"Thanks, all of you, for helping with Sticks' yard sale." Amy smiled as she watched Penny, Sonic, and the others place different items on the table. "We all know she's a packrat, but together we can beat it! Right, Sticks?"

"I don't think I..."

"Right!" Amy interrupted her.

"Amy?" Sonic asked. "Don't you think you're being a little too...take-charge?"

"I'm only doing what anyone would do for a friend who's pathetic and hopeless!" Amy smiled.

"Hey, hey!" Sticks snapped.

Penny frowned at Amy. "Amy, are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Let the yard sale begin!" Amy said, blowing through a whistle.

"Not to take charge at all," Sonic grumbled.

Penny sighed, feeling a bit bad for Sticks. She looked at Amy. "Say what you want. But I will NOT force Sticks to do something she doesn't want to do. I won't be part of it." The human girl smiled apologetically at Sticks, who gave a small smile back.

"How much for this stick with a beehive?" A beaver asked, walking over and pointing to the beehive.

"I can't sell that!" Sticks snapped. "My great aunt gave it to me!"

"Well then, how much for this cow skull?"

"NO!" Sticks snapped. "That's where I keep my stick beehive!"

"How about this wad of moss?"

"I can't sell that!" Sticks held it up. "If you hold it sideways under a full moon, it looks like Amy. With two noses. And a beard!"

Penny raised her eyebrows. It did look like Amy...pretty funny.

Amy pushed Sticks away. "Five bucks for all of them!" She smiled.

Soon, the beaver walked off with Sticks' belongings. Sticks growled in annoyance. Amy smiled at her. "Just breathe."

Sticks crossed her arms.

Tails smiled as he picked up an object. "Look, Knuckles!" He smiled. "A sugite crystal cluster! Perfect to build a hyperactive Exo Magnifier! Don't you think?!"

"Um, what came after, "Look, Knuckles?'" Knuckles asked.

Tails frowned, blinking at Knuckles.

Eggman walked over to a table, eyeing a Comic book. He tried making an attempt to steal it, but...

"HEY!"

Eggman jumped, turning around to see Sonic glaring at him. "What are you doing there?"

"I was going to buy this?" Eggman stuttered, showing Sonic the comic.

"Ten bucks." Sonic held out his hand.

"TEN BUCKS?!" Eggman snapped. "Highway robbery!" He placed the book back, and the two walked away. Making sure Sonic was gone, Eggman walked back to the book and snuck int into his coat.

"AHEM!"

Eggman glanced down at Sonic. "Two bucks?"

"You guys," Amy told Tails and Knuckles. "Could you move this couch to the other side of the yard?"

"You got it," Knuckles said.

Eggman was about to take off with the book again, but once again Sonic stopped him in his steps. "And not a penny more!"

The two turned around to see Knuckles pulling the couch, and Tails allowing himself to be dragged.

"How much for this trunk helmet?" Lady Walrus asked.
