Sid's life- chapter 3: Introducing Scarlet
The next day, Sid woke up on the floor and saw that Jewel was still asleep in his bed. He looks at his clock and it reads 1:47. He gets up and goes downstairs and finds Rosy already up. "Good afternoon Sid." She says to him.
"Hey Rosy." He sits down on the couch. "Did Jewel sleep in your room? Because I didn't see her in her room." She asks him. "Yeah, she did."
Sid rubs his head and lays down. Meanwhile Jewel jumps on him. Sid groans in pain.
"You left me!" She yells at him. "You're old enough to sleep by yourself." He picks her up and holds her upside down.
She screams. "Put me down!" Rosy comes in the living room. "Knock it off you two. Especially you Jewel." "Ok mom" Sid then puts her down.
Jewel pouts at Sid. "Meanie." He flicks her forehead. "You jumped on me first." He gets up and grabs a box cutter and goes back to his room.
He grabs his jacket and sets it out on his bed and grabs one of the sleeves. He then cuts into his jacket sleeve and cuts pieces off. He then does the same with the other sleeve.
When he's done, he goes back in the living room with his jacket on. Now Fiona and Scourge are up and in the living room and Scourge, Fiona, Rosy and Jewel see him.
"What happened to your jacket?" Fiona asked him. "Trying to make it look like dad's. Minus the flames." He then grabs his sunglasses.
Scourge looks at him. "You didn't need to do that you know. But I still like that your much like me." He grins showing his sharp teeth.
"I'm heading out for awhile mom. I'll be back later." Sid says. "Alright, be safe. I love you."
"Love you too mom." He leaves and walks to the park and sits on the bench. After awhile he hears a familiar voice call him. "Hi Sid."
He looks up and sees Scarlet walking up to him. "Hey Scarlet. How you doing?" She sits by him. "I'm ok. Were you waiting for me?"
"Maybe." He puts his glasses over his eyes. "I'm disappointed. At first I thought you were. Maybe I was wrong." Scarlet says to him.
"I'm just messing with you. I was waiting." He smiles. "Aww, that's sweet."
Scarlet is wearing her classic gray headband and is wearing a purple crop top and black pants. "Are you sure you want to come by?" Sid asks her.
She looks at him. "Of course I do. I want to meet your family." She smiles at him. He rubs his neck and groans a bit. "It's a little complicated at where I live. You'll know what I mean when we get there."
She tilts her head a bit. "You got me curious now." She stands up and stretches her arms. "Are you just going to sit there or ate you going to show me where you live?"
He puts his sunglasses on and gets up. "Let's go then." They start walking in the direction of his house.
Before they get to his house. A familiar group walks in their path and Sid recognizes them immediately. "What are you jerks doing here?"
The leader pulls a pocket knife out of his pocket. "Cutting off any loose ends. Unfortunately, you're a loose end to us right now."
Sid clenches his fists. "I took you and your cronies out before and I'll do it again."
One of them rushes at him trying to punch him in the head but Sid slips back and counters by punching him in the stomach then kneeing him in the face.
The other two grab him by his arms and twist them but Scarlet grabs one in a chokehold and Sid gets the other off of him.
As soon as he does he roundhouse kicks him knocking him down then snaps his arm in the opposite direction and he scream out in pain then Sid stomps on his head knocking him out cold.
He then knocks the other one out with a hard punch to the jaw which could have knocked a tooth out. He then looks at Scarlet who let go of the unconscious hedgehog.
"Behind you Sid!" She calls out. Sid turns around and gets slashed on his left eye. He groans in pain and covers his eye. The hedgehog then has the blade at Sid's throat.
"Make a move girl and he's done for." Sid then tries to move the hedgehog's arm which he is having difficulty with. "Now Scarlet!"
She listens and Sid headbutts the hedgehog and Scarlet punches the hedgehog in the face breaking his nose. He drops to the ground and had blood flowing from his nose. Sid looks at him with a death glare and shows his teeth which looks like his father's.
Sid looks like he's going to kill the hedgehog and Scarlet holds him back by grabbing and holding his arm. He then just kicks him in the face and leaves him there unconscious. He covers his eye again and he is very thankful that he can still see out of it.
They reach his house and they walk in and Jewel is the first one to see them. She sees her brother covering his eye. "What happened Sid?"
"He got cut on the eye." Scarlet answers. "How did that even happen?" Jewel asks.
"He got into a fight with these guys that go to our school." Jewel runs to get her mother.
Scarlet looks at Sid. "Keep pressure on that." Rosy comes in and takes a look at his eye. Jewel tells Rosy what happened and she cleans it up so it doesn't get infected and it's not deep enough to require stitches but will leave a scar.
"Do you want an eyepatch or no?" She asks him. "No, thank you though." He gets up and goes in the living room.
"This is Scarlet, she goes to my school." He says introducing her. "Hi." She says.
"Hi there, I'm Rosy and this is my daughter Jewel. Say hi Jewel." Rosy says. "Hello."
Scarlet looks at Jewel. "You are adorable. You have a very beautiful daughter miss." Jewel giggles at the compliment that Scarlet gave her.
"Thank you, you are lovely yourself." Scarlet blushes a bit. "Thank you. Are you Sid's mother?"
"Oh no, I'm not." Rosy answers. "I'm sorry miss, I thought you were." Scarlet apologizes.
"Is my dad home?" Sid asks. "No he's not." Rosy answers. "Great.." He says sarcastically.
Scarlet looks at him. "Will you show me around please?" Then she looks at Rosy. "If it's ok with you." Rosy nods smiling.
Sid and Scarlet get up and she follows him all around the house and backyard. They stay outside for awhile in the back.
"Why did those punks even start messing with you Sid?" She asks him out of the blue. He stays quite for a bit. "I don't even know. Since the very first day of school, they started to pick on me."
Scarlet rubs the back of her neck. "The guy that cut your eye... he was my ex..." She said in a low sad voice. "You're ex? That explains a lot." Sid said looking away.
"He thinks that he could keep anyone away from me because he still treats me like I'm his property. He's been doing so for awhile and it made me depressed that I couldn't meet anyone new. I couldn't have friends or anything without him finding out and him hurting them." She says with tears forming in her eyes. "After he does they come top me and say that they can't be friends with me anymore because they're scared of what he'll do to them."
She looks at the ground then holds his hand. He doesn't notice this yet because he's lost in thought. What breaks him off his deep thinking is when she rests her head on his shoulder.
"I guess that makes me the first person that actually stood up to that sadistic punk, huh?" She nods. "I'm sorry that this happened to you. I feel like it's my fault somehow." He looks at her.
"It's not your fault Scarlet. Whatever he's done was his own actions, not yours." She nuzzles against him.
He stays stiff for a moment then relaxes after a bit. "Let's go back inside." He says. They get up and go back inside. He sees a note that says that Rosy and Jewel went out for a bit.
"Well, we're on our own. They went out." Sid said throwing away the note. Both of them stay silent for a bit. "What do you feel like doing?" She asks him.
"We could either watch something or play video games." He suggests. "I prefer video games."
They go up to his room and he turns everything on and lays out the games he has. "Pick which one you want to play."
She picks one out and he puts it on. They keep playing for half an hour until Rosy and Jewel come back. "Sid, we're back."
"Pause it real quick, I'll be back." He says getting up and goes back downstairs. Rosy sees him. "What are you two doing?"
"Not much, just playing a game." He says. "Are you sure that's the only thing you two were doing?" Rosy says slyly.
"Yes!" Sid says loudly with his face turning red a bit. Jewel laughs at him because she likes seeing him embarrassed.
"Do you know when dad will be back?" He asks. "Shortly. Apparently they went to see Miles and the rest of their old group."
"Miles huh? I wonder how he's doing." Sid says. He got to know Miles well when he was young and became friends with him.
Sid goes back upstairs and sees Scarlet playing without him. "Care to take a break and come back down?" He suggests. "Sure." She turns it off and walks with him back downstairs.
Soon as they do Jewel jumps on Sid. "Really Jewel?" He gets her off of him. Do you want to stay for dinner Scarlet?" Rosy asks.
"I wouldn't want to be rude. So yes." She says. "Alright then. Make yourself at home them."
A few minutes passed and Scourge walked in. "Daddy!" Jewel gets up and hugs him.
"Hey everyone." Scourge says. He then sees Scarlet. "Who's this?"
Sid stands up and so does Scarlet. "Dad, this is Scarlet. Scarlet this is my dad"
"Pleased to meet you sir." She says. "No need to be formal, just call me Scourge." He says.
Her eyes go wide. "Scourge? As in Scourge the hedgehog?" She asks. He nods and lifts up his sunglasses. "Not to be rude, but I hope that your a crazy fan girl."
"Oh no, I just heard about you. Just a small fan, not the one who geeks out and asks their idol to marry them." She chuckles nervously.
Scourge looks at Sid and sees his eye. "What happened? Did you get into a fight or something?" Scourge asks him. Sid nods. "I'm just glad I can still see out of it." He says. "You really are your father's son, Sid." Rosy says.
Rosy takes Scourge out of the room. Scarlet looks at them then back at Sid and Jewel. "Did I say something wrong?" Scarlet asks. Jewel shrugs. "I'm sure you didn't." Sid says.
In the backyard
"Where's Fiona?" Rosy asks him. "She stayed back to help out Miles. I was going to go back for her in in a minute."
Rosy looks at him with a serious look. "You couldn't have just brought her back when you came?" "It's no big deal for me. I could get her and come back in a second or two."
"Whatever you say Scourge, let's go back inside."
Back with the others
Scarlet is playing with Jewel and Sid is laying on the couch watching them. They then see Rosy and Scourge come back in. "I'll be back in a second." Scourge says.
"Ok dad." Sid says. He then goes back to his room and lays on his bed. Scarlet and Jewel follow him to his room. "What you doing?" They both ask him.
"Nothing." He replies. Scarlet is rubbing her arm and looks at the floor. "Hey Sid?" She calls for him. "Yeah?" She then fidgets with her fingers. "Do you think that I could maybe stay the night here...?" She asks nervously.
Sid's eyes shoot straight open and he looks at her. "Ummm...I think you're gonna have to ask my dad or Rosy." Then he mumbles to himself. "Or my mom." "What was that?" Scarlet asks him.
"Nothing." Then he hears the door open and close. "Speak of the devil. Come on, I want to introduce you to one more person."
Then all three of them go back downstairs and see Scourge with Rosy and Fiona. Sid sneaks away from Scarlet and Jewel and goes up to Fiona. When she sees him she hugs him. "Hey mom." He says hugging back. "How was your day?" Fiona asks him. "It was so so. I want you to meet someone."
"Tell me what happened to your eye first." Fiona demanded. "I got into a fight and someone slashed my eye." He replies. "Can you still see out of it?" Fiona asks. "Yes." He says.
He walks back to Scarlet and Jewel with Fiona. "Mom, this is Scarlet. Scarlet this is my mom." Sid says introducing them. Scarlet stands there awestruck and if her jaw could drop to the ground it would. "Your mother is Fiona Fox?" She asks him.
He nods. "You heard of me?" Fiona asks Scarlet. "Heard of you? I know about you, Scourge and the rest of the Suppression Squad." Scarlet says. She then thinks for a minute. "Then the Rosy I just met is..." "The infamous Rosy the rascal." Fiona finishes Scarlet's sentence.
"But...but...she doesn't seem insane though. She actually seems nice." Scarlet says. "That was before kid, years can change people. Well, most people." Fiona says.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Fiona. I really look up to you." Scarlet says. Fiona smirks her casual smirk. "It was nice to meet you too." Scarlet looks at Sid. "A word please." She says in a demanding manner.
The both of them go back to his room. "If Fiona is your mom, and Jewel is your sister but is Rosy's daughter. Does that mean that Scourge is both yours and Jewel's father?" He nods. "Yes." She thinks for a moment. "Does Fiona and Rosy both live here?" "Did I tell you that my household was a little complicated?" He asks her.
"So that's what you meant." She shakes off the thought and hugs him. "As long as you don't see any other girl, I don't mind this." She says to him. He stands there like a stiff board then he hugs her back.
There is a knock at his door and Fiona walks in. "You're not up to anything are you?" She asks them. Both of their faces turn red. "No, we weren't doing anything!" They both say at the same time.
Fiona laughs. "I'm just messing with you two." Scarlet looks at her. "Miss Fiona, is it okay if I can spend the night here?" "Don't you have to go home?" Fiona asks her. "My parents are barely home, so they wouldn't mind if I'm gone for one night."
"Do you gave any night clothes or clothes for tomorrow?" Fiona asks. Scarlet shakes her head no. "How about I let you borrow a pair of mine?" "I would appreciate it miss Fiona." Scarlet says.
"I'll be right back." Fiona leaves the room and goes to the master bedroom and looks through her drawers to find something for Scarlet to wear. 'She'd make a great girlfriend for my little boy' She thinks to herself.
She grabs a pair of gray pajama pants and a white undershirt and goes back to Sid's room. "Here you go. Try it on to see if it fits." Fiona leaves the room again. Scarlet picks up the clothes Fiona got for her.
"Can you leave so I can change? I don't want you peeping on me." Scarlet says to Sid slightly teasing him. He walks out and heads downstairs and sees the others on the couch. He then walks into the bathroom to look at his eye.
After a few minutes, Scarlet sneaks up behind him and wraps her arms around him. "Do they fit?" Sid asks. "Yes." She replies.
She lets go of him and Sid looks at her. She was right when she said they fit but they also show off her curves a bit. He looks away blushing a bit. "I have a spare mattress in my room if..." Scarlet cuts in. "I'm taking your bed if you dont mind." "I don't mind."
Then the both of them go back into the living room with the others. A few hours go by and it's late at night and Jewel is already in her room asleep with Rosy. Scourge and Fiona are asleep in their room
Sid and Scarlet are still in the living room. "I'm bored." Scarlet says. "Want to go back up to my room then?" Sid asks her. "Yeah." Then the both of them turn off the TV and go to his room. Scarlet lays on his bed and he lays on the mattress on the floor. "Want to play a little longer or do you want to do something else?" He asks.
"Something else please." "What do you feel like doing?" She thinks for a moment. "Just put on a movie or something to pass the time." He does that and just lays there. Scarlet then breaks the silence between them. "Can I be honest with you?"
"Sure." "The last time I spent the night at a guys house, when we were alone in his room... he tried to make a move on me and we just barely knew each other." She says.
"Are you talking about your ex?" He asks. She nods. "Trust me, I'm not gonna do anything that makes you uncomfortable." He says. 'You're so caring Sid, that's one thing I love about you.' She thinks to herself. She smiles.
A few minutes go by and Scarlet falls asleep. He doesn't know she's asleep and few more minutes go by and he tries to talk to her. "I have something to tell you Scarlet, but I'm not sure how to say it." He looks at her and finds her asleep. He smiles and stares at her for a bit.
'I have a crush on you Scarlet, I'll tell you one day.' He thinks to himself before turning everything off and goes to sleep.
