This is a request story from Waffle the Fox, why am I making it? CAUSE SHE'S MY FRIEND! Anyway, I own none of the characters appearing in this story, that's Sega's credit.

Chapter 1: Hiccups

It was a normal day at the Chaotix Detective Agency; everything was boring as usual, until and loud hiccup escaped Espio's mouth. Vector looked up and Charmy instantly flew over to Espio.

"Whoa, do that again Espio!" Charmy said. Then, as if on demand, Espio hiccupped again, this one hurting his chest.

"Ow." Espio said, putting a hand on his chest.

"Oh, cool! I want hiccups!" Charmy cried. "Hey, Vector, how do I get hiccups?"

"Drink or eat to fast." Vector said. Charmy flew into the kitchen and looked for food to eat too fast.

"You should've told him he might choke too." Espio said.

"He'll figure it out." Vector replied. Espio hiccupped again.

"Oh Chaos, I hate hiccups." Espio complained. He hiccupped again.

"They seem to like you." Vector snickered.

"Shut (hic!) up! How something so (hic!) little be so (hic!) annoying?"

"You've lived with Charmy for how long and you're asking me that?"

"(hic!) Good point." Espio said. Vector nodded.

"Now, let's see what we can do 'bout those hiccups." Vector said and lead Espio into the kitchen. Charmy was drinking out of the faucet when the two reptiles came in.

"Charmy, whadda doin?" Vector sighed.

"I'm getting hiccups!" Charmy stated and kept drinking. Vector shook his head and pulled the bee away long enough to get a glass of water. He gave the glass to Espio who almost dropped it after a loud and hard hiccup.

"Hold your breath and drink it." Vector said. Espio didn't say anything and drank the water and hiccupped while swallowing (Hands up if that ever happened to you).

"That didn't help at all." Espio said.

"(hic!)"

"Oh no, not you too Charmy." Vector said.

"Woo (hic!) hoo!" Charmy cried. Espio walked into the main room and walked toward the stairs leading to the roof.

"Espio, where ya goin?" Vector asked, following him up.

"I'm gonna jump off the roof." Espio stated.

"What!?"

"Sometimes, if a person is scared enough, they won't have hiccups anymore."

"So you're gonna dive off our roof?"

"Yep."

"You're crazy, worse then that, stupid."

"I don't care; I want these things (hic!) gone." Espio said, by now, the two were on the roof and Espio stood on the side staring down.

"Long way down." Vector said, peering over the edge. Espio nodded and held his breath as a walked off the side.

HOLY CRAP! HE JUMPED! ESPIO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
