Chapter 8: Enter Lady Ami

Chuck was in his throne room. He had all his miniature people stacked like Jenga pieces. He had finally stacked the last one, when Rouge burst into the room, sending the figures crashing down.

“Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your nephew.” Rouge said pulling out a scroll.

“(Squawk, the problem with your nephew!)” Kenny chimed in.

“Oh, really?” Chuck said, clearly interested.

“Right here. If the prince has not chosen a wife by the appointed time, then the sultan shall choose for him.” Rouge said reading the scroll.

“But Sonic hated all those suitors!” Chuck said pulling a cracker from his pocket. Kenny backed away. Chuck absentmindedly pulled the cracker back. “How could I choose someone he hates?”

Kenny looked relieved, but Chuck quickly stuffed the cracker in his mouth.

“Not to worry, my liege. There is more. If, in the event a suitable princess cannot be found, the prince must then be wed to…hmm…interesting.” Rouge said.

“What? Who?” Chuck asked.

“The royal vizier! Why, that would be…me!” Rouge said with fake shock.

“Why, I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess, I'm quite sure.” Chuck said confusedly.

“Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord.” Rouge said, pulling out her scepter and hypnotizing Chuck.

“Yes…desperate measures…” Chuck repeated.

“You will order the prince to marry me.” Rouge said.

“I…will order…the prince…to…” Chuck started to say. “…but you're so old!” he said, the spell temporarily breaking.

Rouge was losing her patience. “The prince WILL marry me!” she said, shoving the scepter in Chuck's face.

“The prince will marry…” Chuck started to say. Suddenly, they both heard a loud trumpet fanfare. The ground started to shake in rhythm. “What? What is that? That music! Ha-ha-ha! Rouge, you must come and see this!” Chuck said, running to the balcony.

A parade was going on in the streets of Toonalasia. Apparently, the rhythmic ground shaking was caused by a herd of brontosaurs. This was not all that was in the parade. There were flag-twirling Keronians, juggling Autobots, fire-blowing Heatblasts, bell-ringing Dittos, sword-twirling Mobians, acrobatic cyborg monkeys, magical girls twirling colorful cloths, and many other things. Leading the parade was Omygyrl and Sanrio, dressed respectively in a high school marching band uniform and a cheerleading uniform. As the fanfare gave way, the parade performers started to sing:

Flag-twirling Keronians: Make way for Lady Ami!

(People stopped what they were doing and watched the parade.)

Fire Breathing Heatblasts: Say hey! It's Lady Ami!

(Omygyrl appeared in the crowd with Sanrio following close behind.)

Omygyrl: Hey, clear the way in the old bazaar

Hey you, let us through, it's a bright new star

Now come, be the first on the block to meet her eye!

(The brontosaurs blow the trumpets hanging from their necks.)

Sanrio: Make way, here she comes,

Ring bells, bang the drums

(As Sanrio sang that line, Omygyrl made sound effects using various pots and pans. Sanrio then jumped into Felix the Cat's arms.)

Sanrio: ‘Cause you know you’re gonna love…

(Two brontosaurs parted, revealing Pikachu marching behind them. Bumblebee rode on him like a rider on a horse. Two ho-ohs folded their tail feathers, revealing Amy in her princess outfit.)

Omygyrl: Lady Ami, fabulous she, Ami Rozawa!

Sanrio: Genuflect, show some respect! Down on one knee!

(Sanrio pulled a rug out from under Foghorn, Cartman, and Goofy, making them bow. Pikachu tipped his fez to the guards.)

Omygyrl: Now try your best to stay calm,

(Chuck tapped his toes to the music.)

Sanrio: Brush up your Sunday Salaam!

(Kenny started to dance on Rouge's shoulder. Rouge glared at him and Kenny stopped sheepishly.)

Omygyrl & Sanrio: Then come and meet her spectacular coterie!

(Omygyrl ran behind a row of guys, scooping them up into a tower of men. Amy shook their hands.)

Sanrio: Lady Ami, mighty is she, Ami Rozawa!

(The men all fall on top of Amy. Sanrio secretly zapped Amy, giving her super strength to pick up all the men.)

Omygyrl: Strong as ten regular men, definitely!

(Sanrio turned into an old woman and pretended to spread gossip among the citizens. She told this next line to Butters Stotch and Haruhi Fujioka.)

Sanrio: She beat the galloping hordes!

(Omygyrl turned into a little kid, complete with a tuft of hair, eyelashes, and a single tooth. Waving a toy sword around, she told this next line to a group of Bean Scouts.)

Omygyrl: A hundred bad guys with swords!

(Sanrio turned into a middle-aged man with a black beard. She told this next line to Eduardo and Wilt.)

Sanrio: Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Lady Ami!

(Sonic came out to his balcony to watch.)

Hyperforce: She's got seventy-five golden camels!

(Omygyrl turned into a parade reporter, parodying the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.)

Omygyrl: Don't they look lovely, June?

Magical Girls: Purple peacocks, she's got fifty-three!

(Sanrio popped in, wearing a blond wig, fur coat, and lipstick.)

Sanrio: Fabulous, Harry, I love the feathers.

(A big gorilla parade balloon appeared, being held by a group of Digimon.)

Sanrio: When it comes to exotic-type mammals...

(Omygyrl turned into a tiger and said this line to the Bean Scouts.)

Omygyrl: Has she got a zoo?

(Sanrio turned into a goat.)

Sanrio: I'm telling you,

(They disappeared.)

Sword-twirling Mobians: It's a world-class menagerie!

(Sanrio reappeared in the fraternity balcony as a large man with, oddly enough, Ethel Merman's voice.)

Sanrio: LADY AMI! Pretty is she, Ami Rozawa!

(As Sanrio sang, the boys gossiped about Amy in fake Long Island accents.)

Sanrio: That physique! How can I speak, weak at the knee!

(As Sanrio sang this, Omygyrl zapped Amy again, making her look like a supermodel.)

(Sonic rolled his eyes, thinking that Amy was just another selfish princess.)

Sanrio: Well get on out into that square!

Adjust your veil and prepare

To gawk and grovel and stare at Lady Ami!

(Sonic sighed and walked back into his room.)

(The parade started coming to the palace. Pikachu swung his head majestically.)

Bell-ringing Dittos: She's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys!

(Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck, and Hampton Pig danced as they sang this next line.)

TT Trio: She's got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys!

Balloon-holding Digimon: And to view them, she charges no fee!

(Amy threw gold coins to the crowd.)

Crowd: She's generous, so generous!

(As the parade reached the palace stairs, they start to walk up. It's a miracle that the stairs can hold all the weight.)

Juggling Autobots: She's got slaves, she's got servants and flunkies

All parade-members: Proud to work for her! They bow to her whim, love serving her,

(Chuck rushed to the doors.)

Parade-members: They're just lousy with loyalty to Ami!

(Chuck tried to open the doors.)

Parade-members: Lady Ami…

(Rouge and Kenny blocked the doors. They felt a rumble. Rouge turned around. The parade burst into the room, crushing both of them behind one door.)

Parade-members plus Sanrio & Omygyrl: LADY AMI!!! Amorous she! Ami Rozawa!

(Sanrio slid down Pikachu's trunk and put her arm around Chuck.)

Sanrio: Heard your prince was quite a sight, handsome to see!

(Rouge pushed the door away. She and Kenny were smashed into the wall. Kenny was road kill and Rouge had the urge to bite someone's head off.)

Omygyrl: And that, good people, is why, she got dolled up and dropped by!

(As Omygyrl sang this, she pointed to the parade.)

Parade-members: With sixty elephants, llamas galore

With her bears and lions

A brass band and more

Her forty fakirs

Her cooks and bakers

Her birds that warble on key!

Make way…for Lady Ami!

(On this last line, Bumblebee and Amy slid down Pikachu’s trunk to Chuck, landing perfectly on their feet. Rouge tried to push the parade back outside. The entire parade and Omygyrl & Sanrio went back inside the lamp. As the music stopped, Rouge finally got the doors shut. She was braced against them and looked very exhausted and annoyed.)

“Splendid, absolutely marvelous!” Chuck said, clapping.

Bumblebee cleared his throat. “Your majesty, Lady Ami has journeyed from afar to seek your nephew's hand in marriage.”

“Lady Ami Rozawa! Of course. I'm delighted to meet you.” Chuck said, shaking her hand. “This is my royal vizier, Rouge. She's delighted too.” Chuck said, mentioning a very angry-looking Rouge with Kenny on her shoulder.

“Ecstatic.” Rouge said sarcastically. “I'm afraid, Lady Rozuzu—”

“Rozawa.” Amy said, correcting her.

“Whatever. I’m afraid you cannot just parade in here uninvited and expect to—”

“My word,” Chuck said, looking at Pikachu. “I’ve never seen one like this before…” Chuck pulled on Pikachu’s trunk. “This is quite a unique Pokémon.” Max said laughing.

“He can fly, you know!” Sanrio blurted from inside the lamp in Amy’s voice.

Amy shook the lamp like a snow globe. She could hear Sanrio’s dizzy wailing.

“I don't suppose I might…”

“Why certainly, your majesty. Allow me.” Amy said, helping Chuck onto Pikachu's back.

Rouge slammed her foot down on Pikachu’s trunk. The Pokémon shrieked in pain.

“Sire, I must advise against this.” Rouge said.

“Oh, button up, Rouge. Learn to have a little fun.” Chuck said, kicking away Rouge's foot. Sanrio sprinkled some magic onto Pikachu, and he took off. The action caused Kenny to fall off of Rouge and land on the floor. Pikachu flew around the room. He performed loops, dive bombs, air barrels, etc.

While this was going on, Rouge was getting suspicious of Amy.

“Just where did you say you were from?” Rouge asked.

“Oh, much farther than you've traveled, I'm sure.” Amy lied, smiling. Rouge did not return the smile.

“Try me.”

Meanwhile, Kenny was trying to move out of Pikachu's way. “Look out, Polly!” Chuck laughed. Kenny finally got out of way.

“(Hey, watch it with your friend Dumbo!)” Kenny said, looking back. He crashed into a pillar. He hit the floor. Little sultans on phanpys buzzed around his head chanting, “Have a cracker.”

Stan and Kyle appeared once again. “Oh my god, he killed Kenny!”

“You bastard!” Kyle yelled, shaking his fist at Pikachu.

“Out of the way, I'm coming in to, watch this!” Chuck said, performing a ten point landing.

“Spectacular, your highness.” Rouge said dryly.

Pikachu was so dizzy, that he could barely stand. So he passed out on the floor.

“Ooh, lovely. Yes, I do seem to have a knack for it.” Chuck said, running up to Amy. “This is a very impressive girl. And a princess as well.” He whispered to Rouge, “If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Sonic after all.”

Rouge took the sultan aside. “I don't trust her, sire.” she said desperately.

“Nonsense.” Chuck said sternly. “One thing I pride myself on, Rouge, is that I'm an excellent judge of character.”

“(Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure…not!)” the revived Kenny said, brushing dust off of himself.

At that moment, Sonic walked into the room. Nobody seemed to notice him.

“Sonic will certainly like this one!” Chuck said.

“And I'm pretty sure I'll like Prince Sonic!” Amy agreed.

“Your highness, no! I must intercede on Sonic's behalf.” Rouge said. This made Sonic angry. “This girl is no different than the others. What makes her think she is worthy of the prince?” Rouge hissed in Amy's face.

“Your majesty, I am Lady Ami Rozawa!” Amy bragged. “Just let him meet me. I will win your nephew’s heart.”

“Hey!” Sonic shouted. Rouge, Amy, and Chuck looked surprised. They pretended to be innocent. Chuck looked down at his feet, Amy whistled while looking in a different direction, and Rouge banged her arm against her legs.

“What do you three think you’re doing, standing around deciding my future? I’m not some prize you win at a carnival!” he said, storming out of the room.

“Oh, dear. Don't worry, Lady Ami. Just give Sonic time to cool down.” Chuck said as he and Amy exited the room.

Rouge looked angrier than a taunted rhino. Her right index finger glowed bright purple. “I think it's time to say good bye to Lady Rozuzu.” she snarled.
