Disclaimer: WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT THIS STUPID THING!!!! Well, Vector, the rest of the Chaotix and Amy Rose (who is mentioned only once in this chapter) belong to SEGA. Sapphire belongs to me.

Presents, Pancakes, and an Apology
The next morning, Sapphire woke up early like she usually did. As she crept out of her room, she looked around and saw that everyone else was still asleep.
"Merry Christmas," she said to them very quietly.
Sapphire walked extremely quietly to the kitchen and started to get out the ingredients to make her famous chocolate chip pancakes.
~*~*~*~
The smell of chocolate and pancakes filled the room as Vector and the others started to wake up.
"What's that smell," Charmy asked childishly. The others started to sniff the air and Mighty said, "I know that smell anywhere. IT'S SAPPHIRE'S PANCAKES!!!!"
All four of them quickly got up and ran into the kitchen to see that Mighty's statement was true. Sapphire WAS making pancakes.
Sapphire looked over her shoulder and saw that the other four had woken up. "I see that you slept well," Sapphire said, noticing the looks of their faces.
Vector tried to take one of the pancakes that Sapphire already made, but Sapphire used a wooden spoon and slapped him on the wrist.
"You don't get anything after the way you treated me last night," Sapphire said to Vector.
Vector looked hungrily at the pancakes and then at the angry Sapphire. "How could you remember something like that?" Vector asked (lol…. If someone gets me mad, I don't forget things like that either). Sapphire just gave him the silent treatment and the cold shoulder.
Vector then dropped to his knees. Sapphire motioned Espio to get the video camera and he started to record it.
"I AM SOOOOO SORRY FOR TREATING YOU LIKE I DID SAPPHIRE, HONEST! I JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER WHO YOU WERE, CONSIDERING THAT I DIDN'T SEE YOU FOR YEARS! WILL YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME?" Vector said, with tears in his eyes and still on his knees, begging for Sapphire's forgiveness.
All Sapphire did was smile and laugh. "Did you get that," she asked Espio. Espio smiled and nodded.
Vector turned around and saw what was really going on. "You wanted revenge, didn't you," Vector said. Sapphire nodded.
"The best part is that it's going on YouTube," Espio said.
Sapphire laughed at how ridiculous they were all acting and said, "You all get something to eat before it gets cold." All four of the guys rushed to get the pancakes.
~*~*~*~
As the guys ate, Sapphire went back into her room, got changed, and pulled out some wrapped presents from under her bed.
Sapphire then walked out from her room and sneakily put the presents under the Christmas tree.
"I really wish I did this last night," thought Sapphire. "Oh well, it's too late now."
~*~*~*~
Once the presents that Sapphire wrapped were under the tree, the guys had finished their breakfast.
"That was delicious," said Vector proudly. The others nodded in agreement.
Vector got up and went over to Sapphire. "Why don't you go visit the others? I bet that they haven't seen you in ages," Vector said to Sapphire. "Yeah," said Charmy in agreement.
Sapphire could see through his statement. She knew Vector and the others wanted her out of the house so they could put their presents that they gotten for one another under the tree.
Sapphire thought for a moment and said, "Ok. I was wondering how everyone else was doing anyway." With that, Sapphire put on her coat and walked out of the door.
~*~*~*~
All of the guys were running around the house trying to put presents under the Christmas tree. It was difficult due to the fact there were a total of 4 guys in the house trying to unhide where they put their presents.
~*~*~*~
"How does Sapphire manage to deal with this kind of stuff," Vector said, thinking of a plan on how to get Sapphire back to the house without causing too much suspicion. "I don't know. However she does it, she's good at it," Espio replied.
They all tried to think of a plan to get Sapphire back at the house. As they did that, Espio went up to his room and called Sapphire.
~Phone Call~
Sapphire: Hello???
Espio: Hey Saph. It's me, Espio.
Sapphire: Hey! What's up?
Espio: Nothing much.
Sapphire: Are you sure it's nothing? You don't sound too sure.
Espio: All right. You caught me red handed. We need you back here. Vector's making a mess of the place.
Sapphire: *sigh* Ok. I'll be there in a moment. Bye!
Espio: Ok. Bye.
~End Phone Call~
As Espio hung up the phone, Vector called him from downstairs.
"HEY ESPIO! COME ON DOWN HERE SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT A PLAN TO GET SAPPHIRE BACK AT THE HOUSE!"
Espio sighed and went downstairs. "For your information, Vector, I already called Sapphire and asked her to come back home."
Vector looked at him in confusion. "Why did you do that? What did you use as an excuse to get her back?" he asked.
Espio looked at him and smiled in victory. "It was simple. I just called her and said that you were making a mess of the house."
Before Vector could say anything, Sapphire walked in the door and said, "Hey boys! I'm home!" Delighted that Sapphire was back, Charmy flew strait at Sapphire and hugged her. "Where did you go, Saph?" Charmy asked. Sapphire sighed and said, "I went over an old friend's house to see how she was doing."
Espio walked up to her and said, "You mean Amy? You haven't seen Amy Rose in a long time." "I know. I haven't seen anybody in a long time." At that instant, Espio and Sapphire looked at each other lovingly.
Tired of seeing Espio and Sapphire like that, Mighty said in frustration and impatience, "Ok, we KNOW that you and Espio love each other. Now can we open presents now?" Everyone then looked at Mighty and went over to the Christmas tree.
~*~*~*~
After everyone opened their presents, Sapphire went to her room. Espio made himself invisible and followed Sapphire to her room.
Once in Sapphire's room, Espio saw that she was practicing fighting with her katana. He decided to make himself visible again to say, "You need to make your stance a little more stronger and your attacks more agile." Sapphire jumped at the sound of Espio's voice. "Espio!" Sapphire said, "Please don't sneak up on me like that." Espio chuckled and said, "Sorry about that. I have to tell you something that's been bothering me."
What is it that's been bothering Espio? Does it have anything to do with Mighty's comment on weather or not that they love one another? Stay tuned for the Next chapter in this story.
A/N: by the way… I only put that statement up there because I'm a tiny bit hyper. Please Review and tell me what you think!!!
