We join our gang today at Cream's house helping her and her mother Vanilla to clean out the attic for it was spring and Cream and Vanilla wanted to do some spring cleaning around the house, starting at the attic. Luckily for the two female rabbits, Sonic, Tails, and Honey were passing by near their place and Vanilla asked for their assistance, which the trio were happy to help their middle-age rabbit friend and her daughter. Vanilla's attic was really dusty, with a lot of old items that Vanilla has held over the years as you expect from any attic to be.
There was Cream's old baby items like bottles, toys, and her old baby crib, which Vanilla loves to look at remembering how cute her daughter was as a baby. There were some old knick knacks that Vanilla can and can't remember having since it has been a long time seeing her old stuff. There was Vanilla's old accessories like her old clothes (Like the one Selena wore in the sixth entry.), wondering where's her mini skirt made out of snake skin.
She found some old movies in VHS tapes (If you remember those.) that contains such 80's movie like "The Breakfast Club" "Pretty in Pink" and "Saint Elmo's Fire"(She knows every line of those movies.) that she kept in a box together. There was a old photo book that had pictures of herself and her old friends when she was a teen that Vanilla herself loves to look at, as she looked different when she was a younger.
Vanilla the Rabbit is a middle age rabbit, the caring mother of six years old Cream the Rabbit, who she loves very dearly like any mother would for their child. Vanilla first met Sonic and his friends when he saved Cream and her from one of Eggman's scheme, who was trying to rule the world by capturing both Vanilla and Cream to keep them hostage for Sonic to use as bait. She even got kidnapped again from the mad scientist and Sonic recused Vanilla when he used his Super Sonic form and defeat Eggman. Vanilla wore a lavender dress, a crimson vest, a crimson shoes, and a orange ascot. Vanilla is a well respected person by Sonic and his friends.
Vanilla manage to find a box filled with old cassette tapes, which she remember that she used to rocked to "Wham!" and was not a big "Limp Bizkit" fan. Sometimes she thought she would get a hand from a member of "Duran Duran"". The mid age rabbit also found her poster of Van Halen, which made her think who's the other guy that singing in Van Halen. Honey the Cat was cleaning the attic by dusting off the dust of the old antiques like lamps and mirrors with a feather dusters, hopefully not to sneeze from the dust.
Tails was going through the VHS tape that were in a another box, surprise to find some movies that never made it to DVD and such. Vanilla and Cream, alongside Cheese were searching the boxes to see what they can do with the items for future purposes. Sonic was brushing the floor with a broom, trying to put the dust in a pile together, while singing a catchy tune to make his job more fun and exciting.
"'Cause she's still preoccupied with 19, 19, 1985! Woohoohoo!" Sonic sang happily, as he was brushing the floor with the broom.
"Sonic would you stop singing that song. It's getting on my nerves!" shouted Tails, really annoyed by Sonic's singing.
"Oh I can't help it Tails. I just have to sing that song when I see old 80's stuff." Sonic said, causing Vanilla to chuckle.
"Okay fine, but can you sing it in your head." Tails suggest.
"Sure thing buddy." Sonic replied, with a thumbs up.
"Thanks Sonic." Tails said as he was going through another box of VHS tapes. "Great Scott!" Tails shouted with interest.
"What is it Tails?" Honey asked, walking up to the yellow fox.
"Look what I found!" Tails said, in his hand was a VHS copy of Richard Simmons' dance workout video.
"Oh that's my old Richard Simmons dance workout tape." Vanilla cutting in between the two, grabbing the tape from Tails' hand. "I remember that I would watch these to keep fit when I was growing up." Vanilla said, smiling at the tape.
"Do you think I can borrow this?" Tails asked.
"You can keep it if you want Tails. Consider it as a thank you present for helping me and Cream clean out the attic." Vanilla giving Tails the tape.
"Thanks Vanilla. Looks like I know what I'm going to do in the morning." Tails said happily, as he continued his job cleaning the attic.
Vanilla smiled when she found a picture of Cream as a baby in diapers. "Oh Cream dear look, I found one of your baby pictures." Vanilla said, looking at the picture with a wide smile.
"Come here everyone, see how cute Cream was as a baby." Vanilla said causing Sonic, Tails, and Honey to come over to see the picture of baby Cream. The three laughed as they looked at the picture of Cream in diapers and a bottle of milk in her hands.
"Isn't she the most cutest girl you ever seen." Vanilla went on, as Sonic, Tails and Honey continued to laugh their butts off.
"Mom! You're embarrassing me!" Cream yelled at her mother with her face madly red from embarrassment that her mother was causing to her.
"Oh Cream dear just relax, I just want to show everyone how adorable you were as a baby, after all it is a parent's duty to embarrass their child in front of their friends you know." Vanilla laughing softly.
Sonic, Tails, and Honey went back to their spot cleaning off the dust from the attic. Cream was so embarrassed that she used her long rabbit ears to cover her red face from everyone, continuing to clean the attic.
Vanilla laughed, as she then looked down to her feet to see another picture of herself in her teen years. "Oh to be young again." Vanilla said, placing her hand on her cheek, while looking at her teen self. Honey looked over Vanilla's shoulder to the picture of the adult rabbit in her teen years.
"That was you?" Honey unable to believe that it was Vanilla on the photo, who looked much different than she is today.
"Sure was, I don't mean to brag but I was quite the looker back then." Vanilla laughed.
"I bet you had all the guys chasing after you huh? Trying to win your heart?" Honey asked, looking at the picture.
"Yeah, but none of the ones chasing after me never got my attention, except for one." Vanilla said looking up, trying to remember some past events.
"Really? Who?" Honey asked, really curious as she then grabbed a bag of popcorn out of nowhere. "Do tell." Honey said, before filling her mouth with popcorn, preparing to listen to Vanilla's story.
"Yeah, ironically this one guy was actually trying to avoid me for some strange reason, which really caught my attention and interest to him." Vanilla said, as she then began to rub her chin.
"I remember the day I first laid my eyes on him when I saw him walk past the diner that I used to work with my friend Clara, it wasn't until I officially met him in an car accident when my father was teaching me how to drive in the middle of the night." Vanilla thinking.
"Me, my mother, and my father patched him up back to health in our house, but the moment he healed is when he started to avoid me." Vanilla said.
"Really? What happened next?" Honey really wanting to know more on Vanilla's past.
"Eventually he stopped running from me when he helped me out when I was in danger and we both hanged out together after that and let me tell you Honey. The moments I spend my time with him were the funnest days of my teen life. If only he stayed, I would have probably married him if he asked me to with no question asked." Vanilla said, dreamy thinking of her crush from her youth.
"I wish you could meet him Honey. He was such a amazing person to be around, even my one friends had a crush on him. He was so full of life and was so kind to help people in need, kinda like Sonic in a way. I'll never forget his tweed waistcoat with a red handkerchief tuck in, his medium-length deep red velvet jacket with tan leather elbow patches, his brown felt hat, his full length tweed pants and his amazing stripy scarf." Vanilla said, with her face blushing madly the more she thought of her crush's outfit.
"Woah! What happen to him? Where is he?" Honey asked, amazed that Vanilla could remember the details of what the guy wore.
Vanilla's face frown when Honey asked that question. "He had to leave somewhere important." Vanilla sadly said.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Honey said, feeling bad asking that question.
"No it's okay really, he gave me a goodbye before he left." Vanilla trying calm down the yellow cat.
"He also gave me a souvenir to remember him by, which should be here in the attic actually. I like to show it to you when we find it." Vanilla looking around the attic. "I'm sure as we clean up the place we'll find it." Vanilla stated.
"Mom!" Cream shouted, running up to her mother with her chao Cheese flying next to her
"Yes dear? What is it?" Vanilla said, looking down at her beloved daughter.
"Me, Sonic and Tails are just about half way done cleaning the attic. Do you think we can take a little break? I want to eat those cookies you baked for us earlier today." Cream said.
"Chao! Chao!" Cheese chanted happily agreeing with Cream.
"Sure, I see why not. We were all working hard." Vanilla said, patting her daughter's head.
"Do you guys want to take a little break?" Vanilla asked, the hedgehog and fox.
"Sure," Sonic said. "I could use a little break. I'm getting hungry from all this work." Sonic putting down some boxes in his hands.
"My back is also starting to kill me. How about you Tails? Wanna take a break?" Sonic asked, while stretching his back.
"A break sounds about good right now, plus I want to try the Richard Simmons workout video." Tails putting down his set of boxes.
"Very well, let's all head down to the kitchen for some cookies." Vanilla said, heading out of the attic.
"Yah!" Cream shouted, following her mother.
"Chao! Chao!" Cheese chanted.
Just as the rest of the three were about to head downstairs, Sonic stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted something.
"Sonic, are you coming or what?" Honey asked.
"Yeah just give me a sec, I don't like the way that box is tilting left to right." Sonic pointing at a tower of boxes. "I'll catch up with you guys in just a sec, let me just make sure that box doesn't fall." Sonic said, going to the pile of boxes.
"Okay Sonic, be careful." Honey said, as she and Tails headed downstairs.
Sonic headed to the pile of boxes and tippy toe his feet so he can reached the box that was on the top. "There, I almost got it! Ahhh!" Sonic screamed, as the box he tried reaching for fell on him, causing a huge mess around him. Sonic's body was covered up in a pile of more 80's accessories that was on him.
"Ooh! My head." Sonic said, rubbing his head from the pain. Sonic got out of the pile and looked at the messed he caused.
"Oh great!" He said sarcastically, "Now I gotta clean this up." Sonic said, as then started to pick up the accessories.
As he was putting back the accessories in the box, one by one. His eyes were caught by a strange tiki artifact that looked really strange that caught his eyes with interest.
"What's this that we have here?" Sonic picking up the tiki artifact. The tiki in his hand had some weird written language on it that he couldn't read or understood. Sonic was examining every part of the tiki and then shook it in the air to see if it does anything.
"Looks like it does nothing." Sonic said, throwing the tiki back in the box as he went to pick up the rest of the mess.
Just as the tiki landed back in the box, it started to glow brightly which caught the hedgehog's attention.
"Woah! What's going on?" Sonic covering his eyes from the bright light. Sonic went back to the box, where the tiki was at, looking at it with curiosity filling his body.
"It wasn't doing that in the first place." Sonic said, covering his eyes with hands. Sonic slowly extended his hand, reaching for the tiki, but before the he could lay his hands on it, the eye of the tiki glowed red which zapped Sonic's body with a red beam coming out of it, making him disappear in thin air.
"AHHH!" Sonic screamed finding himself in a spinning vortex, really freaked out on what's happening around him. "Just what is going on?!" Sonic shouted, as his voice echo loudly in the vortex. Sonic felt like he was falling to a endless loop as he saw many different clocks new and old around the vortex, all of which were ringing out loud. Sonic turned his body in the direction where he was falling and saw a blinding light coming towards him.
"I better brace for what's about to come." Sonic said, as everything around him turned white and with him blacking out.
Sonic found himself falling from the sky at the moment, he didn't have enough time to react as his face planted to the ground like a ostrich. Sonic pulled really hard to get his head out of the ground. With one final pull he manage to set himself free.
"Ah the ground, my second worst enemy." Sonic said, remembering times he had his head stuck on the ground. Sonic wipe off the dirt that was on him as he looked around to see where he was.
"Looks like I'm at top of some hill." he said, at least he thinks he's at some hill, due to how dark it was at the moment.
It was nighttime, but not for long for the blue hedgehog to see the sun slowly rising up in the horizon. "How did I end up here? Just where am I?" Sonic questioned. The hedgehog quickly ran up down the hill and began to think quietly to himself with his hand on his chin, looking around the area.
"Where's Cream's house? I was just there moments ago in her attic." he went on, "Let's see. Me, Honey, and Tails were helping Cream and her mother clean the attic and-" Sonic stopped talking, when his stomach started growling.
"Oh man I can't think with my stomach bothering me." Sonic rubbing his belly. "That weird tiki did something to me and I'm going to find out what it did." Sonic said. The blue hedgehog then found himself on a dirt road, which a sign stood there saying that Station Square was two miles away from where he is standing at.
"I bet I can get the answers, while I fill up my hungry stomach. Strange? That sign wasn't there before." Sonic said, blasting through the morning breeze's day.
