       Daddy Daughter Time
   DIR By: Sonic
       Date: November 26, 2018, 5:21 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Despite having two daughters that were blood relatives the
       Hedgehog family often acted like they were from two fractured
       families that came together to make a bigger one; in the way
       that one child was very close with their mother while the other
       spent a lot of her time following her father. The two often
       played favorites with their children as Sonic still very much
       acted like a kid himself while Karahl was cold to a point where
       it was hard to get a read on her emotions; overall the tiger and
       blue hedgehog weren't great parents. It had gotten so bad to a
       point where Sapphire almost knew nothing about her mother and
       Caroline wasn't even on her Father's radar.
       This dysfunctional behavior came to a boil when Sonic started
       referring to Caroline as 'the other one' causing Karahl to take
       action. No more would Sapphire be allowed to run rampant under
       her father's carefree guidance while Caroline was subject to
       severe discipline and high standards of her strict mother.
       Karahl had pushed Caroline and Sonic out of the house to bond
       while she and Sapphire got better acquainted. Sonic blinked as
       if everything had happened too fast even for him as the door to
       their small lakeside home slammed shut behind them as the cat
       and the hedgehog had nothing but the cloths on their backs and
       each other. Sonic gave an annoyed groan that was quickly
       dismissed as he jumped onto one foot eyes shooting open in
       response to the warning roar Karahl gave as if she could sense
       her husband's displeasure without even seeing it. As if running
       for his life Sonic grabbed his daughter's hand and pulled her to
       the outskirts of the city. In time he looked down to the cat
       wearing the red coat with an expression like he didn't know
       where to start. "So how do you know Karahl?." He said out loud
       as if trying to make a joke of the situation.

       While she was a lot closer to her mother then she was to her
       father, she still found her mother to be quite scary when she
       wanted to be. Having a lot of her own power or not, Karahl was
       still not someone to take lightly, being one of her daughters
       perhaps made Caroline someone who knew this best.
       As her sister was kept inside and she found herself pushed
       outside with the blue hedgehog that was her father, she found
       that she too felt like she didn't know what to do or where to
       start, they were so different personality wise it was no wonder
       her little sister got along well with him more then she did. But
       how did she manage to get along with Sapphire if she was so much
       like their dad?
       Caroline soon found herself being taken by the hand and pulled
       to the outskirts of the city, surprisingly, she didn't try to
       pull away and simply let it happen. When Sonic finally said
       something, Caroline did actually manage a small smile at what he
       asked. Clearly, he was just as unsure about what to do as she
       was. "Probably from that one time she birthed me" She'd reply
       back with a hint of that sass Sapphire dealt out so often. "How
       about you? Mum's told me how you met once or twice but I don't
       think I've heard the story from you before, at least not more
       recently"

       "Oh yeah I was there for that. You weren't much of a talker back
       then, you mainly just let out these cute little mews for the
       first three years of your life. Your mother may seem like a
       hardass but she would just melt when she saw you meow and reach
       out for something."
       Sonic scratched at his damaged ear while reflecting on his
       daughter's statement before shaking his head. "Yeah that story
       isn't exactly age appropriate. Besides I know how much you look
       up to your mother so I'll spare you the details of how I totally
       humiliated her during our first encounter." Sonic often had
       selective memory or he may have forgotten during their first
       encounter his lover left him passed out in a pool of his own
       blood with three cracked ribs. "Let's forget about the past and
       focus on the now. I wanna know all about you, what's your
       favorite film, what do you like to do for fun and I've never
       checked but you didn't pick up the family taste for chilidogs
       did you? Speaking of our tastes your mother she never served you
       any funny tasting meat did she?" Sonic asked curious if Karahl's
       lifestyle choice would extend to the other white cat in the
       family.

       Caroline couldn't help but to fully smile at the part about her
       being a baby and making little mews for noises, shortly after
       her smile though she rubbed behind her head and looked a little
       embarrassed, it was a good thing he hand't yet brought out the
       baby photos around anyone she liked, poor Sapphire probably
       suffered that blow though. "She mentioned I used to love
       grabbing your nose, when I was that age, that or people's tails,
       especially Tails'" She smiled again at the thought. Maybe they
       weren't as many worlds apart as she originally thought?
       "Age appropriate? Father I'm 21 now" She'd rather elegantly
       place her hands on the sides of her hips, she wasn't sure if he
       was being entirely truthful about the humiliated part, but she
       could ask her mother about it later. When Sonic started to ask
       about her, her tail flicked a bit anxiously. "Uhm... For the
       chilidog thing I don't dislike them but they're not my favourite
       thing to eat, to put it simply, I think the food I enjoy most
       are certain types of sushi" She seemed hesitant on the other
       questions. "I'm not too sure on the movie one actually, though I
       did enjoy this one movie we watched when I was younger about two
       sisters, one had powers she didn't control very well and she
       locked her sister out to keep her safe" Sounded kinda familiar
       in a sense. "For the funny tasting meat, no actually, but I know
       why you're asking, has she ever done that to you?" For some
       reason, she left the fun question for last. "..For fun? I like
       to practice with Mr Doppel, or hang out with Sapphire and Robin"
       She put a hand to her chin in thought, why was this question so
       difficult? Probably because they had different ideas of fun "Mr
       Doppel's kids are pretty fun to hang out with too.. " She bit
       her lower lip and trailed off a little bit, her answers weren't
       anything too exciting, but she had a question of her own. "I
       know this is probably odd to ask but, how did you know you had a
       thing for mum way back when you first got together? How can you
       tell? What do you do with those kinds of feelings?" Pretty
       specific questioning but maybe she had a reason as to why she
       was asking such things.

       "I was eighteen and I still wasn't ready." Sonic shuddered
       thinking back to the horrors Karahl had subjected him to during
       their first encounter. When Caroline let slip she was twenty-one
       Sonic suddenly remembered he was thirty-nine and realized just
       how much his daughter had grown up; he still thought she was
       sixteen. "Sushi huh? I used to make that for your mother there
       was this odd excitement she had about watching catch fresh fish
       for her." When she piped up about her favorite film he nodded in
       agreement. "Oh yeah Scorched! You girls loved that film, you and
       your sister would dress up as Lana and Nelsa and go to those
       nerd conventions with your Uncle Tails." Taking a stroll down
       memory lane with Caroline was surprising pleasant causing Sonic
       to don a somber smile as he looked off into the neon lights and
       signs of the city streets before them.
       When the white cat brought up Robin, Sonic narrowed his eyes
       into a squinting glare as he punched a fist into his open palm.
       "I'd sure like to smack that kid. If he so much as looks at your
       sister again, I'll rip his eyes out and shove them down his
       pants so he can watch me kick the crap out of him." For some
       reason the wild mutt just rubbed Sonic the wrong way and the
       fact he had eyes for the jewel of his life only compounded that
       dislike.
       With her next batch of questions Sonic was surely starting to
       notice his eldest daughter was quite the curious cat. "Well
       let's just say there's a reason I don't let your mother make
       chilidogs." As for her final question the blue hero took a seat
       on a nearby bench and patted the spot beside him.
       "Honestly....it was something I struggled for most of my life
       because your mother she....well has this bad habit of killing
       people for money." Saying that last part made Sonic's stomach
       churn causing him to look a little pale before he continued.
       "I've lost a lot of friends because of the choices I've made but
       I don't regret it. You see when my comrades found out I was in
       love with an assassin and refused to do anything about
       it.......they all stopped talking to me.
       Amy,Bunnie,Sal,Ant,Rotor even Knuckles won't give me the time of
       day anymore. I mean I get it, she's doing the wrong thing and I
       was meant to stop her......."
       Taking a deep breath he carried on his relaxed and raspy voice
       carrying a hint of regret. "I just couldn't bring myself
       to.....At first it was nothing more than flirty physical
       attraction but after our first encounter....I was hooked. The
       raw power,pride and furiosity she held in her eyes was
       intoxicating, I lost myself in her evil ways and let her get
       away with murder time and time again. Slowly my reputation as a
       hero was trashed; they tore down my statue and burned everything
       with my face on it as it became common knowledge amoung my inner
       circle that Sonic The Hedgehog had become infatuated with evil.
       The sad thing is it's all true Caroline, when they came for your
       mother I chose a side and I hurt my friends.......badly. I
       didn't enjoy hurting them but love makes you do crazy things
       kid." Now rapidly scratching at his damaged ear Sonic almost
       seemed like a dog trying to scratch an itch that just wouldn't
       go away. "To sum things up for you, I think you'll know you're
       really in love when you're willing to do anything to protect the
       object of your affection. I gave up my fame, friends and even
       family to stand by your mother......My Uncle Chuck hasn't talked
       to me in years and wouldn't even show up to our
       wedding.....despite all that I don't regret what I did. I
       was....I am a hero and your mother was the total opposite which
       is probably why I'm drawn to her. I followed my heart and it got
       me here. My days of being beloved and famous may be over." Sonic
       seemed sad uttering that last part as his ears dropped down
       while he placed his head in his hands.
       "But I've got two wonderful girls and a loving wife so in a way
       I hit the jackpot. Life isn't just black and white
       Caroline....as you grow up you realize the world comes in shades
       of gray."

       At Sonic's first remark she smiled anxiously, there were lots of
       things in life people were never ready for. For her it had been
       discovering her powers and having them get out of hand the first
       time, she was sure nobody around her at the time was ready for
       that actually.
       "Oh really?" She seemed rather impressed about the part where he
       would catch fish for Karahl to make sushi though, "That's
       impressive, was the fish ever hard to catch? I know how you are
       about water sometimes" She then laughed lightly at the mention
       of Scorched, "That's the one, Sapphire always looked so cute in
       the Lana outfit" It was actually... Rather nice getting to be
       like this with her father for once, and it sure was nice to
       break the ice eventually.
       Caroline covered her mouth lightly in a bit of a faked gasp at
       what Sonic said about Robin, truthfully, she was hiding a sort
       of smile. She didn't often get to see Sonic be all fatherly
       protective of herself or Sapphire. "Oh dear, is he truly that
       bad? Uncle Tails seems to think fondly of him" She did find it
       amusing though and was sure Sonic wouldn't actually harm the dog
       if it came down to it, he was just being protective of his
       younger daughter. "Have you asked Sapphire how she even feels
       about him yet though? Last thing you'd want is for her to like
       him back, right?" She gave a rather mischievous giggle, she knew
       how they both felt, only time would tell if Sonic did.
       Caroline nodded in understanding at the chilidog part before
       looking a bit surprised as he ushered for her to sit beside him
       on a nearby bench, she did so swiftly after the surprised passed
       though and prepared herself to listen to his words.
       Hearing Sonic's story on the matter was something else to
       Caroline. She knew how much his hero days and fame meant to him,
       so hearing how he threw it all away when it came to love was
       very touching to her. He gave up friends, family and fame and
       had he not of, she and Sapphire wouldn't even be here. The
       reputation he worked so hard for in the past was gone, just like
       that because he chose to follow his heart. Caroline would look
       aside for a moment, genuinely feeling bad for the loss Sonic
       must've gone through to get to where he was now. All of that for
       his partner, and his family, now that, to her, was truly
       something to look up to.
       "Someone once told me, that those who mind don't matter, and
       those who matter don't mind" She began after Sonic finished, "I
       can't say I've been through the same as you, but I have lost
       friends before, for different reasons obviously, friends come
       and go. The ones that truly matter though, they always stick
       around" She smiled lightly at him, grateful for his advice, his
       story and his view on things, they were different sure, but they
       had their similarities and their differences helped each other
       in some way.
       Caroline would close her eyes for a moment, and when she
       reopened them her eyes were no longer the red colour she always
       made them be, instead they were blue, the same blue Sonic's eyes
       were, so that when he looked at her, it'd be like a mirror of
       his own eyes. In this moment, she didn't feel bad to have the
       same eyes as her father, in fact, she felt proud to have the
       eyes of someone who risked so much for the people he loved.
       "Thank you for your words, it helps a lot" She'd then pause for
       a moment and fiddle with her own hands, looking aside, she
       wasn't sure if this was wise to say to him, but he'd trusted her
       with something so close and personal, perhaps she should do the
       same "I'm sorry that I asked something so close to home, I just
       feel like I've gotten feelings for someone myself, and I'm not
       really sure what to do or how to tell them, heck, I don't even
       know if they'd ever feel the same way. Sapphire says I shouldn't
       let the opportunity to say how I feel slip through my fingers,
       because I won't always have the chance to tell them how I feel,
       but everytime I try I get all knotted up." She looked back to
       Sonic, looking confused and a little lost "Did you ever feel
       that way with mother?"

       Sonic waved dismissive had at Caroline's statement about
       Sapphire. "Caroline, please! Sapphire doesn't even like boys
       yet." He said firmly believing his tomboy of a daughter hadn't
       entered her feminine phase yet. Thinking on her final question
       Sonic shook his head. "I don't really get nervous around women.
       When I'm around your mother's it's a similar sensation to
       breaking the sound barrier all these intense feelings hit you
       all at once but you blast on ahead because it's just what you
       do." Sonic nudged the white cat lightly donning a cheeky smile.
       "So who is it? Come on you can tell your old Dad." He said as he
       ribbed her on into spilling her guts on who her special someone
       was.

       Caroline couldn't help but to laugh at Sonic saying Sapphire
       didn't even like boys yet. "Father, she is 18, are you sure
       about that?" Some would argue he wasn't the best of dad's but he
       sure did care, and that mattered. "At least Robin isn't one of
       Shadow's kids though right?" Knowing full well how 'well' the
       two hedgehog's got along, she thought maybe that would at least
       help Robin in some sort of way to getting on Sonic's good side.
       She felt similar to him though, she wanted Sapphire to be with
       someone who was good and kind, or not at all.
       She listened again to hear that Sonic didn't get nervous like
       she did, that was sort of to be expected though, he was a big
       time hero and wasn't easily scared or made to be nervous.
       Caroline rested her elbows on her knees and rested her cheeks
       against the palms of her hands, she stayed that way until she
       got nudged by Sonic and asked who it was she had feelings for.
       "Uhhm.. Uh" She went noticeably pink in the cheeks and shied her
       gaze away for a moment. "You know my teacher, Doubles, right?"
       She'd ask, still looking away, "Recently I've been finding
       myself really distracted when training with him, whenever his
       offspring is around, the eldest one specifically" She sighed
       lightly and then cupped her hands around her burning cheeks. "I
       get this weird butterfly feeling in my stomach and it makes me
       lose control of my powers, it's embarrassing, I'm always messing
       up around my teacher now and it keeps getting worse and worse,
       I'm surprised I haven't blown up his entire training room by
       now" She sighed and gave a sad flick of her tail, causing the
       little bell wrapped around it to jingle softly. Love was in no
       way a bad thing but she seemed pretty down about having hard
       feelings for someone else. "I don't really know what to do, it's
       messing up my training and I doubt they would ever return the
       feelings the same way, you know?"

       Sonic shook his head confident in his words unaware of just how
       wrong he was. "Your sister and I have this bond, she tells me
       everything. Besides she's too busy chasing her career to think
       about dating at the moment." Listening to the way Caroline
       talked reminded the blue hedgehog of his betrothed causing him
       to raise an eyebrow. "Offspring...eldest....Caroline did your
       mother make you eat a thesaurus or something? You sound just
       like she dose. Loosen up it's just you and your ol Dad. Look
       your Mother wouldn't go for this but when it's just us around
       drop the formalities and just call me Sonic." With that out of
       the way he stood and idly poked at the cute bell on Caroline's
       tail unable to resist tapping it after watching it move when her
       tail twitched.
       "His eldest boy huh? I'm afraid I don't know much about him but
       even if he doesn't feel that way don't let it get you down.
       Karahl thought I was annoying when she first met me and now look
       at me. Point is I've seen you grow and you're not the type of
       girl to wait around and be asked, you've gotta go out and take
       what you want because that's who you are. You want my advice
       invite him and your sister out to the movies and tell him all
       three of you are going, then last moment ask Sapphire to drop
       out and the two of you are suddenly stuck alone at a motion
       picture and it's not even set up like a date so it's not
       awkward."
       He leaned forward cracking back before pawing at her bell again
       like he was a cat in a trance.
