This is what I have decided to write about concerning my new character, the
daughter of Knuckles. In case you've forgotten, her mother is Tikal.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this first chapter, many more to come! (I hope...)
Disclaimer: I saw that everyone else had one, so I will too! Anyway, I don't own the Sonic Team characters, however, I do own this particular fanfiction. So don't mess that up, ok?
Let's begin my story, "Fighting for the Past" written by me, indigo_the_cat@hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________
Chapter One: Knuckles Disappears
It has been quite a long time since Knuckles and Tikal bore the child that would become the future Master Emerald guardian. But Knuckles being the way he was, neglected to tell this child, his daughter, that that was her purpose. He wanted her to live a normal life, like a normal kid. So about two years after she was born, he moved into a cozy apartment just outside of Station Square. But, he still had to guard the Master Emerald. Knowing that it would be difficult for his daughter to grow up living on Angel Island, he also took the Master Emerald with him when he moved. His daughter, Laki, is now 16, and she is becoming more and more curious about her early childhood. And she is even more curious about her father's past. But today, she will have to wait, for the only thing on her mind, is high school... ________________________________________________________________________
~~Current Time: Sometime in August, 6 am~~ ~~Location: Station Square, Knuckles apartment~~
"Are you all ready for your first day of high school, Laki?" Knuckles asked his daughter.
"Yes, Dad, I am," Laki replied to her father.
"Are you sure? I mean, if you don't feel ready, you can wait." He offers.
"For how long then?" (Laki smirks)
"Um, for a couple of years?" says Knuckles.
"Oh, dad..." (Laki lets out a chuckle)
"It's just that you are growing up so fast, Laki. You are becoming a beautiful young woman. What happened to my little girl who I used to play horsie with?" Knuckles sullenly asked.
"Dad, those days are over now. I've gotta learn to be independent, and find out what I can do in this world, to be a better person," (Laki then notices her father's sad look)
"Don't worry, I'll always be your daughter. And if you miss me today, just remember the good-old times when I used to wanna be called Wrist, kinda like you are called Knuckles," She consoles.
"Well, all right. You just take care of yourself and be nice to your teachers. Here is your bus-pass, (hands Laki the pass), and here is your good-bye kiss," (kisses her forehead)
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Sayonara, Dad!" (Lakie waves and then walks out the door)
"Good-bye, my daughter Wrist," Knuckles whispers into the air.
After exiting the apartment, Laki walks down the hallway to the elevator. She takes it down to the first floor. When she gets there, she meets up with Amy Rose, who lives on the same floor has Knuckles and her.
"Well, hey there girl!" Amy greets.
"Hiya', Amy!" Laki greets back.
"Where are you off to today?" Amy asks.
"Well, I'd love to tell you more about it, but I can't because it is school. My first day of high school, actually," (Laki looks at her watch)
"I wouldn't want to be the one to make you late for school. And who knows what Knuckles would do to me? (she pauses for a moment) Laki, how do you do it?" (Amy gawks at Laki's hair)
"Do what?" Laki asks Amy.
"Your hair! It's so perfect. Not too wavy, but not too straight. And you always have your red highlights done without any fault!" Amy praises.
"What are you talking about Amy? My hair has ALWAYS been like this. And my red highlights are natural, didn't you know? I was BORN with them, because of my dad, Knuckles. He has naturally red hair," Laki explains.
"Wow, ok. Well, you'd better be off then, Laki! See ya' later, girl!" (Amy waves to Laki)
"Bye!" (Laki waves to Amy and then heads out the entrance)
As soon as Laki is outside, she looks down the street to the bus- stop. And sure enough, her bus is already there. She makes an Olympic dash towards the bus, so it does not leave without her. When she is inside the bus, she shows the driver her bus pass and takes a seat next to her friend, Roxy, who is also going to high school for the first time. They don't talk much, for they are both quite nervous about their first day. When they arrive at the school, they go into the main office and get their class schedules. Shortly after, the first bell rings and the two girls are off to their first class.
~~Time Elapse: About 5 hours~~
It is lunch time now, and Laki is exhausted from all of the ruckus going on the first day. She heads for the cafeteria and meets up with Roxy, who is also quite exhausted. After they sit down with their trays, they start a conversation.
"So, how was your last class?" Roxy asks Laki.
"It was way over-bearing, I had English Literature," (Laki moans)
"I'd think that you'd love literature, since your dad is all artistic and stuff," Roxy comments.
"He is the artistic one of the family, I'm more mathematical. I do well in science and trigonometry," Laki explains.
"You are taking trigonometry? I thought that you could only take that if you were..." (Roxy is interrupted)
"Yeah, but they saw my excellent scores in junior high last year, so they did a what-cha-ma-cal-it 'advanced placement' thingy," Laki corrected.
"Wow. It must be tough," (says Roxy as she frantically tries to open her thermos)
"Not really, oh is that stuck? Lemme help you," (Laki takes the thermos from Roxy and opens it without any trouble at all)
"Oh my god, how did you get so strong?" Roxy asks Laki.
"I dunno, my dad is pretty strong, maybe I get some of it from him," She offers.
"You know, your dad is pretty cool. I LOVE his dreadlocks," (Roxy sighs lustfully)
"Well, maybe..." Laki replies.
The two girls continue to talk about whatever crosses their minds while they hurriedly try to finish their food before the bell rings again. When it does, they dump their trays, and head off to their next class.
~~Time Elapse: About 4 hours~~
Laki and Roxy are now on the bus, heading back to Station Square. They both had a pretty great, but tiresome first day of high school. The whole time on the bus, the two girls were chattering away about everything that happened. When the bus stops at the corner where Laki must get off, she bids a cheerful good-bye to Roxy. Then, she shrugs, and shouts good- bye to everyone else on the bus. With a perky face, she gets off of the bus and walks excitedly (or skipped) back to the apartment building. She is overjoyed and wants to tell her dad, Knuckles, all about what happened. She goes inside the building, to find Amy wearily pacing around the entrance.
"Hiya', Amy, what's up!?!" Lakie greets in an over ecstatic voice.
"Oh, Laki, I'm worried..." Amy sobs.
"Worried about what? (She thinks for a minute) Oh, you were worried about my first day? It was great, I have a lot to tell you, but first, I have to talk to my dad," Laki replies.
"Laki... (Amy looks up at Laki) It's isn't about your first day," Amy says.
"Then, what is it about?" Laki asks, becoming a little nervous.
"Well, I'll tell you plain and simple. I went shopping today, like I always do, and I found the most gorgeous necklace ever! But, it wasn't in fashion for me. However, I quickly realized that it would look fabulous on Knuckles. So I bought it, and quickly rushed back to his apartment and went inside, for I didn't want to wait to give it to him. But when I got inside, I wondered for a minute. I thought, 'Why was his door unlocked?' So I went around your apartment, looking for him. And... hey, where are you going Laki!?" (Amy was dumbfounded)
Laki had already figured out what happened. Knuckles was on vacation leave at his job, and wasn't going back to work for another week, and she knew that Knuckles always locked the door, for privacy reasons, and safety. Laki also knew that if Amy had to look for Knuckles, he obviously wasn't there. Laki dashed up the stairs to her apartment, for she had no time to wait for the elevator. She threw open the door and looked frantically around the apartment for her father. But, she could not find him. It wasn't like Knuckles to just leave like that. Especially since Knuckles preferred a night-life compared to a day-life. Laki then checked the front desk to see if Knuckles had left word with the clerk to where he was. He hadn't. She glumly went back to her apartment and laid on her bed to wait for him to come home. Eventually she become tired and went to sleep. She thought to herself:
"He'll be back by morning," (then she closed her eyes and went to sleep) ________________________________________________________________________
So, how did you like the opening chapter? If you've got an opinion, or you liked it, post a review! Oh yeah, if possible, make it a signed review, ok? And no flames please. I'll try to get the next chapter done as soon as I can!
