Chapter Three: Wonton?

 

Kylee sat on the couch talking to her red fox friend Angel who dressed in khaki capris and a white buttoned-up shirt. They carried on their conversation in Spanish so that only they and the twins, if they really wanted to, could talk in private.

 

(Translated this is what they said)

 

“So let me get this straight,” said Angel scratching her ear. “You found thee Shadow the Hedgehog in a crater.” Kylee nodded her head. Angel just gave a look of disbelief.

 

“You don't believe me do you?” Kylee sighed slumping in her seat. Angel went into a giggle fit as she shook her head. “Angel I'm telling you the truth.” Dr. Herbert came down the stairs and walked into the living room. He seemed too young to be a doctor that and the fact that he was a gray wolf; he also had a tendency to flirt with his female patients. With a serious look about him, he nodded to Kylee but soon turned his attention to Angel who was now laughing her hardest on the carpeted floor.

 

“Don't ask,” she mouthed to him rolling her eyes. He shrugged and walked out the door without a second glance to the two. Kylee yanked Angel's tail and sat her down on the couch. Ignoring the pain in her tail, Angel continued to laugh.

 

“And you're supposed to be my best friend,” Kylee said looking away from her.

 

“Oh come on Ky,” Angel said getting hold of her laughter, “you know that it's pretty damn crazy to think that someone even if it is Shadow could survive a fall like that.”

 

“Did someone mention me?” asked Shadow as he stood in the hall holding his side. Most of his arms and chest were wrapped in bandages. He wore a pair of black shorts he found in one of the dressers that exposed the dressing on his calves. Besides the fact that he felt like hell he looked fine.

 

“Aye papi,” Angel declared staring at Shadow almost drooling. She looked him for as much as she wanted.

 

“Excuse me,” he said a bit confused having no idea what she said. Kylee smacked Angel on the back of the head. She turned to Shadow who still looked perplexed.

 

“You are supposed to be resting Shadow,” she said running a hand through her hair.

 

Shadow was staring at Angel who was cursing loudly in Spanish. He looked back at Kylee and asked, “Is she going to be alright?”

 

“She's fine. Now why aren't you in bed?”

 

“Not to be rude or anything but I'm starving.” At that exact moment, Angel lunged at Kylee the both of them falling off the couch. Shadow's eyes grew to the size of saucers as he watched the two girls wrestle on the floor.

 

“I know how ya feel man,” Enrique stated. “Falling can really make a guy work up an appetite. Yesterday Marcus jumped off the dresser.” The twins had gotten to their feet and were now pushing Shadow back down the hall and up the stairs back to the room that Shadow was in.

 

“I don't know why, but I wanted pie after that,” Marcus said rubbing his head.

 

“That's because you fell on your noggin bro.” There was loud screaming and cursing coming from the living room. “Don't worry about them Marcus can handle it.” Marcus gave a serious look and a salute before heading back down stairs. Less than a few minutes later he was in back in the room with the others breathing hard from running.

 

“What happened Marcus, come on tell us,” Enrique asked eager to know what he did. Marcus had a grave look on his face.

 

“They…” he stammered wide-eyed.

 

“They what?” Shadow and Enrique said in unison.

 

“They wanna know if you guys want egg rolls,” he said retuning to his calm state laughing a bit. Shadow dropped a pillow on his head and answered his question with a yes.

 

When the take-out finally arrived everyone at in the room now dubbed as Shadow's. The black hedgehog sat on his bed and ate in silence as he watched a family and a friend talk and bicker, knowing full well this was just a sample of the world outside.
