Becoming a True Family

Sweetie had gone off far into the forest, eventually getting lost and very scared, not just because she was in a strange place, but all alone too. She started shaking in fear as she started moving slowly through the forest, among the large redwood trees. All around she heard strange noises, causing her to get more and more frightened, especially since she was still young.

"W-what was that?" she asked herself, after hearing an animal growl that sounded angry "I-I'm lost…w-where do I go?"

She kept moving farther when then noises around her continued to spook her, causing her to stop and cry out in fear

"I-I want my daddy…..but he doesn't want me…." Sweetie sobbed, then shrieked, when it felt like she was being watched.

All around her there were eyes of animals staring coldly at her, looking like they were ready to attack her.

"Leave me alone!" she cried out, loud enough for her parents that followed her to hear her.

Ocean Moon shined her light out as soon as she heard Sweetie's voice, locking her light directly on her as soon as she spotted her, quickly saying "There!"

Executor looked in the direction of the light and sure enough, there was Sweetie, scared out of her wits. He rushed over to her as fast as he could, embracing her in a neck hug.

"Sweetie, my baby." He responded, a little teary eyed "Please don't run off like that, you scared me to death. I don't want to lose you."

"I only ran because it seemed like you didn't love me anymore…." Sweetie responded, still scared out of her mind

Executor looked around and saw what was scaring her and he angrily turned yellow, growling angrily "Get away from my baby…"

The animals fled instantly from that and Ocean Moon moved closer to Sweetie, who looked surprised to see she came with.

"Sweetie, your father loves you and so do I. I've always wanted a daughter and you're the perfect one." Ocean Moon told her "Believe me, I was never trying to make you feel left out."

"You could've told us how you felt, my little one." Executor added, while nuzzling Sweetie "We would've worked it, but remember this. No matter what happens, you're always my baby and I'll always love you."

Sweetie nuzzled back "I love you too, daddy…." She started, then looked at Ocean Moon "….and mommy."

Ocean Moon then kissed Sweetie on one of her claws, saying "Let's go home everyone."

"I couldn't agree more." Sweetie responded and followed her parents back home to where a very happy Elizabeth was waiting for them.

"There you are Sweetie, is everything fixed now?" Elizabeth asked

"Yes, they are…I'm never running away again." Sweetie responded, relieved to be back home

"We patched everything up, like a family should." Executor asked

"That we have, but we have one more thing to get ready for." Ocean Moon brought up, looking at Executor with a smile

Executor nuzzled her "I know, my love, our wedding, let's have it in say a week?"

"Works for me my dear." Ocean Moon responded

Sweetie giggles out of nowhere and says "And I have just the idea for decorations and things like that, but I won't say what it will look like. I'm quite an amusing crane that way."

Sweetie then wheeled away to gets the plans started.

Executor rolled his eyes, chuckling lightly "That's the real silly Sweetie for ya. No wonder her and Phil get along."

"Phil? From the parts shop?" Ocean Wave asked "I heard he's hilarious."

"Sweetie has a huge crush on him and she tells me she wants to take her relationship with him farther." Executor explained

After hearing that Ocean Wave decided she could help Sweetie with her crush. Being a lamp herself, she tended to know what they like, even if they're insane. She made a request to Elizabeth to get a special 'gift'. Elizabeth agreed, but decided to wait until the wedding was over to give it to Sweetie, so she could concentrate on her plans. What could this special gift be?
