Sonic makes it home and sighs as he looks at Manic.
“Alright, what you got?” Manic asks.
“This way.” Sonic says, walking off.
They have two bedrooms but turned the second into a study for Sonic. The pair walked into the study and Manic looks at the large cork board, full of information on Sonette.
“Sonic, how long have you been working on this for?” Manic asks.
“I started when Sonette never came home, ten years ago.” Sonic admits.
Manic looks at him shock.
“Some detective I am.” Sonic whispers.
Manic sighs.
“I need to cook dinner tonight so take as long as you need.” Sonic says.
“It’s okay, I told Amy I was going to be late.” Manic admits.
Sonic nods as he walks off. He walks into the kitchen and takes a deep breath as he starts getting dinner ready. All he can think about was that night, the last time he saw Sonette.
Sonic follows his three siblings inside, Manic, Sonia the Hedgehog and Sonette the Hedgehog. Sonette smiles.
“We should do this again.” Sonette says.
“Hell yeah.” Manic agrees.
Sonia giggles.
“True, the four of us don’t hang out enough.” Sonia admits.
Sonic nods.
“It’s a promise.” Sonic says.
Then Jules and Aleena the Hedgehog walks over.
“Sonette, a word.” Jules says.
Sonette looks at him scared, then nods. The trio walks off and Sonic looks at Sonia and Manic. The trio quickly follows the to Jules’ study. The sliding doors were slightly open. The trio peeps in, they could see their parents standing in front of Sonette who was looking down.
“Care to explain this?” Jules asks, holding up a red and gold box.
“That was in my room!” Sonette yells, looking up. “You went in my room!”
Jules opens it and Sonette stares at the small bottles.
“When I believe my own daughter is doing drugs, I have every right to check her room.” Jules says.
Sonette whimpers.
“By the looks of things, this must be the new thing I have been hearing about.” Jules says.
“It… it helps me study.” Sonette confesses. “It makes everything okay.”
Jules slaps her and Sonic runs in. Sonic runs to Sonette, placing his hand on her shoulder.
“What was that for!” Sonic yells as Manic and Sonia runs over.
“Jules?” Aleena whispers.
“I told you to stay away from Lelouch!” Jules yells.
“What gives you the right to judge me!” Sonette yells, looking at her father. “Like you care! You are never home! Never answer or return my calls! You’re a useless father!”
Jules sighs.
“You leave me no choice. I am going to have to hand you in.” Jules tells her.
Sonia, Aleena, Sonette, Sonic and Manic looks at him shock.
“Jules!” Aleena snaps.
“Fuck you!” Sonette yells, then runs off.
“Sonette!” Sonic yells, chasing after her.
He runs outside but couldn’t see her. Sonic sighs as he runs to her room, empty too. Sonic sighs as he walks out as Aleena runs upstairs. Sonic shakes his head. She was gone.
Sonic sighs as he hears footsteps. Sonic looks back as Manic sits down at the table.
“Hey Sonic, did you know Sonette was doing drugs?” Manic asks.
“I had a feeling she was. Mum and dad did put a lot of pressure on us. Sonette was having a lot of trouble.” Sonic admits.
Manic sighs as he looks at the picture of Sonette.
“I just want her back.” Manic whispers.
“Me too Manic, me too.” Sonic whispers. “I’ll send those files when I can.”
“I’m keeping this picture you have.” Manic says, showing it.
It was a picture of her at Central train station a few months ago.
“I’ll keep my eye out too.” Manic adds, standing up.
“Take care.” Sonic says.
“You too.” Manic says, heading off.
Sonic chuckles as he goes back to dinner. He then hears footsteps, so he looks back as Shadow walks over.
“Why was Manic here?” Shadow asks.
“I told him about Sonette, he was mad and wanted to know more.” Sonic explains.
“That’s good.” Shadow says.
Sonic sighs. Shadow wraps his arms around Sonic’s waist.
“What is it?” Shadow asks.
“Even if we do find Sonette, who says she will want anything to do with us.” Sonic says. “I’m scared.”
“Talk to her.” Shadow tells him.
Sonic nods.
“I love you Shadow.” Sonic whispers.
“Love you too Sonic.” Shadow whispers.
~XxXxXx~
Manic makes it home to be greeted by Amy Rose. Amy walks over and Manic pulls her into a kiss.
“How’s Sonic?” Amy asks worried.
“Stress and dad isn’t making it easier.” Manic replies.
“Manic?” Amy whispers.
“It has been a long day.” Manic says.
“Dinner is almost ready.” Amy tells him, walking off.
Manic sits his stuff in the bowl by the door, then moan in pain. Manic phones beeps so he pulls it out to see an email from Sonic. Manic chuckles, putting his phone away as he heads to the kitchen.
“Smells amazing Amy.” Manic says.
Amy giggles.
“And how was work today?” Manic asks.
“Slow, I am so glad Vanilla is with me. She has been working in the family bakery for years and knows a lot more than I do.” Amy admits.
“Who knew your parents will drop it on you when you turned 18.” Manic says.
Amy nods.
“It’s scary.” Amy whispers. “Vanilla is helping me, as she has been working there the longest. I would be so lost without here.”
Manic chuckles.
“She has always been amazing.” Manic says.
Amy nods in agreement.
“Yeah, for as long as I can remember, Vanilla and Cream has been by us.” Amy whispers.
“Is the table set?” Manic asks, walking to Amy.
“Not yet.” Amy replies.
“I got it.” Manic says, kissing Amy on the cheek.
Amy smiles.
“Why do I feel like you’re up to something?” Amy asks.
“Aren’t I always.” Manic replies.
Amy giggles and Manic walks off. He will worry about that email after dinner.
