Part 18


Sonic's POV

               I think we all wanted to get out of there as soon as we could. Well, except for Shadow. He just stood there with a retarded look on his face. I couldn't blame him. Amy doesn't really blow up like that very often. Which took me back to my problem. And though it's hard to admit, taking out eggman is probably easier that dealing with girls. Even T ails was better at these thing than I was. Maybe he would have some good ideas about this.

               Glancing up, I realized I had been pacing. My expression in the lake reflected just what I had been thinking: Hopeless Confusion. The best thing would just have to ask for help. After all- Sally was always hounding me about it. It wasn't my fault, Emotional and Physical help are completely different. And it always seemed I was the one helping.

                                                           "I need to go get Tails."

                Luckily, his workshop had a large glass window on the side facing the trees. It would have been a pain trying to get in and out of there completely unnoticed. Grabbing a rock, I chucked it at the smooth surface. It hit with a resounding clink, also leaving a large chip.

                                                                    …..

                                                    Hopefully he wouldn't see that.

                 He was in there alright, in fact, he ran up to the window all panicky. The kind of panicky that you get when you mix little children and horror movies. Spotting me almost immediately, he unlatched the window and jumped out.

                "Hey Sonic!" He yelled, running over to me. "Hey. Umm listen Tails, I was wondering if I could ask you something." I mumbled incoherently, scuffing my foot around. "Sure," He looked surprised, "but somewhere else ok? There's a…situation...going on inside..." I flicked my ear toward the open window, and could hear some kind of yelling coming from inside, slowly growing louder. "I don't know what the situation is Tails, but I think it's coming closer. His eyes widened, he turned toward me and shoved at my chest.

                                        "Hurry- hide behind that bush. Save yourself; I'll deal with this."

                 My mind was racing. What was it??? An enemy? I focused all my mind on the sound.

                            "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

     The sound got louder- I could now hear footsteps thumping along the floor, even from where I was.

                                        "MAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"

                          "Tails," I began hastily, "Maybe this isn't a good idea. Let me take care of it."
                                         "SHH!" He whispered back, "I got this. Just stay quiet."

                                                    " GAWWWWWWWDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!"

               The door to the workshop slammed open, so strong it broke the first hinge. Standing in the wood chip dust was a scary figure, another mobian, by the looks of it. As the dust settled, my jaw dropped.

                                                             "Knuckles?"

                He had a really excited look on his face; almost like one of those creepy rape/la faces. "HEYY TAILS!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. I glanced over at Tails, who somehow managed to keep a straight face.

                                   "Hey Knuckles, you said you had some good news to share with us..?"

                   He looked so proud; you could almost see him bursting with it. "I WON!!!!!"

                                                        "That's cool, what did you win?"

               I almost wish I had a camera to get this. He never acted like this. This was the gayest, happiest, craziest Knuckles I had ever seen. I really wanted to use it for blackmail. But then his entire face changed. Into a sarcastic depressed look.

                                             "Ohh I don't know Tails…" He said in a really soft voice.

                                                        "…it's just that…"

                                 "I WON A TEN THOUSAND FU*KING DOLLAR SHOPPING SPREE!!!!!!"

          Tails smiled normally, congratulating him. "That's awesome; why don't you go tell Rouge about it?"

               "OK! IM GONNA BUY SOME MORE WEDDING PRESENTS FOR US AND SOME JEWELS AND MAYBE SOME CLEANING CLOTHS FOR THE MASTER EMERALD…….." His shouting continued as he pranced out of the room and down the hall.

               The yellow fox sweatdropped, and then turned to me. "Sorry 'bout that, he's been like this all afternoon. I don't think he's even realized that he's already told us about 8 times already. You left at just the right time- ten minutes before he came barging in the door. Anyway, what was it you wanted to ask me?" I climbed up on the roof, Tails following me.

                                     "I assume you heard about Amy…? And what she did..?"

               He glanced over at me, probably trying to see what I was thinking. "Yea, I saw actually. What are you gonna do? I thought you already asked Sally about this." I sighed, "Well that's what I wanted to ask you. I've messed up the situation enough already; and you know how I feel. I also know that unless I fix this fast, the chance won't last any longer." Staring at my hands, I tried to search for an answer in the seam of the glove. "Well, the best thing would just to tell her how you feel, wouldn't it?"He said slowly. "I know, I know," I said desperately, "but if I couldn't say it too her all these years, how could I now?" He nodded, "We just have to say it indirectly then." "How, though?" I asked, looking up at him now. "It's a good idea, but how?"He looked away, down at the ground, probably also looking for an answer. The wind blew a leaflet of paper across the lawn. An old ad for the cartoon I was in.

                                Tails suddenly smiled, "Hey Sonic, you still got that old picture?"

                                                            "Which one Tails?"

                                   "You know, the one that Amy always wants to destroy?"

                                            I began to smile too, "Aha! I get it now."

                                            Jumping off the roof, I got ready to run.

                                 "You better hurry." He said, "There's not much daylight left."

                        "Thanks buddy; you helped me out a lot today." I called over my shoulder.

                                            "We should do this again sometime."


Amy's POV


               I woke with a start; Shadow's face was still imprinted in my mind. It was one of those days where you wake up from a weird dream and can't stop thinking about it all day.

                                                                  Except-

                It wasn't daytime at all. It was the middle of the night. The starry sky stretched out like a blanket; and the sand its bed. The tide had rose, and was actually very close to lapping at my feet. I sighed. There was no way I could go back to sleep now. There was sand everywhere. In my hair, my neck, and between my toes. I might as well head home. Maybe a hot shower and my fluffy bed could help me. The chaos emerald had formed an uncomfortable lump in my pocket. Dragging it out I winced as the sharp end dragged along my palm. "Chaos Control…." I mumbled sleepily. The red light surrounded me, way too bright for my eyes at this hour.

                When I got to the driveway, the dream came back to me once again. A little hazier this time, but I could still feel the clench of unease in my stomach as I made my way up the steps.  

                                         "That's weird; the porch light is already on."

                It was when I heard a rustle that I started to worry. Looking to the side of the door I saw a blue hedgehog sitting on the steps. He smiled at me.

                                                        "Hey Ames- It's pretty late isn't it?"
