It was a bright, peaceful morning in the "New City" of Soleanna. People were going about their business and starting their own routines. It seemed as if life were continuing as per usual.
In the central hospital, a different type of routine was resuming...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"HA! Beat you again, Sonic!" exclaimed one Amy Rose triumphantly as she defeated her former crush in yet another arm-wrestling match. "Aw, gimme a break, Amy," Sonic said with a bit of an attitude, "That arm's still healin'!" Amy just rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, you're the one who insisted you could beat me with it." Sonic just glared before smirking in good fun, which Amy returned.
Ever since the two hedgehogs had made amends weeks ago, Sonic and Amy had spent their days starting their friendship over pretty much from scratch. Since they were still healing from the brutal spat they had previously, there was little else to do, anyway.
During their recovery, Sonic filled Amy in on the adventures he experienced during their separation; the sights he saw, the thrills he found, etc. Amy shared her own experiences with Shadow's training (though she made sure to leave out the more suggestive bits). Sonic, for his part, was very impressed at how much she had grown, and made sure to tell her as much. Beyond that, the two became closer than they ever were previously.
Unfortunately, someone neglected to tell their next visitor this.
"AMY!! MR. SONIC!!" The hedgehogs whipped their heads to the door in time to see a slightly older looking Cream the Rabbit burst through the door in furious tears.

Cream went on and on for a good ten minutes, yelling at Sonic and Amy without hardly taking a breath. Cheese, for its part, simply hovered in silence, glaring at them and nodding in agreement from time to time. She kept going and going, and just when she had finally inhaled to continue her uncharacteristic tirade anew...
"Cremia Louise Rabbit! That is enough!!"
All four heads turned around. There was Vanilla, looking even more upset than her daughter, but for a different reason. "But, Mama," Cream began, but she was swiftly cut off. "But nothing, young lady! I know you're upset, and I fully understand why, but this is neither the time nor the place, especially in such a rude manner! I taught you better than that, did I not?" Cream nodded shamefully.
"Then apologize to Sonic and Amy. Now." The girl turned to the two and bowed low. "I am very sorry." Cheese echoed her sentiments out of habit. Sonic shrugged uneasily while Amy replied, "It's ok, Cream. We kinda deserved that."
"Now, Cremia," said Vanilla, "Wait for me in the hallway with Tails." Cream nodded and hurried out of the room. The moment she did, Vanilla said, "I apologize for my daughter's behavior. She should not have lectured you two like that." Sonic smiled and replied, "Eh, no biggie, ma'am. She was just-"

"However," Vanilla interrupted, her tone of voice turning smooth and icy, "In no way was she wrong about how disappointing the both of you have been acting, especially since you wound up here." Both hedgehogs then flinched and scooted back in their beds when Vanilla shut the door, locked it (somehow) and slowly turned around with a fierce glare. "Now then, children...why don't you tell me exactly what the hell has been going on these past few years?"
Both Amy and Sonic found themselves wishing Cream would resume her lecture.
