An explode-o-nut lands on the ground. A monkey picks up a stone and just before it breaks the coconut open, the coconut beeps and explodes, burning the monkey. It is then chased off the scene by Eggman.

"That's right. No one can stop me from turning every coconut on this island into deadly explode-o-nuts! Thanks to my fiendish Spider Bombs." Eggman presses a button on his Eggmobile's console that deploys four Spider Bombs from his Eggmobile.

"Scuttle, my spiders. Scuttle!" As the Spider Bombs scatter, one of them drills a hole into a coconut and crawls inside it. It beeps just before Sonic picks it up.

"Is it just me or have Eggman's plans gotten a little... weird." Sonic throws the coconut up to Tails, who bats it up in the air. It explodes in mid-air.

"Exploding spider-bot coconuts? No. It's not just you." Tails says.

"You can say that again." I state as I kick a coconut up into the air as it explodes.

Sonic throws an explode-o-nut, which is caught by Knuckles.

"How can we tell a difference between regular coconuts and the explode-" The coconut explodes in Knuckles' face. Knuckles coughs. "Oh. I see."

Sonic chucks another explode-o-nut up in the air. Amy knocks it towards Eggman with her hammer. The explode-o-nut explode near Eggman's Eggmobile.

"It's psychological. The spider-bots are an obvious cry for help and the coconuts indicate deep-seated mother issues." Amy explains.

"I do not have mother issues!" Eggman grunts and deploys a ring of explode-o-nuts around us with his Eggmobile. An alarm clock rings behind Amy's back. She reads the time on an alarm clock that she pulls out behind her back.

"Oh, darn it. Malaika, we promised Sticks a girl's night out to the volcano." She says.

"Oh shoot, I forgot about that. Hey Sonic, can we wrap this up?"

"Just when it was getting good." Knuckles uses the ground pound to lift the explode-o-nuts up in the air. Sonic jumps and redirects them all back at Eggman. They float around the Eggmobile.

"Mommy." The explode-o-nuts explode, damaging the Eggmobile.

"Curse you, Sonic! I just had this washed." Eggman tries to flee but his Eggmobile struggles, ejecting smoke.

"Come on, Sticks. The volcano's not gonna be open all night." Amy says.

"The volcano closes?" Sticks asks.

"It's an expression." I explain.

"Of what?"

"I don't know! It's an expression, it's just an expression!"

Sticks gives a confused look to Amy.

"Come on. Getting ready is half the fun of going out. Like, what have you got in your purse?" Amy asks.

"Purse?"

"A girl needs the essentials." She rummages around her purse. "Cab fare; Lip balm; picture of two friends that you do not madly ship."

I turn my head. "Wait wha-"

"Purse, right." Sticks runs to her storage room and closes the door.

"Sticks! Are you OK?" I ask.

Amy opens the door.

"Oh no!"

"Purses are around here somewhere." Stciks rummaged around.
