Chapter Text
Sonic and Amy sat on her couch, idly watching their egg-bees talk to each other.
Sonic checked his watch and groaned. "I knew I should've picked up the pizza."
"So why didn't you?" Amy asked.
"I'm too tired to go out." Sonic replied. "My egg-bee woke up in the middle of the night and started singing 'the ants go marching one by one' for three hours, non-stop, until the battery died. I don't know why I replaced the batteries."
"Mine cried all night because she missed your egg-bee." Amy said. "I think she's obsessed with yours."
Sonic snorted. "You're a fine one to-"
Amy gave him a look and reached for her hammer.
"I don't know where I was going with that." Sonic said, holding his hands up defensively. "I'm sleep deprived. I totally agree with you. In no way, shape, or form does it remind me of anyone I know."
The egg-bees started making kissing sounds.
"Aww!" Amy squealed, clasping her hands together. "Isn't that-"
Amy's and Sonic's communicators chimed at the same time.
Sonic checked the notification. "What the-"
"Ten egg-bee babies?!" Amy shrieked.
Sonic chuckled nervously. "At least they're only on the app."
"Do something about your egg-bee." Amy demanded.
"What about yours?" Sonic asked. "It's not all my egg-bee's fault."
Amy seethed and picked up her hammer.
Sonic picked up his egg-bee and got up. "Alright. I'm sorry on his behalf." He said, backing away slowly. He looked through the app. "Maybe you can have them 'fixed'."
"In a kid's app?" Amy asked.
Sonic shrugged. "I didn't even think that was in the app."
Knuckles came back with the pizza and his egg-bee. "Sorry it took so long. My egg-bee had to gossip with Lady walrus's egg-bee."
"For two hours?" Sonic asked. "Is our pizza even warm?"
Amy took the box and opened it. "It's empty."
"I'm sorry." Knuckles said, rubbing the back of his head. "I got bored."
Sonic groaned. "Let's just go to Meh burger."
Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles glared at their egg-bees.
The egg-bees were lined up on the table, singing 'the ants go marching one by one' in unison.
"We should've left them at home." Sonic said, shaking his head. "Why did we take them anyway?"
Amy held up a stack of papers. "It's in the script."
"Right." Sonic replied.
The egg-bees stopped singing and stared at them ominously as their eyes turned cyan.
"I have a feeling this won't go well." Sonic said.
Suddenly, metal tentacles burst out of the egg-bees.
Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles jumped up.
"Keep them busy, I'll call Tails." Sonic said, deleting the app.
Tails pulled a camera, that was about the size of the tip of a pen, out of the egg-bee. "Ah, I can't believe Sticks was right." He said. He crushed the camera. "Then again, I should've. It does look like something Eggman would make."
Tails climbed off the stool and turned to fly away.
The egg-bee hopped off the desk. Metal tentacles burst out of its sides and grabbed Tails by his legs.
Tails' communicator came on.
"I couldn't just let you warn the others, you two tailed squirrel." Dr. Eggman said.
"I disabled my egg-bee." Tails replied. "How'd you- the app. You're using the app to spy on us. Wait. Did you call me a squirrel?"
Sticks walked in. "Hey, Tails, do- I told you! Who's laughing now?"
Tails groaned. "Just help me so we can find Sonic, Amy, and Knuckles."
Sticks threw her boomerang at the egg-bee's tentacles, cutting them off.
Tails slid out of the severed tentacle's grip. He deleted the app and called Sonic as Sticks stomped on the egg-bee.
"Tails, get Sticks and come to Meh burger." Sonic said. "And we don't want to hear an 'I told you so'."
Sticks danced around.
"Sticks is doing a victory dance instead." Tails said flatly.
"Stop that and get down here, Sticks!" Sonic snapped.
The sound of Amy crushing something with her hammer came over the speaker before Tails hung up.
Tails and Sticks raced out of the workshop.
Dr. Eggman showed up at Meh burger in his egg mobile. "Enjoying my greatest creation, Sonic?"
"I wouldn't brag about a furby knock-off, Eggface." Sonic said as Tails and Sticks arrived. "It wasn't enough for you to spy on us with those egg-bees, you had to use an app too?"
"I actually think the app was going too far." Eggman replied. "I didn't think about anyone looking at their phones in the bathroom."
Sonic shuddered. "Ugh."
Amy crushed her egg-bee with her hammer.
Sonic spin dashed several more in the area, including his.
Sticks threw her boomerang and hit one.
Knuckles punched the ground and sent the last few egg-bees flying into the ocean.
Sonic jumped onto the egg mobile. "Alright, now-"
"Remember what I said about the app and the bathroom thing?" Dr. Eggman asked. "Don't you think I've been punished enough?"
Sonic opened his mouth to say something, but thought better of it. "Yeah, you're right." He said finally. He hopped off of the egg mobile. "Go on."
Eggman quickly left in the egg mobile.
Sonic walked back over to his friends.
"I was just thinking about something." Amy said, tapping her chin with her finger. "If Eggman was spying on us through the app and the egg-bee, isn't it possible he could've made it sing that song over and over?"
Sonic thought about it. "That jerk." He muttered. "Let's- wait. Tails, you can fix these, right?"
Tails nodded. "Yeah, why?"
Sonic grinned. "I think Eggman needs a night long concert."
