Sonic stares at the clock on the wall, watching the seconds tick by into minutes as he waits for his friends to come back to the apartment, but he finds himself... procrastinating. He should be doing his online class he found after searching up 'how to stop dropping rings every time I touch a robot,' but here he is, procrastinating.

"Four score and seven years ago," He starts in a horrific, exaggerated British accent. "My friends and I met on a lovely day in high school. Now, Mr. Mittens," he points to a brown cat stuffed animal, "We must share a toast, a glass to freedom, if you will, as no one is home today. Let the games begin."

September by Earth, Wind and Fire is playing on a Bluetooth speaker in the shape of a ring. The surroundsound, even. The neighbors can hear him. One of them hits a broomstick on their ceiling, but he couldn't care less. He could barely hear them anyway. He's dancing with his shoulders bobbing up and down as he waltzes around the apartment's kitchen and living room area.

"Do you remember the 21st night of September?" He screams the lyrics at the top of his lungs. He has an open white button-down shirt, sunglasses and just his socks on.

The next song that the camera pans too, is Billie Jean by Michael Jackson as he moonwalks across the floor. Roommates is series on YouTube for everyone that lives in Möbius, after Silver pitched the idea a chapter ago. They post certain recorded content on YouTube, and Sonic doesn't know that the camera is still live from when they were baking earlier. So this means everyone and their mother can see him, as well as his friends. Sonic stayed home "sick" today because he didn't want to go look at color swatches for the new room in the apartment.

He's the embodiment of chaos as he soars into the kitchen, making papers fly everywhere in retaliation to his quick speed, and decides he wants to reheat the leftovers and make himself a chilidog only to figure out there's no chili left. He sulks back into the living room and sits on the couch. "The Real Housewives of Möbius" is on, a show Silver and Amy binge-watch together, and, unfortunately, the plot looks good.

He finds himself about two hours later, watching three extra episodes, and then finally turns the TV off, sobbing. He looks over to the camera on the counter and notices a red light blinking and his eyes go wide.

"If Silver forgot to turn off the camera, I'm going to kill him." He groans as he goes to the other side of the camera and notices it's still on. A whole swarm of people start typing in the YouTube livestream. He waves before clicking the end stream button, and gives Silver a call.

Silver picks up his phone and notices his picture of Sonic with a mustache drawn in sharpie and a beard of whipped cream on the screen. Amy is holding up a peace sign on the left and Silver is flicking off the camera while the blue hedgehog sleeps on the couch.

"Sick, huh?" Silver chuckles nonchalantly and Sonic audibly growls.

"You set me up, didn't you?" He jumps to conclusions, which makes Silver chuckle again.

"No, actually I didn't, that would make a good prank though. I should remember that for next time."

" I'll get you back for this, you won't see it coming." Sonic threatens. Silver rolls his eyes and blows a raspberry and hangs up.

Sonic cracks his knuckles as he notices silly string and sticky notes sitting on the counter, another practical prank that Silver is pulling. The next thing he sees are some Oreos in the pantry and sour cream in the fridge.

"Perfect." His mischievous demeanor is strong and he gets to creating.

He wanted to make sure that some Oreos looked normal and he wanted to make each of them a little plate of those get some milk, and ranch, out and other stuff. He would make more pranking food, however, they would get suspicious. Sonic doesn't cook. Blaze and Amy get normal Oreo cookies, and...well... Silver gets some normal and others that are not so normal. He scrapes the icing off of the Oreos and replaces it with a dollop of sour cream.They look just like the others, perfect doppelgängers, if you will, and he gets ready for his plan. He puts ranch in the one glass of milk and smirks. They're coming home in an hour.

Thirty minutes goes by and Sonic has covered the entirety of Silver's room in silly string, and his and Silver's bathroom is now covered in post notes from head to toe, other than the shower, he wanted take one real quick.

Amy open the door and noticed the Sonic sitting on the couch. He looks over to her and gives her a wink. She knows this wink, she knows the devious look on his face.

He pulled a prank.

She was going to go over and ask him what it is, but decided not to. She wants to see this plays out. She walks past Silver's room quickly and notices silly string from each of the different walls, spreading from all four corners in different directions like spiderwebs from the ceilings to the floor. She audibly gasps and starts to chuckle a little before she walks into her room and sees there's nothing wrong and shakes her head. That hedgehog, no matter how much she secretly thinks about him at night, would've been dead if anything happened to her room.

Blaze walks in next and notices cookies and milk on the table. There's a name tag that says her name on one of them and she doesn't question it, but already knows there's something up with Silver's plate. She shakes her head and grabs the plate and walks upstairs.

Silver slams the door open with his telekinesis powers, and stares at Sonic and proceeds to shout "'SUP FUCKER!" at the top of his lungs. Sonic shrugs and looks back at the TV unfazed.

Silver finds the Oreos and inspects them. He carefully switches his and Amy's name tags. He brings both plates of cookies upstairs to Amy and sits on her bed.

"You ready to watch our show?" Silver asks and Amy nods. She notices the next three episodes were already skipped and raises an eyebrow. There's a statement under the show name saying they were already watched and the bar is fully red under the show. She shrugs and takes a cookie from her plate.

A sour cream Oreo, that is. She takes a bite and her mouth quenches while her body shakes with rage.

"SONIC!!!" She yells at the top of her lungs and Sonic jumps in his seat.

"Y-Yes Ames?"

"WHY ARE MY OREOS FILLED WITH SOUR CREAM?!"

"NO THOSE WERE-" He trails off. "SILVERRRR!!"

Silver starts laughing hysterically at the scene unfolding in front of him. What a massive fail.
