"It's gonna be my birthday soon... I wonder if the guys are gonna give me good gifts..." Silver remarked as he placed in several prepared pizza pies into the ovens, setting them up to bake as he grabbed some pizza dough using his psychic power.

Espio finished placing the seasoning on a sausage topped pizza as he turned to Silver, moving his right hand about. "Well if you want, you could tell them beforehand. It'll make it more likely for you to get good gifts."

Silver placed the pizza dough on the kitchen counter as he approached Espio, folding his arms together. "You really think that will work, Espio?"

Espio scoffed as he rolled his eyes, placing his hands on his hips as he moved his right hand about. "Well of course, Silver. How do you think I managed to get the books I wanted about housekeeping?"

"...Housekeeping?" Silver remarked as he squinted his eyes, not believing Espio.

Espio shrugged as he placed his hands back on his hips. "Yes, what's wrong with that? Someone needs to keep the Chaotix Headquarters in check."

"Doesn't Vector do that?" Silver asked as he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand.

Espio shook his head as he opened his eyes, moving his hands about in a slow, smooth motion. "Well technically yes, but I'm the one who actually does it since he's often distracted with plenty of other things."

Espio and Silver then watched as Vector took a brown couch out of his office and kicked it down the green staircase, dusting his hands together as he huffed.

"I dare you to pop back in my office now, you goddamn couch!" Vector stated in a huff as he slammed his office door closed.

Espio sighed as he opened his eyes, turning to Silver. "Case in point."

Silver simply nodded in response as he and Espio kept on preparing the pizza pies, with the customers chatting amongst themselves as Charmy giggled, hiding behind one of the hanging television sets,

"I am gonna give Silver the best birthday presents yet!" Charmy remarked as he giggled while rubbing his hands together in a sneaky manner.
