Hello! This is my first story, so go easy on me! It's a Sonic the Hedgehog version of The Wizard of Oz. Enjoy and review! Oh, and no flames please.

(I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog or The Wizard of Oz.)

A cream colored rabbit stood next to her chao, Cheese, as she waved her friends goodbye. Cream watched her older companions run down the street, going to Eggman's base once again. A pink hedgehog wearing a red dress stopped and turned. Cream smiled at Amy. Will she ask me to join? Cream thought.

"Sorry, Cream. It's too dangerous."

Of course it is.

"I should probably catch up with the others. See ya later, Cream!" Amy began to hurry back, only to find that her blue hero had stopped to join her. Giving Cream a smile and thumbs-up, Sonic picked up Amy bridle style and ran off. The rest of the gang had been a mile away. Amy had no chance of catching up. Cream was alone again. She sighed. It was sometimes upsetting whenever her friends left on an adventure. She was usually left behind. You're too young! They would say. Cream turned to her blue chao.

"I guess it's time to head back," she mumbled.

Cheese frowned and gave the sad rabbit a hug. Cream smiled a tiny smile.

"Thanks, Cheese. At least I know you won't leave me behind."

When Cream walked through the front door, dragging her feet, Vanilla knew something was wrong. She had been watching TV, so she turned the volume down and greeted her daughter.

"Hello, Cream! Would you like a snack?" Vanilla asked as Cream made her way over to the couch.

"…Okay…"

Vanilla walked into the kitchen and returned with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. She set the food down on the table in front of Cream then took a seat next to her.

"Everything alright?"

"Just great," the young rabbit replied, reaching for a cookie.

"Oh, come on, Cream," Vanilla nudged her daughter with her elbow. "I can tell something is bothering you."

Cream gave the chocolate chip cookie a little nibble before setting it back down on the plate. "They left, again," she murmured.

"They?"

"Sonic! Tails! Amy! All of them! They went on some adventure, leaving me out of all the fun."

Vanilla placed her hands on Cream's shoulders. "Don't worry. You'll get your turn," Vanilla said. Cream slowly nodded, blinking back tears. Just then, a tornado warning popped up on the TV. Vanilla turned the volume up to listen to the report, and then went to the window.

"Oh my! It's sure cloudy out there! Cream, get Cheese and we'll go to the cellar," Vanilla ordered. Cream scooped up Cheese (who had fallen asleep next to her) and followed her mother outside. The wind picked up the poor chao (now awake) and blew Cheese back inside. Vanilla ran to the side of the house, opened the cellar door, and climbed halfway in, finally realizing Cream was not behind her. She saw her daughter run back in the house, chasing her friend, right before the strong winds slammed the cellar door closed, knocking Vanilla inside. She struggled to open the entrance, only to hear a crash and find a tree now on top of the door.

Inside the house, Cream was able to catch the frightened Cheese.

"It's too risky to go outside now," the rabbit began, "Mom made it to the cellar, so we know she'll be alright. But what about us, Cheese? Is our house strong enough to survive through a tornado?"

Cream's eyes widened when she glanced out the window. There it was. The most terrifying tornado she had ever seen.

"Oh no! Let's go Cheese!" Cream held the chao close to her and hurried to her room. She sat down on her bed and felt the house shake.

"Did you feel that?" she asked Cheese. The house shook again and began to spin around as it rose into the air.

"What? This can't be happening!" Cream cried. The house continued to rise and spin. Cream laid down and a tear slid down her cheek. Soon, she was fast asleep.

Yay! The first chapter is done! And just so you know, I don't plan on including the songs. :D Please review! (Also: Is my formatting right?)
