Ok. Again, I do not own any Sonic characters, but I DO own Radar and Cash. There will probably be two or three more chapters after this one. I haven't decided. Anyways, Chapter 10!
Chapter 10:
New Acquaintances
In the morning the group was up and running except Knuckles and Shadow who never got up unless it was pass noon. It was 11:59a.m at the moment. Tails was eagerly looking at the clock waiting for noon to come so he could go pounce on Knuckles and Shadow.
"DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING, DING!"
The clock struck noon and Tails zoomed up to Shadow's room. Downstairs, Rouge was up on the ceiling, her ear against the wall listening to whatever happened when Tails woke the two older teens up. She heard Shadow yell out a long string of curse words. She heard Tails run across the hallway to Knuckles' room. She heard a yell a bang and crying. Rouge fell off the ceiling when Shadow tapped her.
"What're doing on the ceiling?" he asked.
"I wasn't spying on your conversation if that's what you think!" Rouge said quickly.
Shadow rolled his eyes. He went to the refrigerator and got out a gallon of milk and poured it all in his cereal.
"We need more milk!" Shadow yelled throwing away the empty gallon.
"I just bought some yesterday!" Rouge said.
"I didn't even get to use any." Shadow said ignoring the overflowing bowl of milk and Fruit Loops.
"Then explain that." Rouge said pointing to his bowl.
"That must be Sonic's. You know he never puts his stuff up." Shadow lied.
"Uh-huh suuuuuure." Rouge said.
"It's true!" Shadow said.
Rouge shook her head and went upstairs to see what Knuckles and Tails were up to. Once she left, Shadow made a mental note to work on his lies. Afterward, he went to look for Sonic or something to torture.
Upstairs Rouge had found Knuckles who was brushing his teeth. She looked over and saw Tails' feet and tails sticking out of the toilet. She guessed that was the work of Knuckles when Tails wouldn't stop crying.
"Aren't you having breakfast?" Rouge asked.
"Nope." Knuckles replied.
"Why is Tails in the toilet?" Rouge asked.
"He wouldn't shut up." Knuckles replied again.
Tails got his oversized head out of the toilet and had a coughing fit.
"I won't pounce on you again Knuckles. I promise." Tails said backing into the corner.
"Whatever." Knuckles said putting his toothbrush up.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door and then the doorbell rang. Knuckles went down to answer it as Tails ran to his bedroom and Rouge went to change out of her pajamas.
Knuckles opened the door and saw a black panther and a small cheetah outside the door. The panther had on a black shirt that said 'Math is hard.' in white letters and black pants. The cheetah had on a blue shirt and kaki shorts.
"Uh, can I help you?" Knuckles asked.
"Hi, I'm Radar and this is my little brother Cash." Radar said.
"I'm Knuckles. What do you need?" Knuckles asked.
"Uh, last night, our car crashed into the Dairy Queen down the street and we're homeless now." Radar explained. He seemed as though he was about Knuckles' age maybe a year older.
"Can we stay with you?" Cash asked. He looked he was about five or so.
Shadow walked up to the door where Knuckles was.
"Is it the pizza man?" Shadow asked.
Shadow looked at the panther and the cheetah and frowned. Apparently he was expecting pizza.
"Uh, I guess you can stay. Tails can probably build two more rooms in five hours." Knuckles said.
"What's happening?" Shadow asked.
"These two crashed there car into Dairy Queen last night and don't have a home." Knuckles explained.
Shadow blinked as Knuckles let Radar and Cash in.
"This is a big house isn't it Radar?" Cash asked.
He reminded Knuckles of Charmy always full of pep.
"Yeah, it is." Radar agreed.
Rouge walked down the stairs and stopped in front of the two new animals.
"Who're your friends?" Rouge asked Knuckles.
"I'm Radar and-."
"I'm Cash!" Cash finished.
"Hi, I'm Rouge." Rouge said.
Radar and Cash waved.
"SONIC! TAILS! GET YOUR REAR ENDS DOWN HERE PRONTO!" Knuckles yelled.
Sonic came crashing through the ceiling and Tails hovered through Sonic's hole. Radar and Cash just stared at the two.
"Geesh! Do you have to yell?" Sonic asked.
"Yes. Now introduce yourselves." Knuckles ordered.
Sonic and Tails turned to Radar and Cash. Tails introduced himself like any 8 year-old scientist would, but Sonic did his introduction a different way.
"Yo, what's up dawg? I'm Sonic the hedgehog, but just call me-. OW!" Sonic yelled as Knuckles punched him in the head.
"Introduce yourself like you did to me." Knuckles ordered.
"What are you my father?" Sonic asked.
Knuckles stared at him.
"Hi, I'm Sonic." Sonic said lazily throwing his hand up for a wave.
Sonic walked away and Cash bombarded Knuckles with questions about Sonic.
"Does he always act like that? Is he mental? Why'd he ask if you were his father? Doesn't he know his own father? Why'd he fall through the ceiling? Do you creep him out?" Cash asked in one breath. He then fell on the floor gasping for breath.
"Yes, he does/is all those things. And I do creep him out sometimes…" Knuckles asked looking upstairs like he was waiting for something to happen.
"THERE'S A SPIDER IN MY BED! AHHHH! Oh wait; it's just a toy… KNUCKLES!" Sonic yelled.
"Oops… my bad." Knuckles snickered.
After a lot more of this (whatever it was), Tails ran off to build two rooms for their new friends. Meanwhile, Knuckles showed Cash and Radar the house, Shadow waited by the door for his pizza, Rouge made lunch and Sonic hid in his room.
"LUNCH IS READY!" Rouge yelled.
"Everyone yells in this house don't they?" Radar asked Shadow.
"It's a big house, what do you expect us to do? Go into all 50 rooms looking for everyone. By that time whatever's for lunch will be cold." Shadow explained.
"Point." Radar gave in.
Lunch was meatball subs (Knuckles' favorite) and Mountain Dew. Everyone dug in and the table was silent. Sonic began eating with his mouth once more. Radar and Cash stared at him.
"Does he always eat like that?" Radar asked Knuckles.
"Yes. He's our little heathen of the household." Knuckles said kicking Sonic in his shin.
"What's even worse is we had the same exact talk last night." Rouge agreed.
"And he's STILL EATING LIKE A HEATHEN!" Shadow yelled hoping Sonic would get the message.
Sonic did get the message and stopped eating like that. He wiped his mouth off, and began lazily sawing his food once more. Cash thought this was funny and began to laugh.
"Sonic's funny! Stupid… but funny!" Cash laughed.
"You think that's funny, wait until tonight and Shadow pranks him. He does it every night and it gets funnier and funnier." Espio whispered.
"Okay!" Cash whispered back.
Everyone finished lunch and did something to occupy them for the rest of the day. After dinner, Sonic went to get ready for bed. Shadow followed him up the stairs. Espio and Cash followed him. Espio and Cash hid in the bathroom because that's where all the pranks took place. They hid in the bath tub. Cash made a hole in it for their peephole. They saw Shadow doing something over by the sink, but they couldn't tell what. He left and Sonic walked in.
Sonic looked in the mirror and then got out his toothbrush. He turned the water on and it began spraying him wildly. Espio and Cash began to laugh as quietly as possible. Sonic turned the water off and was soaked. He scratched his stomach thinking. He tried again and got soaked once more. Espio and Cash couldn't holding their laughter and began to crack up.
"SHAAAADOOOOOW!" Sonic yelled.
When Shadow didn't come, Sonic marched out of the room muttering. What Shadow had done was put clear plastic wrap over the sink so when Sonic turned the water on, the water bounced off the plastic onto him.
Espio and Cash walked out of the bathroom and saw Sonic shooting Shadow with a water gun.
"You like that? That's how it felt!" Sonic yelled.
Shadow didn't care because he was cracking up. Espio walked to his bedroom and Cash stayed out and watched the show.
"You have one weird household." Cash said to no one in particular.
He went to bed laughing. And besides the screams from Sonic and the laughter of Shadow, everything was peaceful.
Gosh, everyone loves to pick on Sonic don't they:D Hope you liked the chapter. Review please!
