Sonic's P.O.V

I couldn't tell how long I've been asleep, but what I could tell was that it was morning, I was still a bit sleepy from last night and Amy was up and moving. I opened my eyes up and looked around for her before getting up and heading out to the kitchen to find her cooking breakfast when she turned around to see me.

"Oh Sonic you're awake, I didn't think you'd be up yet," she said.

"Well I couldn't sleep any longer," I said as she gets back to cooking, I noticed that she was cooking some eggs and sausage.

"Did you sleep okay? That nightmare did seem to terrify you," she asked

'Yeah I slept fine," I answered as the nightmare rushed through my head which made me shiver a little

"maybe a little breakfast will help get it off my mind."

Amy brought two plates over to the table as I took a seat, Amy sat across from me and then we both started eating.

"So, what's your plans for today?" She asked.

"Well mainly just jog, relax, maybe even see what Eggman's up to," I answered.

"Do you do anything besides those things?" She asked.

"Well, not really," I answered.

"There's gotta be something you do besides those three things and nap after a big adventure," she said to me, I tried to think, now that I think of it she has a point, I haven't done anything else besides those things.

"I think you bring up a good point, Amy," I said.

"Sounds like to me you need a change of hobby," Amy suggested.

"But what?" I asked.

"You could visit your friend Tails and see what he suggests," she answered.

"Maybe I should," I said before finishing up breakfast and head out to Tails' place, I eventually reached his place and knocked on the door to see if he was home, a yellow furred

two tailed fox which was him answered the door.

"Oh, hey, Sonic," he said.

"Hey buddy listen, I need your help with something," I said

"Okay, what's that?" He asked.

"I need a change in hobby," I answered.

"A change in hobby huh? This isn't like you," he commented.

"I know but I was just talking to Amy and she suggested that I..." I explained before he interrupted.

"That would explain why... Wait a minute, why are you taking Amy's advice?" He asked.

"It's a long story" I answered.

"Hmm, well I suppose there's a good reason," he said making me sigh a little

"So what do you suppose I do?" I asked

"Well there are a lot of things you could do, I'd start by finding out what kind of hobby you'd want to get into," he answered before I thought of something.

"How about swimming," I suggested.

"Swimming?! I thought you were afraid of the water," he said shocked.

"Well it's mainly to get rid of my fear of water," I explained.

"Probably not a bad idea," he said with a smile on his face.

"Thanks buddy," I said before racing back to Amy's

Tails' P.O.V

"Why was Sonic hanging out with Amy," I asked myself as I watched Sonic leave the area, it wasn't like Sonic at all to be hanging out with her and finding a new hobby, I stood there wondering why he was so out of character today, something must have happened.

Amy's P.O.V

Not a lot of time has passed since Sonic left, I will admit, it was quite out of character for him to come to me for comfort after a nightmare, I sat there wondering what's gotten into him

"that nightmare must have been terrifying," I said before Sonic walked in the door.

"Oh hey, Sonic, has Tails thought of anything," I asked.

"How about swimming," he suggested.

"Swimming? What happened to your fear of water?" I asked.

"I want to get rid of it," he answered making me a bit shocked at first but then I agreed.

"Probably not a bad idea, Sonic, it's about time you tried to get over that fear," I said.

Eggman's P.O.V

"I can't believe this happened," I said looking at my mustache in the mirror which was messed up thanks to that fall, Sonic's gonna pay for this even if I have to go out there with my mustache the way it is, then my orb shaped robot named Cubot comes in.

"You okay, sir?" He asked.

"No I'm not okay, half of my mustache is gone!" I pointed out.

"Anyway I can help?" He asked.

"No need, just let me be for a minute or two," I answered before Cubot left.

"I am gonna make that hedgehog pay!" I shouted before slamming my fist on the desk in front of me.

Sonic's P.O.V

I knew Amy was going to help me out with my fear, but I never thought she'd take me to a beach, I guess I had to start somewhere

"Ready, Sonic?" Amy asked walking out in her swimsuit.

"I guess so," I answered a bit nervous about what I'm about to do, water had always been my biggest fear ever since I was little and now I'm trying to get rid of that fear. I slowly approached the water and took a look at it, I could already feel fear in my body as I stared at it

"Well, Sonic, you coming in or what?" Amy asked standing in the water waiting for me patiently, I Knew i couldn't keep her waiting, so in no time at all I slowly walked into the water, I will admit it was cold, but then again I have been in cold areas before so it wasn't a problem for me, I slowly approached Amy in no time at all.

"See, it isn't so hard" she said pretty proud of me for making it this far by myself, I still wasn't comfortable though, anxiety was still flowing through my body making me think a whole bunch of bad things that could happen to me.

"You okay, Sonic?" Amy asked concerned.

"Not really, the water has me anxious," I explained before she smiles.

"Has this been your first time in the water?' Amy asked.

"No," I answer.

"Then why are you so afraid of it?" Amy asked.

"Its because I can't swim" I answered.

"Well I can teach you, all you had to do is ask" she said and that got me thinking for a second, that dream I had really did do a number on me, first I go to her for comfort now this, it's pretty clear that I haven't really been myself since last night.

"Hey Amy," I said.

"What is it?" Amy asked.

"Do you think I'm still my normal self?" I asked.

"What kind of ridiculous question is that? Of course you are," Amy answered.

"Well it seems that I haven't been acting like myself ever since that dream" I explained.

Amy's P.O.V

That had me thinking again, it wasn't like Sonic at all to go to me for comfort that night, was it possible that Sonic was going through some changes?

"No that probably isn't the case," I said in my mind as I was thinking, Sonic had always been the way he was since we were kids, and nothing about him has changed until now.

"Hey Amy you okay?" Sonic asked.

"Oh I'm okay, I was just thinking," I answered before I started thinking again, could it be possible that Sonic has grown to like me after so long? It seemed too good to be true, but yet here it is happening to me. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming, it hurt but at least I know that I wasn't dreaming.

"Why did you do that?" Sonic asked.

"Sonic I think you're right, there is something up with you" I said.

Sonic's P.O.V

If you ask me I think I am going through some changes, maybe I should ask her.

"Hey Amy," I said.

"Yeah Sonic?' Amy asked.

"Do you remember what you were going to tell me on the communicator?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"You were about to say something but then I lost your signal," I explained.

"Umm… Well," she said hesitating.

"Come on Amy I knew you were about to say something that day," I said.

"I was about to say I lo…" Amy said before a net came out of nowhere and stopped her from finishing.

"Well well well, this is very unlike you to be hanging out with Amy, Sonic," a voice said as i look up to see Eggman with a part of his mustache gone which made me laugh.

"Hey stop! It's not funny!" Eggman said as I continue to laugh at how stupid he looked without part of his mustache.

"It kind of is egghead, I mean just look at yourself," I pointed out not paying attention to the fact that Amy was caught in the net.

Eggman's P.O.V

That cursed hedgehog making fun of my messed up mustache, he just made me more angry, I decided it was time to make him pay, I pressed a button on my dashboard and then a giant robot of mine came through the forest and stood next to me.

"Keep in mind you started this, Sonic," I said before pointing at Amy, the robot then walked over to her, grabbed her and placed her in a tube in his chest, Sonic however knowing the way he is jumped up, formed into a blue ball and smashed into the robot's arm completely destroying it which wasn't a surprise to me, but i had a little trick up my sleeve, a little blast from the past, I pressed a button and then out of nowhere came Metal Sonic with a few upgrades I made to him.

"I suppose you remember your robotic twin," I said with an evil grin on my face.

"It's been a long time, but I doubt he can keep up with me," he said which made me chuckle.

"Well you see, Sonic, I took the liberty of adding a few upgrades to him while you were busy relaxing, think of it as a warm up almost" I explained giving my giant robot a chance to sneak away, Sonic however spotted him and immediately rushed over to him only to get stopped by Metal Sonic.

"Try all you want, if you want to get to Amy you'll need to go through Metal Sonic first," I said before flying away leaving Sonic to face his robotic double.

Sonic's P.O.V

"Okay, we'll play your game," I said before Metal Sonic rushed at me causing me to dodge, I then look to see him with his back turned and decide to spin dash into him, but he whacks me out of my attack as I was in the air just seconds before hitting him.

"A little quicker this time huh?" I asked before I try to punch Metal Sonic but he grabs my fist and headbutts me knocking me to the ground with a powerful headache

"Really, of all things why that?" I asked while getting up, I never thought egghead would upgrade Metal Sonic that much, I guess a lot has changed since that last time him and I fought so this may take a while, so I took a good look at Metal Sonic who was standing there with his arms crossed looking right at me, upon looking at him, I noticed something about his chest, it looked like it was containing something, then it hit me, Eggman must have found a chaos emerald between our last fight and now giving Metal here the unfair advantage.

"Looks like I'll need assistance," I said to myself before I pulled out a communicator and called Tails.

"Yeah, Sonic?" Tails asked as I dodged a few of Metal Sonic's attacks.

"Hey, buddy, listen I need your help, Eggman kidnapped Amy and I'm here at the beach fighting Metal Sonic" I explained.

"Hang on, Sonic, I'm on my way," Tails said before the call ended while I dodge a few more of Metal Sonic's attacks, eventually Tails arrives and sees that Metal Sonic has changed.

"What happened to Metal Sonic?" he asked.

"Eggman upgraded him, I'm assuming he's powered by a chaos emerald," I explained as he took a look and saw that the chest was in a weird shape.

"I think you're right, Sonic, that chest of his is shaped weirdly," Tails pointed out before Metal Sonic tried to attack him but was stopped by me.

"We need to find a way to get that emerald out of him and fast, Eggman's getting away with Amy," I said before Tails nodded his head and got ready for a fight as Metal Sonic prepared himself before me and Tails ran at him and did several blows to his body before making a crack in his chest.

"Looks like we're damaging him," I said before I rolled into a ball and ran into his chest but he blocked me before Tails kicked him in the face while I ran into his chest before grabbing the chaos emerald and ripping it out causing Metal Sonic to malfunction.

"Looks like we can finish him off," Tails pointed out as I dashed into him causing him to explode.

"That takes care of that," I said before me and Tails ran off to save Amy.

"Don't worry, Amy, we're coming for you."
