Deoji's Voice: Angel's 1st Daycare Blues!


/

In morning of Mobotropolis city, in a a friendly house, in a pink bedroom, a small fox creature was waking up from her night rest and stretches and notice the sun was up and bright.

The creature then noticed the owner of the bedroom and walks up to the owner, which happens to be a magenta mobian rabbit.

The rabbit was a girl and she's 4 1/2 years old and her fur was magenta and the patches on her ears, around her eyes and the tip of her bangs are pink.

She was sleeping soundly with a gray dog creature witha red nose, black pattern face and throat and paws and sleeping with her along with a white puppy like creature with 6 rainbow colored tails and blue pajamas and a yellow fox creature walked over to them.

She climbed on the Rabbit girl's side and licked her cheek, gently and the Rabbit girl giggles as she began opening her pink eyes and looked at the fox creature and chuckles.

Rabbit Girl: Morning, Flare, my baby Fennekin. *Pets Flare's head gently*

Flare: Hehe! Mworning, Mommy Angie! Fware appy twoo swee woo!

Rabbit girl: *Chuckles* It's Angel, Flare. Not mommy. *Looks at the dog and puppy creature, and saw them both beginning to stirr* Hehe. Wake up, Deoji and Rain. It's morning and-!

?: *Peeks in the room* Angel, sweetie. It's time to get up, get your teeth brushed, face wash, and dress up. It's your first day at the All-Star Daycare!

The figure was an older version of Angel. She had light pink fur instead of magenta and her patches and the tip of her bangs and eyes were magenta color. She was no more than 24.

Angel: *saw the older rabbit and nodded* Okay, Mom.

Deoji: *Wakes up and yawns as he stretches* Morning, Marcy.

March: *Smiles* Morning, Deoji. Get ready. Breakfast will be in 5 minutes.

Angel/Deoji/Flare/Rain: *Nods* Kay!/Yip!

Marcy left the room and Angel walked in the bathroom and brushed her teeth, washed her hands and face, walked back to her bedroom and got into her normal clothes.

Angel wore a red T-shirt, a diaper with heart patterns and a pink sleeveless vest with a yellow star that says "Sheriff" on it, pink scarf around her neck, pink cowgirl boots and a pink cowgirl hat with a yellow "A" on it and head downstairs with Deoji, Flare and Rain.


/

Marcy: *Setting up the breakfast table with help from her Arcanine, Puppy* Hello, dears. Here's some breakfast waffles with strawberries.

Angel: *sat in her normal spot* Mmm. My favorite! *began eating hers*

Puppy: So...Excited about your first day at that Daycare, Ange?

Angel: *nodded as she swallow her food* Mm-Hm. Yeah!

Puppy: Wow. That's a surprise.

Deoji: *Looked at Puppy with his mouthful of his waffles* Hmm?

Angel: *fed Flare and Rain a strawberry each* What? What do you mean?

Marcy: *Put up the last of her clean dishes* Oh?

Puppy: *nods to Angel* Mm-Hm. When kids around your age, Angel; that moved to a new area and start a new school or Daycare, are usually scared of going cause the other kids didn't like them.

Angel: *Gulps her food and gives Puppy a little bit of a nervous look* R-Really?

Puppy: Yep.

Marcy: *Gives Puppy a little bit of a stern look* Puppy, please don't start.

Angel gulps nervously as she pushes her plate away from her.

Angel: I think I lost my appetite, mommy.

Marcy: Oh, sweetheart. Don't listen to my Arcanine, Puppy. You'll be fine at your new Daycare.

Angel: Mmm...Kay, Mommy.

Deoji: *Gives Flare and Rain a worried look* Oh, boy.

/

After breakfast, and once they got in the car, Marcy drove out of the driveway and drove off. Angel was sitting in her car seat and looking out the window with a worried look while she held Flare and Rain in her arms and Deoji was sitting next to them.

Marcy was sitting in her drivers seat while Puppy was sitting next to her in the passenger seat.

Marcy: *Adjusts her mirror to see Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain and saw Angle looking out her window and saw how worried she was and looked back on the road* Angie, I know you're worried about these new changes and all, but you can't let that stop you for trying something new.

Angel: I want to try new things, but...This is different than trying new foods or drinks or play with new Pokémon/Creatures or new toys. What if the other kids don't like me? What if I do something silly that'll embarrass me?!

Marcy: *Chuckles* Angel! You won't embarrass yourself. You're a smart and clever girl who is kind to others and help them in anyway. I KNOW you'll be do just fine.

Angel: *Thought about it for a few minutes and sighs and gives Marcy a little bit of a smile* Thanks, Mommy.

Marcy: Welcome, sweetheart.

After a few miles of driving, Marcy found the All-Star Daycare center and found a parking spot, parked there, got out of the car with Puppy and went to help Angel out of her car seat and let her, Deoji, Flare and Rain out and grabbed Angel's hand and walked in the building.

/

Once they walked in, they saw a few of the other parents walking out. They walked down the hallway till Marcy saw 2 very familiar cream color rabbits.

Marcy: Ben! Vanilla!

Vanilla: *saw Marcy and ran over to her hugged her* Marceline! Ooh! It's soo good to see you, old friend!

Marcy: *Chuckles and hugs Vanilla back* It's so good to see you too, kid.

Ben: *walks over and hugs Marcy as well for a sec and let's go and stood next to Vanilla* How you been, Marce?

Marcy: Great. We just moved back here a few days ago. I just registered Angel and her 2 Pokémon friends; Deoji the Poochyena and Flare the baby Fennekin and Baby Rainbow Tail pup, Rain.

Vanilla and Ben looked at Angel, who was hiding behind her mother and giving them concern looks.

Ben: *kneels to Angel's height* Hello, Angel. I'm Ben the Rabbit and this is my youngest kid sister, Vanilla. We're old friends of your mom, Marcy.

Angel: *Looks at him* I-I know. Mom told me about y'all.

Marcy: Sorry, Ben. She was very excited till a certain Arcanine decided to ruin her excitement with a speech on how nervous kids are at their new Daycares.

Puppy: *Gives Marcy a stern look and growls a little bit at her* I wasn't trying to! I was just surprised she wasn't nervous...At least...at the time she wasn't.

Vanilla: *Chuckles* It's fine, Marcy. All new kids are like this at first, but as they start coming here, they'll enjoy it and get use to it.

Marcy: Wonderful! Well, I need to get to work, right Puppy?

Puppy: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Marcy: *kneels down and hugs Angel, who hugs back* I'll see you this afternoon, Angel. You be a good girl for Ben and Vanilla. Kay?

Angel: *Looks at her mother and nodded* Mm-Hm. Yes, Mommy.

Deoji: Don't worry, Miss Marcy. Me, Flare and Rain will watch and help her out.

Vanilla: And me and Ben will keep our eyes on her, too.

Ben: That's for sure.

Marcy: Alrighty. *Kisses Angel's forehead, stood up and walks off with Puppy behind her* Bye, Angel! Bye, Deoji, Flare and Rain!

Puppy: Bye, kids!

Angel: *barley waves at her mother* Bye, mommy.

Deoji/Flare/Rain: Bye/Bye-Bye!

After Marcy and Puppy were no longer in sight, Vanilla looks at Ben and they both nodded and look at Angel and her 2 Pokémon and Rainbow Tail pup friends.

Ben: Well, then. We should take you 4 to meet the rest of the kids here at All-Star Daycare.

Angel: Y-Yes, Sir. *Picks Flare up and held her in her arms*

Vanilla: This way, dears.

Ben and Vanilla walked off and Angel, Deoji, Flare, who was still being held by Angel, and Rain, who jumped on Deoji and followed them.

Angle was still a bit nervous about this whole All-Star Daycare thing.


/

They stopped at a room with a sign that says "Play Room" on it.

Ben: *Looks at Angel* This is the Play Room, Angel. This where you and the other children will play in everyday while y'all are here at the All-Star Daycare.

Vanilla: *Nodded to her big brother* We guess you can call it the Main Room here.

Angel: Oth-Other children?

Ben: Yep. There's about 23 attending already, plus you 4 that's a total of-!

Vanilla: 27 children in all, Ben.

Deoji: Wow! That's a LOT of kids!

Ben: Yep. But, we've been used to it for a couple of years. Most of the kids are 4 1/2 and the youngest ones are 2. And they wear diapers like you as well, Angel.

Angel: R-Really?

Vanilla: Mm-Hm. We have a changing room in across the hall from here.

Ben: There's also a room where you and the other kids take y'alls naps, too.

Angel: Oh. H-Have y'all had any trouble with these kids?

Vanilla: *puts her hand on the door knob* Not really, Angel.

Ben: That's right, Vanilla. You'll see, Angel. *Saw Vanilla open the door* These kids are well beha-!

Their eyes widen big in shock as they saw the kids all wild and all. 2 hedgehog running around the room, a blue boy running away from a pink girl one.

Pink Hedgehog: Get back here, Sonic!

Blue Hedgehog: *Was still running* Get away from me, Amy!

Amy (Pink Hedgehog): All I want is to be with my boyfriend!

Sonic (Blue hedgehog): IM NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!

Another hedgehog that has black fur and red streaks, with an echidna boy laughing at the 2 other hedgehogs

Black and Red Hedgehog: *Tears from his laugh formed in his eyes* Pfft! Hahaha! Oh, man! Looks like Faker is scared of Amy, Knuckles!

Knuckles (Red Echidna): *Formed in his eyes as well from his laugh and pionted at the Sonic running away from Amy* Hahaha! Yeah, Shadow! It's hilarious!

Knuckles: *Stops laughing and gives Shadow a confused look* Umm...What are we laughing about again?

Shadow: *Stops laughing and looks at Knuckles for a few seconds and facepalm* Ugh... Idiot.

A white fur bat girl and magenta hedgehog with pink hair were annoyed by the 2 laughing boys while an orange echidna girl was giving them a confused look.

Orange Echidna: Why were Shadow and my twin brother, Knuckles laughing at those 2, Rouge and Sonia?

Rouge (White fured bat): *Sighs in annoyance* Because, Tikal, they're idiots!

Sonia (Magenta Hedgehog): All boys are, Rouge!

A white colored hedgehog boy was coloring in a color book with a purple cat girl who was drawing something on paper.

White Hedgehog: *Looking at the purple cat* What you drawing, Blaze?

Blaze (Purple cat): *looks at the white hedgehog in surprise and quickly grabbing her paper and looked away blushing, not wanting to white Hedgehog to see her picture* I-It's nothing, Silver! Nothing at all!

Silver: OKay...*went back to coloring*

Blaze's Thoughts: Whew. That was too close.

Blaze smiles at her picture, which was her and Silver playing together.

There was a group of kids playing with the blocks and making tower out of them again, since Sonic and Amy knocked them over earlier.

3 of them were foxes, 2 with 2 tails, one of them being blue instead of yellow and one was a vixen. There was 2 bunnies, too. One that looks like a younger version of Vanilla, the other has light blue fur with red bangs and patches and a small red Chihuahua with wings, tuft of hair, similar to a Growlithe's hair, and in a red-orange full Onesie.

Yellow Fox: *Watches the blue fox add a few blocks* Careful, Wally. We don't need our tower to fall. Again.

Wally (Blue Fox): *Looks back at the yellow fox* I am, Tails!

Tails (Yellow fox): *Gulps a little nervously* Okay, okay.

Light Blue Rabbit: Easy, Wally. Your cousin is just telling you to be careful.

Wally: I am, Bonnie. *Looks at the yellow vixen* Hey, may you hand me that block, Zooey, please?

Zooey (Yellow Vixen): *Nodded* Okay. *Gives Wally a block*

Next to the light blue rabbit girl and blue fox, were 2 Chaos, one was blue and yellow with a red bowtie and a brown and yellow one with a blue bowtie and a Riolu with red shirt and orange scarf and a robo-dog and they were helping the kids build the tower.

Riolu: Ooh. Nice. Looks better than while ago.

Blue/Brown Chaos: Chao, Chao!

Robo-dog: Arf, Arf!

Bonnie (Light Blue Rabbit): Hehe. Thanks, Riley.

Cream Colored Rabbit: *giggles* You too, Cheese and Chocola!

Tails: Same to ya, T-Pup!

Riley (Riolu): Hehe! No problem, Bonnie and Cream!

Cheese (Blue Chao): Chao!

Chocola (Brown Chao): Chao.

T-Pup (Robo-dog): Arf!

Finally, there was a orange and brown badger girl and green hedgehog boy walking over to them and watch them. The badger has a few paint splotches on her, indicating that she was painting.

Orange and Brown Badger: What yally working on?

Green Hedgehog: Yeah.

Cream (Cream color Rabbit): Oh. We're trying to make another Block Tower, Miss Sticks and Mister Manic. *Looks at the Chihuahua Fairy* Right, Mister Chip?

Chip (Chihuahua Fairy): Yeah!

Sticks (Orange and Brown Badger): Oh. Okay.

Manic: (Green Hedgehog): Noice!

Sonic and Amy were still running through the room and they ran through the block tower Wally, Tails, Zooey, Cream, Riley, Cheese, Chocola, T-Pup, Chip were making and Sticks and Manic jumped out of the way.

Tails: *saw their fallen tower* Aw man!

Chip: Not again!

Zooey: *Began crying* WAAAHHH! OUR BLOCK TOWER! WAAAAHHHH!

Wally: Ugh! Sonic! You and Amy knocked our tower over! Again!

Sonic: *Still running from Amy* SORRY, BUT GET THIS GIRL AWAY FROM MEEE!

Amy: Not till you stop running away from me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Ben, Vanilla, Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain sweat drops from this.

Ben: Well, they usually are behaved.

Deoji: Umm..."Usually"? *Sees Rain jump off of him*

Vanilla: *Chuckles nervously* I guess they don't much when we leave them alone for a little bit.

Ben: Heh. Alright, let me get their attention and we'll introduce them to you 3.

Angel: Uh...O-Okay. *Hid behind Vanilla, still holding Flare*

Ben: Heh. *Grabbed his gray color whistle and blew on it twice in a row*

The kids heard Ben's whistle and stopped what they were doing and ran over to them and stood there.

Vanilla: *Smiles at them* Now, children. As y'all remember what we told you all yesterday, we're having 4 new members joining the All-Star Daycare today.

Sonic: Sweet!

Amy/Zooey/Cream: Yay!

Rouge: So, where are they, Miss Vanilla?

Ben: Well...

Vanilla: They're behind me, Rouge. *Looks to see Angel, who put Flare down* It's okay, dearies. Come on out.

Angel: *Poke her head out from behind Vanilla, gulps nervously and walked out from behind Vanilla and stood a few feet from the children. Deoji and Rain joined her and Flare jumped on her shoulder, then head*

Ben: This is Marcy's daughter, Angelina and her Pokémon friends, Deoji the Poochyena and Flare the baby Fennekin and her Rainbow Tail pup, Rain.

Angel: *Was silent as she gave the kids a nervous look*

Deoji/Flare/Rain: Hello/Hi-Hi!

Kids: Hello, Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain!

Ben: Angel's mother, Marcy, happens to be an old friend of mine and Vanilla's and they recently moved here. Angel's pretty nervous about being here on her very first sat, so we want y'all to help her out. Understand?

Kids: Yes, sir!

Vanilla: Wonderful! Y'all help Angel get settled here and we'll be back. *Follows Ben out of the room* Angel's still nervous, big brother.

Ben: *Chuckles* She'll be fine, Vanilla. Promise.


/

In the Playroom, the kids saw Angel and smiles at her. But, it was making Angel a bit uncomfortable.

Deoji: *Nudges her* Go on. Say something...

Angel: *Looks at the kids and remained silent still*

Silver: *Gives her a confused look* You okay, Angel?

Blaze: Maybe she can't talk yet?

Sticks: Maybe her voice was taken by the Voice Taken Aliens! *Ran up to Angel and sniffs her out all around, giving her a suspicious look*

Angel: *Getting even more nervous and a bit uncomfortable by this*

Knuckles: There's Aliens that other people's voices?!

Riley: *Sweat drops a little bit nervous* Well...We don't think that's true, Sticks and Knuckles.

Tails: Anyway, I'm Miles Prower, but everyone calls me Tails. *Pulls Zooey over to meet them* And this is my twin sister, Zooey Prower. *Saw Wally and Riley walked over and stood by him* That's our cousin, Wally Prower and his Pokèmon best friend, Riley Riolu! Also, this I my Robo-dog, T-Pup!

Zooey: *Waves the 4 new members/friends shyly* H-Hi.

Deoji's Thoughts: Wow. That Zooey girl is just as nervous and shy as Angel is now.

Wally: Heya!

Riley: Howdy!

T-Pup: Arf, Arf, Arf! *Pants*

Sonic: *walks over with Manic and Sonia* I'm Sonic Hedgehog and these 2 are my twin sibs, Manic and Sonia!

Deoji: Heh. You 3 are triplets!

Manic: Better believe, dude!

Next, Rouge walked over with Shadow, Silver and Blaze.

Rouge: I'm Rouge the Bat and this is, Blaze the Cat, Silver the Hedgehog.

Shadow: *Crosses his arms and gives Angel a stern look* Hmph...

Flare: *hid behind Deoji and whimper a little bit from Shadow's look* He scware Fware, Oji.

Deoji: What's up with that guy? *Points his paw at Shadow*

Rain: *Gets in a fighting like puppy stance* Yip!

Silver: Oh. Mister Grumpy Hog here is Shadow the Hedgehog.

Blaze: He's always like this.

Deoji: Oh.

Then, Cream, Cheese, Chocola and Bonnie are next.

Cream: *Bows in a princess way* It's very lovely to meet you 3. I'm Cream the Rabbit. And this my very special Chao Friend, Cheese and my mother's Chao, Chocola!

Cheese: Chao Chao! *Waves at them*

Chocola: Chao! *Waves at them as well*

Bonnie: *Does the same bow as Cream did* I'm Cream's cousin, Bonnibel, but call me, Bonnie for short, please. I'll also take Butterfly, too.

Deoji/Flare/Rain: Kay.

Tails: Cream's mom and Bonnie's aunt is Miss Vanilla.

Deoji: Really?

Sonic: Yep. Mr. Ben happens to be their uncle too.

Deoji: Cool!

Chip flew up to the 4 friends and waves at them.

Chip: I'm Chip! Nice too meet you guys! *Flew over to his bag and pulls out a regular size chocolate candy bar and flew back over to them* Want some chocolate? It's good. The wrapper hasn't been opened yet.

Deoji: Ooh! Sounds nice.

Flare: Wummy!

Rain: Yip-Yip!

Angel: *Was a little confused by this, but politely took the bar from Chip and puts it in her bag*

Now, Tikal walked up with Knuckles

Tikal: *Smiles and waved at them* Hello, new friends! I'm Tikal Echidna and this is Knuckles Echidna, my big twin brother!

Knuckles: *was gawking at Angel. His eyes were wide as he admire her cuteness and beauty and gave her a goofy smile as hearts formed around his head and he sighs happily and dreamily*

Tikal: *Gives him a weird and confused look* Knuckles?

Deoji: Is he okay?

Shadow: He's just a big goofy moron. Ignore him.

Tikal: No he's not, Shadow!

Then...

Amy: *Ran up to Angel, startling her* Hiya! I'm Amy Rose the Hedgehog! Sonic the Hedgehog's future girlfriend!

Deoji: Sonic's...Future Girlfriend, huh?

Amy: Yep!

Sonic: Not true!

Angel: *Chuckle a little bit*

Silver: What do ya know. Y'all got Angel to giggle a little bit.

Bonnie: Hehe! That's a start!

Cream: Maybe by the end of the day, we can get Miss Angel to say a few words!

Rouge: Maybe, Cream...

Wally: Okay, guys. Give the new girl and her Pokémon and pup friends a little bit of space now. Don't want the new girl getting all kinds of nervous now.

The kids backed up a little bit for Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain.

Tikal: What now?

Shadow: Hmm...

Sonia: *walked over to Angel* Hmm...*Walks around her, examining her clothes and noticed the heart patterns on her diaper* Ooh!

Deoji: *jumps in shock from Sonia's squeal* What the?!

Sonia: That pattern on your diaper is totes adorbs!

Flare: Huh?

Angel: *Blushes as she looks at her diaper and gives her a weird look and remaining quiet still*

Sonia: I've never seen such cute designs!

Manic: *Groaned in annoyance* Sis, it's just a diaper! There's nothing new with these things.

Sonia: *Gives him a stern look* Oh, Manic! You're just jealous since you have just a plain one!

Sonic: Okay, you two! Break it up and away from the new girl.

Tikal: Sonia is into fashion, Angel. That's why she was interested in the design on your diaper.

Deoji: Oh. That makes sense.

Bonnie: *Notices Angel's outfit* Oh! That's a Sheriff Callie outfit you're wearing! You like that show too, Angel?

Angel: *looks at Bonnie and nods a little bit*

Deoji: Her mom made that outfit for her, Bonnie.

Cream: It looks great on Miss Angel!

Amy/Sonia: Yeah!

Angel just blushes at the compliments she's getting from her outfit.

Sonic: Anyway, Mr. Ben said you and your mom moved here from Crown City, Angel.

Angel: *Nodded in response again*

Tails: Wow! That's pretty far away from Mobotropolis!

Shadow: I heard that Crown City is the richest city in all of Mobius!

Rouge: *Eyes sparkles in awe as she thought about something* I heard it's known for its famous and beautiful jewelery! *Drools a little bit*

?: Oi, Shiela! You're drooling!

?: *Squawk* Rouge is drooling! Rouge is drooling!

The kids saw a raccoon girl walking over to them.

Rouge: *Saw her* I wasn't, Marine and Paulie!

Marine (Raccoon Girl): Yes you were, Rouge!

Paulie (A Chatot): *Squawk* Yes you were, Rouge! Yes you were, Rouge!

Flare/Rain: *giggles*

Deoji: *Chuckles* A Chatot!

Angel: *Gives them a nervous look*

Marine: *Noticed Angel, Flare, Rain and Deoji* Oi, who are these blokes? Never seen them in the All-Star Daycare before.

Paulie: *lands on Marine's shoulder* Never seen before! Never seen before!

Blaze: That's because they're the new arrivals that Mister Ben and Miss Vanilla told us about yesterday, Marine.

Tails: Yeah! This is Angel Rabbit, and her Pokémon friends, Deoji Poochyena and Flare Fennkin! And her pup, Rain!

Cream: They moved here all the way from Crow City, Miss Marine.

Marine: Oh! Well ahoy, mates! I'm Captain Marine and this is my loyal companion, Paulie the Chatot! Just a heads up though, Paulie's a male, not female.

Paulie: *Squawks* Paulie's a male, Paulie's a male!

Blaze: Ugh! Ignore the "Captain" part and just call her Marine.

Deoji: Hehe! Alright! Hello.

Flare: Hi-Hi!

Rain: Yip!

Angel: *Just waved at them nervously*

Marine: Well, Angel? Aren't you going to say "hi" too?

Amy: She's just a bit nervous, Marine. It's their first day here.

Sonic: It may take awhile for her to get used to it.

Marine: Oh..Okay.

Paulie: Kay, Kay!

Tails: Now...Why don't we play!

Kids [other than Angel]: *Cheers* Yeah!

/

A few hours later, it was 11:30 a.m and the kids were playing in different areas of the big play room and mostly in groups. Angel was at a table with just Deoji, Flare, and Rain and they were coloring.

Amy: *was playing tea party with Zooey, Cream, Sonia, Cheese, Chocola, Sticks, Tikal and Rouge* More tea, Rouge?

Rouge: Please, Amy? *Held her cup out to Amy and she pour it in* Thank you. *Sips*

Cream: *saw Angel at the table with her Pokémon friends* Girls, why is Miss Angel all by her lonesome over there?

Rouge: Maybe she likes being with just those 3, Cream.

Sonia: *Sips her tea while she was in a princess dress with a plastic tiara on her head and saw Angel* Still, Rouge...She shouldn't be alone like that.

Zooey: Maybe we can ask her to join us?

Sticks: Yeah!

Amy: Actually, let's leave her alone.

Tikal: *Gives her a confused look* Why?

Amy: Well, we shouldn't rush this. We should just let her get used to being here first.

Sticks/Rouge/Sonia: Agreed.

Cream/Tikal/Zooey/Cheese/Chocola: Kay/Chao!

The girls went back to playing.

Ben and Vanilla walked in the room with a wheelcart with a couple of big trays with a healthy lunch on them. It was PB&J sandwiches, cut into a triangle with a few baby carrot sticks, a few apple slices and a small cup of strawberry Apple sauce and baby bottles of orange juice.

Ben: *Smiles as he grabbed his whistle again and blew on it twice. This got the kids to stop their playing and saw him and Vanilla* Alright, clean up and we'll give y'all today's lunches!

Kids: *Nodded as they began to straighten the room up and once they were done, they sat back in their spots*

Ben and Vanilla smiles as they passed out the lunches to the kids.

Vanilla gave Angel hers first and smaller plates to Deoji, Flare and Rain with a small bowl of orange juice for Deoji and 3 baby bottles for Angel, Flare and Rain. Then she walked over to the next table.

Deoji: *Sniffed the food and smiles* Mmm. Cut triangle shaped pb&j sandwiches with a few baby carrot sticks, which is good for the eyes, a few scrumptious apple slices and a cup of strawberry apple sauce for lunch with orange juice for a drink, too!

Flare: Yum-Yummy in Fware's tum-tummy! *Rubs her belly and licks he lips as she saw her food*

Rain: *Yips in agreement*

Angel: *Giggles a little bit and noticed something off about the sandwich*

Deoji: Hmm? Wha's up, Angel?

Angel: Guys...Mommy usually cuts my crusts off of my sandwiches.

Deoji: Oh, that's right. Marcy usually cuts the crusts off of yours. I'll deal with it! *Gets out of the chair and runs off*

Angel: No, Deoji..

Deoji: *Saw Vanilla put a couple of plates on the table, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Silver were sitting at and ran over to her. He grabbed the bottom of her dress with his mouth and tugged on it*

Vanilla: *felt it and saw Deoji* Yes, Deoji? What is it?

Deoji: *Tries to pull her over to his table* C'mon, Miss Vanilla. We need you at our table, please.

Vanilla: Oh.

Ben: *Noticed this and looked and saw 2 more tables to give the lunches to and smile at Vanilla* Don't worry, Vans. I'll deal with the last 2 tables and you can see what Angel's group wants.

Vanilla: Alright, big brother. *Smiles as she followed Deoji back to Angel and saw them* What's wrong, dearies? *Gets on her knees*

Angel: Umm...*Was hesitating*

Deoji: Marcy usually cuts the crusts off of Angel's sandwiches.

Vanilla: Oh. That's fine, Angel. *Grabs a small knife and cuts the crusts off just like Marcy does* Angel dear, why are you 4 over here and not in a group like the other children?

Angel: *Was silent and just shrugs*

Flare: Mommy Angie no fwiends bwut Oji and Fware and Wain.

Rain: *Nods and Whimpers*

Vanilla: *gives Angel a worried look* No friends yet, huh?

Angel: *Just nodded in response* Y-Yes, ma'am.

Deoji: She can talk to you, Mister Ben and us. But not the other kids yet. But, we're trying to help her, though.

Vanilla: I know y'all are, Deoji. Let me tell you something, Angel. I was nervous too when I went to my first day at daycare, too.

Angel: *Gives Vanilla a surprise look* Really?

Vanilla: *smiles as she finished cutting the crusts off and nodded to her* Mm-Hm. It's called, 1st Daycare Day Blues. That's what your mother always called them.

Deoji: Neat.

Angel: Mmm...H-How'd you get over your 1st D-Daycare Day Blues, Miss Vanilla?

Vanilla: Well, I started by making 1 friend. Then, it just eased up a little bit. But, as the day went by and the more friends I made, the more my 1st Daycare Day Blues went away.

Angel never thought about that, but she smiled and nodded at Vanilla.

Angel: O-Okay, Miss Vanilla. I'll... I'll try to make 1 friend.

Vanilla: *hugs her and gets up* I know you will, sweetie. *Walks off, but stops and looks back* As my mother used to say; "1 friend is better than no friends, 1 friend is plenty".

Angel: *Smiles as she began eating her lunch*

Deoji/Flare/Rain: *Began eating theirs, too*

/

30 minutes later, the kids were in the other room Ben and Vanilla were telling Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain earlier. It was the Nap Room, which was next door to the Changing Room.

Ben: *Finished setting up a sleeping mat for Angel and looks at her with his gentle, wam smile* Here you go, Angel. From 12 p.m to 12:30 p.m is nap time.

Angel: *Nodded as she yawns*

Ben: Hehe. Perfect timing, too. *Picks her up and lays her on her mat and covers her up*

Flare ran under the blanket and pokes her head out, laying next to Angel and yawns cutely as Deoji was sleeping above the mat and Rain lays on Angel gently and all 4 of them went to sleep, but we're waken up by a whining sound.

Sonic: Noo! No nap, Miss Vanilla! I want to plaaay!

Vanilla: *sighs* Sonic, we're not going through this again, sweetie. All of you take your naps for 30 minutes and please keep your voice down. Everyone else is sleeping.

Sonic: *Stomps his feet* No naps! I'm not slee-! *Yawns* Sleepy.

Ben: *chuckles as he shook his head and walked over to the microwave on the countertop of the room and heats up a bottle in there for a minute, took it out, checked it and walked over to Sonic and picks him up and pops the bottle in his mouth* Ssh. Just calm down, kid.

Sonic: *suckles on the bottle slowly and was calming down as his eyes were getting heavy*

Angel: *Was amazed on how well Ben got Sonic to calm down*

Deoji: He's good.

Flare: Weally gwoodie.

Rain: Mm-hm.

The 4 friends fell back asleep.

Ben: *burps Sonic and layed him on his mat, tucks him in and pops a light blue pacifier in his mouth* Now, get some rest, buddy. *Gently rubs Sonic's head*

Sonic: *Purrs as he suckles on his pacifier, nodded and fell asleep immediately*

Ben: *smiles as he got up and looks at Vanilla with a smirk, and she was smiling at him with an arch eye and her arms crossed* Hehe! I told a while back that I'm good.

Vanilla: *chuckles as she followed Ben out of the room*

Once they left, Knuckles opened one eye and saw that Ben and Vanilla weren't in the room anymore and saw everyone else still asleep. He got up and took his sleeping mat and dragged it, his pillow and his blanket over to where Angel was sleeping.

Angel: *heard this and woke up and saw Knuckles settling down*

Knuckles: *Saw her awake and put his finger to his mouth, shushing her so everyone else can rest*

Angel: *Nodded and fell back asleep*

Knuckles: *Smile as he fell asleep too*

After nap time and the kids' diapers were changed, it was Recess time. Ben and Vanilla led the babies outside to a big playground with big slides, even twisty ones, swings, a huge sandbox, a monkey gym, clubhouse with climbing rocks that's part of it.

Ben: Okay, kids. Y'all remember the rules of the playground?

Sonic: No throwing sand at anyone at the sandbox!

Amy: Don't jump off of the swings, no matter what!

Manic: No pushing or shoving or rough housing!

Tikal: No fighting!

Ben: Yep! If any of you break ANY of those rules?

Knuckles: We get a prize?

Kids [Other than Angel, Deoji, Flare and Rain]: *Facepalm* Ugh! No!

Tails: We get a timeout, Knuckles.

Knuckles: Oh, right.

Shadow: *Had his arms crossed and sighs as he heard Knuckles' response* Tch. Idiot.

Vanilla: Alright, children. Go and play now!

The kids ran and play at the playground. Angel couldn't figure out where to play at till she saw no one at the swings yet and ran over to them. She jumped on one of them and began to swing a little bit slowly.

Knuckles: *was climbing on the other side of the Rock Climbing Playset and noticed that Angel was having a little trouble swinging, so he climbed down and walked over to her*

Deoji, Flare and Rain watched Angel trying to swing from a few feet away.

Deoji: Ya know, Ange. It'll be easier for you to swing if you had someone, other than us, to push you.

Angel: I know, I know. *Sighs* I wish it was easy to make friends.

Deoji: One kid here will come to you eventually and be your new friend.

Angel: Hope you're right, Deoji.

Suddenly, Angel felt something push her and noticed she was being swung higher and higher.

Angel: Uh, Deoji, Flare, Rain...Are one of you pushing me?

Deoji: *Shook his head* Nope.

Flare: *Shook her head, too* Fware no pushie Mommy Angwie.

Rain: *Shook his head* Nu-Uh!

Angel: Then... Who's-! *Looked behind her and saw Knuckles pushing her* You! *Jumps off the swing out of shock and flew* Waaaaahhh!

Angel landed in the sandbox, making some of the other kids gasp in surprise and shock.

Knuckles: *Gasps in shock and ran over to her*

Ben and Vanilla witnessed this and ran over to the sandbox.

Vanilla: Oh, my goodness! Angelina, are you alright?!

Angel: *sat up and shook the sand off of her fur* Y-Yeah. I-I-I think so, Miss Vanilla.

Sonic: Well, at least we know Angel can talk.

Sticks: So, no Voice Taker Aliens took her voice?

Amy: That's right, Sticks.

Shadow: Pfft! That sure was hilarious to watch! AHAHAHAHA!

Rouge: *Glares atbthe back and red Hedgehog* Shadow! That isn't funny!

Chip: Rouge is right! Angel could've been seriously hurt!

Angel: *looks up at everyone, blushes a little bit and sniffling* Mmm...I DON'T LIKE DAYCARE! I WANNA GO HOME! *Hic* I WANT MY MOMMY! *She ran off crying and hid in the clubhouse*

Knuckles: Angel, wait! *Follows her*

Deoji/Flare/Rain: *Follows him*

Ben: What happened, guys?

Sonic: Well...

As Sonic explained to Ben and Vanilla on what happened, Knuckles ran to the playground clubhouse and climbed till he saw Angel at the top, sitting, holding Flare gently and cried silently.

Knuckles: *Felt bad about what happened and crawls in the big part of the clubhouse and walked over to Angel and saw an empty space open* Umm...Is this seat taken?

Deoji: *saw him and snarls at him* Why?! So you can try to hurt and humiliate her again?!

Rain: *Gets in the same position as Deoji, glaring at Knuckles as well* Grr!

Knuckles: *was getting nervous* Eesh...

Angel: *Saw Knuckles and saw this* Down, Deoji and Rain.

Deoji: *Heard Angel's command and obeyed her* Yes, Angel. *Sit on his rear*

Rain: *Whimpers and lays on all fours*

Knuckles: *Sighs in relief and sat next to her* Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened to you. I just saw you having trouble with the swings and thought you liked some help.

Angel didn't know what to say to Knuckles. Everyone keeps calling him an idiot or moron, but he seems more gentle than she thought.

Angel: Th-Thank you. *Puts Flare down*

Knuckles: *Perks up* Hmm? For what?

Angel: *Blushes tint* For helping m-me out.

Knuckles: *smiles and nodded* No problem, Angel.

Angel thought about something that Vanilla said earlier to her.


/

Vanilla: As my mother used to say; "1 friend is better than no friends, 1 friend is plenty".


/

Angel: *Looks at Knuckles and smile a little bit* Knuckles?

Knuckles: *pets Flare's head and looks at Angel* Yes, Angel?

Angel: W-Would y-you...WOULDYOULIKETOBEMYFRIEND?

Knuckles: *Gives her a confused look at what she just said* Hah?

Deoji: *Understand what Angel just said* Say it again, but more calmly and confidently

Angel: *Takes a deep breath and calms down* Knuckles...W-Would you like to be my friend?

Knuckles: *Smiles widely* You serious? You want me, to be your friend?

Anhel: *Nodded* Mm-Hm.

Deoji/Flare/Rain: Yes/Wes!

Knuckles: Yes! I love-like! To be your friend, Angel.

Angel: *Smiles at this and hugs him* Thank you so, so much!

Knuckles: *Blushes deeply by this and sighs happily a little bit* No problem, Angel~! *Breaks the hug and gets out of the clubhouse and looks at Angel* We should head back to the others.

Angel: Yeah...Let's go, Deoji and Flare. *Follows Knuckles*

Deoji: Wow! I thought Angel was going to stay upset. Glad it worked out, eh Flare?

Flare: Fware wikey Knuckie, Oji!

Rain: Yip!

Deoji: Me too, Flare and Rain. Me too. *Follows Flare, Knuckles and Angel back to the others*

Angel, Knuckles, Deoji, Flare and Rain saw the others with Ben and Vanilla, which both had relieved looks on their faces.

Vanilla: Angel, you okay, sweetie?

Angel: *Nods* Yes, Miss Vanilla. I'm fine and Knuckles is my new friend!

Ben: *Looks at him, smiles and nods* That's great to hear, Ange.

Vanilla: *Smiles happily* I'm proud of you, sweetie.

Angel: Hehe!

Later around 2:55, the kids were playing in the big playroom again. Angel was playing with Knuckles and the others a safe game of freeze tag by crawling around th room instead of running and Angel was it and tagged everyone except Sonia.

Angel: *Giggles as she crawls after Sonia and touched her foot* Gotcha!

Sonia: *Froze in place* Aww, man!

Angel: Woo-Hoo! I win!

Amy: *was frozen in place* You did! Now...Can we unfreeze, please?

Angel: Yep!

The kids sighs in relief as they were able to move freely again and they giggle.

Marine: Oi, mates! That was great!

Riley: I definitely had fun!

Angel: Me, too!

Ben and Vanilla came in the room with Marcy and Puppy.

Ben: *Grabbed his whistle and blew it twice*

Kids: *Look at Ben*

Ben: Alright, babies. Get your stuff. It's Parent pick up time!

Angel: *Saw Marcy and Puppy* Mommy! *Ran over to her and jumps in her arms*

Marcy: *Smiles widely as she caught her daughter in her arms* Oh, my little Angel! How did it go?

Angel: Better! *Ran over to the other kids* Look, mommy! Look at all the friends me, Deoji, Flare and Rain made!

Marcy saw the kids and smiles warmly at this.

Marcy: How wonderful!

Angel: Mommy, can me and my Pokèmon and pup friends come back tomorrow, pretty please?

Marcy: *Smiles at Ben and Vanilla and looks back at her* Of course, sweetie!

Kids: *Cheers*

Cream: *Hugs Angel and her tail wags back and forth happily, too* Yay! Miss Angel is going to be staying with us!

Angel: *giggles* Oh, Cream! *Hugs the younger bunny back*

Tails/Wally/Chip/T-Pup: *Flying*

Marine: Yay!

Paulie: Yay! Yay! *Squawks*

Amy: That's great!

Knuckles: Hehe.

Sonic: Welcome to the gang, Angel!

Angel: Not gang, Sonic. Family.

Tails: True dat!

Wally: Haha!

Rouge: Another girl on the team!

Silver: *Floats with Blaze* Hehe!

Blaze: *was afraid of heights and was freaking out* Aah! Silver Hedgehog put me down!

The children laughed and Silver put Blaze down, who kissed the ground several times.

Marcy: Hehe! Let's go, sweetie!

Angel: Kay, mommy! *Grabs her bag and follows her mom out with Deoji, Flare and Rain and waves at the others*

Now, Angel finally had a place where she had more friends then she ever expected. A place that she can call her second home and her new family.
