Chapter 5
Vector looked down in grief at the house that he once lived in. He found it hard to believe that it had just been burnt down to the ground in a matter of minutes.
"My house...my beautiful house!" Vector said, dropping to his knees. "I didn't even finish paying it off!"
He turned around slowly and looked at Espio, Aundrey, and Charmy with a death glare.
"Who did this?" Vector asked the 3 in a very calm and silent voice with his eyes closed.
All of them were too afraid to speak.
"WHO! THE HELL! DID! THIS!" Vector roared.
Charmy took a step back, leaving Aundrey and Espio in front of Vector.
"Aundrey? Espio? I'm waiting for an explaination." Vector said, tapping his foot.
Aundrey sighed. "Ok. This is what happened..."
30 minutes earlier...
Aundrey decided that if she wanted to go through with her plan, she would have to hurry.
She got off of the couch and went into Vector's office to use his phone.
She looked throughout his contacts for a pizza place.
"Let's see...Ah! Shadow's pizza!" She said, dialing the number. She waited until someone came to the phone.
"Welcome to Shadow's Pizza, the only pizza place in the world where the pizza kills you. How may I help you?" Shadow asked.
"Yes, I would like 30 of Shadow's inferno pizzas for delivery, please. Also 10 pieces of crazy bread." Aundrey said.
"30? Are you sure? You did hear about the part where I said the pizza kills you, right?"
"Yep."
"Oh, alright. Just checking. Anyway, your total is $178.96. How will you be paying?"
"Just put it on Vector the crocodile's tab."
"Alright. And where is your address?"
"Well dude, hell if I know, just come to Vector the crocodile's damn house, ok?" Aundrey said, getting impatient.
"I'll be there in a few."
"Thanks." Aundrey said, hanging up.
The next thing Aundrey did was run to the Baskin Robbins down the street. She browsed around at the different flavors.
"Excuse me." Aundrey said, getting the attention of the jolly fat man.
"Ho ho ho! What can I do for you, little girl-"
"Shut up and tell me the deadliest flavor of ice cream you have here!" Aundrey shouted at the man.
The man looked stunned, but ushered for Aundrey to come into the back of the store with him.
The man grabbed a lit torch and walked down the overly exaggerated long stairs.
He pointed to a container that was green and had a skeleton's head painted onto it.
" Now, before I give this to you, Do you want to hear the very long story of the history of this ice cream?" The man asked Aundrey.
"Yeah. Because right now, I have all of the time in the world for this party that I'm about to throw." Aundrey answered sarcastically.
"Plus, I DON'T have to catch the pizza guy that's coming soon, so go on ahead."
"Well, alright. This ice cream was believed to be possessed by Satan himself over 5,000 years ago-"
"I wasn't being serious! Did you not catch my sarcasm?" Aundrey exclaimed.
"Oh, my apologies. Do you want this ice cream to go?"
"Yes! How much is it?"
"It's free, just get the cursed thing out of here!" The man said, throwing it to Aundrey and running away, screaming.
"Whatever." Aundrey said, taking the ice cream and walking back to the house.
When she got home, she walked past a black and red demonic looking hedgehog with 30 pizzas in his hands.
"Uh, hey, I got a call to deliver 30 inferno pizzas to this address. Can I get you to sign this waiver?" Shadow asked, giving her a sheet of paper.
Aundrey read the waiver.
"I, _ , agree that by eating this deadly pizza, I am responsible for any injuries or fatal conditions that might happen to me. I also promise to not sue Shadow for my sheer stupidity." She read.
"Sign here, here, and here." Shadow told her.
With hesitation, Aundrey signed the waiver. Shadow began to cackle, then shook his head.
"It was nice knowing you." He said, walking away.
"Kay'. Bye, sexy." Aundrey said, smirking.
She opened the door to the house and put the pizzas down.
"CHARMY! ESPIO! I HAVE FOOOOD!" Aundrey called.
Meanwhile, in Charmy's room, Espio and Charmy began to question if they should go down there with Aundrey.
"I don't think we should! What if the food's poisonous?" Charmy asked.
Espio thought for a moment.
"We can always go see what she has to offer. I mean, did you see the stuff we put her through today?"
Charmy nodded his head.
"BOYS! or bee and chameleon, whatever. COME EAT!" Aundrey called again.
Espio shrugged. "Meh. Let's go see what she has."
Espio and Charmy came down the stairs to the kitchen. When they got there, their eyes grew wide to see posessed-looking ice cream and evil smelling pizza sitting on the table.
"Well, don't just stare at the food! Eat up!" Aundrey encouraged.
Espio and Charmy looked at Aundrey with a blank stare.
"Do you really think we're gonna trust you? After all of that that you put us through?" Charmy asked her.
"Pretty much, yeah."
"Well, it's not going to work this time. That pizza could be poisonous." Espio told her.
Aundrey opened one of the pizza boxes. A red dust in the form of a skeleton's face came out of it, laughing evilly.
"That's just the added flavor they used." Aundrey said, shutting the box.
"What about the ice cream? Why is it green?" Charmy asked.
"Haven't you heard of sherbet?" Aundrey asked, getting plates and bowls.
"Then you eat it!" Charmy dared.
Aundrey gulped. "Fine! Wimps. Can't take a little spicy pizza and possessed ice cream..." She muttered, fixing herself some of the ice cream and pizza. She sat down at the table.
Espio and Charmy sat on both sides of her. "Well? Aren't you going to take a bite?" Espio asked.
Aundrey raised the pizza to her mouth, but before she could bite it, the doorbell rang.
"Hehe, there's the doorbell. I'll be back." She said, running to the door.
Shadow stood at the doorway, with a box of crazy bread.
"You forgot this." He said, handing Aundrey the bread.
"Thanks, handsome." Aundrey flirted. "Wanna come in and, you know, have some pizza and ice cream?"
Shadow rolled his eyes at her. "Nah. But I'll come in to watch you guys eat the pizza, though."
Shadow came into the house.
"Guys, we have a guest!" Aundrey said, introducing Shadow.
"Oh, hey Shads." Espio greeted.
"Hey Esp." Shadow replied.
"How's the girlfriend?" Espio asked Shadow, smirking at Aundrey, who glared at him.
"I broke up with her."
Aundrey's ears perked up. "Is that so?"
"Enough talking Aundrey. Eat the pizza." Espio told her.
"Only if you eat some with me!" Aundrey said quickly.
"Fine." Espio agreed.
Charmy and Shadow watched as Espio and Aundrey both ate the pizza that was presumed deadly.
"Ahh! I can't watch!" Charmy said, covering his eyes with his hands and peeking through them.
"Hmm..." Shadow said, watching the two intently.
After they were done with the pizza, they helped themselves to some ice cream.
"I don't get it! Why isn't the pizza having any effect on them?" Shadow asked.
"Maybe you left out an ingredient?" Charmy suggested.
"No, I never leave out the key ingredient. That's what makes the pizza deadly." Shadow told him.
"DEADLY?!"
"...Did I say deadly? What I meant to say was that's what makes the pizza flavorful."
Espio and Aundrey finished eating the food and groaned.
"Whoop. There it is." Shadow said, smirking deviously.
"Ow...my stomach hurts." Aundrey said, her hair turning into a bright red.
"Aundrey...did your hair just change colors?" Espio asked her.
"Did your body just change colors?" Aundrey asked him.
Espio's normal purple body was turned into a red pepper like color.
"Aah! Why is my body red?!" Espio shouted.
"That's my cue to leave." Shadow said, slipping away from the three.
"Call me maybe!" Aundrey yelled to Shadow.
"Don't count on it." Shadow said, leaving.
"Oh, come on! It worked for that Carly Rae Jepsen girl, but not me?" Aundrey grumbled.
"Keep your mouth shut! Your breath is hot!" Charmy said.
"Excuse me? I brush my teeth everyday!" Aundrey argued.
"No, your breath really is hot! As in it breathes out fire!" Espio exclaimed.
Aundrey looked down at the flames surrounding her. "Cool..." She said, touching the fire. "OUCH! IT STILL BURNS!"
"Duh. You don't command fire, you imbecile." Espio said.
All 3 of them were so deep in conversation that they didn't even realize that the house was beginning to be engulfed in flames.
"...Do you guys remember that Adventure Time episode when that hitman commanded fire? It was pretty cool." Charmy said.
Both Espio and Aundrey nodded in agreement.
"Do you guys smell chicken?" Aundrey asked.
All three of them slowly turned around to see that the house was covered in flames.
"CRAP!" Espio and Aundrey shouted, grabbing Charmy and running out of the house.
But a big piece of wood fell in front of the exit, preventing them from escaping.
"DAMN! Everybody upstairs! We'll have to jump out of the window!" Aundrey said.
"Won't we, you know, GET KILLED?!" Espio shouted.
Aundrey opened the upstairs window.
"Better killed than burned, I always say!" She said, jumping out of the window.
Espio and Charmy gasped, but laughed when they saw Aundrey get her head stuck in one of the watermelons in Charmy's garden.
"haha! You know, I just realized. I'm a bee. I can fly out of the window." Charmy said, doing just that.
Espio was the only one who remained in the house, and the flames were rising.
"You guys! What about me?" Espio yelled down to Charmy and Aundrey.
"What about you?" Aundrey asked, confused.
"How am I supposed to get down?!" Espio shouted.
"Duh! Jump like I did!"
"I'm afraid of heights!"
"Oh. Looks like you're gonna have to die today, then." Aundrey shrugged.
"I keep hoping there's a less obvious answer." Espio said, rolling his eyes.
Aundrey thought of a plan to get Espio to jump.
"Espio! Charmy said he's gonna catch you!" Aundrey lied.
"No I didn't !" Charmy said, but was shushed by Aundrey.
"Charmy's totally gonna catch you, bro. Just trust him."
Espio looked back at the flames that were growing near him.
"Fine. You better catch me!" He finally said in defeat.
Espio jumped out of the window with a shriek, landing straight on his face.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CATCH ME!" Espio growled.
"You're alive, aren't ya?" Aundrey teased him.
They all got out just in time to see the house collapse all at once.
The three of them just stood there, shocked.
"We are in a world of trouble when Vector gets back." Aundrey said, shaking her head.
"What's with all of this "We" stuff?! I wasn't the one who ordered the pizza, was I?" Espio argued.
"You ate the pizza though!"
"You ate the pizza and burned down the house with your hot breath!"
Vector pulled up in the driveway.
"Great. Just great. I wanted to live at least until my bar mitzvah!"
Espio and Charmy both stopped panicking and gave Aundrey a blank stare.
"1. You aren't Jewish. 2. You are not a boy!" Espio pointed out.
"Eh, I heard it on TV so I thought it was like a party or something." Aundrey shrugged.
"It is a party. It's just a party you can't have." Espio responded.
Vector got out of his car, whistling with his eyes closed.
"Everyone act natural." Aundrey whispered. "We're in this together."
Vector came up to the house while Espio and Charmy hid behind the remains of what used to be the house.
"WHAT THE LIVING HELL?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOUSE!" Vector shouted.
Aundrey looked to see Espio and Charmy hiding behind the remains, looking over at her. "You guys! Wait for me!" Aundrey said, joining them.
Vector opened his eyes and screamed. The gang finally came to the conclusion that Vector found out about what happened to the house.
"ALL OF YOU! OVER HERE NOW!" Vector said.
Present time
"So you destroyed my house, threw a party, snuck into my office, used my tab, invited a boy over AND wasted my premium ice cream?! THAT'S IT! YOU'RE FIRED! GET OUT!" Vector yelled.
"But! No!" Aundrey said, grabbing onto Vector's leg.
Espio and Charmy looked at each other with happy anime eyes, giving each other a high five.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Vector growled at Aundrey.
"COME ON, MAN! I'LL BUY YOU A NEW PAIL OF ICE CREAM! PROMISE!" Aundrey cried.
Just then, a car pulled up into the driveway. It was the client who's car got stolen.
"Ms. Rachel? What are you doin' here?" Vector said, still trying to pry Aundrey off of his leg.
"I came by because you forgot your check for 10k! Thanks again for helping me." Rachel said, driving away.
Vector stared at the check, mouth watering. To avoid getting saliva on her, Aundrey let his leg go.
"So. Now that you have that check, am I fired still?" Aundrey asked innocently.
"Wha- No, No. This money will repair everything..." Vector said, almost in a trance.
Aundrey grinned and looked in the direction of Espio and Charmy.
"You hear that guys? I'm not going ANYWHERE." Aundrey said, going over to the both of them and hugging them.
But the both of them were too shocked to respond, and burst out crying.
"There, there. I'm sure you'll find a way to get rid of me next time." She said, patting their backs and smiling cutesy like.
OH! THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO GET RID OF HER! XD! Boy, Vector sure does love his money...
