Sonette felt a hand on her shoulder so she looks up to see Tails. Sonette sighs, she has no idea how long she has been sitting there for.
"Is everything ok?" Tails asks as Sonette stands up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Sonette replies as they walk down stairs. "Is Sonic still here?" Sonette then asks.
"No." Tails replies. They walk down to the workshop to see Metal Sonic sitting on the workbench so the pair walks over to him.
"How's Metal?" Sonette then asks.
"I think I have everything now, he is now out of Eggman controls." Tails explains.
"Only time will tell" Sonette said. "Come on Metal." Sonette then said and Metal Sonic stands up.
"I'm glad I had this opportunity." Tails said.
"I'm glad you said yes." Sonette said and Tails smiles.
"Sonic may be mad, but Metal Sonic can be a great help." Tails tells her.
"I rather not talk about Sonic at the moment." Sonette whispers.
"What happened?" Tails asks worry. Sonette explains what happen and Tails sighs.
"Don't worry about it." Sonette said walking upstairs and into the kitchen. She was hungry. She then saw Tails and Metal Sonic.
"I got Sonic to get more food." Tails tells her.
"Good." Sonette whispers. Sonic then walks in with Amy, Cream, Cheese Lilith and Vanilla. Sonette smiles as she helps.
"Mummy." Lilith said and Sonette picks her up.
"What is it baby?" Sonette asks.
"I love you." Lilith said and Sonette smiles.
"Love you too baby girl." Sonette whispers as she sits Lilith down.
"Sonette, a moment." Vanilla said and Sonette sighs.
"Sure." Sonette said following Vanilla into lounge room. "What is it?" Sonette asks worry.
"Sonic told me what you said, about Lilith." Vanilla replies and Sonette sighs.
"I want to be the mother she deserves, but I can't, with my background, my work. I can't. I hate myself because of it." Sonette explains and Vanilla sighs. "Her being with you is what she deserves, a stable home with someone to take care of her. Something I can't do. No matter how hard I try. This is for her." Sonette then explains.
"Sonette, you are doing you best and you can't beat yourself up over this." Vanilla tells her.
"I know, it's a waste of time." Sonette whispers. "How are you off with money?" Sonette then asks as Sonic walks in.
"I'm fine, you have given me enough for a while." Vanilla replies.
"Ok, if you need more, just tell me so I can transfer it." Sonette tells her.
"I will." Vanilla said. "I better go, you take care."
"I will." Sonette said and Vanilla walks off.
"Hey sis." Sonic said.
"What do you want?" Sonette asks.
"To talk." Sonic replies.
"I have nothing to say." Sonette tells him walking into the kitchen. Lilith runs over and gives Sonette a hug.
"Bye mummy." Lilith said and Sonette kiss the top of her head.
"Bye baby, you be good and listen to Miss Vanilla." Sonette tells her.
"I will mummy." Lilith said, letting Sonette go.
"Come on." Vanilla said. She then leaves with Amy, Cream, Cheese and Lilith. Sonette sighs as she walks outside with Metal Sonic behind her.
"What can I do?" Metal Sonic asks.
"Nothing Metal." Sonette replies. "Do you think Eggman would take you back?"
"Yes." Metal Sonic replies and Sonette sighs. "Soon." Metal Sonic adds
"How soon?" Sonette asks.
"I don't know." Metal Sonic replies. They then heard a laughter so Sonette looks over to see Dr Eggman.
"Well hello doctor." Sonette said.
"Hand Metal Sonic over, now." Eggman tells her.
"No." Sonette said. Metal Sonic looks at Sonette, then at Eggman.
"What did you do to him?" Eggman asks.
"What I did, all I did was find him broken and brought him here." Sonette replies as Metal Sonic walks closer to Sonette. "You are not getting him." Sonette tells him. A metal claw then goes to grab her and Metal Sonic, but Metal Sonic grabs it.
"No." Metal Sonic said as he breaks the claw and Eggman looks at him shock. Metal Sonic then stands in front of Sonette.
"I'll be back." Eggman said leaving and Sonette sighs as Sonic and Tails walks out.
"I don't know." Sonic said.
"You heading off?" Sonette asks.
"Yeah, take care." Sonic replies, then runs off in a blur.
"Is everything ok?" Tails asks.
"Eggman was here." Sonette replies, then tells him what happen. Once she was done, Tails sighs.
"We didn't hear anything." Tails said.
"We had everything under control anyway, right Metal?" Sonette said.
"We did." Metal Sonic said.
"Think he will be back?" Tails asks as they walk inside.
"I know he will be back." Sonette replies.
"What do you want for lunch?" Tails asks.
"Please." Sonette replies. They made lunch and Metal Sonic stayed close to them.
"This is going to take some time to get used to." Tails admits.
"Yeah, it's nice though." Sonette said.
"I can say one thing, Eggman showing up is a good sign. He must have lost all control over Metal Sonic." Tails tells Sonette who smiles.
"That is good to hear." Sonette said.
"Sonic told me you aren't talking to him anymore." Tails said and Sonette sighs.
"I asked him for a single little favour, have Lilith for 1 nigh. He turn me down Tails, not just me, Lilith." Sonette explains. "That's why I went for my walk and found Metal Sonic." Sonette adds and Tails sighs. "I just need time." Sonette tells him.
"I know." Tails said. "Sonic is worried though."
"I'll talk to him tomorrow." Sonette tells Tails who nods. As the day went on, Sonette and Metal Sonic helps Tails with the Tornado. By nightfall, the pair had dinner, shower and was getting ready for an early bedtime. Sonette sighs as she sits down on the bed, she got a chair moved in so Metal Sonic. It is seated on Sonette's side of the bed, close to the head so Metal Sonic can make sure nothing happens to her during the night.
"What's wrong?" Metal Sonic asks as he sits down.
"Just, trying to think of words to say to Sonic." Sonette replies.
"I'm sure it will come to you." Metal Sonic tells her.
"Yeah, they always do." Sonette said as she lies down and looks at Metal Sonic. "Night Metal." Sonette whispers.
"Night." Metal Sonic said and Sonette closes her eyes.
