Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't writen in so long. I had most of this chapter writen when I posted the one before this, but then my friend got hit by a train and he was killed and I didn't feel like writing anymore. I still don't really feel like writing now, but I didn't want you to have to wait any longer. Sorry if the end of this chapter is a little cheesy or whatever. Anyway, on with the story. -no enthusiasm what so ever-
Clowy woke up, rubbing her eyes sleepily after she sat up, the sun barely up. She quickly brushed her quills down and put on a bright yellow headband to keep them down before walking downstairs. She was wearing a bright yellow sleeveless nightgown that barely covered what it had to and a bright yellow pair of socks that went to her mid thigh and the gloves of the outfit she had on yesterday, as she had forgotten to change the gloves in her tired state. She had awoken earlier then the others so that she could make breakfast. She got into the kitchen, finding an apron folded neatly and put on the table near the stove. She smiled slightly to herself, putting on the apron that oddly fit her perfectly before getting out the ingredients for breakfast.
The Chaotix slowly came downstairs, yawning as they had all just woke up, having smelled Clowy's cooking. They entered the kitchen, stopping dead instantly. Clowy was there in the apron and her night clothes plus the gloves of her outfit and a bright yellow headband to keep her quills down, plate in hand as she put food on it and three others already on the table along with maple syrup for the pancakes. The plates had hash browns, scrambled eggs and blueberry pancakes. Clowy turned upon hearing the Chaotix gasp, smiling at them. "Good morning!" She said sweetly, walking to the table with her plate and sitting in the seat that had no plate in front of it. "You guys are lucky. I was just about to come and wake you up." She said before starting to eat, not noticing that the Chaotix were all still staring at her. She looks so cute cooking like that. Vector thought. I want to eat Clowy's cooking so bad! But I'm the youngest so I have to wait for Vector and Espio to sit down first or Vector will get mad at me again. Charmy thought sadly, having already got used to using the name. ______________ Espio thought (he's having millions of thoughts at once here XD), walking absently towards the table, and taking a seat next to Clowy, Vector sitting across from her and Charmy sitting on the other side of her. "This food is great Clowy!" Charmy said happily, continuing to eat quickly as he was starving. "Yes. Much better then Vector's cooking." Espio agreed, smiling ever so slightly at Clowy before continuing to eat at a more civilised pace. I don't think I've ever seen Espio warm up to someone that fast. Vector thought, watching Espio and Clowy, seeing Espio being a little uncharacteristic. Well, well, well. Looks like Espio's got a crush on our little Eclipse-I mean Clowy. No wonder he didn't say anything to her back at Tails' house. Vector thought, smirking inwardly, not wanting to smirk outwardly as Charmy would point it out to everyone. "Fantastic cooking Clowy!" Vector finally said, making it look like he had been so mesmerised by her cooking that he was only now able to speak. "Thank you Vector, Charmy, Espio." Clowy said, smiling sweetly. This again caused Espio to blush, though Charmy said nothing this time in fear of getting hit by Vector.
"So, the client for that one case is finally coming today?" Charmy asked Vector as the group relaxed in the living room area, Clowy having changed into the outfit she was in yesterday. "Yep. It's about time two. The report he sent us doesn't have enough information to work with." Vector explained as he lounged on the couch. "Maybe I could help?" Clowy asked hopefully. "Not to be rude or anything Ecl-I mean Clowy, but do you even have any experience in being a detective?" Vector asked, looking at the hedgehog girl. "No...but I have my ways, don't worry." Clowy said, smiling reassuringly, thinking off her visions. With any luck they'll help me out with the case just like my other vision said it did...But I'll have to wait a while until they give me a case on my own. Eclipse thought, waiting for Vector's reply. "...Alright, you can help out. Just try not to get in the way." Vector finally said, hearing a knock on the door. Espio quickly went and opened the door, coming back with a boy no older then Clowy following him. The boy looked like a white version of Sonic, the way his quills were, his eyes a deep grey. He wore a pair of bright yellow goggles with the cloth a near-black grey, a golden chain around his neck and one also around his waist. He had a bright yellow undershirt with an open deep grey jacket that reached his waist and had sleeves that went to his wrists, the jacket having a yellow skull mark on the left had side right under the folded down collar. His pants were also deep grey, straps of bright yellow sticking out on either side beside the pockets. His gloves and shoes followed the same design of deep grey and bright yellow. Clowy saw the boy, her eyes widening in horror. "Kyo..." She whispered in terror, having the instinct to hide behind the others, but she had to act like she had no idea who he was. With any luck he wouldn't recognise her. He looked strait at her, and she felt her heart stop in terror. "My name is Kyouyo." He said, more then likely correcting Clowy. She inwardly sighed in relief, glad that it wasn't him. "I'm Vector, that's Espio and that's Charmy." Vector said, pointing to each person as he said their name. "What about her?" Kyouyo asked, pointing to Clowy. "Oh, that's-" "She's Clowy! She's our newest member!" Charmy interrupted hyperly, Espio nodding in agreement. "Yes...that's right Charmy." Vector snarled angrily at the young bee-boy, who then hid behind Clowy. "Don't be so mean to him Vector. He's just being a kid." Clowy scolded. "Yes Clowy." Vector said in a defeated tone. He got her/my new name right. The remaining Chaotix thought in unison. "Anyways, could you tell us about your missing persons' case?" Vector asked.
Clowy was trying her best to stay calm, but it was hard when the person Kyouyo was looking for sounded just like her. "We were friends once, but I left where we used to live and I haven't been able to find her since. I heard a rumour that she was somewhere in Ring City, so I have been looking there for the past few days." Kyouyo explained. "Well, with the description you gave us we should be able to find her." Vector assured him. "Great! I'll wait at my house for a phone call telling me you found her." Kyouyo said happily, leaving. As soon as he was out the door Clowy's knees bucked under her and she would have hit the ground if Espio hadn't caught her. "Are you alright?" He asked worriedly. "It was Kyo...he's looking for me..." Clowy whispered, her breathing uneven. "We should get her up to bed. She's obviously not feeling well." Vector said. "I'll take her." Espio said before anyone could argue, shifting her so he was holding her bridal style before going to her room.
Espio gently placed Clowy on her bed, smiling slightly at her before turning to leave. He didn't even take one step before Clowy had grabbed his wrist so he couldn't leave. Espio stood there for a moment, letting the fact that Clowy didn't want him to leave sink in, before turning to her. She looked like she was trying to hold a thought that she didn't want back. "I...I don't want to be alone right now..." She whispered, not letting go of Espio's wrist. He nodded, sitting on the bed and pulling her into his arms. It wasn't something he normally did, but it was the only thing he could think of to make her feel any better. He noticed her relax suddenly in his arms and figured that she had spaced out.
Vision.
I was in the street with the Chaotix, Egg Pawns surrounding us but Eggman no where in sight.
I suddenly jumped up, roundhouse kicking the Egg Pawns near me before landing gracefully in front of Espio. "Showing off again Clowy?" Espio asked with a smirk. "Only cause I'm trying to impress you." I replied with the same smirk, jumping up and Chaos Spearing an Egg Pawn that had gotten a little too close to Charmy for my comfort. I jumped into the air once more, flipping as my body began to glow a familiar red. "Chaos...Blast!" I yelled, the energy blasting out around me and destroying all the Egg Pawns. "Well, you must be trying to impress SOMEONE, the way you took them all out like that." Vector agreed, smiling at me.
End of Vision.
"You ok Clowy?" Espio asked her once she was back to normal. "Yeah...I think so." She murmured, not wanting to move for Espio's embrace. "You're tired, you should get some rest." Espio pointed out. She nodded, reluctantly pulling herself from Espio's hug. "Thanks Espio, for comforting me." She said, giving him a small kiss on the cheek before lying down on the bed, which then caused him to blush scarlet. "N-no p-problem." He stuttered as he pulled the blankets up over her before leaving quietly. "Only cause I'm trying to impress you..." Clowy murmured before falling asleep.
And that's that. I'm going to go now and morn over my friend some more ).: Bye bye for now. PS The next chapter might take a while in my current state of mind.
