Cream's P.O.V

Playing with Mr. Shadow is SO much more fun when he's small! I have more games I can play with him, and he just agrees to everything!!

Shadow's P.O.V

Before, I never minded playing with Cream. Admittedly, I kinda enjoyed it... but now? Well, I was just too anxious about everything. Tails said that he'd never seen anything like this before... does that mean I might never get fixed? I started feeling overwhelmed, but I quickly calmed myself down.

Cream had brought me to the backyard. She had a basket with her. Flower picking... Of course. Why else would she wanna go outside with a basket?

She drags me along with her and makes me pick flowers with her. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but right now, I just feel extremely annoyed with Cream for some reason.

I don't like this feeling, but I can't help it. Something about her is annoying me right now... but what? She was humming and skipping around, collecting flowers, which I've never had a problem with before.

Suddenly, I felt this warmth and feeling to hold something back. It came from my crotch. Damn it... I have to pee. "Hey, Cream?!" I need to tell her I'll be back. "Yes, Mr. Shadow?" She replies. "I-I'll be back, I just have to do something." I explain.

I was twitching a lot and she could tell. "Do you have to go potty, Mr. Shadow?" She asks. I blush from embarrassment at how she asked that, but nod. "It's ok! I'll take you inside, Mr. Shadow!" My face gets redder. "Y-You don't have to-" I couldn't even finish. She grabbed my hand and started walking me back inside the house.

Sonic's P.O.V

I had just finished explaining EVERYTHING to them. Including the voice Shadow's hearing. "So... Shadow's kinda like a real kid?" Knuckles asks. "Exactly." I respond. "And that's why he has bruises?" Amy snickers. I sigh. "Yes, Amy." I had to tell them where the bruises came from! I didn't want to, but I had to. "Well, what are we gonna do? He can't stay like that, and I don't trust anyone else to babysit Cream. Obviously I mean people who are free to do so, not you guys, of course." Vanilla says.

I sigh again. "I don't know, guys. But we have to fix this." As soon as I said that, Cream walks back in holding Shadow's hand. She's dragging him somewhere. "Cream, sweetie, where are you taking Shadow?" Vanilla asks. I noticed Shadow's face was red and he was bouncing ever so slightly. "Uhh- I'm taking Mr. Shadow to... play some more!" Awww, sweet Cream... she can obviously tell he doesn't want anyone to know.

Cream is known for her kindness, but she's also very smart. She takes Shadow in the hallway to most-likely use the bathroom.

Shadow's P.O.V

Cream is such a sweetheart... she even lied for me! Y'see why I like her more than the others? She's amazing, innocent, and smart.

She guided me to the bathroom and I thanked her, going inside. I soon realized I couldn't reach the toilet. I was holding both hands over my crotch. I looked over at the locked door and then back at the toilet. I tried to climb up it. As I was climbing, I was whimpering, trying to hold it in. Until... I released on the floor.

I fell off the toilet and started to wet the floor. Tears pricked at my eyes as my face turned beet red. Oh no, not now... please. Yes... right now. Oh no... oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! I had started crying...

I can't believe it... I wet myself on Faker's bathroom floor! I managed to keep my crying quiet, but the tears are still there. I remembered something at that very moment... Cream! Yes, Cream! She's still waiting outside the door! I crawled over to the door and sat next to it.

I took a deep breath and spoke. "Cream, sweetie? Are you still out there?" I asked. There was no response for a good 5 seconds before I got an answer. "Yes, Mr. Shadow. I'm still here. What is it?" She replied.

I sighed of relief and sniffed away my tears for the moment. "Cream, could you get Sonic for me?" I sounded desperate and sad, there's no way she'd decline. "Of course, Mr. Shadow! It's nice to know you're on good terms!" I can hear her walk away. What does she mean by that?

Cream's P.O.V

Mr. Shadow and Mr. Sonic are getting along! You guys may be wondering, 'how could you tell'? 2 ways.

1, I could tell Mr. Shadow was sad, and he asked me to get him Mr. Sonic specifically. Ms. Rouge is here, so he could've asked for her, but no! He chose Mr. Sonic!

And 2, this one should be obvious... Mr. Shadow called for Mr. Sonic by name! Which he's NEVER done before! I think they're gonna get along AMAZINGLY when this is all over!

Sonic's P.O.V

Everyone kept asking me questions, even Rouge who was supposed to help me ANSWER them. I need a break... "Mr. Sonic!" I hear Cream call. Talk about perfect timing! "Yes, Cream?" I reply. "Mr. Shadow needs you." What?! He needs- ME?! "M-Me?! Are you sure..?" She nods. "Mhm! He called for you by NAME." By name? Really? I wonder what he needs...

Meanwhile, everyone else was probably wondering why he'd ask for ME. And uh... I mentally chuckle nervously... I'm not explaining that. Sooo... "Ok then! Thanks for telling me, sweet Cream!" I pat her head and zoom off before immediately zooming back. "Uhh- where is he?" I chuckle nervously while asking. "The bathroom..." She whispers to me. The bathroom?

I shrug and dash over there, knocking on the door. "Hey, Shadz! It's me! Uh- what'd you need me for?" I got no reply for a good while. At least 10 seconds before; "...I had an accident." I froze. Now?! When everyone's HERE?! Seriously?! And how'd he have an accident when he's IN the BATHROOM?!

Y'know what? Doesn't matter. "Shadow... could you let me in?" I say as gently as possible. The door creaks open and I enter the room. There's Shadow with a tear stained face behind the door since he opened it, and there's piss all over the floor. Great...

Shadow sniffed. "I'm sorry... I-I couldn't reach, and I tried to angle, which didn't work, and I tried to climb up, but that didn't work either. I ended up peeing on the floor, and I'm so so sorry..." He explained, holding back sobs. My ears lowered and I gave him a sympathetic look. "Hey, hey... it's ok, Shadow. I'm not mad at you. It's ok. Accidents happen." I smiled at him. "Not when you're a teenager..." He croaks with a mumble. "Nuh-uh, not true." He raised an eyebrow at me and he sniffed. "How so..?" He asked.

"There are teenagers out there with problems. Some of them, the ones who get hurt really badly, start to have bladder problems and can't make it to the bathroom on time. Others are immobile and require assistance to do that. They either wear diapers, or they have to be helped to the bathroom and put on the seat. And finally, there's teens with age reduction, a mental condition that, by definition, makes them act how they did during early stages of development, or in other words, like babies. They have to wear diapers." I explain.

He blinks in surprise, probably not knowing that. "Ok... you're right." He admits. "See?! Now, let's get you cleaned up." I take off his tiny gloves and shoes, placing them just outside the room, making a mental note to wash them later. I place Shadow in the tub. "Wait here, ok?" He nods. I dash away to the kitchen, which I have to pass by the living room to do so.

Of course, people asked me questions. "Sonic, what are you doing?" Silver asked. "Yeah, what's up with Shadow?" Tails added. I grabbed paper towel rolls, so I quickly came up with an excuse. "He used the bathroom and tried to reach the sink, but was too short and ended up dropping something. It might take a while to clean, so just chill over here and use the bathroom upstairs." Everyone nods.

I walked to the bathroom and took off my gloves, leaving them in the sink. I cleaned the floor with soap and water. That should do. I washed my hands and the gloves afterwards and placed my gloves on the side of the sink. I'll wash them with Shadow's stuff again so it's more efficient.

I lock the bathroom door and go on my knees in front of the tub. I turn the water on, making sure it's not too hot and not too cold. "Sit." I command, the toddler obeying. Heheh 'the toddler'. Sorry, what was I saying?

Oh yeah! I told Shadow to sit down and he actually did it! I feel like this should be more surprising than it feels... huh. Anyways, once the water hit his neck, I turned it off. I put soap in the hedgehogs quills and I rubbed around on his scalp. I could tell he liked it because his ears lowered and he closed his eyes gently.

I smiled at that and spread the soap throughout his quills. Once I was done, I said; "Shadow, can you lean your head back for me? I need to get the soap off," which he unsurprisingly nodded to. He leaned his head back and I washed the soap out of his quills.

He also needs to get the dried bladder off of him... I put some soap in my hand and put my hand under the water, rubbing his- I don't even wanna say it... his crotch area. He was turning even redder than he already was and I'm starting to turn a little red, myself. I don't want to be touching him down there, but I have to, to clean him. I also clean his lil' booty while I'm at it.

But not in between... HE can do that. Shadow awkwardly cleans the area I just mentioned to you guys while I'm still there, not looking at him.

Soon enough, we finish the awkward bath and I take the wet toddler out and dry him off. I dry him everywhere except for his private areas, which he does himself. I even dry his tiny little face and boop him on the nose, to which he flinches from.

I chuckle and grab the brush from the counter. I decided to brush his quills in the bathroom because why not? I quickly finished since he didn't have that many knots in his quills. I picked him up and carried him into his room to rest before going to the living room.

Cream and Vanilla left, but Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver stayed. "Where have you BEEN, Blue?!" Rouge asks me. "You've been gone for an hour!" Amy adds. "Well, I told you that Shadow spilled something! I also said it might take a while to clean!" I yell back. "What did he spill? The Mediterranean sea?" Tails said, rolling his eyes. I glared at them. That tears it. "YEAH! Y'know what, TAILS? Maybe he DID! Or maybe even the Pacific Ocean? Or how about a whole fucking aquarium?!"

Everyone was speechless... and honestly, I don't blame them. I've never snapped at my friends before... Never.

Especially Tails.
