Chapter 2: A Charming Start

"Uh, Vector?" Espio said.

"What is it Espio?" Vector questioned.

"Isn't the park the other way?" Espio asked.

"Well, um, yeah... we're going the long way around..." Vector finished lamely.

"Can we just turn around?" Espio asked.

"Fine with me."

"Okay then."

We turned around and pelted back past Cream. We continued running until they reached the park's main entrance, where we skidded to a halt and decided our next move.

"Let's get inside and start looking for clues." Espio said.

"We can't just go strutting through the main entrance! Then we might blow our cover!" Vector exclaimed, pulling Espio away from the entrance.

"Wait, you think someone took Tails!" I gasped.

"Of course!" Vector stated.

"If we were going to blow our cover, wouldn't we have done that by running full speed to the park?" Espio argued.

"But we didn't." Vector argued back.

"That's my point. No one-"

I kinda might've tuned out around here and started chasing a butterfly. But in my defense, it was a really pretty one. Anyway Vector called me over a while later when he and Espio had finished arguing, or, as Vector likes to call it, loudly discussing things.

"Okay guys, to make this seem more casual, not some kind of detectiving, Charmy's going to fly in through the front entrance. Espio, you follow him invisibly while I go around to the back entrance. We'll meet up on the third trail leading from the park. No one uses it because of how overgrown it's become over the years. Understand?" Vector asked. Espio nodded in understanding. I flew into the park.

I was headed toward the third trail, but suddenly the butterfly from the entrance fluttered by.

"Hi!" I said.

"Hey there!" he answered. (I can understand it because I'm a bee)

Suddenly an idea hit me, but a frisbee hit me too. I forgot the idea instantly, but it was still there, on the edge of my consciousness. "Bye!" I told the butterfly as I was dragged off by Espio, who was still invisible.

"...Bye." it called back. I think he was confused because to him I looked like I was randomly sliding backwards.

"So then, did you guys see anything suspicious on your way here?" Vector asked.

"Vector, I think walking across the park isn't enough to find any evidence." Espio told him.

"I did!" I said.

"Really, what?" Vector asked.

"Well, someone dragged me over here, but I couldn't figure out who they were because they were invisible." I said.

"Really... hmm... who could it be..." Vector pondered.

"... It was me, Vector." Espio said.

Surprise lit Vector's face "What!? You did it! You're work with the kidnappers! How could you!" Vector accused.

"... Vector... how come you can solve mysteries, yet when it comes to common sense and obvious facts you are easily confused?" Espio asked the crocodile.

"How is it obvious that you are evil? You work with us, why would I have suspected you?" Vector answered.

"Dirty, lying double agent!" I yelled crossly "You are so cool! Who knew you could pretend to be the good guy so well!"

"..." Espio looked at me and Vector strangely.

"What's that look for?" Vector questioned "Are you trying to distract us so your evil friends can get us from behind? It isn't going to work!" he said, spinning around quickly "Oh, never mind." he said as he turned back around.

"..." Espio continued to stare unbelievingly at the two of us.

What does unbelievingly even mean anyways? Hey look, there's that butterfly again. Maybe I should make him part of the team. We need someone to replace Espio...

"Charmy? What are you looking at?" Espio asked.

"That." I said, pointing at the butterfly.

Espio looked in the direction I was pointing. "Good eye Charmy, NOW GET DOWN!" he yelled, diving to the ground and vanishing.

"What? Vector said before suddenly leaping into a nearby tree "Charmy, hide and seek!"

"Yippee!" I shouted, zipping into a bush.

"Thanks for drawing attention to yourself." Espio sarcastically told me.

"Your welcome!" I told him.

"Shh!" Vector shushed us.

"... I don't think it's looking anymore. I'm going in." Espio whispered to Vector.

"It's bound to see you!" Vector whispered back urgently.

"I'm invisible, Vector." Espio stated.

"Oh, yeah." he said.

After a short wait I heard a loud thud next to the bush I was in. I peeked out and saw... an evil looking fox staring back. It was dark brown, with eyes of pure red hatred. It's long tail, which was dark at the base, but grew lighter near the tip, swished back and forth threateningly. We stared at each other for a long time, neither one moving. Then it slowly walked towards the bush I was hiding in. I decided then and there to take the obvious course of action.

"Hi, who are you?" I asked the creature as I popped out of the bush "My name's Charmy, and it's so nice to meet you."

"... What?!" It asked surprisedly, stopping in its tracks.

"Oh, do you not like talking to strangers? Sorry, my bad. Maybe that was a bit to sudden." I said.

"... um... it's just that... I'm used to people just running away or attacking me. I've never met someone who actually talked to me. You aren't even slightly scared of me?" It asked.

"Oh, that's all. That happens a lot with me. So what's your name?" I repeated.

"... Name?"

"You don't have one? OH! I know, how about I give you a name?"

"O-okay then."

"Hmm... how about Reynard*?"

"Hmm... I don't know."

"Then Reynard it is!"

"Uh, Charmy?" Vector said, hopping down onto the path.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Why are you talking to the enemy?" he asked.

"You mean Reynard?" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess." he answered.

"Because he's my friend, and friends talk to each other." I told him.

"Uh-huh. Do friends attack their friends friends?" he asked.

"Umm, I don't think so..." I answered.

"Then why is Espio passed out over there?" he finished.

"WHAT?!" I yelled.

"Oh, sorry. I thought he was trying to attack me." Reynard said.

"He was." Vector said.

"Well then, that's why." Reynard stated.

"Don't worry Vector, it won't happen again now that Reynard is our friend!" I told him.

"Okay, if you say so... but don't think I'm letting my guard down." Vector told Reynard.

"Sure, whatever." Reynard said.

"So what are you doing around here anyway?" Vector questioned.

"Just thinking. I always come here when I want to think." Reynard told him.

"You were thinking very suspiciously." Vector said.

"Or so you think."

"Hey Espio, what do those two mean by think?" Charmy asked his unconscious friend.

"No, I don't want applesauce." Espio mumbled.

"Ah, I see." Charmy said "I must agree with Vector, you weren't wanting applesauce veeeery suspiciously."

"Huh?" said Vector and Reynard in confunison. I made that word up for whenever Vector and Espio get confused at the same time. Pretty neat, right? It's really fun to make up words, so I do it oft- OH! Vector's saying something! Talk to you later mind.

"-rmy! Charmy! Hello? Snap out of it already!" Vector yelled.

"Snap out of what?" I asked.

"Good, you're back. Now then, let's continue our interrogation!" Vector declared.

"What interrogation?"

"You know, Reynard's"

"Who's that?"

"The fox guy you were talking to earlier."

"Huh?"

"The one right next to me."

"Oh, okay then, yes, let's continue our interrogation of "Reynard"" I said warily.

"Why are you talking funny?" he asked.

"What do you mean, everything's absolutely fine..."

"Stop it already!"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Huh?"

"Do you?"

"What are you talking about Charmy?"

"Vector... there's no one beside you..."

"WHAT!?" Vector said, swinging his head from side to side.

"Do you want me to call the doctor?"

"What are you saying?! I'm not crazy! I'm not, I tell you!"

"Vector, it's okay. Don't worry. Just hand me the phone."

"No way!"

"Fine then. Sir? Could you restrain my friend for me?" I asked.

"Sure thing Charmy." he said, grabbing Vector's arms.

"Wait, what?!" Vector yelled in surprise, turning his head to look behind him.

"... Charmy." he said slowly.

"What?" I asked, slowly reaching for the phone.

"... The guy restraining me..." he continued

"What about him?"

"THAT'S Reynard!" he yelled angrily, jerking himself from Reynard's grasp.

"Oh, okay then."

"Why did you say there wasn't anyone there?"

"I said there wasn't anyone beside you, you should be less specific next time." I told him.

"... *sigh*" Vector sighed.

"Well then, now that that's settled... where's Espio?" I asked.

"Right here." said a voice behind me.

"Okay... then... ATTACK!" I shouted, turning around and tackling him to the ground. Or should I say attempting to tackle him. He is a ninja after all. Speaking of which... how come he got beat up?

"Charmy. What was that for?" Espio asked.

"How come?" I asked him.

"That's what I want to know."

"You don't know why you passed out?"

"... Actually, yes I do. But that's not what we're talking about right now."

"Yes we are."

"Fine. I passed out due to a rigorous training exercise to build up immunity to knockout gas. I've been taking heavy dosages every morning and have stayed up for the past four days withou- Espio really does like to talk a lot, doesn't he? It gets kinda boring. I wish he'd stop with the monotone. Then it might be a little more interesting. Hmm... what if he breathed some helium? Yes! Good idea! I think I'll try that! Huh, looks like I zoned out again... I should probably work on that.

"Charmy. Will you please tell me why you attacked me a moment ago?" Espio asked.

"I did no such thing!" I said defensively.

"Yes, you did."

"No I didn't!"

"Charmy. You did."

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yes, you did."

"Nuh-uh!"

"... Charmy, answer the question." he said, staring me straight in the eyes. I blinked first, but you know what? He's a ninja, and I'm a hyperactive (whatever that means) bee, so it wasn't very fair!

"Aw, you're no fun to argue with!" I pouted.

"... Answer." he told me.

"Fine... It's because... YOU'RE A DOUBLE AGENT!" I yelled suddenly, lunging at him.

"Charmy. Are you seriously that clueless?" Espio asked.

"Don't try to confuse me with your smarts! I'm immune to smartness!" I told him.

"... That's not something to be proud of, Charmy." he told me.

"Why not?" I asked.

"... Hey look, my evil twin who is a double agent is getting away!" he shouted, pointing towards the entrance of the park.

"What!" I yelled in surprise "After him!"

"It's no use. He's long gone by now." Espio told me.

"Man! We almost had him too!" I griped. Espio and Vector looked at each other, then back at me. "What are you two doing?" I asked

"Staring contest." They told me. For some reason they have those sometimes after I say something. They never last very long though. I don't get them.

"Let's start looking for clues." Espio said.

"But what about the interrogation?" Vector asked.

"Vector... Espio isn't the double agent. It's his evil twin." I explained.

"Not Espio! Reynard!" Vector said.

"Oh, him? You should be more specific." I said.

"... *sigh*" Vector sighed.

"Should we tell him?" I whispered in Espio's ear.

"..." Espio answered. I took it as a yes.

"Hey, Vector... there's no one here but us three." I told Vector.

"... Like I'm falling for that one again! How gullible do you think I am?" he said, turning around. "... THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYONE HERE!"

"Told you so."

"But... but... I know he was here! I know it!"

"He who?"

"That fox guy, Reynard!"

"Oh, him. Yeah, but he left while we were talking." I explained.

"... Oh..." Vector replied "Well then, let's start looking for clues."

"Yippee!" I whooped, doing loop-de-loops in the air.

*Reynard is a French name which literally means fox.

So, second chapter's done! What do you think? If you don't like comedy then you should probably hurry up and leave. I promise there will be plenty more to come... hopefully. Thanks for reading!
