Chapter 1
Highschool Begins
Sonic the hedgehog got out of bed. This morning was new, yet familiar. Next to him, a female hedgehog wearing blue furry pajamas layed sleeping. It was none other than Amy Rose. Although Sonic loved Amy, there was another that held his heart. She however was gone. She visited once in a while, but not once did she ever try to rekindle the relationship. The girl was Emerald the Hedgehog.
Sonic had his eyes closed in thought when he almost jumped at the touch of a hand on his shoulder. He looked behind him alarmed, but calmed down instantly when he saw amy. "Anything wrong honey?" Amy asked, slightly worried. "No... just remembering..." Sonic said, pausing. "Oh..." Amy replied, knowing the day too. The day Emerald the Hedgehog had died.
Murdered was a more appropriate term. A giant snake came out of a river and attempted to drown sonics second son. Emerald got Lucky out of the way but was taken instead. She was drowned. Amy knew the event hurt Sonic badly. The two were almost inseperable. Now... they were more distant than two planets. Amy accepted Emerald as a sister. Simply because, Emerald encouraged their marriage. Emerald wanted what was best for Sonic, and him marrying her was it. So Amy accepted.
"she visits today you know... do you think... Lu..." Amy started. "no... after last time, i'm surprised Lucky has even shown his face" Sonic replied, somewhat coldly. "how can you say that? he's your son!" Amy said surprised. "i meant... Lucky has a bad past. and Lucky has atoned... but he doesn't think so. what he did... he blames himself and doesn't forgive himself. especially after saying what he did to his mother... i'm surprised. his sense of justice usually would've kept him away" Sonic explained, knowing his son perfectly well.
"oh, sorry" Amy said. "it's alright. even though i know what he's going through... that doesn't mean i understand. i'll never know what it's like to see my mother drown in front of me..." Sonic said, staring sadly at the ground. the sound of groaning seperated Sonic from his thoughts. "Looks like sophia is up" Sonic said
later that morning, Sonic was walking sophia to school. ever since Emeralds death Sonic slowed down a lot. "so dad, is Emerald coming by?" Sophia asked, slightly curious. "yep. make sure you don't lose that holy stone she gave you" Sonic said. "i won't. i promise" Sophia said. "you know, you could've told us that it hurt being around her. we would've helped you" Sonic said. "i'm sorry. i just didn't want to make Emerald feel guilty" Sophia said, Sonic chuckled. "just like me. don't worry about it" Sonic said, stopping "well, i'll see you later. and don't forget to get on the bus after school". "alright dad, bye!" she said, watching him walk away. the school bus rode up and stopped, she walked through the opened doors.
