact opposite of what Ice King's creation are usually like, and she doesn't melt at the room's temperature. Quit possible we could be facing a whole new villain.

Princess Bubblegum: *Both amused and exasperated* It is also quit possible that Sticks usual paranoia has finally rubbed off on you...

Sticks: It be about time if that's what it is.

Princess Bubblegum: *Rolls her eyes at the badger, then noticed something and Smirks* ...Or perhaps jealousy is driving your imagination wild.

Both Mirabel and Sticks: Hein?

Mirabel: What are you talking about Princess?

Sticks: Mira's right, what does jealously have to do with what we've been talking about?

Princess Bubblegum simply pointed at the dance floor, where Sonic, the gang and new commer Sally were all dancing close to each other, in Sonic and Sally's cases perhaps a little bit to close. The sight caused Mirabel's eyes to widen for a second, then scowls, displeased by what she is seeing, this new girl dancing so close to her best friend, the nerve of that nut eating harlot. Then her face returned to a neutral state and she turned back to a still smirking PB.

Mirabel: Smirk all you want Princess, but jealousy isn't and will never be in my pallet of emotional response. That said, i am getting rather worried at how close that Sally girl is to him.

Princess Bubblegum: *Still smirking* You sure? Looks more like jealousy than anything else.

Mirabel: I'm NOT jealous, i'm WORRIED. Here *Uses magic to conjure up a large dictionary that landed in the princess arms, but it was to heavy and she fell over with a yell* Look it up, you'll see the difference.

She then grabbed Sticks hand and pulls her away from the buffet table to the dance floor. The Badger yulp and wanted to protest, but the whisper of a plan to separate their friend from the squirrel went in her ear, and she simply nodded before they both went to their respective target.

Mirabel: Hola azul, care to dance?

Sonic: *Turns to Mirabel and smiles* I've been wondering when you'd join Mira.

Sally: *Sees Sonic about to move away with Mirabel and grabs his hand* But Sonic, wee haven't finished-

Sticks: *Jumps in front of Sally's face* Hey there, I don't think that wee've met. Name's Sticks, *Extends her hand* nice to meet ya.

Sally: *Shakes Stick's hand without meeting her eyes, to focus on Sonic* Sally Acorn, pleasure, now if you would exc-

Sticks: *Shakes her hand harder* Oh yeah, the new girl in the kingdom, Mira told me a bit about ya. Say, you look pretty thirsty, how about wee go drink so punch and get to know each other better.

Sally: *Smiles Tightly* Thanks, but i'm-

Sticks: *Suddenly pulls her to the buffet table* Partched? Understandable after dancing so much. You must be pretty hungry to, lets grab a slice of my home made apple pie while wee're at it.

Sonic could only look on as his Badger friend dragged a struggling Sally to the buffet table, confuse by the usually distrusting Badger's welcoming attitude towards a stranger.

Sonic: *Looks at Mirabel* Heu Mira? Is that overly friendly girl dragging Sally away really Sticks? If so, did you finally decid to spell her paranoia away?

Mirabel: *Snorts* No spell could ever make her Paranoid Personality go away, or i would have done it years ago. Now come on, let Sticks act friendly to a stranger for once and lets get are feet moving.

And moved their feet they did, for the rest of the Party they've danced, talked and ate while Sticks continued distracting Sally as much as possible, going from the buffet table to all around the room and right to the castle courtyard where the squirrel girl tried to shake her off her tail and come back to Sonic, but that Badger's a clinging one and Mirabel knew it.

Speaking of which, when they all took a break for some food and drinks, Mirabel got to announce to the others of Sticks plans to move into Tree Trunks house for the time being. There were protests, especially from Amy, but Mirabel made it clear that Sticks had to do it in continued memory of the little elephant, and promised it was only until Sticks can sale it to someone good enough to properly take care of the house and apple orchard. So with sad, heavy sighs, they give their silent support and promised they'll help them pack Sticks stuff the next day.

Now the party was over, and little by little the guests left to return to their homes and the comfort of their beds after partying so hard. The gang were the last to leave, but Sticks was not among them.

Mirabel: I'll go find her, you guys head on home and wee'll catch up.

Sonic: *Nods* K, don't take to long *Walks away with the others*

Mirabel: Will Try.

She then returned inside the castle Grand Hall to find Sticks, hopefully still on Sally's tail so she can ask her a few questions, AKA submit her to a thorough interrogation after being properly restrain by a magic rope. She searched the entire Hall but neither were there, so they had to be in the courtyard as she saw Sally try to escape Sticks through the door leading there earlier. A grumbling, angry Sticks was there alright but no trace of a squirrel girl in a blue jacket.

Mirabel: *Sighs and walks towards Sticks* She finally managed to give you the slip, hein?

Sticks: *Looks at Mirabel with a scowl* Like an Eel dipped in grease, swimming in Tails plane lubricant. *Sighs* Sorry Mira.

Mirabel: *Smiles* Its ok Sticks, wee'll catch her next time, let's just go home.

But no sooner did they walk down the grand castle staircase and down into the streets, did Mirabel suddenly stopped and pulled sticks to the side of a candy light post to hide. Sticks tried to ask what's wrong but Mirabel made a ''Shhhhh'' motion and pointed to an alley way entrance where an all to familiar squirrel girl was looking around to see if anyone was fallowing her, when she thought she wasn't being followed, she entered the alley way.

Sticks: *Smirks* looks like you'll getto interrogate her after all Mira, lets get her.

Mirabel: *Pulls Sticks back to her side* Hold on there Sticks, if wee follow her down there she might spot us. No, i have a better idea, *Grabs her arm* hold on to your boomerang Chica we're gaining height.

With a burst of magic, Mirabel levitated herself and Sticks up the roof of a candy house. From there they jumped from roof to roof in Sally's direction, following her close by without being caught.

Mirabel: *Both stopped on a rooftop* Can you see her Sticks?

Sticks: *Squints her eyes* Yeah, looks like she's talking to someone tall and pretty round wearing red and black, but i can't make out his face we're to far away. Wee should get closer.

Mirabel: Don't have to *Conjures up a pair of binoculars and hands them over to Sticks*

Sticks: *Eyes the magically conjured item with disdain without any indication of wanting to take them*

Mirabel: *Rolls her eyes* Just take the damn thing and tell me what's going on with the ardilla diablo (Devil Squirrel) and her accomplice.

Sticks:
*Growls, but takes the binoculars anyway and looks, gasping at wee she sees* Holy Smokes, its Eggman, and looks like he's having a shouting contest with Sally, they both look pissed.

Mirabel: Can you make out what they are saying?

Sticks: Give me a minute *Zooms to Eggman's lips* he's says:Why is that blue rat still alive? You were suppose to lure him away from that party and kill him. *Turns to Sally's lips* and Sally answers: Its all that 4 eyed witch and annoying Badger's fault not mine. *Switch Back to Eggman: I don't want excuses from you, i want that Hedgehog's head served on a platter with a Ratatouille of his friends on the side, do you understand. *Sally Smirks* You can have the Ratatouille if you want, but Sonic is mine, i decided to make him my boyfriend and keep him for myself...

Mirabel: LIKE HELL SHE WELL.

Sticks: *Covers Mirabel's mouth with her hand* Shhhh, they could still hear us from here *Returns to her spying just in time to see Sally punch Eggman in the Stomach before tossing him in the dumpster and running away* Looks like what ever plan Eggman had cooked up, Sally threw it in the dumpster along with him.

Mirabel: *Gets up* Then lets take this opportunity to go ask him what his plan was. *Grabs Stick's arm and levitates off the rooftop*

SCENE CUT, THE DUMPSTER EGGMAN IS LYING IN

Doctor Eggman: *Crawls out of the Dumpster growling* When i get my hands on a that traitorous rodent- *Falls over on his face*

Mirabel: *Stands in front of the mad scientist with Sticks, glaring down at him* You can do with her whatever AFTER you've told us what the heck is your messed up plan this time Egghead.

Doctor Eggman: *Looks up to see the 2 glaring girls, and growls more* Buzz off brats, i have no time to Ans-

Mirabel: *Grabs him by the collar and raises him to her face* MAKE the time Egghead, or so help me i'll turn you into an actual rotten egg and throw you back into that Dumpster, never to get out of it AGAIN, ENTENDER (Understand)?.

Doctor Eggman: *Looked afraid for a second, then returns to his nasty self* Fine. *Flashback begins; Eggman does voice-over, in his laboratory all cleaned up and working on something* Fallowing my last defeat at yours and your little menagerie's hands, i've decided to change tactics. Instead of the standart killing machine, i'd created an anthropomorphic android appealing enough to that blue rat to be lured away to his doom *Sally coming out of the assembly Machine before a smirking Eggman.*, but she turned out to be quit the disappointment. *End Flashback* She couldn't even make him even mildly interested in her.

Sticks: *Frowns with her arms crossed* Well now wee know why the girl's hands are so cold, and why she didn't eat or drink anything at the party.

Mirabel: *Nods, then turns back to Eggman* So what is Sally planning to do now, DIME (Tell Me).

Doctor Eggman: *Flinches at the shouting, but continues* Well against all odds, My android actually fell in love with Sonic, and now she's probably gone to Kidnap him and make him her Boyfriend, while eliminating your other friends in the process. It makes me sick to my stomac to have to ask you this, but you have to stop Sally.

Mirabel & Sticks: *Looks at each other shocked and confused* HEIN?

Mirabel: *Glares at the man* Stop joking around Egghead you eint funny. Why on earth would you ask us to stop your robot from doing exactly what you created it to do?

Doctor Eggman: *Returns the Glare* First off i never joke, girl, as for the why: She failed her mission, deviated from my plan and double-crossed me by throwing me in a dumpster, nobody does that to Doctor Eggman, now enough with the questions and go get her already.

Mirabel: *Throws him on the ground* Fine, come on Sticks *Shifts into a giant butterfly and they flew back to the Tree Fort* Wee gotta save the Others!

She shifted back in human form as soon as they arrived and both entered together...

Sticks: Guys!

Mirabel: Sonic! *Gasps at what she sees*

Sonic: Mira! Sticks!

The others were tied up and gaged on the floor, calling out for help in muffled voices while Sonic was tied up to the living room chair with Sally next to him with a broken bottle in her hand.

Mirabel: What the heck is happening here!?

Sonic: *Struggles in his binds* Wee've just got back when Sally knocked at the door, saying Sticks dropped one of her boomerangs near the buffet table and came to return it. Sticks hasn't return yet, so i invited her in to wait and she attacked us while are backs were turned. *Struggles more* Sorry Mira, guess i should have listen when you said not to trust Sally to much.

Sally: *Brings the bottle closer to Sonic's face* That's enough talk from you, Handsome! *Points the Bottle at Mirabel and Sticks* And you two better back away and leave, or you'll be joining you other friends on the floor to meet Death sooner then you should.

Mirabel: No way, Jose

Mirabel fires a bolt of magic at the hand holding the broken bottle, completely destroying it along with the hand holding it, only sparking wires sticking out of it now remains.

Sally: *Holds her destroyed hand as if in pain, but growls out in anger at Mirabel* I will make Sonic mine, he will be my boyfriend.

Mirabel: Why don't you date someone of your own League?! Like a Toaster?! *Telekinetically throws their toaster at Sally*

Sally: Huh?! *Got the Toaster hard in the face, sending her flying to the nearby wall and scraping away part of her face, revealing metal underneath that spark a bit* Arrrrgh?!

Mirabel: Or a Juice Blender?! *Does the same thing with their blender, who hits Sally hard in the Stomac and scraps off more fake skin and fur* *Levitate Vacuum Cleaner* Or here, try out are Vaccu-

Doctor Eggman: *Stands on top of the ladder of the entrance hole* Stop! She's had enough *Gets out of the hole*

Mirabel: *Drops the Vacuum Cleaner* Eggman. Well that's a surprise, i thought you wanted this piece of Junk destroyed?

Doctor Eggman: *Smirks* She is my own creation, i will decide what to do with her *Walks to the damaged Sally* Now come along girl, you've done enough damage for tonight.

Sally: *Grabs a piece of glass from the broken Blender with her other hand and points at Eggman* You stay away from me el-

Doctor Eggman: *Was faster then the shard in her hand and pressed a button on the side of her neck, deactivating her* There you go *Lifts her up and throws her over his shoulder* I'll be taking my leave now, but mark my words, i will come back to destroy you all another day.

Mirabel: Fine, but next time use your regular killer robots to attack us and keep THAT lock up somewhere she won't see the light of day again.

The evil Doctor simply nodded and quickly left.

AN HOUR LATER

Everyone has been untied and were now enjoying their favorite movie ''Heat Signature'' on a portable TV in the living room, to try and forget what happened earlier. Amy, Knuckles, Tails and Sticks were sitting on the floor while Sonic and Mirabel were sitting on the couch side by side.

Sonic: *Whispers* Thanks again for saving my ass from that psycho, Mira.

Mirabel: *Whispers Back* Don't mention it Azul.

Sticks: *Looks at her couch friends head upside down* And now that Sally's out of the picture, maybe you sure take this experience as a sign that you should tell you're crush how much you like her, *Smirks* hein? Sonic?

Sonic: *Pales yet blushes at the same time with a nervous smile* I have no clue what you're talking Sticks!? A crush? What crush? I don't have a crush on anyone.

Knuckles: *Hears what's going on and turns around to smirk at Sonic* Don't try to dash away from the truth Sonic, Sticks and i may not be the sharpest minds around, but even a complete moron like Ice King can see it, so just admitted.

Sonic: *Glares with a harsh whisper* I'm telling you guys i don't have a crush on any girl.

Suddenly, a harsh ring was heard coming from Tails direction.

Tails: *Turns around to show them all his high tech watch* Sorry bro, but according to my newly integrated lie detector, you totally do.

Sonic: *Growls* Thanks a LOT bro.

Mirabel: Guys, can't wee just enjoy the movie and leave Sonic to handle his personal stuff on his own?

Amy: *Turns around with a glare* I couldn't agree more with Mira. Everyone shut up and return to the movie *Gets out her Piko Piko Hammer* Or else.

Scared of the Pinkettes wrath, everyone return to the movie and shut up. But in Mirabel's mind, curious and jealous thoughts were spiraling together like a tornado, sweeping her focus away from the movie. Who could be that girl Sonic supposedly has a crush on? Does she know her? Sounds like everyone does except her. And if so, would she be good enough for her best friend to date? A small but dark voice deep in her mind says no, that she's the only one good enough for him, after everything they've been through for the last 5 years. But another, much more kind and reasonable voice says that it wouldn't be reasonable to think that, Sonic is free to like and date anyone that he wants and shouldn't try to claim ownership like he's her pet. Besides, she pretty sure he only likes her as his friend, and for her that's more then enough, and her focus returns to the movie with a smile.
