第10章
I stand up, Cream still in my arms. "Mr. Tanaka- you know about them- you knew all along?...You have to be the chilliest Butler I know." Placing Cream and Cheese down for a second as I continue to talk to Mr. Tanaka.
"I am disappointed you'd think I'd never know what goes on in your life. I've been taking care of you sense you were in diapers." He tells me petting my head. "Sigh...do you think you think you could help us keep this a secret for right now? Pleaseee!" I clap my hands together, begging the man.
Sighing he agreed. "I will, but I don't want to see you and Sonic alone in rooms anymore. He may not be human, but all teenage boys are the same." ...How does he know- Nosy mother f- wait where's Cream and Cheese?! I just placed them down!?
"Crap!!" I yelled out.... Feeling painful dagger glares hit my head. Mr. Tanaka giving me the most bone chilling glare I think I ever received. I quickly apologized before going off to find two.
"Cream? Cheese?... Cream cheese?....That actually sounds good rn- but where are you two!? I wonder where they can be at?-" Just then, the sound of Ella screaming caught my attention. Quickly running down the hall, and sliding on the newly waxed floor making me slam into the wall but quickly look in the kitchen to see what was the commotion about about.
I looked and see the blending was creating a tornado of a green mess of whatever was in. As on the other side was a mixing bowls of pink liquid being spin like crazy by the mixing machine. I rush over to Ella, taking her hand. "Are you okay!? What the heck happened in here?"
She sighs in grief and stress. "Dinner is a disaster..." I sighed with her, Mr. Tanaka walking in with Chris. "Mrs. Thorndyke wants to see you in her room for a brief moment. Me and Chris will help Ella with the rest."
I nod to him. Standing up, and making my way upstairs to the actress. I wonder what she wanted to talk about? Coming up to her door, I knocked on it. Which I was let in by a soft voice.
"There you are- gasp! (Y/N)...look at you. You look absolutely beautiful love...I remember when you were small enough to fit in my arms. Now look at you...all grown up. I wish my sister- your mother would tell you theses things more. I just what you to know that your uncle and I are very proud of you..."
I blink... feeling my cheeks heat up from being called such kind words. "Thank you auntie...That means a lot coming from the beautiful actress herself." I chuckled, she hums before I could see her eyes widening a bit like she remembered something. "Oh! I almost forgot!...I got you something"
She turns over in her makeup chair, looking in her drawer. "Auntie please - you've given me enough stuff as it is. I can accept anymore-..." She puts something around my neck. A gold necklace...with a blue emerald. It was so beautiful...it kinda almost reminded me of Sonic.
"Auntie I-...I don't know what to say...Thank you. I promise I'll protect it-"
Her telephone rang making Lindsey mouth out "sorry" going to grab her telephone up and placing it to her ear. "Hello." She says into the phone...two seconds go by as she gasp. "What's that?! The staring role? I'll catch the next plane- Oh, actually I'm having a little party for my son tonight."
I smile a bit from this. I go and sit down on her bed. Being a very busy actress and always having new movies to do. She never lets it get in her way of loving her son and always thinking about him. "I'm afraid I'll have to leave tomorrow morning."
My attention soon focused on the hallway seeing Cream and Cheese listening in on Lindsey conversion. I bring my finger up to my lips, telling them not to make a sound. Bringing my attention back on Lindsay...she looked even more distressed than before. "I didn't realize... We have to shoot on location first thing tomorrow morning?...I know, you can't put a $100-million production on hold for a party... I'll leave immediately. Goodbye." She hangs up the phone....
"Auntie?..." I stand up walking to her. "Why does it always have to happen this way? I don't even have time to spend with my little boy. I may be a great actress, but I'm a terrible mother! I hope Christopher can forgive me." She covers her face with the palm of her hands sobbing quietly.
I hug her embracingly rubbing her back...poor woman. I look behind her to see that her words also affected Cream as she looked almost like she was about to cry. "It's okay...you are doing what is best for your son. Your an amazing mother..." I said softly to the woman.
I wish you were my mother.

"Chris!! Chris! Geez where is that damn boy..." After hopelessly giving up. I made my way outside to the car. Lindsey had to go...she wanted to tell Chris goodbye. But sadly me nor Ella could find them. Mr. Tanaka was putting Aunties lunges inside the trunk, while she stands patiently for her son.
"I'm sorry Auntie, I looked all over and I just can't find him! He's not picking up his walkie. I'm sorry.." I bow apologetically. She takes my hands and makes me look into her sad sapphire eyes. "(Y/N), please tell Christopher how sorry I am ...and apologize to Mr. Stewart and your parents."
"I'm sure he'll understand, Ma'am. You take care of yourself Auntie!" I call out to her as I watch her make her way into her car. "Call me if Chris or you need anything!" Nodding my head in response. The car pulls off and I let out a upset sigh... I can't even imagine how upset she must feel right now.
....CRAP! I LEFT CREAM AND CHEESE AGAIN!
I quickly run back into the house searching. Maybe they went back into Gramps room? Changing directions and started to make my way upstairs. Opening the door and peeking up. "Cream? Cheese?"
Just to only see Amy, Tails, and Gramps's eyes on me in confusion. "What?! Their not here either?" I grown holding my head. "Weren't they with you?" Gramps ask me making me start to panic a bit. "They're wandering around someplace, and everyone's going to be here any minute now! If someone sees them they could get hurt or something horrible might happen!!"
I felt my breathing matched the same pace as my heart. Almost feeling like I was about to have a panic attack. Tails comes over and pets my back in a way of comfort. "Stay calm. Let's all split up, and each one of us will search a different part of the house- I know Chris is also looking for them."
Chris! That's right I also need to find him and tell him his mom won't be here for the party... I have a feeling this is going to be a really long night- and Sonic's not even back yet! I hope he is doing okay...
☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。
Mr. Stewart and my parents finally came. My parents wearing their most fashionable and expensive party outfits. While Mr Stewart was wearing just a normal suit with a giant bouquet of roses in hand.
Chris finally made an appearance after some time. He too was looking for Cream and Cheese. I was going to try and break the news to him but it seems that the party guest had already arrived.
Ella brings them into the living room. I kept my distance from them while also trying to look around and make sure Cream and Cheese don't get spotted if they come out of sight. My direction of attention goes back to Mr Stewart who was looking at Creams party decorations.
"Do you like it? Mrs Thorndike is an only a great actress, but an artist, too." Complied Ella as she laughs. "Yes...a great artist. Maybe she should stick to being an actress instead..." Harshly said my mother as she adjusted her makeup in her hand pocket mirror. Biting my tongue from saying anything after that.
"Well, it's great. I can't wait to meet Chris's mother and give her my compliments." Said Mr Stewart, who must have been really excited of meeting Chris's mother... I couldn't help but get a suspicious feeling about him. Something just felt off...
Clearing my throat as I step into the conversation. "I'm very sorry, Mr stewart, but just before you all arrived, she was offered an important movie part and she had to leave right away to start filming."
Chris gasped upon hearing this. "Huh?! "No way." His expression was shocked and slightly hurt. "Oh, that's too bad; I was really looking forward to meeting her in person. Hmm, I suppose I'll present these to you." Mr Stewart speaks in a calm tone of voice and hands the bouquet to Ella."
Ella in hails happily taking a hold of the flowers. "Oh, why thank you, Mr. Stewart!" I smile at this, I would deserves a giant bouquet of flowers for how hard she works. I look over at my parents, who didn't seem to even care.
"Ah yes, well my sister can be selfish sometimes. Who just leaves their own party? I think so much of the movie life makes her forget about her real one." Insults my mother. I ball my fist up trying to compose myself. "Oh yes, (Y/N), we need to talk about s-"
A loud bang from something shattering causes us all to stop chatting. We all glanced at one other, perplexed, while Miss Ella went up to investigate the sounds. I look over near the window and notice that Gramps has fallen out...that stupid old man. Looking down, I noticed shoes under the curtain-Creams shoes!
I was going to say something / try to whisper something to the little rabbit. Before I had saw Sonic jump down onto a tree from outside. He waves his arm out and points at the giant flowers he got for Cream. He really was such a sweet guy... My smile soon faded when I heard the little girl talk out loud.
"Thanks Sonic! Guess what? Sonic went out and picked a whole bunch of pretty flowers just for me." Cream States as she walks out from behind the curtains as Ella's eyes widen in disbelief. Quickly getting up I pick up the little rabbit girl. "You can have some too, (Y/N)."
"Is ...that little animal talking?!" Ella shouted and disbelief getting closer to me and Cream. "Talking animals... What's a joke!" Gramps replied after in a way of trying to make it seem like none of this was real. Mr. Tanaka following up as well.
Meanwhile Mr. Stewart was still analyzing the abstract painting... This dude is the whole definition of sketchy.
"Uh uhhh....It's my um, talking robot... stuffed bunny! I um, made her! Hehe..." I tried to make it sound convincing enough but Ella wasn't having it. "Toy?, Look, I heard that thing talking and nobody is going to convince me otherwise." She stood her ground placing her fist on her hips.
"Pretend you're a toy." I whisper to Cream and Cheese. This party was becoming more and more catastrophic by the minute. Just when I thought two egotistic people and the party wasn't enough ... Another one joined the party. It was Uncle Sam, a part of the speed patrol to help out on police work...When the heck was he coming here?
"Ha! Ha! Where's the part!" He shouts out making me sigh. Chris excitingly calls out his name and introduces him to his teacher.
☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。
I was sitting on the opposite side of the couch. Cream sitting on my lap as I rub her head gently. Wishing someone could rub my head from how much Sam kept praising and complimenting himself about being the so-called fastest in the world. Me, chuckling at this remembering the story Sonic told me about outrunning Sam's crew... I can already feel the bitterness rising off of him knowing that a hedgehog outrun him.
While also remembering the memory, coincidentally he was also talking about his meet up with Sonic. Speaking of which, Sonic makes an appearance near the window catching Sam's attention. But when he tries to call him out, we all acted like we didn't see him...
Ella and him end up going on the same side. Saying that she too heard an animal talking, and points over at Cream in my hands. Chris quickly getting up and trying to steer direct the conversation.
"You know, sorry Mom can't be here for the party, but she got a phone call and had to leave to make a movie. I was pretty mad. Mr Stewart was looking forward to meeting her, but she went away before he even got here. That was pretty rude, huh?"
I turned my direction to Chris feeling of vein pop out on the side of my head. "Uh Chris- I was meaning to tell you-"
"That sounds like my sister, all right." Implied Uncle Sam.
"The women's career is her whole life. It's almost like the woman doesn't even care about her own child. How sad." My mother says once more, as my father nods. I turns around to them. "Hey!" I yelled at them as they looked at me confused.
Cream then jumps out of my arms. "You're wrong! Your mom felt very bad that she had to go, and she tried to find you to say goodbye. You're lucky you get to talk to your mom all the time on the phone. I can't even do that!!!" Tears swell up in Creams eyes, she runs away crying and leaves out the door.
"Cream!! Wait-" I go to try and chase after the little girl but my father grabs my arm. "...I take it you...also gave your robot emotional views as well, young lady?" My father's squints his eyes suspiciously. "Um...yes...it's a emotional support...robot?"
The living room door then swings open as Tails and Amy run out chasing after Cream. Ella nearly fainting from seeing more of them, Gramps quickly grabbing Ella's hand and forcing her to dance. "Uh! It was great seeing you all but I'm afraid I have to go chase after my talking robots- WHO ARE GOING TO BE IN BIG TROUBLE!" I yell out at the end slamming the door behind me.
☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。☆゚.*・。
Finally...After some talk with Cream, Ella finding out the truth, and everyone out of the house, the place started to finally die down for the night. Ella and Cream started to get along really well! Cream is such a sweetheart and loves to help out with Ella.
"Now that Ella knows we're here, we can have the run if this place." Sonic says, who had finally came back after some hours now. "Yeah, so your not cooped up inside Gramps room all the time. I'm just glad you guys are alright... Chris is glad that Cream isn't mad at him, he's a good kid who just really loves his parents...." I said softly... Walking away.
"Huh, wait (Y/N)!" Sonic grabs my hand. I kneel down to reach his height. He takes out a flower and places it behind my ear. "I found this flower especially for you. There was no other kind like it." He smiles at me. Feeling my cheeks heat up. "And they are pretty just like you too..." Before I could react I felt him place a kiss on my cheek. My eyes widen, and my face was all hot. Winking at me, I quickly hid my face.
Feeling his hands grab mine, making me look in his eyes. We locked eyes for a moment. Until the sound of someone clearing their throat snapped us out. "I do remember telling Ms. (Y/N), I do not want you two alone together."
Me and Sonic jump back from being jump scared by Mr. Tanaka appearing out of nowhere. "Seriously! You need to make some type of noise when you enter a room!" I complained.
The whole night went great. Everyone was having such a great time and I've never seen so many smiling faces... I guess this is what being a part of a family should really feel like. I couldn't help but just smile and laugh all night... Me and Sonic kept glancing out one another...
"Well, played Blue boy... You really manage to make me crush on you...well played."
