"I'll get you, Sonic the Hedgehog! Even if it's the last thing I do!" Eggman shouted as he flew away. Sonic grinned from the ground.

"Sure, Baldy McNoseHair! I'll always stop you!" the blue hedgehog laughed along with Tails and Knuckles. ""After this, I'm in a need to get a chili hotdog. You guys want some? My treat." The hedgehog said as he started to walk out of Eggman's recently destroyed base towards the Tornado.

Knuckles shocked his head. "No thanks. Those things are disgusting and besides, I need to get back to Angel Island."

"And you Tails?"

"Sure, why not?" Tails smiled. "You can bring some to Amy as well…" He grinned.

Sonic blushed a little. "I would, but I don't think she wants to see me. Let alone anyone."

"What did you do this time? Forgot one of your 'dates' with Amy?" Knuckles grinned as well.

Sonic rolled his eyes at his friends. "No. It's not that. The problem is that she has been very antisocial lately."

"And you miss her company?" Tails asked.

"It's not that either, Tails. She doesn't even come out of her house. She no longer chases me, she doesn't come to fight Eggman, and Cream told me Amy has been ignoring her. Her best friend!"

Tails looked at Sonic concerned. "Don't you think it's best to talk to her?"

Sonic shocked his head. "If Cream can't get her out of her house, nobody can, Tails. Nobody." With those last words, Sonic Tails and Knuckles boarded the Tornado and flew away.

"But knowing Cream, she won't give up…" Tails thought.

OOO

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Amy? Are you there?" A little female rabbit, with a chao accompanying her, stood in front of Amy Rose's front door. She was holding a large brown bag on her petite hands. "I brought you cookies! Your favorites!"

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Amy?"

A crashing sound was heard from inside the house. "Go away, Cream…" was heard from the other side of the door.

"Don't you want the cookies? Amy, please, come out. I need you."

Amy sighed from the other side of the door. "Sorry Cream. But I can't go out right now."

"Are you sick?" The rabbit asked.

There was a long pause from the other side of the door. "Somehow… I don't think it's contagious, but I don't want to risk it."

Cream lowered her hears. She really hoped that after a week and a half, Amy will finally come out and have some tea with her. But she couldn't. "Alright…" She whispered. "I'll leave the cookies in front of your door so you can pick them up."

"Thank you, Cream. Goodbye."

"Bye." Cream turned around and left the house. She tried so hard not to cry. What was wrong with Amy? Cheese placed a petite paw on the rabbit's shoulder. She smiled a little and walked back home.

Amy opened the door and grabbed the bag of cookies. She slammed the door, lock it and sat down on the floor. She opened the bag revealing fresh strawberry homemade cookies and grabbed one. She took a bite of the fresh cookie, but the cookie froze while she munched away her bite. She sighed and threw the cookie on the floor.

"Don't worry, Amy. You just have to learn to control it, that's all."

As she closed her eyes, she remembered how all this happened…

She was running around Dr. Eggman's base. She couldn't find the exit, let alone Sonic. They got separated from each other thanks to Eggman. Apparently, his plan was to get them all into a maze-like base so they could get lost while Eggman ruled the world. Pretty stupid, because Sonic found him anyway. She heard the emergency alarms a few seconds ago. All she had to do know was to get out of here. Left, left, right, left, right, right… There were so many turns that made her dizzy and there weren't any doors that said EXIT. She finally found a door and pushed her way inside the room. It was a lab, but there was no one around. She turned around, but the door closed. Not even with her Piko Piko hammer could break thought it.

"Ok, Amy, don't panic. There must be another door around here." she walked further into the room. It must have been a chemical lab because of the tubes and strange substances. 'Never knew Eggman dealt with chemicals. I thought he was just into mechanics.'

Accidentally, she pushed a red bottom from one of the computers while walking backwards. Above her, there was a tank full of a glowing blue liquid. The liquid was released and fell all over her. Suddenly, she started wincing in pain. Her body started to absorb that liquid. She fell on the floor, she couldn't move. She looked up and read the label on the container: NEW EXPERIMENTAL FORM OF LIQUID NITROGEN.

It was difficult to breath. Liquid nitrogen? That was supposed to freeze her the minute it touched her. But it didn't. What was going on? Suddenly, the pain was gone, so did the strange blue liquid nitrogen. She slowly got up, some parts of her red dress were completely frozen thanks to the nitrogen. She sighed in relief that she was alive, but her breath was noticeable. She did not felt cold. She leaned against a metal table, but it frozen solid.

"That couldn't have been me…" She touched another table, and it froze as well. She started to panic; the walls started to freeze. The door froze as well. In her panicked mind, she took her hammer once more and hit the door again and again until it made a small hole for her to pass…

A single tear slid down from her face. She was afraid. Afraid of hurting her friends, afraid to hurt Sonic, afraid to hurt Cream. She didn't want to be a danger to them all.

She had to control it, she had to conceal it. She had to conceal the curse…

Thanks for stopping by and read. If you like to have the second chapter, I'll have to inform you that I am currently finishing other fics but that won't stop me from writing this. Review!
