Chapter 14 — This is how women have absolute power over men.
Same Day: 5:30ish pm
Tails' Home; Living room: Julie-Su, Espio, Sonic, Shadow, Shadow II, Amy, Cindy, Mac and Knikatu;
Still red in the face, Julie-Su waited for everyone to leave. Sonic lay on his side with his back to everyone. He stated he wasn't going to be moved. Espio's blush had slightly faded, but he looked either to the side or at the ground, refusing to make eye contact. Shadow and Knikatu let out a little snicker once every four to six seconds. The silence was short but it felt like a long time.
Everyone either stared at Espio, Julie-Su or the floor. A suddenly yawning attracted everyone's attention to the steps;
"Holy…" Mac stared wide eye at who it was.
"Oh my god! It's apocalypse!" Shadow II screamed like a little girl, throwing his hands up, he ran around in two circles and out of the room.
"Damn! And people say I'm lazy!" Shadow said, jaw hanging as he stared at her.
She stood there, rubbing one eye. She wore light purple, silk pajama pants Amy had told her to buy, since she was going to be here a great deal of time. The cotton shirt she wore was white and long. It probably went just pass her waist line (Hey that's long for girls that I know.). The quills on her head were ruffled and out of their natural straight habit. The pink quill strands were the most noticeable. A few hung in front of her eyes and others were crooked and you tell easily that she had just woken up and had not combed her hair at all. She yawned once more and looked at the eyes staring at her;
"What?" Katie groaned, "What are you doing?"
"Do you know what year it is?" Sonic said as he sat up.
"What?" She looked at him strangely.
"Katie," Amy began, "You been asleep most of the day, it's already…" Amy looked around for a clock. She leaned over and took Sonic's arm and pulled his glove, looking at his watch. "It's 5:36."
"Okay…so I was tired and slept in more. Big deal."
"Slept in more? Do you know what you missed?" Knikatu asked, shocked that she could sleep through everything that happened. "You missed their big fight, man, Espio threw Julie-Su off the deck and then she tossed him through the window! And now we found out its cause they like each other!" Katie looked at Espio and Julie-Su wide eyed.
"Talk about tuff love." She said moving the quills in front of her eyes and then ran a hand through her hair, trying to straighten it.
(Hair, quills, blue and pink stuff on her head, it's all the same!)
"I do not love him!" Julie-Su shouted her blush still deep.
"Will you stop lying?" Sonic shouted back, "Just admit it! He gave that expensive thing and you didn't see anything in it? Please, what kind buys random jewelry for girl? Admit it!" Sonic pointed at the purple chameleon who was the hot topic of the hour, "If Espio's big ballin' like that, then I'm sure you'll be secured money wise with him! And everyone knows that's big plus." He said gesturing to him.
Julie-Su used her gloved hand and covered her mouth, hiding her hanging jaw; her blush had faded to vague tone;
'That was a little much wasn't it? Financially secure? Was he talking about later in life?'
"See, told ya." Sonic smirked as he looked at Espio. Julie-Su's silence and blush said it all to him. "So Espio, where you taking her on your first date?"
Espio's left twitched as he glared at him. He gritted his teeth and refused his mind's wishes to kill him: too much work to cover up a hero's death. He let out a growl that did not move Sonic;
"You know, I recommend either 'Blue Lake' or that one Spanish restaurant by the steakhouse." He smirked evilly. "I'm telling ya, go to either one of those, guarantee you'll be tuggin' on them pink dreadlocks by the end of the night."
"You son of a—!" Espio ignored the pain on his leg and leaped over the arm rest and began choking Sonic.
Shadow looked at Julie-Su who face was a bright red. Julie-Su covered her face with her hands from that embarrassing comment. Hiding her blush was the only thing she could do, killing Sonic would have to wait till she could fully move without any pain.
"Oh my god!" She managed to muffle out. "This is so embarrassing! Can't we just let it go?"
"Well…if Espio can let go of my neck I'll stop!" Sonic managed to wheeze out.
Shadow smirked as he watched Espio lift Sonic's head and slam it back down, over and over. "And I thought today would be boring." He said quietly.
"Alright, c'mon stop." Amy said in a normal tone. Espio ignored her and continued, "I said stop already!" She shouted, making him stop his choking.
"Espio sit your butt over there!" Amy pointed next Julie-Su.
"And I should listen you why…?" Espio said.
"Let's see, I am fully mobile and you can barely walk, shoving my foot down your throat doesn't seem like much of a challenge!" She shouted, her anger overcoming her patience.
"She's got a point, you might wanna move, and make a move while you're over there." Sonic gave a sinister smile as he nudged Espio with his elbow.
"God damn I wish your weren't so famous! I could kill you and drag your body to the nearest slum and no one would ever know!" Espio growled. Amy made her point and he obeyed. He moved slowly towards the empty space near Julie-Su, and I mean slowly.
"Well, as he takes his sweet-ass time, Shadow, get Sonic out of here! And everyone else out!" Amy said, shouting her orders.
"Man! Again? Why do I have to be moved?" Sonic crossed his arms and pouted, "Why can't we just watch how it happens? I mean Knux and Rouge were watching when we did our thing—oh shit…" Sonic cupped his mouth as he let it slip. He blushed a little as he looked around, especially at Shadow.
"And I didn't want to get out of bed today!" Shadow began to snicker, "I knew it! I didn't need these kids to prove it either!" He pointed at Mac and Katie, "You do like her! Damn, the one time I decided not to bring my camera! Damn, I never have it when I need it!" He broke into a light laugher.
"Shut your mouth and come pick me up!" Sonic said crossing his arms and fighting a blush.
"Yeah right, you got one leg, do like Espio and move yourself—"
"—Shadow!" Cindy growled, glaring at him.
"Alright, alright, damn. Why do you guys even care about him?" Shadow asked as he walked over to Sonic, "All he does is bitch—(Smack) damn it! Will stop hitting me?"
"Will you stop cussing?" Cindy hissed at him.
"Alright you lovebirds, we're leaving, do your thing, but keep it PG, I live here too remember! Later!" Sonic smirked as he was hoisted onto Shadow's shoulders. He winked at Espio;
"She liked Knuckles; she probably wants someone who dominates!" He snickered as he was carried out of the room.
All that was left was an enraged chameleon with a deep red face and a pink echidna with her face buried in her hands.
Kitchen/porch area.
Shadow immediately put Sonic in a chair at the table. Amy walked into the kitchen area of the room. Everyone else stood a comfortable distance away from everyone else. Shadow II was acting normally again and came out of the porch and entered the kitchen/dining room area.
"Okay, question one, what the hell is up with you guys?" Mac asked as he walked in.
He noticed that Crystal was sitting at the table, a furious look on her face as she sat; arms crossed and pouting. Rouge was sitting on the counter eating an apple, very calmly; she hummed silently to herself. Knuckles had a vague tone of red on his cheeks as he leaned on the open entrance of the back deck, he looked in the direction of the floor but had his eyes closed.
"Nothing," Crystal gritted her teeth, "Nothing's wrong."
'Okay, she's not happy. Note to self, check for any recent screw ups or forgotten dates,' Mac smacked himself mentally, 'Damn and I forgot her birthday, more important note: Make up for last screw up.'
"Okay, second question," He said adverting everyone's attention to him, "Why are we in here, and where the hell is Tails?"
"Downstairs with his girlfriend, now then, what's up with you two?" Sonic looked at Knuckles and Rouge. "Knuckles, are you still confused about Julie-Su and Rouge?"
Knuckles glanced up and gave a low growl, "Sonic just shut up before I tell Amy what your little 'runs' really are."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey buddy, that is not related to this matter," Sonic avoided looking at Amy, who was now eye him suspiciously. "Now then, why is Rouge in a good mood over there, Crystal's pissed over here and you look like you always do, grumpy!"
"He's kind of tick and confused, just leave him alone." Rouge said as she took a bite of her apple. She seemed content.
"Okay, so Crystal," Sonic looked at the angry echidna/bat girl who was now gripping the plastic cover of the table. "Why…are…you…mad?—don't kill me!" Sonic flinched into a defense position; he was scared of Crystal, for some strange reason.
She glared at him. She took a deep breath and relaxed a little. "Because it's not fair!" She shouted, "It's not fair! I was supposed to do it!" She slammed her fists on the table. She gritted her teeth; suddenly her head fell on her now over lapping arms. She didn't sound like she was crying, it was more a whine. "I was supposed to bring them together…"
"Yes! It's not my fault!" Mac said excited, he was happy for a few seconds, "So wait, what are you mad about?"
"I don't wanna talk about it." She muffle with her head down.
Rouge her eyes and gave an annoyed sigh, "Drama queen." She said quietly. She took another bite of her apple.
"Do you know?" Katie asked, very confused.
Rouge rolled her eyes again and tossed the apple into the sink nearby, "She wanted to be the one who brought me and Knuckles together. She wanted to be the reason, in other words, she wanted be famous for hooking up her own parents."
"Ha-ha! It is true! I knew it! You can't talk your way out this one Knux!" Sonic shouted, evilly excited, this was too good to be true.
"Who said I was going to?" He mumbled.
"Wha? When did all this happen? Oh c'mon not you too?" Sonic grabbed his quills and pulled on them, "Man everyone is giving in! First Shadow, then you, Espio, Tails is a work in progress and even my own son! What kind of shit is this? Shadow, what happened to 'Love is for people who care'?" Shadow rolled his eyes;
"C'mon Knux, you were the one who said 'Not a chance in hell' I mean c'mon you were the people who I thought would never give in! (Sigh) This sucks, it happens and I can't even make fun of you…damn…I give up." Sonic let his head drop onto his arms on the table, he mumbled something about being whipped lovers; Shadow and Knuckles let it slide;
"You people have killed my only joy!" He mumbled loudly. He lifted one hand in the air and pointed with his index finger randomly around the room, "I hope you're happy, you all killed me! You've killed what makes me happy! And for what? Your personal joys? How selfish of you people…" His hand fell down.
Rouge opened her mouth to speak but Sonic interrupted with his finger and mumbling again.
"P.S., you people suck!" Everyone stared at the hedgehog with his head down and his finger in the air. "Carry on." He waved their attention away.
"Sooo…" Rouge began, one eyebrow raised as she looked at Sonic, "What happened with Julie-Su and Espio?"
"Oh I got this!" Sonic said excited as he sprang back into a sitting position. Everyone stared at him, "Espio likes Julie-Su, and she likes him back because he's loaded with money! He bought her a $3000 bracelet, and I bet likes her because…er…um…" Sonic search for a reason in his head.
"Hey he never did give us a reason…" Shadow said realizing that fact, "Hey Espio!" Shadow shouted as he jogged back into the living room;
"Son of a…that little sneak!" Shadow stared wide eyed at couch there was an empty space next Julie-Su who had her eyes closed as she sat up. She sat next to arm rest on her left, but leaned slightly to the right.
"Espio you little sneak!" Shadow shouted making Julie-Su's eyes open slowly.
"Shadow?" She mumbled, her voice sounded drowsy. She sat up slightly and put a hand on her back, she still hand bad pains there.
"Where the hell did that punk go?" Shadow asked harshly walking closer to the couch, "Espio? Where is he?"
"What are you talking about he right—huh?" Julie-Su rubbed her eyes as she looked to her side. "But how come," She lifted a hand and reached over to feel the couch next to her, but for some reason, her hand stopped in the air, it touched something.
"Shit!" Something yelped, it sound like it right near them. Julie-Su out of curiosity gripped what she felt in the air.
Another yelp, it was right next to her.
"You sneaky little!" Shadow growled grabbing the air right next to her, Espio appeared, gagging as Shadow choked him, "You were trying to get out of this and the 30 bucks you owe me, weren't you?" Shadow growled and shook him once.
"Well guess what?" Shadow said evilly, "I'm gonna get my money and the info I want too, but not only that, I'm tellin' Vector and Charmy about this, you can count on it!"
Julie-Su stared at her hand right now. She stared in slight disgust and confusion;
'Oh my god, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, I gripped it!'
A bright and deep red blush rushed to her cheek as another thought came in, another deep more embarrassing thought. She ignored her thoughts and looked up at Shadow, who was holding Espio up by his neck, choking him;
"Where's my money you stupid purple thing?" Shadow shook him again.
"I gave all my money to Mac!" Espio wheezed out, "Let go! I need air!"
"Okay fine, I'll take that answer," Shadow loosened his grip on Espio's throat, "But now you have to explain everything to Rouge, Katie and well…later on Vector and Charmy, and be warned, you pull another stunt like this one, I'll make sure the whole world knows!"
Espio smiled nervously, he didn't have of a choice;
'Damn, I knew I shouldn't have said yes to sleeping here, now Charmy is gonna have field day with this…maybe I can stick him in fridge like at that one Christmas party…'
"Let's go purple man, your woman can wait." Shadow literally dragged Espio behind him as he walked back to the room with everyone in it.
He tossed him forward slightly, "Fess up!" Man, these people are determined.
"Ow…damn, I hope none of you want to become doctors." Espio rubbed his arm. "What do you want now, haven't you embarrassed me enough?"
Rouge eyed Shadow strangely, "Jeez Shadow, just break his other leg while your at it." She slid off the counter, "So Espio…"
"What?" He said a bit angered.
"What do you see in your pink friend over there?" She asked as she walked closer, grinning.
"I'm leaving," He began to crawl away.
"Oh c'mon, I'm just curious." Rouge crouched down near him, smiling. "What do you see in Julie-Su?"
"I plead the fifth." He mumbled.
Rouge raised an eyebrow, "Okay…I'll guess then."
"Nice personality?" Espio crossed his arms.
"Oooh, maybe beauty?" Rouge smirked as she noticed him move uneasy. "How about, comfort?"
She grinned evilly after a short pause, "Oh I know what you see in her." Rouge leaned towards and spoke very softly near the side of his head.
Within an instant, every saw Espio's arms drop and his cheeks blush deeply. He turned himself invisible;
"Rouge, I hate you." He mumbled as he leaned against the wall.
"Oh-oh-oh-oh! I know what it is!" Sonic said like an excited child, "Espio, do you think she's got a body?" He chuckled.
Espio remained invisible and silent.
"Wait, that's it? That's not that embarrassing!" Mac said half bored.
"It's the way she said it." Espio mumbled.
"Yeah she said do you like her because she's got—" Knuckles was cut off as the phone rang.
"Rouge, check who it is on the caller I.D. if it says Dee-Doll pick up and hang up." Sonic mumbled as he pointed to a corner of the room that had the phone. Rouge was closest to it and walked over and read the name.
"It's for you," She smirked picking it up. She tossed it to Sonic. When he read the name on the phone he dropped it immediately, scared;
"Oh hell no! One of you guys pick it up and say I'm not here!" He said pushing the ringing phone away.
"Who is it?" Shadow asked looking at the phone. "Oh…Knuckles, you get it."
"Sally…" Sonic mumbled putting his head down.
"Wuss, fine, I'll get it." Knuckles mumbled as he picked it up and pressed the 'Talk' button with his thumb;
"Hello?" He said. Everyone could here a small mumbling from the phones speaker, "Yeah, sure hold on." Knuckles pressed a button on the back of the phone and put it on the table. Everyone stared at the phone in amazement, idiots…
"Is it on speaker?" She asked.
"Yeah, go ahead." Knuckles said as leaned back against the wall.
"Okay, first of all, Sonic I know you can hear me," Sonic slammed his head against the table, cursing silently, "It's over, and I'm over it, so you don't have to avoid me. Guys we've run into a complication."
"What are you talking about?" Amy asked, she moved closer to the phone.
"Hey Amy, well you know how we had that island searched?" Someone responded yes, "Well thing is, that little army is still being run, reinforcements came, they didn't succeed but that's not what I talking about—"
"Sally can you just get to the point?" Sonic said from behind the phone.
"Well if you hadn't interrupted me, I would have said it by now. Jeez I hope Amy has a lot patience, she's gonna need every bit of it with you if it happens." She seemed more at ease with that fact now. "Like I was saying…before the retaliation came to the island, way before it, we found Eggman—"
"Umm…I don't get it…isn't that good?" Mac asked scratching his head.
"Mac? Stop interrupting me! Here's the big thing, we found Eggman…dead." Everyone let out a gasp. Julie-Su had gotten up when she heard her friend on the phone. Everyone looked each other, very surprised.
"Eggman never could have order that retaliation."
"How was he dead Sally, do you know?" Sonic asked before anyone could speak up.
"Report states he had wire wound to his neck and a blade wound on his arm."
"Sound like that one lady with the one big thing that tried to eat Crystal." Mac pointed at Crystal with his thumb, who frowned.
"Mac, I know you have a short term memory but c'mon, how hard is it to remember her name? It's Night!" Crystal shouted.
"Both of you be quiet!" Sonic yelled with a fatherly authority, "Sally, do you think she could have taken over?"
"I dunno', I mean it's possible but I don't know this person. But if she had the right contacts or the right situation she could take over. If she has control, well she's better than Eggman on some matters, her strategy is better. Air bomb first, land tanks, with that air cover along with tank cover, troops poured in and put up a good fight. But we got lucky and managed to win, that island is ours. We have someone tracing the tech equipment."
"What now?" Sonic groaned.
Sally sighed, "We can't do anymore. I think you guys should focus on getting those kids back. I'll call if I get anything."
"Later then…" Sonic mumbled.
"Bye."
Everyone said their byes, when a click sound Sonic picked up the phone and hung up.
"Waste! Complete f—king waste!" Sonic shouted tossing the phone across the room.
All stared at him, he seemed mad. He gritted his teeth;
"Man, what do we have to do to prevent any of this?" Sonic growled slamming his hands on the table. "We go on that damn base, we risk our lives not to mention theirs," He made a hand gesture at the kids. "We had him this close, we basically caught him, and now what? Night takes his place!" He held his head. He was frustrated beyond belief.
"Sonic calm down." Amy said quietly, "We'll figure something out."
"I don't know…" Sonic put his head down, "Man, there's no way around this." He mumbled. He sighed, "I can't believe this, after all this, after everything we did and we didn't have any affect anything!"
"Where's Tails?" Espio asked. He was still invisible.
"Downstairs with Cream." Sonic mumbled, "Someone go get him, we need to figure out how we're going to get these kids home." No one said anything in response.
"I'll do it." Shadow walked away, heading down the steps.
5 Minutes Later
"Ow let go!" Tails yelped, "C'mon man, my tails are sensitive!" He let out one tear as Shadow yanked him into the kitchen by his tails. Tails hugged his tails and petted speaking to them softly;
"It's okay…shush…he won't hurt you again." He whimpered as he tried to comfort his pain.
Cream came up slowly, rolling her eyes, she had gotten nowhere with Tails. The boy is like Johnny tight-lips.
"Shadow, you're anger issues are worse than Knuckles." Rouge said raising an eyebrow.
Tails whined once more, "What is it, my tails are in pain!" He kissed one tail tip. Cream rolled her eyes and let out annoyed sigh.
"Tails," Sonic began, "Ask the kids what you wanted to ask them before." Tails looked at the sadden blue hedgehog strangely, "It's long story, don't look at me, just do you're thing."
Tails shrugged, he sat on the counter. "Do you guys remember what you had to do to get here?"
"Sort of…" Mac said;
"Kind of…" Knikatu mumble;
"I do," Crystal said quietly;
"Yeah I remember most of it." Katie said;
"Not all of it…" Shadow II said crossing his arms.
"So…" Tails looked at them, his expression expecting an answer.
"We used all the Chaos Emeralds," Mac began;
"Then Brian put them on some mounted time warp beam thing," Shadow II added;
"Yeah then that gun had these little claw things that stretched the air creating a big white warp hole, Brain warned us that he wasn't sure if it would last long or if he could get us back." Knikatu said;
"Yea, he told me something like…snap, what did he say," Katie's eye squinted as she remember his exact words, "Particle claw grabber…he said use that thing and convert it using the Chaos Emeralds! He said if you position it in the same area of entrance we should be able to come back!"
"Tails is that enough?" Sonic asked sitting up, "Think you can go on that?"
"I have the idea…but the problem is where to start!" Tails closed his eyes, "I got the idea. The Chaos Emerald's power can be used to create another version of Chaos Control, one the lets you move through time in great distances instead of speed warp."
"Better get to work buddy." Sonic said, finally smirking. "I know where most of the Emeralds are, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem, and if it is, what got the entire treasure hunting family here!" He smiled and gestured with both hands the bat-echidna family. "Tails get your butt to work, we're running out of food and Mac has bottomless stomach. And I'm broke now." Sonic said looking inside his glove.
"Man, that's all I ever get to do!" Tails grumbled as he got off the counter, "I hope Dee-Doll calls and Amy picks up." He mumbled as he walked downstairs.
"Who is that person anyway?" Rouge asked.
"Don't worry about it." Sonic said brushing it off, "Now, that everything is settled, get him," He pointed at the empty space were Espio was, "Julie, and all your asses out of here!"
"You're kicking us out?" Julie-Su huffed, "Sonic I knew you were rude but jeez!"
"Fine, you're injured, stay till you can walk home, everyone else especially you," He glared at Shadow, "Get out!"
"Hey, I'm injured too." Espio grumbled,
"Arrgh fine! You and you're girlfriend can stay," Julie-Su growled, "And don't give me any lip woman I'm not in the mood! Stop denying it!" Sonic crossed his arms. "Someone…I need at lift to the couch or my bed."
"Well, you kicked us out, later blue boy." Knuckles began to walk out of the room.
"I can't believe I'm saying this…Shadow?"
"I'm busy." He said his eyes closed and arms crossed, "Cindy, whose house?"
"I guess mine again." She sighed as she got up, "C'mon let's go I have to make an important phone call before it gets too late."
"C'mon, let's go before Knucklehead decides to ditch us again." Rouge said yawning again. Knikatu walked by, ignoring a cry for help from Sonic.
"Is no one going to help me?" Sonic yelled, "I can't believe you people!"
"Well you're kicking us out," Crystal huffed as she walked by him.
As time passed by Sonic never thought once to say anything. And one by one they each left till there was no one but Mac, Amy, Cream, Katie, Julie-Su and Espio.
"Dad," Katie began;
"I know Katie…" Sonic grumbled, "I know…Mac get your ass over here and help me."
Amy rolled her eyes and sighed, "You two fighting over the same bed again?" She changed her glance from Julie-Su to Espio who just now made himself visible.
"Let her have it, I'm calling for a ride to my house." Espio mumbled as he leaned against the wall for support as he slowly stood up. "Is that phone broken?"
"Aw c'mon Espio, don't leave me like this!" Mac said helping his dad, "You're the only guy here, my dad don't count all he does is yell at me!"
"No I don't!" Sonic glared at him.
"Yeah you do, dad let's face it, ever since that bullet wound, you haven't been nice at all!" Mac started moving Sonic.
"Just shut up and get me to the couch." Sonic mumbled.
"Mom…" Mac whined, "Can't you get dad to stop yelling at me?"
Amy rolled her eyes and sighed heavily, "Oh my god…" She covered her face with her hands. "That's it, I'm ordering delivery and I am going home, I can't deal with you people any more!"
"Amy…" Julie-Su mumbled, "You cannot leave me alone with these idiots…I beg you, if you leave at least take me with you."
Amy sighed heavily again, "Oh boy…well no deserves to suffer like that…fine…you guys lucked out this time. So who wants what?" She grabbed the phone and began to tap the long antenna of the phone gently against her head.
"Pizza!" Sonic shouted as he left the room.
"Anything, no veggies!" Mac said as he came back into room.
"I don't care, just as long as it isn't grease soaked, like those disgusting pizzas." Katie mumbled.
"Julie?" Amy groaned as she pointed with the phone at her.
"Chinese seems to be a better option to me." She looked at Katie and then towards the room behind her, "These two are going to be at each other's throat if we decide to get pizza."
"Least there's one sane person in this house now." Amy mumbled as she looked around, "Espio, any ideas?"
"I say chicken." Espio made his way to living room, "Wings, order Chinese, get me seven wings and pork fried rice, no vegetables, I get you on the bill later." He grunted as he made his way pass Julie-Su and dragged his right leg behind as he got closer to the couch.
"Seven wings?" Julie-Su asked, her eyebrows raised at the quantity of the food he wanted.
"And pork fried rice, no vegetables." Amy groaned, "Once again, I'm left alone to feed everyone, I don't even know if I have enough money to cover all this."
"There's fifty dollars in the cookie jar in one of the cabinets…oh and bring me two sugar cookies while you're at it." Sonic yelled from the living room.
"Julie, Katie, Mac, what do you guys want to eat?" Amy looked at the three in the room.
"Chicken and broccoli!" You could see the drool dripping from Mac's mouth, "Extra chicken, no broccoli though…"
"Idiot…orange chicken." Katie said as she took as seat. She reached for the TV remote in the center of the table.
"Give me two wings and pick some chicken off of Mac's dish," Julie-Su said as she stared at the turned on TV.
"I want beef and broccoli!" Sonic yelled from the couch, "And where the heck are my cookies!"
Amy rolled her eyes, "Mac get him his cookies…" She pushed some of her quills back, and looked down at the phone and remembered her younger friend, "I'm sorry Cream, you've been very quiet. You want anything?"
"No, not really." She looked at the clock above the TV on the counter, "My dad is supposed to pick me up in a little while."
"Wait I thought Vector never married your mom." Mac asked his attention finally off the TV.
"You mom is seeing Vector?" Amy asked amazed, "They're married? I wasn't invited or even told about the wedding! Cream how could you not tell me?"
"Well it was private; my dad didn't want anyone to know. My mom never said anything about it. So I just kept quiet about it, I didn't think it was a big deal."
"Thanks a lot Cream…thanks a lot, you know how much I like weddings!" Amy huffed and crossed her arms.
"Sorry Amy but…oh c'mon you really think I'm going to go against what my dad wanted?"
"You could have just let it slip out…" Amy made her lower lip quiver and made a puppy face.
"Man, I've known that since a year ago! And where the heck are my cookies!" Sonic yelled from the room, "C'mon Amy order the food, I'm starving!"
"Just hold on a sec!" She shouted back, "Cream your parents have been married a full year?"
The rabbit nodded happily.
"Whatever." Amy sighed, "Let me get this food and maybe I finally get some sleep." She started dialing numbers…oooh very exciting.
On the way to Angel Island; With Red boy, white boy, the batgirl Sonic is scared of and Rouge. (6:10ish pm)
Rouge walked on the left side of the sidewalk and Crystal walk next to her. Knuckles walked with them, he was in between Crystal and Knikatu, who was closest to the road.
"The one day we don't have a car." Knikatu groaned as he force his feet to move normally.
"Knikatu…shut up." His dad grumbled.
"Knuckles…" Rouge said sternly.
"Alright, alright…I'm just hungry…and he's been complaining for the past ten minutes non-stop." He sighed, "Sonic's right though…what a waste…I'm still gonna die…damn this sucks."
Rouge let out sigh, "Knuckles just try not pay any attention to that…"
"Yeah dad, you shouldn't, just enjoy the time we have together." Crystal said with a smile.
"Whatever…its not you guys know you're to die in the future." Knuckles grumbled silently.
"Dad just ignore it!" Crystal said annoyed, "Here, carry me! We'll talk, that'll take your mind off of that." She said happily as she jumped on his back. She hugged his neck tightly and smiled.
"I swear if you weren't—"
"Knuckles…" Rouge threatened quietly.
Knuckles let an aggravated sigh, "Fine…what do you want to talk about?"
"So, what do you think of us now?" She asked moving up his back more so she could rest her chin on his head, "I remember you kind of hated us in the beginning of all this, what now?"
"I…I—what kind of question is this?" He asked her.
"Dad…just say something, are you still afraid of us? Do you like us or do you hate us?"
"I'll answer that one, I don't like him." He pointed and glared at Knikatu.
"Me? What? Why?" He seemed surprised,
"Because it's your fault we got caught by Eggman in the first place!"
"Oh my god not this again! Everyone just drop that!" Knikatu smacked a hand to his face, "Its Mac's fault!" He muffled out.
"And what about me?" Crystal moved her head so it was right next to his. He could see her from the corner of his eye, "What do you think of you're daughter?" She smiled, as she thought she knew the answer;
"Eh…" He mumbled.
"Eh? What do you mean?" She gasped.
"You have low-standards." He sighed.
"Low-standards? What do you mean?"
"One word, Mac."
"Dad!" Crystal groaned, "Why can't I like him?"
"Because one, he's an idiot," Crystal groaned as she sighed at the same time, "Two, he's related to Sonic, and there no way in hell I want to ever be an in-law to him or that pink thing of his!"
"Amy," Knikatu said reminding him,
"Whatever," Knuckles responded. "I hope you two break up." He chuckled.
"Dad, that's not funny," She whined, "What do you think about me?"
"Well you're like your mom, persistent, talkative, blames me, disagrees with me, annoying me—(Smack) Ow!" Knuckles sucked his teeth, "Rouge I was kidding!"
Rouge huffed, "I don't care, is that what you really think I am?"
"May…be—(Smack) Ow! I was kidding on that one too!" He rubbed his cheek.
"Dad stop playing around. What is your opinion, do you like having me as a daughter or what?"
"How am I supposed to answer that? You're my daughter, how am I supposed to say something if I barely know you?"
"Say something! 'I'm happy about you, you shouldn't blah, blah,'" She suggested.
"Okay…I'm disappointed with you."
"What? Dad! How?" She slid her body to side so she slightly face-to-face with him. She glared for an answer. If you were to pass by in a car, it looked strange seeing this as they walked.
He pulled his head back slightly, "I'm kidding, dang I can't make one joke without getting threatened, jeez." He looked at Rouge and then to Knikatu strangely. "I'm giving you a piggy back ride, ain't that enough?"
"No," Crystal scoff, "This is first and maybe the only time I get to be with my dad and I can't get along with him! Just tell me what you think of me, you're only daughter!" She would've crossed her arms if it weren't for the falling off thing.
The glare she was giving was starting to bug him. He sighed and his arm went around her and he suddenly rubbed her head, "I'm proud of you okay? You're the only thing I have to look forward to right now." Rouge smiled to herself, the fatherly side of Knuckles was sweet and nice, much better than the other one he uses around Sonic.
She was please with his answer, she hugged his neck tightly. Crystal smiled, "I love you dad." She kissed him on the cheek.
"You too." Knuckles couldn't help but smile;
'I wonder what she would've said if I said anything else…hmmm…makes you wonder…'
"Hey, what about me?" Knikatu asked as he crossed his arms.
"You're different," Knuckles said, his old tone making reappearance.
"And that means…" Knikatu gave him a look urging him to keep talking.
"Go to your mom because you ain't getting nothin' from me!" He pointed with his thumb to Rouge, "And by the way, she still doesn't know so better answer to her, you lucky I didn't punch you on the spot."
"What'd he do?" Crystal asked with a confused look.
"Listen," Knuckles looked at Rouge who was looking Knikatu now. Her face was full of suspicion, she bit her lip; letting him know she was getting impatient.
He remained quiet, "Well? I'm waiting." She crossed her arms.
"I got in trouble…" He mumbled.
"What kind of trouble?" Her tone was hard.
"I…well…"
"Legal trouble…" Knikatu groaned and covered his face as his father kept going, "We're talking $600 in damages."
"600?" Rouge looked at Knikatu, she couldn't believe it. "You did $600 in damages alone?"
"Um…" He muffled out.
"Um what?" Rouge smacked his arm, "Why did you do it? What were you thinking?"
"Oooh you're gonna get it now." Crystal said evilly, "Not only is this mom gonna get you but I'ma tell mom…again." She grinned.
"Little snitch." Knikatu growled at her.
Cindy's Home; With Shadow & Cindy;
(6:30ish pm)
"How does a person like you have 'San Andreas'?" Shadow said referring to her video games.
Cindy was usually against fighting and violence. She liked to talk things out or him case: smack him and declare herself right. She was passive and anti-violent and yet…she possessed Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas…self explanatory. But just incase you've never played it or even heard of it (God forbid that, you must have been in your basement for what, 3 years? And had no outside contact.) Here's a short section on it.
Shadow II was in the living room playing the game. He was currently setting the road and people nearby on fire. In the game of course, he felt that the people needed to be burned for some reason, even the old crippled lady in the game. He felt it was his duty to set them on fire and then do it again if they were to be revived by a paramedic.
(That never gets boring ha-ha)
Cindy was currently upstairs with Shadow talking. And as of now, on the verge of smacking him for the seventh time, he had been saying she was like hypocrite.
"You say I shouldn't cuss, but the dude in the game cussed at an old lady when he shot and robbed her and that's okay?" Shadow didn't care if Shadow II played it, it was just the idea that he couldn't do the same things because he was 'real' or 'father' or 'father figure' right now.
"Shadow, you're his dad, he needs to see that even though it's in a game, his father doesn't do it. Your job is to be a role model to your son!" Cindy pleaded.
"Cindy, he's thirteen. He cusses, he flips people off, hell knowing you and me combined he's probably done more crap then Sonic and Knuckles put together!" He said in harsh but quiet tone.
"You trying to say something about me?" Cindy raised an eyebrow as she put her hands on her hips.
"Yeah, you ain't as clean as you think or want to be!" He retorted.
Cindy huffed and looked at him with a shocked expression, "How dare you?"
"Hey it's the truth—(Slap)" Shadow frowned and looked at the floor. He gently cupped and slowly started to rub his cheek.
"Now before you say anything that'll make me do worse…I'll tell you why I wanted to talk to you in private." Cindy turned from angry to loving in less than a second. She put a hand on his shoulder and leaned on him;
"I wanted to get Shadow a chao."
"Why would I want chao? They're stupid and pointless things—(Smack) Ow…" Shadow rubbed sore spot on his cheek again.
"Not you! Our son, didn't you see the look on his face when he said he couldn't afford one?"
He looked up, "Eh…I was paying attention to more important things." He shrugged with a slight grin.
"Like what?" She leaned back slightly to a more upright position. Crossing her arms she raised an eyebrow again.
He grinned noticeably and leaned forward and to the side slightly. They were very closer before, so when Shadow leaned forward and to side more, his chin was just above her shoulder and he could see her back side. He smirked as he looked down;
She huffed and pushed him back, she had a vague blush, "Pervert."
"Hey, hearing Sonic bitch makes you think of…things of…more interest." He said slowly, as he had found the right words.
Well Cindy didn't think so, "Oh so now I'm just a thing of interest?" She raised an eyebrow.
He grinned, "I never said that, you're the one who said it."
She gave a low growl, "Whatever, I'll let it side this time. But really Shadow," Her tone changed again from stern to soft, "I want to get him a chao, you know like a parting gift."
"Wait…you want me to pay for one?" Shadow backed away. Unfortunately he back into a corner.
"It's not that much, I have bills to pay and I can't spare anything right now." She gave him a soft look.
"What kind of chao?"
"A good one, maybe a shiny one or better."
"Shiny?" He shouted softly, "That's like 1000!"
"I know but it'll make him really happy." She walked slowly towards him, closing the two foot gap.
"I don't care if it makes him rich and powerful, I stay at 25!"
"No chao cost 25 Shadow." She said dully.
"Well too bad for him."
"Shadow…please, it's for your son." She leaned on him now, her head on his chest, "Then could you at least do it for me?" She said softly, that usually got him.
"But a shiny one? 1000? C'mon…" She looked up at him and mischievous look on her face;
"Oh no, that ain't gonna work. It worked once and now I'm immune to it. You got me that one time from Cream's birthday and that's it! It ain't gonna work." He fought the pleasure he got as she played with his chest fur. It slowly turned into a pleasing rub/pet. He tried to back away more, his body fitting the corner of the wall; he wished could back through the wall and run off before she could catch up. She rubbed the side of her head on his chest as she pet his fur, a lusty purr from her made him break;
"Okay fine!" He shouted, finally summoning the will to push her away, "Just don't do that! You know I can't fight that, felt like I could have dragged you to the floor!" She giggled as she ran back into him, hugging him tightly.
"I knew you would," She smiled leaned in more making their noses touched, she nuzzled his nose and then his muzzle. "Don't worry; I'll pay you back if you want." She led him into a kiss. Giggling as he tilted his head, deepening the kiss. He started the French kiss, she dragged it on. Her purring made him tense; he frowned as she pushed his hands off her hip, making it worse by giggling. She broke off, she needed air;
"Don't worry about it." He smirked at her, "It'll come sooner or later." He grinned as he wrapped his hands around her; he lowered them and groped her butt.
She bumped his head with hers and huffed playfully, she still clung to him, "I gonna have to get you neutered."
He pupils shrunk to the size of a pea. His smirk turned to a nervous frown, "Please tell me you're kidding."
She smiled evilly and giggled and began to walk away.
"Cindy?" He asked nervously.
She gave him a mischievous look as she walked down the steps.
His knees bent inwards and he held his hands over his important tool. He looked scared to death, "You were kidding right?"
She giggled again, not giving an answer. He bit his lip and looked around, trying to spot anything sharp or blade like. Thoughts of doctors with blades filled his mind, his paranoia began. He began to whimper at the thought.
We ain't that far now! Almost end!
Till 15 peace! This was more of humor chap in my view, I hope I covered some of the loose ends, partly at least.
R&R if you and please, give an idea or suggestion of where to head if you want, I might do it, as long as it isn't completely new (Plot line wise.)
Snowman is out!
