Ezra Returns

What Espio looks like in a Japanese Dress

Espio came running over to me. "I... I saw..."

"You saw Scourge the Jerkhog?" I asked. Espio nodded while catching his breathe. "You ok?" He asked. I looked down. "Yes and no." I answered. "Scourge was my old friend Beast. He tried to, you know." I said. Espio's eyes went big. "I'm sorry." He said putting his arm around me. "Sonic came to the rescue right before I drowned."

"Scourge tried to drown you?" He asked worried. I nodded. I cried into his chest. "I was so scared." I said crying. Espio put his arms around me. "It's ok. You have me and Sonic to protect you." Espio said. He started to sway me back and forth. "What are you doing?" I asked. Espio shrugged. "Trying to make you feel better." He said. He continued to sway me. Then, he spun me around. I giggled. "You're so weird." I said. "Don't compliment me." He said. We stopped dancing. "Come on, I have something to show you." He said holding my hand. "Close your eyes."

"Why?" I asked. "Just do it." Espio answered. I giggled and closed my eyes. "If something happens to me I'm going to kill you." I warned. "Fare enough." Espio said. He dragged me for what seemed like hours. We finally stopped. "Ok you can open now." He said. I opened my eyes. We were standing underneath tons of cherry blossom trees. "Wow!" I said. I looked around and noticed a little pound. "It's like we're in Japan or China." I said. I looked at Espio and thought of something funny and giggled. "What?" He asked. "I was thinking of what you would look like in one of those Japanese dresses." I said smirking. Espio started to blush. I tagged him. "You're it!" I said and ran away. "Hey! Get back here!" Espio yelled and started to chase me. He finally caught up with me. "I got you now." he said. He jumped on top of me. "Got you!" He said. Something started to tickle me. I started to laugh. "Stop! I'm ticklish!" I laughed. "This is for an unfair start." Espio said. He finally stopped tickling me. I caught my breathe. "Why do you make me so happy?" I asked. Espio shrugged and kissed me. "Ew, get a room!" We looked up and saw Nikki and Crazy. Espio stuck his tongue out. Nikki picked up a rock and threw it at him. "Hey! Break it up!" I snapped. I gave Nikki and Crazy a hug. "I heard about what happened between you and Scourge." Nikki said. "Don't worry though, I'll beat the snot out of him if he tries to hurt or touch you." Nikki said punching and kicking the air. Me and Espio laughed. "Well thank you Nikki." I said. "Oh that reminds me," Nikki said pulling out a parchment. "I have a letter from your father. "Dear daughter, I forbid your boyfriend Espio to touch you any where near-"

"OK! That's enough." I said. Espio looked highly disturb. "Tell my father that he shouldn't worry about me and that I love him and mom." I said. She saluted me and rode off on her invisible motorcycle. "How-"

"I have no idea." I said.
