The Arrival of Kyle

(Kitchen)

(Kevin is talking on the phone)

Kevin: Okay, great. I’ll let the kids know. (Hangs up phone) Kids!

(Living Room)

(The kids stand shoulder to shoulder)

Kevin: My little brother Kyle is coming to stay with us.
Sonic: That’s great!
Tails: When does he get here?
Kevin: He’ll be here in a few minutes.
Vanilla: So remember; be on your best behavior.
Kids: OK!

(Doorbell sounds; Kevin leaves to get it)

Kevin: Hey, you made it!

(Kyle and Kevin come in)

Kyle: How’s it hanging?
Kids: Hi Kyle.
Kyle: Well, you know who I am, but who are you?
Sonic: My name’s Sonic.
Tails: Mine’s Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails.
Knuckles: I’m Knuckles.
Amy: I’m Amy Rose.
Rouge: I’m Rouge.
Shadow: I’m Shadow.
Cream: And I’m Cream.
Kyle: Nice to meet you guys. Hey, you know where I can sack it out around here?

(Kyle’s Room)

(Kyle is unpacking his stuff)

Kyle: Hey, thanks for showing me to my room, Rouge.
Rouge: Hey, no problem.
Kyle: Kevin has a nice house here.
Rouge: It’s Vanilla’s. Kevin’s her boyfriend. He does a good—
Kyle: What’s wrong?
Rouge: WAAHHH!
Kyle: Oh no.

(He carries her to Vanilla)
Kyle: Something’s wrong with Rouge.

(Vanilla sniffs her)

Vanilla: She needs a new diaper.
Kyle: How do I do that? I don’t have and training in childcare.
Vanilla: I’ll have to show you.

(Nursery)

(Vanilla takes off Rouge’s overalls and lays her on the changing table)

(Kyle un-tapes her diaper)

Kevin: Bogus.
Vanilla: You’ll get used to it. Wipe and powder her now.

(Throws it away, and wipes Rouge, who is calmer. She faces Kyle and smiles.)

Rouge: Thank you.
Vanilla: get out a clean diaper.

(Kyle blushes and laughs; Takes out one for boys)

Vanilla: That’s one for boys.
Kyle: Oh, sorry.

(Puts Rouge in a clean one for girls.)

(Sets her on the ground; Rouge runs off)

Vanilla: You did well.
Kyle: Thanks.
Vanilla: But if that were Sonic, it would have been a Herculean task to stop him. He’s the fastest.
Kyle: Hmm…

(Living Room)

(Shadow is playing a video game)

Kyle: What’re you doing?
Shadow: Playing Kung Fu Warrior.
Kyle: I’m pretty good at that game, want to play against me?
Shadow: OK.

(Shadow and Kyle go to player select; Kyle selects “Shang”, Shadow selects “Kai”. The arena is a far eastern beach)

(They fight; Shadow wins round one)

Shadow: Gotcha there.
(Round two begins; they fight; Kyle wins)

(Round three begins; they fight; “Kai” uses his super move, a huge, bluish-green fireball that depletes 45% of “Shang’s” vitality)

Shadow: This lesson’s going to be painful: Never let your foe get the advantage.
Kyle: I’ll keep it in mind. I can teach a lesson in fighting too. Just because your opponent gets his licks in first doesn’t mean you have to quit.

(“Kai” uses his super move, a combo move that KOs “Shang”)

Shadow: You ARE good.
Kyle: Thanks, you’re pretty good yourself.
Shadow: Want to have a rematch later?
Kyle: Sure.

(Both give “Thumbs up”)
