It was October 31st, and at the Mansion, the kids were getting ready for Halloween. Charmy went as Doctor Frankenstein, with his white lab coat and black gloves, Cream is dressed in a pink ballerina outfit with matching pink slippers, tutu and pink bows on her ears and Wally went as Sherlock Holmes with a blue coat instead of brown, with matching blue hat and a blue pipe with bubbles blowing out of it. Angel went as Wonder Woman with the outfit, braclets, and lasso.


After they were ready, they were getting the younger kids their costumes on and Cream helped the girls get their costumes on along with Chip's help. He wanted to visit the Heroes, but was surprised that they were toddlers. But after Wally explained what happened, he decided to stay with them until they found a way to turn them all back to their normal selves.

"Wookie! Me a pwincess!" Amy said as she was wearing a pink princess outfit with matching princess tiara, princess shoes and a pink candy bag.

"Me a witch!" Sonia exclaimed happily as she was wearing a violet color witch's costume with matching witch's hat and a broom and a candy bucket that's an exact shape of a cauldron.

"Me collect cwandy wit bag!" Rouge said as she wore a black coat with a matching black hat and a robber's bag as her candy bag.

Blaze was wearing a black cat onesie with a tail and black cat ears and Chip was helping her by putting on a little bit of lack paint on her muzzle around her nose to make the whiskers.

"There! You look great, Blaze!" Chip complimented as he cleaned his hands with a wet rag that Cream handed to him.

"Oof!" He said as Blaze grabbed him and hugged him happily.

"Thankies, Chippy!" Blaze said to him and he giggles as she and the other toddlers called him 'Chippy'.

"Your welcome, Blaze!" Chip exclaimed as he hugged back.

"Arrg! Shwiver me twimbers, mwates! We conqwuer dis Hallwoween!" Marine exclaimed as she jumped out in Pirate Captain costume, she wore pirate's clothing, boots, a pirate's captain hat, and a wooden sword with her candy bag with a pirate's treasure chest on it.

"Hehe! Mawine wis fwunnwy!" Marcy said as she was dressed as a cowgirl with her bandana around her neck, her brown boots, sleeveless vest, pink shirt, pink cowgirl hat.

Cream giggled and felt her tutu being tugged.

She looked down and saw Tikal in her light blue fairy costume with beautiful fairy wings and a wand.

"Aww, Tikal. What's the matter?" Cream asked the orange echidna as she bend down to her level.

"Me wings nweed fwixing, pwease, Cweam?" Tikal said as she made her sad puppy look.

Cream smiled and grabbed the sewing kit and a she sewed the wings back on the cloth of Tikal's costume.

"There! All fix, Tikal! You look so cute in that outfit!" Cream exclaimed happily. Tikal smiled and hugged Cream with a big smile on her face.

"Thankies, Cweam!" Tikal thanked her.

Cream just giggled and hugged Tikal back.

"Your welcome." She said.

"Aba!" Cream turned around and smiled as she saw Sonia holding Rosy, who was wearing a beautiful angel costume with small, white bird-like wings, a baby size white dress and a golden halo on top of her head while Amy put Rosy's white shoes on her feet.

Then, Cream smiled as she saw the boys coming out.

Sonic was wearing what supposed to be a werewolf costume, which is a fake werewolf nose strapped around his real one, and big furry, pointy ears.

"Me wolfie! Awoooooo!" Sonic exclaimed happily and did a howl sound, which made the girls giggle.

"Swonic cwute!" Amy said with a giggle and caused Sonic to blush and little and giggled.

"Thankies, Amwy." Sonic said to her.

Shadow sneaked up behind Sonic.

"Bwoo!" Shadow yelled and Sonic jumped in fear and landed on his feet in a fighting stance.

"Gwotcha, Fwaker! Me vwampire! Me want two dwink woor blwood!" Shadow said with a fake vampire accent as he was wore a red vest with a white shirt underneath, black pants with matching black shoes, a red cape and plastic fangs.

"Wat wall tink? Pwetty cwool, wight?" Shadow asked as he held his cape out.

"It's cwool, bwut nwot was cwool as dis!" Silver said as he walked from behind Charmy wearing a fake alien saucer around his waist with overall like straps in his shoulders and an alien antennas on his head.

"Me an aliwen! Bweep, bweep! Woo twake me twoo weader!" Silver said as he ran around the kids with his arms out.

Blaze giggled at his enthusiasm and caused the white hedgehog to stop and blush deeply.

Then, there was groaning sound and the kids looked and saw Manic wrapped in bandages due to him being a mummy this year and doing the mummy walk.

"Me a mwummwy!" He said and caused everyone to giggle.

Then, 2 fake plastic kunais hit the wall but fell on the ground and not on the wall. The children gasp and saw Espio on the couch wearing a black and red ninja costume.

"Me a stwealthy ninjwa!" Espio exclaimed as he jumped off the couch and did a ninja landing, stood up, closed his eyes and bowed to the children, which they laughed and clapped for the young chameleon.

Tails came flying, wearing a pumpkin costume with matching orange shoes and stem to match.

"Why me pwumpkwin, Cweam?" Tails asked nervously as he blushed a little bit in embarrassment.

"That's the costume that we thought would be good for you, Tails. Besides, I think it's really cute!" Cream responded with a tint blush on her cheeks which Wally was the only one who saw it, but he smiled at the 2 friends.

"Zwoom! Me swupermwan!" Knuckles exclaimed as he came running in his Superman costume.

"Wat wall tink of me wizward?" Timber asked as he was wearing a blue wizard's costume with a matching pointy hat, a wand and a miniature cauldron as his candy bucket (same as Sonia).

"Way pwast cwool, Twimbwer!" Sonic responded with a thumb's up and that caused the young wolf pup to say his tail in excitement.

"Alloween! Alloween!" The kids looked and saw Vector walking in his skeleton one-piece jacket with matching hood and he held Scourge, who wore a devil's costume with matching horns and a miniature red torch.

"Me skweleton and Scwourage a dwevil." Vector pointed out to the children.

The kids smiled and Wally did a head count. "13, 14, 15, 16, plus 2 babies... Wait! 16 toddlers?! Why is there 16?! Who's missing?!" Wally asked with a freaked out voice.

The children looked around and heard Scourge clapping.

"Willa, Willa!" Scourge said with a happy chant.

"Willa? Who's Willa?" Charmy asked as he flew next to Wally and Cream.

"Hmm... Vanilla! Scourge is trying to say 'Vanilla'!" Wally responded as he looked around.

"You're right, Wally! In fact, I haven't seen mother since I put her costume on." Cream said them as she looked around for her toddler mother.

"Where could she have gone?" Angel asked as she and CHarmy looked around the living room.

The other toddlers helped by looking around for Vanilla.

Vector used his 'detective skills' and thought about the places where Vanilla would be hiding. Then, he walked in the kitchen and saw nothing till he heard Scourge giggling and clapping. "Willa ere! Willa ere!" He chanted and pointed to something underneath the table. Vector gave him a confused look and walked towards the table and saw something sticking out from underneath the table cloth.

Vector saw it and got on his knees and grabbed it and he heard a squeal in shock and he recognized it right away and smiled.


In the living room, everyone was still looking for Vanilla.

"Oh, where could my mother be, boys?" Cream asked in a worried voice.

"Don't worry, Cream. We'll find her." Chip said as he landed on her head.

"Me fwound Vanillwa!" The kids turned and saw Vector walking to them with Scourge in one arm and held Vanilla's hand with his other hand.

Vanilla had on a nurse costume. She had on a nurse's jacket, white slippers, a nurse's hat and her candy bag had first air kit over her shoulder while she held her stuffed bear, which was wearing a small size white jacket. She had a scared look on her face.

"She undwerneath twable in kwitchwen." Vector explained to them and Cream noticed Vanilla's scared look.

"Aww. Mother what's wrong?" Cream asked as she picked her up.

"Me scward, Cweam!" Vanilla exclaimed as she held Cream with tears almost forming in her eyes.

"Mother. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just people dressed in costumes." Cream explained. Vanilla looked up and sniffed a little.

"Woo pwomise?" Vanilla asked and Cream smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I promise." Cream and that made Vanilla calm down and she jumped down and held her toy bear.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go!" Charmy exclaimed.

"Sure, we can also take this red wagon I found and cleaned!" Wally explained as he pulled the red wagon around.

"Ooohhh." The toddlers exclaimed as they saw it.

"Come on, let's go!" Charmy exclaimed as he opened the door.

"Woohoo!" Charmy said as he flew and caused everyone to laugh.

Vanilla, Tikal, Sonia and Amy, who picked Rosy up, and they got nto the wagon and Vector and Manic pulled the wagon out of the door and the rest of the toddlers and Angel, Wally and Cream followed them.


The group went from house to house and said 'trick-or-treat' and received tons of sweets and candy.

"Kay, a few more houses, then we can head home and eat a few of our treats." Wally explained to them.

"Kay!" Everyone stated.

"Surprisingly, no one knows about these toddlers are Sonic and the others." Chip said to them as he flew with them.

They stopped at the next house and Wally knocked on the door. Then, the door opened and toddlers smiled.

"Twick or Tweat!" The toddlers exclaimed happily as they held their candy bags and buckets and the elder couple smiled and handed each kid some candy and they smiled and thanked the couple and waved at them as they walked off.

"Ooh! Me gwot swuckwers! What wall gwet?" Sonic asked them.

Sonic, Vector, Espio, Shadow and Silver got gummies. Vanilla, Sonia and Tikal got gummies as well. Timber, Marine, and Rouge got chocolate bars. Tails got some chocolate chip mint cookies. Amy, Marcy, Blaze, Manic and Espio got a few small packages of skittles, and Rosy and Scourge got a few packages of bite sizes Oreo cookies.

Angel, Wally, Charmy, Chip and Cream had some treats as well.

"Whoa! Wookie! Pwetty mwoon!" Sonia pointed at the sky and the clouds and revealed a bright full moon in night sky.

"Oh, cool!" Wally, Charmy and Chip exclaimed.

"It's so beautiful." Cream added as she saw this.

"Me wolf! Me howl! Wookie! *Clear his throat* Awoo-AH!" Sonic exclaimed as he held his head in pain.

"Awoo-ah? What kind of werewolf howl is that?" Charmy asked with a smirk.

But, Angel, Wally and Cream noticed that Sonic was groaning in pain as he held his head still.

"Sonic? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Cream asked as she walked to him, but stopped by Wally.

"Wait! Something's wrong! Look!" Wally exclaimed as he pointed at Sonic's fur as they saw it turned darker, fluffier and caused his costume to rip, his gloves tore as his hands became a little bit bigger with claws at the tip of his fingers, his four canine teeth became sharper and his tail became a little longer and fluffier as well and he did a real and cute wolf howl as the transformation was completed.

"Oh, bwo! Woo weal wolf!" Manic exclaimed in shock as he pointed at him.

"Hmm?" Sonic asked and he walked on his fours to a nearby rain puddle on the ground and he saw his reflection and gasped in shock and fright and ran and jumped in Cream's arms and hid his face in her chest and shook and whimper in fear.

"Oh, dude! What happened to him?" Angel asked in confusion.

"He's a REAL werewolf! Cool!" Charmy exclaimed in excitement.

"Actually, Charmy. Sonic's a werehog. But that's impossible! When me and Sonic were going against Dark Gaia, he lost his ability to turn into a werehog. I wonder how he can turn into one now?" Chip asked in confusion.

"Hmm. Maybe it has something to do with the moon, Chip. After all, he didn't transform till the full moon appeared." Wally responded to Chip's question.

"Onic wuppy!" Scourge said to him happily.

Sonic looked at Scourge and the others and started to cry a little as he hid his face in Cream's chest again. Cream smiled softly and petted his darker and fluffier head, till he calmed down.

"Wow, Cream! You're great with these kids!" Wally said in amazement.

Cream smiled at him as she put Sonic back down to the ground.

"Thank you, Wally." Cream said with a smile.

The toddlers walked over to Sonic with worried looks.

"Woo otay, bwo?" Sonia asked Sonic with a worried voice.

"M-Me tink swo. Athwough, me fweel itchwy." Sonic responded as he got on his fours and used his left foot to scratch his left ear.

"Eww! Swonic! Stwop dat! Dat's nwot wight fwor a hedgewog two dwo swuch a ting!" Sonia said in disgust.

"Me sowwy, Swonia! Bwut me itchwy!" Sonic said as he stopped scratching and got up and shook it off.

Cream gave Sonic a curious look and walked over to him and scratched behind his ear.

"Cweam? Wat woo dwo-! Ooooohhhhh!" Sonic said as his tongue stook out of his mouth and his right foot started going up and down really fast as Cream continue scratching.

"*Snickers* I don't believe it! Sonic is acting like a REAL puppy!" Charmy said with a snickered voice.

"Yeah, a werehog puppy." Wally added in as they saw Cream giggling at Sonic's foot motor. When she stopped scratching, his foot automatically stops at the same time. Cream smiled as she saw him shook his fur as she stood up.

"Sonic's really cute this way isn't he?" Cream asked the 3 boys and they nodded.

"Yep! He sure is. But, I wonder if he still have his powers?" Chip asked with curiosity.

"Actually, the real question is, how long will Sonic's wereform last, Chip?" Wally asked the flying chihuahua.

"Well, it usually ends when the morning sun rises, Wally." Chip responded to him.

"Man! That means we have to wait till the sun comes up?! Geez!" Charmy whined, which Wally gave him a glare.

"Quit complaining, will ya? If we have to wait, we'll wait, Charmy! Besides, we still have a few more houses to go! Come on!" Wally said as he ran with the 3 kids and Chip following him.

Since no one was in the wagon, Sonic jumped in and Vector pulled the handle and began chasing the older kids with the toddlers following.


After a few more houses, the group were walking home. But they didn't know where it was since it was dark and was getting foggy as well.

"W-Wally? I hope you know where we are?" Cream asked with a scared look as she held his arm.

Chip was shaking while he was on Wally's other shoulder and gulped. Charmy was getting scared as well and the toddlers were even more scared than all 4 of the kids. Angel on the other hand was being calm.

"D-D-Dis wis gwetting scwarier bwy de mwinute!" Sonic said as he walked on his fours and his ears were lowered and tail tucked between his legs in fear and since was little bigger than the other toddlers, Amy was riding his back and looked around with her ears lowered as well.

"Swonic, me scward!" Amy exclaimed as she held on and she placed her chin on his head.

Sonic's ears went up a little as he heard Any say that and gently placed his tail on her back and rubbed it.

"We bwe fwine, Amwy. Woo swee." Sonic said with a confident voice, even though he doubted himself, but he doesn't want to worry her.

Then the group passed by a huge, scary mansion.

"Whoa! That looks really cool! We should check it out!" Charmy exclaimed to the others.

"Uh, no! Haven't you seen the movies or cartoons with big, scary looking mansions?! Some nut job would be silly enough to go in and once they go in... Do you know what happens next?" Wally asked Charmy. Charmy, Chip, Cream, the toddlers and the 2 babies shook their heads.

"No/Nwo." They all responded at once.

"Well, once they go in, they never come back out... ALIVE!" Wally responded.

"Eep!" The girls squeal in fear.

"Whoa. *Gulp*" The boys gulped at this.

"Yep! That's why we shouldn't go in there! Come on! I don't think our mansion is far away from here." Wally said as he walked ahead with Chip, Charmy and Cream following. The toddlers walked about 5 feet till...

"Pwst!" They all stopped and looked and saw Shadow standing in front of the staircase that leads to the 2 front doors of the big, scary mansion.

The toddlers looked at him for a minute and walked over to the black and red 'vampire' hedgehog.

"Wat wup, Shwad?" Manic asked him in curiosity.

"Me tink we gwo in mwanswion." Shadow responded in a whisper voice and an annoyed look for Manic calling him 'Shad'.

That made the children gasp in shock.

"Nwo, Shwadwow! We nwo gwo in dere! Olly swaid swo, mwembwer?" Vanilla asked as she held her stuff bear closer to her chest.

"Vanillwa's wight, Shwadow! We nwo gwo in dere!" Sonic agreed.

Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Wes, bwut me nwo afwaid of anyting!" Shadow said in a confident voice.

The other children were still unsure about this and this made Shadow sigh in frustration.

"Fwine! Me gwo meswelf! Chwickens!" Shadow said and he ran up the staircase, which there wasn't much, and to the doors.

"Shwadow! Wait fwor wus!" Sonic whispered to him and ran after him with the other toddlers following him out of shock and made it to the door.

"Ha! Me knwew wall would cwome!" Shadow said with a smug look of triumph.

"Wat?! Nwo! We cwome two gwet woo, dwoo-dwoo wead!" Rouge said in an annoyed voice.

"Hmph! Me nwo dwoo-dwoo wead, Wouge!" Shadow exclaimed unamused.

Then, Shadow looked at the big doors and gulped a little and he hesitated as he reached his hand to the wooden doors.

"Well, Shwadow? We waaaiting!" Sonic said in a teasing voice and caused the others to giggle.

"Ha, ha, vwery fwunny, Fwaker." Shadow said in a sarcastic voice. Shadow knocked on the door several times and backed up.


For a few minutes, there was nothing and Sonic was getting bored.

"Welp, nwo one wome, we gwo nwow!" Sonic said and the group turned around and was about to walk down the stair, till, both the doors opened really slowly, causing the toddlers to turn back around.

Shadow gave them a smug look.

"Swee? Me wight!" Shadow said to them and Sonic rolled his eyes and he stood back up as Amy got off of him, and they walked to the doors with Shadow and the rest of the toddlers.

"TWICK OR TWEAT!" They all said at once as they held their bags and cauldrons (Sonia and Timber) out to the person at the doors. But, no one passed out any candy .

"Wo! What gwives?! Where de cwandies?" Manic asked as he and the others put their hands down and give the doorx a confused look.

Shadow and Sonic walked over to the doors and pushed them opened and revealed that no one was there and a dark room and the toddlers gasp at this in shock.

"Uh... Hellwo?" Shadow asked and all could be heard was his echo.

"Mwaybwe dere cwandies in dere." Manic said to them and they all began to walk in with Knuckles pulling the wagon.

But, the toddlers saw Vanilla standing outside of the doors with a scared look.

"Wat wong, Vanillwa?" Blaze asked as they saw her.

"Me nwo want two gwo in dere! Wit scwary and spwookwy." Vanilla responded with a shaking voice as she held her bag in one hand and her toy in the other.

Vector smiled and walked over to her and picked her up.

"Nwo worries, Vanillwa. Me pwotwect woo!" Vector said to her. She smiled and nodded to him.

"Thankies, Vwector." She said as he carried her in and put her back down.

The children looked around and saw old pictures, stairs that lead to the top floor, candles, knight armors.

"Whoa! Cwool!" Manic said in awe.

Sonia walked passed by some shelves and run a finger across it and saw that it was covered in dust and dirt and made a disgusted look.

"Oh, gwoss! Dis pwace is weally dwustwy, and dwirty! When was de wast twime dwid dis pwace gwet cweaned?" She exclaimed not pleased about this.

"Probwably fworever, swis!" Sonic responded as the children wander around.

Vanilla looked around and placed her hands on the walls as she was walking around.

"Wit two dwark two swee!" Vanilla said as she continued walking with her hand still on the wall.

Then, Vanilla accidentally pressed something on the wall.

"Wuh-Oh! Gwuys, me pwessed someting!" Vanilla said with a panicked voice and ran to the others and held Vector's arm.

The kids stayed huddled together as they embraced for whatever is going to happen, but... noting happened.

"Huh. Welp! We nwo worrwy, nwo. Noting happened, swo mwaybwe we shwould weave-!" Shadow stopped as they heard something from underneath their feet and gasp and the noise stop. The toddlers looked at each other with confused looks.

"Um... Stwill! Noting happWEEEEEND!" Sonic was cut off as a door opened from underneath and they all fell in.

"KIDS!" Wally exclaimed as the 4 kids along with Chip, burst through the doors right before they fell and ran to the trap door, but it closed before they could get to them.

"Dang it! The door's locked!" Wally exclaimed as he tried pulling on it.

"What are we going to do?" Cream asked as tears formed in her eyes.

"Finding a way to get in! That's what!" Angel responded.


Meanwhile, the toddlers were sliding on a giant slide and yelling and screaming as they slided down.


After a minute or two, the toddlers and babies finally made it to the ground.

"Nng! Aw, mwan! Me wead wurt!" Shadow groaned as he sat up and rubbed his head in pain.

Then he heard some other groaning sounds and looked and saw the rest of the younger kids.

"Mwan, Shwadow! Thankies awot!" Sonic said to Shadow as he got on his fours and shook himself.

"Me! Wat me dwo?!" Shadow asked in anger.

"Woo wead wus in de scwary wouse! Dat wat!" Silver responded as he helped Blaze up.

Shadow growled and shook his head in response.

"Uh-Uh! Vanillwa's de wone dat pwess someting on de wall!" Shadow said in defense.

Then Amy looked around and saw that everyone was here, except for...

"Vanillwa? Wey, where Vanillwa gwo?" Amy asked as she noticed that Vanilla was the only one missing.

"Shwe wit wus en we swided dwown." Sonia responded as she and the rest of the children looked around and saw that Vanilla was nowhere to be seen.

"*Gasp* Vanillwa maybwe wost! We nweed two fwind er!" Vector exclaimed and the children nodded and began walking as Knuckles was pulling the wagon with all their Halloween candy in, including Vanilla's.


Somewhere else in the Mansion, Vanilla was laying down on the ground and began to open her eyes. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and looked around and noticed that she was in another room. This room had 2 giant size windows with dark and torn curtains blowing a little bit due to the windows being open a little bit, old pictures, similar to the ones in the main room (the entrance).

Vanilla got up and held her toy bear close to her.

"W-Which woom dwid we wand, Vwector?" Vanilla asked her old friend.

But there was no response.

"Vwector?" Vanilla asked again as she was still looking and still didn't get any response.

Then she looked around and saw that none of the other children were with her at all.

Vanilla gasp and looked around again.

"Gwuys? Where ware wall? Vwector? Swonic?... Amwy? Anybwody?" Vanilla called out, but no response at all.

"Vwector dis wisn't fwunny at wall! Woo knwow me dwon't wike bweing awone!" Vanilla said out loud and still the house was silent.

Vanilla began to whimper a little bit as she rubbed her head, but noticed that her nurse's hat as on her head.

"Wuh-Oh! Me hwat! Wit gwone! Jwust wike me fwiends." Vanilla said in a sad voice, but she continued to look around. While she was looking, there were several figures watching her from nearby. Vanilla saw that there was another door and ran to it and opened it up and reveal a giant hallway that leads to 2 different hallways. "Wookie, Tweddy. Maybwe we fwind fwiends in wone of diz wallways. Wet's gwo." Vanilla said to her toy and she went down one of the hallways.

The figures saw her walk off from the opened door.

"She must be lost, you guys." One of the figures said.

"Yeah! We better follow her and make sure she's safe before something bad happens!" One of the other ones said and the rest nodded and began to follow Vanilla down the hall. Vanilla was still walking down the hall and looking for the rest of the children, unaware that she was being followed.

She stopped in the middle of the hallway as she heard some noises coming from behind her and she gulped. She turned and saw 8 figures standing behind her and she began to backup a little bit with a scared look on her face as she raised one hand up in defense as she held her toy a little closer to her in her other hand.

But as she backed up, the figures kept coming towards her.

"P-Pwease! Me dwidn't dwo anyting." Vanilla said to them and the figure in the front lifted it's shadow hands/paws up.

"Hey! Easy, kiddo! We're not going to-!" The figure was cut off as Vanilla didn't listen as she ran off and the figures ran after her as they continued.

Vanilla ran for a good few minutes till she ran into another room, a smaller room what appears to be. She went behind the recliner and sat on the floor and sighed in relief.

"Whew! Dat was cwose, Tweddy! We wost dose scwary tings!" Vanilla said to her bear.

Then, she let out a big yawn.

"Me sowwy, Tweddy. Me jwust twiered and me want sweep. Woo dwon't mwind me wusing woo as a pillwow, dwo woo?" Vanilla asked.

The bear didn't respond, though for Vanilla's current age, not talking toys is usually a response and she smiled.

Vanilla looked to see if the figures were around and saw that they weren't and she climbed the chair, which wasn't covered in dust and put the bear on the arm rest and placed the bear's head on it and layed her head on his belly and her body layed across the seat. She closed her eyes and stuck her thumb in her mouth and sucked on it slowly as she slept.

The figures walked into room and walked over to the recliner where they saw Vanilla sleeping soundly and walked over to her quietly and slowly so they don't wake her up. The shadows of the figures loom over Vanilla as they saw her sleeping.

"Wow! For a 2 year old mobian rabbit, she's fast on her two feet!" One of the figures said to the group.

"Yes, but it was our fault for scaring her." One of the other figures pointed out.

"Well, she can't stay here, at least not by herself. We should bring her back with us till we find her friends." The fourth figure said as he sniffed her.

"Yes, yes! We'll do just that!" The first figure said as it gently pick Vanilla up and held her against it's chest.

"Take the bear, too!" It said to the other figure.

"Oh, alright!" The figure said as a black jaw with a red nose gently clamp on the toy bear and the figures walked with Vanilla and her toy bear out of the living room and somewhere else in the house.


Meanwhile, the rest of the toddlers were still looking for Vanilla. Sonic was sniffing the floor for any clues while walking on his hands and feet with the others following him. Since his werehog form is pretty similar to a werewolf's curse, he's got a really good sense of smell, good vision an really good hearing.

"Gwot anyting, Swonic?" Amy asked in a worried voice.

Sonic kept sniffing till a very familiar scent hit his nose and he lifted his head and ran ahead.

"Swonic! Wait fwor wus!" Tails exclaimed as they ran after him.

They stopped as they saw Sonic sitting on his hands and legs with his tail wagging and a white hat in his mouth.

"Wookie wat mwe fwoundwed!" Sonic exclaimed with a muffle due to the hat being in his mouth.

The kids ran and Tikal gasp as she grabbed the hat from Sonic's mouth, which was covered in a little bit of his drool, which she didn't mind much and gave the hat a good examining.

"Wit Vanillwa's hat! Shwe mwust've dwopped wit en we swided dwown de swide!" Tikal explained to them.

The children gasp at this discovery.

"Well, wat we dwo nwow, mwates?" Marine asked as she looked at them.

"Me fwind er bwy smwelling de hat fwor er swcent and twacking er dwown!" Sonic explained to them and started sniffing the hat and then started smelling the air then the floor.

"Ooh! Er swcent wiz dis way!" Sonic exclaimed and ran off.

"Swooonwic! Wait fwor wus!" The kids said at the same time as they ran after the young werehog pup.


Somewhere else in the house, the mysterious figures took the sleeping Vanilla to another room, which was the living room and the figure that was holding her, placed Vanilla on the couch and placed a quilt over her an a pillow under her head gently. The other one gave her toy bear and she held it in her sleep, with her thumb in her mouth still, unaware of being in the same room as the figures.

"Hey! Can you turn the lamps on, Lucky, so our new guest can see us when she wakes up?" The main figure asked.

The figure nodded and turned on all the lamps.


A few minutes later, 10 more figures came into the room and greeted the 8 friends.

"So, is she our prisoner?" One of the 10 figures asked.

They shook their heads in response.

"No! Her and her little friends came in here and she accidentally set off the big trapped door from the entrance way, and slided down, she must've gotten separated from the others when they went by the split slided. So, we were watching her and followed her in the hallway, but we scared accidentally scared her and she ran to the small room that was not far from the living room and saw her sleeping on the recliner. So, we decided to bring her here." The main figure explained.

"Oh." The rest of the figures said.

"Yeah. So, We'll be watching her till we find her friends." The second figure said.


After 10 minutes, Vanilla was beginning wake up. She opened her eyes slowly.

"Oh look, guys! She's waking up!" One of the figures exclaimed.

Vanilla sat up and saw 5 different blurry colors at first, then after a few blinks, her vision began to clear up and revealed a Riolu, Eevee, Fennekin, Pikachu and Poochyena around her.

Vanilla gasped in fright as she saw them and brought her knees up and covered her eyes with her hands.

"Whoa, whoa! Now, take it easy, kid! Like I said earlier, we're not going to hurt you. We just want to help you." The Riolu said in a comforting voice.

Vanilla uncovered her eyes slowly and looked and saw the rest of the features coming in.

There was a Luxray, Chespin, Pancham, Noibat, Growlithe, Dedenne, Charmander, Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Froakie and Vulpix. Then, there was a Mewtwo, but this one looked pretty young still and they all looked at the 2 year old rabbit.

"W-Weally? Wall no wurt me?" Vanilla asked in a frightened voice still. They all nodded in response.

The Eevee jumped on the couch and walked to Vanilla.

"Of course we won't, you silly rabbit! We just want to help you!" Eevee responded to Vanilla.

"Well, kid! I'm Louis the Riolu! Let me introduce you to my gang, here!

Louis introduce his friends to Vanilla.

Vanilla uncovered her eyes fully and gave the 18 creatures a curious look.

"Wat ware wall? Are wall... Pwokwémon?" Vanilla asked curiously.

They all nodded once again in response.

"Yep! We sure are!" Chester responded proudly.

"Don't mind him. He's always full of himself." Chika said to Vanilla in an unamused voice.

"Besides Chester being full of himself, what's your name, kid?" Louis asked Vanilla curiously.

"Me Vanillwa and dis Tweddy!" Vanilla responded as she pointed to herself and to her toy bear.

"Vanilla, huh? That's a cute name and it really suits you!" Flara exclaimed happily to Vanilla's name.

Vanilla just smiled back an realized that she has new friends.

Then, she looked around and let out a sad sighed.

"Aw. What's wrong, Vanilla?" Bella asked curiously.

"Well, me want me fwiends bwack, bwut me dwon't knwow where dey ware." Vanilla responded as she began to whimper.

"Hey, you okay?" Louis as as he sweat drop nervously.

"Waaaahhhh! Me nwo wanna bwe awone! Waahh!" Vanilla began crying which made the Pokémon friends jump in shock.

"H-Hey! There's no reason to cry, sweetie. Calm down... Please?" Bella asked with a gentle smile.

"Aw, geez! Make her stop!" Chester complained as he held the side of his head with his paws as Vanilla continued to cry.

Mikey looked at Vanilla and landed on the couch on his knees and pull the young rabbit into a hug.

Vanilla stopped crying as she felt Mikey's embrace.

"Everything is going to be alright. No reason to cry, Vanilla." Mikey said in a gentle voice.

Vanilla smiled and sniffed as she hugged him back.

"Thankies, Mwikey!" Vanilla said to him and the broke the embrace.

Mikey smiled at her and nodded in response.

"You're welcome, kid!" Mikey responded to her.

"Well, since she stopped crying, maybe we should help her find her friends and get out of here before HE finds out!" Chester suggested as he uncovered his ears.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! We should help her." Squirt agreed.

Vanilla smiled widely and clapped her hands several times.

"Yay! Yay!" She chanted several times.

"Great! Hop on my back and we'll find your friends, kid!" Louis said as turned his back to Vanilla and she happily jump on his back and held her bear as well.

"Kay, let's go!" Lucky said as they all left the room and they ran to the library.

Then, they heard...

"AWOOOOOO!"

That sound heard from nearby and the Pokémon gasp in shock.

But for Vanilla, she gasp in excitement.

"What was that? I've never heard that kind of Pokémon." Flames said in a frightened voice.

"Dat's me fwiend Swonic! Swonic da hedgewog! Well, werewog." Vanilla explained to them.

"Ohhh." The Pokémon said at the same time.

Vanilla giggled and cuffed her hands over her mouth.

"SWONIC!" She shouted and Louis' ears dropped from Vanilla's shouting.

"Whoop! Sowwy, Wouis." Vanilla apologized quickly to the Riolu.

Then, the rest of the toddlers ran into the library and saw they smiled when they saw her.

"Vanillwa!" They all exclaimed in happiness.

Vanilla smiled as tears of happiness formed in her eyes and she hopped of Louis' back and ran to them and she jumped in Vector's arms.

"Me swo wappy two swee wall!" Vanilla exclaimed happily as they were all talking to them.

The Pokémon just smiled as they saw this reunion.

"Aww! That's so sweet." Bella said with a gentle smile.

"Yuck! Too mushy for me to handle!" Chester complained as he stook his tongue out and did a gagging sound in disgust.

Vanilla explained to them what happened and introduce her new friends to them, which they thanked them for looking after her. The Pokémon just smiled and nodded to them.

"Now that y'all are back together, you all should get out here before he comes." Mikey said to the mobian toddlers.

"He? Who he-!" Sonic was cut off as a huge gust of wind blew from the window and closed the doors and the house began to rumble.

"Wat gwoing won?!" Tikal asked as the toddlers huddled together.

Lucky and Sparky's body/cheeks started sparking and they began to growl.

Flara gasp as she ran and hid behind Flames.

"He's here." Flara said in a soft voice.

Then, a swirling wind appeared in the middle of the room and the toddlers ran to their Pokémon friends and hid behind them. The wind stopped whirling and revealed an odd looking stone in the middle of the library. The toddlers looked at the stone and Knuckles let a small chuckle.

"Pfft! Dat's de ting we were swuppwose two wun away fwom?" Knuckles asked as he still giggled.

Lucky snarled at Knuckles and made him stop laughing real quickly.

"No! It's what's inside that Key Stone you're supposed to be afraid of, child!" Lucky responded with a rashy voice.

Then the stone started to move and caused the toddlers to gasp and the Pokémon got into their fighting stances, except for Flara.

Flara hides behind Vanilla and gave the stone a nervous look.

"Wait! Who bwe in dat Kwey Stwone, Luckwy-!" Tails was cut off as a spirited looking creature appeared from the Key Stone.

"Ahhaha!" It let out an evil chuckle.

"Aaahhhh! A gwhost!" The toddlers exclaimed in fear.

"That's the ghost Pokémon we're trying to warn you kids about! Spirit the Spiritomb!" Bella explained to them.

"How dare you traitors let these mobians trespass on MY home?!" Spirit asked in rage.

"Hey, they didn't mean to wander in here! They're only 2 with two babies, for Arceus' sake!" Louis responded with an angry growl.

"Well, y'all know the rules for tresspassers, once they come in, they can NEVER get out!" Spirit roared and released a dark purple orb to them.

"SHADOW BALL!" Spirit yelled as the orb went to the toddlers.

"LOUIS!" Vanilla yelled in fright as she hugged Vector's arm.

"No! AURA SPHERE!" Louis yelled and a blue orb formed in his paws and he launched it at the Shadow Ball and both moves collided and caused an explosion to happen.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Spirit roared again at Louis' attack.

"I dare very much, thank you!" Louis responded with an angry voice.

"We're never going to let you hurt these children, Spirit!" Bella exclaimed as she growled at the spirit Pokémon.

"Well, you all are going to regret it!" Spirit exclaimed angrily.

Sonic growled as he got on his hands and feet and charged at the Spiritomb and caused the Pokémon to fly back and Sonic flipped and landed back on his fours.

"Nwo meanie wiz gwoing two wurt me fwiends! Awoooooo!" Sonic exclaimed and he howled in triumph.

Spirit got back up and growled at the baby werehog.

"Why you little pipsqueak! I'll show you not to make a fool out of Spirit the Spiritomb!" Spirit exclaimed and his mouth began to glow.

"That's Hyperbeam! Sonic get out of there now! Quickly!" Buddy yelled for the young werehog.

Sonic was too scared to move as he saw what Spirit was doing.

"HYPERBEAM!" Spirit yelled and his move went towards Sonic.

"Nng!" Sonic said as he braced himself for the attack.

"TWIN TAIL TORNADO!" A voice yelled and a power tornado got in front of move and the Hyperbeam attack went inside, spun around and went back to Spirit and knocked into the wall and back into his Key Stone, indicating that he was defeated.

Sonic opened his eyes and saw the stone and gasp and him, the other toddlers and the Pokémon looked and saw Wally with Angel, Charmy and Cream and Chip flying by them behind him.

"ANGWIE! OLLY! CHWARMY! CWEAM! CHIPPY!" The toddlers exclaimed happily and excitedly and ran to them hugged them.

"Thankies fwor swavwing me, Olly! We mwiss wall!" Sonic said as he jumped into Wally's arms and gave him a lick on his cheek.

Wally shivered a little in disgust, but smile.

"No problem, furball! But I warned y'all about coming in this house! I told y'all that this place was haunted!" Wally explained to them in an annoyed voice.

The toddlers whimpered, but Wally sighed in relief that their friends were alright.

"But I'm glad that y'all are safe and sound." Wally said to them with a smile.


Outside of the Mansion, The children and Chip were looking at the Pokémon with smiles.

"We are deeply grateful for you all for protecting my mother and the rest of the kids, Louis." Cream said to the Riolu as she held Vanilla in her arms.

"No problem! We were happy to help you all. But, once Spirit the Spiritomb wakes up, he'll try to get us. So, we can't go back in there." Lucky explained to them.

"Yes, but where will we go?" Bella asked him with a sad voice.

"Hmm... Since y'all protected the children and help them out, and we do have a nice, decent size mansion of our own... Why don't y'all come live with us?" Wally suggested to them.

The toddlers cheered in excitement and kept saying 'yes' several times. The Pokémon giggled at the toddlers' enthusiasm and they nodded.

"Yes. We'll stay with y'all" Sparky said to them.

The toddlers cheered once again and both the older children, Chip, and the Pokémon giggled.

"*Yawns* Cweam me twired." Vanilla said as she rubbed her eye.

"Wand me nweed chwangie, two." Sonia said to her as she pulled her tutu.

Charmy giggled at this.

"Kay! We need to head back home! Let's go!" Charmy exclaimed as he flew off.

"Charmy! Wait up!" Chip exclaimed with a giggle and few after him with everyone else following.

Wally just stood there with a smile on his face and Sonic staying beside him.

"Let's go, Sonic." Wally said to him and they walked off. Then he backed up and saw the readers.

"Hello, you young readers! Hope you all enjoy this story and Happy Halloween! Remember to be safe and if y'all see a scary looking mansion or big house, please don't go in it unless it's fake. Good Night, folks!" Wally explained and left.

Then Sonic appeared and smiled.

"Awoooooo! Dwon't fworgwet two Wead wand Rewvwiew, pwease! Bwye bwye!" Sonic said and he followed Wally and the other children on his fours.
