Chapter 5: Time Space Thingie

"My name is Cream. Nice to meet you," The three hedgehogs stared at Cream in shock until Sonic cleared his throat, which brought them back to reality.

"H-Hi Cream," Roseanne stuttered. Galexia was on the verge of fainting. Cream, who was still giving the twins a weird look, gestured to the normal chao flying next to her,

"This is my chao Cheese." Cream then glanced at Galexia, "Oh! You have a chao too!" Cream smiled brightly, "I've never met another person that has a chao!" Rosy smiled as well, "Me either!" Cream sat down next to the magenta hedgehog, and went back to looking at the twins. Roseanne caught her eye of sight and sighed,

"Don't mind those two idiots, Their names are Flash and Dash," the boys groaned in acknowlogement. Cream giggled at their expressions. Vanilla, trying to break the awkwardness, began to bring out the food,

"Tails! Today I made French Toast. Is that alright?" Tails was beaming,

"Alright! I've never had your French Toast before!" Sonic smiled in anticipation. Vanilla laughed as she set down a plate of French toast on everyone's place mat.

"Well enjoy!" The smell of the French toast instantly woke Flash and Dash out of their zombie moment,

"French Toast!" The twins cheered before scarfing it down with their hands, "This rocks!"

"Flash and Dash! Eat properly! You guys are going to choke!" Rosy shouted as she brought her hands down on the table. Flash and Dash had smiles that filled their entire faces,

"But its so good Rosy! It almost beats Mommy's French toast!" Rosy was flabbergasted,

"What! No way-" Roseanne then took a bite of the heavenly French toast and her face erupted into a smile as well, "Wow…this…this is amazing!"

Cream delicately took a bite of her French toast, "Great as ever Mother!" Vanilla smiled warmly,

"Thank you Cream." After everyone sat down and was eating, Vanilla began to start up a conversation.

"So," Vanilla said as she layered another piece of French toast on her fork, "Where are you guys from?"

Roseanne opened her mouth to answer, but Sonic cut her off, "G-Green Hill zone."

"Ah, then that's not far away from here. Where are your parents? I'm sure they're very worried about you."

"Well, Mommy isn't here right now. We've been looking for her all morning, but Papa's right here,"Dash answered before Sonic could stop him.
Cream and Vanilla almost choked on their French toast.

"W-What did you say Dash, dear?" Dash still oblivious to the glares of Tails and Sonic, continued to chatter,

"Yup! That's my Papa! The fastest guy ever! He's as cool as Uncle Tails-" Roseanne clamped her hand over her brother's mouth. Sonic and Tails had lost their appetite. Vanilla wiped her mouth with her napkin and stood up from the table. Cream's eyes were spinning.

"Sonic? Tails? A word please?" Flash hit his brother on the shoulder,

"Way to go Dash!" Dash looked at the table in shame,

"Sorry Papa…" Roseanne's expression was a mix of anger and disappointment. They were surely going to get in trouble for this…

Sonic shakily stood from the table and followed the elder rabbit while Tails looked at the small hedgehog with a disapproving look. Flash sneered at Dash, while tears pricked his eyes. Roseanne just looked at Galexia who was face palming the table.
Sonic, Tails and Vanilla stepped outside. Once Vanilla was sure that the door was locked, she folded her arms and gained a scary expression,

"Explain." Sonic waved his hands in a wild expression,

"It's not what you think it is! I'm innocent!" he then pointed at a random tree, "Ask him! He'll vouch for me!" Tails sighed at Sonic's idiocity.

"What he means, is that these kids are from the future. I've noticed that they bear a strong resemblance to both Sonic and Amy, and we all know that they haven't done anything together…well not yet anyway…" Tails grinned at Sonic who blushed, "I mean Sonic runs away from her all the time! Plus when we first met, they called me Uncle Tails and when they saw Sonic they jumped on him and called him Papa!" Sonic entered the conversation,

"And if Amy and I had done anything, then those kids would be way younger," Tails and Vanilla gave Sonic an odd look. The hedgehog sighed, "And…that didn't come out the right way," Tails waved his hand. Vanilla placed a delicate hand on her forehead,

"My…this is a bit to take in…" Tails smirked,

"Well at least we know that Amy gets the guy in the end!" Sonic cupped his hands over the fox's mouth.

"Amy hears nothing of this! Got it Tails?" Tails looked shocked,

"Why not? I mean eventually you're gonna get together. Might as well start early!" Tails grinned a cheshire cat grin. Sonic was sweating. He could imagine it now,

"Sonic! Marry me! After all I know that we have kids!" A crazed Amy laughed as Sonic was gagged and dragged away in chains.
Sonic shuddered, "No! We just have to get the kids back to the future before anyone else learns about them! Besides isn't them being here disrupting some Space Time Continuum thingie?" Tails gasped in horror!

"You're right! I completely forgot about the Time Space Continuum! This is bad! Come on Sonic…we have to tell them now…" Sonic sighed before bursting back into the house, only to find Galexia waving smelling salts over Cream's face. Vanilla entered the house and instantly went to her daughter.

"Cream! Cream dear are you alright?"

"Mother…Sonic and Amy…they…Rosy and Flash and Dash…" Vanilla shushed her daughter,

"Its okay Cream…I know…" Cream shakily sat up,

"What just happened?"

"Well Dash blurted out that Papa was here and then Rosy explained everything to you and then you squealed 'SonAmy for the win!' before you fainted." Flash said as he rolled his eyes, "Girls…" Cream's eyes widened in rememberance,

"This is great! Amy will be so happy to hear about this!" Sonic grabbed Cream's hand,

"Amy's not going to hear anything!"

"Amy's not going to hear what?" Everyone gasped and looked towards the door way, but then sighed in relief,

"Oh…its only Knuckles," Sonic sighed of relief, "I thought you were Amy…" Tails face palmed,

"Great. Why don't we just let the entire world know about Rosy, Flash and Dash? Its not like its screwing up the Time Space Continuum or anything." Tails said sarcastically. Galexia flew into Sonic's face,

"Explaining time." The chao's voice resonated through Sonic's head. Sonic groaned.

"Alright! Alright! Everybody sit down! We gotta talk!" Sonic ordered as everyone moved into the living room and took a seat.

"So, what's up Papa?" Flash asked. Sonic gave the three children an apologetic look,

"Guys. I have a confession to make," Sonic said to the kids, "You guys are in the past. Technically speaking, I'm not your Papa right now and Tails isn't your Uncle. Neither is Knucklehead." Flash and Dash looked shocked,

"So that explains Auntie Vanilla…" Rosy muttered underneath her breath as Galexia gave Sonic an approving look. Sonic then turned to Vanilla, Cream and Knuckles,

"As for the rest of you…These three hedgehogs…are my kids in the future. Everyone, this is Roseanne, Flash and Dash," Sonic gulped as he gestured to the three kids who were still wide-eyed and shocked from the news that they had just recieved. Everyone was silent until Knuckles fell out of his seat,

"Bwahahaha! That's why….that's why they were calling you Papa?! Hahaha!" Knuckles was almost choaking on his spit, "This is gold! Wait till Amy hears about this-" Roseanne suddenly shook out of her shock and bonked Flash on the head.

"You idiot! I told you not to go in Uncle Tails' lab! Now we're probably stuck here and we're messing up the Time Space Continuum!" Flash looked hurt (more from his sister's harsh words than the smack on the head). Dash glared at his brother as well. Tails looked at the siblings, sensing and argument and stood up,

"And this is where I come in. As everyone here remembers the Blaze incident right? (aka Sonic Rush)" Knuckles and the kids composed themselves as everyone else nodded. "Right. Which means that the more people know about these three, and the longer they remain here the worse Time and Space becomes. Other dimensions may even begin to start merging with ours if we don't get these guys back into their time." Suddenly a light bulb appeared over Knuckle's head.

"Hey…wait a second…then this explains why the Master Emerald was glowing all night long! It must have been sensing the disturbance in the Time Space continuum!" The red echidna glared at Sonic, "Sonic you're kids are the reason why I didn't get any sleep last night!" Sonic snickered,

"Heh. Like you needed it. You still look the same, with or without beauty sleep,"

"YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!"

"Aww…Knuckiehead needs a nappy time! Should I get you a bottle?" Sonic teased. Tails stood in between the two,

"Come on guys! Focus! Lives are at stake here! Rosy, Flash and Dash might get erased from time, if we don't fix this!" Tails said as he pointed to the hedgehog children and hero chao. All four of their eyes widened at hearing the prospect of them being erased from their time.

"What do you suggest we do then Tails? Build a time machine and send them back in time?" Knuckles rolled his eyes. Tails's eyes on the other hand, widened in excitement,

"Yeah, Knuckles! That's it! All I have to do is build a time machine! That should set everything back in place!" Cream then spoke up for the first time,

"That's great and all Tails…but I think that we need to speed up this process…" Cream muttered. Tails turned towards the rabbit,

"Why? What are you talking about Cream?" Cream just pointed out towards the window,

"Well, because I think that there's more kids coming here from the future…and that's worse because they all resemble us!" Everyone turned to look out towards the window only to see seven kids wandering outside of Vanilla's house.

"What the heck Tails! Was your older self having a time traveling party or something?" Knuckles asked as he continued to look in shock.

"Actually…" Flash spoke up for the first time, "This is all my fault. Papa was talking with Uncle Tails, so me and Rosy and Dash went to go and play with Sun but the that got boring, so I raced into Uncle Tails' lab in order to find a fun toy or something. Dash ran in here after me and began to chase me, yelling at me to get out of here, but then I found a vase of roses," Flash began to ramble as he looked down at his orange shoes, "I took the roses out of the vase and waved them at Dash, since he's allergic to rose thorns. Then Rosy came in after us and yelled at me, made me throw the roses' in the trash and was pushing us out of the room. But then I saw Dash making a face at me so I grabbed the roses and threw them at him. Dash dodged and Rosy was yelling and then we ended up here, and...and...and..." The little blue hedgehog turned to face his uncle, shame clearly evident in his eyes "I'm sorry Uncle Tails." Tails just sighed. Rosy who was still looking at the kids outside suddenly gasped,

"Hey…wait a second! That's Sun and Xavier!" Dash and Flash ran up to the window to take a look as well, "And Jem and Maria and Maya and Inca and Lily!" Tails heaved a larger sigh,

"Well that's great…their arrival has probably made the rip in time and space even greater,"

"Quick! Bring them inside. We don't want anyone to see them! That might just make things worse!" Sonic said as Rosy, Flash and Dash ran outside of the house and brought the rest of the children inside. Once the children were inside they began to stare at everyone, while everyone else stared back. Rosy, stood up from her seat and gestured to the crowd of kids,

"Guys…this is the Sonic team from the Past. Sonic team from the Past…these are your kids."
Knuckles fainted at once.
