It was a normal slow day at the Chaotix detective agency since there was nothing to do except lounge around and find something to do, so nobody would go insane of boredom.
"Vector, I'm bored" a young bee whined as he sat in a corner.
The young bee was Charmy, the youngest detective who was always trying to find something to do whenever there was no case coming. If he didn't find something to do soon then he was going to be bored all day.
"Well, find something to do" a certain crocodile replied as he was reading the newspaper, looking up any crimes that needed to be solved.
The crocodile was none other than Vector, the oldest detective and leader of the Chaotix. He was starting to lose his patience with Charmy since he's been listening him complain for the last past hour. It was starting to drive him nuts; he had to think of something before Charmy did something stupid.
"Come on Vector think…what can charmy do to get you out of your jaw for a while…its not like he can do chores around…that's it"
He tossed the newspaper aside and smiled at Charmy "I know what you can do charmy…but can I trust you to get it done?"
Charmy got up and flew over to him "get what done?" he asked curiously.
"There's a chore I want you to get done here"
"What's a chore?"
Vector smacked his forehead and sighs "a chore is getting a job done around the house"
"You mean like…doing dishes, taking the garbage out or mowing the lawn since Espio likes to do those two things since it's always outside and you like doing the dishes while listening to music"
Vector was surprised at what charmy said; but also relieved so that he wouldn't have to give examples to the young detective.
"What kind of chore do you want me to do, sir?"
"Clean your room"
Charmy eyes widen "but…"
"If you can clean it up nicely…I'll give you ten dollars and don't put any of your stuff in my closet, okay"
"Yes sir" Charmy saluted as he flew out of the room
"That should keep him busy for the next hour" he smiled to himself as he picked up the paper and continued reading.
Charmy was upstairs in his room and saw the mess on the floor.
"I might as well do it now and get it over with"
The young bee flew around his room as he started picking up his toys and putting them in the correct boxes that they were supposes to go in. Then he started making his bed while folding it all nicely so he would impress Vector. Finally he went to his closet that was completely messy, picked up some stuff and went into the hallway for a minute and return to picked up some more stuff before going back into the hallway.
He did this a couple more times before closing the closet door. Charmy then looked at his walls to see that they were messy too.
"I should probably clean the walls too"
He left the room for a minute before coming back with cleaning supplies.
"Let's do this"
And the young bee got too work on the walls.
It took him about a half-hour to get every spot clean including the corners and not only that, he also vacuums the carpet too. Charmy looked at his room with a smile.
"That was too easy"
He then left the room only to stop in the middle of the hallway to look at door with a sign on it that said 'Do Not Enter'.
"Espio room…he doesn't allow me to go in there, but Vector, he's allowed in there for only a few minutes before coming back out and having Espio slam the door on him"
He knew he shouldn't go in there…but, maybe he just take a quick peek before going too Vectors room. The bee knocked on the door and waited a minute to see if Espio would answer but nobody open door; so, with other option, charmy opened it himself and went to see what was inside.
As Charmy enter he notice that Espio wasn't around which was good for him. He found the light switch and turned it on. He then gasped at what the room looked like.
It was completely cleaned as he saw that the walls were purple along with a purple carpet and some strange stuff too. Charmy was amazed at what Espio had; there were different types of ninja weapons on the wall, a bookcase full of books and four large jars on the floor including a small purple cushion along with big pot with strange red markings on it that was in the middle of the floor.
The young detective was curious on why there was purple cushion, four large jars and a big pot with the strange red markings; were on the floor. Until something in charmy mind was telling him that he shouldn't be in there. So charmy nodded his head and left the room.
He closes the door and breathed air in his lungs.
"Espio is weird, what's with all that stuff on the floor…oh well, not problem, now to go to Vectors room" He went down the hallway and entered Vectors room.
He saw that the Crocodile room was also a mess like his…so he started picking things up and tossed them in the closet. Then he closed the closet door as it was completely full and went to go find something to do while completely forgetting about the ten dollars that Vector promised him.
Vector was reading a food magazine while enjoying the quietness to himself; it rarely happened but today was a day that didn't involve a bee annoying him to madness or a purple chameleon giving a meditation in his office.
"Speaking of a purple chameleon…where's Espio, he's been gone since morning and its almost the afternoon"
All of a sudden, a loud thud was heard from upstairs.
"That sounded like the door to the attic…guess charmy's wondering up there again," he got out of his chair and left the office "I better go get him before he messes up the attic again or goes through my personal stuff"
Up in the attic
Charmy was looking at all the stuff that was in the attic; lots of boxes, a couple old fans, several boxes with files in them from previous cases, a few broken headphoneset and lots other that charmy couldn't recognized. He walked around a bit before noticing an opened box.
"Wonder what's in here," he started rummaging through the box and started to throw things out "newspapers, pencils, wooden sword, empty jar of pickles, and a picture of Vector love interest, gloves, paper and pens" he threw the box over his shoulder and pulled the next one to him.
"Next one…rotten milk, some of Vectors 80's cds, microphone, collectable headphones set, radio, old lamp, goggles, some pictures of our friends, Vectors hair tonic and…what's this Vector diary, oh this ought to be good"
Charmy started reading the diary.
Dear Diary,
Yesterday was terrible, I told Charmy to stay away from my car and what does he do…he tampers the brakes and I ended up crashing into a electronic store…good thing no one saw me or else I would've had to pay for the damages.
Charmy started to laugh "oh, that day was so hilarious…wonder what else Vector wrote" he read the next entry.
Dear Diary,
Espio is starting to freak me out lately…last night, I saw him speaking Japanese to the mirror, I swear, that chameleon should just speak English or else I'm going to go insane"
Charmy read the next entry.
Dear Dairy,
Charmy isn't feeling well lately after he tried Espio grass tea…I don't know why charmy drank that but after that incident with the soda pop, I just know charmy will beg for some water.
Charmy clutch his stomach while remembering that day he got sick.
Dear Diary
Espio is at it again, caught him speaking Japanese to the mirror again and not only that Charmy is asking me a lot of questions about Espio speaking Japanese; those two drive me crazy sometimes"

Dear Diary
Caught charmy in the fridge eating a midnight snack; I was going to punish him but I was hungry too, so I let it slide…that bee sure knows how to make a guy hungry"

Dear Diary
Espio has totally freaked me out now; just a couple hours ago, he went to go get his eyes check and when he came back…his eyes were a different color, they were dark red; I freak out at first but he told me they were contact lens and he spent five hundred dollars on them but I didn't believe him, so I played along for awhile until charmy broke one of the windows with a baseball bat for no reason.
Charmy was now at the next entry.
Dear Diary,
I could never believe it when I saw it; Espio had strange markings all over that were glowing red and he was speaking Japanese again to the mirror. Charmy saw him, asked him a question and suddenly…Espio grabbed Charmy by the throat and tossed him out the window…right after that, Espio collapsed to the floor and woke up several hours later…I told him what he did and guess what, he just stared a me for a few seconds and walked away without even caring…whatever his problem is I hope he apologizes to Charmy.

Dear Diary
I don't how to describe this, but Charmy is avoiding Espio now after that incident a few days ago…I don't know what's going on with that Chameleon but I can tell he doesn't trust Charmy for some reason…I don't know why, but I hope those two can sit down and talk to each other before something else happens and speaking of happens; I better go stop charmy from ordering 50 pizzas again.
Next entry
Dear Diary,
Charmy and Espio aren't talking to each other lately, I tried to get charmy to talk to Espio but instead he stung me in the eye and went upstairs. I then tried to get Espio to apologize to Charmy; he said he'll think about it and then he punched me in the jaw before heading outside to meditate. Those two better get along or else I'm going to have to step in and get this straighten out.
Charmy was now at the final entry.
Dear Diary,
Espio finally apologize to Charmy yesterday but the kid didn't accept it and ran upstairs. Guess he's still afraid of him and not only that, I'm starting to get scared too because those strange red markings are starting too look like tattoos. Whatever's wrong with espio, I'm taking him to the doctor in a few weeks even If I have to drag him there. And charmy if you're reading my diary, no more Ice Cream for you.
Charmy threw the diary back in the box, hoping Vector wouldn't have seen him read it. He then heard footsteps behind him as he turned around and saw Vector walking around in the attic.
"Charmy, where are you?"
The bee quickly crawled on the floor while avoiding Vector and for no reason, Charmy grabbed a couple things that looked like books and flew down the stairs. Then for no other reason, Charmy picked up the bottom of the stairs that folded and closed the ceiling that led to the attic while leaving Vector trapped up there.
Charmy smiled as he heard the pounding from the ceiling and Vector calling for him.
"Charmy let me out of here"
"NO"
"Why"
"Because I read your diary"
"YOU WHAT"
"You're Welcome"
"When I get out of here…your in big trouble"
Charmy didn't listen to him as he looked back at the ceiling, smiling to himself before tripping on the floor and falling down the stairs.
Later
Charmy was sitting on the couch and looking at a photo album.
"Why's Espio with all these other chameleons…does he have brothers, sisters, cousins" Charmy was thinking too much that he didn't hear the door open and in came Espio, the final detective who was a ninja and almost the quiet one since he liked it being quiet.
The Chameleon noticed charmy on the couch as he slammed the door and saw the photo album fly out of the bees hands and land on the floor.
"Charmy" he said his name.
Charmy was all tense now because Espio said his name; what should he do now that Vector wasn't in the room.
Talk to Espio finally, since he apologize to him some time ago about that incident and was trying to regain his trust or just ignore him and sting him in the eye.
"Talk, Sting, Talk, Sting, Talk, Sting, Talk, Sting, Talk…yes no yes no…YES…NO…YES"
"YES," he shouted and jumped at the chameleon "ESPIO, I missed you"
Espio was surprise that charmy spoke his name as he caught him while getting hugged "Charmy, what's gotten into you "
"I accept your apology from a few weeks ago"
"What apology-!" he then realized what he was talking about?
"I see…that window incident"
He sighs in relief that Charmy forgave him and looked down at the floor to see the photo album and saw a picture that drew his attention. He threw charmy out of his hands and picked up the album. His eyes widen in shocked as he looked at the picture before throwing it aside and dashing into Vector office.
Charmy rubbed his head from the album that hit him "Espio, what was that for," he flew to the doorway to Vector office and saw Espio sitting on the floor next to his locker while holding a picture frame of someone "who are you looking at" the bee grin as he got closer to the chameleon.
"No one" Espio said as he quickly put the picture frame back in his locker and slammed it shut.
"Riiiiiiggggggghhhhhttttt," charmy nodded his head knowing that picture looked really important but couldn't tell who it was "so Espio who is it" he asked.
Espio got up "just a relative" he lies, because that picture he looked at was really important to him.
And before charmy could say anything, a loud angry familiar voice shouted through the whole house frightening charmy and scaring Espio since it surprised him.
"CHARMY…GET ME OUT OF THIS CLOSET RIGHT NOW"
"Vector" they both said and ran out of the office, up the stairs and stopped at a door.
"Hey Vector…how you are doing" Charmy asked trying to sound like he didn't do anything.
"SHUT UP CHARMY; ESPIO OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR"
The Chameleon shrugged "I don't know what happen; but it's not my problem" he reached for the door and turned the handle.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Charmy said.
"Why?"
"Because Vector will get mad at me"
"Really"
"I don't know"
"Alright th-!"
"ESPIO"
"Calm down Vector" Espio said as he opened the closet door and stuff came out.
Espio screamed as something sharp hit him right in the eye "rgh…Damn it, what?" he then lost his footing as he tumble down the stairs and landed on his face before some stuff from the closet landed on him.
Charmy saw Vector hit the floor when everything was out of the closet.
"Hi Vector"
"Charmy," he got up quickly and glared at him "why did you lock me up in the attic and why is stuff from your room in here when I specifically told you to clean your-," all of a sudden a rumble was heard that got vectors attention "what was that" he looked at the closet.
Charmy looked at the closet too then at Vector "oh, that's my candy from the Halloweens that I've been saving over the years" he smiled at Vector.
"Huh?'
Charmy sighs as he kicked the wall with his shoe as candy started coming out of the closet.
Vector screamed like a girl as he was drowned in a sea of candy that brought him down the stairs, onto Espio and through a hole made in floor from the candy that brought Vector and Espio into the basement.
"Maybe I should call the ambulances" charmy flew down the stairs and went to go find a phone.
A couple days later
Espio and Vector were back at the office after staying in the hospital for two days since they had to get lots of candy out of there stomach along with the wrappers. Both of them were in Vectors office while Charmy was in his room upstairs for causing some damage to the place.
"What are we going to do about that kid?" Vector asked as he had bandages all over him including his tail along with an ice bag on his head.
"Let him have his moments," Espio said as he was looking at the photo album that charmy found in the attic "besides what else has he done to this place" he looked up at him while a scar on his eye.
The Crocodile shivered as he looked at Espio scar that he got a couple days ago from something very sharp from the closet.
"A lot of things"
"Name one"
"He destroyed a wall in your room that had to be replace"
Espio smirked "I remember…that's one of the reasons I don't allow him in my room anymore," he closed the photo album and put it in his locker "now I must be going, I'll be back later tonight" he said as he walked out of the room.
"Where are you going…you've been leaving me alone to deal with Charmy lately?"
"Its personal and you don't need to know" Espio put on a black hooded jacket and pulled the hood over his head.
"Why don't I need to know…," his eyes widen as he received a cold stare from Espio while seeing his scar glow dark red "I mean just do-rgh" Espio threw a lamp at him that collided right into his face, knocking him to the floor and out cold.
Espio walked out of the living room before opening the front door and slamming it shut.
