Episode 2: Shining Through the Storm
The rabbit girl was just struggling to get the chastity belt off! She pulled and tugged but still nothing!
"Why won't it come off?!" she whined.
The rabbit's name was Cream, and as of recently, her life has taken a ride on the crazy train! A ghost girl named Maria had possessed her and she has no clue why!
"I already told you, it won't." a yellow ghost girl said with a shrug.
The yellow ghost girl was Maria. She was holding the pudding that Cream's new stepbrother, Shadow, had brought to Cream. She took up a spoonful and licked it with her tongue before popping it into her mouth. It was so delicious that she just threw her body back in happiness.
"This pudding that my Big Brother Shadow bought is the best!" she exclaimed happily.
Cream was getting a little uncomfortable with Maria's behavior, so she just ran up to her.
"Can't you eat it like a normal person?!" she asked.
"But this is pudding from my Big Brother Shadow!" Maria protested.
"Of course it's going to be delicious!" she added before popping another bite into her mouth.
Cream was still confused on why she kept calling him her 'big brother' when she was told he didn't have any siblings before her mom married his dad.
"You keep calling him your 'big brother' but I was told he was an only child." Cream explained.
"How are you related to him?" she inquired.
"More to the point; who are you?!" she asked the floating yellow hedgehog.
Being a little dramatic, Maria tumbled backwards when Cream had yelled out all those questions.
"If you're a ghost, then cross over to the other side already!" the rabbit commanded.
"There are a few conditions I have to meet before I can cross over…" Maria explained as she flew closer to Cream's face.
"Conditions?" Cream wondered.
"Yes." Maria nodded.
"That's why I needed to possess your body." she added, poking Cream's left breast lightly.
Cream flinched.
"But you're so stubborn, that you keep on popping back in!" Maria added in protest, reaching around and lightly touching Cream's rear.
"No!" Cream flinched again, and fell down.
"So, change of plan!" Maria announced.
"Cream!" she stated, "You're going to cooperate with me!"
Cream was confused again.
"Cooperate?" she wondered looking up at the yellow hedgehog girl.
"Space between times…" she called out raising her hand to the ceiling.
"Reveal yourself in front of me!" she announced.
There seemed to be an echo when she announced the last part. Suddenly, there was a light above Maria's hand, and sparkles surrounded both her and Cream.
Cream got a little freaked out!
"What is this?!" she shouted in fear, "What's going on?!"
In a flash of blinding light, they were no longer in Cream's room. Cream uncovered her eyes. She saw a wide open space of black that had clouds, and way above them was a glowing yellow gate surrounded by clouds, and they were sitting on a green glowing step. Was this… heaven? Cream freaked out!
"EEEEEEEHHHHH?!"
She looked down from the step that she resided on only to see a dark abyss.
"Is this place…?" she wondered.
Then she brought her head up to look at the gate.
"Did I… die?" she asked herself.
She was trembling in fear. She wondered if she would ever see her mother again.
"You're not dead yet..." Maria whispered to the trembling rabbit.
"Huh?" Cream wondered, calming down a bit.
"I'm the only one here who's dead..." the winged hedgehog girl sighed in a sad voice, placing a hand to her heart.
This girl was dead? What was going on here?
"I was run over by a truck in that intersection, and died before I could run home and confess my love to Big Brother Shadow..." she explained sadly.
So that's what happened? Now Cream felt really bad for Maria. Sure, she was a little perverted towards her and possessed her, but even so… She had feelings too… Maybe…
"At least I think I was..." she added looking upwards.
Cream's face turned blank.
"I can't remember..." she shrugged, "Come to think of it, I don't have any memories after that."
"I only remember that I loved my Big Brother Shadow." the blonde said with a smile and a blush in memory of the ebony and crimson male.
"Then I woke up, and I was… well, here." Maria shrugged, "But, that's all I know."
Cream looked the other way.
"So, I don't know what kind of relationship I had with my Big Brother Shadow…" Maria added.
Basically what she was saying is that when she died, her mind pretty much got wiped clean of most of her memories.
"I'm sure that must be very hard for you…" Cream murmured, feeling a little sorry for the poor girl.
Maria gasped and turned around.
"You think so?" she asked, gently pinning Cream down by her shoulders, "You think so, right?"
"Y-Yeah…" Cream answered, looking the other way flustered.
"You'll help me then, right?" Maria asked again even more eager.
"Huh? Help you?" the rabbit wondered.
Maria stood back up.
"Hey! I'm going to have this girl here help me out!" she called up to the gate, "Is that okay?"
Cream looked up at the gate confused. Just who was Maria talking to, and what did she mean by having Cream help her out? There was a small portion of silence. Suddenly, Maria snapped her fingers.
"All right!" she exclaimed, "They said it's okay!"
Cream raised an eyebrow.
"What's okay?" she asked the winged girl who just turned to her.
"People like me who couldn't completely die have to go through the Gate of Heaven in order to pass on." Maria explained, pointing to the gate that was high above them.
"Can't you just fly up there?" Cream asked.
"No." Maria shook her head to the brown eyed rabbit.
"I have to climb these steps to reach the gate." she explained.
"This is the step we just built." Maria said, pointing to the green glowing step in front of the one Cream was sitting on.
"Built?" Cream asked, "What do you mean built?"
Maria knelt down in front of Cream.
"Look at the heart on your chastity belt." she commanded.
Cream did as she was told, and lifted up her skirt. She only just now saw the heart gauge that resided on the belt portion of the chastity belt, and that it was filled with a little bit of pink liquid.
"That gauge represents how satisfied I am with my love. The reason I can't cross over, is because there are all kinds of things I wanted to do with Big Brother Shadow." Maria explained, flying back and forth.
"I want to do all the things that lovers do together." she said, "When I feel satisfied doing those things, power collects in the gauge, and each time it fills up more, another step is added."
Cream looked up at Maria.
"So, in other words, you just have to let me possess your body so I can do lovey-dovey stuff with my Big Brother Shadow!" Maria announced, gesturing to Cream.
"Lovey-dovey stuff?" Cream was confused, "What do you mean by that?"
Maria smiled. "Things like…" she began.
"Kissing!"
"Dating!"
"And sex!"
Cream's face was red as tabasco sauce, especially after hearing the word 'sex.' No way in hell was she gonna wanna do all that stuff! She stood up abruptly.
"Are you an idiot?!" she snapped, "Why do I have to do all that stuff?!"
Maria was just floating with her legs criss-crossed.
"And besides…" the cream-coloured rabbit began, "We're siblings now. I couldn't possibly…" she turned her head in embarrassment.
Maria sighed and stood on the step with Cream.
"But, if I don't cross over… then you're stuck with that for life." the blue eyed girl said, pointing to Cream's skirt under which the chastity belt resided.
Cream sighed and closed her eyes halfway. It's true that she didn't want to be stuck with a freaking chastity belt for life, but she couldn't kiss, date, or even have sex with her brother! Even if he was her stepbrother!
"So, I'm counting on you, Cream!" Maria said with a smile, gesturing her hand out to Cream.
She really didn't get it, did she?!
"No, no, no!" Cream said rapidly, shaking her head over and over again.
"You can ask all you want, but there's no way~!" she shouted as loud as she could.
Suddenly, Cream woke up in her own bed! She was panting immensely. She looked around. Was it all just a dream? Was there even a ghost girl named Maria? She didn't have to do that with her new stepbrother, did she? She closed her eyes in relief.
"How much of that… was a dream?" the orange-brunette asked herself looking to the right.
There, she was greeted by Maria's blue eyes and smiling face.
"Good morning!" the blonde angel greeted innocently.
Cream was surprised and sharply sat up in her bed in shock. Maria was laying in the bed with her and was holding her head up with her hand, while her elbow was resting on the mattress.
"Did you have a dirty dream?" Maria asked with a smirk and a blush.
Cream sighed. Looks like everything was real after all. Looks like she really did have to help Maria out with getting all 'lovey-dovey' with Shadow in order for her to cross over to heaven.
Later… At the breakfast table
Cream, Shadow, and Vanilla were sitting at the table eating their breakfast. This time it was pancakes, bacon, and based and soft eggs. Vector had already gone to India, so he was absent. Shadow had just finished his egg when he looked over at Vanilla who was drinking her coffee.
"Vanilla-san, what time's your flight today?" the ebony hedgehog asked.
"Just after four this afternoon, I think." the lady rabbit replied setting the mug down.
"When you arrive, could you say hi to Dad for me?" Shadow asked.
"Sure, I'll even give you a call." Vanilla nodded in response.
Cream stared at her mom silently and wiped her face.
"Thanks for the meal." she said silently, and stood up from her chair. She picked up her school bag which resided on the couch, and put her blue scarf on.
(A/N: In the anime, Mitsuki's scarf was actually red)
"Cream!" Vanilla called, standing up in her chair.
"I'm heading out." she simply replied.
"Shadow-kun, can you excuse me for just a moment, please?" Vanilla excused herself from the table.
"Oh, sure." ebony replied.
Vanilla quickly followed Cream down the hall. Cream was removing her slippers and was now getting her shoes on. She tapped them against the small step to make sure they were on. When Vanilla had caught up with her daughter, she tried talking with her.
"Cream, listen…" Vanilla tried saying, but Cream just started walking towards the door.
Vanilla sighed. She wondered why her daughter was always like this? Cream opened the door.
"Have a safe trip." the rabbit said before heading out.
Shadow had heard all of this, and was leaning against the door.
Outside, Cream had started walking and was joined by Maria. Maria was going to be accompanying Cream wherever she went for the time she was there.
"Are you sure about this?" the angel inquired to the rabbit as she floated beside her.
"Your mom is going far away, isn't she?" she asked.
Cream didn't respond, and just kept walking.
Later...At School…
In the 2nd year student's classroom, it was almost empty, except for three students: Shadow, Sonic, and Blaze. Shadow was leaning his face into his hand with his elbow resting on the desktop. Blaze was reading the same book that she always did. Sonic was getting his gym bag ready.
"Hey, Shadow!" Sonic called, walking up to the crimson eyed hedgehog, "Gym's up next. Let's go!"
"Okay…" Shadow simply replied to azure.
Blaze glanced at the two hedgehogs.
In the Girls' changing room…
All the first year girls were changing into their gym uniforms and chattering with each other. Amy was just opening her locker.
"Hey, have you seen Cream?" she asked another student with green hair and blue eyes.
"I just saw her leaving the classroom." the green haired seedrian explained as Amy put her bag into her locker.
"Oh, she must've gotten changed first then." the pink hedgehog nodded, starting to unbutton her uniform.
Little did they know that Cream was actually changing in a bathroom stall.
"Why are you changing in here?" Maria asked the hustling rabbit.
"Because, if anyone sees this, I'll never live it down." Cream explained as she removed her skirt.
"Oh, yeah." Maria responded, criss-crossing her legs.
Maria was sitting on top of the wall of the stall watching the rabbit.
"Well, you'll get used to it over time." the blonde angel remarked, "I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."
"The hang of what, exactly?" Cream asked as she slid her sleeve into her tracksuit.
"It's like wearing glasses." Maria explained as she floated down beside Cream who was zipping up her tracksuit, "It'll become part of your body."
"But I've never worn glasses." Cream said back, looking at Maria.
Maria slightly gasped.
"Though, if you can only take it off for three minutes, that could make having sex with him pretty difficult…" she said, placing a hand to her chin.
"You idiot!" Cream snapped as she turned her head to look at the ghost girl, blushing immensely.
That's not the subject to bring up right now! Soon, Cream was ready for gym class. Her hair was down in pigtails like it was before, and her school uniform was in her gym bag. She exited the stall and groaned. Maria went through the wall halfway and stared at Cream.
"Why is she so irritable?" she asked herself.
As she exited the girls restroom, she saw Amy outside heading to gym class.
"Oh, Cream!" she called out.
"Amy…" Cream answered back to the jade eyed hedgehog girl.
"I thought you'd gone ahead?" Amy wondered as she approached Cream.
"Oh, sorry." the orange-brunette apologized.
Amy looked down at the lime green bag in Cream's hand.
"Huh? Is that your uniform?" she inquired.
Cream looked down at the bag.
"Uh, uhm…" she stuttered.
"I wasn't thinking…" she lied nervously.
"I'll go put it back in the changing room." she said with a wary smile.
She started to walk towards the girls' changing room.
"Why not just leave it in your shoe locker?" Amy suggested.
Cream halted in her tracks.
"I guess that works too." she agreed.
Soon, both girls were heading outside to the field.
"Today's the 100 meter dash." Amy said with a smile, "I'm kinda excited!"
Little did Ayaka know, Maria was floating right above both her and Cream. Cream knew that Maria was there, though. Only Cream could see Maria. Maria had a bored look on her face.
"Man, this is so boring." she whined.
"I wanna hurry and go home, so I can get all lovey-dovey with Big Brother!" the angel girl whined even louder as she hugged her knees and started to roll around all over.
"I can't even be with him at school!" she added, slinking around dramatically like a snake.
"Can you keep quiet for a bit?" Cream said to Maria in her mind, watching the blonde girl.
(A/N: In the anime, Mitsuki and Hiyori can communicate with each other through their minds, so when you see things with quotation marks that are written in italics like this then that means that they're communicating through their minds)
"I know it's not even that important, but the 100 meter dash is kinda nerve-wracking, huh?" Amy asked Cream as they both headed down the stairs.
"I'd call it more annoying than nerve-wracking." Cream replied with a wary smile.
Suddenly, Amy noticed Sonic and Shadow walking down the hall talking.
"Oh! The second year boys have gym next too, don't they?" the pink hedgehog wondered.
Cream saw Shadow and Sonic way before Amy did, so she quickly put on her cold expression. When they got to the bottom of the stairs, both hedgehogs noticed them. Shadow looked at Cream.
"Cream." he simply said.
Cream didn't wanna make any contact with Shadow, so she just ran ahead. Amy wondered what that was all about and followed the rabbit.
"Hey, Cream!" the pink female hedgehog called out after her.
Sonic blushed.
"Ah, Cream-chan sure is cute!" the azure hedgehog sighed in a happy tone.
Shadow just stared.
Later, Amy and Cream were in the shoe locker room getting their shoes on. Amy was still curious on why Cream ran off like that when she saw Shadow.
"What's wrong?" she asked, "Someone you know?"
Cream didn't answer, she just slipped her shoes on and kept hanging her head low.
Outside on the Field…
"Ready… set… Go!" the coach called out, and the girls were running.
Cream was sitting with her class waiting her turn for the 100 meter dash.
"Yay! We're in the same class as my Big Brother Shadow!" a happy Maria exclaimed, "Lucky! Lucky!"
Cream didn't respond.
"What's so great about having gym in winter?" she groaned.
"Cream, do you hate gym?" Maria asked.
"I'm no good at it, I'm slow." the rabbit replied.
"I liked it, though." Maria stated, "I used to be fast."
"So, you remember that?" Cream asked.
Maria put her hand to her chin.
"At least I think I was…" the blonde hedgehog girl said, "It's more of a feeling than a memory."
"What the heck?" Cream questioned.
"Next up, Cream-san and Cosmo-san." the teacher announced.
"Yes!" Cosmo replied.
Cosmo was the green haired, blue eyed seedrian that Amy was talking to earlier. She stood up and ran to the starting line. Cream was still 'in her own little world' so she didn't quite hear the teacher. The teacher walked up to Cream and looked down at her.
"Cream-san?" she repeated.
This time, Cream heard the teacher and stood up.
"Yes." she simply answered.
She slowly made her way to the starting line. Maria hung upside down, her face in front of Cream's. She had the biggest grin on her face.
"Hey, Cream!" the blonde said, "Let me take over for the 100 meter dash!"
Why did she want to take over?
"Why?" Cream asked. Maria just smirked.
Cream didn't know how she let Maria talk her into letting the blonde angel girl possess her body for the 100 meter dash, but she did. Maria walked up to the starting line next to Cosmo, preparing herself to run.
"On your marks… Get set... " the teacher began as Maria reared herself into the starting position.
"Go!" she said at last.
The two girls went dashing off! Maria was certainly faster than Cosmo, her speed amazed everyone! She had reached the finish line way before Cosmo had.
"Goal!" she cheered out, waving her arm up in victory.
Everyone practically applauded for her! Cosmo had just reached the finish line and was puffing and panting.
"Wow! You're really fast!" the green haired girl gasped out.
"I know." Maria answered back with a proud smile.
"Cream-san! That was twelve seconds flat!" the teacher complimented.
Maria had started to walk back to where Cream's class was sitting when she saw that the second year boys were watching her.
"Wow! Cream-chan is really fast!" Sonic exclaimed with a small laugh.
"She is?" Shadow wondered as he watched the cream-coloured rabbit walk across the field.
Maria noticed Shadow and turned her head towards him with a smirk on her face.
"He's watching! He's watching!" she said in her mind.
Cream had witnessed the whole thing and was flying above Maria watching her.
"Hey, isn't this cheating?" she inquired to Maria.
"In order to boost his affections for us, we have to let him see our good sides." Maria explained to the rabbit.
"I don't care about his affections for me!" Cream said in protest.
It's not like she hated Shadow, but she really didn't want much of anything to do with him.
"Well, I need him to fall in love with me!" Maria said back, stopping in her tracks.
"There's also something I forgot to tell you about the chastity belt." she added.
"Huh?" Cream wondered.
"If you do nothing to get lovey-dovey with our brother, then the satisfaction level steadily drops…" Maria explained.
"So?" Cream said as if it didn't bother her.
"Well, once it drops below a certain point, you'll fall from those steps too and you'll die!" she added with a smile.
Cream gasped. What the heck was wrong with this girl? She never said that she was gonna die!
"What?! You never told me that!" Cream said angrily, flying closer to Maria's face.
"It was a difficult subject to bring up…" Maria murmured, glancing the other way. "Well, that's how it works, anyway!"
She left Cream's body.
Finding herself back in her own body, Cream was shaking in fear.
"No way…" she whispered looking down at her hands.
"I'll die?" she asked herself.
She had gotten back to where her class was sitting when she was greeted by an optimistic Amy.
"Cream, that was amazing!" she complimented, "You should totally try out for the track team!"
Cream was still scared by the fact that she was probably gonna die.
"Cream? Are you okay?" Amy asked the shaking little rabbit.
'I'm going to… die?' she repeated in her mind once again.
Suddenly, she felt an uncomfortable sensation jolt upwards through her body!
'Oh no! That shocked me so much!' she thought in fear. 'I have to use the restroom!'
She the started to squirm around.
"Cream-san, you're so amazing!"
"Totally changed my opinion of her!
"Wow!" the cheers kept on coming.
Cream looked around very confused.
'Why am I getting all this attention?' the orange-brunette wondered in her mind, looking around at the cheering students.
'Even worse, I have to use the restroom and I can't ask the teacher with everyone watching me like this!' she thought as she squirmed even more, holding her crotch.
'W-What should I do?' she cried in her mind, 'No!'
She closed her eyes tightly. Maria, secretly caring about Cream's wellbeing, decided to do something about it!
"Comin' in!" the blonde angel announced, flying into Cream's body.
Standing up straighter, she raised her hand as high as she could.
"Mina-sensei! I'm getting a chill, so, may I please use the restroom?" she asked right in front of everyone.
"S-sure…" Mina replied, embarrassed by the sudden question.
Everyone silently murmured about Cream's sudden question. Nevertheless, Cream got back into her body, and headed to the restroom as quickly as she could. As she ran across the field, Shadow noticed her and wondered why she was heading in even before class was done.
In the shoe locker room…
Cream was still upset with Maria and how she just did that without warning.
"Why did you have to go and say that in front of everyone, you idiot?!" Cream scolded to Maria as she put her gym shoes into the locker.
Maria was just floating upside down.
"It's better than wetting yourself, right?" the blonde angel said with a nervous smile.
"You could've just went up to the teacher and asked her quietly!" Cream said, her eyebrows twitching.
"Don't worry! Don't worry!" Maria assured, turning herself rightside up, "None of the boys could hear us!"
"That's not the issue here!" Cream sighed out.
"Hey, are you alright?" a boy's voice asked.
Both girls turned around, only to see Shadow! What was he doing in here?
"Are you okay?" he asked, "you just left so suddenly, and you looked a little pale."
Cream just stared at the ebony hedgehog.
"Uh… uhm…" the brown eyed rabbit stammered.
Maria flew next to Cream and blushed at the sight of her beloved brother, and covered her mouth with her hands.
"I saw you come in here, and I said I was going to come and check on you." Shadow explained.
Maria's eyes got all starry and bubbly at that, and her face flushed a little.
"So that means…" she whispered.
"KYAAA! He was worried about you!" she exclaimed happily, flapping her arms like a duck.
Shadow walked closer to Cream.
(A/N: Remember! Only Cream can see Maria!)
Maria may have loved Shadow, but apparently she wanted Cream to fall in love with him too.
"That's not the problem here!" Cream said, squirming again.
"It's nothing…I'm fine…" she stuttered, turning around slowly and shakily.
Suddenly, Shadow grabbed ahold of Cream's hand!
"But you're not, are you?" the ebony hedgehog asked concerned.
"If something's wrong, then just say so!" Shadow commanded.
Cream turned her head and looked at Shadow.
"You don't have to hold anything back around me, or bottle it all up!" Shadow said in persistent voice.
"We're both living under the same roof now, so, if something's bothering you, I want you to just say so!" he added, leaning his face closer to Cream's own.
Cream stared in astonishment at the ebony and crimson male. Why was he being so nice and brotherly to her, when she has been giving him the cold shoulder ever since they met? Suddenly, Shadow started walking with Cream.
"H-Hey-" Cream stammered in confusion.
"C'mon, I'm taking you to the nurse's office." ebony explained, dragging the rabbit along.
"I told, I'm fine! I'll go by mysel-" Cream tried reasoning with Shadow, but he just kept on walking.
Cream buried her head into the neck cuff of her track suit, her cheeks burning with heat.
'N-no!' she thought in embarrassment and fear.
She had to get to the bathroom before she wet herself!
Soon…
Shadow had dropped Cream off in a bed at the nurse's office.
"Just wait there." he commanded, "I'll go get the nurse."
And with that, he closed the curtain, and left the shaking rabbit on the bed. Cream was panting, sitting in a dog-like position with her feet out to the side, and her eyes were bubbly in fear of wetting herself.
(A/N: Insert dramatic music here)
She flinched and closed her eyes.
'If I move even one step, I'll wet myself!' the cream coloured rabbit cried in her mind.
Meanwhile, Shadow was talking to the nurse.
'I can't wet myself at my age!' she added to her thoughts.
Her feet were twitching, she had tears in her eyes, and her hands were in fists as she gripped the covers. She hung her head and her eyes shrunk.
'What should I do?!' she thought.
"Cream!" Maria called out, flying closer to her.
"There! In that!" she commanded, pointing to a flower vase that was sitting on the counter next to the bed. Cream eyed the vase.
"Hurry up!" Maria commanded as if it was in slow motion.
(A/N: It was in slow motion is the anime)
"The flower vase? B-but-" she stammered.
"Ah! I can't hold it in anymore!" she shouted.
Without a second to waste, Cream sat up, and pulled down her pants.
"There's no choice!" she exclaimed as she pressed the heart gauge on the chastity belt, making the crotch part recede into the belt.
However, just as she was grabbing the vase, the curtain slid open!
"Cream! I brought the nur-!" Shadow's voice announced, but he was immediately halted when he saw Cream… not… wearing any… bottom things… so he saw her… you-know-what… His face was extremely flushed, his eyes shrunk in disbelief, and his eyebrows were twitching. Cream was extremely embarrassed too, so embarrassed that she couldn't move.
"No…" she whispered.
Nurse Hershey had just arrived when she saw everything as well.
"Oh my…" she said in shock, covering Shadow's eyes.
Cream flinched again.
"NO~!" she yelled out as loud as she could.
Outside, a fountain started spurting water. At the same time, it had happened… Cream had wet herself…
(A/N: Insert sad piano tune from the anime here)
Later…
Cream had been sent home early after she had cleaned herself up. All the way home, Cream was walking as slow as she could, sobbing and sniffling.
"That was horrible!" she sniffled, "Horrible!"
Maria was floating on her back behind Cream.
"It's alright. A lady nurse isn't going to tell anyone." the blonde girl assured the sobbing rabbit,
"And our brother didn't see your chastity belt!"
"But he saw everything else down there…" Cream sobbed back.
Meanwhile…
Shadow was at the store buying things for dinner. He looked at some eggs. "Mommy! Pee-pee!" a small boy bee child cried out, running around the store.
(A/N: in the anime, the child was a little girl named Mei)
"Mommy! Where are you?" the small boy called out again.
Shadow's face was still flushed from the incident earlier at school.
'That… wasn't what it looked like, right?' he thought, thinking back to seeing Cream.
"It looked like she wasn't wearing any panties…" he whispered.
"What am I even thinking?!" ebony scolded to himself, smacking himself in the face lightly.
Shadow didn't know why it was still on his mind, because he had told himself to forget about it, but it just wasn't working!
The small bee boy was still looking for his mommy.
"Charmy-kun!" a woman's voice called. Charmy, the bee, saw his mommy and smiled.
"Mommy!" he exclaimed, running to his mother.
Charmy wasn't looking where he was running, and accidentally bumped into Shadow. Shadow lost his footing and slipped, tripped, and accidentally fell on the egg's, cracking them. He groaned as the yolks stained his uniform.
Later, Shadow was walking home, and it was pretty damn embarrassing to walk out in public with egg stains on your uniform. He saw a purple cat sitting on a bench in a phone booth reading a book.
"Oh, Blaze." he greeted the amber eyed cat.
Blaze looked up from her book and at Shadow.
"Oh, hello, Shadow." she greeted flatly.
"Just finished shopping?" she inquired.
"Yeah, I figured I'd start making dinner tonight for starters." the ebony and crimson hedgehog replied, holding up his groceries.
"Ah, I see. Tonight's your first night." Blaze nodded.
"Is that why your clothes are stained with drool?" she inquired, closing her eyes.
Shadow blushed.
"It's not drool!" he yelled in embarrassment.
Meanwhile… with Cream and Maria…
Cream was still stalling to get back home.
"Come on! Stop ambling all the way." Maria complained, flying around, "Let's just get back home."
Cream was still upset about what had happened earlier, and Maria just wanted to get back home. But could she blame her for feeling embarrassed for what happened earlier? No, not really.
"How can I go home after what happened?" Cream asked in a sad voice, "How am I supposed to face him?"
Cream had just gotten to the intersection.
"I just wanna die!" she flinched.
There was a small silence between them. Maria frowned slightly at the rabbit in confusion.
"Then, why don't you?" the angel asked the rabbit.
Cream halted when Maria had made that remark, and looked up at her. Maria flew down a little.
"This is the perfect spot. You could die here too, Cream… You'd be just like me..." she whispered, gesturing to the street where many cars were zooming along.
Cream didn''t answer. Maria closed her eyes and cupped Cream's face.
"Our brother was worried about you…" the blue eyed angel whispered to the brown eyed rabbit,
"I'm so jealous…" she added.
Cream just stared at Maria with her eyes half open. Her cheeks burned with heat. Why was she so jealous of her? Whatever she meant, Cream now realized that she didn't really wanna die.
"I'm sorry…" she whispered to Maria.
*Honk Honk!*
Cream turned her head and saw a lime green Prius in the intersection.
"Hey, Cream-chan! Heading home?" a woman's voice called from the vehicle.
Cream saw a lady fox with red fur, blue eyes, brown hair with three bangs in it, and she was wearing a jumpsuit, and black leather fingerless gloves.
"Aunt Fiona." Cream greeted.
(A/N: Original Character: Nanami Akasaka)
Soon, Cream was being given a ride home by Fiona. Cream was leaning her head to the side a bit, looking out the window.
"My sister's been worried about you this whole time, you know." Fiona spoke up.
Cream didn't answer.
"I mean, it was just you and her for so long, and so much happened…" the scarlet fox said with an awkward smile.
"How's everything going with your brother?" Fiona asked, "Are you two getting along?"
Cream opened her eyes and looked out the window.
"I don't know…" the cream-coloured rabbit replied silently.
They had just pulled up to Cream's house, when Fiona saw a big moving truck moving things into the house next door.
"Huh? I wonder if anyone is moving in next door?" Fiona wondered.
Cream opened her eyes again and looked up. Who could be moving in? Dropping Cream off at home, Fiona bid farewell to her niece. Cream thanked her for the ride and went inside. Closing the door, Cream noticed Shadow's shoes on the floor.
'He's already home?' she wondered in her mind.
She removed her shoes and set them next to Shadow's, but then, she heard a rattling noise. Cream turned her head.
"What's that noise?" the orange-brunette wondered.
Walking closer to where the noise was coming from, Cream saw that it was coming from the bathroom. She opened the door curiously. Suddenly, she saw something she wish she hadn't. Shadow. The ebony and crimson hedgehog was standing there, with a towel around his neck, dripping wet, and was… completely.. naked…
Cream's eyes shrunk, and she blushed, and so did Shadow. After a second or two of staring at each other, Shadow reacted, and so did Cream!
"Woah! You surprised me!" ebony shouted, covering himself up with his arm and hands.
"W-what are you doing with no clothes on?! IDIOT~!" Cream yelled loudly as she ran up the stairs to her room, leaving Shadow awestruck.
"B-But this is the bath…" he stuttered to himself, "And I'm the one who got seen naked…"
Later, Shadow had been wearing clothes and a chef's apron and was making dinner. He just finished cooking the hamburger meat.
"All right!" he congratulated himself quietly.
Dinner tonight was hamburger gravy.
(A/N: One of my favourite meals! It's hamburger meat mixed into mashed potatoes and has gravy on top of it! That's not what the original meal was in the anime, but I just thought it'd be delicious!)
He went up to Cream's room and knocked on the door.
"Dinner's ready!" Shadow called.
"I'll eat later." Cream replied back.
Shadow sighed. This was probably how it was going to be for as long as they were alone in the house. Cream was probably not going to wanna eat meals with him regularly, and Shadow figured it was probably because of the two incidents that happened today. He walked downstairs to eat dinner.
Meanwhile, Cream was sitting in her room alone, in the dark.
*Ringtone*
Cream went over to her desk and got her iPhone 5. She saw that Amy was calling her and answered.
"Hello, Amy?" the orange-brunette answered, placing the phone to her ear.
"Hi, Cream!" Amy greeted cheerfully.
"I heard that you went home early today, are you alright?" she asked.
"Oh, I'm fine." Cream assured.
"I just… wasn't feeling well…" she lied. "Oh, I see." Amy replied.
"Hey, if you want some health advice, you watch those sideshow shorts on Disney Junior. You know, the one where the mom makes all those tasty and healthy snacks and meals out of healthy ingredients. Vitamin..." Amy started to explain.
(A/N: I altered what the original character, Ayaka, says in the anime just a little bit)
Back with Shadow, the ebony male was eating the hamburger gravy he had made and surprisingly, it was absolutely delicious! He had his iPhone 5 next to him.
*MMM! MMM!*
His phone vibrated, signaling that he had gotten a message. He set his silverware down and picked up his phone.
He opened up his inbox, and saw that he had gotten an email from someone with the email address: treasurehunter8 , that read, "It's been a long time, hasn't it?"
Shadow was curious and wondered whom it was from.
Cream had decided to take a bath, so she went into the bathroom. Her hair was in a ponytail so she wouldn't get her hair wet just yet. Maria followed after her.
"Can't you try to get along with him better?" the blonde angel inquired to the orange-brunette rabbit who was removing her clothes.
"I can be fine without getting along with him, right?" Cream asked in response, starting to get into the warm water.
"Well, that may be so, but do you really wanna die?" Maria asked.
Cream halted for a second upon hearing that, but then continued to sit down in the water. She sighed.
"You may say that… But, I can't change how I feel that easily." she stated, putting her arms into the warm water.
Maria criss-crossed her legs and pouted.
"I do feel sorry for you, being at the mercy of your mother's whims." the angel replied.
In a puff of smoke, she was now completely naked, and her hair was held in pigtails by two ruffled sky blue hair ties.
(A/N: In the anime, that made Hiyori look so kawaii! Also, the hair ties were lime green.)
Her breasts were clearly C-cup.
"I feel more like it's your whims I'm at the mercy of now." Cream said, glaring at the naked ghost girl.
She thought back to what Shadow had said to her earlier at school.
"We're both living under the same roof now, so you don't need to hold back or bottle it up!"
A warm sensation jolted through her heart, making her face glow with warmth, and her eyes bubble. She couldn't help but secretly feel touched by the ebony hedgehog's brotherly words. Maria got into the water with Cream, seductively moving next to her.
"Oh, what's that?" she asked in a seductive voice, "Cream, did your heart just ache for him?"
Cream turned her head away in embarrassment, but her cheeks still burned.
"N-no! Of course not!" the cream-coloured rabbit denied.
"Oh, c'mon… It's because you saw his you-know-what earlier, right?" Maria pressed further, getting excited.
"How dirty!" the blonde angel exclaimed with a smirk, fussing around with Cream.
"I-It's only because you're reacting to him!" Cream shouted in protest as some water spilled out of the tub.
Taking Cream's hands, she made her touch and fondle her own breasts.
"If you fondle your breasts while you're aroused like this, then they might grow bigger." Maria whispered into Cream's ear, licking it.
Cream tried to control her moans, but failed.
(A/N: Textbox time again!)
Maria presses herself against Cream. (Satisfaction level: 20%)
She continues the kiss as Cream's resistance drains from her. (Satisfaction level: 40%)
The fingers caress her butt, sliding between her legs. (Satisfaction level: 80%)
Cream is quite responsive. Does "No, no, no" really mean "Yes"? (Satisfaction level: 100%)
"You know, most girls do this while they're thinking about a guy. So, there's no need to be embarrassed…" Maria whispered.
Cream couldn't help but think of Shadow for one brief second. She saw his face as she flinched, tears coming from her eyes. Again, her powerful oragsm was too much! She lifted her twitching leg in the air as she came.
Soon, Cream was still exhausted, so she was hanging over the side of the bathtub slightly. Meanwhile, Maria was sitting on the shower chair washing her arms and legs.
(A/N: Readers: A ghost washing herself?! Me: Yeah, I know this makes no f***ing sense!)
"I know you say that girls do this, but I don't think they do…" Cream sighed out.
"I'd say about 50% percent of them do." Maria argued, lifting her leg up and washing it.
"For example, that girl, Amy was her name?" Maria started.
"I bet she does it almost daily!" the blonde angel exclaimed.
Cream blushed furiously, though briefly imagining Amy doing it.
"N-No! Amy's not like that! She would never-!" the brown-eyed rabbit stuttered furiously.
"I'm getting out!" Cream said, fed up with Maria.
She stepped out of the water, grabbed a towel, and headed for the door.
"It's fine, Cream." Maria assured, "You should really try better to understand how a girl handles herself."
Cream tried opening the door, but… it didn't work? The door was stuck!
"What? It's not opening?" Cream wondered, "Don't tell me… We're trapped in here?!"
Outside the bathroom, Shadow heard the rattling noises and went to investigate.
"Cream? Are you stuck in there?" he asked.
"Sorry about that, the door gets stuck. I was going to have someone come by and fix it, but I forgot." the ebony and crimson hedgehog explained, "I kinda got trapped in there earlier when i had my bath."
'So that's what that rattling noise was earlier…' Cream thought, blushing.
"I'll just open it a tiny bit, you can come out later." Shadow said.
"Don't look at me!" Cream snapped, making ebony blush.
"Why would I?" he asked, confused.
Upon hearing that, Maria got a dirty idea and smirked with her tongue curled up beside her lip.
"Okay, I'm opening it now…" Shadow warned, looking away so he wouldn't see Cream and make her upset.
He slowly opened the door a crack. When he had done that, Maria took action.
"Comin' in!" she announced, possessing Cream, throwing her out.
Maria tossed her towel aside and suddenly grabbed Shadow's sweater sleeve! Shadow was shocked by the sudden action! Maria pulled Shadow in and slammed the door shut, hoping to do some ecchi stuff with her big brother.
(A/N: Ecchi means perverted, lewd, or sexy)
Cream couldn't believe what Maria had just done!
"What do you think you're doing?!" she snapped, flying back to her body.
When she got back into her body, she immediately jumped back into the tub, covering herself with her arms, and blushing madly. Maria flew next to Cream with a whiny look on her face. Shadow was extremely, utterly, and undeniably embarrassed! He had his back against the tiled wall, his mouth gaped, and his cheeks flushed! His head twitched slightly towards Cream, but then away from her. Back and forth his vision went!
"H-How could you come in here now?!" Cream snapped, "Pervert!"
Shadow was confused.
"W-wait! Didn't you just pull me in?" the crimson-eyed male stuttered the questions.
Cream flinched in embarrassment. She knew that she (well, technically Maria) had pulled him in, but she was far too embarrassed to admit it. So she decided to keep thinking he was the pervert! Shadow didn't have the guts to argue with Cream, so he just decided to try and get out before he got anymore flustered. But, when he tried, the door was still stuck, so they were trapped in the bathroom… together… alone…
"It's no good. It's stuck again..." Shadow sighed out.
Maria was just acting all fangirl-like knowing the fact that she, Cream, and her big brother were in the bathroom together!
"KYAA! KYAA!" was all she was saying at this point.
Cream meanwhile, was still flustered at the fact that she was trapped in a bathroom naked with a boy!
'W-what should I do?' the cream-coloured rabbit wondered in her mind.
What was poor little Cream going to do at this point? What was she going to do?
To be continued…
I'm so glad I got this episode done! I know you were all waiting eagerly to see what would happen after Cream had met Maria, and why she was there! *sighs out exhausted*
Again! I do not own anything! Also, I used some lines from the manga!
Cream: I'm impressed! You actually didn't take that long to get this one done.
Thanks, Cream-chan!
Cream: Though, I do have to ask… Why ShadEam?
Because, you two are soooo cute together!
