Chapter 2 My Chao
Author's Note: Here's a happy poem about the creatures we call chao! Or is it? Hmmm.....
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic characters or chao in general, but I do own the chao in the poem.
============================================================================
I walked through the chao lobby for the very first time
Looking forward to the chao that was soon to be mine
I stepped into the garden and what did I see?
A special chao egg waiting there, just for me!
I lifted it up and looked at it a bit
Not exactly sure what I was to do with it
I rocked it a little, and put it back down
Hoping my new chao wouldn't hatch with a frown
After a few seconds, it started to break, and i was filled with glee
The little chao's head popped out, as cut as can be!
I picked him up and held him tight
Knowing I'd never let him out of my sight
But calling it "Chao" just seemed very lame
So I decided to go, and give it a name
I left the garden, and found the fortune teller near the back
She looked at my chao and exclaimed, "His name shall be Zack!"
I thanked the fortune teller, surprised that the chao could talk
And then I went to take Zack to the doc
He examined the chao, and what do you know!
He said Zack would be very strong when he started to grow
Then I took Zack back to the garden, and he was filled with sorrow
But I told him not to worry, I'd be back tomorrow!
And as the days and weeks went past
Zack started to grow, and then the day came at last
One morning while my head was turned
A blue cocoon surrounded Zack, and then I learned
I learned that when chao get to be a certain age
There comes a time they have to change
And as his cocoon started to disappear
I smile spread across my face, from ear to ear
Even though I didn't know how
My little Zack had grown up to be a great NIGHTS chao!
Then more years when by and by
And Zack learned how to run, swim and fly
And as he got older, I was filled with glee
For Zack got married, and had not two kids, but three!
Zack got powerful as can be
He beat quite a few races, and much of karate!
Then to show him how happy I was to be his friend
I bought him a stump, to his head
Me and Zack were happy as could be
We were best friends, what more did we need?
But then there came that fateful day
What had happened, I'd rather not say
We were all happy, until a cocoon surrounded Zack this time gray
To make along story short, Zack left me that day
Now all the chao still laugh and play
But the gardens shall never be the same
Because Zack no longer walks around
He no longer swims, or flies off the ground
But I would have done things different that day
If I'd only known, it was our last time to play
Even if I live to be a million and three
I'll never forget how much happiness Zack brought to me
If I ever forget the way we used to run and jump and swim and jog
Then my name isn't Shadow the Hedgehog

This poem is dedicated to spike-luver200. After all, Zack was her chao. Zack was raised with Shadow only after his evolution. He would go to Shadow when he whistled. He did marry and have three kids. His wife was Bubbles, who died shortly after Zack, and his kids were Presto, Dino, and Chuck. He also had grandchildren, Cream, Chaz, and Blitzen. Finally, he had one great-grandchild, Crumpet. Oh, and Zack really did have a stump on his head. We miss you Zack!
