Amy Rose, a cyber pink hedgehog, fixed her red headband as she sat down at her lunch table, at her slightly noisy high school. Laughter and chit-chat filled the air, coming from the group of people she was sitting with. These people, including her, were all tightly tied together by a string called friendship.

Amy sighed as she pulled herself from her thoughts and joined in the conversation of her six best friends, who were laughing about a joke Knuckles had said… well, he was making jokes most of the time.

"Hey! Amy's back on Mobius!" the red echidna said as he noticed Amy finally joining in, nudging her side.

"Very funny, Knuckles." Amy replied. Everyone's laughter settled down. It got a bit too quiet, and Blaze's voice broke the silence.

"Hey, did we have any Bio homework? I mean, I double checked and everything but I may have just forgot to write it down and-" "No Blaze!" We all interrupted her. Typical Blaze, always worrying about stuff like that.

"Just wondering," she said as she put her hands up in defense and her expression faded into sadness. Silver, who was sitting next to her, had eyes filled up with sympathy and concern.

"Well, this just got boring." Rouge said, as she picked up her Gucci purse and searched in it aimlessly. "It's a Friday night, I mean, do we have anything to do around here?"

"Hey! You have me!" Knuckles replied, and put his arm around her, and she flashed him a sparkling smile in return, which resulted in many fake throw up noises from the rest of them.

A high-pitched voice piped into the conversation, "Hey, maybe we should go to the beach!" Cream said excitedly as her bunny ears bounced up and down.

At the thought of that, Amy Rose's eyes narrowed. That reminded her of a certain someone… someone she's been meaning to forget. But, she had to let it go like the rest of them. I mean, the beach was really fun! Him being gone can't stop him from living her life.

"Yeah! That sounds fun! Despite my fire power, the beach is a lovely place to me," Blaze's voice perked up.

"...In the middle of September?" Silver asked, as if they were crazy.

"What are you, scared to get a wittle cold?" Blaze responded, teasingly, and Silver's cheeks went from silver to a tint of red.

"Plus, have you seen the weather lately? It's crazy! It has barely been cold at all!" Cream added, and all they all nodded their heads in unison.

Silver was using his psychokinesis to throw out his lunch, and when it finally landed in the garbage with a thud, he turned back to us. "Okay. You win! I'm in!"

"Man, that power was made for the ultimate lazy person," Knuckles said with his eyes wide, "But we're in." He pulled Rouge closer to him.

"I guess that means I'll be there too." Shadow said with his very unheard voice.

"And that leaves you... Amy? Will you be joining us?"

Amy was playing with her food anxiously, but quickly looked up. "Yeah! I'll be there," she said with semi-forced enthusiasm, and placed a half-hearted smile on her face. Her pink quills bopped up and down as she got up and made her way to the garbage, and tried to keep her head with positive thoughts. She came back to the table and placed herself back down in the middle of Knuckles and Cream.

"So... no Bio homework?" Blaze asked and we all let out a groan that could be heard miles away.

"Which one?" the cream-colored rabbit asked excitedly, holding in one hand an orange bikini with yellow polka dots, and in another a one-piece with pink and white swirls covering it completely.

"Cream, they're both adorable!" Amy responded. A red glittery one-piece was her beach wear for today, although she didn't really plan on going in the water. Memories lived there, not that they didn't exist everywhere else, but it's hard enough with that.

She went to her bed, which was against the wall opposite of Cream's, and reached under her pillow case. Pain filled her as she held the crumpled up picture in her palm. It showed a female and male hedgehog. The female was a beautiful white, like an angle, and the male was red, with sparkling green eyes, and they were both smiling happily as ever, with Amy Rose in between them. It wasn't even that long ago, but it wasn't yesterday, like it felt like.

"I miss you..." she whispered, and could almost hear the sirens.

"So, I decided to go with the swirls!" Cream said, twirling and giggling, "Whadda ya think?"

Caught off guard, Amy shoved the picture back under her pillow case and stammered, "Y-yeah, it look's great! Totally made for you!" Cream smiled and nodded in satisfaction. We grabbed our towels, and headed downstairs.

Miss Vanilla's voice came from the kitchen, "Be careful! And be home by 9! And don't talk to strangers!"

"Yes, mom!" Cream replied, and with that we headed out the door, and made our way to the beach.

Cream and Amy walked along the sidewalk and the sun was beating bright on them. The sound of their flip flops hitting the soles of their feet echoed throughout them. "So Amy, how's it been?" Cream asked, trying to break the silence between them.

"Cream, we live with each other. We basically know each other's lives, you know how it's been." Amy replied with a grin, and Cream let out a laugh.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I just hope you know me and my mother are always here. I know it's been half a year but I know I would not be as strong as you are if I was in your situation. So if you ever want to be a little less strong, I'm here."

"You saw me with the photograph?"

Cream nodded slowly, "Possibly... I just wanted to remind you that again. You'll always have us."

"Thanks, Cream. That means a lot." A smile appeared on the pink hedgehogs face. "Here's something to talk about. How heavy these freakin' beach chairs are!"

Amy gasped for air as she dropped everything on the fine sand, "Phew. Remind us to just bring a towel and sit on THAT the next time we come here."

"Hello, ladies." Rouge said, floating up to them. "It's a beautiful day if I do say so myself. Blaze and the boys are down near the water, and I was generous enough to come up here and welcome you," she winked and gestured them to follow her to the water. The smell of the ocean air filled their noses.

"Amy! Cream!" they heard Blaze scream, "Thank gosh you're here! Those psychos decided to push me straight in!" she cried, flames igniting all around her fur, and Knuckles, Silver, and even Shadow, were in the water dying of laughter, struggling to keep themselves upright. Silver even got knocked over by a wave, they were laughing at that harder. They were clearly getting enjoyment out of Blaze's fury.

Everyone joined in the laughter, even Blaze after a while.

"Well, I'm going in!" Cream said walking in the water, once the laughter died down. "But if any of you push me, you will regret it!" she made clear, passing Silver, Shadow and Knuckles already in the water.

Everyone ended up going in, even Blaze after she got over her bitterness. Contrary to Amy's belief, it ended up being really fun.

After a long day of splashing and going under or over waves, Silver was moving water with his psychokinesis, Knuckles was just watching him, shaking his head, Shadow had gone walking and as for the girls, they were all just floating in the blue abyss.

"The waves are getting super high, guys." Cream said, with a hint of fear in her voice.

"So? I can just fly away. Ha." Rouge said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Well, I think I'm getting out. Anyone wanna join?"

"Eh, fire and water can be friends for a little bit, but I think it's time to end this friendship. I'll join," Blaze said, and Cream and her made there way out of the water.

"So it's only us, pinkie," Rouge said, as waves lifted us up and down.

"Yeah, seems so," Amy replied. A long silence came over them, and the sound of the ocean filled their ears.

"I love the sound," Rouge said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, it's nice. How's the boytoy?" the hedgehog asked, giggles escaping from her mouth.

"Haha, very funny. He's great. We need to get YOU a boytoy," the bat said with a wink.

"Ehhh, I don't think so. I think I'm destined to be alone."

"Oh shush, get over blue boy, hun. We need to find you someone. And I say this cause I care."

A wave of hurt came over Amy, but she knew Rouge was right. Sulking over someone after they've been gone for a little over a year is not how she should be spending her time. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Good luck finding someone though."

"Boost that confidence, sweethear-"

"AMY!" the sound of Cream's scream faintly made it to Amy's ear, when a wave took her under, sending her down.

So, is it good? Should I keep it going? Ah. I just don't know! Leave a review brosephs ^-^
