Thank you, fellow 4Kids haters!
RECAP: She looked up. Sonic and Knuckles were staring down at her. She stared at them for about a minute when Sonic broke the awkward silence in the only way he saw appropriate.
He cracked up.
"BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!"
"Shut up Sonic."
Airie agreed to let Sonic and Knuckles take her to the Thorndyke mansion, leaving her things behind . Airie was sick, so she didn't have that much of a say in the matter, since both of them said that the area often had landslides. Sonic followed behind while Knuckles picked her up 'bridal style', which caused Sonic to go into another chorus of 'Knuckles got a girlfriend!'.
Knuckles stomped on his foot again. Airie, sick as she was, still gave him a death glare.
They finally arrived at the mansion. Sonic didn't even have to knock on the door. They already saw him coming.
"Sonikku! You're back!" Everyone's favorite pink hedgehog, Amy Rose, almost killed him in one of her 'Hugs of Death'. She noticed Knuckles standing right behind them, smirking at Sonic's pain. "Nakuruzu! You're here too? Aiieee! Who's that?" She gestured to Airie, who was starting to fall asleep. "Not sure." Knuckles replied. "But she's burning up. She needs a place to rest." Amy nodded. "Right. I'll get the others."
Airie heard Amy call for Tails, Cream, and Chris. She also saw what looked like the blurred shapes of Ella and Tanaka. Everything else went black after that.
Airie had been sick for one day. Every so often, Amy, Chris, or Sonic would come in to check on her. Sonic was annoying at times and kept asking where she was from, but it was still nice of him to check on her. Having another girl to talk to was even better, so Airie could talk to Amy a little more openly. Chris was a good kid. Airie never did understand why people hated him or referred to him as a 'Microsoft Fanboy'. (A/N: People I know do actually call him that!) She could relate to him because her parents were never around either.
Still, she didn't tell them about where she was from or how she knew them. They'd just assume she's acting out of her sickness. Then again,Airie wouldn't need to either.
While she slept the day they brought her to the mansion, Chris's grandfather, Chuck, took a small strand of her hair. He hooked it up into one of his inventions (A/N: I dunno, you make it up) to check who she was and if she was telling the truth. He was shocked to see a human girl pop up on the screen. He did some more snooping. She had no birth record or anything like that in Station Square. This was not normal. Chuck then came to the conclusion.
The next night, Airie was regaining her strength little by little. Over the time she realized her hearing increased and she could see things farther of in the distance. Hardly enough to explain things, but a nice perk. Cream came in her room with Cheese. Although Airie had been in SA2's Chao Garden, she never thought she'd see one up close. Cream started to get sleepy and laid her head on Airie's lap. Airie smiled.
'I wonder… Is this what I was like, Mom?' she thought. She started to sing Cream to sleep, using her mother's lullaby. Cream smiled and Cheese used Airie's head as a pillow.
"The worlds are filled with desire...Their voices cry for freedom...Although as fate they will fade away...Thus sending them to salvation"
There was clapping coming from the door. Sonic was standing there, apparently after hearing Airie sing.
"Very nice, Keys." He said with a smirk. "I mean, 'Look out Kelly Clarkson'! Y'know, you could go pro, righ-"
Airie threw a foot stool and it hit Sonic straight in the face. "Just WHAT is wrong with you! Why were you watching me! Are you some kind of a stalker or something!" "Uh, w-well, you see…" "I can't belive you'd just sneak up on a girl like that! You're just lucky I couldn't reach that desk over there, you little cre-!"
Airie's new hearing her Sonic-bashing moment. She heard something that sounded like earth falling and the howl of a wolf.
"Airie? Airie? Hello? Earth calling Keys!"
Sonic's voice interrupted Airie's chain of thought. "The tent…" she gasped. "Huh? What about the tent?" asked a very confused hedgehog.
"There was…a landslide."
Sonic- Why did you make me look like some sick pervert? It's bad for my rep!
K.O. - Because its fun to torture you!
Sonic- Fun for who?
K.O. – For all the Sonic torturers in the world!
Sonic- WHAT Sonic torturers! Everybody loves me!
K.O. - If they all love you then why is Shadow getting his own game AND a gun, huh? And why do theyall think he's cooler than you?
Sonic- Well I…aww, shaddup!
K.O. – See you next time people!
