Skye
"You want me to watch Skye?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, Cream's birthday is coming up, so we need to go and get her a gift. And we figured that you wouldn't mind spending some time with your favorite nephew." Tails explained.
"Right, Amy told me her birthday was coming up. How long away was it again?" Sonic asked.
"Three days from today." Tangle said.
"Ok, so that gives me just two days to find an awesome gift…" Sonic said.
"You probably don't need to worry about that, being there will be enough." Tails said.
"Yeah, Amy said that she would be really happy to see me." Sonic said. "Guess that makes things a bit easier…"
"Right, well, we better get going then. Please try and stay hidden though." Tails said. "Remember what Knuckles said."
"Yeah yeah, I don't want to cause a panic. Don't worry, we won't be leaving your property." Sonic said. "Now get going! I still gotta go see the Chaotix later today!"
"One more thing before we go though…" Tangle said as she began approaching the hedgehog. "You harm one hair on my son's head, and there won't be a trace of you left… got it?"
"Y-yes ma'am!" Sonic said, feeling very nervous.
"Good… come on Tails, let's get going!" Tangle said before the two left.
"Have fun you two!"
And with that, they were gone.
"Ok Skye, what do you want to do fi-" Sonic started before he saw that Skye was gone.
"… Hide and seek it is I guess…"

Not too much later, Sonic, having found and caught Skye, who was a very slippery and playful child, was sitting on the couch and watching some TV with his nephew.
"Huh… guess someone decided to make a documentary about me…" Sonic said to himself.
The TV was currently showing a documentary made about the hedgehog, and was currently at the part when he had met Tails, showing some footage of the younger fox flying alongside the blue blur.
"You know, that reminds me." Sonic said to himself before turning to his nephew and pointing towards his tails. "Did your dad teach you how to fly with those yet?"
Skye just shook his head no. "Not yet. Daddy says I'm too yowng."
"Ah, makes sense. Well, I'm sure that when the time is right, you will get it down easy!" Sonic said before ruffling the kids hair, making him laugh. "Anyways, I am sure you have seen this before… so what do you want to do now?"
Instead of giving a response, Skye just yawned.
"Ah, a nap it is!" Sonic said before picking up his nephew. "Come on, let's see if we can find a good spot in the back yard. Napping in the sun with a nice breeze is the best!"
Shortly after, Sonic found a nice, shady area under a tree for Skye to take his nap, while Sonic hopped onto a branch to take a nap himself. This way, he could keep an eye, and ear, on Skye and his surroundings.
What felt like a short while later though, Sonic woke up to the feeling of some weight on his stomach. Opening his eyes, he saw that Skye had moved to continue his nap on Sonic's stomach.
"Wait… how did he…?" Sonic asked himself.
"Sonic? Skye? We're home!" Sonic heard Tails' voice from inside the house.
"If you don't come out soon, I will assume you kidnapped him, and you know what will happen if that's the case!" Tangle's voice followed.
Deciding to not test fate, Sonic quickly grabbed Skye and hopped down from the tree.
"Hey! We're back here!" Sonic called over.
Shortly after, Tails came outside. "Hey, what were you two doing out here?"
"Skye was feeling tired after we played for a bit, so we came out here for a nap." Sonic explained.
"Yeah, makes sense. He does love his naps…" Tails said with a chuckle.
"So, find anything good?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, some recipe and botany books." Tails said. "She's a florist you know?"
"Yeah, probably should of seen that coming." Sonic said, before a thought crossed his mind. "Say… Skye doesn't know how to fly yet, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I set him down just below that tree for his nap, and when I woke up, he was up in the branch with me." Sonic said.
"Yeah, he sometimes likes to climb the tree. No idea how he does it though." Tails said with a chuckle.
"O…kay?"
"Anyways, you should probably get going if you want to see the Chaotix today." Tails said. "Don't worry about Skye, we got it from here."
"Gotcha, see you later!" Sonic said before running up to the roof and sped off along the rooftops.

Well, that was a cute little thing, wasn't it? Not much really to say, but remember this chapter for later ;)
Some good news is that I have already finished drafting out some subchapters, and that includes the Shadow vs Tails fight that I mentioned before. So look forward to that!
Anyways, next chapter will be a surprise (mostly because I still haven't decided if the Chaotix are actually going to be next or not…). So I will see you then :)
