CRAZY IN LOVE OR JUST PLAIN CRAZY?

Chapter One

"Chao Chaos"

"Psst! Cream!"

"Bokkun!" Cream said, as Bokkun climbed in her window. "If my mom sees you, she'll be furious!" Vanilla didn't approve of her daughter dating the weird little guy. Although he was no longer working for Dr. Eggman, and Tails had recently deroboticized him (although into what, no one knew,) Vanilla still felt that he was a pest and completely wrong for her beloved daughter.

"I just had to see ya!" he said, getting one foot caught on the curtain. He fell with a yelp into Cream's bedroom. The curtain came down, covering him. "Yeow!"

"Hush!" Cream hissed. "Mom'll hear you!" She tried to pull the curtain off of him. Unfortunately, he was all wrapped up in it. She gave the curtain a good yank. Bokkun spun along the floor and right under her bed. "Oh, Bokkun!"

"Waugh! Everything keeps spinning around and around and around and…"

Cream lifted up her bed with one hand and pulled Bokkun out with the other. "Are you okay?"

"…and around and around and… Oh, hey! It stopped!"

"Quit clowning around, silly!" Cream said.

"Chao chao chao!" Cheese complained.

"Yes, I know I shouldn't be keeping secrets from my mother," Cream said. "Please don't tell on me, Cheese." If she didn't know better, she'd think Cheese was jealous of her just budding relationship with Bokkun. But Cheese was like a sister (or brother, Cream was never quite sure) to her.

"Yeah, don't be a fink, Cheeseball!" Bokkun said.

Bam! Cheese knocked Bokkun over. "Chao chao!"

"Cheese! Bokkun! Behave yourselves right this minute!" Cream said. She could be as scary as Amy when she got angry.

"Chao!" Cheese said, apologizing.

"Please don't get mad at me, Cream!" Bokkun sobbed. "I'm trying ever so hard to be good!"

"That's all right," Cream said. She never stayed angry for long. "Let me put on some hair ribbons, and we'll all go out to the park together and play!"

"Yay!" Bokkun cried, jumping in the air.

Cream put her hand over his mouth. "Are you trying to get thrown out of here?" she demanded.

"Sorry," Bokkun said.

While Cream was tying the ribbons around her ears, Cheese pantomimed "You. Drive. Me. Up. The wall."

Bokkun pantomimed back, "You. Drive. Me. Crazy."

"I'll be right back," Cream said. "I think I'll wear my orange sweater. It's in the living room, I think. Don't you two fight while I'm gone!"

"Chao chao!" Cheese said, grinning.

"Oh, we won't!" Bokkun said, grinning broader.

As soon as Cream closed the door behind her, Cheese opened Cream's closet and started throwing things out onto the floor.

"Hey!" Bokkun cried. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Chao chao chao!"

"I don't know what you just said," Bokkun said, "but I didn't like the way you said it!"

Cream threw open the door. "I'm ba--Whaaat?" All of her toys, dolls, crayons, pads of art paper, everything was all over the floor.

"Chao chao chao!" Cheese yelled, pointing at Bokkun.

"Huh?" Bokkun said. "Hey! I didn't do it! I…"

"Cream?" came her mother's voice. "What's all that noise?" She opened the door to her daughter's room. "Oh! What a mess!" Then her eyes narrowed. "Bokkun! I'm getting my broom!"

"Oh, no, Mom!" Cream cried, racing after her. "I'm sure he doesn't mean to be bad!"

"You fink!" Bokkun said.

"Chao chao! Pbbttttt!"

"Give me a raspberry, will you?!?" Bokkun cried, jumping up and down in fury. "Well…pbbbtttt!!"

"Pbbbtttt!"

"Pbbbttttt!!"

Unfortunately, Bokkun was so mad at Cheese, he forgot that Vanilla was going for her broom. That is, until…

Whack! "Ow!" Vanilla started chasing Bokkun around Cream's room.

"Out! Get out, you little pest!"

Smack!" Ow!" Bokkun ran down the hall, with Vanilla in hot pursuit. "I'll see you…(Whack!) Ow!…later, Cream! I…(Pow!) Owie! I'll be in the…(Whack!) Yeowch!…park!"

Vanilla chased Bokkun five times around the living room before Cream at last opened the front door so he could run out.

"And don't come back, you little pain in the neck!" Vanilla yelled. She closed the door.

"Mom!" Cream cried.

"I'm doing this for your own good, honey," Vanillla assured her. "You can do a lot better than Bokkun! And don't even think of meeting him in the park!"

Cream sighed. "Yes, Mother." She headed back to her room. There, she caught Cheese, giggling. "Well?" she demanded, tapping her foot.

Cheese gave her a huge grin. "Chao chao?"

"You'll have to do better than that!" Cream said. "I am very disappointed in you, Cheese. I never thought my best friend would turn out to be a snitch!"

"Chao chao!" Cheese sobbed.

"Don't apologize to me," Cream said. "Apologize to Bokkun."

Cheese made a face. "Chao chao!"

"I don't care if you don't like him!" Cream said. "You're not my mother!"

"Chao chao!"

"Yeah, you're right," Cream admitted. "My mother doesn't want me seeing him either. But shame on you! Bokkun makes me happy. I thought you wanted me to be happy."

Cheese started cleaning up the mess.

"Here," Cream said, "I'll help you."

Once the mess was cleaned up, Cream and Cheese sank down onto Cream's bed. "Whew! When you mess up a room, you really mess up a room!"

"Psst! Hey, Cream!"

"Bokkun?!?" Cream gasped. "What are you doing back here?"

"You didn't show!" he whined. "I waited and I waited and I waited and I…"

"I get the idea," Cream said. "Just don't climb in my window and get stuck on the curtain again, Bo…"

"Waugh!" Crash!

"…kkun!" Cream finished.

"Cream? What is that? Augh! He's back! Where's my broom?"

"I'll see you around, Cream!" Bokkun cried, jumping out the window.

Cream sighed. "At this rate, I'm going to be an old maid!"
