Sonic and friends were out of control during the afternoon they suffered sugar rush.

They were running around in the hallway screaming.

They were crazy and wild.

It was driving the caretakers crazy.

Now it was night time the kids are getting ready for bed.

"Who's going to read the kids a bedtime story?" Vanilla asked.

"I will." said George.

George went to the bookshelf to get a book.

He picked Love You Forever.

"This will settle them down."

"I just wanted peace and quiet." Julia said.

"I know you want peace and quiet Julia." said Stéphanie.

George came into the kids' bedroom.

"Is everyone ready for a bedtime story."

"Yes." said the kids.

"The story is called Love You Forever."

George cleared his throat and begin to read.

A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth.

And while she held him, she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old. and he ran all round the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "This kid is driving me CRAZY!"

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor,

looked up over the side of his bed;

and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth.

While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old.

And he never wanted to take a bath,

and when grandma visited he always

said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!

But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. if he was really asleep,

she picked up that nice-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth. and while she rocked him, she sang

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew.

He grew until he was a teenager. he had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music.

Sometimes his mother felt like she was in a zoo!

But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. if he really was asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. he left home and got a house across town.

If all the light in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of the bed if that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and fourth. back and fourth, back and forth.

and while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

Well, that mother, she got older.

She got older and older and older.

One day she called up her son and said,

"You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick."

So her son came to see her.

When he came in the door she tried to the sing the song. she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always...

But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick.

The son went to his mother.

He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth back and forth.

And he sang this song:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My Mommy you'll be.

When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs.

Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping. He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

And while he rocked her he sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be.

"The end." he said closing the book.

Sonic and friends were asleep.

"Goodnight kids."

George turned off the light and closed the door.

Everyone was glad the kids had settled down.

"Thank goodness this sugar rush attack is over." said Alice.

"Me too." said Susie.

Julia and her friends were watching tv.
