Chapter Ten - How Erik Met Fixer
(Begin Flashback - Erik's Writing)
Location: Forgone Forest 9 years ago...
Ages:
Erik: 6 (His birthday was a few weeks ago)
Fixer: 8 (Almost 9)
In the forest, we see Felix the Fox. He wandered from home almost a year ago, & has been living in the wild since then. So far, he has desperately been looking for someone to take care of him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest...
Location: Forgone Village - Erik's House
It was a nice, sunny day on Forgone Island. In the Main Village lived a young okapi named Erik. He has been living by himself for a year now, & so far, he was fine.
(Erik's A/N: Don't ask what happened to his parents. Let's just say they went on an expedition, & never came back)
Erik opened the front door of his house & breathed in the morning air.
"What a beautiful day." said Erik to himself. "I think I'll go explore the forest."
Erik grabbed a camera & a pair of binoculars & left his house.
A few minutes later...
Deep in the Forgone forest, Erik was taking a few pics of the animals within the area. After being there for an hour, he was about to head home, until he noticed something, or someone in the bushes.
"Hello?" asked Erik. "Is anyone there?"
No one answered. From the bushes came a young fox.
"Come on." Erik said to the fox. "I won't hurt you."
The young fox, who was about the same height as Erik (around 2 feet), came out of the bushes. Both the young okapi & fox stared at each other for a few seconds before Erik broke the silence.
"Who are you?" Erik asked the fox. "How did you get here?"
"My name's Felix." answered the young fox. "How I got here...Let's just say I left home one day, & never came back. I've been living out in the wild ever since."
"How old are you?" asked Erik.
After a few seconds of silence, Felix had his answer.
"About...8." answered Felix. "I won't be 9 until 3 weeks from now."
"Really?" wondered Erik. "I'm only 6. My birthday was only 2 weeks ago."
"Well, happy birthday." said Felix.
"Thanx." replied Erik, smiling. "So, how long have you been living out here?"
"Only a year." replied Felix.
Erik was surprised.
"A YEAR?!" yelled a shocked Erik. "YOU'VE BEEN LIVING OUT HERE FOR A YEAR?!"
Felix backed up bit from Erik's yelling, & nodded his head; small tears began to form in his eyes. After a few seconds, Felix started to cry. Erik walked up to the young fox, & hugged him. Felix was a bit surprised at Erik, but hugged him back anyway. A minute later, the two broke their hug.
"Listen." Erik said to Felix. "If you're looking for a place to stay, you can come live with me. I live in a 2-bedroom house."
Felix was surprised by what Erik said. This young okapi has agreed to let him stay at his place.
"I'll look after you for a couple years, until you're old enough to take care of the house, & me mostly...I'm only 2-3 years younger than you." said Erik.
Erik held out his hand to Felix.
"So Felix, What do you say? Wanna be roommates?" asked Erik.
A couple seconds later, Felix held out his hand & shook hands with Erik.
"Yes, Erik." replied Felix. Yes, I will."
Erik was so excited, he hugged his new best friend. Felix hugged the young okapi back.
"Wow, a new fresh start to my life." said Felix excitedly. "I think that calls for a new name, because mine doesn't sound right."
"Let's see...How about 'Fixer'?" asked Erik.
"Fixer...Fixer...I like it! "said Felix, now called Fixer. "Thanx, Erik!"
"You're welcome, Fixer." said Erik excitedly. "I'll show you where I live. Follow me."
Fixer followed Erik to his house.
A few minutes later...
Fixer & Erik managed to get out of the forest & got to Erik's house. Erik opened the front door & let him & Fixer in.
"Here's where I live." said Erik. "I hope this is okay for you. The spare bedroom is down the hall, first door on the left."
Fixer took a look around Erik's house. He then looked at the spare bedroom before turning back to Erik who was in the kitchen making lunch.
"I hope you're hungry." said Erik. "I heated up some chili dogs from last night."
Just then, the microwave beeped. Erik guided Fixer to the kitchen table & had them sit down on one of the chairs while he went & got the four chili dogs. He then carried them to the table & gave two of them to Fixer. Fixer tried a bite of the chili dog.
Then almost immediately, he ate both chili dogs instantly. Erik got a bit shocked by this. Then again, he haven't eaten this good in a year. Fixer looked at Erik, who had a surprised look on his face.
"Sorry." said Fixer.
"It's okay." said Erik. "I know how hungry you were, & you couldn't control your hunger."
Fixer smiled at Erik after hearing what he said.
A few hours later...
It was already nighttime, & Fixer & Erik were getting ready for bed. Erik guided Fixer to his spare bedroom, now Fixer's room. Erik helped Fixer get comfortable in his bed.
"Good night, Fixer." Erik said to Fixer. "Tomorrow, I'll show you around the village."
"Good night, Erik." replied Fixer.
Erik went towards the door to Fixer's bedroom. He was about to leave when...
"Erik, wait!" yelled Fixer. "I forgot to say something."
Erik turned to face Fixer.
"Yes?" asked Erik.
Fixer sat up in his bed as he looked at the okapi.
"Thanks for everything today." said Fixer. "Without you, I wouldn't survive in the forest for much longer."
"You're welcome, Fixer." replied Erik. "I hope we'll be best friends forever, & maybe brothers."
"You know what? I like that very much." said Fixer, as he started to get tired. "Good night, Erik."
"Good night, Fixer." said Erik as he closed Fixer's bedroom door.
Fixer looked around his bedroom before drifting off to sleep. He was glad that Erik took him in.
Meanwhile, across the hall, Erik was getting ready for bed himself. Before we went to sleep, he started to think about today. He was happy that he found Fixer today. As he doze off to sleep, he dreamt about him & Fixer; while Fixer did the same, dreaming about him & Erik.
This could be the start of a new friendship.
(End Flashback)
(Back to the present - grimlock1997's writing)
"And ever since Erik found me out there in the jungle, nine years go..." Fixer finished, "He's been the best friend & adoptive little brother that I've ever had."
The group, except for Slingshot, were all silent with different emotions inside of their bodies. The story that Fixer had just told them was just heartwarming & a little bit sad at the same time, since Fixer had lived on his own for one year in the jungle.
Tails was almost in tears after hearing his brother's story, while Sticks looked like she was going to faint at any moment, although Amy did most of the fainting thanks to Shift.
"Oh my gosh..." Tails sniffled, as he wiped away a tear.
"That was so wonderful!" Sticks added in.
A sudden instinct then took over the badger, & Sticks then soon found herself running up to Fixer & hugging him tightly & emotionally. Fixer blushed a bit at this, but he smiled & hugged the girl back in return. He could use the comfort right now.
"I suppose that you guys liked that story?" Erik asked to the small group.
"I sure did!" Sticks said.
"So did I..." Tails said, as he wiped away his tears.
Fixer & Sticks looked round at Tails, who was trying to smile through his almost sad looking expression. It looked like he needed some comfort too.
"Aw, come on in, Tails..." Sticks said, gesturing to him.
"There's plenty of room, bro!" Fixer laughed, while holding out his free arm.
Wasting no time, Tails immediately sprinted over to the two, & hugged his brother and Sticks, which turned into a nice emotional group hug. It's amazing how one story can bring two brothers together, & a paranoid yet caring badger in with the mix.
After a few more seconds, the three of them ended their group hug & broke off slowly. They all soon heard the sound of Amy groaning again & slowly getting up, while Sonic was returning to the group, feeling a little bit better to say the least.
"What did I miss?" Amy asked, rubbing her head.
"Uhh, it's a long story..." Sonic told her, "We'll tell you later."
A few of silence was heard, before Erik spoke up.
"Well, how about we all explore the village?" Erik suggested, "Sonic, I think you & your team will like our nice little town."
The group all got up, while Sonic helped Amy up onto her feet again.
"Sure thing..." Sonic said, "As long as we don't go flying at full speed again."
"There will be no need for flight in this tour, Sonic..." Slingshot said, "The town's quite large, & I don't intend to fly over it."
"Oh man..." Knuckles said from behind, "I liked flying at full speed. Wait a minute, we we're flying?"
Nobody said a word.
"Anyways, let's go!" Fixer announced, as he lead the group towards his & Erik's home town.
This was going to be quite the adventure for Team Sonic...
...Well, unless you don't count the crazy things & happenings from earlier, that is.
