Chapter 6

One week after Cream's arrest, Charmy was out of the hospital and the Chaotix team was whole again. To celebrate, they had cookies and hot chocolate.

"Alright, double dose of sugar!" Charmy buzzed excitedly.

Vector and Espio winced at the thought of a hyper active Charmy.

"Just this once." Espio said, bringing the mugs over to the table. "Never again."

"Sure thing!" Charmy started shoving cookies in his mouth and drinking his hot chocolate.

"Brace yourself." Espio sighed.

Vector reached under the table where he had stashed a football helmet and put it on.

There was a knock on the door and Vector went to answer it.

"Hey Vector." Sonic stood outside. "Playing a little ball?" He asked, eyeing the helmet.

"What? Aw, no. Charmy's on a sugar high." Vector replied, pointing over his shoulder.

Sonic could see Espio running for cover as Charmy became a spinning blur on the ceiling.

Sonic nodded. "Right. I'll stay outside."

"Smart move." Vector said. "So what can I do for you Sonic? Not another case I hope."

"No way, don't worry." Sonic shook his head. "It's just that, we've all been talking, and we were wondering if you had figured out why Cream attacked everyone."

"Actually we have." Vector nodded. "Apparently, Metal Sonic had escaped from Eggman's lab and brainwashed poor little Cream into attacking all her friends."

"Wow, poor Cream." Sonic shook his head. "That guy's a real piece of work."

"I know." Vector agreed. "I'm glad it's over now."

"Vector," Espio ran up to them, wide-eyed. "Where are the tranquilizers?" He asked desperately.

"Wooohoo!"

They turned to see a blur whizzing around the house.

"Everybody out." Espio pushed Vector and Sonic back and shut the front door. "Don't go back in for at least an hour."

Then, there was the crash of breaking glass and they saw a small yellow streak heading towards them.

"I have an idea," Espio said frantically. "RUN!"

And they did.

---

A couple of days later, Knuckles was released from the hospital, and a few days after that Amy woke from her coma, requiring much explanation. Soon after, Decoe and Bocoe were rebuilt, and Laya of course recovered from her injuries.

As for Cream, she had been scheduled for intense therapy until she was finally cured.
