Chris was in his room talking to Cream and Cheese.

"...you too, Cheese. Stay inside while I'm gone, okay?" Chris said.

"Okay." Cream said.

"Chao." Cheese said.

"I'll see you later." Chris said.

As he left, Cream and Cheese looked sad, sighed and headed out onto the balcony.

"I don't want to stay inside. I want to go outside and play." Cream said then saw something exciting her.

Shadow, Amy and Tails were in Chuck's lab gathered in the workshop. Suddenly they heard Cream enjoying herself. Amy walked over to the window.

"That sounds like Cream and Cheese outside." Amy said and Tails joined her and they saw Cream down on the ground with the flowers.

"I wonder what she's doing out there, Amy." he said.

"I bet Cream's out there gathering some flowers."

Shadow, was resting on Chuck's chair with his eyes closed opened them.

"She knows we're supposed to stay inside while Chris is at school. What's so important about going outside to get flowers?" Tails said.

Then he saw a flashback. Cream was back on Shadow's world, picking flowers.

Tails was walking by when he stopped then approached her.

"Hi, Cream. What are you doing there?" he said and she stood up and showed him the bouquet she had picked.

"I'm going to surprise my mom by making her a crown out of flowers!" she said and the flashback ended.

"I guess she misses her mom." he said.

"Of course she does. I just wish... I just wish we could do something to cheer her up."

Shadow looked over to a poster on the wall. It is of Peace Park, which depicted a lake surrounded by flowers.

He grabbed the poster and left through the trapdoor. Tails and Amy turned around.

"Shadow?" Amy said.

Chris was in the dining room sitting at the table, with poorly-cooked dishes in front of him. Then Lindsey arrived bringing in burnt pancakes.

"It's marvelous to be back in the kitchen again. On my movie sets, the chefs won't let me cook a thing! Here are your buttermilk pancakes, dear. Enjoy!" she said and set the pancakes down in front of him." Lindsey said.

Chris picked one of them up, and it crumbled in his hand then sighed and Ella entered.

"Oh my! I smell something burning! Oh!" she said and headed to the table to look at Lindsey's cooking.

"Oh, Ella, it's so good to be home again. I have an idea. Let's have a big party!"

"Party?" Chris said not knowing that Cream and Cheese were watching them.

"Yes, a dinner party tonight. We can all dress up! I'm sure Ella can prepare something absolutely scrumptious."

"A party's a great idea! And do you think you can invite your brother Sam to come over since he's my favorite uncle?"

"Of course, darling! You can have anything you want! Anything at all for my adorable baby boy!" she said and hugged him.

"If we're having a party tonight, this calls for heavy-duty cleaning. Time to clear some clutter!" Ella said then giggled, and ran out of the room." Ella said.
