      Dennis slams his fist on the kitchen table and yells at his wife. — WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN??? A??? SO THE ONLY THING YOU CARE ABOUT IS THAT I AM STILL THE SAME CHILD IN MY SOUL AS I WAS IN CHILDHOOD, WHO MISSES HIS YOUNG SELF AND THAT DADDY BEGAN DRINKING AND RAGE BECAUSE HE CAN NO LONGER MAKE TOYS, K AK IN YOUR YOUTH, DOESN'T OUR SON'S BEHAVIOR CONFUSE YOU SOMETHING??? YES??? — of course, he expected that she would start shouting at him in response and was ready for this, but she did not do this, but only lowered her head, ashamed of what he shouted at her for. — SO WHY ARE YOU SILENT NOW??? WHAT, THERE IS NOTHING TO EXCUSE??? GOD DESTROYED TO GIVE ME SUCH A WIFE AND SUCH A SON WHO WAS PLAYING TOGETHER AND IMAGINES HIMSELF THAT THE TOYS HAVE BEEN COME TO LIFE!!! The wife finally couldn’t stand it, clenched her fists in anger and also started screaming: — OSCAR HAS A VERY VIOLENT IMAGINATION, THIS IS NORMAL!!! I FOUND SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO!!! YOUR FATHER HAS SENIELITY AND HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING!! YOU WERE AFRAID OF HIM!!! AND SPEAKING ABOUT THAT TOY, I'M TIRED OF YOU ACTING LIKE A CHILD!!! YOU ARE A GROWN MAN AND YOU HAVE CHILDREN YOURSELF!!! FIRST, YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, AND NOT ABOUT SOME OLD DOLL!!! — AN OLD DOLL??? YES THIS TOY IS MY LIGHTEST CHILDHOOD MEMORY!!! MY DAD MADE IT! HE THEN OVERCOME HIMSELF AND MADE A TOY SIMILAR TO THOSE THEY MAKE ABROAD!!! AND HE MADE IT NOT FROM WOOD, BUT FROM FABRIC!!! THE FATHER WAS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NEW BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE NEEDED!!! — Dennis became more and more indignant. He couldn't believe that his beloved was capable of this. — NEEDED?? HE WOULD BE MORE USEFUL IF HE JUST SITT IN HIS ROOM!!! AND IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF HE WAS IN A NURSING HOME NOW! I TOLD YOU A LONG TIME THAT... — SHUT UP!!! — Omarov no longer wanted to listen to Karen’s nonsense. — I WILL NOT FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD RENDER MY OWN FATHER TO THIS TERRIBLE PLACE!! HE'S ONLY SIXTY-FIVE, AND YOU'RE ALREADY LISTING HIM TO THE POOR!!! HOW STUPID I WAS!! BECAUSE OF YOU, I EVEN STOP COMMUNICATING WITH IVAN!!! AND ALL BECAUSE YOU AND LILI HAD A FIGHT!! — HE'S STILL PLAYING WITH THESE TOYS!! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TWO TO GROW UP, YOU ARE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN TO IMAGINATE YOURSELF AS SUPER VILLAINS!!! — HE HAS A SON AND VANYA HAS FULL RIGHT TO PLAY WITH HIM! YES EVEN LILI DOES THIS!!! AND THEY ARE ALL HAPPY!! — Omarov once again slammed his fist on the table. — I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING AGAIN! WE'RE GETTING DIVORCE!!! After these words, Karen froze in a stupor. She never expected this, so she silently watched her husband climb the stairs. Meanwhile, Stephanie was in her grandfather's room with Sonic, Shadow, Silver and Gerald. Dennis gave the latter to his daughter for the duration of the conversation, believing that she would save his friend. At this time, Andrew was sitting at the table and trying to unhook the rocket from Silver’s back, lightly catching the ends of the tape with a master knife and trying to peel them off. — I wonder what will happen to you now? — Shadow wondered out loud. — What are you talking about? — Stephanie didn’t understand. — Your parents quarreled over Oscar and what your mom did to your dad and wanted to do to your grandfather. Well, partly also because of us. But they don’t know about it. What if it turns out that she is a maniac and, having never forgiven your father for this, will pursue him and kill him, and will still put your grandfather in a nursing home, as she wanted all this time. — Sonic explained for Shadow more precisely and Stephanie, thinking, began to answer: — Let her only dare! Daddy won't allow it this time. After filing for divorce, he can also sue her for threatening her grandfather and ruining his personal life. And then we will probably move further away from this Hell, somewhere abroad. To China, for example, or to America. Maybe even to Japan or to the land of mists in the Saggana Empire, which I heard about somewhere. — Why go abroad? Maybe you will move to the same place where our family will soon move? We are moving to Krasnogurbinsk in the north, to a dacha that was recently rebuilt and was being sold cheaper, and opposite it there is another similar plot of land with a house, which was also still being sold. You can move there with us and live next door!... And we, if you want, when David and his parents are away from home for a while, we will sometimes come right across the street to visit you. Or you yourself, if anything, you can come whenever you want. — Shadow explained. — Okay, I’ll talk to Danny about this topic and we’ll definitely think about your proposal. — Andrew replies, peeling off the last strip of tape and then removing the rocket from his back. — Fine. It's all over now! — Thank you, Andrew! — said Silver and began to warm up. — That’s much better! At that moment, the front door opened slightly and Dennis looked into the room. — Dad, Stephanie, can I talk to you? — he asked and received a nod and entered the room. The toys had time to stop, so the man did not notice anything. — Stephanie, listen, my mother and I have decided to get a divorce and will soon be separated. Think carefully and decide who you want to stay with. — Okay, dad. — the girl answered, although she had already decided that she wanted to stay with her father. After what her mother did, she didn’t want to live with her, much less with her brother, who was going crazy. Danny was just about to ask his father something when he noticed toys on his table. — Dad, where did you get these toys from? — Omarov was surprised that his parent toys were not made of wood. — You don’t like all the toys that are produced abroad. — They are not mine. They belong to our neighbors across the street. Oscar stole them. — Andrew answered. — Looks like my son has gone too far! Tell you what, I was just about to visit my neighbors. I want to apologize to Ivan for what happened then... — Dad, can grandpa and I go too? — Stephanie wanted to see her old friend again. — Well, if grandpa doesn't mind. — No no! I don't mind! I myself want to see those children who often visited my workshop, watching my work! — Great. Then, get ready! We're leaving in five minutes! — With these words, Danny left the room and headed to the first floor, while thinking about how to apologize to his childhood friend. Even Sonic, Shadow and Silver were glad that they would finally return home and be in the hands of their beloved owner David again. CinemaSins: You rejoice early. You won this battle, but not the war! In any war there is always one obvious counterattack that can change the course of the war. Perhaps Andrew and Stephanie played along with the toys, swearing to them not to tell anyone that they were alive, plus Karen and Dennis, although they did not see the living toys themselves, which is why it seems to them that Oscar allegedly went crazy. But there are other witnesses, for example, various neighbors in neighboring houses. For example, they could see through the windows how the toys in the yard of a neighboring house came to life and almost attacked the poor boy. The toys could not know for sure whether anyone else could see them. AntiSins: Why should neighbors pay attention to other people’s houses and their yards? And these houses are probably located a little far from each other. Plus, even if they heard Oscar's screams, they wouldn't care. They would believe that this hooligan was simply making fun of some toys in the yard again and simply did not pay attention to him, considering him sick in a figurative sense. And what kind of battle or war are we talking about? They just taught Oscar a little lesson so that he would no longer mock toys. Now this day will be a lesson for him for the rest of his life. The daughter, father and grandfather, having dressed a little warmer, because a slightly cool wind had risen outside, each took one hedgehog with them and walked across the road to the neighboring house. — Ivan, Lili, open up! These are your neighbors opposite! — Dennis said, knocking on the door. After some time, the door actually opened and a surprised Drayton Sr. appeared on the threshold. He looked at the guests for a long time, not believing that it was really them. — Dennis?! Stephanie?! Uncle Andrew?! God, how glad I am to see you! — Ivan’s joy knew no bounds. He turned around and shouted. — Lili! David! Come here! Lili quickly came to her husband’s cry and was also surprised, and then delighted. They immediately let the guests inside. — Hello, Vania. We're not here for long. We wanted to see you before leaving and return something. — Danny said, after which everyone took out toy hedgehogs. — Sonic, Shadow, Silver! We've already searched them! We thought they were gone forever! — David’s parents were glad to see their childhood toys and their son’s toy safe and sound. Ivan tried to hide it, but Lili’s eyes sparkled with joy as soon as she took Shadow in her hands. Shadow himself could barely restrain himself from coming to life in front of his adult mistress and hugging her as soon as he felt Lili's soft hands, as well as the smell of hand cream and the smell of perfume. Sonic experienced similar feelings while in Drayton's arms. Finally, David appeared in the hallway. Judging by his face, his mood could not have been worse. Seeing who came, at first he didn’t care, but turning his attention to the girl, he became thoughtful and remembered. — Stephanie?! What are you doing here?! — he asked, not believing that he was seeing his old friend. — Hello! Yes, we decided to give you something! — Stephanie replied and pointed to his parents who were holding toys. Seeing his lost friends brought joy to his face. — Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! — My pleasure. By the way, David, meet me. This is my grandfather Andrew. — she introduced the old man, to which he extended his hand to the boy for a handshake. — Very nice! — said the boy, responding to the handshake with a reciprocal action. — Well so... Since everything is fine with you, then we’ll probably go. — said Dennis and was about to go out into the yard when Ivan’s hand on his shoulder stopped him. — Well, no, buddy! Until you tell me what happened to you and why you didn’t talk to me, I won’t let you go anywhere! — Ivan said in all seriousness. At first, Danny thought that this was some kind of threat or revenge, because they had not spoken or met for a long time. But Andrew nodded when he looked at him, hinting that it was better to obey and stay longer. Even the daughter nodded, because she herself wanted to stay longer with David, to tell him a lot of what happened at home, well, of course, she will remain silent about the living toys, but otherwise she will tell the truth and even about the fact that her brother allegedly went crazy today. Maybe she’ll even play with him a little more with his toys. — Well, so be it! In principle, we are in no hurry. — Dennis answers and decides to stay. — Okay. Since we have guests, I’ll go put the kettle on. — Lili says, gives Shadow into David’s hands and heads to the kitchen. — David, Stephanie, for now you go to the second floor and play there, while we have an adult conversation here. — father says to David and also hands Sonic into his hands. — Okay, dad. — the boy agrees, holding all three lost hedgehogs in one hand, and taking Stephanie’s hand with the other hand, they walked up the steps. The hedgehogs themselves, while David was not looking, looked at each other and winked, smiling. David and Stephanie went up to the second floor and entered David's room, and on the floor at that time lay Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Big and Eggman, with whom he played at being restaurant patrons, Eggman acted as the owner of the restaurant, and Big as a Chef. And when David and Stephanie came in, bringing Sonic, Shadow and Silver into the room, the plot of the game changed a little. But after. As usual, David took the glowing Blaze figurine from the shelf and placed it with Silver on the floor, deciding to start a new imaginary game. — How did you get them? — he asked Stephanie, and she answered, after thinking a little: — Forgive me! This is all my brother, Oscar. You know, the one who misbehaves, breaks and tortures toys. He stole them. — I hope they didn’t get hurt because of him? — David asked and examined Silver first. Everything seemed to be fine with him, except that on the heel of his left foot there was a small hole from a drill bit, plus Sonic had a black dot in the lower middle, between his eyes, from a sunburn from a magnifying glass. And Shadow was mostly unharmed. Still, Stephanie's grandfather sewed up his fingers and mutant toys, the hole in his butt as if nothing of the kind had ever happened. Even sewn threads are almost invisible. — Small defects? This can be fixed. — he says to himself, because Sonic’s eyes can be slightly polished, and the hole on the leg is almost invisible and does not affect the future fate of the toy in any way. But in theory, of course, the hole could also be sealed with something, as he thought. — How are you going to correct these defects? — the girl asked, because she was really interested in how her friend was going to fix two hedgehogs. — Sonic can be tinted and polished... But with Silver, I don’t know. — David sighed sadly. He really didn't know how to fix a hole in a plastic toy. The girl didn’t want to see him sad, so she decided to take a risky step. — Listen, David, let's show them to my grandfather? He has been making toys for many years, maybe he will be able to make something. — Are you sure he can help? — Drayton Jr. had doubts about this idea. — Andrew’s grandfather made toys from wood, but maybe he can do it with plastic. It's worth the risk. — the girl said, hoping to somehow convince David to agree. Besides, she already knew that Andrew would be pleased if such a request was made to him. Not long before the toys decided to teach Oscar a lesson, Sonic, Shadow, and Silver explained to her why the old man wouldn't leave his room and acted strangely for years. They made her understand that it was important for her grandfather to be needed by someone. — Fine. Maybe he will really succeed. — David gave up and, taking Sonic and Silver, the children went downstairs. When the room was empty, all the toys came to life and stared at Shadow. Someone was shocked by what happened and that Silver was still alive, and someone was already ready to tear the hedgehog into pieces so that it could not be restored. — Friends, listen to me! — Stretching his hands forward, he begged them not to touch him and not to get angry. — I was wrong then. My envy clouded my mind. But when I found myself on the street with Sonic and Silver, and then Oscar took us... — All the toys immediately gasped at what they heard. They were so afraid of Oscar that they didn't even want to say his name. But then Shadow continued: — While at his house, I realized that I was wrong... I really acted stupidly and disgustingly, throwing Silver out of the window... And Sonic himself... In... In... In part... Helped me... Knock all my crap out... From my head... Therefore... — lowering his head, he immediately began to cry and no longer wanted to see how they looked at him with their oppressive angry, turns away and continues. — Maybe it would be better for all of you... If Lily had never stitched me up at all?... — At the last moment, he honestly looked at them with his sad eyes in tears and finished: — Friends, forgive me! After what was said, he fell to the floor and was ready to be grabbed and even torn into pieces so that he could not be repaired. Eggman and Nickles were ready to do this, Tails, Amy, Blaze and Big were just wondering what they should do with him? Maybe he’s not lying to them? Only Cream fully believed that he was not lying. Standing as a wall in the way between Shadow and Eggman and Knuckles, who were already preparing to pounce on the black-scarlet and tear him apart. — Cream, get out of the way! - Knuckles asked. — No. — looking at them sternly, and also answers them rudely. Although she was smaller than them and thought of as harmless and innocently naive, she was still brave and courageous to stand up for the one she loved like a father. Eggman wanted to take her by the shoulders and move her away, but Amy Rose immediately stood up for her. — You will only touch my friend over my corpse! — she seriously told him, and then Blaze immediately stood up for her, without answering anything and sternly looking at Knuckles and Eggman in turn. Then Big, not understanding anything, scratched his head and said: — Of course, I don’t like conflicts, bu-u-ut... — falling silent, he also stood up as a wall behind Shadow. Then the two-tailed fox came to the defense of the black and scarlet one. The latter immediately stood up and did not expect that someone would believe him and come to his defense, because he expected that he would be severely punished for what he had done to Silver out of envy. Immediately, the rest of the toys came out of the chest, who, of course, heard everything and also came to Shadow’s defense. — Eggman, Knuckles. If he truly realizes his mistakes and truly repents, then we should give him a second chance! - says Omega. — Omega is right. Moreover, he returned home not alone, but together with Sonic and Silver himself. Maybe they will tell us everything and confirm that Shadow is not lying at all? — Rouge suggested. Eggman and Knuckles realize that they now have no reason to take revenge on Shadow for Silver.

At the same time

      David and Stephanie went back down and went into the kitchen. — Sorry for interfering with your personal conversation! — David apologized. — I would like to ask a couple of questions to Uncle Andrew! — Yeah! — Grandfather agreed and left the kitchen, going out to get the children. — What is the problem? — Stephanie said that you are a professional craftsman, you made toys yourself and even repaired them. Is there any way you can polish Sonic's eyes and fix that hole on Silver's leg? — the boy asked and gave the toy to Andrew. The latter scratched his beard, lost his mind and looked at such defects and said: — Don't even know. I had never repaired plastic toys before. But I'll try. — Thank you, uncle. — thanks the boy. About a couple of hours passed. Omarov Sr. was telling Drayton Sr. in the kitchen over tea and cookies about how he and Andrew had made peace, after which he decided to separate from his wife Karen, to which Ivan and Lili were surprised. — I hope you didn’t get into a fight? — asked Lili. — No no. I'm fine. And she’s probably already crying, I think, and trying to figure out how to make me take back everything I said. She will even chase me like a maniac. I think that we will probably have to do the same as you... Move!... By the way, when are you moving? — Dennis asked. — After two days. We were going today, but there were some problems with the van and everything was postponed. — Ivan answered. — It's clear. — Omarov sighed sadly. — It’s a pity that it all turned out this way... I missed so much time... — Listen, buddy, maybe you can move to the same place as us? There seems to be another house for sale. Let's live next door again! — Drayton laughed and Dennis became thoughtful. — What interesting things did I miss? Andrew asked as he walked into the kitchen with toys in his hands. — Yes, we are discussing our move. — Lili replied, then stared at the toys. — Um... Uncle Andrew, why are you holding Sonic and Silver? — Yes, the children have a little problem here. — he answered embarrassedly, after which the hedgehogs positioned themselves so that it was clear what they were talking about. At the sight of Sonic, Vanya almost had a heart attack. — Who did it?! Who is this barbarian?! — he was indignant, not wanting to believe that his son could have done this, since he knew that David valued his toys very much. — I’m afraid only my grandson could do this. Oscar often defaces toys for his own amusement. — Grandfather answered. — I'll try to fix them. For me this is a matter of honor! — But you always made toys only from wood. You've never worked with plastic. — the son reminded. — It’s never too late to learn something new, son. — said the old man. — Only, I will need your help. — Of course, dad! I will help as much as I can! — Dennis was, to put it mildly, shocked that a parent was asking for help in something he had been doing all his life.
