A Sonic Rapid Board Christmas Tale
by
Brandon Rice (G-Sama)
Sama Says: It’s our second Christmas since a group of misfits from the R/S Shrine got together, resulting in the creation of the Sonic Rapid Board. I’m proud to be a part of SRB, and happy to call you all my friends. Seeing as how it’s hard to give online gifts, and considering my penchant for story-telling, I’m making this Christmas Special for SRB. Why so early? Well, I’m also working on one other story for SRB, which’ll be up closer to Christmas. Until then, I hope you all enjoy this; for you are my big dysfunctional online family. :3 It’s meant to be a comedy, and as such the characterizations and some situations have been exaggerated so as to further the comedic spirit. It’s pure and simple comedy, written to make you laugh.
Don’t take it too seriously. :p
It was late December and the weather showed it around Station Square. The many men and women who came and went were all dressed in heavy coats, scarfs and gloves. Even the children playing in the snow-covered parks were wearing their winter attire; and it was no different for the three not-so-human detectives who strolled down the street.
Vector the Crocodile had upon his head a Santa-Hat and in his arms were two wiggling creatures known as Chao. Appropriately enough, one was green and the other red. Besides Vector and his cuddly-cargo was a small bee who had a red scarf, completely with the Santa-like white fluff tip, wrapped around his neck; Charmy had gotten into the spirit of the season. Even Espio had traded his normal shoes for a pair of boots with red and white trim. These three St. Nick-themed creatures weren’t out for a stroll; they were on business.
“Say Vector,” Espio asked, looking up at his Crocodilian-comrade. “Who paid us to babysit a pair of chao anyway?”
“The Principal of the Chao Kindergarten!” Vector replied with a grin. “And he’s paying us GOOD to watch these two!”
Suddenly Vector let out a loud yell and looked down at his hands; the green chao had just sunken her teeth into his hand and was nibbling furiously at his hide. Espio shook his head, and Charmy began to cackle like a madman, doing small somersaults in the air.
“Did it occur to you the reason a CHAO-CARE FACILITY asked us to WATCH SOME CHAO was because they misbehave?” Espio asked rather bluntly.
“Well, yeah,” Vector sweat-dropped. “B-But I thought they were cute so I couldn’t say no.”
Espio slapped his forehead and Charmy continued to laugh as he buzzed around his partners’ heads.
“The green one looks hungry.” Espio noted. Indeed, the green chao was still nibbling on Vector’s fingers like a small rabbit tearing apart a carrot.
“Yeah, and the red one looks, well, weird.” Charmy said, pointing at the small yellow orb that hovered over the heads of all chao. On this particular red chao, that orb was fuzzy and uneven.
“Is that a chao’s way of having a bad hair day?” Espio inquired.
“Who cares! We’re gonna get paid big bucks to watch these two!” Vector reminded his friends and business partners. “We can afford to get some new magnifying glasses!” Vector seemed as giddy as a child on Christmas morning.
“OR we could pay the rent on the Detective Agency building, considering we’re two months behind and you already have seven magnifying glasses!” Espio reminded the scaley chaotix leader.
“Heeeeeeeey! Look guys! It’s Amy!” Charmy suddenly interrupted, pointing across the street. “And I think that’s Tails and Cosmo with her!”
Sure enough, just across the street from where the Chaotix were walking was a large Christmas-colored shop. Just outside of that shop was a small pink hedgehog in a red dress, wearing an odd hair clip. Behind her was a small orange fox who carried several boxes of a odd flowery-substance and a small plant-girl who was at his side with a innocent smile.
“HEEEEEEEEEEEY! AMYEEEEEE! TAILS!” Vector yelled across the street and the Chaotix started to run forward. Amy, Tails and Cosmo had stopped when they heard Vector’s yell, but traffic prevented the two groups from meeting one another. At least that was the case until a green frog right through the middle of the street, dodging cars like a expert. A minute later, a large purple cat ran behind the frog, knocking several cars over in his hurry.
“Froggy! Wait!” Big screamed as he chased after the Frog who had avoided the cars like a old pro. Big ran by the Chaotix Team without a word, but they used the break in traffic to get across the street to meet up with Amy and her friends.
“Hey Amy! What’s new?” Vector asked.
“I’m having a big Christmas party!” Amy announced. “You guys comes, okay? I want a lot of witnesses!” Amy wrung her hands together like Dr. Eggman did whenever he had a evil plan. Espio noticed.
“What’s up?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Check out my hairclip!” Amy pointed at the red clip in her hair; a popsicle stick was taped to the front, and a clove of mistletoe was tied to the end of it. “See? Wherever I go, I’m under the mistletoe! All I have to do is stand next to Sonic at the party!” Amy explained her plan, and the true motivation behind the party.
“Ooooh, sneaky!” Charmy grinned.
“Amy, can we go, this box is really heavy.” Tails muttered from behind her. As the Chaotix turned to him, Vector made a (rather obvious) deduction.
“That whole box is full of mistletoe!” Vector pointed out.
“Naw, only half of it’s mistletoe,” Amy corrected him. “But I wanted to have plenty of back-up hanging from the ceiling . . . just in case.”
“Sounds like it’ll be fun.” Charmy grinned.
“I wonder if Sonic would agree?” Espio mused to himself.
“Of course Sonic would agree! He gets the best present of all: ME!” Amy grinned and closed her eyes, getting lost in a daydream.
“Amy, Amy, I think Tails might be losing his grip on the box.” Cosmo interrupted, bringing the hedgehog girl back to reality. Amy looked a bit annoyed that her dream was so abruptly ended, but she finally just sighed and grabbed the box herself, easily hoisting it above her head. (Hammer-wielding builds muscles.)
“Thanks Amy!” Tails said relieved.
“Anyway, you guys, are you coming?” Amy turned back to Vector, Charmy and Espio.
“I dunno, we gotta watch these chao.” Vector said, looking down at the red chao with the fuzzy head-orb and the green chao who was sitting trying to consume his fingers.
“Bring ‘em!” Amy nodded her head.
“Okay! We’ll be there!” Vector grinned; unaware of what he’d just gotten himself into.
“GREAT! And since you’re coming, you won’t mind stopping off on your way and picking up Knuckles, would you?” Amy asked in an ever-so-sweet voice.
“Angel Island isn’t on our way, it’s an incredibly long way OUT of our way.” Espio noted.
“KNUCKLES!” Charmy grinned wildly. “We haven’t seen him in ages!”
“Yeah, he never invites us over anymore.” Vector nodded.
“That could be because the last time we were at the Shrine you broke the Emerald and crashed his island into the middle of Pumpkin Hill.” Espio reminded his companions.
“Naw, ol’ Knux isn’t one to hold a grudge.” Vector shook his head; prompting Amy and Tails to shoot skeptic looks at once another, and Espio to shrug his shoulders.
“Sure, we’ll pick up Knuckles for ya!” Vector seemed oblivious.
“Thanks!” Amy grinned. “We gotta go hang decorations now, but be at my place by eight!”
Vector nodded his head and he turned towards the train station. Charmy followed, humming ‘Jingle Bells’ to himself happily, and Espio followed them, wondering if this would be the extent of the trouble they got into for today – his gut told him no.
“Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! I’ve got a brilliant plan this time!” Doctor Eggman cackled like a madman and wrung his hands together. He was standing in the main hall inside the Egg Carrier, and a few feet away from him was a Rouge the Bat, who looked to be more interested in a card in her hands than anything coming out of Eggman’s mouth.
“You see Rouge, all we have to do is go through the painstakingly long task of collecting all Seven Chaos Emeralds, undoubtably encountering Sonic along the way and tipping him off to my plans. THEN we have to trick that Echidna into thinking Sonic is after his Emerald, but in the meantime we’ll have Shadow raid a GUN base and –”
“Aside from the fact I work for GUN and that we’ve done all of those things MANY times before,” Rouge looked up from her card, quite annoyed at the criminal genius beside her. “I already have plans for Christmas, so can your lame plan wait for New Years?”
“What plans?” Eggman seemed to ignore almost everything she said.
“I got invited to Amy Rose’s Christmas Party.” Rouge held up the card, which was in Amy’s neat-and-cute handwriting, and shrugged. “It’s a lot better than hanging out with you and Depressy McHedgehog for the Holidays.”
“I can’t help being depressed, Christmas was Maria’s favorite holiday.” On the other side of the room, Shadow the Hedgehog was laying on his side, playing with four chao who lived in Eggman’s Garden. One Chao was blue, but oddly enough his head was covered in a black bowl that he’d cut eye-holes in and turned into a mask. Another was a black chao with red streaks that looked a great deal like Shadow himself. The third chao was the basic blue look, except he carried with him a large spork, and the fourth had a pair of orange sunglasses on his face.
“What are you doing, Shadow? Now is no time for playing with adorable animals!” Eggman growled. “I’m going over my plans for world domination!”
“Maria liked Chao. Christmas reminds me of Maria. Shut up or I’ll Chaos Control your heart out of your chest and shove it back in; and I don’t mean through your mouth.” Shadow warned with his eyes narrowed.
“Moody!” Eggman crossed his arms.
“See what I mean? Knucklehead and Pinky the Hedgehog are better than you two.” Rouge shook her head.
“Fine!” Eggman announced, a new idea clearly forming on his face. “I’ll attend this party with you and destroy Sonic there!” Eggman attempted to grab at the invitation Rouge was holding, but she jerked it away.
“Sorry Doc,” Rouge made sure the invitation was far from Eggman’s grasp. “I’m allowed to bring a date, but A) You’re not even in the same universe as my type, and B) I’d rather . . . be available at the party.” Rouge said the last part of her sentence with some discomfort in her voice; her thoughts were clearly on someone else.
“BAH!” Eggman looked peeved. “Then how am I supposed to go?”
“Shadow got an invite,” Rouge grinned like a felon. “You can be his date.”
“WHAT?” Shadow looked like someone had just shoved a ring up his nose. “Forget it! I’m not going, and definitely not as Eggman’s date!”
“Silence! Are you forgetting that I am Maria’s cousin!” Eggman batted his eyelashes.
“Are you forgetting that I can warp you into outer space and leave you there?” Shadow growled.
High above the wintery sky there is an floating island where it’s always springtime and sunny. In the center of this splendid island lies an ancient, partially-crumbled shrine; in the center of which is the largest and most splendid Emerald anyone had ever seen. Sleeping on the top of this gigantic jewel was a red echidna.
Suddenly, across the way from the Shrine, the Chaotix Detectives came across a bridge to the small platform suspended in mid-air where the Master Emerald sat. Vector, Charmy and Espio had been here before; and the last time wasn’t exactly smooth sailing.
“HEY KNUCKLES!” Vector yelled as loudly as he could and in a flash Knuckles jumped right up, lost his footing on the corner of the Emerald and fell to the ground. Espio winced; he knew this wasn’t exactly a great start at making up for their previous visit.
“What the – oh, it’s you guys.” Knuckles was on his feet and he looked as angry as Espio predicted he would be. “What do you guys want?”
“Amy wants us to invite you to her party.” Vector nodded furiously.
“It’ll be fun! There’s mistletoe and a turkey dinner!” Charmy chimed in happily. Knuckles raised one of his red brows, and his arms crossed in front of his chest.
“Yeah . . . I’m gonna pass,” Knuckles said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “You know, this time of year crime rates go up, and I know of one overweight scientist who wants my Emerald in my stocking. Not to mention that bat.”
“Pfft, that’s not a big deal!” Vector shook his head. “Just come down to the party!”
Knuckles stared blankly at Vector, wondering if he had heard what he said at all. Vector mistook Knuckles’ stare as a sign that he was admiring the chao.
“Like them? We’re getting paid to babysit.” Vector grinned. Espio and Charmy both looked at him and gasped, and Knuckles scratched his head.
“Babysit . . . what?” Knuckles blinked.
“Huh? Whatcha mean what – AH!” Vector realized that there was no vicious pain from the green chao trying to eat his fingers; upon further inspection both chao were missing from his hands. “AW MAN! We gotta find those chao or we don’t get paid!”
Meanwhile, as Vector was freaking out and rallying the Chaotix Team to search for them; the chao had found the Master Emerald. The red one looked uneasy, but the green one had a sneaky smile on her face.
“Chu!” The red one shook his head and pointed a arm at the emerald. “Chu!”
“Khao!” The green one kicked him in the face, sending the red one falling down. The green chao turned to the Emerald and hugged it. Then, in a cartoon-like unexplainable way, she pulled a straw out of thin air and pressed it against the Emerald.
“Chu?” The red chao tilted his head, confused.
“HEY!” Knuckles seemed to have spotted them and he and the Chaotix made their way over to the chao. Knuckles chuckled a bit. “Well, I guess for once there’s a thief I don’t have to worry about.”
Suddenly the Master Emerald was sucked through the straw and swallowed whole by the green chao. Knuckles’ jaw dropped on his shoes and Espio slapped his forehead, thinking that the Chaotix had just signed their own death warrants.
“HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!?” Knuckles demanded, glaring at the two chao. He reached down and grabbed the green chao, holding her upside down in front of his face. “GIMME BACK MY EMERALD!”
“Kao!” The green chao was screaming and punching at Knuckles; but she couldn’t reach him.
“Chu!” The red chao’s chao orb had become an exclamation point and he grabbed it, flying up and hitting Knuckles in the eye with it.
“Dwah!” Knuckles dropped the green chao and grabbed his face; the green chao landed beside the red chao and they both nodded and started to fly away. Knuckles looked madder than Espio had ever seen him, which made the ninja feel like becoming invisible might be to his benefit. Before he got the chance, however, Knuckles spun around to the Chaotix Team.
“This is ridiculous! You guys catch those chao!” Knuckles yelled. A moment later, there was a violent shake on the island. Knuckles sighed and hung his head. “Oh man, this is gonna suck.”
Angel Island began to fall at a alarming rate. It picked up speed and started to plummet towards Station Square. Ironically and specifically enough it crashed into the ground right behind Amy’s house.
In a flash, Amy ran out of her house and her eyes became as wide as watermelons when she noticed that an island had crashed into her back yard. Vector, Espio, Charmy and Knuckles fell from the crashed island and were now floating in her pool. The green and red chao had fallen too; but they managed to fly into an open window and escape to the safety of Amy’s house.
Instead of freaking out and asking about the continent that had crashed in her backyard, Amy just smiled and hurried over to the fallen four with a smile on her face. “I’m glad you guys made it! You’re a little early, but come on in!”
The chaotix, realizing they had lost the chao, all yelped and went running around to look for it. “Come on team! We have to find those two!” Vector ordered and the three split up to investigate Amy’s home for any sign of the chao.
Knuckles sat up and rubbed his head. He didn’t look very happy about this whole mess, but as he opened his mouth to protest Amy threw a large bundle of mistletoe into his arms.
“Can you fly up and decorate my ceiling with that?” Amy asked sweetly.
“No.” Knuckles refused her flatly. “I have to find the Master Emera–”
Amy put her hands together, shifted her weight onto one foot and struck an adorable pose – complete with a puppy-like face – and batted her eyelashes at Knuckles cutely. “Plllllllllllease.”
“No.” Knuckles seemed completely unmoved. “The Master Emerald is a –“”
Amy grabbed her hammer and held it threateningly above her head, her eyes narrowed and a red-hot aura of flame appearing around her. Her voice was no longer sweet. “HANG THE MISTLETOE!”
Knuckles sweat-dropped. “Y-Yeah, whatever you say Amy.” The red echidna picked up the bundle of mistletoe and ran into Amy’s house to start hanging it. He’d have to resume his search for the Master Emerald a little later.
MEANWHILE, in Green Hill Zone . . .
Sonic was lazing around on a beach chair, his hands crossed behind his head and a pair of shades tucked in place around his eyes. He was spending his holiday on the beach, soaking up some sun. To some people, this would look like relaxation – but Sonic was bored. He liked running and adventures, and he didn’t have one while he was chilling.
Suddenly, it began to grow foggy around Sonic’s beach chair, and the blue hedgehog sat up and flipped his shades onto his forehead. He looked to the left and right, and then he grinned.
“Aw, yeah! Things have been too quiet! Time for an adventure!” Sonic jumped up and took on a stance as he saw a shape floating through the fog towards him. Sonic got ready to dash forward and have some fun when the figure floated through the fog.
It was Metal Sonic.
“Hahahah! I guess Eggman’s up to his usual no-good tricks, huh?” Sonic grinned and stood on the edge of the beach chair. “Sure, I’ll take you on!”
“Hold on Sonic I have not come to defeat you I have come to show you something it is of most importance that you come with me now and go into the past to change that which must be changed for that is how things must be.” Metal Sonic was speaking in one gigantic sentence.
“ . . . Yeah, I don’t think so. I’m not a big time travel fan. Sonic CD was all about that and the whole friggin’ system failed . . . then again, I guess I don’t have to tell you about that, huh?” Sonic rubbed his neck.
“You do not understand I am no mere robot I am actually the ghost of Christmas past come to get you to change the past so that the future will be bright and not destroyed.” Metal Sonic introduced the familiar cliche.
“Oh NO!” Sonic smacked his forehead with a hand. “No way! I’m not getting involved in this!”
Metal Sonic grabbed onto Sonic’s hand and began shaking it. “We must go away into the past and then we must do as is required to ensure that things work out the way they should.”
Sonic blinked, and Metal Sonic continued to shake his hand. He was still shaking his hand. He didn’t stop, and Sonic sweat dropped and started to try to pull his hand away, but Metal Sonic’s grip was too strong.
“You think you can let go?” Sonic asked bluntly.
“Negative it is a programing error that has me speaking in this manor it is also this error that prevents my hand from stopping from shaking your hand for another five point three minutes.” Metal Sonic explained.
“Jeez . . . Alright then, let’s get this over with.” Sonic rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand. The smog swirled around them and suddenly the two had vanished and were transported to a new location. They had traveled not just through time, but to a whole new kingdom.
Now Sonic and his Metal Doppleganger were standing beneath a large platform made of red steel beams. It looked vaguely like a construction site, except the beams were slanted on their sides. Sonic scratched his head.
“I don’t think this is my past, pal.” He told Metal Sonic. Suddenly he heard a whirling sound and a minute later a barrel landed next to them and shattered. Sonic darted around to see a gigantic monkey standing at the top of the platform. Next to him was a tied-up woman and a stack of barrels. Sonic sweat dropped. “You GOTTA be kidding me!”
The unnamed-for-reasons monkey threw a large barrel at Sonic, but Sonic was too fast. Despite the fact he was being held onto by Metal Sonic, the original Sonic ran and jumped his way up the fallen beams and dodged the barrels like an expert. Metal Sonic’s programming error prevented him from running well and he was hit by most of the barrels; but they just shattered on his metal body.
Sonic jumped up and spotted a hammer. He grabbed it and smacked the monkey with the hammer, and then he tossed it aside. The monkey fell off the construction site and landed in the jungle, and Sonic wiped some sweat from his head. Just as he was about to say something to the metal copy holding onto him, the girl who had been held captive wrapped her arms around him and started kissing his cheek.
“Hey, hey, hey, knock it off lady!” Sonic pushed her away with his free hand.
“HEY! What are you-a doing?” A short man with a thick mustache and a pair of blue overalls and a red hat had just arrived on the scene. “Pauline, I can’t-a believe you would-a cheat on-a me!”
Sonic slapped his forehead. The mustached man approached Sonic and pulled up his sleeves.
“You-a gonna get-a beat!” Mustache said loudly.
“Hang on buddy! I’m not even supposed to be here!” Sonic shook his head.
“You-a mess with-a my girl, you-a gonna get-a hurt!” Mustache cracked his fists and ran at Sonic, but Sonic used his superior speed to jump up and land on Mustache’s head, knocking him down.
“Oww!” Mustache grabbed his head, but then a suddenly look of idea spread across his face. “Wait-a minute! Jumpin’ on-a people’s heads is painful! And it’s-a lot easier than climbing a construction site and dodging barrels! Thanks-a pal, I’m-a gonna go take-a that job rescuin’ the princess! Let’s-a be friends!”
Without properly introducing himself, Mustache shook Sonic’s free hand and then he ran off into the sunset. Pauline mysteriously vanished and was never seen or heard from again.
Sonic shook his head and looked at Metal Sonic. “This was, uh, fun and all . . . I guess . . . but can I go back to the present now?”
“Yes you can return to the presents but be known that others will come for you and you will have to go with them to do as they must do along as you have done with me for that is the way that the cookie crumbles and that’s the way ah huh ah huh I like it and so it was that the ring was cast into the fires of mount doom and all the children like sunshine and my teacher Mr. Benac liked penguins a little too much and then I went hunting with the vice president and indeed there was a great river of cheese that lay before the young one but the house was actually alive and a monster and so it was that the winner was the samurai with the slowest horse after all for the turtle did beat the hare but the Egg was brown and I see dead people.”
Metal Sonic, after speaking incoherently for a few minutes, began to shake and then his head fell off. Sonic shrugged, but as his hand was finally free of his robot self’s grip, he was happier. Then the smog whirled again and Sonic found himself back on the beach by Green Hill Zone.
“Eggman might have been hitting the Egg Nog a little too hard when he rebuilt that guy.” Sonic sweat dropped.
Back at Amy’s house, Knuckles and Tails had both somehow found themselves with the job of decorating the place. Knuckles was passing large amounts of mistletoe to Tails, who was flying around and hanging it from the ceiling.
The small chao who Vector had been babysitting had found their way into Amy’s chao garden. In this chao garden was a small purple chao and a pink chao. The green chao instantly flew over and began eating fruit from off the trees; while the red chao played ball with the pink chao.
Vector, Charmy and Espio did not realize the chao were in the house. Instead, they were hunting around outside. Vector rubbed his chin and looked thoughtful. “Hmm . . . If I was a chao, where would I be?”
“The chao garden?” Espio wisely suggested.
“Twinkle Park!” Charmy yelled. He had been asking to go to Twinkle Park all week, so it was no surprise he brought that up.
Inside the house, Knuckles had finally finished with the mistletoe when he was suddenly pushed back. Knuckles turned to see none other than Rouge, with that mischievous glint in her eyes.
“Hey handsome,” Rouge smirked. “I’ve got a Christmas present for you that I think you’ll like.” She ran a hand across his cheek, and Knuckles’ face turned as red as the rest of him. “Of course, first you should give me my present, huh?”
Knuckles gulped. “I-I didn’t get you a present . . . I guess the only thing I have that you’d like is – FORGET IT WOMAN, YOU’RE NOT GETTING MY EMERALD!” Knuckles pushed her away.
Rouge shrugged. “Can’t blame a girl for tryin’.”
Sonic had finally reached Station Square. He didn’t want to go to Amy’s party – he knew Amy would be following him like a lost puppy if he went. However, it was Christmas, and all his buds would be there. So Sonic was going there anyway.
At least, he was, until he crashed into a giant mountain of purple fur. He blinked and looked up.
“Froggy?” It was Big the Cat.
“Hey Big, haven’t seen Froggy.” Sonic shrugged his shoulders.
“Doesn’t matter old chap, I’m not just Big the Cat I’m also the Ghost of Christmas Present.” Big suddenly started speaking in an English accent, and Sonic’s jaw dropped. “Now I say old bean, let’s get going and look at your present.”
Sonic shook his head. “No way! I just did this and it was horrible!” Sonic dashed off, trying to escape, but Big threw his fishing hook and caught Sonic’s leg, knocking him down. Big reeled Sonic back in and held him up like a fish on display.
“Now mate, let’s get going down to see if what you did in the past fixed anything.” Big adjusted the monocle that had suddenly appeared.
Sonic groaned. “This just keeps getting stupider!”
Big and Sonic vanished in a portal of swirling smoke and appeared in a large castle with a mushroom on top.
Sonic slapped his forehead. “Seriously, ghosts, this is NOT right!”
Sonic was shoved through an open window, and he landed on the ground. He saw a large throne, where a beautiful blonde princess was sitting next to a giant, hideous monster turtle.
A few feet away, Mr. Mustache was looking at the princess and the turtle with shock.
“Oh come-a on! You-a honestly gonna choose-a him over-a me?” Mustache asked.
“For the last time, I wasn’t KIDNAPPED. We’re in love, get it through your head you stupid plumber!” The princess yelled.
“Yeah, Beat it chubby.” The turtle growled.
Mustache began to shake, and then he noticed Sonic. He blinked and remembered how Sonic defeated him, so he ran towards the turtle, jumped up and landed on his head.
The turtle blinked. “I’m a friggin’ dragon! Jumpin’ on my head doesn’t do nothin’.” He grabbed Mustache, tossed him in his mouth, and swallowed him whole.
Sonic’s jaw dropped. “Somehow I don’t think this is right.”
The turtle burped. The blonde princess hugged him. Big shrugged. “Well, that was unexpected old boy. Let’s go back to Station Square, hmmm?”
Sonic blinked. “Somebody is definitely drinking too much egg nog.”
Back at the party, some new guests had arrived, and things had gotten a bit . . . crazy.
“Chaos, stop it!” Tikal yelled at the giant water monster, who had just swallowed the Christmas Tree. Chaos put it back and muttered, crossing his liquidy arms.
Across the room was a White Hedgehog standing next to a Purple Cat. They were talking to Shadow.
“So . . . you guys are from?” Shadow asked, raising an eyebrow.
“An alternate reality,” Blaze nodded.
“The future.” Silver shook his head.
“An alternate reality.” Blaze said, a bit louder than before.
“The FUTURE.” Silver snapped back.
“Alternate Reality!” Blaze yelled.
“THE FUTURE!” Silver yelled as loudly as he could.
“ALTERNATE REALITY!” Blaze growled.
Shadow shook his head. “I should have just stayed at home.”
Across the room, Eggman was sitting on the couch, his arms crossed, complaining to Tails.
“I would’ve dressed up as Santa and come down the chimney to steal the Chaos Emeralds.” Eggman complained.
“And we would’ve beaten the ever-loving snot out of you.” Tails responded.
“Well I want to dress up as Santa and steal something from someone!” Eggman complained once more.
“Well . . .” A evil smirk crossed Tails’ face. “I have an idea then.” Tails whispered to Eggman, and Eggman grinned and ran out of the room with a smirk on his face, as he ran he stole Vector’s Santa hat.
Vector, meanwhile, had finally found the chao – all of them.
The red and green chao were looking at the black chao and the chao with the helmet.
“Chow!” The helmet chao yelled.
“Choo!” The black chao growled.
“Kao, kao!” The green chao replied.
“Chu?” The red chao rubbed his neck. “Cuu, Choaoaes.”
“OUTTA MY WAY!” Sonic was running through the room. He’d finally arrived, but now he was trying to escape. As he ran, he tripped over the green chao and landed on one side of the room. Amy jumped down from the rafters and grabbed him.
“Sonic! I knew you’d come!” Amy squeezed him tightly.
“Lemme go Ames!” Sonic tried to pull away.
“Nooooooooooooooo!” Amy squeezed even more. “Not until we get a kiss under the mistletoe!”
Sonic struggled and struggled, but he couldn’t escape. Defeated, he sighed and gave Amy a peck on the cheek so quickly it was hardly noticeable. “There, lemme go!”
Amy grinned and shook her head, pointing at the ceiling. “One kiss for each bit of mistletoe!”
Sonic looked up and saw thousands of bits of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. He groaned.
The green chao, who had been tripped on, spit out the Master Emerald. Knuckles grabbed the Emerald from the floor. Rouge was instantly at his side.
“You know there’s enough mistletoe for us too, red.” She grinned at him.
“Your not getting the Emerald.” Knuckles glared.
“Eh, I’ll steal it on New Year’s.” Rouge shrugged. Knuckles blinked, unsure of the meaning, but then she grabbed him and kissed him. Knuckles dropped the Emerald in surprise. He put his arms around her and they shared a deep, romantic kiss.
When it was over, Knuckles looked down to see the green chao sitting where the Master Emerald had been. She looked full. Again.
Far away at a secret scientific laboratory that belonged to a demented scientist who liked destroying things, Eggman was dressed as Santa and standing on the roof. He was about to go down the chimney, when he was shot with several plasma lasers.
Inside the secret scientific laboratory, Nite and Solar were snickering.
“When you’ve got a high-powered plasma laser grid on your roof, you don’t need to hang lights.” Nite grinned. “Now I’ve gotta go be the Ghost of Christmas Future.”
“YOU?” Solar raised an eyebrow.
“Hey, I get to be the scary and intimidating one.” Nite shurgged. “Merry Christmas, Sonic Rapid Board!”
End
:p
Did it make sense? No. Not at all.
In character? Not a bit!
It was pure insanity. I've been eating a lot of Christmas cookies.
The SK&WS Chao was just an added thing. :p
