I actually got it done in time to upload it today. :D Hope you enjoy. Oh and another thing, in this Cream can understand what Cheese is saying and Cheese is a boy. I don't own anything in this fic!
Bokkun felt much more relieved that his mission was over with and he began to head home. He got to the beach when he stopped himself, he got done earlier than expected and when he got home he would have to give up his jetpack. The more he thought about it the more he convinced himself that he still had plenty of time to play around here.
"I'll just have to make sure I'm home by dinner." He told himself. There was still so much stuff he could discover around this place, stuff he couldn't do back at the base under Decoe and Bocoe's watch.
Bokkun spent the rest of the day practicing landing, watching the humans and even playing some practical jokes on some people. Humans were scared to death of him for some reason, he wasn't sure why but he got amusement out of it.
He was just about to head further down town when he heard his stomach growl. It had been a while since he had been that hungry and he did skip lunch to goof off around here. He looked up to the sky to see the sun setting in the horizon. 'Guess I should head back home.' He thought and turned around and began to fly back to the beach.
He was flying over a small pond that was next to a park when he heard his jetpack begin to sputter. "Oh great!" He cried. He tried to lower himself but the jetpack gave out and he fell towards the earth. He closed his eyes tightly and in a few moments he felt the cold water wrap around his body.
The pond was deep and it took him a few seconds to realize that he was still alive. He began to franticly try and swim to the surface. He was running out of breath and he couldn't tell how close he was to the surface or if he was even going up. His struggling was causing him to lose oxygen faster until his lungs couldn't take it any longer.
He had just pushed himself above the surface of the water as he gasped for much needed air. Unfortunately he inhaled a small amount of water with his breath. He began coughing but in the act he began to slide back under the water. He quickly began to paddle again to get his head above the surface. He had to get to land.
He struggle forward, still coughing and trying not to sink. His vision was blurry from the water but he knew that if he just kept forward he would eventually make it out. He finally made it to shallow waters where he could stand and just in time too, he heard strange buzzing noises coming from his electronics and felt sharp pains of electrocution.
He used the last bit of his strength to pull himself onto land. He stay on his hands and knees, coughing and gaging as he tried to get the water out of his respiratory system. He lost his strength and fell on the ground. The sun had disappeared and it began to become chilly which didn't mix with Bokkun's soaked body. 'I'm going to die…' He thought. He felt tears began to swell in his eyes.
He lay there in the grass, next to the pond, shivering in the darkness that had swallowed him. The only light was that of a street light next to the park… The last light he was sure he would see.
"Our friends are probably worried sick about us." A young tan rabbit said. Flying next to her was a small blue and yellow being that was called a Chao. It wore a bow tie that the rabbit, Cream, had given to it. It hung its head low and replied with a quiet 'chao'.
Cream and her little friend, Cheese, had left that morning to go to a field on the outskirts of town to pick flowers. Unfortunately, they were not able to make it home in time before the humans had flooded the city and they were not able to make it back safely and unnoticed. They had hid in a small forest close to the pasture until night when most of the humans were asleep.
"Don't be upset Cheese. I'm sure they'll understand." Cream tried to cheer her friend up. She smiled at Cheese which perked the Chao up a little. "Come one let's hurry home before we're late for dinner."
"Chao!" Cheese cried happily. Cream smiled brightly, she enjoyed it most when her friends were happy. Cheese suddenly stopped and looked into the darkness next to them. Cream noticed that her friend was no longer following her and stopped. She looked back at her friend who was staring into the dark which frightened her a little.
"What is it Cheese?" She asked, her voice a little shaky from fear. Cheese stayed quiet and Cream looked in the direction her friend was. She didn't see anything so she closed her eyes and began to listen. She listened for a little until her ears picked up on a strange noise that sounded like quiet sobbing. "Cheese, there's someone out there." She said.
Cream took a step off the sidewalk in the direction of the noise but Cheese grabbed the back of her dress collar. "Chao! Chao!" The being begged Cream not to go.
"But someone could be hurt." She said and gently pulled away from Cheese. She walked into the darkness and her friend stared after her.
"Chao!" Cheese cried again and flew after her.
Bokkun had managed to crawl under the slide that was in the park next to the pond that he had nearly drowned in. It wouldn't shield him from the chilly night but it helped a little with keeping the breeze off of him and being spotted by wild animals or anything else that may try to harm him. He still would be an easy target but at least he could see it coming.
He was in a sitting position, holding his legs close to his body to try and stay as warm as possible. He was still shivering heavily and he could hear his teeth chattering through his whimpering. He was starving and he was still in pain from the electrocutions. It wasn't how he thought he would go but he never really did think too much about dying, after all he had only been alive for about a week.
"Hello is anyone there?" He looked up from the ground when he heard the quiet voice. More tears began to form in his eyes, it must have been the humans, they were coming back to get their revenge. He backed as far against the slide as he possibly could, hoping that they wouldn't find him.
He jumped when he saw a dark silhouette of someone walk around the slide. Whoever was standing there stare at him for a little. "CHAO!" They screamed. Bokkun was too exhausted to try and run from the frightening noise.
"Please don't hurt me, I'm sorry!" He apologized and burst into heavy crying.
"We're not going to hurt you, you just frightened my friend, Cheese. Please don't cry." Bokkun slowly lowered his volume to a quiet whimper again. The female's voice was very quiet and there was just something about it that was very calming and sweet.
"Y-You're not?" He asked.
"No, I would never hurt anyone who was in need." She said. "Why are you crying?" She asked after a short pause. Bokkun looked back to the ground, he didn't really want to tell her why he was crying and under a slide at this time of day but if he just brushed it off he may not ever have another chance of getting help.
"I… I fell into the pond and- and-" More tears blur his vision and he had to bite his lip to keep from crying. "Now I'm cold, I'm lost, I'm Exhausted, I'm Hungry and I can't get home." He began to cry again. His two watchers stared at him in silence.
He looked up when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to cry." She said softy. "You can come back to the house with me and Cheese, then we can get you back home in the morning." She promised.
"R-really?" He choked out. She nodded and offered her hand. He slowly placed his hand in hers and she helped him to his feet. She took a few steps ahead and Bokkun tried to follow her but he nearly collapsed but was caught by the female. "I can't do it." He whimpered.
"It's alright. I'll help." She said. She put his arm around her shoulders and began to help support him as they took their first few steps. "By the way, my name is Cream." She told him. Bokkun groaned a little.
"I'm Bokkun." He said. He closed his eyes, his rescuer was warm which already made him feel better. Who was this Cream person anyways and why was she being so nice to him?
Cheese flew in front of Cream to make sure that there wasn't any obstacles in her path that she couldn't see. Cream managed to get the boy she rescued to the sidewalk under the streetlight. She couldn't really get a good look at him as they walked but she could see that his skin was as black as the night which meant that he wasn't human.
The trip home was tiring and took a lot longer than Cream had expected. "Almost there." She said. Bokkun opened his eyes for the first time on the trip and almost screamed, it was Sonic's house! Was this crazy lady trying to lead him into a death trap? Or maybe she worked for Sonic and the blue hedgehog sent her out to get him and bring him back for revenge.
Cheese politely opened the gate for them and Cream thanked him. "Please, I said I was sorry. I don't want Sonic to hurt me." Bokkun cried pathetically. Cream and Cheese looked at each other in confusion
"Why would Sonic hurt you?" She asked. But Bokkun ignored her question.
"Please! I don't want to see Sonic." He begged. It was the only thing he could do, he couldn't run and if he did he would probably just fall on the ground.
"It's okay, if you don't want to see Sonic you don't have to." She said. Cheese frowned as he watched the two head for the house, there was something strange about that kid. How did he know about Sonic and why would he be so scared of him?
Cream brought Bokkun in through the back door and snuck him to the guest room which Chris had given her to sleep in. She helped him into the bed and got an extra blanket that was actually used as a decoration blanket on the back of a rocking chair in the room. "Here." She said and put it around his shoulders.
He pulled the blanket tightly around himself but he was still shivering heavily. "Just wait here, I'm going to go let my friends know I'm okay." She told him and slipped out of the room with her little Chao.
The blanket was nowhere near as warm as the rabbit that had rescued him but it was a lot better that the covering of a hard plastic slide. He began to look around the large, decorated room and caused himself to become homesick. He shook his head as if trying to shake the thoughts out and then he buried his nose in the blanket.
Christopher Thorndyke, his Grandfather and a pink female hedgehog named, Amy Rose, sat it a room and waited for any word from their friends. That afternoon when they had returned home and found out that Cream was not back, Tails, a young orange/yellow two tailed fox and his best friend Sonic took the Tornado out to try and find their friend. The three were anxiously waiting for any word from their friends.
The door opened up and caused all three of the people in the room to jump. "Hello is there anyone up here?" Cream's soft voice called up before her Chao came into view. They all immediately jumped out of their seats and as soon as Cream came into the room she was almost knocked over as Amy embraced her.
"Cream where have you been? We've been worried sick!" Amy said. Chris and his Grandfather gathered behind Amy. The hedgehog released her friend who took in a gasp for air. Cream looked to the ground.
"I'm sorry…" She said. "I left this morning to pick flowers but I couldn't get home before now or the other humans would have seen me."
"Chao." Cheese added sadly.
"As long as you don't do it again." Amy said and gave her friend a warm hug to help get her in a better mood. Chris's grandfather turned around and walked over to the computer to contact Tails and Sonic.
"We've been looking all over for you." Chris said.
"You really had us worried. And you're probably starving." Amy added.
"I'll go see if Ella is still awake, I'll have her make something." Chris said and was about to leave the room when Cream stopped him.
"Please don't bother her, I'll just make something myself." She said. Chris was about to protest but Cream spoke again, "I'm really tired and I want something light anyways." She lied. Chris shrugged.
"Alright." All of them wished Cream goodnight as she left the room. She didn't feel good about lying to her friends but it would have been a little suspicious if she had brought the food to her room and Bokkun didn't seem to want to attract any unwanted attention to himself.
She went to the kitchen and made a few sandwiches since those were the only thing she really knew how to make by herself. She knew that drinking was probably the last thing the boy wanted to do but she filled a glass of water for him.
She was bringing the tray to the room when Cheese said something that made her stop. "Chao, chao." He said and she frowned.
"Bokkun needs help." She replied. Cheese crossed his arms.
"Chao?" She knew Cheese was right. They didn't know much about Bokkun, for all they knew he could be one of Eggman's robots that was sent to kidnap them.
"But that doesn't mean we don't show him hospitality, I think he is sincere." Cream turned away from Cheese and entered the room. Cheese rolled his eyes and followed after his friend.
Bokkun was still sitting in the same position as when she had left but he had his eyes closed, drifting into a painful slumber. When he heard the door open he quickly looked to them in alarm. He relaxed a little when he recognized them. "Bokkun are you feeling better?" Cream asked as she slid the tray onto the bed.
Bokkun quietly nodded and closed his eyes again, showing little interest in the food which worried Cream. She climbed up into the bed and pushed the tray between her and the boy. "Bokkun." He opened his eyes again and looked at her. "If you're hungry, you need to eat before you go to bed." She said.
Bokkun knew she was right but he didn't really feel like eating anymore. Cheese landed next to the tray and began to eat the sandwich that Cream had made for him. Bokkun held the blanket closed with one hand and took his own sandwich with the other. Cream smiled warmly which made him blush a little.
His rescuer, Cream was actually pretty cute. She had large milk chocolate colored eyes that sparkle under the light of the room and her fur was a beautiful cream color with a few orange patches. Her white muzzle complimented her light colors and was as stark white as the gloves she wore. She tilted her head a little. "Are you alright?" She asked.
Bokkun quickly realized the he was staring and thinking about her was only making his cheeks turn a darker red. He quickly lifted the blanket over half his face again. "I'm fine." He said. 'What's going on now?' He groaned to himself. Was he malfunctioning or something? He had to be, the water must have done something to him.
Cheese frowned, he noticed that Bokkun seemed to be flirting with Cream which irritated him. "Chao." He said and Cream nodded.
"I agree." She told Cheese. "If you're done Bokkun, you need to get plenty of rest so we can find your parents tomorrow." Cream said. She picked up the tray and placed it on the nightstand next to the bed. She pushed off some of the decoration pillows and pulled down the covers. "You can sleep on this side." She said.
Bokkun didn't move he just stared at her. He bit his tongue as he felt tears form in his eyes. "Why are you being so nice to me?" He asked. He knew she was friends with Sonic, the hedgehog he had just recently given an exploding television.
"Don't cry Bokkun." Cream begged, scooting closer to him. "I just don't like to see people hurt or upset." She said. She began to stroke his head gently until he calmed down. He lay in the place that she had cleared and she folded the extra blanket and lay it next to him. "Now if you get cold, the blanket is right there and if you need anything else I'll be over on that side.
He nodded. "Thank you." He said. His voice was still a little shaky. Cream jumped down from the bed and turned off the light. She crawled into the other side of the bed and Cheese lay in between the two so that Bokkun would have to go through him if he tried to hurt Cream.
