“Last time on Sonic X! Tails (@highflyingmechanic), Cream, and Cheese spent the rest of Cream’s birthday at her tea party after putting an unfortunate end to an out-of-control Eggsel, who was once Tails’ robot that he built as a present for Cream. After the party, they went their separate ways. But, our flying heroes will have to band together again to stop the next crisis because Bokkun (@mischiveous-messenger) is up to no good again, but this time in the name of love? Tune in to see what happens right now on Sonic X!”
In Cream’s cozy home in Green Hill, the small rabbit girl and her fluttering Chao friend Cheese were getting ready to have some fun dancing with their favorite cartoon character, Next. On this sunny afternoon, the Next Show was seconds away from airing again, as the show came on in the mornings, too. And as usual, Cream was very excited and looking forward to what kinds of new moves the fuzzy creature will teach, and the kinds of catchy tunes that will play during the program. Opening the door and running out of her bedroom, she raced in her orange and yellow shoes towards the living room couch; long ears flowing as she ran while having a happy smile on her face.
Cream’s soft but happy giggles could be heard after those words, but stopped once she reached her destination. Turning around where her back faced the couch, she made a brief backwards jump so she could reach and take a seat. As for Cheese, he simply floated down and sat next to her since the Neutral Chao flew to get to the couch. Now that they were both comfortably seated, the two friends’ eyes were glued to the TV screen, waiting for their fuzzy friend to come on air. But, to both of their surprise, the news station flashed on air instead.
“Good afternoon! This is Scarlet Garcia, coming to you live about the latest craze going on right now!”
Her cinnamon brown eyes blinked twice in confusion, wondering what could be more important than dancing with Next right now? But, at the same time, the familiar news reporter still piqued Cream’s curiosity; causing the rabbit to listen with patience to hear what the ginger-haired woman had to say.
“The popular children’s show, Super Battle Babies has released a trading card game that is selling thousands of cards every minute! Kids, teens, and even young adults are getting in on the action, having their babies battle it out at the park, in restaurants, and even on rooftops dressed up as…well, their favorite babies! Doesn’t it remind you of a certain blue hedgehog?”
Yes. You heard that right. A team of people who were inspired by Sonic created a cartoon about super-powered babies that…try to be cool by having nap times on tree branches and rooftops until evil shows up. And said show happened to be one of Cream’s favorites! Absolutely excited, the rabbit girl looked over at Cheese with an even happier smile than she had when she was ready for the Next Show.
“Oh my goodness, Cheese. I love Super Battle Babies!”
Cheese chirped, matching Cream’s happiness by raising his small arms in the air. For Cream, seeing people dressed in diapers while sucking on pacifiers didn’t weird her out in the slightest. She loved how everyone seemed to be in the Super Battle Babies spirit!
“As long as there’s a table or some kind of flat surface around, for Super Battle Baby fans, a battle can happen anytime, anywhere. Now, for the Next Show.”
“Oh, yay! After the Next Show, let’s ask Mother to buy us a pack.”
“I wonder if anyone we know is a Super Battle Babies fan…”
She was going to need some playmates, after all. Although, she wasn’t going to have her cards battle like what happens in every episode in the TV show. Cream just wanted to collect the cards with her favorite babies on them and have them play and talk with the cards her friends had if they had any.
Out of her friend group, the first person who came to mind that she could potentially play with was Tails. The mechanic was around her age, and while the series was a hit for most age groups, it was still mostly viewed by young kids. Believing that the fox would be joining in the craze like herself, Cream planned on visiting his workshop after her daily exercise routine and buying her first pack.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHA! Super Battle Babies!? Wow, I hope when Dr. Eggman rules the world, he’ll get rid of that trash and put on some REAL entertainment!”
Bokkun was almost in tears during the news report, rolling side-to-side on his back while laughing uncontrollably on the cold floor of the Egg Carrier II. He had time to watch a little TV on a large monitor hanging up in one of the Carrier’s many rooms, since the Doctor didn’t assign him with any missions or messages to deliver so far today. And boy, as much as he loved pranking others on the job with his explosives, he was kind of glad he didn’t have anything to do. Seeing people on TV dressed like babies while trying to act like Sonic was just too rich! He thought ANYONE willing to partake in the Super Battle Babies hype train were even bigger losers than the losers he was used to seeing; pretty much anyone who was against Dr. Eggman. Although, maybe he would think differently if he knew that Cream The Rabbit, his long-time secret crush was one of those...said losers. And speaking of which, the squeaky-voiced robot ceased his laughter as a “brilliant” idea entered his thoughts. Maybe he could make use of that dumb baby show and its trading cards. Standing up, he folded his arms and brainstormed out loud.
“Hmmm... As stupid as that baby show is, maybe I can use my bombs and make fake trading cards of those babies, sell them like they’re rare cards, and make a fortune!”
“Then, I’ll... I’ll... I’ll spend it all on Cream and buy her a whole mountain of presents!”
As he smiled, a deep blush grew across his face, just imagining it now. Cream’s beautiful face lighting up from seeing all those presents and hearing how “hard” he worked earning the cash for it all. In his mind, Cream was so happy that the girl fell in love and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. Such an ending to his daydream made the robot shout from joy.
“YEAH!!! Time to get busy!”
Booting up his jet pack, Bokkun flies out the room once the automatic doors of the room slid open. He guided himself where Dr. Eggman could be found and landed once he found his mustached leader.
“Hi there, Dr. Eggman! I’ll be away for a little while so I can buy Cre-”
“Buy things for the Eggman Empire! I bet things can get pretty expensive around here since you’re always building stuff all the time! Ahahahahahaha...”
