Chapter 7
Eggman laid back in his chair and waited. He knew those fools who were on the island would show up any minute demanding their pathetic emerald back….They were not going to defeat him this time…he had a secret weapon. “Those idiots know where this base is surely they do…” he said. He went back to his old base in the pyramid in the desert. Stealing the emerald had been easy. “Lazy,” He said again. “The lot of them…” Eggman laid back as far as he dared in his huge chair. “Lazy…” He muttered again. He drifted off to sleep with dreams of destroying the fools…

Ralda and Rouge were now quiet happy, and very red faced, from the wine. Emerald shook her head. She never could drink. Blaze was busy scrubbing the breakfast dishes and Knuckles was asleep on the couch. “Its amazing,” Emerald thought. “ That he has kept the emerald safe for so long with him being so lazy and all.” She sighed. “So Blaze!” Ralda said dully and very loudly, causing Knuckles to moan loudly. “Why don’t you sit and have a drink?” Blaze ignored her and muttered something about time wasters.
There was twenty minutes of an awkward silence. Then, without warning, Blaze threw the pots into the sink as hard as he could causing a huge ‘clang’. “ That’s it! I am sick of all this!” Ralda blushed. And Emerald knew what she was thinking….. “I am so tired of just sitting here! Knuckles! Do you not know that he has your emerald and can destroy many helpless cities with it? HUH?!” Knuckles was snoring loudly. Blaze lifted him up and threw him off the couch.
“Ok! That’s it! I want you all to shut up now!” Ralda said standing up. Everyone hushed. “Ok, that is a little better. I don’t know what this emerald thing is, and really, I don’t care! I just want you all to go get the stupid thing and get the hell out of my house before I go off on each of you!” Rouge, who was drunk laughed. “HEH…..you said pickle….” Ralda ignored this.
“Sorry about that!” Ralda said blushing. “ I just hate all this noise! I really like the company, but if you guys are going to throw stuff in my house well,….lets just say I don’t tolerate that in any house…..Blaze? you have been kind to me this whole time and I thank you….you have been the sweetest guy in here.”
Blaze blushed and so did Ralda who realized what she had said. “ WHOA! I need a drink!” Blaze sighed. She had certainly had his hopes up. You see, Blaze never had much of a family, and he never really had a mate. He really wished some one cared for him for once in his life. He was very lonely. He muttered to himself quietly and returned to his pans.
Emerald was shocked with them all. She wanted the emerald back, even if it took a lot of effort, she was going to try. She stood up and said loudly: “ You know what? Eggman has stolen or emerald and we really need it back! Knuckles! Tomorrow, do not sleep in! we are going to get it tomorrow and Ralda is coming with us! Ralda had a mouth full of wine and she spat it out in shock. “ HEY! How am I dragged into your little scavenger hunt? I don’t wanna’ go!!!!!!!”
