...

Station Square.

Emerald Dress Store.

Day Time.

Tikal and Blaze were picking out dresses while Amy was sitting down bored.

"This dress is beautiful!" Tikal said.

"The food court is over there." Amy said.

"Nah, its way to poofy!" Blaze said.

"I can smell the French fries." Amy said.

"This one is to skinny." Tikal said.

"Someone got French fries. Should we get some?" Amy asked.

"This dress is way to decent." Blaze said.

"I'll just go." Amy said, standing up.

"No!" Tikal and Blaze said, shouting before Amy even lifted a foot.

"What! Why not?" Amy asked, whining.

Tikal and Blaze were way too picky. Tikal, Blaze, and Amy had been shopping all morning and they hadn't picked anything yet. Tikal and Blaze also insisted to pick Amy a dress out because she had a terrible taste of fashion.

"We need you here!" Blaze said, holding up a dark blue dress to Amy's body. "Nope, it won't show your curves."

"Maybe this one will!" Tikal said, pushing a black dress towards Amy. "It does!"

"It's supposed to be a ball gown. She needs to look gorgeous." Blaze said loudly, catching the attention of other shoppers.

The cashier, Claudia, who was a red furred wolf and had sky blue eyes, who looked to be in her early 20s and in her usual outfit, long sleeved dark blue shirt, denim shorts, and brown shoes, snarled at Tikal, Blaze, and Amy before typing on her keyboard again with both hands.

Amy rolled her eyes at Claudia before looking at the dresses once again.

Blaze shrieked, catching the attention of other shoppers again. "Look at this! It's perfect for you, Amy!" she said, shoving a white dress in front of Amy.

The white dress truly was beautiful.

"Wow! Thanks, Blaze!" Amy said.

"What, no thanks to me?" Tikal asked pouting before shoving her face back into the dresses once more.

Amy laughed before sitting down in a comfy little armchair in the corner of the store.

...

10 minutes later.

After awhile of searching Tikal and Blaze finally found dresses that they liked as Tikal found a baby blue colored dress and Blaze found a dark purple dress.

"Wow! You both are gorgeous!" Amy said smiling as she, Tikal, and Blaze both posed for a selfie. "You both are ridiculous." rolled her eyes before going to the annoying bear cashier.

Amy laid the 3 dresses in front of Claudia and raised her eyebrow in wait for an answer.

"1632 dollars." Claudia said with her right hand out for the money.

"What...?" Amy asked, staring at Claudia.

"It's okay Sweetheart, I'll pay for that." a familiar husky male voice said behind Amy whispered into her right ear.

A bright red hedgehog man with chocolate brown eyes placed the money in front of Claudia and placed all the dresses on the bag. "There you go, my lady." he said.

"Thank you, Flare!" Amy said, laughing.

Tikal and Blaze squealed.

"Flare! Finally! Amy hasn't been the same without her boyfriend!" Blaze said, giggling.

"I missed you, Flare." Amy said smiling, wrapping her arms around Flare.

Flare leaned forward and touched his forehead to Amy's. "I missed you too." he said.

"How about we catch up, at my house?" Amy asked, hopefully.

"Of course! I'll drive you there." Flare said, holding Amy's left hand with his right hand and they walked through the mall, not before dragging Tikal and Blaze along with them.

"Flare, how did you know I was at the mall?" Amy asked, amused.

Flare scratched the back of his head with his left hand, his spiky red quills was now messed up even more. "I asked your mom." he said with a chuckle, his chocolate brown eyes glowing with laughter.

...

15 minutes later.

Outside.

Flare, Tikal, Blaze, and Amy all got into Flare's orange 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid as they weren't the richest people around. Flare had payed half the money he had for our dresses and Amy felt a bit guilty about that.

Flare was driving while Amy sat beside him on the right side, and from left to right Blaze and Tikal were sitting in the back.

On the way home Flare started to speak.

"What do you plan on doing when you actually grow up? You still act like children." Flare asked.

The last sentence was ignored by Tikal and Blaze.

Tikal held her hands together and sighed dreamily. "Marry the Werehog King." she said.

Blaze copied Tikal's actions. "And I will marry the Vampire King." she said.

"And you?" Flare asked Amy with a small smile.

"I will marry Flare and become Mrs. Ward." Amy said, giggling.

Flare smiled and pecked Amy's lips before focusing on the road again.

...

30 minutes later.

Amy's House.

Flare and Amy dropped Tikal and Blaze off at their houses. Once Flare and Amy got into Amy's light green house, my mother, Lily looked down at Flare.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Flare!" Lily said, smiling.

"Sorry, Mrs. Rose." Flare said mumbling, not sure what to say.

Amy giggled before walking away and leaving her mother with Flare and went into her room and looked over the royal ball invitation once again on a royal yellow card with her left hand.

It read. "You have been invited to the Royal Mating Ball. The Vampire King, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Werehog King, Shadow the Hedgehog, will be looking for their mates. If you get claimed by anyone else, you must go with them. Saturday, September 1st, 2018. 7:30 p.m."

"It looks like they didn't put much time into it. I don't think they care." Amy thought.

Amy looked down at her Iphone Xs Max and shrieked. "Oh no! Tomorrow is September 1st!" she said, closing her eyes. "I am so not ready for this."

...

Tomorrow.

Morning.

Flare, in his night clothes, a short sleeved brown shirt and long light grey pajama pants, and Amy, in her night clothes, a long sleeved dark red night gown and long black pants, were lying in bed.

Amy opened her eyes and smiled as the sunlight poured through the window. Flare's arms was suddenly wrapped around Amy's waist, and his forehead was touching the back of her head.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." Amy said whispered softly into Flare's ear.

Flare groaned. "I never get to sleep in bed with you, I'm not getting up." he said, protesting.

"Yes you are, after I do." Amy said then paused.

Flare seemed to stiffen.

"This." Amy said then tickled Flare.

Flare rolled off the bed and fell with an 'oof ' on the ground.

"Hey!" Flare said laughing then jumped back on the bed and began to tickle Amy with both hands.

Amy shrieked with laughter before she and Flare both rolled off the bed and tackled each other on the ground.

Blaze suddenly opened the door with her right hand.

"Amelia Rosalina Rose! What are you doing?" Blaze asked, gasping.

Blaze walked towards Flare and Amy then somehow pulled Flare off of Amy with both hands and got her up.

Flare and Amy both laughed.

Blaze raised an eyebrow. "Get out of the room, red head! I'm giving Amy a makeover!" she said.

Flare chuckled and ruffled Amy's long pink quills playfully with his left hand before he left out of the room.

"Blaze! Why a makeover?" Amy asked.

"The ball, what else?!" Blaze asked, cheering.

"Oh." Amy thought.

Blaze grabbed a light pink chair with both hands and made Amy sit down in front of her vanity. "Wait! You need to take a shower first!" she said, rolling her eyes at herself. "Silly me!"

Blaze pulled Amy up from the chair and pushed her with both hands.

"What about you and Tikal?" Amy asked as Blaze pushed her into the bathroom.

"Tikal is coming in later, and we are going to do our makeup all together!" Blaze said giggling before shutting the door behind her with her right hand.

Amy sighed.

...

20 minutes later.

Amy stepped outside with a large white fluffy towel wrapped around her body to see Tikal and Blaze standing outside.

"Finally! Now sit here!" Tikal said, ordering.

"Tikal probably came during my shower." Amy thought, sitting down in the chair again.

Tikal applied a light pink blush on Amy's cheeks before giving her some eyeliner with both hands and gave her clear lip gloss and studied her in the mirror.

"You look great! Now wear your dress on." Tikal said.

...

8 minutes later.

Amy wore the long white dress and white shoes that reached her knees on and twirled, she truly looked beautiful.

...

15 minutes later.

Once Tikal and Blaze were over, it was about 5:31 p.m. Tikal was wearing her baby blue colored dress with baby blue high heels and Blaze was wearing a dark purple dress with dark purple slippers.

"You 2 look amazing!" Amy said, smiling.

"More like sexy!" Tikal said, laughing.

Tikal, Blaze, and Amy stepped outside.

From Amy's house, it was a 1 hour drive to Castle Mobius.

...

1 hour later.

Castle Mobius.

Blaze laughed at what she saw outside as some animal girls hired a yellow carriage to take them to the castle.

"Wow." Amy said giggling. "They really wanted to make an impression."

Tikal stopped laughing when she saw a carriage pull up to them on the left side.

There was a young grey hedgehog male with orange eyes inside then he stepped out. "You ride is here, mam's." he said then opened the door for Tikal, Blaze, and Amy waited for us to get in.

"Well, lets go?" Tikal asked slowly before stepping into the carriage.

Blaze and Amy followed Tikal inside.

"Wow! It's beautiful!" Blaze said, squealing in delight.

Amy smiled at Blaze's behavior before looking outside the right small window.

All Amy could see were a blur of trees and the steady trotting of the horses. Awhile later Tikal, Blaze, and Amy arrived at the palace. Castle Mobius was a large black, dark grey, and red medieval-like castle with lots of statues and fountains. It was so grand and beautiful, it looked like it glowed.

"I wonder what it's like to live in there." Amy thought. "That's probably never going to happen."

"Out you go, Milady's." the grey hedgehog male said then bowed and sped away, probably for the next girls.

Amy looked at the entrance to the castle. There was a gigantic cue.

"Yes." Amy thought.

...

Inside.

A black and red hedgehog male a black tuxedo with a dark red dress shirt stood in the castle.

"Hello, King Shadow." a green squirrel male said.

Shadow nodded his head at the green male squirrel and looked around at the people in the Castle Mobius.

"King Shadow, you are looking quite handsome tonight." a dark brown bat male said.

"Thanks." Shadow said muttering before looking around again.

Shadow smelled something delicious, cinnamon and roses.

"She's here." Shadow thought.

Drago, Shadow's feral white wolf, yelped with excitement.

Shadow's crimson red eyes widened with hope to see her and he purred with pleasure at her scent.

"You seem to like it when I do this, King Shadow." a blond fox female said, smugly.

Shadow was snapped out of his thoughts and he stared at the blonde fox female, that had shoulder length fur, purple eyes, and was wearing a spring green dress with light red high heels that kept talking to her.

The blonde fox female was sliding her hands up Shadow pants.

Shadow slapped the blonde fox female hands away with his right hand.

"Enough, bitch." Shadow said, snarling. "I found my mate, I need her."

Shadow began to walk away when that annoying blonde fox girl grabbed his right hand with her left hand.

"It must have been me, baby!" the blonde fox girl said crying out, her nails digging into Shadow's fur and skin.

Shadow gritted his teeth in frustration as the only thing blonde fox girl's touch did was sending waves of disgust through his body.

Shadow pushed blonde fox girl off with his right hand. "Just go away." he said.

Shadow turned around and ran off towards the scent.

...

Somewhere else in the Room.

A spiky cobalt blue hedgehog male with emerald green eyes and wearing a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt, sat silently in a brown wooden chair drinking from a glass of red 'wine' with his right hand.

"How is the blood, my king Sonic?" a dark green alligator male asked, sweat gleaming on his forehead.

"It's fine, thank you." the cobalt blue hedgehog male said smirking.

The dark green alligator male blew out a breath of relief and quickly walked away to take another order.

Sonic was the 'scary' king as people say. Shadow was the calm one. Sonic liked his reputation better than Shadow's.

Sonic was about to take another sip then he froze as he smelled something delicious. Cinnamon and roses.

"My beloved is here! I finally found her." Sonic thought.

Sonic dropped the glass with his right hand and it shattered as it hit the floor. The dark green alligator male bartender frantically came and began to clean it up with both hands.

Sonic ignored the weeping dark green alligator man and walked towards the delicious smell.

...

Entrance.

Once Tikal, Blaze, and Amy entered Amy was overwhelmed by all the people here. There were many animal men and women waltzing across the dance floor, some men talking about something over beer, women fawning over each other's dresses. It was magnificent.

Tikal walked over to the bar. "I'll be over here if you need me!" she said, calling over to Blaze and Amy before turning over to order something.

Blaze ran off towards a group of girls.

"Such great friends." Amy thought then looked around and wondered what to do and she turned towards the entrance. "I could just leave?"

Amy turned around with an 'thud' as she hit a hard chest and she looked up and saw a handsome black and red hedgehog hedgehog male. A handsome sexy black and red hedgehog male with the most charming crimson red eyes Amy has ever seen.

"Hello, beautiful." the black and red hedgehog male said.

"H-hi." Amy said, stuttering. "Why did I feel so self-conscious around this random guy?" she thought.

The black and red hedgehog male laughed and Amy felt her face heat up.

"Would you like to dance?" the black and red hedgehog male asked Amy.

"I-I can't." Amy said then paused then blurred out. "I really can't dance!"

The black and red hedgehog male's laughter was like music to Amy's ears. "Follow my lead." he said then took her left hand with his right hand and led Amy to the dance floor.

...

4 minutes later.

Amy got the hang of it and she didn't step on the black and red hedgehog male's feet at all.

"Yes!" Amy thought, mentally cheered.

"My name is Shadow. What is your name, beautiful?" the black and red hedgehog male asked.

Amy couldn't just tell Shadow her name. "Emily." she said with a small smile.

"Emily?" Shadow asked looking confused, as if it didn't seem right. "Are you lyin-?"

The music changed and a cobalt blue hedgehog male grabbed Amy's left arm with his right hand and twirled her away.

Amy lost sight of Shadow.

Amy danced with the cobalt blue hedgehog male silently, for some reason, she had the same feeling for the cobalt blue hedgehog male that she had with Shadow.

"You have a boyfriend, Amy!" Amy thought.

"What is your name?" the cobalt blue hedgehog male asked. "My name is Sonic." smirking down at Amy.

"The nerve!" Amy thought.

"Amber." Amy said, quickly. "Why did everyone want to know my name?" she thought.

Amy heard a familiar female voice calling her. "Amb-" she said.

"I'm coming!" Amy said, cutting the familiar female voice off quickly.

"I didn't want this man to know my name! They could be stalkers for all I know." Amy thought.

Sonic's grip on Amy's left arm with his right hand tightened.

Amy stiffened.

Sonic quickly let go. "Sorry." he said, muttering.

Amy ran off towards Blaze.

Blaze seemed to be shocked.

"What's wrong, Blaze?" Amy asked Blaze.

Tikal was running towards Blaze and Amy, obviously drunk.

Blaze gasped. "You danced with the Vampire King Sonic?" she asked.

Amy froze and she turned around as Sonic was still staring at her with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Tikal smiled. "King Shadow was totally into her as well." she said giggling, flipped her dreadlocks over her shoulder with her left hand.

"What?" Amy asked in a small voice. "I had danced with the 2 kings?" she thought.

Amy looked around for Shadow and her eyes widened as he was walking up to his throne and Sonic was too.

The music stopped as from left to right, both King Shadow and King Sonic sat down in their thrones then began to quietly discuss something.

"We should leave..." Amy said, dragging Tikal and Blaze with both hands towards the exit.

The 2 grey wolf guards didn't let Tikal, Blaze,and Amy go.

"Hey! Move out of the way!" Tikal said then kneed a grey wolf male guard before she ended up hugging her right knee with both hands and moaned in pain.

"You can not leave until the kings' have claimed their mate and beloved." one of the grey wolf guards said, telling Tikal, Blaze, and Amy.

"Oh no!" Amy said.

...

1 minute later.

Thrones.

Once Shadow reached the thrones and sat down he immediately growled at Sonic, who was smiling.

"He was smiling? Dreamy? What is wrong with him?" Shadow thought.

"Why are you smiling, you idiot? That was my mate you danced with." Shadow asked growling, his claws threatening to come out of his gloves.

Sonic looked confused. "She was my mate!" he said, hissing at Shadow.

"What did she smell like?" Shadow asked, challenging Sonic.

"Cinnamon and Roses." Sonic said murmuring, a small smile on his face.

"That's what I smelled." Shadow said, muttering. "She's our mate." he realized. "What do we do now?"

"Tell everyone!" Sonic said, snorting.

"Sires, It is time to tell everyone if you found your mates, and who they are." a red hedgehog male said.

"We will, thank you Flare." Shadow said, looking at the left side.

Shadow's most trusted red hedgehog male guard bowed then walked away.

As soon as Shadow and Sonic stood up, the room was silent.

"We have found her." Shadow said.

Shadow and Sonic loudly said the pink hedgehog female's her name is.

"Emily." Shadow said.

"Amber." Sonic said.

Shadow and Sonic and said at the same time then they quickly stared at each other.

"Didn't we have the same mate?" Shadow thought.

Then Shadow and Sonic both snapped their heads back to the crowd when they heard the small voice of their rosy pink hedgehog female mate.

"Oh no!" the rosy pink hedgehog female said, from far away.

Then the rosy pink hedgehog female left, sprinting out of the ball room down the hallway.

"She lied to us about her name." Shadow said, realizing.

Sonic nodded then looked back at the crowd. "Uh, what about all those girls?" he asked.

Shadow looked down and winced. Many animal girls named 'Emily' and 'Amber' where fighting their way to the front.

"Shut up!" Shadow and Sonic said, growling.

The animal girls stopped pushing.

Shadow stepped down from the throne and ordered his animal guards to look for a rosy pink hedgehog girl with long pink quills that hung to her knees that was straight but slightly wavy, jade green eyes, a long white dress and white shoes that reached her knees. Shadow didn't know the rosy pink hedgehog female's name so he couldn't do anything about that.

"Hey you, Flare boy." Sonic said snapping, calling Flare over to him.

"Yes, your majesty?" Flare asked, bowing and stepping forward.

"What's your last name?" Sonic asked, looking over at Flare on the right side.

"Ward, Flare Ward sire." Flare said.

"Go find her." Sonic said.

"I-I can't." Flare said, stuttering.

"Why not?" Sonic asked, hissing at Flare.

"She-She's my-" Flare said but was cut off.

"Flare!" Shadow said, calling the bright hedgehog male over.

Flare looked at Sonic for a moment before he ran over to his other king.

"Stupid guard." Sonic said, looking around. "Silver!" calling his white hedgehog male Royal Beta over.

Sonic described her looks to Silver and he ran off in search for her, Shadow's beta did the same.

"Let's search the Ballroom for her, she might've come back to confuse everyone." Shadow said, growling. "I'm losing my temper, I need her, fast."

Sonic nodded as he had a similar problem.

"Now we just had to wait until we found her." Sonic thought.

...

One of the Hallways.

Amy sprinted down the hallway. Once Amy reached the end, it separated into 3 different hallways.

"Dammit. Now what do I do? I'll just go with the straight one." Amy thought running forward, reaching a door with her left hand.

Amy opened it and heard screaming and crying. "Great, now what?" she thought, silently walking towards the sound, her back against the wall.

"Tell us, you bitches, where did she run?" an unknown male voice asked.

"Who the hell is that?" Amy thought.

Amy peeked around a corner and her eyes widened as she choked on a sob when she saw her friends chained to the wall, blood covering their tear stricken faces.

"W-we will never tell you!" Tikal said, gasping for air as a black echidna male guard choked her with his left hand.

Blaze cried out in pain as a brown fox male guard whipped her with his right hand.

"Tell me, or else your parents die." the brown fox male said, sneering.

"Beta Silver, if we stay here any longer, we might suck the girls dry." the brown male fox said.

"N-no, please..." Blaze said.

Silver hissed. "Tell me, What is her name?" he asked.

"E-Amy," Blaze hoarsely whispered.

The black echidna male loosened his hold on Tikal's neck with his left hand, she collapsed.

Amy held her breath and turned around. "I need to get Tikal and Blaze out." she thought.

"Beta, we need to find her, I can feel the king's rage." the black echidna said.

Amy heard footsteps as Silver, the black echidna male, and the brown fox male walked down another hallway connecting to that room.

Once the door shut, Amy stepped into the room.

"Blaze, Tikal..." Amy said whispering then ran over to Tikal and Blaze.

"Amy, leave!" Blaze said whimpering, gasping. "They'll find you."

"What?!" Amy asked sadly, surprised.

Tikal coughed. "Go, please." she said, crying out.

"No, I'm not leaving you 2 here!" Amy said then grabbed some of the chains with both hands and started pulling on them. "They'll kill you."

"Please Amy! You have to run!" Blaze said.

Amy stood there as a few tears escaped her eyes then she looked up at Tikal and Blaze. "I'm not leaving you 2. I'm going to find help and get you 2 out of here. And make them pay!" she said then released the chains before she bolted out of the room. "I'll kill those 2!" she thought.

Amy ran out of the door she came in from. There was another door a few feet away. Running over, Amy entered that room and she shrieked when she saw a half naked light blue hedgehog male with a white towel hanging dangerously low from his waist.

The light blue hedgehog male turned around. "Hey! Get out of here!" he said walking towards Amy and pushed her out of the room with both hands and shut the door with his right hand.

"That was awkward." Amy thought.

Amy stood there for a few moments, trying to register what she just saw in her mind then she remembered. "I'm on the run!" she thought.

"Hey you! Stop right there!" a male voice said, yelling.

Amy turned around and saw that white hedgehog male, Silver.

"Yes?" Amy asked, trying to act normal.

"Are you Amy?" Silver asked looked down at Amy, his gaze questioning.

"No, I'm afraid I'm not her, I wish I was!" Amy said, gushing. "She's so lucky, with both the kings after her, I-"

Silver stopped Amy. "Look for this Amy girl, we need her." he said.

"Alright?" Amy asked.

Silver ran off and his guards, the black echidna male and the brown fox male following.

"The guys are really idiots." Amy thought then secretly followed them.

...

Ballroom.

Shadow let out a feral growl as his hands gripping the table sheets, the rosy pink hedgehog female was nowhere to be found.

"Wait until I have you in my arms, my little mate. I'll punish you for running away-" Shadow thought but was cut off by a sudden mind link.

"Alpha, Alpha did you receive my message?" Flare thought.

"What message?" Shadow thought growled through the link.

"The royal Vampire Beta has found her. She was acting as if she wasn't herself." Flare thought.

"I don't care! Bring her, now!" Shadow thought yell at his Beta then blocked him from his mind.

Shadow let a smirk form on his face. "Oh my sweet little mate, you've just made everything worse." he thought.

...

Somewhere else in the Room.

"Silver, did you get anything out of those girls?" Sonic thought.

"Yes, Alpha. Her name is Amy." Silver thought.

"Amy. It was perfect. Such a beautiful name." Sonic thought.

"Alpha?" Silver thought.

"What?" Sonic thought, snapping at Silver.

"She's got terrible acting skills. She's following us right now, we are leading her straight to you." Silver thought.

"Perfect, do it fast." Sonic thought.

Sonic looked at Shadow, he was smirking. Sonic guess Shadow was creepier when it came to mates and he positioned himself in front of the ballroom doors. Amy was in for a surprise.

...

One of the Hallways.

"Where are they going now?" Amy thought.

Amy followed Silver, the black echidna male, and the brown fox male as they were murmuring about something, and laughing and why the hell where they laughing?

"This hallway looks familiar." Amy thought as she passed the 3 hallway split. "I've been here before!" Amy followed Silver, the black echidna male, and the brown fox male to a gigantic double door.

"Wait a second. That's just great, I'm the stupid one now." Amy thought.

"Got you." Silver said.

The annoying voice of that Beta Silver boy exclaimed from behind Amy and he pushed her forward with both hands and she fell into the arms of Sonic.

Amy put her hands on Sonic's chest and tried pushing herself away from him with both hands but he didn't even budge.

Sonic hugged Amy tightly with both hands. "Why did you run?" he asked.

"Because I don't want to be your mate!" Amy said then tried pushing herself away from Sonic with both hands, and it worked then she got pulled into Shadow's arms.

Shadow buried his face in Amy's pink quills and began to sniff her.

"Get off me!" Amy said.

Amy tried pushing Shadow off, all he did was smirk and pull her closer.

"You shouldn't have done that." Shadow said.

Amy's eyes widened with fear.

Sonic hissed at Shadow. "Get your hands off of my mate!" he said.

Shadow snarled back at Sonic. "She's my mate too." he said.

Sonic grabbed Amy's left arm with his right hand and tugged her towards him.

Shadow grabbed Amy's right arm with his left hand and tugged.

"Let go of me you mindless idiots! I'm not a rope for you 2 to play tug-of-war with!" Amy said yelling at Shadow and Sonic.

Shadow and Sonic released Amy with surprised looks on their faces.

Amy huffed and smoothed her dress down with both hands. "Give me my friends back! You had no right to mercilessly torture them like that!" she said.

"How do you know about your friends?!" Silver asked.

Sonic shot Silver a glare and he shut himself up.

"Right, sorry about that." Sonic said, laughing nervously. "Uh, I'll send them to a hospital."

"Thanks, I'll leave now." Amy said turning around, running towards the door.

"Not so fast, little Amy." Sonic said laughing.

Amy slammed in to Sonic's chest.

"W-what, but how?!" Amy asked, surprised.

"Vampire speed." Sonic said, smirking.

"When did you get her name?" Shadow asked, snarling.

"I have my ways." Sonic said snapping at Shadow before pulling Amy into his chest with both hands.

"Let. Me. Go!" Amy said, yelling into Sonic's chest. "These 2 are so frustrating to deal with!" she thought.

"No." Sonic said.

"Let her go." Shadow said, growling.

"I'll hold her while you 2 decide what to do." a bright right red hedgehog said.

"Flare?" Amy thought, smiling.

"Flare!" Amy said yelling.

Sonic let go of Amy in surprise.

"You 2, listen to what I'm about to say." Amy said, walking over to Flare and stood on the right side of him.

Shadow and Sonic both looked at Flare and Amy, their eyes narrowed in anger at how close she was to him.

"Flare here, is my boyfriend." Amy said smiling, wrapping her arms around Flare.

Shadow's eye began to twitch.

Sonic looked completely fine. "Hey Silver?" he asked, calling his beta.

"Yes?" Silver asked, looking scared.

"Take Amy out of the room, will you?" Sonic asked.

Flare gulped beside Amy.

Silver hurried forward and grabbed Amy with both hands then pulled her. Amy tried to hang on to Flare before she forcibly pulled away from him by Silver, who dragged her out.

"Hey! What are you going to-" Amy asked but was cut off when the doors shut.

Leaving Amy on the other side of the room with Silver.

"You wouldn't want to know." Silver said.

"Why-" Amy asked but was stopped when she heard the screams of pain, and a body hitting the door from the other side.

"You little bastard!" Shadow said.

More snarling, hissing, thuds, and shattering.

"Flare!" Amy said, running towards the door but was stopped when she was suddenly held bridal style by Silver.

"Let me go! I have to help Flare!" Amy said, trying to get out of Silver's grip.

Silver held Amy tightly. "I can't do that." he said.

Amy stopped struggling as tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. "Silver, what are they doing to my Flare?" she asked, whimpering.

Silver looked sadly. "I'm sorry, I truly am." he said.

Amy broke out into a full sob.

Silver placed Amy's head on his furred chest with his right hand then hugged her.

In other situations, Amy would've slapped Silver, but not now. Not now when Amy is experiencing the true meaning of loss.
