I own nothing.

Through The Ages: Part Six

Sonic paced in front of the fire in the living room anxiously. His eyes kept darting to the clock every few seconds while Amy remained motionless on the couch, staring at her magazine, but not really reading it. Sonic glanced at the clock again as the minute hand shifted from eleven minutes past twelve to twelve minutes past. He sighed in frustration, but also with a hint of worry as he stopped pacing to tap his foot impatiently.

"Will you stop fidgeting?" Amy begged her husband. "You're driving me insane."

Sonic walked over and collapsed onto the couch next to her. Amy sighed and twisted around to lean her head against his shoulder, taking his hand tightly in hers, gently caressing it with her thumb as she sensed that he was just as stressed as she was.

"Our kids are going to drive me insane." Sonic growled out. "Where the heck have they got to?"

Amy rolled her eyes. "You know what they're like."

"And I know what the evil of the world is like." Sonic replied, his voice shaking slightly. "Anyone could go after Dodge and Aura, especially if they wanted to get to me! They can't keep staying out like this at late hours."

"I'm sure they're fine, Sonic." Amy tried to reassure herself more than Sonic.

They both fell silent as they heard the front door quietly open. The sounds of footsteps sneaking in made their ears perk up at the sound of the heavy boots on the hard wood floor. Sonic disappeared out of the room in a blur, appearing in front of his son faster than the teenage boy could blink. Dodge's eyes widened slightly before his shoulders sagged in defeat and he stared down at the floor.

"Seriously?" He moaned quietly.

"You actually thought you could get away with this?" Sonic gasped in astonishment. "You know I don't rest until you're home safely. Where's your sister?"

Dodge shrugged. "How should I know?"

Sonic frowned impatiently. "What have you been doing? Where've you been?"

"Calm down, dad." Dodge sighed, rolling his eyes at how he felt like his father was blowing all of this out of proportion. "I was only out on a date."

"A date?" Amy questioned as she walked into the room with her arms folded and a stern expression on her face. "You never said that you were going on a date with Ruby again?"

"Ruby?" Dodge repeated in confusion. "We broke up last week, keep up mom."

Amy sighed in frustration. "So who is it this time?"

"Her name is Sandy and she's beautiful and funny and amazing." Dodge explained with a dreamy look on his face. "I think she's the one for me."

"That's exactly what you said about the last five girlfriends." Sonic rubbed his forehead in irritation.

Dodge smirked and flicked his blue-green quills back. "What can I say? The ladies can't resist me."

Sonic and Amy both exchanged an annoyed glance before glaring back at Dodge.

"That's it, you're grounded." Amy declared.

"What?!" Dodge gasped. "Come on, mom! That's not fair!"

"You broke curfew so now you're being fairly punished." Sonic snapped.

Dodge looked down sulkily before his head snapped up and he smirked. "Would I be let off the hook if I told you that Aura was sneaking in through the kitchen window right now?"

"What?" Both Sonic and Amy gasped.

Sonic ran as fast as he could into the kitchen, just in time to catch Aura climbing through the kitchen window, her flowery summer dress dancing around her legs in the slight draft. She closed it behind her before she turned around and gasped at the sight of her very angry looking father waiting for her.

"Hey, dad." She greeted and waved happily. "How are things?"

"Inside. Now." Sonic ordered and Aura sighed, pouting as she made her way into the living room where Amy had already forced Dodge onto the couch. Amy pushed Aura down too who turned to glare at Dodge.

"You little snitch." She hissed at him.

"My social life is more important than you running around until stupid o' clock at night." Dodge growled back and they both elbowed each other.

Sonic and Amy both stood in front of the couch, glaring down at their kids.

"And where have you been, spitfire?" Sonic asked Aura who bit her lip, trying to repress a smirk.

"Out."

"Aura, this isn't funny." Amy snapped.

"It kinda is." She whispered and now Dodge was finding it hard to stop himself from laughing.

"This is very serious!" Sonic yelled, folding his arms across his chest. "We don't enforce rules on you for the fun of it. They're there to protect you. Anything could've happened and do you have any concern for how worried your mom and I have been? Now Aura, where have you been?"

Aura sighed, playing with her fingers as she stared at her lap. "I was just out running when I ran into Eggman and thought it would be funny to tease him, that's all. It's not like he can do anything to me at his age. At least I don't care about my latest date all the time." She stuck her tongue out at Dodge who returned the gesture, childishly.

Sonic laughed at the mention of teasing Eggman. "That's my spitfire." He said before turning serious again. "But I'm still grounding you and no being horrible to your brother either."

"This is so unfair." Dodge groaned as he leaned back into the couch and Aura nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, well if you don't behave for the next few days, we'll just have to extend the grounding punishment." Amy stated, glaring at them before nodding towards the stairs. "Now go to bed."

Dodge and Aura both sighed, muttering their goodnights as they got up and walked past their parents who watched them, making sure they were heading towards where they were supposed to be. They listened as they heard their bedroom doors click shut before they both collapsed back onto the couch.

Sonic and Amy loved their children with everything they had, but honestly they could be such hard work sometimes. But then again they knew that being the children of two famous world heroes couldn't be easy for them either. They often felt guilty about how protective they had to be of them sometimes, but any enemy could use them to their advantage and neither Sonic nor Amy could stand the thought of that happening. Dodge and Aura were too precious to them. They just hoped that the twins understood that and stopped pushing the limits of their parents' tempers.

"Kids." Both Sonic and Amy said at the same time before chuckling together and wrapping their arms tightly around each other in a tight embrace.
