The next day, Cream's mom saw that some of her teeth were missing and set up a dentist appointment. "What happened last night that made you loose two teeth?! And you look so bruised with bandages!" She frowned.

"I um... well... me and Team Rose got into a fight with these impolite men called Team Rebels... and they uh... hurt me really bad. B-but good news, mommy! I managed to defend myself!" Cream smiled nervously and comedically. Sweat dripped down her long ears. "Cream! Don't go out late at night beating up criminals! You'll end up getting hurt worse than you did in Sonic Advance and Sonic Heroes!" Vanilla said before wiping her daughter's cheeks.
"Y-yes... mommy..." Cream sighed.
"Can I at least go outside right now, please?" Cream asked.

"Yes, but first, change your clothes and I'll give you something to protect you."

A few minutes later, Cream grumpily walked outside in a football helmet with her body covered in foam and bubble wrap. She waddled around and people glanced at her, raising eyebrows. Cream's face turned red noticing them and she hid in an alleyway.

She then saw an add for lake Metropolis, which reminded her of the Lake of Rings. "...I'm just remembering... Amy once made a wish there to turn 17 like Sonic... And it actually worked! I wonder..." Cream thought as she took off the gear and put it in her backpack.

Cream snuck out of the alleyway to the Lake of Rings. She carefully tossed a ring in, closed her eyes, and made a wish. "I wish... I was as old as Big the cat..." She whispered.

Cream started to glow a golden yellow, only to attract Espio and Knuckles' attention. "Cream, what are you doing here? Did you just make a wish?" Espio asked her. Cream flushed and replied: "Yes, Mr. Chameleon. But I won't tell you the wish." Cream replied. She stopped glowing. "Well um... Thing is we kinda heard the wish already." Knuckles scratched the back of his head with a gloved hand.
"WHAT?! OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR!" Cream panicked running around in circles. She then ran away from the two without saying another word, leaving her backpack behind.

"Hey! Wait up! You left your backpack and you didn't tell us why you made the wish!" Knuckles called out as Espio picked up the bag.

"It must be something strange if she's that urgent about it... You don't think..." Espio began.

The two paused and looked at each other. They seemed baffled by her and almost thought she had a thing for Big.

"NAH!" The two simultaneously said.

Cream stopped running and hid behind a tree. She glanced at her own hands to see if she was older. Her hands didn't resemble an adult's. Not yet, at least. She then walked off, thinking desperately about getting married to Big. But it wasn't a good time. Not yet, with everyone else to deal with, especially villians from another dimension on her tail.

"I need to slow down. This relationship started not too long ago and it's already strange enough I want to be older. Half of the Chaotix knows and those two members would probably tell Mister Vector, Charmy, Mister Mighty and Mister Ray... Oh good golly I'm so nervous! My paws are shaking!" She shivered as her hands grew bigger. She gasped and put them in her pockets. She then noticed that her backpack was gone.

"OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR!" She yelled once more. She ran back into Knuckles and Espio.
"You left this behind, Cream." Espio said, showing her the pack.
"Iknowdon' !" Cream said extremely fast as she snatched the orange and yellow backpack out of his hand.

"Wow... her hands were like... your size, Espio!" Knux laughed.
"Yes... But let's not tell anyone about the wish. It might not come true." Espio whispered.

"Oh please, we don't even know WHY she's wishing it!" Knuckles chuckled even more.
Espio sighed and facepalmed.

"Maybe we should talk to Big about this." Knuckles said.

"I'd rather not. For all I know, she might be planning something disturbing."
"Like what, purple punk?"
"...I... Um... Cat sex."
"Oh god. OH GOD!"

Knuckles covered his eyes. "OK OK I'm telling no one about this!" Knuckles cried.
"Surely they'll see the results anyway." Espio rolled his eyes.
"Yeah... Let's... Let's just go."

The two walked away from the magical lake.

Cream went to her mother's Chao Garden. She ran into Cheese and Chocoachao, who both had shocked looks on their faces. "What is it?" She asked them. Cheese, without a word, pulled up a glass shard. Cream gasped and saw that she had a tuft of hair on her head, similar to Vanilla's. She also looked a bit taller. "I um... I...uh... made a wish at the...The L-lake of Rings... it's really hard to explain!" Cream's face turned bright red as she matured a bit more. "Ugh... my chest feels weird... Cheese... Choachoachao... I need to go to the bathroom..." She said as she held her chest. The two chao nodded and hid in the bushes.
Cream looked in the mirror and was terrified to see she grew two lumps on her chest and her clothes were way too small. "M-mommy called these b-breasts... right? She told me I'd get these when I grow o-older..." Cream said as she grasped them. "I saw them in Sonic's magazines... It... it feels so weird to have these...wh-what's even inside them?" Cream whispered as she watched them jiggle. "Probably white jelly. Heh heh!"
She had no clue how wrong she was...

"Oh my... What will mom think of this?! Wait... Did I just say "Mom"?! Oh man the age is affecting my wording!" Cream ran out the door as fast as she could. She went in her room and unpacked her bag. She felt her face and teeth. She had her two front teeth again and her wounds we're healed. She screamed and nearly jumped back. Time felt like it went by so fast! As if she rushed forward into the future.

"Cream? Is there something wrong? I heard you scream!" Vanilla hollered out in the hallway.

"Um... I-I'm fine mom I'm just watching a horror movie!" Cream shuttered.

"Why does your voice sound different? It sounds a bit deeper." Vanilla asked. Creams heart raced as she heard her mother's footsteps.

Suddenly, Froggy jumped through the open window into her room. He croaked.

"Sssshh shhh!" Cream whispered.

She wanted to hide, but she knew she had no choice. She couldn't lie to her mother any longer. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

Cream walked up to Vanilla while closing her eyes.

Vanilla dropped the glass plate in her hand and it shaddered once she saw her daughter was a fully grown woman. Her jaw also dropped.

"Mom...I mean mommy... I had a crush on Mister Big this whole time. I didn't wanna tell you because I thought you'd find it crazy... S-so I made myself older for him. Please don't get mad! I lied this whole time! I'm sorry mommy!" Cream said as tears streamed down her face.

Vanilla was still stunned, her mouth wide open. She had no clue how to take this all in.

"I... Um... Mom? Mom?" Cream said, shaking her mom. Froggy lept on to her head.

Vanilla fainted.

"Mom? Mom! Please wake up!" Cream said shaking her. She put an ear on her chest. "She's still breathing, good. Well... I should return Froggy to Big. I wonder what he'll think of my new body?* Cream said. She struggled to pick up her mother, still not used to her new body. She placed Vanilla on the couch.

She then changed into one of her mom's dresses and went outside. Boys looked at her and some of them cat called her and wolf whistled.

She blushed trying to ignore them, having no clue what they wanted. She then ran up to Big and gave him Froggy.

"Why thank you– Woah... WOAH!" Big blushed as he saw that Cream looked much older. He held Froggy and looked away from her trying to piece together what the heck happened to her.

"Um... Mister Big... Remember that time we went to the uh ... Lake of Rings? Well ... I... Um... Wished myself to be the same age as you... And... I love you THAT much." Cream sweat nervously, her face getting pinker and pinker by the minute.

Big was still in shock. He had no clue what to think of her, but at the same time he had the weirdest boner. Froggy just croaked like nothing happened.
