     I dedicate this short episode to the parents of Emily Smith,
who cared enough for their daughter to be concerned about her
Cyberspace love life.  A true sign of good parents.

     Davey Crockett and Sonia Hedgehog were lying on a hill
watching the clouds, when Sonia, out of the blue, asked Davey if
she can ask a personal question.

     "That depends."

     "David, I don't know how to say it . . . do you think we're
too . . . forward?"

     "Forward?  What makes you say that, Sonia?"

     "I mean . . . when we're close . . . and when we're kissing
for hours . . . and I unbutton your shirt and rub my cheek into
your chest."

     "Oh. <a pause> I don't think so, not on my standards.  Why
you ask?"

     "Well . . . It's about last month.  When you were crying in
bed all week after you knew . . . who your dad was . . . I was
with you an awful lot.  People were thinking that we . . . were .
. . "

     "Suni, I was in shock over the fact that Robotnik's my dad. 
Sure, I was in the mood; and monkeys fly outta my tail.  Besides,
we had our clothes on."

     "I know.  It's probably . . . nothing."

     "No it's not.  I consider sex to be a very difficult subject
to discuss, to understand.  It needs to be confronted, but with
extreme care, lest someone gets hurt.  I say this from
experience, being in my mid-20s, and done my homework on such
things."

     "Really?"

     "Yes.  I take it that these people; I guess Uncle Chuck's
one--he mentioned it to me . . ."

     "He's one of those people that were concerned about me."

     "I know.  I'm glad that he did.  Shows he cares.  I merely
told him that it's just not my style to take advantage of a
person sexually.  I hope that I prove worthy of his trust."

     "I'm sure you will.  It's just that . . . I'm a little . .
."

     "Hmm?"

     "Afraid.  When I turn into Phenix now, especially with you,
I see you through her eyes and feel like jumping out of my skin. 
It's just that I . . . want to . . ."

     "Shhhh.  That's just your puberty talking.  That happens
naturally when you grow up.  If you want to get technical, call
it a sex drive.  You can't get rid of it, but you can--and must
--control it, lest your hurt someone with it."

     "I know.  I . . . don't want to hurt you.  I can sense, from
your thoughts, that you feel the same way . . . I do."

     "Yeah.  I, too, am a bit scared over this subject, and it's
not because of our ten year age difference.  In the planet where
I came from, Sex was used way too casually.  I wanted it to be
special, for the one I'll be married to.  I'm afraid that I'll
won't be able to have my wish."

     "Hmmm."

     The two didn't talk much after that.  They just returned to
their cloud watching.  In their hearts, both felt a weight lift
rom their shoulders.  They were glad they have this talk.  Like
Davey said, it needed to be discussed, and discussed with someone
who cares.

     Like Uncle Chuck, who hobbled with his cane as he passed the
two.  "How are you lovebirds doing?"

     "We're doing just fine, Uncle."

     "Couldn't help but hear what you two were talking about. 
Like you said David, you need to take it with care.  When I was a
Worker-Bot, I've seen your father get into orgies with a whole
harem of robotic . . . er . . ."

     "Pleasure Dolls, Chuck?  Don't tell me my father's a
pervert."

     "Well, when you desire the fairer sex for one thing and one
thing only, you might end up doing the things Robotnik did at
nights.  I don't want to repeat the stuff he did."

     "Then don't, please.  Some of us don't want to know."

     Chuck smiled.  "I take it you get a lot of that on your
world."

     "I get too much of that on my world.  You'd have another
heart attack if I told you the stuff earthlings do, and I don't
want *that* to happen, do I?"

     Chuck holds his hands in front.  "I'll take your word for
it, sonny.  But honesty, I'm glad that you're not like that.  You
respect her too much.  I know that.  Like you said, I'm just
concerned like any good parent."

     "I hope I prove myself worthy of your trust, Uncle Chuck."

     "Thank you,"  Chuck said as he left.

     They didn't speak much afterward.  They said what needed to
say.  As they watched the sun set over the skyline of
Robotroplis, knowing that one day it will set on a reborn
Mobotroplis, with a tall castle where King Sonic and Queen Sally
dwells, and Suni and Davey lives the rest of their days in peace,
their arms moved into each other.  They pulled themselves close
and kissed.

     They weren't afraid anymore.
