Sonic sat on the balcony, overlooking the green grass blowing casually with the warm breeze. It was a warm summer day and Sonic could not think of another way to spend it but with a nap. The blue hedgehog closed his eyes, feeling himself drift into a peaceful sleep.

"Uncle Sonic!" A small voice chirped as Sonic felt 10 pounds of pure cuteness head-but him in the stomach.

"Aqua!" Sonic replied picking up the small blue and purple hedgehog. "What is my favorite niece doing here?"

"Don't tell me you forgot!" A voice whined behind Sonic.

Sonic turned his head and was surprised to see his younger brother Spyro standing before him. Spyro was slightly smaller then Sonic. His quills were set into a slick downward form, he wore a tuxedo and black pants.

"Why so dressed up Spyro?" Sonic questioned his black and violet sibling.

"It's my 4th wedding anniversary with Marina!" Spyro snapped "You're supposed to watch Aqua!"

Sonic screamed in surprise before running to child proof his mansion. He locked; the cabinets, doors, drawers, and closets, applied foam to all the corners he could find, and put all his sharp objects out of reach.

When Sonic returned to his brother who was looking at his watch, Sonic smirked.

"I'm impressed Blue, 10 seconds flat." Spyro stated amazed at Sonic's speed and supply of child proof equipment. Aqua sat on the ground sucking her tiny gloved thumb.

"Sonic!" A female voice cried from downstairs. "Tell Spyro that his wife's getting upset!"

"Ok Shard!" Sonic cried back. Spyro picked up his young Daughter and kissed her forehead. Aqua felt her father's sadness of leaving her behind in the kiss and began to cry.

"Woah!" Sonic said picking up the sobbing child. "Don't cry he'll come back!"

Spyro told Sonic about Aquas favorite toy ( A stuffed Kitty named Buttons) and her nap-times (among other things) before leaving.

"DADDY!" Aqua began crying immediately. Sonic rocked the tiny child back and forth in his arms as she began squirming to follow the descending hedgehog.

"Shhh...There there Aqua your daddy'll be back for you I promise." Sonic whispered as he walked back in Aquas room.

The room was decorated in colors of pink and blue. Sonic set Aqua on her bed and went to get a blanket. When the blue hedgehog returned he was surprised to see that his niece was gone, clothes and all
