"Daddy, come on! Isn't momma gonna like this?"
Finitevus smiled at the four-year-old pink echidna. She was wearing a blue dress with a beautiful white ribbon tied around the middle with white shoes.
"Yes, Finite-Na I think she will like it." He said catching up with the toddler and patting her on the head.
It was a nice two-story house, three bathrooms, four bedrooms, nice sized living room, kitchen and dining room. They had just finished moving everything in placing them in their place before Finitevus's wife and sons got home from visiting her mother.
"Come on, come on, come on!" She whined. Finitevus laughed at her.
"Alright, alright. Help me make dinner." He took the little echidna's and walked inside. It was very warm and quiet just like they liked. Finitevus walked off into the kitchen while Finite-Na went off to the living room. She stopped noticing a box sitting there.
She tilted her head in wonder. How could they forget this one? "Daddy, we forgot a box!"
She called to him. She picked it up taking it to the kitchen for her father to see it.
Finitevus looked it over. He really didn't feel like unpacking another box.
"Just take it to the attic."
"Okay."
She ran up to the third floor or the attic placing the box down on ground. She noticed something glowing red at the side of her eye. She looked to her right. The red light was tiny like in the shape of a diamond. She tilted her head in curiosity as she walked closer to the light.
"Finite-Na?" She stopped just a few more feet away from being to able to touch it. She turned around to see her father walking up the stairs but stopping just a few more steps to go.
"What are you doing, Finnie?" He asked as she turned look at him.
"I..uh..saw something." She looked back but saw nothing.
Finitevus raised an eye brow at her. "Saw what?" He asked walking up to her but looking the direction but saw nothing.
"It…was nothing I was probably seeing things." She said looking back to him smiling. He smiled back at her.
"Okay well, come down your mom and brothers will be here soon." He took her hand guiding her to the stairs. Finite-Na looked back but still didn't see the diamond shaped light.
A few hours later Finitevus was waiting at the door for his wife to come but she hadn't. He looked at the clock again. Maybe they were snowed in or something because winter did come in early where they were at the moment.
"Where is mommy?" Finite-Na looked up to her father as he only shrugged.
"I…don't know," The phone rung. "Stand right here." He walked off to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Fin this is Will-Na."
"Will-Na, where are you?" Finite-Na could hear her father in the kitchen talking on the phone. Finite-Na looked up stairs seeing that light again. She turned fully to it. She ended up tuning out her father's conversation. The light faded again as her father came back from the kitchen.
"Well, Finnie looks like we're enjoying the house by ourselves." She immediately looked to him so he wouldn't think anything was strange, which would have been hard to do the opposite when he was standing in front of her.
"Why?" She asked.
"Your mother and brothers are stormed in and it's going to be a couple of days."
"Awwww." She really wanted to see her brothers and mother reaction to the house. Finitevus chuckled patting his daughter on the head.
"Come on, let's eat before the food gets cold." Finnie only nodded but before she went to the kitchen with her father she saw that red light again but it faded once again.

Finitevus had gotten Finite-Na to bed. She wasn't going to school the next morning but he didn't want to mess up her sleeping patterns. Tomorrow he would go out to get her and her brothers signed into the school two blocks from where they lived.
"Good night, Finite-Na." He kissed her in the forehead before going to the door.
"Good night, Daddy love you." He smiled.
"Love you too, Finite-Na." He turned her light off and pulled the door a little closed leaving a crack in it.
While Finitevus went to a nice slumber Finite-Na did not. She slowly climbed out of bed holding her brown teddy bear. She quietly opened the door looking around. She saw her parents room door cracked and she heard light snoring. That would definitely change when her brothers got home. She quietly made her way to the attic looking around then that light came again.
She stared at for some time before going over to it. "Wow." She said picking up a orange fox doll with a metal bending pole stinging out its forehead and a red diamond shaped jewel on the end of it.
"Who left you here?" She said picking up the doll holding him out in front of her. She noticed the crystal started glowing again. She looked for an off switch but the doll was very light weight so it couldn't have anything like a battery of such in it.
"What can I call you?" She asked seeing if the doll could speak.
"Tails Doll." Her eyes widen.
"Did you talk?"
"Yes."
She smiled. "That is so cool." Finite-Na beamed.
Tails Doll giggled. "Can you be my friend?" Finite-Na smiled.
"Of course." She hugged the doll to her. "I will be your friend."
Tails Doll would have smiled if he could. "Awww, thank you. My last friend was taken from me."
"Awww, why?." Finite-Na said with a sad look.
"He's family was very mean, especially his parents…"
Finite-Na frowned in disapproval and then said, "Well, don't worry my parents aren't mean and they won't take you from me."
She then smiled and hugged the doll to her.
"Thank you…Finnie…"
Finite-Na put the doll back out in front of her with a surprised look. "You know my name!?"
"Yep."
"Your so cool! I hope we stay friends forever."

Finitevus wasn't really good when it came to cooking breakfast but he tried at least.
"Finite-Na, breakfast is ready!" It didn't take long for him to hear her feet running downstairs. He looked to see her running in with a purple flair skirt, purple legging with black stars printed over them with a black sleeveless sweater and black snow boots. Finitevus stared at the doll as Finite-Na sat 'him' in a chair next to her.
"Uh, Finite-Na where did you find that doll?" He asked placing her breakfast in front her. He sure didn't remember giving her such a doll.
Finite-Na didn't notice the look her father was giving the doll or the way he asked the question.
"In the attic behind some stuff. Can he have some breakfast too?" She asked looking up to the father as she chewed some of her own food.
"Sure." He made a plate with a little less of what was on Finite-Na's plate and placed it in front of the doll.
Finitevus wasn't too suspicious about it but he didn't feel completely comfortable with the doll around. He couldn't explain why he just didn't. He stood glancing at the doll every so often and drunk some more of his coffee when the door bell rung.
He went to answer it. He could make out something green through the glass in the door but not entirely. He answered that door seeing a green female duck with a short green male duck beside her. She looked at least a few years younger than Finitevus while the little boy seemed one year older than Finite-Na.
"Hello, you're the new neighbor right?" She said Finitevus looked to see she was holding an apple pie. A freshly baked one at that.
"Yes, I am. Dr. Finitevus but call me Fin." He put his hand out as she did the same shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you Dr. Finitevus or Fin. My name is Brattice this is my son Bean." She said motioning to the smaller duck. Who hid behind her.
Finitevus chuckled at him. "Who is it daddy?" Finite-Na came from him holding Tails Doll.
"Our neighbors." He said motioning to Brattice and Bean. "This is my daughter, Finite-Na."
"And this is my friend, Tails Doll." Finitevus chuckled as she put the doll out from the ducks to see.
"Well, nice to meet you both." Brattice giggled. Bean slowly moved from behind his mother looking to the doll.
"Cool doll!" He beamed Finite-Na giggled.
"I know right! And he talks too!" Finitevus looked to her with a surprised look in his face.
"You didn't tell me that, Finnie." He said. He didn't find it weird at all.
"Oh, sorry daddy." She only got a pat on the head.
"That's okay." He said.
Brattice only giggled. "Awww, she is so cute. Right, Bean?" The said male only blushed making Finite-Na giggle.
Finite-Na looked up noticing the apple pie she was holding. "Is that for us?" She asked.
"Oh!" Brattice literally forgot about it. She couldn't help but giggle at herself. "Why, yes, this is for you guys." She handed Finitevus the pie.
"Welcome to the neighborhood." Finitevus gladly took the pie.
"Thank you." He said.
"Thank you." Finite-Na said.
"Your welcome." Brattice giggled.
"Your very nice sorry my mommy and brothers isn't here to meet you." Finite-Na said.
Brattice couldn't help but giggle this little girl was the cutest thing. "Oh, that's okay."
"Why don't you guys come in?" Finitevus stepping out of the way to let them in.
Brattice looked around the well kept place. "Wow, did you decorate this place, Finnie?" She asked teasingly. Finnie giggled.
"Yes, daddy helped too." Finitevus chuckled.
For the next hour Finitevus and Brattice chit-chatted while Finite-Na and Bean played in her room with Tails Doll. Finitevus learned there was a park not too far from his house. Finite-Na loved being outside some days.
Finitevus looked at the clock making sure it wasn't getting to late to go to the school and sign Finite-Na and her brothers up.
"Well, I hate to cut this short but I need to go to the schools."
"Oh, I understand. I'll watch your daughter for you while you're gone." She said.
"Why, thanks. I won't be long." Finite-Na and Bean ran back inside the living room with Finite-Na holding Tails Doll.
"Where are you going dad?" She asked as Finitevus walked up to her and kissed her on the head.
"I am going to sign you up for school. I will be right back. Ms. Brattice will watch you."
"Okay!" She beamed. Brattice giggled watching her son and Finite-Na run back to her room.
Finite-Na tossed Tails Doll up in the air as she hopped back into bed with Bean following.
"Can that doll really talk?" The green duck asked making Finite-Na giggle.
"Yes, say hey Tails Doll." She said looking down at the doll. They crystal on its had only glowed.
Bean raised a eye-brow at it. "Why is it doing that?" He asked as Finite-Na looked over the doll to see if there was any switch on it to turn it off.
"I don't know I can't find a switch anywhere."
Brattice was walking around looking at photos of Finitevus and his family. She picked up one photo with Finitevus and an older female echidna that looked just like Finite-Na, most likely her mother. Finite-Na and a red echidna about her height and age looking just Finitevus beside him was a six year old echidna, also red. Another red echidna but a little taller than the six year old, he was at least twelve years old. The four red male echidna was at least seventeen or eighteen.
Brattice smiled. This was a big family in her book. She placed the picture down going taking a seat on the couch and reading a book. Then the female duck heard the front door open. She saved the page she was and went out of the living.
"Wow that was fast-…" She saw no one was there. She walked outside and Finitevus' car wasn't in the drive way either.
"Hmmm." She turned to go back in the house and the door was slammed right in her face. She figured it must have been the wind and tried to open it but found it was locked. She sighed and just knocked. She wanted to get back inside quickly for it was very cold.
Bean and Finite-Na heard her knocking. "I'll go answer it." Finite-Na said jumping up and running out leaving Bean and Tails Doll alone.
Bean wanted till she was gone from the room before picking up the doll and looking over it.
"I don't believe her. All you do is glow, your not so cool after all." He dropped the doll back on the bed before getting up and going over to Finite-Na book shelf.
Tails Doll diamond glowed a little brighter and the next thing Bean knew a book fell and hit him on the head. He only rubbed his head and looked at the book. He sighed placing it back. He had finally chosen a book when he turned around and a floating demon head sat right where the doll was sitting. Bean at first just stared at it not knowing what to do. Suddenly the demon head flew at him and shooting out fire. Bean screamed falling back and burping the book case. He quickly moved before the heavy books could fall on him and got up but when he looked at the doll it was slurped over and its crystal wasn't glowing any longer. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly began picking up the books. He kept looking back at Tails Doll with a nervous look. Something was wrong with that doll and he didn't like it.
Finite-Na finally answered the door and saw that it was Brattice at the door. She was needless to say, confused.
"Ms. Brattice, why were you outside?"
Brattice rubbed her arms for warmth. "I thought your father was back because the front door was open but he wasn't here. When I tried to come back inside the door closed and locked on me."
"Oh, I'll ask dad if anything is wrong with it." She said following the older duck into the living room.
"No, it's alright, it was probably already locked but then again that would leave the question in how it opened…Hmmm. Well, everything is alright now so don't worry, kay?" She said smiling at the small echidna child.
Finite-Na smiled, "Okay." She ran back up stairs to her room while Brattice sat.
The ducks thoughts went from the door to the doll. She felt something off about that doll when she first saw it but she was gladly able to not show it. She had to make sure her son wasn't around that doll.

An hour later Finitevus returned reliving Brattice of her babysitting duty. Later on that night Finitevus found out that Will-Na should be arriving back in three days or least. He sure hoped so. While he once again went to sleep without a problem. Finite-Na did not.
Tails Doll was glowing again. "What is it?" She asked looking down to him.
"Why did you want me to talk in front of that duck?" Finite-Na only looked down at the doll. She sat up and held him out in front of her.
"Because it's cool." She said. She didn't understand why he didn't see it was cool.
"But he's not my friend." She was almost taken aback from that.
"But he can be."
"I don't want him to. He doesn't like me and I don't like him. Please don't make me do that again." Finite-Na sighed.
"I'm sorry I won't." She said. She looked to his jewel seeing it glowed again. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing. Just sad."
"But why?" She asked tilting her head in wonder.
"I don't want you be taken away too." Finite-Na tilted her head again. This time in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"My last friends family took him away because they didn't like me."
"Awww, my daddy likes you."
"No, he doesn't." Finite-Na sucked her teeth in a sad tune.
"Well, don't worry. He knows I like you so he won't take you away from me."
"You promise?" Finite-Na giggled hugging the doll to her and lying back down.
"I promise."
I wanna ask if anyone of you guys got any suggestions. Please not anything off the wall crazy. Thanks!
