Hi everyone. Nothing really to say excpet I hope you like this Chapter.
Chapter 3
It was a cool clear night tonight. The moon shining brightly, giving some light to the room of the Chaotix that were sleeping comfortably in their beds. The window was slightly open, so you can hear driving vehicles driving by in the night. Besides the cars it was peaceful enough to fall asleep in. Yes, everything was peaceful.. until...
Espio woke up when he heard a cry in the night. It was coming from another room a couple doors away from him. He lied up and began rubbing his eyes. He look over at the drawer that was beside Vector and looked at the clock. He couldn't see since the clock was turned diagonally in Vectors direction. He slowly got off the top of the bunk and walked over to the clock. It read 3:00. He moaned wondering who would wake him up at this time of night. He looked over to Vector who was sleeping on the side of the bed with his head off of it. Then to Charmy who seemed to have his hole body under the covers, even his head. He then heard the cry get even louder. He turned back to Vector and walked on the otherside of the bed to wake him.
"Hey.. Vector, wake up." he said shaking Vector.
Vector snapped his eyes open and looked up and saw Espio above him. He gave him an pissed off look. "What!?" he yelled.
"Someone is crying." he simply told him.
"Tell Charmy to suck it up and go back to bed!" He got up and lied back the right way in the bed and angrily closed his eyes.
"It's not Charmy. He asleep over there." Vector opened his eyes and looked over to Charmy who was asleep.
He laid up confused. "If thats not Charmy, then who the hell is.." His memory then came back to him. "Oh, I already forgot we were at Knuckles and Rouge's house."
Espio rolled his eyes. "Well then what are we gonna do?" he asked.
"What do you think! We're gonna find out who's crying."
"Should we wake up Charmy?" Espio asked, looking at Charmy.
"Nah, let the little baby sleep." Vector got off the bed. "Alright then, lets go."
Espio and Vector quietly walked out of the room so they wouldn't wake Charmy up. They started walking down the big hall in the dark to the direction the noise was coming from.
"God damnit!" Vector whispered out loud. "I can't see a god damn thing!"
"Well then take my hand."
"What! How could you even think that!"
"It's only for a second, Vector. I've adapted to the dark so I can see."
He then grabbed Vectors hand and tarted leading him to the noise. Once they have arrived, Espio turned around.
"This is Knuckles Jr's room." he told him.
"Well then lets go in and see why the little brat is crying."
"If Knuckles heard you calling him that he's beat you down."
"No he wouldn't, we're good friends remember, so come on lets go so I can get some sleep here!" Vector yelled at he walked up to the door. He seemed to be having some trouble finding the door knob. "Stupid freaken door! Where are you knob!"
Espio swat his hand away and opened it for him. once they've opened it, the crying became a lot more louder. Espio opened the door all the way and walked in. They then heard his cries soften a little.
"Mommy I had a bad dream." he told them. They both looked at each other for a second. Espio looked to the side and found the light switch and turned it on.
Knuckles Jr. froze as he noticed it was not his mother who walked in."What are you guys doing here? Where's mommy?" he asked Espio.
"I think your mother is asleep." He told him.
Knuckles Jr started tearing up again. "I want my mommy.."
Vector then stepped forward. "Aww no, don't start crying again! We're here for you now."
"What can you guys do?" he spat at them.
They both then looked at each other again. They actually didn't know. Once Knuckles Jr noticed they wern't answering he started tearing up again.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't cry! It was just a bad dream! Give it a rest kid!" he told him.
A moment after that Knuckles Jr broke into tears again scaring both Espio and Vector.
Espio gave Vector a evil glare. "Nice going." He said walking up to the crying echidna.
Espio held on both of his shoulders and said softly. "It's alright. It was just a bad dream. Whatever you dreamt about, we will never let it happen."
Knuckles Jr slowly stopped crying and looked up at him. He saw that he was smiling sweetly at him, like his mother and father would do to cherr hi up. This made him smile back at him. He then raised his hands at him. Espio looked confused at what he was doing. Once Knuckles Jr knew he wasn't doing anything, he just lifted himself up and jumped into his arms. Espio quickly grabbed him, so he wouldn't fall. Knuckles Jr smiled up at him, and Espio fond himself doing the same. Jr nuzzled himself on Espio chest getting more comfortable. Espio was frightened by his movements, but also feeling relieved that Jr already likes him.
Vector scowled when he saw this. "Why does he like Espio? Espio doesn't know ANYTHING about taking care of a child." he thought. "I knew I should have left him back at the Detective Office. And Charmy too."
"Well, I was feeling a little worried if I left David with you guys, but now I know you can take care of him." Espio, Vector, and Jr looked and saw Rouge standing there at the door entrance smiling at Espio. "Thank you Espio." She thanked him.
"Uh.. your welcome..."
"Mommy!" Jr yelled.
Rouge walked up to Espio and took Jr out of his hands. "Are you alright honey?"
"I am now, thanks to the purple man."
Rouge smiled and placed Jr back into the cradle. She tucked his covers in, so he can be more comfortable. She gave him a quick kiss on the forhead and told him goodnight. She turned back to Espio. "Go on.." She said to him.
Espio looked at her confused. "What?"
"Don't you want to give him a kiss goodnight too?" She asked.
Espio blushed a bit. "Uhh.. well.. I don't know.. I-I mean.."
"I won't go to sleep unless you give me a goodnight sleep." Jr told him.
Espio stared a little shocked. "Uh.. well, alright.."
Rouge stepped back a couple steps and Espio moved in an leaned in to kiss him on the forhead. Very quickly though, but Jr did not mind. He smiled at him and closed his eyes. Rouge smiled at Espio and started walking out the room. Espio followed behind and shut the light and closed the door completelt forgetting Vector.
Vector stood there in dark, not moving. "I'm gonna get Espio one day for this.." he thought and opened the door and walked out.
Vector ran after them and noticed they were already in a conversation, so he decided to listen in on it.
"David?" Vector heard Espio ask.
"Yes, I call him David whenever Knuckles isn't around. Thats his real name, so please call him that from now on when we leave, ok?"
"Alright."
"So we can't call him David in front of Knuckles?" Vector asked.
Rouge jumped and turned around. "Vector! When did- how did you get there?"
" Oh I don't know, I so happened to be in the room with you guys, but you ignored me! What the f- is up with that!"
"I'm sorry, I did not notice.."
"Yeah.. I know.."
"Sorry Vector." Espio apologized.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever. I'm going to bed." He said and grumpled his way back to bed.
Rouge sighed. "Well, good night Espio."
"Good night Rouge." And with that, they both walked back to there rooms.
The next morning Charmy slowly woke up from the bright light shining in his face from the window. He got up, yawned and rubbed his eyes and looked out the window. He saw that it was beautiful, clear day outside, which made smile brightly to himself. He got out of the bed and opened and flew out the door to the nearest bathroom. He noticed that it was closed and frowned.
"Hey! Who's in there! Hurry up! I gotta use the bathroom!" He yelled.
"Hold on a sec, will ya! I'll be out in a minute." Knuckles yelled back to him.
"I can't hold it in a minute! I'm not a girl!"
Charmy heard mumbling from the otherside and the door opened. "There! I'm out, happy!?"
Charmy flew past him and closed the door completely ignoring him. Knuckles grumpled and walked back to his room. Once he was finished, he flew out of the room, down the stairs to the exit door. He quickly opened it and flew out. "Sweet freedom!" he yelled to himself. He then flew to the backyard and noticed a lot of flowers that were planted on the ground. He made a huge goofy smile and flew into the flowers. Charmy sighed with happiness. "I'm going to love living here!" he said out loud to himself.
David slowly opened his eyes. His first sight was at the window, and smiled at how nice it looks today. His smile completely faded as he remembered something. His parents were leaving today. He wants to go with them, but he knew they would say no. He sighed and got up. He got off of his cradle and walked to the door. He could have sworn the purple man closed it before he left, but now it's open. He shrugged it off and walked out. As he walked out of the room he spotted Vector walking out and heading in his direction. He gave him an evil glare as he was walking toward him.
Vector spotted him and immediately greeted him. "Hey there little guy! How how are ya, this fine mornin'?
David just humphed and looked away from. He turned and slowly walked down the stairs.
Vector stared at him confused. "Ahh, he must have just woken up on the wrong side of the bed." he mumbled to himself and followed him downstairs. He continued to follow him into the kitchen where they both saw Rouge sitting at the table coffee.
Rouge turned around and saw them both walking in and sitting on the table. "Hey honey, Vector."
"Hi mommy." David sadly replied.
"Hey Rouge! How are ya this morning!" Vector happily asked her.
"Fine thank you." Rouge then noticed Davids frown on his face. "Whats wrong honey?" She worriedly asked.
"I'm okay.." he softly said.
"You don't sound to fine, You sure you alright kid?" Vector asked.
"I said I'm fine!" He spat at Vector.
Vector moved back when he yelled at him. "Someone's very touchy this morning.." he thought.
Rouge frowned. "Is this something you want to talk about alone?" She asked him.
David looked up at her. "Yeah.."
"Alright." And she motioned Vector to leave.
Vector frowned at walked out. He walked into the living room and sat on the light brown couch near the fireplace. He then sighed to himself. "I wonder whats wrong with that kid.." he thought to himself. Just then Vector heard footsteps walking down the stairs. He looked up and saw Knuckles walking down.
"Hey Vector." Knuckles said.
"Hey Knux, hows it goin?"
"I'm fine." he then started looking around for someone. "Wheres Rouge?"
"She's talking to Da- er.. Knuckles Jr in the kitchen."
"Oh, what about Charmy and Espio?"
"Espio is still sleeping and I haven't seen Charmy. He wasn't in his bed."
"Hmm."
Just then the doorbell rang.
"What the? Who would be visisting us this early in the freaken morning.."
Knuckles walked up to the door and opened it. To his surprise Sonic, Amy, Tails, Cream, and even Shadow were at his door.
"Hey Knuxter! Hows it goin!" Sonic greeted.
"What the heck are you all doing here? And so early?"
"We came to see you off, knowing we won't see you for awhile."
Vector saw Rouge and David enter the living room. David looked a lot happier now. Vector figured Rouge cheered him up about something.
"Hey Rouge!" Amy said happily.
"Hey" Rouge said a little suprised. "Come in." She told them. They all walked in and saw Vector sitting down on the couch.
"Hey Vector, long time no see!" Tails said happily to him.
"Hey Tails, Cream, everyone else!"
"How are you Mr. Vector?" Cream asked him as she and Tails walked over to sit with him.
"I'm doing great!" All three of them then started a little conversation together.
Amy turned her attention to David. "Hey Knuckles Jr! How are ya!"
"I'm good." he replied to her.
"Hey, sup David!" Sonic said.
Knuckles immediately shot an evil glare at Sonic, then to Rouge who smiled at him apollogetically.
David turned his attention to Shadow. He smiled brightly at him, but Shadow gave him the same usual look he gives everyone. David only kept smiling. He really liked Shadow and thought he was cool looking. He loved the way he acts around people too."Hi Shadow!" David happily said to him.
Shadow didn't answer him.
"Shadow, would you stop being rude and answer him for once.." Amy told him.
Shadow frowned and looked back at the kid. "Hey kid." he said coldly.
Amy frowned. David didn't care at how rude he said it, he still liked him.
"So when are you leaving?" Sonic asked.
"In about an hour or so."
"Glad we've came here a bit early!" Sonic said to him. "You guys packed?" he then asked.
"Yes we're packed. Infact, I need to put out bags in the car. Be right back everyone." Knuckles told them all.
"I'll help you Knux." Sonic offered.And with that Sonic went and joined Knuckles.
Everyone else decided to get more comforatable and sit down in the living room. Eveey now and thne they would see Sonic and Knuckles carrying stuff, bringing it outside and coming back in empty handed.
"So Amy," Rouge started, "Where is Angela?" she asked.
"Oh, she's outside in thr back yard."
Charmy was still outside lying in the beautiful flowers thinking about a lot of differant things. He couldn't stop smiling.
"Who are you?"
Charmy looked up and saw an unfamiliar blue hedgehog. She looked like Amy. "I'm Charmy the bee, who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Angela the hedgehog."
"I've never seen you around here before, do you live here?" he asked her.
"No, we came to visit here."
"Visit? We have visiters!?"
"Yeah, us."
"Oh, sweet! I must go and see them!" He said flying right past her, but turned around and asked, "You wanna come?"
"Okay." She said and followed him back into the house.
"Oh, I see." Rouge replied to Amy. She then turned to Cream and Tails. Something clicked in her head. "Hey, you two back from your vacation already?" she asked, looking at Tails.
Tails turned to her. "Yeah! We had a great time, right Cream?"
Cream smiled. "Yep! I even got some neat souvenirs I can show you and Mr. Knuckles sometime." She said sweetly.
"That would be nice." Rouge smiled at them.
Vector then noticed Espio slowly walking down the stairs. "Well it's about time you wake uo Espio." Everyone then turned to Espio.
As soon as Espio noticed everyone, he froze. "What are you all doing here?" he asked them.
"We just came here to see Rouge and Knuckles take off."
"Oh.." he replied.
Espio heard footsteps walking down the stairs and he looked up and saw Knuckles and Sonic with more luggages and he quickly moved out the way. Knuckles was about to enter out until Charmy bumped into him causing all the luggages to fly in there air. One of them bopped Sonic upside the head and he fell down with the luggages all on him. Knuckles fell to the ground and immiediately gave Charmy an angry look, who Charmy in return gave him an apollogetic look. Everyone except Shadow started laughing at what has happened.
"Charmy, you idiot! Watch where your going!" Knuckles yelled.
"Sorry."
"So thats where you were. Outside huh Charmy?" Vector said.
"Yep! I couldn't resist. It was soo nice out!"
Sonic then popped his head out of all the luggages. "But grandma, I don't wanna go to school.." he randomly said, obviously dizzy from what happend. Everyone laughed.
Knuckles got up and lifted Sonic up as well. He started slapping Sonic accross the face a couple times. "Snap out of it Sonic!"
"Ugh.. ugh.. ay'.. Ow.. Ow... Ow... Knuckles.. Ow.. Stop!!.. ow!" Sonic complained. Knuckles stopped and looked at him.
"You fine now?"
"Yes, i'm fine! jeez!" he said rubbing his cheeks.
After that moment was when Angela came in. She looked and saw her father rubbing his cheeks, and her mother ad everyone else laughing.
"Did I miss something?" She asked.
Everyone turned to look at her.
"Oh, Angela over here!" Amy said.
Angela then walked over to her mother. "Chaotix, you proabaly might not remember her, but this is Angela, my daughter."
Vector immediately greeted himself first. "Hey Angela! I'm Vector the croc, nice to meet you.. again.. I think.."
"Hi Vector." she shyly said.
"Hey, I'm Espio the Chameleon."
She simply waved at him.
"And you've already met me!!" Charmy yelled happily. Angela just smiled shyly ay him.
"Come one Sonic, lets get moving." Knuckles said walking outside with the luggages back in his hand." Sonic quickly re-picked his up and ran out.
Hour later...
Everyone was standing outside the house looking at Knuckles and Rouge.
"We hope you two have a good time!" Amy said.
"I hope so too." Rouge said.
"Like we said, we'll take good care of Egghead, so you guys don't have to worry about him." Sonic said.
"Alright, but if you guys are in huge danger, please come get us."
"Right."
Rouge and Knuckles walked up to their son. David seemed to still be a little upset but Rouge did tell him that they will come back very soon.
Rouge bent down to his level. "I'm gonna miss you. Take care okay honey?" she said hugging him.
"I will."
Knuckles rubbed his head a bit roughly. "Be good, alright?"
"I will."
And with that they both got into their car. "If I ever get a bad report out of my son, you will pay!" Knuckles yelled from the car.
The Chaotix all sweatdropped. "Don't worry! He'll be okay!" Vector yelled.
And after that they drove off with everyone waving good-bye.
Alright, gonna end it here people!
Just to let you all know that Eggman will be in this story sometime later causing destruction and the Sonic crew and Chaotix are going to have to fight him off while Knuckles and Rouge are enjoying themselves. So yeah.. that will be later. The next chapter will be about how the Chaotix will take care of the child. Do they know what to do? Are they going to be good 'parents'? Is David ever going to like Vector? Find out in the next chapter!
I've realized I made a mistake about the ages. I've made the Chaotix have the same age when they should have been 5 years older. I have fixed this problem, sorry about that people.
8/27/07 - 3:30 AM.
Okay, I've made yet ANOTHER mistake! god damnit! I just happend to go back to the beginning to read my story to see how it was since I haven't read it in a while. In the beginning it said that Tails and Cream were suppose to be on a vacation. And here in this chapter I wrote them with Sonic and the others visiting Knuckles and Rouge and David. Jeez, wtf is wrong with me!!! I always make a mistake with those two! Omfg! I did something like this on my 'Vacation' story! I always make a mistake with those two! Why them!? I know why, I never notice them thats why! There like nothing to me lol. I still love them, but I hardly ever notice them. I guess thats why I don't have much CreamTails. In fact, just for forgetting them I should create a story with JUST those two. Yeah, but later..
Ahem, anways, Hope you all liked this chapter people!
