Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog, otherwise Silver would have a bigger role.

I was laying on my bed, enjoying the Adventures of Rob 'O the Hedge: the complete series, when the door burst open. I sat upright immediately, staring at the people that filed in. First was Cream, then Bunny, who was followed by the chipmunk. "Alright," said the chipmunk, "We have decided that you have earned the privilege to go outside." I perked up right away.

"However, we're going to take your hover skates." I didn't care, I was going outside! As I bent down to undo my skates, Bunny left the room. She came back a few moments later with a pair of military boots. I got the skates off my feet and grabbed the boots and fresh socks that she grabbed. It was short work to lace up the boots.

"Oh, and you are not going to like this." she said with a sweet smile. I immediately got suspicious at her sugar sweet tone. The door opened, and that stupid blue hedgehog came in. I jumped up in an outrage. "What is he doing here!?" I cried. Sonic groaned and said, "I'm gonna be your guard for the day. Did you seriously expect us to let you go out by yourself?" I pouted. I had hoped that it would, at the most, be Bunny and Cream following me. "Don't feel sad, Ms. Dusk." Cream piped up. "I'll go with you!" I grinned. Today was gonna be fun.

Cream grabbed me by the hand and pulled me out the door. We soon ended up in the large room that Shadow teleported us into when I first arrived. It was empty. She kept pulling me by the hand, leading me to a door I hadn't seen before. She opened it, and pulled me into the light of day.

Blinking my eyes at the at the sudden light, I stopped for a moment, to let my eyes adjust. When my eyes adjusted, I took a look around. We were in the middle of nowhere, but I could see a burned forest nearby. Cream pulled me in the opposite direction, smiling hugely. Cheese the Chao was going crazy around our heads, and I could hear Sonic behind us, laughing his head off.

Sonic came up to us and asked Cream, "So, we going to... You know?" "Yes, we are, Mr. Sonic." "Well then. I could make it a quick trip." He replied. I tuned out then, paying attention to the beautiful scene around us. I snapped back to reality when the blue hedgehog picked me up. "What are you doing!? Put me down!" I cried in his face, pretty ticked off. Cream hovered around us calmly, Cheese on her shoulder. "Mr. Sonic is going to run us there. We can spend a lot longer there!"

I groaned loudly. Sonic said, "Hang on tight." I gave him a dirty look as I wrapped my arms around his neck. He grinned lazily at me, clearly enjoying himself. He took off, Cream somehow managing to keep up. As much as I didn't like Sonic, I was enjoying myself. It had been awhile since I felt the wind in my quills, and the elation I felt when I was going fast was missed, greatly.

We soon came to a stop at the most beautiful valley I had ever seen. There was a meadow that wrapped around a picturesque lake. The meadow had every kind of flower that you could think of. Cream landed next to me and took a deep breath. She glanced at me and asked, "It's beautiful, isn't it?" "It is. It really is." I replied, still taking it in.

I headed for the lake and looked in. It was very clear, and when I put my hand in, the water was warm. I looked around again. This was paradise in every way. I looked over at Sonic, to see him staring at me with a very disgusted look on his face. I remembered that he was hydrophobic, and a very evil idea came to me. When he turned to check on Cream, I quickly splashed him. He yelled and jumped about 3 feet in the air. His sour face set me off.

"What was that for!" he yelled. I decided to just take a page out of Shadow's book and smirked at him, using my very effective death glare at the same time. He held my gaze for a few seconds, then looked away. "Dang, you are a lot like him." he muttered.

Cream came over, holding something behind her back. She looked at me and said sweetly, "Close your eyes, and no peeking." I did what I was told, wondering what was up. I felt something being placed around my neck and on my head. "You can open your eyes now." Cream said. I opened them, and Cream steered me to the lake.

I looked at myself. I was wearing a necklace of flowers, with a crown to match. The flowers were purple, blue and white, which looked pretty nice. I said, "Excuse me for a moment." I walked over to are I had seen some nice roses and other flowers, and got to work. A few minutes later, I was done. I made sure there was no thorns again, then went to present it to Cream. She gasped when she saw the flower crown. I used the rose stems to give it a shape, and covered everything with white tulips and purple lilies. The soft pink roses peeked out, huge and beautiful.

I placed it on her head and said, "You look like a princess." She smiled and said, "Thank you." Sonic came over and said, "Hey, its getting dark. We need to head back." I sighed and asked if I could walk. Sonic ignored me and picked me up, waiting until I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I hate you" I grumbled as we took off. He grinned and said, "Well, you're the first girl to say that. Guess their is a first time for everything, huh?" Before I could reply, he sped up, and we were at our destination in no time.

I was taken back to my room and left to my own devices. I groaned and flopped onto my bed; I didn't even bother to take the shoes off. They were really comfortable. I was more tired then I thought, though, cause before I knew it, I was falling asleep.
