AN: I HAD TO REPOST THIS CHAPPY BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON I COULDN'T SEE ANY OF THE REVIEWS I GOT (IF ANY) AND THE CHAPPY WAS ALL SCRUNCHED UP. SO I'M TERRIBLY SORRY IF SOME PEOPLE REVIEWED AND THE REVIEWS GOT ERASED.
Hey guys! Well, here's the fourth chappy. GAH, I know I know. It took like 3 weeks to come out with this one but....uh....he made me do it!! -points to Knuckles- Soooo anyways, don't have much else to say. ENJOY!!
Meganium Girl: Wow what a coincidence...great minds think alike I suppose. =P
Goten Goku Son: -pats Knuckles on the head- Honey...Demon isn't even YOURS! Maybe if you were just a little more devoted to OUR children...I wouldn't have to YELL at you so much!! -breathes deeply and smiles innocently again- Now, run along and go feed Pumpkin. Oh! And next time we go to Sonic's house, don't hog all the blankets!!
HmgirlKristi: Awww how sad! ;; I would DIE if I couldn't find my favoritest game of all time! Good luck with that. And good luck to your Gram too!
wolfodonnell123 (if that IS your real name): You make a very good point there...I've always wondered what it looked like under his shoes and his gloves...if those are even gloves. But then again...if he had no shoes...that would mean he'd be completely naked!! O.O
Disclaimer: Knuckles is red, Sonic is blue, I no own, you no sue.

It was a dark and gloomy day in the Dark Garden, and it reeked of a putrid smell. The walls were cracked and the ground was wet and soggy. Knuckles scrunched his nose as he walked in and avoided earth worms wriggling their way out of the mud. He carefully made his way towards the pool of red substance, which he was always too afraid to find out what it was, and scanned the place for a sign of life.
He heard a few sounds off to his left, and assumed it was one of the chaos he was supposed to be babysitting. He walked over and, sure enough, Demon and Cash were fighting over a skull they had found on the ground. The were playing a game of tug-of-war with it, and it seemed like Demon was winning. Knuckles stepped in between them and took the skull away. "All right you two, break it up."
Knuckles felt a sharp pang in his ankle, and bit his lip to prevent from screaming out. He cautiously looked down and saw Demon stuck to his leg and gnawing on the flesh. Knuckles refrained from kicking out his leg and throwing the chao into a nearby wall, and threw the skull over his head instead. When both Demon and Cash hastily made their way over to the discarded bone, Knuckles quickly nurtured his leg.
He gave a deep sigh. "Stupid chaos...stupid hedgehogs...babysitting...stupid bat...," he muttered incoherently as he once again attempted to break the fight up. He finally succeeded in scooping both the chaos in his arms. He looked around for the other chao and spotted her across the garden, asleep. Knuckles gave a deep sigh and rushed over, not knowing whether to wake the chao up. After having another dreadful look around the place, he decided to pick the chao up.
After a few shoves and pokes, Soul crankily awoke. Knuckles felt relieved that Soul wasn't like Demon and would throw temper-tantrums every time someone would do something to him, and scooped the chao up with some difficulty, just as she began crawling away. There, Knuckles thought to himself. Now I get to leave this creepy place and watch all the chaos at the same time.
He smiled in satisfaction and started heading for the doorway, trying to handle all three chaos at the same time. Once he re-entered the Hero Garden, he set the chaos on the ground and watched them crawl away, heading in all different directions. Sure, the evil ones might tease the others, but it's much better than having to go to two places all at once. Time for roll call.
Knuckles walked around the garden and looked in all sorts of places for the energetic little tikes. He found Chaz and Soul swimming in the pool, and he found Roxy drawing some flowers behind some rocks. Demon and Cash were crawling around randomly, and Soul was back to taking her nap. All accounted for.
The echidna made for the exit, figuring he'd go get some fast-food or something, then stopped dead in his tracks when he realized something wasn't right. Pumpkin! Knuckles turned back around and immediately searched the whole garden for his chao. She wasn't with any of the others, and she wasn't behind the waterfall or in any corners. Knuckles ran out of the garden as fast as he could and headed for the Chao Kindergarten.
She wasn't in the playroom, and she wasn't in the clinic. She wasn't at the Fortune-Teller's, and she wasn't in the Market. Knuckles began to panic as he ran out of the hall and into the Main Garden. "I'm a bad daddy, I'm a bad daddy, I'm a bad daddy..." he repeatedly scolded himself. Just then his pocket vibrated. [1] He pulled out his red cell phone and snapped it open. "Hello?"
{ "Hi Knucklehead!" } came a voice from the other side. Knuckles groaned inwardly, not only at the fact that his girlfriend had just called him, but also at her bad timing.
"Hey, Rouge," he answered.
{ "How's my little Pumpkin?" }
"Oh...Pumpkin? She's fine...really quiet. You wouldn't even know...she was here," he gave a nervous laugh.
{ "That's great! Let me talk to her." }
"Umm...I can't. She's...she's asleep."
{ "Oh...well then put the phone by her so I could hear her breathing." }
"Um...okay..." Knuckles looked around the room panicky and finally decided on the only thing to do. He held the phone a short distance from himself and started making cooing noises as he had heard the other chaos do before while sleeping. He scrunched his face, feeling his cheeks turning hot, and thanked God that no one was around to see this horrible act.
{ "Oh, how adorable! Are you taking good care of her?" }
Knuckles regained his composure. "Of course I am, Rouge. She's my child too." That sounded...different, he thought.
{ "Good! You better not let anything happen to her, otherwise I'll have your stumpy little tail! Love ya!" }
The echidna winced at the tone of the bat's voice and at the click in his ear. He gave a sigh and stuffed his cell phone back in his pocket, then quickly ran back to the Hero Garden just in case there was a spot he didn't look at.
-- Hero Garden --
Knuckles beat his head against a lone Palm Tree repeatedly. He had searched this place upside down three times already! Pumpkin was nowhere to be found. "I'm a bad daddy, I'm a bad daddy, I'm a bad daddy..." he muttered over and over again.
After another few moments of scolding himself, Knuckles picked himself off of the ground and brushed the dirt from his knees. "I WILL find her, if it's the last thing I do!" he yelled in a confident voice at no one in particular. With that said, the echidna ran out of the garden once more to find his lost chao.

[1] Yes, I KNOW Knuckles doesn't have pockets...just use your imagination, kay?
There you go! Not my best but hey, I try. Hmm...we're not too far away from the end. Maybe 2-3 more chappies. Anyone have any idea where Pumpkin is?! I bet it's pretty obvious...but oh well! Don't give out the secret =X I was so gonna mention Julie-Su in this chappy because me and Knuckles just found out on Tuesday who she was. -glares at Knuckles yet again- But I think I'll keep that idea for the sequal...if there IS one . . .
