Description

"You're my new best friend!"

"Who's your best friend, honey?" Amy continued to scan her eyes across the pages of her book, only half-interested in what her daughter was saying.

"Shali is!" Lavender responded, and when a silence followed, Amy thought nothing of it. She could vaguely hear Lavender clapping her paws together, and flattened her ears as she continued to read. Funny, I thought she named every single one of her dolls after a letter. She then blinked, her thoughts still running, Maybe she renamed one of them. Her ears perked at the opening of the front door. Her gaze flicked over towards it from the couch as she sat up.

"Hey Amy," that was her husband's voice, and she quickly got up and made her way to the door to greet him.

"Hi Sonic!" she grasped her arms over the cyan cat's shoulders and embraced him momentarily, then pulled away as he stepped back to close the door behind him. Soon enough, their daughter Lavender was racing up and hugging him too.

"Hi Daddy!" she squeaked, before pulling away to reach behind herself at air in a way as if she was pulling something closer. "Daddy, meet Shali!" She moved the air forward again. Sonic exchanged a somewhat amused glance with his wife, then blinked softly and bent down to his knee.

"Hi there, Shali!" he greeted cheerfully, looking at the area Lavender had "moved forward." She looked at the space for a few moments and looked back at her father.

"She says hi." Lavender told him, then frowned. "You can't see her, can you?" Sonic blinked in surprise then looked over at Amy, who shrugged. He looked back, then shook his head sadly.

"She's your friend, not mine." he enthused, trying not to upset his daughter. She looked at the area of air again, as if interested. Then nodded and smiled. The lavender she-cat looked back at her parents, mood quickly changing.

"Do you want to draw with us? We were drawing pictures!" Lavender asked, flapping her wings and swishing her tail in the air. Amy looked down at the book in her hands and frowned in thought, then sighed and looked over at her cyan mate, who shrugged and mouthed a "why not?" She looked down at Lavender with a gentle smile.

"Sure, Lavender." The magenta she-cat said with a blink. Lavender circled around her parents and pushed them forward, further into the living room, turning left, down the hall and into her bedroom. Her small table was out and open, with several papers littered across it with cute drawings and scribbles in crayon. She pulled them to sit down with her and looked beside her and down, and Amy assumed that was "Shali" sitting down. Lavender reached across the table and grabbed her box of crayons and handed her parents them, and grabbed one for herself and one for "Shali." She relaxed and began to draw something on the paper.

Sonic looked over at Amy, smiling in a fatherly way as if he found Lavender's actions cute, and she smiled too. Amy looked down at the paper Lavender had given her, and looked at the crayon. Blush it read, being a darker pink crayon. She sighed again and started doodling something on the paper. That's when she thought something of it.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she saw it, but she thought it was just her mind playing tricks on her. There was no way. She looked across from Sonic sitting beside her in confusion, her gaze scanning violently near Lavender. She felt her blood grow cold. No.

Beside Lavender, on the paper she had given to "Shali", the crayon lay un-moving, but something was being drawn onto the paper. She jolted backwards in surprise when she saw it, and sank her claws into Sonic's shoulder. He looked at her as if she was losing her mind.

"Amy? Amy what's wrong?" he quickly asked, and Amy shook his arm, still staring at the paper. Sonic turned over and looked where she was staring, and saw it too. His mouth dropped open in shock, as he stared at the red markings drawing themselves over the page. Lavender, however, didn't react to it. She looked up at her parents calmly, and cocked her head.

"What's wrong mommy and daddy? Why are you doing that?" she asked. Neither of her parents replied, and she looked beside her and saw the paper too. She didn't react to that either. The lavender kit looked back over at her parents. "Oh, Shali doesn't like using crayons." She laughed nervously, as if she was embarrassed. She lifted the crayon off the page and the markings stopped for a moment, then continued. She continued smiling smugly and watched the picture. Amy couldn't believe what she was seeing. She looked around the room, looking for a trace of some sort of projector or string, then shook her head. Lavender's 4! There's no way she'd be able to figure out how to use those, she doesn't even know what they are! Her heart continued to pound, staring at the markings in awe. It had to be an illusion, some sort of computer generated projection, a one way mirror under the table, there was nothing else it could have been. Amy kept gazing around the room, searching for an answer, then she saw that nearby, beside Lavender's bed, was a mirror. She saw herself and Sonic in the mirror. She saw Lavender in the mirror.

She saw it in the mirror.
