Chapter 4: Breakfast with Rabbits
"SONIC!" The shout resonated throughout the thick forests that covered the island. Once Sonic was a safe range away from the angry echidna he sighed out of relief,
"Man that was close…For a second there I thought he was going to kill me…"
"Who was going to kill you, Sonic?" a voice said out of nowhere. The blue hedgehog jumped. Where had that voice come from. After analyzing the surroundings carefully and not seeing any other animals, Sonic laughed nervously,
"Ahehe…I'm just probably tired…there was no voice…Get it together man…"
"Are you denying my presence?" Sonic shrieked, as Galexia walked out from the shadows. Sonic pointed at her in shock,
"You're Rosy's chao..and you can talk!?" Galexia looked at Sonic like he was an idiot.
"Dummy, I'm communicating with you through telepathy! Chao can't talk!" She then smiled mischiviously, "Or can they?" She flew up, so that she had eye contact with Sonic, "I know everything, and I'm not afraid to tell Rosy or the twins…" Sonic blanched, "All you have to do is admit your secret…" a crowbar appeared out of nowhere, and the white hero chao began to hold it in a threatening manner, "And no one will get hurt…" Sonic gulped. Suddenly, Roseanne's voice could be heard,
"Galexia! Where are you?" The magenta hedgehog called as she stepped into the same clearing where Sonic was.
"Oh! Hi Daddy! Hi Galexia! Come on and lets go!" Roseanne said happily, that she had found her chao, "Tails is waiting for you guys!" she giggled as she grabbed her dad's hand and dragged him through the forest. Sonic snuck a side glance at Galexia, who had now put away her crowbar and glared at Sonic, before continuing to chat happily with Rosy. After walking for a couple of minutes, they reached the X-Tornado and Tails. Flash and Dash were arguing about who was faster again while Tails was in a daze. Roseanne waved at the boys,
"Everybody! I found Daddy! Now lets go!" Flash and Dash instantly stopped arguing and Tails was shaken out of his daze,
"Come on Papa! We're gonna be late for breakfast!" Dash said as he quickly jumped into the plane. Flash nodded and also jumped into the plane.
Sonic smiled,
"Yeah yeah, don't worry. They won't start without us." Roseanne smiled,
"I wonder what Cream's made today…" Sonic looked surprised, Vanilla is the one making us breakfast, not Cream…so why do they keep on mentioning Cream? Tails also looked surprised at the continuous mentioning of Cream instead of Vanilla but didn't say anything either.
Once everyone was strapped into their seats and ready to go, Tails turned on the plane. The engine rumbled as the group took off into the air, leaving the lush forests of Angel Island behind. Rosy and Galexia stared in awe at the clouds in the sky while Flash and Dash were engulfed in an intense battle of rock, paper, scissors. Finally after 20 minutes in the air, the plane began to descend.
"Hey guys! I can see Cream's…house…" Flash said suddenly before tapering off. Something was wrong about this. Cream didn't live in a brown hut…maybe she was redecorating?
"Hey Uncle Tails?" Dash called from the back seat, "Why does Cream's house look so different?" Tails gulped,
"Uh…she's staying at Vanilla's house while her house is…uh…being redecorated?" Roseanne smiled,
"Ah that makes sense…" Tails breathed a sigh of relief, before landing the plane in a yard next to the Rabbit household. The twins and Roseanne jumped out of the plane once it was safely parked on the ground. Sonic stylishly jumped off of the wing and landed fashionably. Roseanne, Flash and Dash each held up signs that read 10, while Galexia held up a sign that read 8.5. The blue hedgehog scowled. The white chao stuck her tongue out at him in reply. Tails cleared his throat to get Sonic and the kids' attention.
"Alright guys, here are some ground rules. Numero Uno…" Tails said as he glared at the twins, "No fighting. Numero Duos, eat with manners, and Flash that means no eating like a mad man." Dash snickered at his twin while Flash just kicked the dirt path and grumbled, "Numero Tres…" Tails gulped, "Cream is going to look a bit younger…but its just part of an experiment that she's testing for me. Its top secret so you can't say anything about it, alright?" The twins saluted,
"We understand Uncle Tails! No fighting, eat with manners and don't talk to Cream!" Sonic sweat-dropped,
"…close enough, Now lets go eat guys!" Sonic said as he rushed to the door. The kids cheered before running to the Rabbit household.
Tails held back for a moment, "This is all going to blow up in my face…" before racing to catch up with the others.
.:In the Future at this Time:.
"Hey Rosy! Flash? Dash? Are you guys in here?" a small seedrain child asked as she peeked through the doorway, "You guys know you're not supposed to be in my dad's lab…" the seedrian trailed off. Said seedrian was a pale peach color and had green bangs that covered her forehead. She had clear blue eyes and also had two golden sunflowers on the side of her head. She wore a white and blue long sleeved jacket over a lavender dress complete with lavender shoes. The lab looked destroyed. There were broken fuses sparking with electricity, the lights were all but out and a small fire was in the trash can. The seedrain gasped,
"Dad! Something happened to Roseanne, Flash and Dash!" the girl shouted before running off to find her father.
She didn't have to run long.
Her father was sitting in the living room, talking with her Uncle Sonic.
"So, Ames is off with Cream, Marine, and Tikal for a girls day out. They all wanted to see a movie…I think the Exterminator?" Tails laughed,
"No Sonic, its the Terminator. I heard it was good." Sonic scratched the back of his head,
"Well whatever, I' m not into chick flicks,"
"Sonic its not a chick-flick…I've actually heard that it was really good- Hi Sun, what's up?" Tails said as he spotted his daughter in the door way. However her expression was fearful and scared, "What's wrong Sun?" Tails said as he began to stand up. Sun ran to embrace her father,
"Dad! Its Rosy, Flash and Dash! They've gone missing! And you're lab is in ruins!" Tails eyes widened, while Sonic's mouth dropped,
"WHAT?!"
Sun began to break into tears, "Flash and Dash ran into your lab and Rosy went to go and get them. They didn't come out for a while so I went to go and look for them, but your lab was destroyed," the girl hiccupped. Sonic's eyes were wide with fear as he raced to the lab. Tails hugged his daughter tightly,
"Sunflower, I need you to go find your brother and wait in your room okay?" Sun wiped her face of her tears before nodding, her dad only called her by her real name only when something was serious.
"Okay dad." She said before racing off to find her brother.
Sonic was at the lab instantly, and was shocked at the devastating state of the lab. He rushed into the room without a second fault and instantly began to search for his kids,
"Roseanne! Nick! Jake! Answer me!" Sonic shouted as he checked underneath piles of broken metal and shards of glass, "Shout if you're alright!" Sonic's hands were shaking. Where were his kids? "Roseanne! Nicholas! Jacob!" Sonic screamed. He had triple checked the entire room, but his children were hedgehog sunk to the ground, his face in his hands, "No…"
.:Back in the Past:.
Flash, who reached the door first, rapidly knocked, "Open open open up, Cream!" Dash, who reached the door second, pushed his brother out of the way and began to knock faster,
"Stop hogging the door Flash!" Dash complained as he knocked faster. Roseanne walked up to the twins and bashed their heads together,
"Stop it you guys! Don't you remember what Uncle Tails just said?"The pitter patter of footsteps could be heard, as a rabbit neared the door. The door opened and the twins saw Vanilla's face. Their happy expressions soon turned to ones of shock.
Was that…Vanilla?
"A-Auntie Vanilla?" The three children gasped in unision. But…but that couldn't be right, the twins pondered, after all…Isn't Auntie Vanilla…dead? Vanilla looked shocked and looked to Sonic and Tails for clarification.
'I'll explain later!' Sonic mouthed, 'Just don't say anything'. Vanilla still shocked and confused, reverted back into "Mother mode"
"Hello dearies! I've only set the table for four, but I'm sure we could feed three more mouths!" The older rabbit smiled. The twins, still in shock, nodded dumbly,
"Yeah…" They murmured as they shuffled into the house. Roseanne's mouth was still gaping,
"Galexia," she whispered, "That can't be Auntie Vanilla, right? That looks like the way she looked before the accident!" Galexia said nothing, as she just stared at the rabbit. This all added to her theory. Sonic had to tell the kids the truth. Roseanne turned to face her father and Uncle Tails, who were looking mighty shifty,
What's going on here…? Roseanne thought to herself as she walked inside of the house, What happened once we broke Tails' machine? Sonic and Tails walked into the house and smiled awkwardly,
"H-Hey Vanilla! Sorry for being late…you don't mind the extra guests do you?" Vanilla gave them an odd glare,
"No not at all. Children are always welcome here," she then looked Sonic in the eye, "But I will demand for an explanation later," she then turned away from the hedgehog, who let out a sigh of relief. "Cream! It's time to come downstairs! Breakfast is ready and Sonic and Tails are here!" Vanilla called as she walked towards Cream's bedroom.
Vanilla opened the door only to find Cream and Cheese still asleep. The mother rabbit smiled gently as she nudged her daughter,
"Cream it's time to get up. Sonic and Tails are here for breakfast!" Cream's eyes widened at the mention of Tails.
"T-Tails is here already?!" Cream gasped before realizing that her mother was there, "I-I mean *yawn* I'm so tired…five more minutes…" Vanilla giggled,
"Come on dear, breakfast is getting cold." Cream groaned,
"Alright mother, I'm coming," the young rabbit moaned as she stepped out of the warmth and comfort of her bed. Cheese groggily woke up, after realizing that Cream had left the bed. "After all its been a while since I've seen Tails! I wonder how he's doing." Vanilla gave her daughter a comforting hug,
"I'm sure that Tails has been doing fine. But hurry, we also have three new guests!" Cream's ears perked up,
"Three new guests?" Vanilla laughed,
"Yes, and look just about your age!" Cream gave a wide smile,
"Wow! I haven't met anyone else my age besides Charmy and Marine! And Tails of course."
"Well then you'd best hurry down to breakfast then!" Cream nodded happily,
"Alright Mother! Come on Cheese!" Cream said as Vanilla exited the room. Cheese yawned once more before sleepily following the young rabbit as she went to get dressed. Vanilla walked back into the kitchen, only to find that Roseanne had already set three more place settings,
"Thank you dear." Vanilla said as she smiled at the magenta hedgehog,
"No problem! After all I always set the table for Mommy." Vanilla ruffled the girls quills in a motherly fashion,
"Well then your mother must be very lucky." Roseanne smiled a sad smile,
"Yeah…" That felt the same way Auntie Vanilla used to ruffle my quills… Galexia patted Roseanne on the shoulder in a comforting way, "Thanks Galexia,"
Flash and Dash were already sitting at the table,
"Come on! When do we get to eat!" Flash moaned.
"Yeah…my stomach is dying!" Dash agreed in an exaggerated manner. Vanilla laughed,
"Hold on. We just have to wait for my daughter Cream."
"Sorry for keeping you waiting!" Cream said as she and Cheese walked into the room. Roseanne, Flash and Dash all dropped their utensils. Uncle Tails said that she had made Cream younger, but this…this was almost their age! Cream looked at the three hedgehogs and bowed, Cheese did the same.
"My name is Cream. Nice to meet you,"
