A/N: I know I'm about three years too late for something like this, and I'm terribly sorry. I know some of you might've been expecting something else *coughSasuSakucough*, but once I got the idea for this, it wouldn't go away.
Please bear in mind that although this isn't the sequel that was promised back when I finished the original piece of cringe (of course, in my opinion), I will be updating this one when I get the chance. Usually, this will be on weekends.
At this point, this may very well be the "rewrite" I was hoping to do on RTH, even though this is supposed to be an alternate universe version.
As always, I own nothing from Sonic. All the characters except for a couple belong to SEGA.
I really hope you enjoy this! Please be commenting, telling me what you think about this version! Of course, this is supposed to be closely tied to the original, so the ending may seem cut-and-dry, but I'd like you to tell me your predictions about what will happen!
Twenty-four-year-old Amy Rose sat in the milkshake shop with Cream and Rouge, stirring a mint milkshake.
The girls had been happily discussing plans for that weekend. Cream, now eighteen, had been busy thinking about applying for a job and taking care of her mother, who had suffered a broken arm when Eggman had attacked a few weeks ago.
"How's your mother, Cream?" Rouge asked, sipping her own shake slowly.
"She's doing better..." The rabbit replied, sighing. "Even though the break wasn't as bad as we first thought it was, she keeps trying to act like it never got broken. I need to make her stop trying to cook and clean with a broken arm, but she never listens to me."
"I'm sorry, Cream." Amy patted her shoulder. "Maybe we should treat her to breakfast this weekend."
"Yeah, that would help her a lot." Cream smiled up at her. "I'm sure she'd appreciate it."
Rouge gulped down some more of her berry milkshake, her brow knitted together in thought.
"Rouge? What's up?" Amy asked her.
"Hm?" She snapped out of her thoughts, blinking at her. "Oh, I was just thinking about Knuckles. I mean, I'm thirty now, and we haven't had any kids yet."
"Oh, the married life," Amy teased, sticking out her tongue while Cream giggled.
"He wants to, but I don't know if I'm ready for it yet." Rouge admitted, biting her lower lip. "What if I'm not a good mom?"
"Rouge, I'm sure you'd nail being a parent." Amy gave her a cheeky grin. "At the very least, I'm sure Knuckles would appreciate the perks."
"Oh, hush, you naughty thing." The bat blushed and gently pushed her shoulder, making her laugh.
"What do you think Sonic wants?" Cream asked out of the blue, making Amy's laughter die.
"Oh, uh, I don't really know." She admitted slowly, lowering her eyes. "I hardly think it's just for a leisurely chat."
"You're right about one thing," Rouge snorted. "That hedgehog wouldn't make such a secretive move asking you to meet him and then ask you on a date or anything."
"Yeah, but I almost wish." The rosette sighed.
After Amy had changed the subject, the three chatted for a while.
About an hour or so later, the three had finished their drinks and a waiter walked up to their table.
"The bill, miss." He murmured, slipping a piece of paper on the table.
The three girls split the bill and left, heading their separate ways after saying goodbye.
As Amy was walking home, she heard giggling and rose an eyebrow, turning her head when she pinpointed where the sound was coming from.
She squinted, realizing that voice sounded familiar. "Hm...?"
Carefully stepping forward, she slowly peeked through the bushes...
Her eyes widened.
Amy ran to her home, tears streaming down her cheeks. Why?
Just as she was arms-length from the door, she stumbled and fell, firmly grasping the knob.
Letting out a pained yell, her forehead smacked the ground and she fell unconscious.
A/N: As always, I apologize for the short first chapter. I promise things will begin picking up next time. I can't say that chapter 2 will be that long, but by chapters 3 and 4 it will definitely begin to get longer.
Please tell me what you thought and what you think will happen. Love you all!
