Hey, guys. Since I've read some reviews from my previous stories of Hex and Espio, I decide to do a story of them for those that are big fans of Hexpio couple. And maybe Aarib will be there too, probably. Sonic characters belong to SEGA.
Hex the Cobra belongs to me.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was now the beginning of December 2014 and it sure was gonna be a cold weather this year in Station Square.
Espio was at the Detective Agency's office, warming himself up near the fireplace and having a hot cocoa with his cobra girlfriend.
"Mmm, it feels great being inside from the bitter cold" Espio said.
"Yeah, cold is not good for cold-blooded mobians like us, I must admit it feels great that Silver made a truce that he won't bother us" Hex said. Espio nods and takes a sip from his hot cocoa. Hex had marshmallows in hers.
Just then, Vector the Crocodile came in from the snow weather.
"Hi guys, I got something for you two" Vector said, he hung up his jacket and walks up to them.
"And what is it, boss?" Espio asked him. Vector smiled and shows an invitation to Cairo.
"What's this?" Espio took the invitation letter and reads it.
"It's a one week vacation for two people" Vector explained to him. Hex gets up and checks it too.
"Wow, I miss Egypt so much" Hex sighs but was happy.
"Hmm…..I've never been to Egypt but it would be nice to go there for the first time. Well, the second time" Espio smirks.
"Your first time in Cairo" Hex added.
"The flight is day after tomorrow so you have time to pack your luggage" Vector said.
"Okay, Vector. We'll do it tomorrow" Hex said and shakes his hand.
"But what about the job, Vector? Is it all right if you and Charmy keep your job going without me?" Espio asked.
"Ah, don't worry Espio. Everything is under control" Vector pats his shoulder.
"Okay. Say, Hex. Have you ever been like a Tomb Raider before? Like treasure hunting in tombs and stuff in Egypt?" Espio asked his girlfriend.
"Well, sort of when I search in mummy free places, I hate mummies, especially when my family was once in an ancient pyramid" Hex said and quivers at the word mummy.
"Don't you worry, Hex. I'm on your side and nothing will happen to you" Espio said, rubbing her cobra hood.
"Oh, thanks Espio. I feel like a coward every time I see them" Hex said calmer.
A while later, they walk back home and it was snowing as hell.
"Good thing Tails made this special jacket for you and me" Hex said.
"Yup, but you didn't like the time when you were in Silver's body" Espio chuckled.
"Yeah" Hex chuckled too.
They arrived back to Hex's house and they discussed about the vacation for the day after tomorrow.
"So what's it like in Cairo? I mean, I know I've been there before but it was only a short time" Espio asked.
"Just fine, the markets have decorations of the ancient pharaohs and Cleopatra. The Egyptian gods like Ra and Anubis" Hex said.
"Interesting. And the famous landmarks? I only know the Sphinx mostly" Espio said.
"They also have the pyramid of Giza" Hex continues.
"Oh yes right, but I hope that no one shall bother our vacation" Espio said.
"Don't worry. Hopefully that devil cobra Aarib won't be getting out of his maximum prison that my dad put him in" Hex said.
"I hope so too" Espio said, holding Hex's hand for comfort.
"Good, he's so mean and rude. Good thing he doesn't have powers like the other mobians but he sure is a sneaky cobra" Hex said.
"Yup, but let's pack our luggage today for tomorrow" Espio said.
"Okay" Hex nodded.
The next morning, Espio and Hex got a ride by a taxi and drove to the Station Square Airport. Once they paid for their taxi, they get to the entrance and Hex pulled down her hood since it's snowing outside. But inside the airport, it was warm.
"Are you excited for this, Espio?" Hex asked Espio.
"Yes I am darling" Espio winks and follows Hex. They saw that their flight leaves in about an hour.
"We got time. Maybe some breakfast will pass the time a bit" Hex said, went to find the food court to have breakfast together.
They ordered each sandwiches and Hex had ham on her sandwich.
"You know Hex, I've heard some snake species can swallow an entire pig" Espio said. Hex chuckled and looks at him.
"Yeah, but it's only anacondas and some python snakes" Hex replied.
"True. I hope I get to ride some camels soon" Espio said, eating his sandwich.
"You sure want to? Because riding them is kinda easy" Hex said.
"I'm sure, Hex. It's like riding a horse but differently" Espio said.
Hex smirks and ran her finger on Espio's horn.
"Yes, a camel I once rode on wanted me on his back and he won't let me off" Hex snickered.
"Really? How come?" Espio chuckled.
"He was just obsessed, what a silly camel" Hex chuckled.
Much later, about 10 minutes before take-off, Hex and Espio checked the Tax-free.
Espio got some snacks for him and his girlfriend for the flight. Hex was trying some sunglasses and folded her hood to make the glasses fit her head. It was no use since she doesn't have ears.
"Oh, man" Hex sighs in defeat.
Eventually she found one's with a rubber band on. She tried them on and the fits perfectly. She paid for them and follows Espio to their flight.
"Egypt, here we come" Espio said.
The plane has lifted and Hex sat next to the window and looked out. Espio was playing on his iPhone and he played Angry Birds.
"Hehehe…..I see everyone likes that game on their iPhones" Hex chuckled.
Espio paused the game and looks at Hex.
"It's one of the most popular games, Hex" Espio said.
"Yup" Hex winks, letting him continue playing.
She ate a candy rat instead for a normal rat to not disgust the other passengers.
2 hours later, Hex felt the plane's gravity pulling down, which meant that it's going to land. Espio was asleep in his seat, so Hex gently shook him.
"Espio, wake up" Hex said.
"Huh? Wha? Are we there?" Espio woke up with a yawn.
"We are going to land, Espio" Hex tells him. Espio looks through the window and saw Cairo.
"Wow. Hello, Cairo" Espio was surprised to see this.
They landed at the AirPort and Espio and Hex felt the warm air there.
"Ah, home sweet Egypt" Hex sighs with joy and held Espio's hand. He smiled at her and they went in to get their luggage.
"Wow, it feels like summer in December" Espio said.
"Here in Egypt there's always summer" Hex said as she and Espio gets their luggage.
As they got their luggage and everything, they head outside and wait for a taxi ride.
"Which hotel are we gonna be at?" Espio asked Hex. She checked the invitation again and it says Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo.
"Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo" Hex said.
"Sounds good to me" Espio smiled. Their taxi arrives and they paid to go to Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo.
"Princess Hex, it's an honor to see you here" the taxi driver said.
"Same here" Hex said and bows.
