"Charmy?" Skye called out.
Nothing.
"Where is he?" Locke asked no one in particular.
Vector looked around, before spotting a note on Charmys' dresser. He walked over to it, picking it up.
"Dear whoever is reading this, I am running away, I can't take this anymore. First Skye and then Espio.. I am going to be a hormit.. or whatever it is Espio told me about." Vector read aloud. (A/N: Charmy is talking about be a "Hermit".)
Skye covered her mouth and Espio looked down.. Charmy ran away, because of them.. Vector then noticed something on the other side of note. It was Charmys' writing.
"P.s, I'm not going to the bakery, so don't look there." Vector once again read aloud.
Everyone did a animated sweat drop. Vector sighed, crumbling the paper up and threw the note into the trashcan.
"We'd better hurry or else we will miss him." Vector said.
Everyone nodded as Vector walked out of the room with Skye, Locke and Espio following behind him.
"I don't see him anywhere.." Skye trailed off.
They had been searching around the only bakery in Station Square for the past fifteen minutes and there was still no sign of Charmy.
"Maybe he-" Vector was cut off when Locke had put a finger up to his mouth.
"SHH!" He hissed.
When Locke took his finger off of Vectors' mouth he spoke.
"What is it?" Vector asked.
"Over there." Locke motioned for the three to follow him.
They did so, Locke led them to behind the bakery. There they saw Charmy, sitting on the ground leaning up against the wall, stuffing his mouth with brownies. He heard something and looked up, he stopped dead and just stared.
He had brownie bits all over his face and some were falling out of his mouth, apparentley he hadn't noticed Skye because he got up and quickly started to fly away.
Before he could get very far, Locke came running up behind him. Charmy noticed this and started flying faster, Locke knew that Charmy would get away if he didn't do something.
He quickly picked up a little bit of speed, and at the right moment he did a front flip, he quickly caught up to Charmy in the air and grabbed his arm. To prevent from yanking the bee down, he started to fly but made sure to hold him firmly so he couldn't keep flying away.
Charmy sighed in defeat as Locke flew back down and walked over to Espio, Vector and Skye who had already ran up to them.
Charmys' eyes widened up to the size of dinner plates the second his eyes landed on Skye.
Suddenley, Skye felt herself being pinned to the ground. She smiled when she realized it was Charmy giving her a big hug and she hugged him back, he was crying tears of joy and had a big smile plastered on his face.
"Skye! You're back!" He exclaimed as he sqeezed tighter.
"Can't. Breathe." Skye sputtered inbetween breaths.
"Oh, sorry." Charmy said with a nervous laugh as he got off of her.
Skye stood up, wiping the dirt off of her jeans as she spoke.
"It's nice to see you Charmy." She said with a smile.
Before Charmy could say anything, Vector came inbetween them.
"You! What were you thinking?" Vector asked, pointing a finger at the young me. Charmy shrugged.
"That you weren't going to find me.." Charmy trailed off with an innocent smile.
"Just don't do it again." Vector grumbled as he walked off.
The others started to follow him. As they walked, Charmy turned around, making himself fly backwards.
"So Skye, do you have a place to live yet?" He asked.
Skye face palmed herself, she forgot to look for a place! She shook her head, before anyone could say anything Locke spoke.
"You can live with me, I have an extra room.. and I am going to need to check up on you alot, just incase you get any worse." He suggested.
Skye nodded her head with a smile.
"Thank you." She thanked.
"What do you mean by worse?" Espio asked suddenly.
"Uh.." Skye trailed off.
Locke sighed and explained everything to the three detectives. The three nodded, still a bit confused but trying to catch on to what he was explaining.
"So.. what is exactly wrong?" Espio asked. Locke shrugged.
"I am not to sure.." He trailed off, thinking.
What he said wasn't an exact lie. He wasn't sure, but he did have a pretty good idea of what might be going on.. but he just.. didn't understand it.
"Hey! Lets have a bonfire tonight!" Charmy exclaimed.
"Y'know.. we never had one of those in a while.." Vector said.
"We never did have one of those." Espio corrected him. Vector shrugged.
"Lets do it, we can go to the park and do it." He said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yay! Bonfire tonight!" Charmy cheered as he pumped a fist into the air.
Soon they arrived at the agency, when they got to the steps Locke was first to speak.
"I guess me and Skye better go now.. we will call you later." Locke said as he waved.
"Bye Espio." Skye said with a small wave.
"Bye." He waved back.
With that, the Chaotix went into their 'house' and Skye and Locke went back to their apartment. When they got there, Locke led Skye into her room, it was the geust room, Skye thanked Locke before starting to set her things she had brought in her bag up.
The first thing she took out was a framed picture, it was the same one Charmy had.. Locke, Vector, Espio.. everyone had the same picture. Skye blushed remembering that day.
Flashback..
"Come on Skye, Espio, lets take a picture!" Charmy exclaimed ashe got out a camera.
Everyone lined up infront of the camera as Charmy set it up to take the picture in five seconds. Vector stood comfortably on the far left, beside him Locke decided to stand, Charmy was smiling proudly in the middle. Skye was beside him and Espio had been beside Skye, at the last second, Skye jumped behind Espio, hugging him from behind.
At first Espio blushed, but he tried to hide it, for the sake of not being embarassed.
After the light flashed and the picture was taken, they all gathered around and looked at the photo, Vector was first to speak.
"Awe, isn't that cute." He said as he pointed to Skye and Espio, Espio looked away slightly and Skye looked to the ground, blushing.
"Yeah, they should date!" Charmy exclaimed.
This made both Espio and Skye blush madly, just thinking about it. They both akwardly looked around the room, trying to concentrate on anything but eachother.
"Hey.. I'm pretty cute.." Charmy said as he looked at the picture.
The way he said it made everyone laugh.
Skye giggled when she looked at Espio, if you looked REALLY hard you could see the smallest hint of red on his face.
She had to admit, she really did like Espio.. the only thing keeping her away was him. She knew that he had atleast SOME feelings for her, but she just wasn't sure and didn't want to ruin what they have together.
When she first met him, she thought he was really cute. When he helped her clean her cut, she started to develop a bit of a crush on him. However, she just thought it was minor and would blow off soon.. but when he started to show concern for her.. it grew into something bigger then a crush.
She slowly developed more and more feelings for him.. she had fallen in love with him. Wait, no. She knew she really liked him and cared for him.. but she was confused about her feelings. Was this love she was feeling? She didn't know. But she wanted to find out.
She sighed as she got up and left her room, she walked into the living room where Locke was seated, watching t.v.
"Is it possible that I could take a shower?" She asked.
"The door straight across from your room." He replied simply, not taking his eyes off of the screen. Skye nodded.
"Thank you." She thanked as she walked into the bathroom.
She got undressed, and hopped into the shower. She then continued by turning to water on, she played with the knob until the water was lukewarm, she let it run down her back.
After about ten minutes, she turned the water off and hopped out. She then rapped a towel around herself and dried off. She looked at a clock that was in the washroom, it was 7:00 pm.. the bonfire would be soon, she decided to just wear her pyjamas.
When she got out, she was wearing grey jogging pants and a black tanktop. Her hair was still a little damp, but nothing that bugged her.
She walked into the kitchen were she saw Locke sitting at the table with a laptop. He seemed to be searching something on the internet, and by the looks of it, it seemed to be really interesting because he wasn't taking his eyes off of the screen, then he turned something else up and started to type, fast.
"Hey." Skye said as she approached him.
Locke jumped in surprise and quickly shut the laptop.
"Oh, hey." He replied, a little startled.
"What were you doing?" Skye asked with an innocent smile on her face.
Locke shook his head rapidly.
"Nothing!" He exclaimed.
Skye nodded her head, but she was still suspicious. She was about to leave when Locke spoke up.
"What do ya want to eat?" He asked.
Skye shrugged.
"Toast sounds okay." She replied simply, she wasn't really hungry anyways.
Locke gave her an odd look but nodded his head and started making her and himself some toast. Soon they were eating at the table, talking about whatever was on their minds.
"Hey." Locke started.
"They should be here soon.. so make sure you are ready." He finished. Skye nodded her head.
Just then they heard a knock at the door, Locke was about to go get it but Skye put a hand on his shoulder, sitting him back down.
"I'll get it." She said. Locke nodded.
Skye didn't looke through the peep whole, she knew it was the Chaotix. She opened the door, ready to be greeted by three of her friends, but instead, she was greeted with nothing.
Skye shook her head, closing the door and walking back into the kitchen.
"Who was it?" Locke asked.
"No one." Skye replied.
Just then, they heard another knock. Skye walked back over to the door, she swung it open.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Down here!" A small voice exclaimed.
Skye looked down to see a small little skunk. He had scruffy fur and bangs that ended just above his eye. His eyes were a bright ocean blue. Skye smiled.
She was about to say something when the little skunk dissapeared. Skye gasped.. did he? She continued to stare at the spot where the little boy had just been. Just then, Locke yelled from the kitchen.
"Is everything alright?" He called out.
"Locke.." Skye trailed off.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Do you believe in ghost?"
