Charlie and Vinnie road for hours along an endless highway,loveing every minute of it.It was about 3 in the morning when they decided that they needed to get home.On the way home Vinnie hit a pothole in the ground and it sent Charlie flying over Vinnies head and into the ground in front of the bike.Vinnie stoped and got off,and wlkaed over to her.She was just laying here.Her body was lifeless.Vinnie picked her up with htreas in his eyes and rode back home.When he got there he cared her in the jose and layed her onn the couch."THROTTLE,MODO,SKY!!!!GET IN HERE!!"Vinnie yelled as he sat down by the couch and looked at Charlie's bloody face.Throttle,modo and Sky all came out at the same time.Vinnie was siting there covered with Charlie's blood and he was crying."Whats wrong Bro?"Throttle asked,But Vinnie didn't have to answer.When Throttle saw Charlie tears came to his eyes as well as al the others."What...What Happend?"Modo asked as he walked up behind Vinnie and placed a hand on his shoulder."I hit a pothole and she wasn't holding on...she wnet flying out in front of me."Vinnie said as he wiped the tears from his eyes and looked up at Sky who was in shock."I'm sorry sweetheart."Vinnie said as he walked over to Sky and hugged her tightly. The next morning around 6 am they placed Charleene Davidson in theground for her final resting place.
Vinnie held Sky tightly,muffling her soft sobbs.Modo and Throttle walked
over to Charlie and took the blanket of the back of the couch and placed
it on her then closed her eyes and placed the blanket over her head and
walked over to Sky and Vinnie.Throttle placed a hand on Vinnie's shoulder
and Modo did it also.Vinnie looked at them both with red rimed eyes and
smiled weakly.'I'm sorry'he said softly.Throttle shook his head and closed
his eyes.Modo walked over to Throttle and huged him as they both sobbed
softly for Charlie.'h-mmmmmmmmm'Charlie mumbled soflty from under the blanket,Vinnie,Modo,Throttle,and
Sky all looked at the couch where Charlie lays.Chrarlie moved slightly under

her down.'I could have died tonight Throttle,it just hit me that I was so
close to death and all the people that I care about would have had to deal
with it.And Sky,she's so young,and she needs her mother now more than ever.'Charlie

sleeply and went back to bed.Throttle and Charlie sat there the rest of
the night and talked about the good and the bad times that they had,had
together.Most of them were good.They both feel asleep on the couch,Charlie
leaning on Throttle.Vinnie walked out of his room and looked at them then
picked Charlie up and took her into his room and placed her on his bed covered

in Vinnie's room then awoke slowly.She arose and looked round then rubbed
her forhead and stood up.'Oh Vinnie...'Charlie said softly then walked out
into the kitchen and sat down beside Throttle.She saw that Sky's head was
on the table and VInnie's hand was on it.Charlie placed her hand on Vinnie's

followed.'Out'she answed then slamed the door and left.'SKY!'Charlie yelled
and ran after her.Vinnie grabed Charlie by the arm'Let her go...she'll be

Sky walked down the back streets on her way to Rimfires house.She liked
to stop and read the writing on the wall.She didn't know why she just did.This
one writing on the wall caught her eyes,so she stoped and read it.It was
in red spary paint.The wall said'Vinnie&Charlie'.Vinnie had writen it
when he came back to Mars 18 years ago.It brought tears to Sky's eyes.She
walked on.Then she stoped,she heard foot stpes behind her.She turned to
he a tall white with a Black star over his right eye.'Hello'he said with
a raspy voice.'h...hello.'Sky answed back.The mouse walked closer to Sky.Sky
backed up slowly.'I'm Star'He said as he placed his large on her shoulder.She
pulled her shoulder away and backed away.'I don't bite..Promise'He said
then he held up his hand.She shook her head softly'I have to go now..'Sky
said as she turned and walked away.She tunred the corner,she was only two
blockes away from Rimy's house so she ran the rest of the way.She looked
back and saw Star standing there watching her closly. She knocked on Rimy's
door and there was no answer.She knocked harder.She looked back to see that
Star was gone.She sighed a sigh of reliefe.A large hand droped on her shoulder
she screamed and turned to see Rimy standing there'Rimy...thank god'she
said as she hugged him tightly.'Whats wrong?'he asked flatly.She looked
up at him and cocked her head'Are you ok?'Sky asked quitly.'I'm fine'..Rimy
said flatly again.Sky let go and backed away.'Rimfire..whats wrong with
you?'Sky asked soflty.'NOTHING!!'Rimy screamed at her and grabed her arms.'Nothing
is wrong with me!"he yelled agian more harsh this time.Sky turned her
head and crinched slightly.'Let me Go Rimfire!'She yelled back and tryed
to pull away,but that only had him tighten his grip.Rimfire looke into Sky's
eyes and she saw that he was scared and in pain.'lets go inside'he mouthed.She
followed him inside and ran to the other side of the house and locked the
doors.'I'm so sorry Sky'Rimy said when the doors where locked and so where
the windows.'What in the heck was that all about Rimy?you hurt me...look..'Sky
said as she pulled up her sleaves and showed that he had left some bad bruses.'That
mouse...Star..he told me to be harsh with you or he would kill us both,Sky
I think that he likes you,did you run into him in the alley?'he asked walking
over to her.'Yes i did...'Sky said begging to sob.'No it's not your falt.....I
mean it Sky'Rimy said walking over to her and holding her to calm her down.'I
have to go home and tell daddy about this..maybe he knows who this guy is..'Sky
said walking to the door and waiting for Rimy's answer.'I'm coming with

the door and walked home.'Hey!!'they herd someone call from the alley.It
was Star.They just kept walking speeding up alittle bit.'STOP!'Star yelled.They
keep on walking till they were only a few houses away from Sky's they hit

livingroom.'Sky what are you doing??!!?'Vinnie yelled as she entered the
livingroom.'m..m...mouse....ch..cha..chaseing....us.....Star.....you....know...him?'She
asked out of breath.'Star?'Vinnie said in a sour voice.'yes I know him..why

Modo came down from the up stair wipeing the sleep of their eyes.'What is

said as they reached him.'What did he do?'Modo asked as he sat down.'He

yelled after him...then looked at Throttle and Modo for help.They shook
their heads.'He'll Kill Vinnie!..we have to help!'Charlie yelled.'Charlie-Ma'ma..Vinnie

looked at Throttle and Throttle noded.'He was with the the Sandraiders and
when we had one of the biggest fights with them,Vinnie's parents were killed

for him.'Modo said then Throttle added'And he will be fine..'Throttle reaured
her.'I don't know...I'm going after him'Charlie said and befor Throttle
or Modo could stop her she was out the door and in to the street looking

just held on tighter.'Let him go.....Now'Charlie said stpeing closer to
him.'No sweet lady,...I can't do that...Cause if I do tht...then he would
surely try to hit me.'Star said.Vinnie shook her head and tryed to get Charlie
to go get help.But Charlie didn't move from her spot.Star squezzed Vinnie
a little harded til he heard alittle crack then he know that he had craked
a rib or two and put him down and let go.'Feel better Vincent Brother?'Star
asked as he grined.Vinnie breathed deep and held his side.Then slowly he
grabed his gun at his side and shot at Star.Hitting him in the shoulder
then then in the chest.Vinnie stood up slowly carful not to hurt his ribs.Then
he looked at Star and groaned.Star was in a pool of blood and was stone
cold.'Vinnie...you...killed...him'Charlie stamered.Vinnie noded'That was
the point.He killed our parents and now he's dead..it's fair'Vinnie said
coldly as he looked at Star.Then he simpley turned and went back to the
house.'Vinnie..you can't leave him there'Charllie said running after him.'Yes

and walked in looking around the room at the faces that watched him as he
walked in.'What did you do Vincent'Throttle asked as soon as Vinnie walked
in the room.'I took care of him.'Vinnie said then walked in his room and
shut the door.'Charlie ...what did he do?'Throttle asked after Vinnie shut

had his arm around her shaking shoulder's and was guiding her out of her

by her collar of her shirt and looked at you'No I'm Not'He said frimly and

again.'I'M NOT A MONSTER!!'Vinnie yelled.'Yes you are! look at yourself!!!'Sky
chimed in as she walked into te room.She had been listing to everything
sence they got home,Vinnie's eyes darted to Sky and his face was filled
with anger.'No I'm not..'Vinnie said slow and steady.'Yes you are,look at
what your doing to mom,you have to stop!'Sky yelled as she stood there looking
at Vinnie as if he had on insane.Vinni ewalked over to her and slape her
across the face.Sky uddered a low sigh of pain and held her face,then she
said slowly,'I regret ever coming here,meeting you and liveing here,you
are not MY father,nor will you EVER be'She said then turned and walked out.Sky's
words hit Vinnie like a knife throught his heart.He closed his eyes to hide
the tears bruning his eyes.Then he turned and walked out of the house getting
on his bike and he left.Cursing himself as he drove.Sky was in her room
crying at the what she had told her father and about him hitting her.Throttle
walke din and asked if she was ok.'Are you ok Sky?'He askedd as he shut
the doo to her room and at down beside her and placed an arm around her
shoulders.'Yeah,I'm fine unckle Throttle,'She said softly.Her head was down
and she had stoped crying.'You need to lay down,you've had a ruff day'Throttle
said as he stood and began to leave.'Throttle,what's wrong with Daddy?'Sky
asked in a childish voice.'It's a long story babe,I'll telly ou after tyou
have gotten some rest.'He answered and walked out closeing her door.Sky
did as Throttle said and she layed down to sleep.All she could think about
was how her father could have lost it so badly that he would hit her.Then
she cryed herself to sleep.Charlie had fallen alseep on Modo,and sleeping
soundly when Throttle came out of Sky's room.'We have to stop him,he can't
go on like this.'Modo said softly so not to wake Chralie,'I know...he's
been this way sence we came back 18 years ago...do you think that he had
grown hard hearted because we made him leave Charlie?you think that he is
holding it against us all these years,and now when they are here,he is slowly
comeing back to us?Slowly become the Vinnie we knew and loved?'Throttle
asked.'Maybe,he was really depressed for mounths after we got back to Mars,and
then after he got over that,he was mad or angery all the time,Throttle I
think your right,He just doesn't know how to come back to us,so he lets
out all the anger that he has been holding back inside for all those years
to become the Free Loveing Fancey Free Vinnie we all knew on Earth.'Modo
said noding his head as he talked.'He has had all that anger in him all
these years becaue we took him from the Love of his life right after...That
night,and now his is forgiving us because she is here and with him again.'Throttle
said as he looked at Charlie and smiled softly.Then h heard the door open
and saw Vinnie step in softly.He head was down.Modo and Throttle watched
him for a few moments till he noticed them.Then he looked up at them slowly
avoiding her eyes.'I'm sorry'Was all he said.Throttle and Modo noded.'You
should go and see Sky'Throttle said nding toward Sky's shut door.Vinnie
shook his head.'No..I can't,see doesn't wanna see me ever again,I'v lost
