This story focuses on Rosy the Rascal and her conflict with a green pineapple. I am going to try not to stray from this topic by accidentally studying other characters and relationships (though I'll have to admit that Shadow and Rouge and Shadow and...
Meanwhile, Infinite was delivering a lecture to Honest, Blaze, and Rosy as the four walked through the lower hallway.
"So as you can see, there is absolutely no reason why you should be frightened. Ghosts are completely make-believe-- a product of the imagination. Every little noise will frighten you against your better judgement. You'll be surprised by how many times you can be frightened by the slightest of noises."
"And you know because you've been scared before, right? You've learned from experience?" Honest asked.
Infinite jumped. "Huh? No, I don't have any reason to be scared." He then nodded his head slowly. "I didn't really hear anything anyway," he boasted.
Then, suddenly, Infinite spotted something.
Was that Shadow standing behind her? No, it couldn't have been. This figure was devoid of color and transparent. Infinite rubbed his eyes. And like that it was gone.
"What's wrong, Infy?" Honest asked, concerned. Blaze tilted her head at him.
"I-It's nothing?" he said. Well, it was more of a question. Honest turned around swiftly.
"Yes, you're right. It is nothing," she said cheerily. Honest then spun around again and gave the masked mongrel a thumbs up. "Great job!"
A vein protruded from his metal mask (because for some reason that makes sense).
"No, I saw something," he then told her. Honest jumped up and down.
"Oh! Oh! Was it a ghost?"
Infinite saw Blaze shaking and was reminded of something. He crossed his arms. "Nope. I saw evidence that it was Shadow who's pulling this prank."
Honest tilted her head. "Huh, what do you mean?"
Infinite turned away. "I saw Shadow walk by just a minute ago. He must be setting up the next trap."
Honest narrowed her eyes. Shadow wasn't one to play pranks on others. Infinite must've been just trying to pin all of this on him as part of some revenge scheme. She turned away as well, crossing her arms. "You're just blaming this on him because you don't like him. I bet you're the one behind this. Not Shadow." She glared over her shoulder at him with one eye.
Infinite made a complicated expression as he turned back to her. "You just don't want to admit that your best friend is a filthy prankster."
Honest tried to imagine "filthy prankster Shadow" in her head. It was impossible.
"Uh, I don't mean to burst your guys' bubbles, but what the heck is that?"
It was Blaze who stepped between them and pointed at something behind them. Both the jackal and the cat spun around slowly.
All they saw was some orange figure wearing a strange mask and shaking its fingers at them. Honest and Infinite both grasped each other dramatically while screaming in unison. "AAHH!"
