PoV: Vanilla

  Cream was playing with Sonic, letting him smell all the flowers she picked to make a crown. It had a been a week now... Tails and the others had been gone for three days, not even a call to say hello.

"Sonic, how are you feeling sweetie?" I asked, bringing him a warm cup of tea.

"I'm alright. I've got Harley," he scratched behind the golden retriever's ear, "And Cream and Cheese are always here when they aren't in school."

"I'm sure Tails and the others are just... busy. They'll come to see you soon. I'm sure of it," I handed Cream and Cheese their lunch bags, "Alright you two. Time to go."

"Bye mama," Cream waved good bye, I gave her a kiss on the cheek and Cheese a kiss on his forehead before they left.

"Vanilla, you don't have to sugar coat it for me. I know they're losing interest in me. If I'm not able to fight with them, I'm not really as important. I'd just get in their way..." Sonic hugged Harley, who gladly gave him attention, "...I'd be a burden..."

  He had asked me of he was a burden before... now I knew why, "Sonic, you're not a burden to anyone," he simply quieted done, a look of sorrow covered his smile, "Would you like to help me get the mail?"

"Yes please," he said.

"Come on," I helped him up and held his hand as we walked. I guided Sonic's hand to the box and he opened it, removing the letters we had gotten and a small package.

"It feels heavy," Sonic commented on the box.

"It might be that surprise I ordered," I smiled and walked Sonic back to the house.

"Can I open it?" Sonic asked, he was already picking at the tape he found.

"Certainly," I watch his fingers glide for the edge of the box, "Would you like me to start it for you?"

"Yes please," he held up the box.

  I opened one side for him and placed his hand on the half open lid so he could do the rest. Inside was exactly what I ordered. Several cubes and balls, each ball would make a different sound when it was shaken. Each side of every cube had a different texture, button, knob, and even marbles to fidget with. Sonics eyes lit up as he heard the jingle of a bell when he picked up a ball.

"A bell?" Sonic shook it again.

"They're toys for you to play with," I handed him a cube.

"What is this?" Sonic clicked the button.

"There's lots of fidget cubes in here for you to play with," I fixed his quills.

"Thank you," he held the cube to his chest, "I appreciate it."

"Enjoy them," I kissed his forehead and went through the mail. I had Changed Sonic's address online to my own... and we had gotten a letter from the local court, "Sonic."

"Yeah?" He stopped ringing the bell.

"You got a letter."

"From who?"

"The court."

"Destroy it," his happy tone faded.

"Sonic it could be important," I started to open it.

"Please, just destroy it," he popped one of the air bubbles that came in the box.

"Alright," I took the letters into the kitten and opened the one for Sonic. I read it quietly, just invade it was urgent, "Oh chaos...
