Team Chaotix!
Monday 12:03 noon
An older Espio sat at his computer desk doing some research on a new case he and Vector had received over a week ago, trying to ignore the two sets of loud music in the background.
Charmy was gone but business was still as good as ever, even better in fact, due to news getting out about their success in that whole ordeal with Dr.Eggman and Mecha Sonic people (rather wealthy people) had been hiring them like crazy. And the best part was the cases weren't all that dangerous. Mostly just finding missing family heirlooms and such. All though he had to admit it was kinda boring. The music in the background got louder.
This case was trying to find some missing jewelry that was worth over one hundred thousand dollars, and they were beinggiven a very generous offer. The music had gotten loud enough to where the bass of the music was shaking the walls, and computer desk, and Espio's cup of coffee which he picked up and toke a few sips out of still trying to ignore the music…that was now being turned up louder, you could even hear the words of the two sets of music mixing together fighting to over power the other. Espio's eye twitched as he set his coffee back down and it rattle on contact….DAMMIT! He whirled around in his chair and glared at the crocodile who was relaxing with his eyes closed on the coach in behind him as if he heard nothing.
"Vector!" He got no answer. "Vec-argh!" he started to call him again but instead grabbed a piece of paper, balled it up and threw it hitting straight in between the croc's eyes.
Vector threw his arms up in surprise and sat up looking at his partner.
"What was tha-"
"Go tell your children to turn that noise DOWN." the annoyed chameleon commanded.
Vector grinned and got up without protest.
"They're yours too, ya know."
Espio shook his head. "Not my kids." Even though they were in fact his kids and he loved them both very much. But with all siblings cames sibling rivalry and these two fought with music, a passion they inherited from their 'mother'.
Vector walked down thehall way of his houseuntil he came to two doors. The music was even louder now you could practically feel it. He open the first door to Epsilon's room and was greeted by Evansence 'Wake me up Inside' blaring in his face. He went two the second to Daryl's room and was also greeted by LinkinPark 'Numb', also blaring in his face.
Vector shock his head at the display of immaturity even though he didn't really mind the loud music. In his opinion the lyrics kindamixed well together.
He stepped in Daryl's room first which was covered wall to wall with posters of Rap artist, alternative rock stars, girls, etc. Daryl was lying on his side with his back turned to the door. He didn't even hear his dad come in and nearly jumped off the bed when his stereo system was suddenly shut off.
Vector then stepped over to Epsilon's room.
Epsilon was sitting up on her bed writing in a small fuzzy pink book with a matching fuzzy pink pen. Vector walked into her room and reached to turn off the stereo on the side of her bed when she reached over and did it herself and immediately began to go off.
"Dad, tell Daryl to give me back my headphones!" the young female chameleon huffed.
"Not until she gives me back my Mariah Carey CD!" yelled Daryl from his room.
"What happened to the headphones I bought you?" Vector cut in.
Before Daryl could say anything Epsilon cut in, "He sat on them, again."
Vector crossed his arms and said, "Daryl that gives you no right to take Epsilon's headphones-"
"Well she toke my CD without asking!" the younger crocodile, Daryl, was now standing in the door way almost as tall as his father. Epsilon and Daryl started to argue VERY loudly with each other throwing various insults in between.
"Why don't you say it to my face?" Epsilon yelled.
"Sorry but I can't bend that far down." Daryl retorted.
You couldn't really tell that Daryl and Epsilon were related;but they were fraternal twins. Daryl looked like a full blooded crocodile while Epsilon looked like a full blooded chameleon. Espio was the sire and Vector was the bearer (something I'm no really going to go into detail about right now.;). Epsilon was the oldest by 2 minutes and was only as tall as Espio while Daryl stood tall and muscled. They were both eighteen.
Epsilon and Daryl still argued and Vector could only just stand and watch. Suddenly Espio walked up looking rather pissed and put money in Daryl's hand.
"Go buy some new headphones.." and then gave Epsilon some money. "Go buy your own CD."
And that shut them up. And since there was nothing more to be said the siblings went in their rooms to put on their street clothes while Vector followed Espio into the kitchen.
Espio poured himself a new cup of coffee and Vector got out cream and sugar for him.
"Espio, you know what I said about just handing themmoney like that. You'll spoil them enough as it is." He told him sternly.
Espio just smirked. "I like to call it 'solving the problem'." he leaned against the kitchen counter and toke a sip of his coffee. Vector couldn't help but chuckle a little at Espio's statement and slapped the bottom of Espio coffee cup but he knocked a bit to hard causing coffee to slash up in Espio's face.
Vector quickly suppressed a laugh and Espio slapped him in his side. Vector coiled his thick tail around Espio (he had some control in the thing) and pulled him closer.
Meanwhile in Daryl's room…
Daryl was very thankful for the long red spikes on his head for he was 'punk rocker-esk'. The spikes on his head were so long that they stood about a half a foot before drooping over his head and getting shorter as they went down his back and on to his tail. He put on his gloves and large wristbands with metal spikes on them. Then he put on his black boots that came just under his knee and then three thick black leather belts with spikes and chains that hung loosely on his hips one which held a headphoneless CD player. And to top it all off he had an eyebrow piercing in which he wore a small silver hoop. Oh yes, very 'punk rocker-esk'.
He walked out of his roomand sawEpsilon already waiting at the door. She had on a baby blue tube top and a pair of dark blue jeans and white and blue tennis shoes. The colors went well with her blue eyes, but the rest of her was purple, with her purple hair in a pony tail.
"Lets go." said Daryl opening the door letting his sister exit the house first.
In the kitchen Espio and Vector heard the door shut.
Espio broke the kiss he and Vector were engaged in.
"Are they gone?" Espio asked his fingers tracing circles on Vectors chest.
"Yeah I think so-WHA-" Espio pushed Vector down on the floor and continued his ministrations.
Meanwhile there was mayhem in the streets and sidewalks of Station Square as two blurs, one black one pink,went dashing across intersections, rushing and weaving through people on the sidewalks causing some women's skirts to fly up as they zipped by.
"I'll make a deal with you." Daryl said throwing an arm over his sister's shoulders. "I'll let you keep my CD, IF, you give me your money so I can buy-"
"Forget it." Epsilon shoved the big arm off her shoulders and walked further down the row of CD racks.
"Pleeeeeease!" he continued to plea. "You'll just be paying me for the CD-"
"I said no." she said taking a CD off the rack. She put it down and picked up another one. After looking it over she turned to her brother.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah." his tone seemed pouty with a look to match. Epsilon ignored him and made her way to the chaser her brother tow.
The two blurs still ran side by side through the city streets skidding around corners and making people have to nearly jump to the side to avoid being hit.
They came to another intersection just as the light turned green and a man in a green car talking on his cell phone had just gotten off the brake and slowly press the acceleration and was already pass the crosswalk when a black blur zipped right in front of the car barely being missed as the car came to a skidding halt.
"What the.." the man spoke just as the pink blur stopped and did a one-handed flip on the hood of the car, the man seeing that it was a pink hedgehog wearing a black leather jacket, and dash off behind the black blur not missing a beat.
The man blinked bewildered. "…did you see that?" the man spoke dumbly in the receiver of his cell phone.
The siblings walked outside the music store and stopped on the sidewalk. Daryl toke out his new headphones and attacked them to his CD player that he already had with him, putting them on his head and with a sigh of relief said "All is right with the world again."
Epsilon took her CD out of the bag and began reading song titles on it when someone shouted. "LOOK OUT!"
Daryl turned just in time to a black blur and immediately stepped to the side and felt air rush past him. The blur was gone just like that.
Daryl was standing there looking stupid and Epsilon had an eyebrow raised. She stepped in toward her brother and just as they were about to start walked again something slammed into Epsilon's back knocking the CD out of her hand.
She hit the concrete and whatever hit her went tumbling over herwith a crunch. She lifted her head and saw a pink hedgehog with a black leather jacket and black boots hurriedly getting himself up.
The hedgehog was about to take off again but was jerked back by the collar of his jacket. He tried to get lose without ever noticing just who had him.
"Let me go!" he tried to pull away again. "I'm gonna lose fifteen dollars!"
"I just lost nineteen ninety-five thanks to you!"
At the sound of the angry female voice he whipped his head around facing the angry female chameleon who was pointing down to her now broken CD, case and all.
"You owe me...!..you're a guy." Epsilon said after she looked at the hedgehog.
"What! Just because I'm pink automatically makes me a girl!" the hedgehog exclaimed defensively and trying to pull away again.
Epsilon tightened her grip. " Look kid you owe me money for that. I just bought it."
"I don't owe you nothing. AndI'm not a kid I'm fifteen.Now can you let me go?"
"Sure. Daryl." she called her brother over and handed him the hedgehogs arm. It was visible that the hedgehog had gotten nervous. Daryl flashed him and grin and he swear he saw his reflection for a second when the young croc spoke.
"Excuse my sisters attitude…um.."
"Chris." Chris looked up and down at the crocodile. With all that black on all he needed was some eye-shadow and he would be gothic, that is if he already was.
"Nice eyebrow piercing." He said pointing to his own eyebrow.
"Thanks." said Daryl flashing another grin.
Chris turned his attention back to Epsilon. "Look, even if I wanted to pay you back I can't now. He's probably half way home by now."
"Who?" she asked eyebrow raised.
"The guy I was racing. We made another bet for money. That's why I stay broke." he mumbled the last statement but Epsilon still heard.
"So you're always losing to this guy." Epsilon asked with a smirk on her face.
"Who asked you?"
"But wait I thought only Sonic could run that fast." Daryl looked puzzled.
"Yeah and I'm his son Chris."
Daryl gasped and got excited, letting go of Chris' arm. "Oh my god your Sonic's son? THE Sonic's son? Can I have your autograph?" he started looking for a pen and paper.
Epsilon jumped up and gave him a ninja kick to the back of the head and started talking to the hedgehog again. "I don't care who you are yo-WHAT?"
"Yeah I owe you!" Chris shouted two blocks down from them. "I won't forget see ya!" And he was gone in the blink of an eye.
Epsilon just stared blinking dumbfounded. "HOW COULD YOU LET GO OF HIS ARM!" she shouted/plead to her brother then sighed. "Well this sucks."
"Yeah I didn't even get his autograph." Daryl with sarrowsaid putting away a pen and paper.
"WHY would you want his autograph? He's not even famous!"
"Beacause one day he is gonna be famous, and since I'll his autograph before he was famous it'll be worth a lot by then. Then I'll sell it on eBay and get tons of money!" Daryl explained himself with pride and a hint of greed.
In her annoyance Epsilon gave another kick to the back of her brothers head.
