From the ashes

[Ash is lying on his parent's bed, thinking about something. Then, his dad Silver opens the door.]

Silver: Hi, little furball! I didn't expect you to be there.

Ash: Dad... Don't call me like that.

Silver: Yeah, yeah. What is wrong with that?

Ash: I'm not little!

Silver: You're still a kid. But... being big comes with some responsibilities. Life as an adult isn't easy, you know.

Ash: Fine. So, there's a question that I wanted to ask you: Why is my left eye different color from the right? Am I ill?

Silver: No, everything is alright. You had that since birth.

Ash: Why though? Like you have both eyes in the same color, Mom too, and Koala as well. So why me?

Silver: Well, look at your left eye and my eyes. *they look at a looking mirror in the bedroom*

Ash: Oh! They're almost exactly the same color!

Silver: Yeah. That's from me. And guess who gave you this blue.

Ash: Mom?

Silver: Yep.

Ash: Aww. Thank you. But... why did this happen? Why does Koala have the same eye color in both of her eyes?

Silver: I guess you've just gotten lucky. Apparently wolves are more common to have it than any other Mobian species, so I guess that's why you have it.

*Whisper opens the door*

Whisper: What are my two fluffies doing here?

Silver: Nothing. Ash just wondered about his eye color.

Ash: Mom! *gives Whisper a hug* Love you.

Whisper: *giggle* Love you too.

*Koala overhears the noise and comes into the bedroom*

Koala: Can I hug too?

Whisper: Sure.

Silver: Hey! I also want to hug!

*they have a group cuddle*

Ash: A bit tight in here.

Silver: What? You don't like cuddles?

Ash: I do, it's just that... Never mind. Let's just cuddle.

Koala: Oh, and when we will visit Sonic, Blaze, and Comet? It's been a long time since we've seen them.

Whisper: Well, I know you want to see your cousin, but... they are a bit busy at the moment, so... maybe on the next week?

Ash: Fine...

Whisper: Sorry. I also wish it could be done faster. It's outside our control.

Ash: Okay.

Silver: I know you like him. It's just that they're currently busy.

Koala: Alright.

Whisper: How about a little nap?

Ash: Good idea!

Silver: I'm not protesting.

Koala: Okay.

*The four Mobians get into the bed, snuggled up.*

Ash: Love you all.

Koala: Same with me.

Whisper: I'm so happy we're all here together.

Silver: And if someone told me when I started working with Whisper, that I would have an amazing family like you, I'd never believe them.

Whisper: Yet, you have it.

Silver: Yeah. I have. Goodnight.

*The family drifts away to sleep together, snuggling.*
