Chapter 6: `You Drive Me Crazy!'

Eggman felt as if he were about to go insane! Here, there, everywhere! It was almost unbearable. It was annoying to have to deal with a destructive child, but, to him, it was worth it, if he had another chance to get back at that indigo idiot. Perhaps this time he would succeed. He slipped away from reality for a minute, planning how it was going to go.

He could see it now...

There were so many ways he could play it. So many delicious ideas...

~@ the Hospital~

Tails sat on the edge of the bed, fingering the light bandaging around his head and black right eye. He sat there, thinking, drowned in silence. A lone tear slid down his left cheek.

//I'm sorry I wasn't able to help, Shadow...I'm sorry I let you down, Sonic...Amy...// Tails thought, mindlessly staring at the wall in front of him. He was angry with himself. The thirteen-year-old kitsune felt so...Useless...Even though he had already accomplished much in his life, so many good and helpful things...Right now, he felt like nothing.

He just laid back in bed, and stared at the ceiling.

~@ Amy & Sonic's...Apartment~

Sonic and Amy had to live in an apartment together, while the house was being fixed up. They brought whatever they could still use and moved it in there. Luckily, they were bigger apartments, with an upstairs and downstairs. They'd need the room for Shadow.

Sonic picked up the phone, dialing a number. "Hey, Knux, you seen the news?"

-Yeah, I saw it, Sonic. I'm really sorry about that.-

"Well, it's okay, `cause I know we'll get him back! You know, we've won every time, what'd make this time different?"

-Nothing. Nothing except that there's a baby being held hostage. And knowing how Eggman works, he's only doing this to get back at you.-

"…"

-Sonic?-

"That's exactly what I thought. So, uh, would `ja come over so we can stop talking over the phone? You can bring Rouge if you want, too."

-Er..`Kay Sonic.-

"Bye."

-CLICK-

~Back @ Eggman's Base~

Shadow was crying again. Eggman walked over to the crying baby, and he shouted over the wailing.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU ANNOYING LITTLE BALL OF…STUFF?!?!" Eggman yelled as he picked the black and red hedgie off the floor. He smelled something foul, and his eyes suddenly widened. "No! This can't be!" He checked the back of the diaper. "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!!!!!!!"

~Back to the Hospital~

Tails' injuries weren't too bad. He still had the bandaging on his head to cover up the blackened eye he recieved fighting the `bots, but he was okay. He checked out, and headed out the door. As soon as he was outside, he got a phone call.

"Hello?"

-Hey, Tails, are you okay?-

"Hi Sonic. I'm alright, I just got out of the hospital."

-Say, um, could you come over to me and Amy's new apartment? We're going to plan something against Eggman!-

"Sure, Sonic. No prob…" When Tails remembered he didn't know where the apartment WAS. "…Except that you're going to have to give me directions."

-Alrighty! So you're at the hospital, right? So, you first head out straight…-

~Eggman's Base~

Eggman sighed. No more foul smell. He'd somehow found a diaper in his base, and made a robot change Shadow's. [Only sweet insanity knows why Eggman would make a robot that knows how to change diapers…] He began to type on his keyboard rapidly. Shadow looked on with curiosity, wide ruby eyes staring at the screen. Well, whatever he could see of the screen, due to the fact that it was mostly covered up by the big man with the orange moustache.

Eggman stopped typing, and leaned back in his chair. He began to laugh evilly, until his chair toppled over. Luckily, Shadow wasn't sitting right behind him, and wasn't hurt. However, the loud *THUD* that came right after had startled the child.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!!!!!!!!"

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" Eggman struggled to get up, but just couldn't. He wanted to strangle that child to death. All he wanted to do was get back at Sonic using the baby! And, now? He couldn't even get up off the floor! He was like a really bad babysitter!

~Apartment~

Knuckles, Rouge and Tails made it to Sonic and Amy's apartment. Together, they planned a plot against Eggman. Finally, after about an hour and five disagreements later, they came up with a plan that no one would object against.

"Everybody ready?!" Sonic yelled.

"YEAAAHHH!!" Everyone cried out in perfect unison.

They all raced out the door to Eggman's base.

~The Base~

Eggman was running, or rather, trying to run, in a circle, yelling like an insane man. He heard Sonic and his friends burst through the door and he had a look of insane happiness on his face.

"AH! Sonic! You've come to save me from this insanity!" Eggman babbled.

Sonic looked confusedly at the large man before him. "Uh…No…We came here to get back Shadow!"

Eggman shoved Shadow into Sonic's chest. "Here! Take him! I can't stand it any longer! He destroyed my base! Just take him and leave me be!"

Everyone stared at the insane overlander in front of them, babbling some…things incohearently. They took a few steps backwards slowly, then broke out into an all-out run. They were scared for their lives of the insane Eggman. As soon as they were far, far away. And they laughed. Hard. Sonic looked down at the baby in his arms and asked, "Did you drive that bad egg crazy?"

"Meh?"

"Nevermind, then…"

They all headed home.

This. Chapter. SUCKS!! I don't like it. It took me three days [or was it four?] to write this?! *slaps self many times*
