Sunshine looks out at the dormant snow covered garden as he sips at a mug of hot chocolate, noticing with slight alarm that the wrapping paper and packaging from his family's Christmas gifts had vanished from where they had been placed by the trash cans outside the previous evening. Things had been disappearing from the garden for weeks now, first it started out with the random piece of fruit or vegetable but then items such as solar path lamps and gardening tools had started going missing as well.
"What in the...?"
The hedgehog mumbles to himself before sighing softly when a thought crosses his mind "Not again...Sonic! Eggman's kid was in the yard again last night!" He calls out to his husband, sounding beyond frustrated.
It had turned out that the strange figure that Sunshine had been seeing hanging around his home and who he suspected to be the one stealing from the garden was a young girl named Sage who claimed to be Dr.Eggman's daughter, although it didn't seem that she was quite as human as she appeared to be at first glance. She had an eerily cold and calculating demeanor about her, and an almost glitchy aura. That and she also floated, usually only an inch or two above the ground, but still floating. He'd have to try and talk to her next time he caught her hanging around again so he could figure out what she was up to and what she even was for that matter, she hadn't caused any harm yet but the father didn't like how she seemed to be watching his family. What kind of information could she be bringing back to Eggman and what could he do with it?
He didn't want to have to move and uproot his family again, especially since they had all just settled in where they are now and after everything Sol and Pandora had gone through the last time they had changed residence. He couldn't do that to them again...not when they finally felt safe and at home with their family.
