READ THE OPENING PSA

Okay, I looked back on my previous chapters of this story, and I have made way too many grammar and spelling errors. I intend to fix that, although it's to be expected since I'm writing on a tablet keyboard without an auto correct function.

So, from now on, at the end of every chapter, you are all allowed to give me a grammar mark out of a hundred and a grade. But don't mark the PSAs, they're not intended to be correctly grammarified or spelt... Well, not as much as the actual story is.

Anyways, enjoy!

"So, now we have a fire cat to take try and defeat?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah..." Storm said, blushing.

Sonic, who noticed the blush on Storm's face, grinned. "She was kinda cute."

"Yeah, she wa-... Oh god damnit." Storm said.

"You're not really the best at hiding your expression." Sonic said. "Hell, you're worse than Amy at this stuff."

Storm's body slowly started to burn up, erupting into flames a few seconds later. "You take that back."

Sonic laughed. "Dude, I'm kidding." he said. "Take a joke, jeez."

"Oh..." Storm said, as the flames around his dithered into nothingness.

"So shouldn't you be chasing her?" Sonic asked.

"Ah, I'll let her go." Storm said. "She'll be back."

"You know that when she does, she's going to try killing us." Sonic said.

"Yeah, I know." Storm said. "But it's not like it's gonna work."

"What makes you say that?" Sonic asked. "It's not like you'll be able to fight her very well."

"Who said I was referring to me?" Storm asked.

"Alright then, who WERE you referring to?" Sonic asked.

"I was referring to yoir hedgehog friend with the hammer." Storm said. "I'm a little surprised she wasn't here with you to fight the giant dog, honestly."

"Amy? Seriously Storm, is there something going on inside that giant head of yours that people should know about?" Sonic asked. "Is sex all you think about?"

"Yes Amy, no there is not, and most of the time it is." Storm said.

"Dude, there really is something wrong with you." Sonic said.

"Not in the way you're thinking of." Storm muttered, looking away.

"What was that?" Sonic said.

"Nothing." Storm said. "We should look for Shadow and the others."

"Well, Tails and my friend Chris are up there." Sonic said.

"Yeah, I've met your friend before." Storm said, sitting down in the grass, surrounded by the hunks of metal lying around him from the robotic dog.

"When?" Sonic asked.

"Couple of minutes before you showed up on the floating island." Storm said.

Sonic shrugged, as the two X Tornadoes landed next to them.

"So... Eggman has a giant robotic dog now..." Chris said, hopping out of the plane.

"I noticed." Storm said. "I'm a little more concerned about the psychic tree-throwing hedgehog, to be honest."

"Tree-throwing hedgehog?" Chris asked.

Storm nodded, as he started to walk away. However, mid-stride, something interupted him.

Tails... He heard the same voice from the volcano say.

"Hm?" Storm asked.

"What?" Tails asked. "What is it?"

"Nobody else heard that?" Storm asked.

"Heard what?" Chris asked.

Storm opened his mouth to speak, but stopped himself. "Nothing, I'm probably just tired. Must be hearing things." he said with a reasurring face.

The two tailed fox looked back at him with what looked to be a convinced face, but he saw that the blue hedgehog was sceptical, nor was he trying to hide it.

"I don't buy it." Sonic said. "You come here, destroy a robotic dog who was powered by a Chaos Emerald, blow up Eggman's mini-ship, and then say you're tired?"

"Do you have a better explanation?" Storm asked.

"Are you gonna go chase that cat?" Sonic asked.

Storm looked around at the other 2 life forms there, and they all knew as much as he did about Blaze, and they also heard Storm almost call her cute, so they also looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, because I like her so much that I'm gonna risk my life chasing her." he said, sarcastically. "Do I look pink to you?"

"Just a question." Sonic said. "Also, maybe not the best idea to insult Amy around me."

"Why? You like her?" Storm asked, attempting to shift the blame off of him.

Chris and Tails looked at each other.

"Do you know what's going on?" Tails asked.

"Not a clue." Chris said.

MEANWHILE, AT EGGMAN'S BASE

"That didn't go very well for us." Silver said.

"No, it did not." Eggman said. "But have no fear! I have a remedy to this situation."

"What's that?" Silver asked.

Eggman pulled a remote out of his jacket pocket, and pushed the only button on it, which opened a fully metal garage that was hidden in the wall.

"Sonic wasn't the only one I've been replicating." he said. "I've been copying all of his friends as well."

"When you say 'all of his friends'..." Silver said.

"Yes yes, I realize what you're getting at." Eggman said, as his lit up the garage, and walked over to the door with a silhouette of Sonic. He opened said door, and displayed the creations inside.

Silver looked in awe at what was being shown to him.

"Ah, I see you like it." Eggman said. "This is by far my greatest invention, and it shall be used to defeat those pesky hedgehogs."

"Does it have a name?" Silver asked.

"I'm still thinking of one at the moment." Eggman said. "But the machine itself should be ready tomorrow, and hopefully I should be able to fix the bugs from the one you fought."

"From the one I fought?" Silver asked. "You mean..."

"No more questions." Eggman said. "I suggest you go find some Chaos Emeralds. It's going to be difficult to beat them, since they have 3 of them now. I shall stay here to finish up the machine."

Silver merely nodded, as he ran outside.

AT ANGEL ISLAND

"So, what do you think's going on with the others?" Cream asked.

"Chao!" Cheese said.

"One thing's for sure, I should have gone!" Amy said.

"You just wanna get closer to Sonic." Knuckles said.

"Maybe I wanted to see the red one in action." Amy said.

"I call absolute BS." Knuckles said, not wanting to swear in front of Cream. "You just want to show off your combat skills to Sonic. Again."'

"You know I don't need to do that! He already knows we're destined to be together." Amy said.

"Don't get all high and mighty about yourself there." Knuckles said.

"My, my, look who's talking." a familiar female bat said, as she stood atop the Master Emerald.

"Oh, and now you're here." Knuckles sighed. "What do you want, Rouge!?"

"Oh, looks like someone changed their attitude." Rouge said. "You're less obnoxious. That's no fun."

"How was I obnoxious?" Knuckles asked.

"Well, 'obnoxious' isn't the right word. 'Ignorant' is better." Rouge said.

"I find that a little more offensive." Knuckles said.

"Why? Because you actually know what it means?" Rouge asked.

"Are you calling me stupid?" Knuckles asked.

"We should probably go before they have a fight so strong that even that giant emerald can't support it." Amy said.

"I agree." Cream said, picking Amy up, and flying down to the ground with her ears.

As with Sonic, once she got to the ground, she was exhausted.

Amy looked down at her belly. "Am I really that heavy?"

MEANWHILE, SONIC AND STORM WERE STILL ARGUING

"Why did you even bring Amy in to this if you don't like her?" Storm asked. "In fact, I could ask the same question for Blaze, since you brought her up also."

"Well, to answer your first question, you technically brought her into this." Sonic said. "As for the second one, I didn't even know her name was Blaze until just now."

"Alright fine, you got me there." Storm said. "But I only brought up the colour pink, and the first thing that jumped into your mind was Amy."

"Do you know anyone else that's coloured pink and obsessive over someone?" Sonic asked.

Tails looked at Chris. "Should we do something?"

"Nah, this is just getting interesting." Chris said, grabbing a foldable chair, extending it, and sitting down. "Good thing I brought some stuff from home."

"Stuff like what?" Tails asked.

Chris held out a 1 litre Coke bottle

"Ooh." Tails said, taking the Coke from Chris's hand.

"Take it, I grabbed plenty." Chris said.

Tails opened the bottle, and took a large sip, about the size of half the bottle.

"Alright, fine, you win Sonic!" Storm shouted. "You don't like Amy as much as she likes you."

"Thank you." Sonic said.

"Although given how much she likes you, that's not saying much." Storm said.

"Whatever, I'm still leaving it at that." Sonic said.

"Wait, Sonic, didn't you have a date with Amy while you were in my world?" Chris asked, trying to prolong the argument.

"What has gotten in to you since we last saw you?" Tails asked.

"For you is was 3 months. For me, it was 3 years." Chris said. "A lot can happen in 3 years."

"A date, hm?" Storm asked. "Maybe I was rignt in the first place about you and her."

"Fine, I like her! Are you happy!?" Sonic asked.

"Very much so." Storm said, pointing behind Sonic. "Why don't you tell her that?"

Sonic spun around, and saw Amy. Not within earshot, she was a fair distance away from them.

"..." Sonic had no reason not to. He knew that she liked him. It's not like she was trying to hide it. There was just something stopping him.

"Whatever. Do what you want, I should split." Storm said, walking past Amy.

In the distance, he could hear her shout "SONIC!"

On the way back to the village where the others lived below Angel Island, he saw a tiny rabbit, who looked in his direction.

"Who are you?" asked the rabbit.

"My name's Storm." the red hedgehog replied.

"Oh, YOU'RE Storm." the rabbit said. "My name's Cream. I'm a friend of Sonic's."

Storm noticed just then a tiny blue thing following her. He recognized it from somewhere.

"And this is my friend Cheese." Cream said.

"Chao!" Cheese said.

"You're friends with a Chao." Storm said. "That's kind of impressive, I haven't seen anyone else do it before."

"Thank you." Cream said.

"They seem kind of busy talking over there. Maybe we could go somewhere else and talk?" Storm suggested. He knew he was talking to a five year old, judging her size and voice pitch, but he still wanted to become friends with her. He didn't see why he couldn't.

"We could go to my house. My mom loves me bringing home new friends." Cream said.

"Chao!" Cheese said.

"Yeah, that works." Storm said, as the two of them started walking. "You sure she'll be ok with me?"

"She's friends with a crocodile who tried to abduct me once." Cream said. "I think you're safe."

"Alright then." Storm said. "How long will this take?"

"About 20 minutes walking, more or less." Cream said.

"And running?" Storm asked.

"At my speed, 10 minutes." Cream said.

Storm grinned, as he picked up Cream, and ran her to the town.

"Wow... This seems familiar!" Cream shouted over the wind, as Storm moved at a very fast pace.

Surprisingly, the tiny flying Chao was able to keep up with him, even at the speed he was holding.

"How long at this speed!?" Storm asked.

"About 30 seconds!" Cream shouted.

"Chao!" Cheese shouted.

Storm saw the village area up ahead, and stopped right outside of it.

"Wow... That was fast..." Cream said, as Storm put her down.

"Yeah. I really should race Sonic sometime, he seems like he'd be a good competitor." Storm said. "He managed to keep up with me on the Death Egg."

"Yeah, you should." Cream said, leading Storm through all of the houses as she walked up to her own. "Mom, I'm home! I brought a friend!" she shouted, as she opened the door.

"Which one is it? Amy?" a woman asked from upstairs. It was hard to believe there WAS an upstairs, given the small size of the house.

"No, a new one." Cream said, walking inside. "His name is Storm!"

"Storm, hmm?" the woman asked, as she descended the stairs. At first glance, you could tell right away that the two rabbits were related.

"Yes ma'am." Storm said.

"Well come in, Storm. Make yourself at home." the large rabbit said. "My name's Vanilla."

"Pleased to meet you." Storm said, as he shook her hand. "This is a lovely home."

"Why thank you, deary. I try to keep it clean." Vanilla said.

"Must be a hard job." Storm lied. The house definitely looked bigger on the inside, but not by much, so it doesn't seem very difficult.

"Oh, it's not a bother to me. Although Cream and Cheese like to help around a lot." Vanilla said.

"That's nice of them." Storm said.

"Dinner's ready, by the way. I always set aside a spare plate in case Cream brings a friend with her, since she usually does." Vanilla said.

Storm sniffed. "Smells good. What is it?"

"Mushroom stew." Vanilla said. "It's Cream's favorite."

In case there's anything that disproves that in any other legit Sonic universe, say in a review, because if there is then I screwed up on this.

"Would you like some?"

"Oh, don't mind if I do." Storm said, as he walked into the kitchen to grab some food.

"So, how did you meet Cream?" Vanilla asked.

Storm looked at Cream, wondering if he should make something up or tell the truth, since walking into someone with a 10 year difference in age in the woods isn't the best way to meet someone.

Cream shrugged, so Storm just told the actual story of them running into each other in the forest. He even included the argument with Sonic, for more reasons than 1. He explained how they introduced themselves, how they got here, and everything up to Cream knocking on the door.

"Wow, seems like you had an eventful day sweetie." Vanilla said, looking at Cream.

"The only day that was more eventful would be the day that I found ML." Cream said.

"I'm sorry, ML?" Storm asked.

"Oh, right. I should probably tell you about that." Cream said.

ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO (MOBIAN TIME), OR 7 YEARS AGO (REAL TIME)

Cream was walking around Chris's mansion looking for something to do. Pick flowers, play tag with Cheese, anything. After a while, she looked in a bush, and found a yellow robot.

"Hello?" Cream asked. "Are you hurt?"

The robot beeped in response, but otherwise didn't interact with her in any way.

Cream decided to pick the surprisingly light robot up, and carry it to the lab, where Tails or Chris's grandfather could possibly fix it.

PRESENT DAY

"Ever since that day, I've been the happiest I've been in my life. But then, it found a Chaos Emerald and went rogue. I was forced to destroy it, and drown it in the water." Cream said. "I haven't seen it since."

"Oh... Sorry to hear that." Storm said. "I should probably go." he added, putting down his bowl, which had been empty for about a half hour. "Thanks for the meal, Cream's mother. Thanks for the story, Cream."

"It's no trouble at all." Vanilla said. "And please, call me Vanilla."

Storm looked at the sky. It was getting dark, but he didn't have to leave right away. "I actually have a bit of time if you want help with the dishes."

"Oh, it's no trouble." Vanilla said.

"No no, I insist." Storm said. "I'll do it all, even."

"Why thank you." Vanilla said, handing Storm the three bowls and spoons.

"I'll be right back." Storm said. "I assume you have a spot to do this at the kitchen, but it gets the dishes cleaner in the river."

"Alright. Be safe now." Vanilla said.

"He doesn't need to be told to be safe." Cream said enthusiastically. "He's strong enough to take anything on."

"Chao!" Cheese said, as Storm walked out the door, over to the river near the rabbit's house. He put one bowl in at a time, as well as with the spoons, scrubbing them each with his gloves off. Once he finished them, he put his gloves back on, and carried the dishes back to the house.

"Alright, all done." Storm said, as he set the dishes where he found them in the kitchen.

"Fantastic! Thank you, Storm!" Vanilla said.

"Alrigjt, I really should be heading out now." Storm said, walking outside again. "Bye. See you another day!"

"See you again!" the two rabbits said, and Cheese did his normal "Chao!" sound.

The instant the door closed, Storm flew up to the floating island, where Knuckles and Chris were.

"Hey, Storm." Knuckles said. "What are you doing here this late?"

"I was wondering." Storm said. "If I went to the human world to do something, how long would I have?"

"Well, as long as Chris is here, I'm pretty sure it's indefinitely." Knuckles said.

"Good. I should be about 12 to 24 hours. Chris, can you show me how to get there?" Storm asked.

"Wait wait wait, you're thinking about going there?" Knuckles asked. "Why?"

"Surprise for Cream." Storm said.

"Well, I can show you how, but I don't think it'll work." Chris said.

"I'm still trying." Storm said.

Chris sighed. "Fine. Put your hand on the Master Emerald, and think about where you want to go."

Storm nodded, as he follow the instructions, and closed his eyes too.

He felt his body begin to shift, and once it stopped, he opened his eyes, and saw that he was touching a metal contraption.

He made it through. He wasn't on Mobius.

He was on Earth.
