Chapter 12: Day 11: Aleena's Lullaby. (A Mother's Song owned by TCarterMusic.)
It was late at night in Mobotropolis. Most of Mobotropolis' population was asleep.
At Queen Aleena's castle, Sonic and his siblings and Aleena had just arrived back after a long fight with Eggman and they were all pretty exhausted, "Man, I tell ya, that's the longest battle with Eggman I've ever experienced in a single day." said a droopy-eyed Manic as he slumped to his bedroom.
"Yeah, no kidding." said Sonia as she dragged herself into her room.
"Let me tell ya right now, you two don't know the half of it." said Sonic with a long and dreary yawn.
Aleena chuckled at her son's comment, "Nobody knows it like you, do they, Sonic?" she said.
"Nope." said Sonic in a tired tone just before he fell asleep and almost fell on the floor.
Aleena caught the tired Blue Blur in her arms and carried him to his bed with a smile, "You did good, sweetheart. We all did." she said as she tucked him under the covers, sat down beside him, started stroking his quills, and began to sing a song she heard on the internet to him.
Tying little shoelaces, wiping off dirty faces are just a couple of things that a mother will do.
Mending a broken heart is only just a part of the care and the love that I've given you.
With a Kool-Aid smile and a sparkle in your eyes, I wrap you in my arms and whisper this advice.
Be strong, be kind, be patient and in time, you'll find out, my son, what true love is all about.
Be faithful and be true, show love in all you do, then you'll know just how you make your mother proud.
Now your little boy days have passed, and you've grown up so fast. But in my heart that little boy will never be far.
So on this blessed day, there's so much I want to say. But above all I thank God for the man that you are.
With a tender smile and a twinkle in your eyes, I wrap you in my arms and whisper this advice.
Be strong, be kind, be patient and in time, you'll find out, my son, what true love is all about.
Be faithful and be true, show love in all you do, then you'll know just how you make your mother proud.
You've made your mother proud.
By now, Sonic was asleep with a smile on his face.
Aleena smiled as she leaned over and kissed his cheek, "You and your siblings have made me so proud, Sonic. I love you. Good night, my little prince." she said as she stroked his quills. before walking out and shutting the door to Sonic's room. After bidding Sonia and Manic good night, she went to her room, changed into her pajamas, climbed into bed, and went to sleep.
