She had told herself she ended up on this strip of land by accident, that she was only following the seaside out of convenience. Now, as she could sight the house, and the garden...
I just want to see...
...see that everything’s all right.
Everything was fine. The garden was flowing over with greens and flowers, and the sounds of chatting voices rose from the other side of the white cottage, along with some soft music. She could single out Cream’s voice among the rest, full of excitement.
A party, a social gathering of... Before she could think the word, her fur had twitched up on her back, and she had turned to find a trail away from the beach.
But then that voice had called out her name, and Blaze hadn’t been able to move as Cream ran down the garden path, swung the gate open and threw her arms around Blaze’s waist. The hold had been foreign and too familiar at once, and impossible to wrench herself out of. Now Cream was dragging her by the arm back up that path, toward the lights and warm sounds.
”You came back! This is the best birthday gift ever! I’m so happy! I missed you so much!”
Birthday? She had no idea. Cream chirped on, hugged her arm tighter, and Blaze became acutely aware of how much dirt and road grime she had on herself.
”Your dress,” she blurted, ”it’ll get dirty!...”
It was white, to boot. Cream just giggled.
”That’s okay! I’ll wash it myself tomorrow.” She turned down her voice to a dramatic whisper, making it clear that they now had a big secret to keep. ”Then maybe Mom won’t notice I already spilled ice cream on it.”

I'm so happy I finally got around to finishing this! The sketch was at least three years old, and it's been lying around almost-colored for months...
(I notice it needs better cropping, fix that until tomorrow)
(sorry the bunny isn't fat)

Just know that I have an immense amount of respect for you because of how much you've opened your heart to me. Know that there's a lot of love here, too. I consider you a good friend. If you ever need someone to talk to..you know? Not just saying that, 100% sincere.
You did a great job! :D
I've got that series qued for my site. just need to get the names of everyone and maybe an Italian to translate palm town for me. I could only find Italian rips of it.
I might even like Palm Town the best out of the two (the pastel-colored town life is more "exotic" to my inner child than Maple Town, since I grew up in the countryside), but I've only seen the first longer episode of it in Japanese. The Italian voices are pretty good though, IMO. (And I'm slowly learning some Italian through it XD)
