Chapter 2: Meeting Cream
"Hurry up Ms. Amy, They'll be here any minute!" An anxious young rabbit called to a pink hedgehog. Hovering slightly above the Cream-coloured rabbit was a blue creature called a chao. This one, named Cheese, sported an orange-red bow-tie.
"I'm coming Cream" the hedgehog in pink named Amy Rose, called back.
The past couple of days with Amy had been quite fun. They went shopping, they stayed with Tails for a day, they went shopping again, they rented movies (romance for Amy, cartoons for Cream and "Chao in Space" for Cheese), they went to Twinkle park, and they shopped some more. Now However, Cream was beginning to miss her mom.
Now that she thought of it, it had only been her mother, Cheese, and her. Now someone else who she barely knew was going to live with them for a month. Cream had seen them from the photos in her family's album, but she only remembers meeting her aunt, uncle and their three children once before. She was very young at the time, only three years old. She was now six, but it was still quite a long time.
There was Aunt Chocolate, she was Vanilla's younger sister. She was in many ways like her own mother, but her hair and fur were a little darker. In the photos that Cream remembers seeing, she wore a blue satin dress that was similar to her mother's.
She also remembered seeing photos of her Uncle Nutmeg. He wore Horn-rimmed glasses that made him seem slightly nerdy, but really smart as well. Vanilla had told Cream many times that he was an archaeologist.
Cream also remembered her three cousins. The oldest was Chip. His hyperactivity and attitude could have rivalled a certain blue hedgehog. Indeed, he was quite the hellraser. One of the few memoires that Cream herself had of her extended family was being thrown into mud by Chip. Chip was only six years old at the time, so now he was probably nine, according to Cream's math.
The youngest of the family was Cinnamon. She was only a tiny baby in the photos that the young rabbit remembered. One particular photo depicted a three year-old Cream holding baby Cinnamon. The last one Cream remembered was Cookie. Oddly enough, while there were plenty of photos of the rest of her family, none of them had Cookie facing the camera, she was either facing the wrong way, cut off or entirely absent. It was almost as if she didn't want her photo taken...
"Cream... Earth to Cream... Hello?"
Suddenly Cream snapped back into reality. She just remembered that she was in the train station with Amy. Amy was staring at her.
"Cream? You just zoned out for a few seconds there" Amy said with a look of concern
The young rabbit sighed "I'm sorry Ms. Amy, I was just anxious about what Cookie would be like."
"Aw, don't be so worried" Amy assured Cream "I'm sure she isn't so bad."
At that moment, the Emerald Express arrived. They'll soon find out what Cookie is really like.
