Scene 29

Pie Act-2

Pie POV

"You're kidding me right?" I said into my phone. Amy just called me and told me that Vector was taken off the case to find Marshall.

"I wish I was Pie. But I know they will still find him, with or without Vector." Amy assured me. I sighed and said, "I hope they do…"

"Ok, ill call you later. I got to go cook dinner. Bye Pie." She said.

"Bye Amy." I replied as I hung up. I laid back on my bed and sighed. I wish Marshall was back, he was one of the few friends that I'm not shy with.

"How you doing dear?" asked Angel as she stood in my doorway. Angel was a hedgehog, red wih yellow eyes, she has short green hair that reaches down to her shoulders. She is like a mother to me and my siblings.

" Not so good… Just found out that my friend they are looking for might take longer to find." I said, my voice being low…

"That brown, Mexican fox kid?" she asked.

I chuckled and said, "If you mean Marshall, then yes."

She sat down on the bed with me and said, "You two were like two peas in a pod in school."

I smiled and said, "Yeah, he was such a nice guy, and still is… Despite his problems…"

She looked at me confused, "What problems?"

I said nervously, "Just that he smokes pot… abandonment issues with his dad…"

She then had a sigh of relief, "Well im glad that is all the problems he had. I was worried he was a junkie, or was a drunk, or just crazy!" she joked.

She then put her arm around me and said, "I know he will be found, I know it."

A small smile went on my face as I looked into her yellow eyes "You promise?"

"I promise." She assured me.

She hugged me then got up and left the room. She closed my door as my eyes began to wonder around. I looked at my walls and saw all my posters, mostly Drake posters and Anime ones. I then looked at my shelves, they had mostly how-to books and a few novels, and little knick-knacks like small figures and dolls.

I then looked at my computer, the screen saver was up and was doing a slideshow of the pictures. Changing from ones that were of my family, to ones of my friends.

It then showed a picture of me and Marshall in my room, sitting on my bed, studying. The first pic we ever took…

10 years earlier…

"Thank you so much for helping me with science Marshy." I said as we approached my door.

"No problem Pie, always happy to help a friend." He replied with a smile.

As I unlocked the door with my key I asked, "So, how did your date with Amy go?"

He gave a frustrated sigh and said, "Why is everyone asking me about that?"

I giggled and said, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

He smiled and replied "Ok then."

I unlocked the door and saw my brother and sister, Knife and Love, they are twins.

Knife was a orange hedgehog with red streaks in his quills and red eyes. He was rude, and just a bit off his rocker, if you know what I mean. Love was a red hedgehog with orange streaks and orange eyes, she has long hair and one bang covering her right eye. She was funny, but not very bright, and she is a bit weird at times.

"Hi Pie, who is this dude?" asked Knife as he was sitting on the couch next to Love.

"Just a friend from school, to help me with my homework." I said as Marshall looked at them.

"Marshy, these are my brother and sister, Knife and Love." I told to Marshall.

"Nice to meet you guys." Said Marshall with a smile.

"Hey." Said Love to him, waving.

Knife then did the "Sup" motion with his head, then refocused on the TV. We walked to my room and Marshall asked, "Have any more brothers or sisters?"

I opened my door and said, "Well, you meet Debby, I have a older brother Damien. He is kinda… over protective…"

"How over protective?" he asked worriedly.

I sat on my bed and I replied, "Like… he might be really mean to you at first."

He then looked more worried, but I put my hand on his back and said, "Don't worry, just don't act like a douche to me and youll be fine."

He then smiled and said, "Why would I act like a douche? I would never treat Amy bad, I would never treat a girl bad ever!"

I laughed and went to get out my homework. We had to do a little review sheet for tests. We were learning about chemical bonds and the periodic table.

"So, do you know what anions are?" he asked me as he took out a pencil.

"Yeah, they are"

"Hi Pie. Who is this?" I was interrupted by my care giver, Angel.

"Oh, Angel, this is Marshall, he is here to help me study." I told her.

"Hi Marshall." She said to him sweetly.

He smiled and said, "Hi Angel."

"Well, I'll leave you too it…" she said as she semi-closed the door, leaving only a crack of it open.

Marshall looked at me confused , "What was that about?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't know, she does that sometimes…"

"Oh, she your mom?" he asked.

"More like a legal guardian." I answered.

"Ah…" he said as he looked at the paper.

"So, a anion is…"

"HI pie…" said a gruff voice. God, I keep on getting interrupted.

We looked up and saw Damien, he looked at me then Marshall, narrowing his violet eyes.

"Who is this?" he asked.

"My friend from school, Marshall. Marshall this is Damien."

"Nice to meet you." Said Marshy as he extended his hand.

Damien knocked it away and told him, "You ever touch her, I will beat your ass…"

Marshall looked scared as Damien left.

"And keep the damn door wide open!" he yelled.

"Whats his problem?" he asked, scared.

"Just, he is always protective of us…" I said.

Damien, is just… a jerk sometimes, but he means well. He just wants us safe.

"Hey uh, want to take a picture?" I asked.

"Sure, but why?" he asked as I got up and got my camera.

"Just to remember this moment, and you still look a little scared from Damien and its funny." I laughed.

His long tail was pointed straight up, and some of fur was on end.

"Come on!" I said as I sat next to him, I extended my arm and pointed the lens to us

We both smiled as it flashed.

CLICK!
