Chapter 2: Phone Call

I forgot to say that N.O.A.H. is Neo Operation After ARK's Hazard.

Amy took a week off. She was so tired from the work she did. The next morning, Amy slept and woke up fully. Shadow made breakfast while the kids are still asleep. Amy got her cup and poured coffee. "Sleeping better?" He asked. Amy nodded with a smile. "Yes. Much better. Thanks to you." Amy gave him a kiss on the cheek. Shadow blushed and smiled. His ears twitched with suspense. "May you wait? I have something to do." She shrugged. "Okay." Shadow went to the living room, and his ears twitched again. He walked to the empty couch, grabbed someone from behind the couch, and held him high. "Well, well. Looks like I caught a rodent who love smashing games. Did you know it's early to play games?" Thunder smiled. "Uh…yeah?" Shadow carried him to the kitchen. "Come on, rascal."

"Honey, we found a mischief maker by the bookshelf." Amy giggled. She held Shad on her side. "Oh, yeah? I found a rodent from the living room." He held out Thunder.

"You can drop me, dad." Shadow thought about it.

"Do you mean, put you down on your feet, or drop you down on you behind?" Thunder was surprised. "Um…the first one." Shadow put him down on his feet. The other kids were awake, except for Aura. Amy tried to wake her up, but she is a heavy sleeper. Solo and Tia were getting breakfast, but they aim at the cookie jar. Shadow seized the two fast and sneakiest hedgehogs by the tail. He carried them to the chairs. Aura was now awaken by the rattle and exactly nine. Amy placed Aura on the baby chair with baby applesauce. Aura was a pain in the neck for Shad and Thunder. She threw a spoon at Shad. Thunder laughed while pointing at her. "Ah-ha." Then, Aura threw the rattle at Thunder's head. Shad smirked while eating her cereal. "That's not very funny," Thunder said while rubbing his head. Amy made pancakes for Shadow, Thunder, Tia, and Solo. Amy helped Aura to finish her breakfast until the telephone rang. "I got it!" Shad and Thunder ran to the phone and fought over it. Shadow walked over to the phone from them. "Aw… shoot." Thunder snapped his fingers. "Gee, almost had it," Shad sighed and put her head down.

"Hello?" Shadow answered the phone. "Oh, hey, sis." The kids stopped eating. "Is that…" Solo asked Amy. Amy nodded. Tia jumped out of the chair and ran to the other empty phone. She got it and the others ran to her. "Auntie! How are you?" Tia asked.

Solo grabbed the phone. "Auntie, can you get me and Tia two jawbreakers?"

Thunder snatched the phone from Solo. "Can you also get me a Sonic Battle game?"

Shad pulled the phone away from Thunder. "Auntie, can you get me a rock CD?"

"My turn." Thunder tripped Shad by the leg.

"Oh, yeah?" Shad wrestled Thunder, and the phone was on the ground.

Aura walked to the phone while Shad and Thunder were wrestling, and Solo and Tia were cheering for both. "Auntie. Hi." A voice came from the phone. "Hi, Aura. How are you doing?" Aura smiled. "Fine." Then, Amy's voice came from the kitchen to the upstairs room. "Thunder, Shad, are you wrestling up there, again!" The two hedgehogs stopped. "No, mom. We're not." Shadow laughed. "Those kids. Okay, what's up? Hmm? Go to Tails's plane garage? Why? Oh, sure. Okay. What about…? Oh, okay. Thanks." Shadow hanged up the phone. Amy finished cleaning the dishes. "What happened?" "We going to Tails's place at the Mystic Ruins." Amy pointed to the upstairs. There was thuds, zips, and running sounds. Shadow rubbed his head. He went upstairs. "Kids?" They were packed up. "ROAD TRIP!"
