Chapter 21
This chapter is not going to be good. Well, the first part's okay, but it'll get
worse. You'll see why.
D/N (Disclaimer's Note): Sarah the Hedgehog belongs to XT-421.
The next day, at the Chameleons' apartment, Espio knocked on her
daughter's door several times.
"Amanda," he called out. "C'mon, sweetheart, your lunch is getting cold."
There was no response except for the sound of music.
Espio shrugged and just went in the room. When he did, his ears hurt
from the loud music. The song was "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson.
Amanda was sitting near a table, singing along to the music and making
some kind of artistic craft.
The adult-chameleon tried to call her name, but she was too distracted.
Therefore, he walked over to the stereo, where the music was coming from, and
unplugged the cord. The music then died down.
Amanda realized that. "Hey!" She then saw her father with his arms
crossed. "Oh, hi, Dad!"
"Alright, I want to know two things. First off, why do you have loud
music on? And second, what are you doing?"
"Sorry about the music, Dad. It's kind of a habit. And, I'm making a doll
that looks like Nat." Amanda showed her father the blue hedgehog-liked doll with a
black jacket made out of clay on.
Espio thought it was cute. "Aw, a little Nat Doll? So, you've been making
a little gift for him with the loud music on?"
"Nope. It's for me."
Espio was confused. "Excuse me?"
"You see, it's called a stress-reliever doll. If I ever feel pressured
whenever Nat's around, I'll just be able to squeeze this guy's little guts out." She
squeezed the doll and its eyes popped out of its head. She laughed as she did it again
faster. "How great is this toy?"
Espio sighed. "Well, you'd better get downstairs now. Your mother's got
lunch ready for you."
Amanda jumped out of her seat enthusiastically. "Ooh! I hope it's tacos!"
She rushed down the stairs with her father slowly following her.
About a couple minutes later, someone began knocking on the door.
Salley opened it and recognized who it was. "Oh. Hello, Nat."
"Hey, Mrs. Chameleon," said the teenaged blue hedgehog with a
charming voice. "You look really lovely today."
"Why, thank you. And what brings you here on this fine day?"
"Is Amanda home? I'd like to talk to her."
"DON'T LET HIM IN, MOM!!" Amanda shouted from another room.
Salley sighed. "Well, we're kind of having lunch right now, but I guess
you could stay for just a few minutes."
"YES!!" Nat thought. He went inside the apartment and saw Espio and
Amanda eating in the kitchen.
"I said don't let him in!" Amanda complained. "Augh, damn it."
"Hey," scolded Espio. "Watch your mouth, young lady! I told you to not
talk like that in this household, didn't I?"
Amanda sighed. "Yes, I'm sorry."
Nat giggled. "I get that a lot from my parents too, so you're not the only
one."
Amanda just ate her lunch and said nothing.
Nat sat down. "So, what y'all eating?"
"We're having tacos, Nat," said Salley from the other side of the kitchen,
where the stove was. "Would you like one?"
"Nah. I already had lunch. I went out with my dad for some chili-dogs.
Now those rock!"
"Real nice," Amanda mumbled while secretly squeezing her stress-
relieving doll under the table.
Nat faced the cat-meleon. "So, Amanda, you doing anything after lunch?"
"Actually," said Espio, "Amanda and I are going to practice ninjitsu."
"Ooh, that sounds like fun! Can I watch?"
Espio hesitated at first, but then said, "Well, I guess that would be
Amanda's choice." He turned to his daughter. "What do you think?"
"I'd rather dunk my head in toilet bowl water filled with crap and drink
out of it than have him watch me!"
Espio and Salley were appalled to hear their daughter say something like
that.
Nat just mumbled, "Eww."
"Come on, Amanda," said Espio. "Don't be that way. Just give him one
little chance."
Amanda looked back at Nat, who grinned like an innocent little child.
She shrugged. "Oh…alright."
"Yes!" said Nat.
Amanda pointed her finger at him. "But, if you do anything to piss me off,
I will kill you! Got that?"
"You have my word as a friend, Amanda. I'll be so quiet, you won't even
know that I'm here."
Amanda knew he was lying and began to growl. She squeezed her doll
again, until Espio grabbed it from her hands.
"That's enough stress-relieving for now, Amanda," he said.
Amanda sighed. "I'll go change into my ninja suit." She got up from the
table and ran to her room to change her clothes.
After about five to ten minutes later, the cat-meleon came out of her room,
wearing her ninja outfit. She still had her gloves, shoes, and cuffs on, but she also
had on a small black top with black leather pants and a black belt with a silver buckle
on it. She didn't have her hair bands on, though.
Nat whistled in attractiveness. "Wow, Amanda. You look hot!"
Amanda just sighed. "Let's get this over with." She, Espio, and Nat
walked down the stairs until they found a room that looked like an arena. It was all
decorated in gray, weapons were hanging on the wall, and obstacles were placed
everywhere.
Espio spotted the row of bleachers at the back of the room. "Nat, why
don't you go sit on the bleachers over there?"
"Okay," said Nat, walking over to the bleachers. "Good luck, Amanda."
The cat-meleon just ignored him and walked over to the center with her
father.
"Now, remember," said Espio, "you need to put more focus on your speed
and veracity compared to last week's training."
Amanda nodded and got to her fighting position.
Espio did the same thing.
After a few seconds, they began to charge at each other, using their
special martial arts techniques to fight.
Amanda made and blocked a lot of punches and kicks. She also used
her camouflage form to sneak up and tackle Espio from behind.
Meanwhile, Nat was watching from the bleachers. He couldn't help but
admire the ways of Amanda's body movements when she fought her father.
Suddenly, his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He took it out
and saw that it said his house number. He shrugged, opened the cell phone, and
pressed the talk button. "Yo, what up?" he whispered.
When silence came in, Nat felt appalled. "Sarah?! What the hell are you
doing in my room?!"
Another silence.
"You did what?!"
Silence again.
Nat groaned. "Listen to me, Sarah, I don't care if you're so concerned
about the cigarettes in my room! You have no authority over me!"
While another silence took place, Amanda kind of caught the sound of
Nat arguing over the phone.
"I don't care what our parents say," said Nat in a mocking baby voice.
Another silence.
"Look, Sarah, I'm going to make this very clear to you. If you ever tell
Mom and Dad about this, I swear to God, I will shave all of your quills off in your
sleep!" Nat hung up the phone and mumbled, "Stupid sisters." He suddenly turned to
see Espio and Amanda staring at him.
"Nat," asked the adult-chameleon, "is everything alright?"
"Um, yeah," lied Nat. "I just had a little…issue with someone."
Espio breathed in. "Well, I'm going to take five. Amanda, practice your
meditation while I'm gone."
"Okay, Dad," said Amanda as she sat down on the floor, crossed her legs,
and closed her eyes.
After Espio left, Nat stared down at Amanda with a smirk on his face. He
slowly walked down from the bleachers behind Amanda's back.
"I know you're behind me, Nat," said the girl, still meditating.
While putting his hands on Amanda's shoulder, he said, "You know, I
have noticed how very sexy you look in your ninja outfit. Not to say this out loud, but
it really makes your boobs larger."
Amanda didn't want to hear Nat's harassment. "Shut up, Nat."
He began to massage Amanda's shoulder bones. "And those black pants,
it does make your ass seem so slim. And, you know, I just love slim female asses."
The girl was getting annoyed. "I said shut up and stop touching my
scapulas!"
Nat stopped, but moved down to her breasts. He whispered in her ear,
"Just imagine, maybe one day, I could easily pull those clothes right off and do you
nice and hard." He then harshly squeezed Amanda's breasts.
Amanda stood up with rage. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!!" She took out
her kunai and began to chase Nat everywhere, trying to stab him.
The hedgehog just smirked as he was being chased.
Just then, Espio came back and was shocked when he saw the two
teenagers. He ran towards them and grabbed Amanda.
The girl struggled to break free. "Let go of me!"
"Amanda the Chameleon, what has gotten into you?!" asked Espio
fiercely.
"Blame Nat! He kept rattling on about my body, threatened to rape me,
and squeezed my boobs!"
Espio was crossed to hear that. He saw the blue hedgehog about to tip-
toe out the door. He yelled, "Nat!"
The hedgehog stopped and turned to the angry male chameleon. He
figured he was in trouble. "Uh oh."
Uh oh is right. Looks like your parents are going to find out about this. Nat, you
are busted!
I wish everyone a Happy New Year! And Happy Birthday to my beloved father
who is now 49!
I will update again tomorrow. In the meantime, tallyho!
