Flame stared at Star for a long while and sighed. The kids were mostly all asleep. Nick had fallen asleep on the rug with Brisa curled up next to him. Stevie Joe was leaned against the wall, bits of grape jelly smeared all over his face. Andy was sound asleep on the kitchen rug. Cream was silently sitting in Flames favorite bean bag chair humming to herself. The rest of the Chao awake were sitting down resting. Flame breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Cream. How could something so cute be so destructive? He shook his head and walked over to the six year old.

"Cream I need you to do something for me okay?" Flame said slowly as he reached into his pocket. "I need you to watch over the rest of the kids for a minute, if you do I'll give you a piece of candy." Flame pulled out a piece of hard candy in a shiny red wrapper and handed it to the little girl.

Cream shook her head. "I'm not allowed to have candy, but don't worry Mr. Flame, I'll watch them." Cream explained as her Chao danced around happily.

"What kind of freaky kid isn't allowed to have candy?" Star mumbled to her self, looking bewildered.

Flame smiled turned to the center of the room. His expression turned angry as he spotted Star. "Star the Vixen" He said sternly as Star looked up, worried because her full name was only used when she was in Trouble. "My office, now."

Star started to walk down the hall as Flame took a deep breath. A loud crashing sound was heard and he looked to the hall to see that she'd opened the broom closet and all his cleaning supplies were everywhere now and he knew that he was going to be the one to clean up yet another mess… "Door to the left, Star!" He could feel a migraine coming on.

Flame took a long look at his house and sighed. He walked down the hall, carefully avoiding the cleaning supplies, and to his office. He opened the door and slammed it shut. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY IS YOUR PROBLEM?" He yelled. "YOU SAID YOU CAN WATCH THE KIDS FOR FIVE MINUTES WHILE I PICK UP A GALLON OF MILK! WHAT IN THE NAME OF SONIC AND AMY HAPPENED HERE?"

Star looked up, a big cheesy grin on her face. "YAY STORY TIME!" She yelled as Flame took a seat, he might as well listen to this nonsense. "Okay so this is how it happened. I was watching the kids like you said, everyone was doing the same as when you left. So I decided to read them a story. There wasn't a Bible around here but you know you should really keep one around here I mean…"

"THE STORY STAR!" Flame yelled.

"Oh yea right…. So I found a book that said old Native American rituals."

"And that's what happened to the Chao?"

"Precisely! So then as the Chao started to play a game of Tie-Cheese-to-a-Stake, the kids wanted to play, so I gave them some toys you had lying around." Star smiled happily

"TOYS? STAR WHAT DID YOU GIVE THEM? I DON'T HAVE ANY TOYS AROUND HERE!" Flame yelled in a panic.

"Well there was a silver pen with a red button on the top, and then there was a Frisbee and a baseball bat." Star named off the objects

Flame stood up and pointed a finger at Star. "YOU LET THEM PLAY WITH DEADLY WEAPONS?"

Star pushed he finger away and sighed. "It's rude to point." Star exclaimed. "And no I didn't let them play with weapons, I let them play with a weird pen, a Frisbee and a baseball bat." She pointed out, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Flame closed his eyes and was silent. He finally got up and stared at Star. "Okay, well those were not toys…those were a laser pen, an explosive disk, and a regular BAT!" Flame yelled as he sat back down and grumbled to himself. "I can't believe this, all my stuff is ruined because of a crazy fox!"

Star tilted her head. "Who are you talking to?" She asked.

"My invisible friend Bob, WHO DO YOU THINK I'M TALKING TO!" Flame yelled his face turning a shade of red. "Just go back out there and watch the kids."

"

Wow, your face keeps changing colors. Ooh, do you take requests? Try plaid!"

"PLEASE GO AND WATCH THE KIDS!" He yelled again. As Star left the room, Flame sunk into his chair and took a deep breath. "This is going to be the death of me," Flame mumbled to himself as he got up and went to help with the kids.

Meanwhile in Eggman's secret Lab (shhhhhhh!)

Eggman crouched in front of his latest machine. Sparks flew out from the parts he was welding together. The Doctor lifted his goggles and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Eggman stood and started to admire his work. "Now I just need a few more spare parts and my Egg Boom will be complete!" He laughed. Eggman put on his goggles again and kept working on his machine. "Good thing I sent the Eggman robot to attack the city. That should keep that hedgehog busy."

"Master, are you talking to me?" A buzz bomber asked, hovering up and down in the air.

Eggman turned around and looked at the machine. "No I'm talking to my imaginary friend Bob! Now make yourself useful and get me some scrap metal!"

The buzz bomber nodded and started to fly off. Eggman shook his head and sighed. "I'm surrounded by idiots." He mumbled to himself as he got back to work.

Back at Flame's house.

Flame finished cleaning the last of the mess in the living room. He stood up and looked back at Star who was currently sitting in a chair reading a Bible. Where she got the Bible, Flame did not know. The blue hedgehog walked to the kitchen and started to put his cleaning supplies away. He looked back at Star again, who was still reading. After Flame had gotten done with putting his supplies away, he walked to the table and sat down. The hedgehog turned to Star and slammed his head on the table. He pointed a finger at Star.

"It's rude to..."

"I know!" Flame yelled his head still on the table. "Listen here, Vixen; this house is now officially clean, if you so much as make a single mess, I will put my assassin training to good use. Got it?"

"Assassin training? You got a creed?" Star asked eagerly.

"Forget it," Flame mumbled.

Minutes passed, and neither Flame nor Star said a word. After a few more seconds, Star looked to Flame. "What are you going to do when they wake up?"

"Find the highest bridge and jump."

"That sounds like fun. Then what are you going to do?"

"I just told you."

"Well if I were you I would start making them something to eat," Star pointed out. "Little kids like to eat, just like normal people. Only they eat smaller bites, because they're smaller than normal people."

"Correction, you will make them something to eat Miss Put an Ad in the Newspaper Without my Permission," Flame snapped. "And are you under some deluded impression that kids are some mutated sub-species or something?"

"Trust me; you don't want me to cook." Star pointed out as she put her Bible away, ignoring his question mostly because she didn't know what 'mutated sub-species' meant.

Flame shivered as he began to think what would happen. "Fine then I'll cook." Flame said as he got up and walked to the fridge. He stared at the contents of the fridge and looked back to Star. "What do kids eat?"

"Food."

"What kind of food Star?"

"Well, it usually has pictures of penguins or clowns on the box," Star said thoughtfully.

"I don't have anything with penguins or clowns on the box," Flame pointed out.

"We could always go to the store toge….."

"No." Flame replied. He looked at his fridge one more time then walked over to his coat rack. He pulled on a black sweatshirt and opened the door. "I'm going to go get some supplies, I don't know why I'm saying this but watch the house. When I come back there better not be a mess or else." He growled. Flame closed the door, leaving Star alone in the house again.

"I get dibs on the little toy that comes with the meal!" Star yelled after him.
