Chapter four: Who luvs who?
Author's Note: Yay! I'm done with Sonic Riders! So, I can come out with the new special story soon! Starring (hee hee, I said Starr…) Starr, Jet, and the rest! Yay! I've been making Power Points so I'm delayed. Um, anyway, enjoy Chapter four…
"Morning, Vector…" Charmy yawned. The crocodile looked up from the newspaper.
"Hey," he replied. Charmy looked in the pantry.
"Hey… where's the pancake stuff? And the pickles?" Charmy asked.
"Uhhh… you ate it."
"Aw, MAN! I hate Bran cereal!" Charmy whined. Espio smirked.
"You could eat Vector if you'd rather…" he grinned. Vector gave Espio a spiteful stare.
"Don't fill his head with bad ideas, he's six for crud's sake!" he growled.
"Yeah! Besides, I'd rather chew my stinger off!" Charmy wailed. Espio rolled his eyes and went back into meditation. But he and the other Chaotix team perked up the minute the heard…
Knock knock!
"It's eight in the morning! We don't do work until ten!" Charmy whined again as Vector answered the door, "Ah, probably some, 'My Chao's stuck in a tree' junk…" Vector opened the door and almost fell over at the sight of the prettiest creature to meet his eye.
"Oh… uh… hi… Starr," he stuttered. Espio and Charmy jumped up at the sound of her name.
"HI, STARR! CAN WE HELP YOU? YOUR CHAO STUCK IN A TREE? WE CAN GET HIM DOWN IF YOU WANT! FREE OF CHARGE!" they shouted.
"No," Starr giggled, "I don't have a Chao yet. I was at the store this morning and I thought I'd pick everybody up something!" She gave Charmy pancake stuff and pickles (I have such a sick obsession!), Espio a sleep mask and ear plugs, and Vector a new magnifying glass.
"COOL! THANKS!" Charmy squealed.
"No, problem," Starr smiled. She looked down and blushed. "Uh, bye…" and she ran off.
"I think she likes me," Espio squealed.
"WHAT? Nuh-uh! She likes me! I'm cute and adorable, you're a constipated freak!" Charmy argued.
"SHUT UP, MIDGET!"
"Hey, hey, guys," Vector said quickly, "let's just settle this. She doesn't like either of you. She likes me okay all settled and I'm now running away!"
"Wha-? YOU CAN'T TAKE HER! WE SAW HER FIRST!" Espio yelled.
"Yeah! I saw her first!" Charmy yelled.
(Okay, hours later of smacking and cursing and swearing and all that stuff Charmy shouldn't hear or say)
"Hi, Jet!" Starr chirped to her dozing brother. Jet opened one eye and got a cute smile.
"Hi, Sis!" he chirped.
Sonic (my- uhhh, let's just use the long form of her first name, Sonic-Boom)
Sonic-Boom: Stop making Jet such a cute adorable creature! HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE EVIL! EVIL I TELL YOU! EVIL!
bloomacncheez: And?
Sonic-Boom: (sighs) Whatever…
(Resuming…)
"Hi, Starr," Jet said with a little smile, "where'd you go?"
"Uh, the CDA. I just dropped off a few whatevers…" Starr explained. Jet grinned evilly.
"You know that all three of them like you."
"Yeah, it's a little obvious…" Starr giggled and then stopped smiling and got quiet.
"You like any of them back?" Jet asked after awhile. Starr looked up at him and sighed.
"I can tell you who I do like…" she said, "if you can keep it quiet." Jet nodded. "Okay, I have a crush on…"
(Back at the CDA)
"Okay, Starr left about twenty minutes ago, we need to put this fight to an end," Vector pleaded. Charmy put down his crowbar.
"Yeah, you're right," he sighed. Espio still held his broken beer bottle. "Put it down tough guy." Espio dropped it.
"Let's just forget about her, okay, boys?" Vector said.
"Okay," the other two agreed.
(Five minutes later…)
"AAAAAAAAAAHH! I'VE GOT TO TELL HER!" Charmy shrieked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! STARR!" Espio screamed.
"Huh, so much for that," Vector sighed.
(Meanwhile…)
"Really? You like HIM?" Jet awed.
"Uh, yes," Starr blushed. Jet shook his head trying not to laugh.
"Yeah, well, it could've been worse," Jet snickered, "You could've liked Chris Thorndyke."
"Once again, who the snot is Chris Thorndyke?"
"Just disregard that! Wait until the next chapter! Jeez!" Jet mumbled.
"So, you don't mind?"
"Course not, it's not like I'M marrying him."
"Good, or else I'd kill you, Jet," Starr hissed. Jet blinked.
"I'm not that stupid, Starr, maybe I've changed since we saw each other last, but I'm not-."
"I was using sarcasm."
"Oh."
"You've spent too much time with Storm…"
"Yeah, probably."
(That afternoon…)
Vector had gone out… somewhere… (Shifty eyes)… and had left Charmy and Espio at home alone… yeah… BAD idea.
"SHE'S MINE!"
"CHARMY, IT'S ILLEAGAL FOR AN ADULT TO DATE A SIX-YEAR-OLD!"
"I DON'T CARE!"
BANG! BANG! POW! SMASH! HURT! KILL! DEAD! (I wish sometimes…)
"What are guys doing?" Jet asked who was for some odd reason sleeping on their windowsill.
"Uh, no reason, we weren't planning on dating your sister…" Charmy lied.
"Charmy, shut up!" Espio hissed.
"You aren't my mom so you can't make me!"
POW SMASH HURT!
"She doesn't like you."
"WHAT?" the two shrieked. Jet closed his eyes with a smile.
"I said nothing."
"Who doesn't she like?" Espio asked eagerly.
"Either of you," Jet answered.
"Well, who DOES she like?" Charmy snapped. Jet grinned an EVIL grin.
"I swore on my life never to tell a soul…" he smirked, "however…"
"You'll tell us?" Espio said bouncing up and down.
"No. But I can tell you who everybody else likes."
"Well, what good is that?"
"I dunno, I told you I swore on my life never to tell you that Starr likes... I won't say."
"Why not?" Charmy groaned, "What do we have to do to make you tell?"
"Well… I can't tell you who she likes… but… I can help you win her over…" Jet whispered.
"ANYTHING!" Espio screamed.
" You're too serious and, Charmy, you're too little, my work here is done." And he flew off before you could say "Llama."
"That's it?" Espio awed.
"Hmph, he's lucky I won't sting him," Charmy sneered. Espio scratched his head and said, "I've got it."
Later…
"Hi, Starr!" Espio called. Starr turned to face her friends but immediately fell back in shock.
"WHAT THE-?" she shrieked. There were the two young Chaotix members, totally changed. Jet (where does he keep coming from?) stifled a laugh.
"Oh, my gosh…" he chuckled. Charmy was wearing a false mustache and Espio was wearing a little bowtie (for some odd reason it was strikingly similar to Cheese's…) and had a fake rubber nose with a goofy expression upon his face.
"Hello, dear Starr, how art thou tis' afternoon?" Charmy said. Starr cocked her head.
"Come again?" she asked. Espio ran around in circles honking his nose making it go "Honkie honkie!"
"HEYYOUKNOWWHATIHAVETHISREALLYFUNNYJOKEWANNAHEARITWANNAWANNADOYADOYADOYAWELLTHERE'STWOMENINABARANDONESAYSTOTHEOTHERYOU'REGONNACRACKUPILOVEPUDDINGHAHAHAWASN'TTHATFUNNYHUHHUHHUH?" Espio screamed.
"What are you guys doing?" Starr screamed angrily. Charmy and Espio shut up. Jet looked startled. "I liked you the way you were! Maybe I don't love you guys like boyfriends but this was just disrespectful! I've been truly hurt!" and she ran off.
"Starr! Wait, sis!" Jet called.
"You said this would work," Charmy snarled. Jet chuckled nervously.
"Uh… I haven't seen her for sixteen years, don't blame me!" he said and dashed off. Charmy sat quietly and Espio honked his nose again. Charmy glared at him and Espio stopped smiling.
Later…
"I feel so stupid," Espio sighed lying down on the bed.
"Why?" Vector asked him.
"Because we embarrassed ourselves and made Starr mad," Charmy sighed.
"Well she forgives you guys," Vector said.
"SHE DOES! Wait… how do you know she forgives us?" Espio asked suspiciously.
"Uh… um… LOOK! CHRIS THORNDYKE!" Vector shouted.
"Ooh! Where?" Charmy squealed turning around.
"Ha, right, he doesn't appear until the next chapter," Espio smirked.
"… OOH! LOOK! A MIRROR!"
"Oh! Where's me?" Espio squealed. And when they turned around, Vector was gone.
"OOH!" Charmy growled angrily, "One of these days I'm going to-."
"Look!" Espio shouted, "Its Starr!" She was pacing on the beach as if she expected someone.
"Oh… where is he?" Starr mumbled.
"Hey, Starr!" Vector called.
"Aah! I thought you'd forgotten!" Starr screamed embracing him.
"What? She likes VECTOR?" Espio screamed. Charmy passed out.
"Course not! That's what… friends are for… right?" Vector asked.
"Oh, maybe not," Espio said. Charmy unfainted.
"Friends huh?" Starr smirked. Then she took his hands and touched the tip of her beak to his mouth.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Espio screamed. Charmy refainted.
