Planes, Trains and Dude-Mobiles/Sticks and Amy’s Excellent Staycation

[Scene: Meh Burger, day.]
 * [Knuckles is chugging a milkshake, while Sonic is cheering him on.]
 * Sonic: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
 * [Knuckles finishes the milkshake, and slams the glass on the table.]
 * Knuckles: Woo-hoo! [clutches his head in pain] Brain freeze! Ow ow ow ow! Oh, what did I do to deserve this?
 * Tails: [runs up] You guys! I got big news!
 * Knuckles: You're getting married?
 * Tails: What? No! Our band has been asked to play a concert on the other side of the island!
 * Sonic: Yes!
 * Knuckles: Woo-hoo!
 * Sonic: Just one question. We're in a band?
 * Tails: Dude-itude, remember? We saved the women of the village from becoming mind-controlled zombies?
 * [Sonic and Knuckles stare at Tails flatly.]
 * Tails: We ended Justin Beaver’s musical career?
 * [Sonic and Knuckles continue staring.]
 * Tails: [flatly] There were crackers in the green room?
 * Sonic: [remembering] Oh yeah!
 * Knuckles: [remembering as well] Right!
 * Sonic: But how are we gonna get our gear to the concert?

[Scene Change: Tails' Workshop, exterior, day.]
 * Tails: The Dude-Mobile!
 * Knuckles: Road trip!

[Scene Change: Tails Workshop, exterior, day.]
 * Amy: With the guys out of town on their Dude-itude concert, we can finally have some quality girl time. See a movie, go to the club--
 * Sticks: Sharpen our bayonets, oil our bayonets, polish our bayonets..
 * Amy: Sticks, we don't have bayonets.
 * Sticks: Oh yeah. Buy bayonets!
 * Amy: Why do we need bayonets?
 * Sticks: Our team is going to be weakened by three, and Eggman's still out there. We have to be prepared!
 * [Knuckles closes the back door of the Dude-Mobile, and climbs in. Tails closes the door.]
 * Amy: Have fun on your trip, guys! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!
 * Sonic: I thought you said to "have fun."
 * [Amy growls. Tails starts up the Dude-Mobile and the boys drive off.]
 * Sticks: So, who's got first guard duty shift?
 * Amy: We don't need guard duty, Sticks. What we need is a plan to keep Eggman at bay.

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, canyon, day.]
 * [The Dude-Mobile drives down the canyon. Tails is behind the wheel, Sonic is riding shotgun, and Knuckles is in the back seat.]
 * Sonic: Since we'll be in this car for the next fifteen hours, let's make some productive use of our time!
 * [Sonic pushes a tape into the tape deck. A rock and roll beat starts to play, with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles bobbing their heads to it.]
 * All: [singing] Dude-itude is back, y'all! We ain't wack, y'all!
 * Knuckles: [singing] We want you to hear us way up at the back wall
 * All: [singing] So drop your hands and raise your feet, cause Dude-itude's droppin' this phat beat
 * Tails: [singing] We bring the rhythm, the funk
 * Sonic: [singing] Got a drum set in the trunk
 * Knuckles: [singing] A team of furry critters with swag, panache, spunk
 * Sonic: [singing] Our guts are full of chili dogs
 * Knuckles: [singing] The van's in overdrive
 * All: [singing] You haven't seen a real band until you've seen us live!
 * [They stop singing and return to bobbing their heads.]
 * Sonic: We are gonna own this concert! Nothing can stop us now!
 * Knuckles: I need to stop now.
 * [The Dude-Mobile stops. Knuckles jumps out and runs into a bathroom]

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, field, day.]
 * [Amy finishes hammering a Sonic doll to a post.]
 * Amy: Lucky for us, I just happen to own this homemade Sonic doll. Which I keep around for totally legitimate, definitely non-creepy reasons.
 * [Amy chuckles nervously, then pulls the ladder away. In the background, Eggman is seen walking by, whistling. Sticks and Amy notice him, and dive behind a bush, causing a cat to yowl. Eggman stops whistling when he sees the Sonic doll.]
 * Eggman: Oh? Well, if it isn't Sonic! [The doll, of course, says nothing] What's with the smug grin? You got beef, hedgehog? Then why don't you bring it to my grill? [More silence from the doll] Yeah, that's what I thought. You don't want none of this, nuh-uh. [More silence] Yeah, giving me the cold shoulder, huh? You just started a war, you blue pincushion!
 * Amy: That should keep him occupied for a while. So, how do you want to kick off our girl's weekend?
 * [Scene Change: Seaside Island, forest, day.]
 * [Sonic is waiting impatiently while Tails is reading a pamphlet.]
 * Tails: According to this pamphlet, our route takes us right past the famous water tower shaped like a ketchup bottle!
 * Sonic: "Famous"? I've never heard of it.
 * Tails: [reading the pamphlet] It was prominently featured in a deleted scene from Mutant Commando 3.
 * Sonic: Fine. We can make one stop.
 * [Montage: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are at the Ketchup-Bottle Shaped Water Tower. Tails take a picture, while Sonic groans with boredom. Back in the van, Knuckles is asleep in the backseat, but suddenly wakes up and points ahead. Knuckles runs into another bathroom. Back in the van again, Tails points at a sign ahead advertising another roadside attraction. Tails and Knuckles look excited, but Sonic rolls his eyes. The roadside attraction is a bunch of old cars stacked like dominos. Tails takes another picture. Knuckles leans against one of the cars, but ends up knocking them over. Tails and Knuckles walk away from the wreckage, whistling innocently. Knuckles comes out of another bathroom, with Tails holding up and pointing at another pamphlet. Sonic looks frustrated.]

[Scene Change: Seaside Island, forest, day.]
 * [Three metal cans are sitting on a stump. A clump of mud hits one of them and knocks it off.]
 * Sticks: Mud clump hurling! [hits another can with a clump of mud]
 * Amy: Can't we do something a little less... how do I put this gently... repugnant, uncouth, and boorish?
 * Sticks: At least give it a try.
 * [Amy sighs and scoops up a clump of mud. As she lifts her arm to throw it, some of the mud splatters on her dress. She shrieks and drops the mud.]
 * Amy: Sorry, Sticks, but dirt throwing isn't my cup of tea. Thankfully, I know something that is my cup of tea...

[Scene Change: Amy's House, interior, day]
 * [Amy and Sticks are holding cups of tea on saucers.]
 * Amy: A cup of tea!
 * Sticks: Why did you just say that?
 * [Astrid peeks out through the window while snickering]
 * Amy: Remember before when I said, "I know something that is my cup of tea"? I was just finishing the thought.
 * Sticks: But you said that like an hour ago.
 * Amy: Yeah, but imagine if you were an outside observer just watching pieces of the conversation.
 * Astrid: She see’s them too?!
 * [Astrid glares at the "camera" as a musical sting plays.]
 * Amy: Let's get back to knitting.
 * [Amy has a long, neat pink scarf knitted. Stick's knitting is a tangled, clumpy mess.]
 * Amy: Definitely seeing some improvement, but remember you always want to knit the first row, then change to a ribbing pattern.
 * Sticks: Sorry, but this nursing home activity stuff just ain't my bag.
 * Amy: I think I have an idea that will satisfy both of us.
