A/N Please Read: Hello all! Once again, it is I, Cross Rabbit. Back to bring you another chapter. I'm sorry it took so long. Remember those freak thunderstorms? They came back. And in full force. I havn't been able to get on the computer for a couple of days to work. Well any way, I have an issue to address. Someone gave me a review and it made me think that I should state something. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: When Cream was turned into a teenager, she was turned into one inside and out. This means that when her body matured, puberty basically hit her all at once. Her emotions matured and hormone levels went up. So, if anyone was confuesed, I hope I cleared things up. Anyway, please R&R, all my wonderful reviewers! hugs everyone who has reviewed so far More hugs will be given! Oh, and to anyone who reviews my cousin Cam3leon's fics, you get a cookie! They're called "A Hero's Shadow", and"The Orientation". The second chapter of "The Oreientation" is co-written by ME! So please review him also. THANKS!

Chapter 5

Discoveries and Undiscovered Things

Cream awoke from a dreamless sleep, very content. She sat up and stretched. Looking out of the window, she saw that it was about 11:30. She was slightly surprised because she didn't usually wake up this late.

'Oh, well,' she thought and shrugged it off.

She then swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat her feet on the floor. She stood up and rubbed the remaining sleep from her eyes. As she began to inch toward the bathroom, she felt something soft under her bare feet. She looked down to see that she was standing on something orange and white. She gasped as the events from the previous day flooded back to her memory, and she ran to the mirror. Quite relieved to see that she was still in her teenage body, she went over to the still sleeping Tails.

'He's kinda cute when he's asleep,' she found herself thinking as she watched the patch of white fur on his chest rise and fall. 'What am saying! This is Tails you're talking about.' She shook her head as if to clear the thought from her mind, and went next door, to Amy's room. She peaked inside, but didn't see anyone. Amy was apparently already downstairs.

'She won't mind if I borrow some clothes,' she thought as she slipped inside. She walked lightly to the closet and opened it. There she found many, many of Amy's usual red rubber dresses. 'Is this the only thing she wears?' Cream pushed aside all the dresses and found what looked like a red and red-orange Velour suit (pants and a tee-shirt). She grabbed it and closed the closet. 'Perfect.' Was her only thought as she left the room.

When she got back to her room, she was surprised to see that Tails was no longer on the floor. She then heard the toilet flush in her bathroom. A few seconds later a very shaggy looking Tails came stumbling out.

"Morning, Sunshine," Cream said.

"Meh-nrot frfg nya," was his reply as he lay back on the floor. Cream guessed that he was not exactly a morning person.

All of a sudden, something snapped in Tails, and he shot up, a shocked look on his face. "It worked?" He then got up and walked, well, ran, to Cream. "IT WORKED! I'M A GENIUS!"

"Calm down," Cream said putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I can't believe it. It really worked..." his voice trailed off as his speech became fast and blurred. Cream quit trying to decipher his mumbling and went into the bathroom. She took her shower and got dressed. When she came out, Tails was gone. She guessed he had gone home to tell Sonic and Knuckles, and went downstairs.

"Hi, Amy! Hi, Big!" she greeted cheerfully.

"Mornin' sleepy head," Amy said from the couch.

"Good morning, Cream," Big said from the kitchen.

"Something smells good."

"I'm making omelets. Want one?"

"You know it," Cream nearly growled as she tied a napkin around her neck, picked up a fork and knife, and sat in a routine "feed me!" pose. She remembered that she hadn't eaten much in the couple of days. I mean, she had eaten, but not that much.

"Hey, where's Cheese?" Amy asked walking into the kitchen and taking a seat at the table.

"I thought he (don't gripe at me about Cheese's gender) came downstairs awhile ago. He must not be up yet. I'll go check on him after breakfast." With that, Big sat a huge, beautiful egg and cheese and God only knows what else omelet in front of Cream.

She looked up at him with the most beautiful eyes she could muster. "I love you," were the last words heard form Cream before she engrossed herself in the omelet. Once she had that first bite, she realized that she was hungrier than she had thought. Cream's appetite had apparently increased with her body change. Oh, well. She didn't care. It just meant twice as much of Big's delicious cooking.

After breakfast, Cream excused herself from the table and proceeded upstairs to check on cheese. She went into her room and saw that Tails' mat was still on the floor.

'Oh well. I'll just pick it up after I check on Cheese.'

So she proceeded on to the walk-in closet, where Cheese more-often-than-not slept. She opened the door and flipped the light switch that hung to the right of the entrance way. In the center of the closet, lay Cheese, or so she thought.

"Cheese?" she whispered as she tip-toed closer to the little chao on its pillow. "Are you awake?"

Upon her coming within an inch of the pillow, a very, very, very low whirring sound started. Cream did not catch the sound because it was so close to a whisper. Cream was relieved to see Cheese fly into the air to meet her. She let out a small sigh of relief and petted Cheese on the head.

"Oh, Cheese, you're a little cold. Maybe you should lie back down for a while," she said, a bit of concern evident in her voice.

Cheese only responded by drowning out a "Chao!"

"Ok. You lie down and I'll be back to check on you later."

Yet another "Chao!"

"All right." Cream then stood up from her kneeling position and began to make her way toward the door. When she was about a foot away, the whirring stopped, and Cheese fell back to the pillow.

'Poor thing. He must be exhausted,' She thought as she turned out the light. She then made her way from the closet and closed the door gently.

YAY! You finished! For anyone who is a little confused, Let me tell you: Sometime between giving Cheese the treat, and Cheese falling asleep, Rouge replaced it with an artificial chao robot. Kind of like Omochao, except this one was made to look like a neutral chao. Team Dark just put a bow-tie on it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Please leave your reviews.
