Sonic Boom!

Unlucky Knuckles

"Oh, yeah, who's gonna take it downtown? Knuckles, that's who! Gonna beat poor Sonic the Hurt-Tonic. And the pain is gonna be chronic!" Knuckles announced, his golf club in hand.

"Knuckles, just hit the golf ball already!" Penny said in annoyance.

"Ok, we get it." Sonic said. He flipped a coin in the air.

"Tails!" Knuckles said. He turned to Tails. "Tails, you flip it. Not sure I trust this guy!"

Sonic and Penny groaned a little in annoyance, and Sonic tossed the coin to Tails. "Heads!" Knuckles said as the coin flew up.

The coin landed on Tails's hand, showing tails.

Knuckles growled in annoyance. "Lucky." He snarled at Sonic, who smirked at him.

Sonic tossed the golf ball in the air, and whacked it with his golf club. The ball flew through the air and landed straight in the hole on the mountain, then a sound of a ball rolling through a tube came. It popped out of a hole in the ground, and Penny smacked her forehead when she realized that this was no ordinary golf game.

"Don't give me that look!" Knuckles growled.

He walked over to a nearby golf ball and whacked it with his own club. Knuckles watched as it flew in the air....

.....and a random leaf lightly touched it, causing the ball to move away from the hole.

"One nothing: Sonic!" Tails smiled.

"Oh, come on, you saw the wind blew that, right?" Knuckles pleaded.

Knuckles tried again, and accidentally hit a couple of flying birds.

"WHAT?!" Knuckles cried angrily.

"You gotta factor in bird migration." Sonic smirked.

"Seriously Sonic?" Penny smirked at her best friend. "Let's go for ball 101."

Knuckles growled and tried again. And again. And again.

He missed every time.

Furiously, Knuckles threw his club into the air....

....and it landed in the hole that he kept missing.

Furious, Knuckles let out an angry yell.

.............

Knuckles angrily stomped back and forth angrily on the grass as Amy and Sticks watched. "Knuckles, I can see that you're upset." Amy began.

"Don't try to get me to talk about my feelings." He snapped at her.

"I was actually trying to get you to stop killing my grass." Amy said, motioning with her hand to the footprints that Knuckles left behind.

The red echidna growled angrily. "Sonic the Luck Monkey beat me at Gopher Ball by getting totally lucky!"

"I thought you said you don't want to talk about your feelings." The pink hedgehog said.

"I don't! I just wanna yell!"

"We all get into a stunt now and then," Amy said, trying to calm Knuckles down.

"I'm not in a stunt," Knuckles growled.

"Really?" Amy asked. "How many times have you lost against Sonic this week?"

Knuckles began to count how many times he lost against Sonic, but growled angrily. "I told you I don't want to talk about it!!"

"Maybe... there's a disturbance in the luck balance of the universe!" Sticks said.

"That can happen?" Knuckles looked up at the sky and mumbled, "Stupid universe."
