A/N: Just saw a cute show with three guys trying to babysit their friend's child. This gave me the idea of what it would be like if the Babylon Rogues were stuck with Charmy for an hour. HAHA good luck with that…anyway, let's go! I own nothing! All Sonic characters belong to Seeeegaa!
It was a blazing hot summer afternoon in the city. Reaching it's peak at 101 degrees, people were making it through the weather by living in the swimming pool, or staying inside and hugging the air conditioner.
As for the Chaotix Detective Agency, the three mobians were dying from the heat. Vector was laying in front of his battery powered desk fan, Espio was sitting in his locker with tons of bags of ice cubes lying around him, and Charmy was trying to fit in the freezer.
"Vector…can't you turn the air conditioning on? You know, so we ALL can get cooled off?" Espio begged. The crocodile stared at him.
"Well, you see…uh…"he sweat dropped.
"You forgot to pay the electric bill again, didn't you?" the chameleon snapped.
"Well, what happened was…"
"UHH! We're going to die in this heat!" Espio moaned. Vector just sighed, and tried to ignore both the heat and his whining teammate.
"Maybe the bill is in the mail. I'll go look." the leader added as he stood up and slowly walked to the front door. As he walked, he looked into the kitchen to see Charmy literally laying in the freezer and drinking ice cold water. Shaking his head, Vector opened the door and only being greeted by a blow of hot air. Quickly he grabbed his mail and headed inside.
"See anything about electric?" Espio asked him while walking up to him.
"Well, no…but there is something that could use our help." Vector replied, opening a letter.
"It says that the police want to see us for a crime scene downtown."
"Really? Like, now?"
"Yeah."
"UHH! In this heat?"
"Yes Espio." Vector sighed. "But, it's saying we need to leave Charmy behind."
"Why?"
"It says there is too much…a child shouldn't see."
"Um, ok." Espio stopped to think. "Well, we can't leave him here. Let's drop him off at Sonic's place!"
"Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are at Angel Island. It's cooler there than here." Vector stated.
"What about Shadow?"
"No…we'll regret it. What about Silver?" Vector guessed.
"He's with Blaze somewhere."
"Well, who else is left?"
Espio didn't have anyone in mind. He knew leaving a hyperactive 6 year old with girls like Amy or Rouge would be a bad idea. Amy would probably drive HIM nuts and Rouge may be a little too…Rougeish. So who was left? It just clicked in his head.
"Grab Charmy and let's head to the park." the ninja stated before heading to the door.
"Hold it, Espio. What are you doing?" Vector asked.
"I know someone who will watch Charmy for us." was all Espio said before going out the door. Vector walked into the kitchen and opened the freezer. Charmy greeted him with a smile.
"Come on Vector! There's room for more!" the bee invited. Vector just grabbed him and pulled him out of the freezer.
"Hey! What gives?" Charmy barked.
"Espio and I have to…go to a meeting and we're going to leave you with… someone for about…a hour." the crocodile replied.
"Oh…is it Cream and her mother again?"
It was a slap in the face for Vector. They could have dropped him off there! But Espio was already halfway to the park, so there aren't no changes now.
"No…it's whoever Espio has in mind." Vector answered dryly.
The chameleon made it to the heart of the park. It was quite empty since everybody was too hot to go outside. But he knew that certain someone, or someones, was going to be there. Being as still and quiet as ever, he tried hard to hear anyone's voice. The three voices he was searching for has been detected!
Near the large oak tree on the other side of the park, were the Babylon Rogues. The three were practicing tricks on Wave's new and improved extreme
gears, totally ignoring the heat. Espio ran up to them.
"Excuse me." he said quietly. Jet looked over at him while stopping his gear.
"Oh, it's you from that detective agency. What do you want?" he snapped, not wanting to be bothered.
"Look, I know you don't like us, but we need a HUGE favor from you guys." the purple ninja went straight to the point.
"What's that?" Wave asked. Then Vector came around the corner with Charmy nagging about how warm it was outside.
"Please, can you watch him for about an hour?" Espio asked.
"Who, the alligator?" Storm asked.
"NO! The bee!" Espio growled. "Please guys! We'll pay you!"
"How much we talkin?" Jet stepped forward. Vector got out his wallet.
"Um….$300?" he offered.
"Done and done!" the hawk snatched the cash from Vector. "Easiest 300 bucks we've ever made."
"Trust me….it's worth it." Espio said. "Bye!"
Espio and Vector hurriedly walked off, incase the thieves changed their minds. Charmy looked up at Storm.
"HEEY! I know you from somewhere!" he said in his high pitched squeal.
Jet flinched.
"I'm sure you do." Storm replied. "How old are you now, like 8?"
"This many!" Charmy held up 6 fingers. The albatross's eyes widened.
"Oh my god…this is going to be a trip." he moaned.
"IT'S HOT OUT HERE!" Charmy complained.
"But we're not finished with our gear yet!" Jet complained back.
"BUT IT'S SOOOOOOO HOOOOOOT!" Charmy squealed.
"Stop that! You sound like Wave when she's moody." Jet barked. Wave glared at him. He only smiled innocently.
"Just to shut the kid up, let's head back to the airship…"Wave mumbled while not taking her eyes off their leader. When she was ahead, Jet and Storm only chuckled.
