Why is she staring at me?
Sonic had entered the room assigned to him by Areeta. Since they were helping her, she offered them to stay in some rooms she had on hand and they accepted. The rooms were pretty nice, all of them had windows to see outside and their own bathrooms. Since some rooms were made more than one person, some of them decided to share. When Sonic came into the room, he didn't expect to see this.
Crouched on his bed was the skunk that was released from the creation room earlier. She had been vaccinated so she was allowed to go about as she wished. She had begun to wander aimlessly around the building, eventually ending up in one of the bedrooms, or to be more specific, Sonic's room.
"Well, isn't this a nice surprise," said Sonic.
He walked over to the girl watching him and held his hand out to her.
"Hi I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hegdehog."
For a moment, the girl looked at his gloved hand...before she completely ignoring it and leaned in closer to Sonic over the edge of the bed. Her face was only about 2 inches from his. The whole time, their eyes were locked together, him unable to look away, and her refusing to. As she got closer, Sonic had to wonder if he was meant to be a love interest for her why she showed up here and was acting like this.
Finally, she stopped coming closer and...proceeded to sniff him, starting from around where his neck should've been, making sure she memorized the scent of the person before her. Satisfied, she pat his twice on the cheek with a blank expression and left the room without a word.
Sonic stood frozen in place before uttering, "What the heck just happened?"
"Areeta, did you make one of your OCs a pervert?"
"Sonic! Why would you ask that?!" chastised Amy.
Areeta looked up from the book she was reading. "What happened?" she asked.
"I found her in my room and she began sniffing me around my neck area," said Sonic.
"Ooo, I didn't think you'd make someone like that, Areeta," said Rouge, who had been sitting on the couch by me.
Areeta let out a small laugh. "Oh, sorry about that. After their vaccinations, they were let out to explore their new home. I didn't expect them to wander into your rooms. And Sonic, I believe you have just discovered one of my creIQation's special abilities."
"Really!?" said Sonic.
"Which one is it?"asked Amy.
Areeta took out her handheld monitor, went to the skunk's profile, and selected the special abilities icon."Here, keen sense of smell," she said, showing the monitor to the three Mobians.
"Don't worry Sonic, she's not a pervert. She's just in a new place with new people and wants to get to know her surroundings. One way of doing that is through scent."
"Well that's interesting," said Rouge.
Areeta continued to click through the options until she was at the Relationship screen.
"Oh good Sonic, she's added you to her relationships."
"When did she do that?" He asked.
"When she was in your room, was she staring at you?"
"Yeah. It was weird. It was like as soon as I locked gazes with her, I couldn't look away."
"That's when she added you to her relationships. Earlier today when I released my creations, the butterfly did the same thing to Cream. During these weeks before their completion, in order to be acknowledged as a person they must interact with, you need to keep eye contact with them for 20 seconds. Since I don't feel like repeating this, can you guys please tell this to the others?"
The three nodded. Just as we about to return to what we were doing, we heard loud shouting down the hallway.
"WHY WON'T YOU GET OFF ME?!"
Into the room came Vector. Gripping on for dear life on his snout was the blue-eyed butterfly. Her arms were wrapped around the top part of his mouth, so while he was yelling, Vector had to be careful not to injure the young girl with his teeth.
Vector continued to shake his head around, trying to throw the girl off, but she held on tightly.
Areeta jumped of the couch with a start. "Vector, stop! You'll hurt her!"
Vector didn't hear her and continued to try to get the little girl off, but every time he tried, her grip tightened.
Frightened for her creation, Areeta ran forward and tackled Vector, knocking him to the ground easily, as his focus was on the butterfly on his snout.
As Vector laid with his eyes closed on the ground, the butterfly stared at him curiously before she raised her hand and slapped him in the face.
His eyes opened and flashed with anger. "Why you little-"
Instead of reacting, she stared intensely into his eyes. After twenty seconds, her grip around his snout loosened and she stepped off of him onto the ground. She then turned to her master who had gotten off Vector and was watching her.
Areeta put her hand to her head and sighed in exasperation. "Was all that really necessary?" She glanced at her handheld monitor. "Well, at least you now have your determination."
