Cream POV

Where was Sonicu and Amy? They should be here by now. Oh, well.

"KNOCK KNOCK! Anybody home?" Knuckles was here? He might know a game to play to pass the time. I go over to the door, and open it up. 'Robotnik! Welcome again! Come in, come in! Tails! Did you bring the little soldier? Hi, Mister Knuckles! Ooh, who's your new friend?'

The girl looked about my and Tails's age, but something about her made her seem older. Maybe it was the snow jacket she was wearing? It looked heavy, and older creatures are supposed to have more strength. Did she have a Chao? I told Cheese to check, but they said I should ask first. So I did!

'Hey, miss. Do you have a Chao?' She tilted her head. She started talking, but she was speaking some other speech. Knuckles started to talk. 'Just how many of you personally know Egghead?'

'Oh, just Tails, Cream and Cheese, my robots, this girl, Sonic, I think, and my pet rock. Oh, and I continually 'attack' the city because I have to in order to create some of the Chaos that the Chaos beings use. You know, to an outsider of the situation like Vixen or Knuckles here, this probably is not making any sense.' He then petted his mustache.

Sometimes, I like to imagine that there is a cat on the back of his head, and the mustache is the cat's tail poking from the back. I let all of them in. Tails got out the windup soldier. Cheese and I watched as he made it march. Tails is a fantastic gears-man. All the high-tech stuff he has is from Robotnik, but I don't think many people know that.

'So, is your mom home? We kinda need her help with stuff.' I answered Tails. 'She went to get things for making a cake! She said it was for Sonicu and Amy. Can you keep a secret?' Tails nodded and leaned closer to hear. 'Sonicu and Amy aren't actually dating. They just do the chase stuff to supply Chaos.' I then quickly kiss him on the nose, leaving him blushing.

'To supply Chaos? I have direct contact with the Master Emerald, and it doesn't tell me any of this stuff. Why does it speak to all of you so much?' Mister Knuckles looked mad. Then Robotnik helped out with an answer. 'Simple. The Master Emerald only tells you what you need to know. The only reason why we have so much information is because we told each other what the Emerald told us. What is it, Vixen?'

Vixen had an uncomfortable look on her face. She moved her hands, and Robotnik seemed to understand. 'I understand. The bathroom is up the stairs and the only door on the right. Be quick about it, I'm going to get Tangle set up.'

Vixen moved her hands some more. 'Oh, right. Well, Vanilla isn't here, the others are too uncomfortable to explain things, and the only anatomy I know well is of robots. And since you will wet yourself soon, I suggest you just go to the bathroom, and try to ignore the self-awkwardness.'

Vixen paced for a few seconds before heading up the stairs. Robotnik went to the broom closet and got out Tangle, getting it set up. 'Earthlings have a game exactly like this, but it's called 'Twister', like a tornado,' Robotnik explained.

We played for a bit, then Vixen came into the room. She went over to the bookshelf, looking at the book covers. She then gave a grunt of . . . anger? She then sat down on the couch. Robotnik suddenly stood up, making me and Tails fall over. Knuckles was the one spinning the arrow on the disk thing.

'Your mom will be home soon, so I have to hide.' He then packed up Tangle, putting it away in the broom closet. He then went into the broom closet, and somehow shut the door. He's so chubby, how did he fit? Mom then opened the front door. 'Well, what a surprise! What do I owe the honor of having guests? And who's the new one?'

Vixen speaks, but it still sounds like another language. Mom is also confused. 'Erm? What . . . was it that you said?' Robotnik answers. 'She said, 'Hello, how are you?' She seems to very polite so far. Too bad she doesn't speak Mobian.' Mom looks more confused. 'Oh?' She then falls backwards, dropping the bag of stuff. Robotnik speaks again. 'And that, my friends and red-headed ball of spiky feathers, is why I wanted to stay hidden.'
