Chapter 7 is here! I hope you like it! (If you don't, eh...here's a stick for your troubles :P )
Chapter 7
It was just another extremely average day at the Chaotix's headquarters.
Vector was listening to some of his favorite songs with his headphones, Espio was making lunch, Charmy was dancing in the mirror in the restroom, and Aundrey was recording every second of it.
"Welcome to 'Animals gone wild'. Here, we see the 6-year-old bumblebee, presumably dancing to one of his favorite songs while, in fact, singing it." Aundrey whispered, as she recorded Charmy dancing and singing in the mirror.
"I'M SO FAN-CY! YOU ALREADY KN-OW! I'M IN THE FAST LANE, FROM L.A. TO TOKYO!" Charmy screamed more than he sang.
"Horrifying, isn't it? It seems to think that there really is a fast lane from L.A. to Tokyo. Has he forgotten about the ocean? It appears as though it has stopped- wait, what's this? It appears as though he has changed the station!" Aundrey whispered to the phone.
"MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD, DANG RIGHT, IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS!" Charmy screamed, er, sang.
Aundrey was silent momentarily, until she started laughing uncontrollably. Charmy jumped and turned around towards her.
"Aundrey?! You were watching me?!" Charmy yelled, chasing after her.
"And this concludes 'Animals gone wild' ! I'm your host, Aundrey, signing off." Aundrey said, running away from him.
Charmy and Aundrey ran around the entire house, while Espio watched, shaking his head.
"At least it's not me this time." Espio shrugged.
Charmy and Aundrey continued running until they passed by Vector, who was sleeping in the living room. They started to walk quietly.
"You better give me that phone or I'll tell on you!" Charmy said, using his eyes since they couldn't talk.
"Oh, I'm scared. Not." Aundrey said, sticking out her tongue.
"You'll get grounded!"
"You'll get a beatdown."
"Don't threaten me!"
"What? I can't read your eyes!"
"Don't threaten me!" Charmy yelled out loud. Vector jumped to his feet.
" Wha-?! who's there?!" He turned around and saw Aundrey and Charmy.
"Figures. Aundrey you're on dish duty and toilet duty for 4 months."
"What?! Why!" Aundrey said in disbelief.
"Because you are supposed to be grounded and in your room." Vector said plainly.
"Ugh. You are KILLING me..." Aundrey said, while trying to swat Charmy away from getting her phone.
Just then, Vector's office phone started to ring.
"I'll get it!" Charmy exclaimed.
"The hell you won't! That's probably my babygirl calling." Vector said, rushing to get the phone.
Charmy and Aundrey decided to set aside their fight and go eavesdrop on Vector's phone call.
"I bet he won't call her babygirl when he answers the phone!" Aundrey joked.
"Hi, miss Vanilla! How are ya? I'm doing great! Super to be exact!" Vector said, on the phone.
"What did I tell you." Aundrey said, shaking her head. "No game."
"I dunno. Maybe miss Vanilla likes guys with no game." Charmy said.
"You gotta have game." Aundrey insisted.
"What are you two simpletons doing?" Espio said, coming out of camouflage from the wall.
"Nothing that concerns you." Aundrey and Charmy said, continuing to listen to the conversation.
Espio crossed his arms. "I'm going to tell."
"Ooh. That hurts. Stop stabbing me with your warnings." Aundrey said sarcastically.
"I can always stab you with something for real." Espio said, taking out his kunai throwing knife.
"You may have weapons, but I have two of these." Aundrey said, holding up her fists.
The two were ready to duel, but remembered that they were in front of Vector's office, so they couldn't talk so much.
"Ready?" Charmy asked. Espio narrowed his eyes at Aundrey, while she did the exact same thing in return.
"Fight!" Charmy said quietly.
"Hey, is that Jackie Chan?" Aundrey asked.
Espio looked behind himself. "I don't see any-"
Aundrey snatched Espio's kunai out of his hand and punched him in the stomach.
Espio fell over and attempted to get up, but Aundrey sat on him.
"Can't...breathe...Charmy help..." Espio called with a raspy voice.
"I got your back bro!" Charmy said, going to help.
"Charmy if you help him, I'll show everyone that embarrassing video of you!" Aundrey threatened.
"You're on your own." Charmy said, shrugging.
Vector came out of his office.
"You guys, I have some great news! Miss-" Vector started, then stopped when he saw Espio and Aundrey wrestling on the floor and Charmy happily watching.
"Alright, break it up!" He said, pulling the two away from each other.
"Not even worth my time." Aundrey muttered.
"The feeling is mutual." Espio glared.
"Anyway, I have great news! Miss Vanilla is staying with us for a few days! So put on your best behavior when she comes, ok everybody?" Vector said.
"OK!" Charmy yelled.
"Ok, Espio?"
"Mmh-hmm."
"Ok, Aundrey?"
"Yo, where is she gonna sleep? In my room? Because I can't-"
"AUNDREY...!"
"Alright, damn!"
"She should be coming in about an hour. So that's an hour you guys have to tidy up this house." Vector told the trio.
Aundrey raised her hand.
"Yes, Aundrey?"
"Why is she coming, exactly?"
"Well, Cream wanted to spend the summer at Sonic and Tails' home, and so she decided to come around here and help with things."
"Isn't that like, what I'm for?" Aundrey asked, confused.
Vector burst out into an obnoxious laughter.
"That did not answer my question."
"Now go! Clean! Miss Vanilla will be here soon!" Vector instructed.
An hour later...
The house was spotless. Espio and Charmy did all of the work while Aundrey sat and watched episodes of Degrassi.
"Hey Aundrey, how come you didn't clean anything?" Charmy asked her.
"I asked Espio to do it for me."
"And he listened to you?"
"I kinda don't have a choice." Espio muttered under his breath.
"Huh?"
"It's a long story, Charmy." Aundrey said, turning upside down on the couch. "Now shh, these two are fighting!"
"But you have to love ME! And not her! I'm SOOO much hotter!"
"You may be hot, but she's the one for me."
"I WILL NOT LOSE YOU AGAIN!" The girl said, kissing him violently while his girlfriend watched.
"Just like Shadow and I." Aundrey laughed.
"Just like Shadow and I." Espio mimicked. "You wish."
"What was that, Espio? You want me to take your allowance again?"
"Yes." Espio said, trying to find willpower to stop himself.
"Um, yeah, no. You can't fight it." Aundrey said, snatching the money.
There was a knock on the door.
"I got it." Aundrey said, flipping off of the couch.
She opened the door to see a rabbit lady with a purple dress on.
"Hello. What's your name?" Vanilla asked softly, smiling.
Aundrey looked at her like she was crazy for a moment.
"A- Aundrey." She answered, kind of uncomfortable.
"That's a nice name, Aundrey. Just like your pretty red hair. May I come in?"
"Umm."
"Hi miss Vanilla! Of course you can come in! I'll get your bags." Espio said, doing just that.
"Miss Vanilla! I missed you!" Charmy said happily, giving her a hug. "Did you bring cakes and pies and cookies and stuff?!"
Vanilla chuckled. "Don't I always do? Now, can you be a dear and put this basket in the refrigerator?"
Charmy nodded and went into the kitchen.
Vector came downstairs angrily.
"I knew I heard Degrassi on! I've already told you, no damn Degrassi in this damn house because I don't want Charmy-" He stopped when he saw Vanilla sitting on the couch.
"Miss Vanilla! Hey!" Vector said, attempting to play it off.
"Psst. It's babygirl." Aundrey whispered.
"Aundrey why don't you go help Espio?"
"But-"
"Aundrey..." Vector said, glaring at her.
"Alright." Aundrey said, going upstairs.
When he and Vanilla were alone, he turned to Vanilla and chuckled nervously. She didn't look too amused.
"What have I told you about cursing around children?" Vanilla asked him.
"I'm sorry! It won't happen again. Would you like some tea, m'lady?"
"I would love tea, thank you." Vanilla said, smiling.
Meanwhile, Aundrey went up the stairs to go find Espio.
"Espio? Where oh where is purple butt?" She said quietly.
"Right here." Espio said, appearing out of no where.
"AAH! Ok, you are going to stop dammit doing that, or I am gonna have to fight you."
Espio scoffed. "You have to touch me, first. I know Tae-qwon-doe."
"Yeah? Well I know whoop-your-as-"
"STOP ALL OF THAT DAMN CURSING IN HERE!" Vector shouted from downstairs.
"Hypocrite, much?" Espio said, rolling his eyes.
"That wasn't us! We're playing Shadow The Hedgehog and he's trying to find that...d- word...fourth chaos emerald!" Aundrey yelled back.
"Oh. Well turn it down a notch." Vector said, resuming his conversation with Vanilla.
"Look, what do you want? You know I can only tolerate you for so long." Espio said.
"Alright. You know that rabbit lady?" Aundrey asked.
Espio gave her a blank stare.
"Who? Jessica Rabbit?" He asked sarcastically.
"Haha, very funny, but no. The Vanilla ice cream one, or whatever."
"Vanilla? What about her?"
"Ok, I wasn't going to say anything in front of Vector or Charmy, but-"
"Get on with it."
"Vanilla Rabbit is evil." Aundrey blurted out.
Espio stared at her for a few seconds.
"Aundrey. What the h-e-double hockey stick are you talking about?" Espio asked.
"I'm so serious right now it's not even funny. Vanilla rabbit is evil." Aundrey said again.
"Do you have any proof to back up your theory?" Espio asked.
"Yep! Here's why: When I met her, she was NICE! NICE! How obvious is that?! I doubt if we need more facts besides this one, but if you need more-"
"Yeah I do."
"Okay so the next fact is that she can't stand cursing! Only someone evil would scorn something that they do probably EVERYDAY.
The last reason is the way she speaks. That fake voice is obviously just a cover up for the demonic voice she really has!" Aundrey finished.
Espio shook his head.
"So, you think that she's evil just because of the fact that she's nice, she doesn't like cursing, and of her gentle soft voice?" Espio asked her. "You're kidding, right?"
"Boy, you sure put a lot of details into it. If I didn't know any better, I would say you had a crush on her." Aundrey smirked.
"Why would I steal my best friend's girl?"
"Why WOULDN'T you steal your best friend's girl? So you admit it! You DO like her! If you guys date, you won't be able to come around me any more. I have a strict no evil policy that I follow!" Aundrey said.
"Oh?! Is that so? Do you remember these words? 'It's necessary to support evil'! " Espio exclaimed.
"I said on Halloween! But Espio, your future wife is going to be evil all year long, including Halloween! What are you gonna do?!" Aundrey asked him seriously.
"I'll tell you what I'm gonna do." Espio said, reaching for his kunai.
"Wha-? Where's-"
"Looking for THIS?" Aundrey taunted, holding Espio's kunai.
"Give that back! It's too dangerous for you to have!" Espio exclaimed.
"Puh-lease! Anthropomorphic animals shouldn't be playing with sharp weapons. Help me out, and I'll give it back." Aundrey smiled.
Espio sighed. "Fine. What do you need help with?"
"I'm glad you asked! So anyways, here's the plan..." Aundrey said, whispering something in Espio's ear.
"But Charmy can't know ok?!" Aundrey warned.
"Ok. Let's just get this plan over with. I'm don't feel right without my kunai." Espio said, sighing.
They both walked to McDonald's, for it was necessary in order to make their plan work.
Sorry it's a little short, but hey, don't feel bad. You'll get the second part this weekend :) So, uh, go eat a ice cream or something until then.
