Few days later...
A knock..
Sonic walked up and opened the door. He saw Knuckles.
"Hey Knuckles, What're you doing here?" He asked.
Knuckles without answering. Walked in, Sonic shut the door behind him.
"Where's Cream?"
"She and Amy are watching TV...Amy thought it would help her forget about...you know.." Sonic nudged.
Knuckles looked around the room.
"So...how's she likeing this place?" He asked.
"She said its nice, but its not exactly like home." Sonic answered.
Knuckles jumped on Sonics.bed laying down on his soft pillow.
"You seem really worried about her." Sonic said scratching his head.
Knuckles did a small nod.
"Why are you so concirned?"
Knuckles sat up and looked out the window. "I do feel bad for Cream...but..I didn't want her living here." He said,
Knuckles finally got Sonics attention and sat next to him. "Why?" He asked,
Knuckles turned to the curious hedgehog. "Because...I wanted her to live, with me. At the Emerald shrine." He said, some slight red went across his face. Sonic sat there puzzled by Knuckles's comment, then he burst out laughing.
"Ahahahahaa! That is SO funny!" He said rubbing tears from his eyes. Knuckles looked confused at Sonic wondering what's so funny.
"How is this so funny? I'm serious." He added.
Sonic snapped back to normal and faced Knuckles again with a serious look. "Wait, You are really serious?" He asked again.
Knuckles nodded.
"Ahaa, You love Cream don'tcha." Sonic joked. He elbowed Knuckles.
"I do not. I just think Cream needs a safer place to stay." He said completely stammering.
"What better place to stay then in an appartment? Face it echidna. You just want her to live with you cause you think she's cute." Sonic teased. Some more red went around Knuckles's face.
"Shutup!" He yelled.
Sonic fell backward laughing some more. The door smacked open with an angry pink hedgehog at the door.
"You guys shut the heck up! I'm trying to watch the news!" Amy yelled.
"Hey Amy! You wont believe what Knuckles told me!" Sonic chuckled.
"Sonic shutup! He's lying! I didn't say anything!" Knuckles panicked.
Amy had an interesting look on her face, she felt the news can wait and wanting to know what was going on.
"Oh really? C'mon then what is it?" She asked.
Knuckles was waving his arms around getting her attention, but Amy was focusing on her true loves words.
"Knuckles loves Cream! Isn't that hillarious?" Sonic laughed. "Sonic the whole town might hear you!" Knuckles shouted,
Amy stood there puzzled. "Wow Knuckles, I didn't even know you could care." Amy said in a jokeing matter.
"I told you he's lying!" Knuckles cried.
"It's okay Knuckles, It's cool you have a small crush on Cream." Amy said in her careing voice.
"But I told you I don't!" He yelled. Turning red some more. But not blushing, In anger.
Amy nodded. "Ok Knucky. Say what you want, But I think its sweet." Amy said smiling.
Knuckles slowly turned to Sonic in anger and disturbence. "I hate you..." He whistpered.
Later that same evening
Cream just got out of the shower and walked into Sonic and Amy's room. She knocked on the door slightly.
"Yes?" A voice called out form the room.
"It's me Cream!" She yelled.
"We're kinda busy!" Amy yelled back.
Cream knew what was going on but she didn't feel like yelling back, rudely. Amy laughed while hanging with Sonic.
So Cream slept downstairs alone. She felt so alone, She could remember her mother rapping her up in her arms keeping her warm and safe. She remembered the times when she was really scared and had no where to turn but her mother, and Cheese. Oh how she missed Cheese alot, She would do everything with him, they would walk in the park as a family. And even thought Cream wouldn't mind on not having a father, She would always have a mother,
She laid there helplessly crying over the warm of the couch looking out the window. Sonic and Amy were asleep now and Cream fell asleep a few hours later. But, she woke up to something unpleasent...
After a few hours more she woke up from the nightmare she had of her mother, She came back to life and haunted her as a frightful black ghost with beaming red eyes that would shoot off at her. She got up and rapped her coat around her. She didn't want to wake Sonic and Amy up in the middle of the night so she walked out into the streets for a while. She was tired of being alone, but she knew exactly where she was going,...
Mystic Ruins
She walked off the train and onto the steps. She walked down slowly (being so dark and not able to see a thing!) She deicded to fly to her location. She flew threw the caves and flew down to the Master Emerald shrine. She saw a red echidna laying down on his thrown glowing from the moon light. She slowly walked up approching the red angel..
