Chapter Three
The dark sky seemed to almost vanish under the light of the rising sun; calm, and kind, the light intruded into the Chaotix building and lit up the living room. Espio was still on the couch, fast asleep. The other members were sleeping as well, but in their own beds and light was blocked out of their room with the use of curtains.
Besides the loud snores that came from Vectors room, a small tapping noise could be heard coming down the stairs; Aurora was trying her best to stay as quiet as she could, knowing that anyone who was woken up at 6:30 in the morning was bound to be in a bad mood.
Once Aurora was down the last step, she smiled, seeing that it was brighter than it was upstairs, and glad that Espio was still sleeping. Her blue eyes looked around and after spending a few minutes looking around she found the kitchen.
"Hm... they should have something to eat. Sure it might be a little early but they still need to have breakfast," muttered the cat as she looked through the pantry and refrigerator. She was shocked to see how low the food supplies were! There was barely anything in the refrigerator, save for a few cans of soda, tomatoes, a carton of milk, and some celery; at least it was better than the pantry which had started to collect dust and only had a few packages of ramen noodles and three different types of cereal.
Aurora's eyes were wide as she whispered, "how the heck do they survive?" She frowned and she sighed. "I suppose I'll still have to fix them up something. Even if it's not much. At least I know what I'm going to do today."
8: 30 am; that's what the clock on Charmy's nightstand read as the small bee yawned widely and sat up in his bed. He rubbed his eyes and something seemed strange. He looked at his window and realized the curtains had been pulled back, letting the sunlight get inside his room. His honey colored eyes were wide as he flew out of his room.
"VECTOR!!" he shouted out of shock as he flew into the alligator's room. Charmy froze by the horrific sight in front of him. Four words echoed in the 6 year old's mind.
"Vector's... room... is clean?!"
It was true. Just like Charmy's curtains, Vector's was pulled back to let in some sunlight, the windows were spotless, and there actually was a floor under all the crap that Vector kept. As Charmy took in this sight, Espio darted up the stairs and barged into the room.
"What's going on?! I heard a... scream... is this Vector's room?"
Charmy nodded, speechless. Vector mumbled as he turned in his bed; Espio and Charmy stayed in front of the doorway.
"Espio... pinch me! I'm dreaming!"
The purple chameleon did and Charmy yelped.
"That hurt!"
"You wanted me to do that," replied Espio as Vector yawned widely and sat up. "Morning Vector."
The alligator looked at the duo who were smiling. He scratched his head for a second and then he asked, "okay, what did you guys do?"
"We didn't do anything but see a horrific sight."
"The pantry's empty?!"
Espio and Charmy didn't even want to see that sight, and to avoid any discussion on that they shook their head.
"Nope."
"Then... why are you two smiling?"
Espio motioned around the room; Vector looked around and his jaw dropped open. He jumped from his bed and questioned, "who cleaned my room?!"
The trio looked at each other then they shouted, "Aurora!"
The Chaotix team darted toward Espio's room and saw that the room also had been cleaned, even if there wasn't anything to be cleaned at all. They then walked down the stairs and that's when they heard giggles coming from the kitchen. They walked in and were even more shocked to see their boxes of cereal out, three bowls and spoons out, and Aurora giggling.
"Uhm..."
"H-hi! Morning!"
The trio just blinked in shock. Aurora stopped giggling and she walked over to them and pushed them to their seats and motioned for them to take a seat. When they did, she went to the refrigerator and took out the carton of milk and put it in front of them.
"Wow..."
"Thanks!" cheered Charmy as he was the first one to take the milk and pour it over his cereal; honey nut cheerios.
A few minutes later, the Chaotix members finished their breakfast and just stared at Aurora as she took the bowls over to the sink and started washing them.
"Hey Aurora! Thanks!"
The pale gold cat turned off the water and looked at them with a smile, "anytime."
"Were you the one that cleaned all of our rooms?"
She nodded.
"Wow... you'd have to be a brave soul to be able to make it out of Vector's room alive."
"Shut it Charmy!" shouted Vector as Charmy laughed. Espio smirked, he had to admit, she was pretty quiet at doing all of this if Espio didn't wake up to it.
"Well if you were up since 6: 30 in the morning, you'd want to do something too."
Espio looked at Aurora, "were you really up since that early?"
She nodded and explained, "I know that people that get up early are usually in a bad mood so I stayed quiet and did a few things. Cleaned, found out a few things."
"Like?"
Aurora looked at the clock and smiled, "you've got to get to your first job at 9. Your second job starts at 2 in the afternoon and then you've got your last job which will go on until 7 at night."
They jumped from their seats and they shouted, "WHAT?!"
"Yea. If I were you guys I'd hurry."
Vector and Charmy were out the door before Aurora finished her sentence. Espio nodded, "okay. Thank you."
"Anytime. I'm not even done here yet. I'll be around, probably buying more food and so on."
"You might want money for that."
Aurora sweatdropped, "I... forgot about that. Don't worry though, I've got an idea!"
Espio raised an eyebrow and Aurora grinned, "trust me on this. Just don't do anything okay?"
The purple chameleon shrugged and replied, "whatever you say," before he quickly darted out of the front door and left the cat by herself.
She then took out a very long list of supplies that Team Chaotix needed, and other things she needed to do. She looked at the safe in the corner of the living room. She walked over to it and shook her head, "I won't need the combo yet. Not until I've helped a little."
She made sure her guitar was strapped to her back and fixed her fur so she didn't look as bad as she thought she did. Aurora looked at her things to do and she swiftly made her way out of the small rental building; a smile was written on her face as she walked toward a small studio.
