Sonic short stories #1

~Nikki meets Kyoko~

Nikki p.o.v. (Nikki is 5 years old, mind the baby talk and lack of correct spelling/grammar)

"Come on dad pwease!?" I whined to my dad. I really wanted to go play in the forest. The trees are such pretty colors in the fall.

Sonic is my dad. He told me that he was the fastest thing on earth. "Alright. Ames, I'm taking Nikki to the forest. She wants to see the leaves."

I pulled on his finger, "Come on daddy! I want to see the pwetty puple leaves!"

He laughed, "What color are the leaves."

I jumped up at his face and said "Puple!" I landed and ran around his legs to push his butt to the forest.

He turned around and picked me up. "No, the leaves aren't purple, they're orange, yellow and red."

I was confused. I didn't know how to say those words. "Owanage? Yemmow? Wed?" I cant say my R's yet, I'm only five.

"Yeah," my dad chuckled again, "you are such a handful, just wait until you get your powers, if you ever get them."

I jumped onto his back, "Oh! Will I be able to wun as fast as you?"

He looked into my eyes, a smile on his face, "You know, Nikki, you just might." He grabbed me off of his back, "Now, let's go."

He held me like I was a baby again and dashed off into the forest behind our house.

I love the fall, and going on runs. Especially together. The way my dad runs makes all the colors of the trees and the leaves blend together to create one big mix of yellows and browns, with hints of red smeared across the whole thing.

We stopped by the pond. It had a thin layer of ice covering it. I couldnt wait till winter to skate on that frozen ice.

I jumped out of Daddy's hands and stumbled over to a huge pile of leaves, "Daddy! Watch me!" I looked at him to see if he was looking, and he winked and gave me a thumbs up.

I turned back to the pile and I jumped.

"Owwch!"

I jumped back from the pile. I landed on someone. She didn't sound much older than me.

My dad came running up and checked my arms for injuries, "Are you alright? What happened?"

I brushed him off and pointed to the leaves, "That wasn't me, Daddy, it came from the leaves!" I waddled back over to the pile and pushed a few leaves out of the way.

I was right, she was my age. But she was a... sloth?

I grabbed her hand and pulled her up, "Hi I'm Nikki. Whats your name?"

She shook my hand away from her and quietly said, "Kyoko."

My dad nelt down next to Kyoko and I, "Do you have a family?"

The strange girl shook her head.

I looked at my dad, "Can we keep her?"
