A/N: So, I was thinking, "Cream doesn't have enough friends her own age". The solution? Send her to first grade! This takes place a year after the normal events of Sonic, so Cream is 7. I don't own Sonic or any other characters, but I do own Leaf, Snowflake, Melis, and Frosty. Snowflake and Frosty are 6 1/2, Leaf is 7, and so is Melis. Melis is supposed to be creepy, didn't you read the summary?
Cream cowered in the backseat of Vanilla's car. She looked down at her new clothes, smoothing out a fold in her skirt. "We're here." Vanilla parked the car close to the school and held Cream's hand as she walked her in. Cream looked into her classroom. There weren't that many kids in the classroom yet, so she thought she might have arrived early. She walked in and the teacher told her to sit down at a table. Cream picked a seat next to a girl who looked a little bit like Tails, but she wore dark blue blazer over a plain white office shirt, with a dark blue skirt, white socks, and black shoes. Cream turned to the two other girls at her table. "Is there a uniform here?" A pale green cat with brown eyes shook her head. "No, but Melis wears one everyday. It's creepy." Cream gave the fox next to her an odd look, but she didn't notice, so Cream introduced herself to the other kids at her table. "I'm Leaf." said the green cat. "I'm Snowflake, and over there is my twin brother Frosty." said a white rabbit with pale blue spots, pointing to a similar looking boy rabbit at another table. Melis suddenly turned to Cream. "I'm Melis." It was like the fox hadn't even noticed that Cream had already been told her name. She then turned back to her paper. "Oh, I almost forgot!" Snowflake passed Cream some papers that were stapled together. On the front was a back-to-school coloring page and a word search. "We're doing these papers." Leaf said. Cream grabbed a handful of crayons and began coloring the picture. For some odd reason, Melis was now fully aware of what was going on. She turned to Cream and spat, "The sky isn't orange." Cream looked down at her picture with the orange sky. "But it's supposed to be at sunset..." Cream explained. "But recess isn't at sunset." Melis said, pointing out that the picture did indeed portay kids at recess. Then the fox turned and didn't speak for the rest of class.
It was soon 12:00 and time for lunch. Cream, Leaf, Snowflake and Frosty all sat at the same table for lunch. Frosty pulled out a popsicle and and snapped in half, passing one side of it to Snowflake. "How do you keep that cold? Whenever I put my ice cream in my lunchbox, it always melts!" Leaf asked. Frosty smirked. "I'll never tell." "Please?" Leaf begged, and Cream and Snowflake giggled. "Nope!" Frosty laughed and bit into his popsicle. "Gah! My tooth!" He yelled. "So what? Teeth always hurt when you bite right into ice cream like that." Snowflake said. "But they were never wiggly!" Frosty wiggled the tooth a little. "Your tooth is loose!" Leaf said, pointing. "I've had lots of loose teeth!" The cat smiled, showing a gap in the front of her mouth where a tooth would normally be. "When I wiggled them enough, they fell out!" Frosty got a little scared. "Fell out? But how did you eat?" "They came back and they were all new and shiny, and I got money for putting the old teeth under my pillow!" "Money? Why?" "The tooth fairy really likes teeth, so when you leave your old ones under the pillow, she takes them and gives you money!" "So...you sell your teeth to the tooth fairy?" Frosty asked. "I guess it's kind of like that." Cream turned to Frosty. "Maybe you should go see the teacher." She said. Frosty nodded and ate very carefully for the rest of lunch.
At recess, Leaf looked up at the sky. "Y'know, Melis was right! The sky isn't orange at recess!" She joked. The others laughed.
