As a whimper reaches my ears, I sit up and yawn. Panning down to the foot of my bed, I spot Tails sitting there, eyes swollen with tears. I manage to wipe the sleep from my eyes and scan the surrounding area before Tails crawls up to me and his whimpers assault my ears once more, before bawling follows.

I pull him into a warm hug and as I rub his back I scan the room around me, "Tails, what's the matter?"

My query is answered when thunder crashes against the house, followed by lightning lighting up my room. I double take at what I get a glimpse of and I get out of bed the crying Tails in my arms. Turning on the light, I scan my room and find my bed the lone occupant, my brother's beds, along with the cloth pad atop my dresser is gone. Tails whimpers again as he buries his head in my shirt. I tousle his headfur and rub his back as I sit back down on my bed.

"What happened to my room?" As I ponder this, I sense a presence at my door. Turning to the doorway, I find Nikoletta standing there in a midnight blue dress.

"Ycatsaius, what's wrong?" she glances down to the still whimpering fox in my arms, realizing what's going, "Oh, Tails is scared of lightning isn't he?"

I nod as my eyes find the terrified kit clinging onto my shirt, "Yes, he's absolutely terrified of lightning. Now," I face her, concern etched on my countenance, "what happened to my room?"

She crosses her arms at my query, "I thought would have thanked me for giving your little brothers their own room. I guess I was mistaken."

I smile as I rub Tails' back and lull him into a peaceful state with my singing Mat Kearney's Fire and Rain as the music begins to play quiet in the background. Facing Nikoletta, I chuckle, "Thanks for that, Nikoletta. I don't think I would have been able to calm Tails down if it weren't for that song."

She smiles as she holds out her arms, "I'll tuck him back into bed, Ycatsaius."

"No, I'll do it. Besides, I wanted to try out that new night vision optics that I integrated into my body to see how you did with my brother's new room."

She chuckles as her arms find her hips, "Really, Ycatsaius?" comes her query as my eyes fade into green orbs and green light blankets my vision.

I kiss her forehead before leaving to my brother's new room next door to her's. Despite the green tint of everything, I'm able discern three cribs (labeled with my brother's names on the headboards) in my direct eyesight with a window above Tails' crib. I scan the area and turning to my left, I spot a changing table against the wall adjacent the cribs. I walk over to the table and find it stacked high with diapers, powder, and wipes. As light snoring reaches my ears, I glance down in my arms and find Tails fast asleep sucking his orange pacifier. I smile at him before I lay him down in his crib. Glancing over to the other cribs, I find Sonic and Caiden both fast asleep sucking pacifiers as well. I pan to the right of the cribs and spot a toy chest shaped like…a pirate's treasure chest. A chuckle leaves me before I scan the walls and spot blue-green tinted wallpaper decorated with stars.

"I assume without the night vision that the wallpaper would be blue, huh?"

"Yes, it would be, Ycatsaius," sails the whisper of a voice to my ears.

I turn to the doorway and find Nikoletta standing there tapping her foot, "Ycatsaius, please go to bed. Tails and his brothers are safe and you've seen their room. Now if you don't get out of here I'll…"

I plant a kiss on her lips before her sentence can complete and vanish in a cloud of nothingness so as to not wake my brothers.

I smile as I toss Sonic into the air and catch him moments later. He giggles the entire time this continues. When I catch him for the twentieth time, I kiss his forehead and set him my lap. I sigh in contentment from my spot on the living room. As we sit on the couch just enjoying each other's company, shouts of joy echoes from the playroom down the hall. I know already that Caiden, Tails, and Nikoletta are battling it out in Need for Speed ProStreet, each taking turns to take down my little International Street King of Earth, Caiden Alexandria.

It still surprises me that Tails and Nikoletta would at the top of their game after having a broken sleep cycle. The shouts of joy and chorus of cheers I'm hearing roaring from the playroom, however state otherwise.

Sonic smiles up at me and tugs on my shirt, gaining my attention. He yawns before cuddling close to me, "Oniichan, have you ever street raced before?"

"In real life or on Need for Speed ProStreet?"

"Either, Oniichan?"

"Well, my Nissan GT-R Nismo has seen many race tracks and I know the entirety of the Orlando Police Department, friends with the lot of them. I always go through them before I call a race though. So that way, they can block off the roads ahead of time. Heck, we've even had chases just for fun."

Sonic's eyes widen at his Oniichan's statement, "Are you serious, Oniichan?"

"Serious as a heart attack, Sonic. I'll tell you this though, I never race with you or your brothers in the car. I always wait until I've dropped you and your brothers off with Vanilla or had you all stay home with Nikoletta-neechan. I care deeply about your safety and thus I won't let any of you in my car when I race."

Sonic pouts and crosses his arms. I notice this straightaway, and pop his pacifier in his mouth. He sniffles as tears swell with in his eyes.

"You look so adorable, Sonic!" comes my voice as I tousle his hair.

"Humph!" he continues to pout up at me, "Dats no fwair!" rebounds his voice as he faces me, "I's been throwa worser things den dat, Oniichan! Pwease can't I be in the car with you? If not will you let me drive instead?"

I raise an eyebrow and chuckle, "Do you even know how to drive, Sonic? Or better yet, what makes you think I'd let you drive my Nissan GTR Nismo Edition in the first place?"

"Cause," his eyes widen as a supernova, "I'd wask nicewy, hoping you'd accept meh kindness."

"Sonic, it's just too dangerous! Do even know why I don't want you guys in the car with me when I race?"

He shakes his head, "Na uhs, why, Oniichan? I dun get it, it just going fast like I do awal da times."

I sigh as I face his puppy dog eyed stare, "Fine, I'll let you come with me to my next race, on one condition," my eyes flash red as a red light encompasses Sonic. When it fades a shimmering blue shield encompasses his body. "There, should we crash or someone hit us to hard, you won't get hurt."

Sonic shouts in jubilation as he bounces on the couch, crinkling echoing with his movements, "Thanks a bunch, Oniichan!" roars his excited voice as he hugs me. I smile as I stand with him in my arms. I walk into the playroom and tap Nikoletta's shoulder. She chuckles as she crosses the line in first, beating Caiden by mere inches.

"What is it, Ycatsaius?" comes her query as she faces me.

"I'm going to take Sonic out for a while. We'll be back, honey."

She nods, "Okay, just be safe."

I regard her with agreement before walking into my brother's room. Going to the changing table, I open the third drawer and pull out the black duffel bag. I set Sonic on his feet and begin packing the duffel. After packing it to full capacity (ten diapers, two bottles, wipes, and baby powder), I sling it over my shoulder and turn to Sonic.

"Oniichan," comes his voice as I lift him into my arms, "why didn't you tell, Oneesama what we were really going to do?"

I chuckle as I walk out to my Nissan and open the passenger door, strapping Sonic in straightaway, his shields shimmering as I do so, "If I told Nikoletta what we were going to do right now," comes my solemn voice as I set the duffel on the floor and close the passenger door. I sigh deep as I walk over to driver's side, strap in, and face Sonic, "she'd kill me, Sonic. SHE'D BLOOMIN' KILL ME!"

Sonic whimpers at my shout and bows his head, "Maybe we shouldn't do this, Oniichan."

"No," the engine revs high as I leave the safety of the driveway and a blue shimmering shield encompasses the car seconds later, "we shouldn't, but yet here we are."

Once facing the road, I shift into first and floor the gas pedal, rocketing us forward and pushing Sonic back in his seat. As I get into the zone and shift into third, the bang of the kickback exhaust reaches my ears. Moments later, I spot five cop cars and two Nissan Skyline GT-R R32s in front of the mall. Pulling up to them, I smile and roll down my window.

"Hey, guys are we ready to sprint race?" comes my voice as I face my old friends David and Alex.

They turn to me and nod before facing the cops, "So, is the road blocked off, Sargent Davidson?" comes Alex's voice as he flashes his blue eyes.

The blue uniformed cop nods before climbing in his car, "Yep, the entire stretch of road, including all side streets is blocked off from here at the mall to the Orlando City Game Center five miles down the way."

"Good," David replies as he hops in his car, "let's race!"

Alex nods as the cops pull away from the intersection opening the street to the mall, forming the last road block to other traffic. David pulls up on my right and Alex on my left, both glance over to me and double take upon seeing who's in my car.

"Ycatsaius…is that Sonic the Hedgehog, sucking a pacifier no less?"

"Yes, he wanted to come, so I let him come. I've had to ramp up the shields on my car though. I ain't taking no chances."

They nod as they rev their engines, my engine following suit, drowning theirs out. Sargent Davidson smiles as he steps in between mine and David's car.

Raising his arms to the air, he begins the countdown with a twirl of his arms. Our engines rev high as his arms twirl twice before falling to his side. The instant this occurs, we speed off.

Sonic's is pushed back into his seat as my car accelerates from naught to 60 MPH in under 3 seconds. I chuckle as I shift into second, propelling us forward down the street. My engine whines as I shift into third and gain more speed. Soon, however, a roadblock of police cars signaling the first turn arrives in my eyes. I grin as I shift down and grab the handbrake, allowing my car to dance around the curve, a cloud of smoke in its wake.

Sonic glances over to me, and notices my monotonous movements: shifting gears, grabbing the handbrake…pushing a red button atop the shifter.

"Oniichan, what does that button…" his words are lost as he's pinned to the interior of his seat. My laughter echoes throughout the car as I speed down the stretch of highway at almost 160 MPH! As we speed down the highway, Sonic whimpers, fear coursing through him. Being in a car going at speed of over 100 MPH are WAAAY DIFFERENT than his running by himself through the streets.

Three minutes later, another roadblock, signaling the last right turn toward the Orlando City Game Center, greets my eyes. Shifting down from sixth to third, I pump the brakes and coast through the turn, almost trading paint with the roadblock setup at the turn. I snicker as I glance into my rearview not seeing my friends, "Guess they got lost, oh well." My thought breaks as I hear the whine of David's Skyline roaring behind me. I scoff as I engage the nitrous, rocketing me into the Orlando City Game Center Parking Lot and across the red painted finish line. I smile as I drive over to David. When he glances back at me, my heart drops.

"David," I hop out of my car and rush over to him. When he gets out of his car, he falls to the ground crying. Fear wells inside me, knowing something's wrong, but curiosity gets the better of me, "David what happened?"

"Alex…Alex...he…he crashed head on into the roadblock in the fifth turn of the track. He…he engaged his nitrous too late and couldn't pull out and…and he slammed into the roadblock! His car was destroyed and the cops declared him…dead at the scene."

I ram my fist into the emptiness of the air, "I…I can't believe this."

"It's not your fault, Ycatsaius. We all know the risks, I just wish he had the technological know how you and I do. That hardened energy shielding would have saved his life and his car."

As I drive back down the road, Sonic's eyes are planted to the floor, clearly devastated by the news that he overheard. A sigh leaves me as I pull into the driveway of our home minutes later. Before I can get out, sniffling reaches my ears. Sonic turns to me, tears streaming down his face. He tosses his pacifier to the floor and his eyes fall to the floor once more.

"Why?" he manages to utter before facing me, hot tears flowing down his face, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT…THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN?" roars his tear stricken voice.

"I tried to tell you it was dangerous, but you didn't listen to me. I was dumb enough to take you along for the ride in my car! God was watching over us though, because He knows if something happened to you and it was my fault, I'd never be able to forgive myself."

Sonic tears his seatbelt away before crawling into my lap. He buries his head in my chest and begins to bawl, "I NEVER WANNA RACE AGAIN! REAL OR FAKE! NEVER AGAIN!"

I sigh deep as I rub his back and get out of the car with him in my arms. As I place him over my shoulder, a whisper echoes, "Just don't tell, Nikoletta alright? I'll tell her that you were bullied and you've got to agree with me, alright?"

He continues to bawl, but manages to acknowledge my request. Once we enter the house, Nikoletta approaches us, hearing Sonic's wails.

"What happened, Ycatsaius, why is Sonic crying?"

"He was being bullied at the Orlando City Game Center. Some kid decided it would be funny to pants him and when he did all the kids around us laughed. So, we decided to come home. It's been a long day," my heart drops into my stomach as I sit on the couch with the crying hedgehog. As I rock him gentle in my arms, I glance up at Nikoletta. "So, how was your day?"

"It was fine, Ycatsaius. Aside from Tails having a temper tantrum because he didn't want a bath, everything was fine."

"That's good," comes my solemn voice as I continue to rock Sonic to sleep, "that's good."
