Amy skipped down the steps, coming to her kitchen. She started to grab some stuff from the fridge to make breakfast. She smiled as she saw a box on the table. She walked over to it before she frowned at it. It was a midnight blue with silver ribbon on it. There was a tag on the side, so she flipped it over and opened it. She gasped and put her hand to her mouth. Some happy tears sprang from her eyes. Shadow and Silver noticed this, but they were looking through windows on different sides of the house. They couldn't read what it said. But Amy could, and she had mixed feelings about the gift.

It was from her dead brother.

She read the words out loud, not believing that she got this from him.

"Oh, dear Amelia! You have grown so much little rose! Wait, I shouldn't call you little. You have bloomed into a beautiful woman. Happy Birthday.

Your beloved brother,

Hunter."

Amy dropped card and slowly and carefully opened the box. She did not want to rip the paper; she cared too much about him to rip something that he touched. The box inside the wrapping was a midnight blue jewelry box. She covered her mouth again and let out one silent sob before she slowly opened the box. When she did open it, she gasped.

Inside, was a heart-shaped locket with the sun and moon revolving around each other. They literally were revolving around each other, even though they are just carved in the thing! She slowly opened the locket and a folded sheet of paper fell out. There was a picture of her with Hunter on the left side and on the right, was a video of her and Hunter waltzing together. She looked happy and he did too. Amy bent over and picked up the paper. She had been crying the entire time. Shadow and Silver were getting restless as she continued to cry. She stood up, but her knees were weak, so she sat down in one of the chairs. She fanned herself slightly before she opened the paper. Her eyes scanned it and she smiled and covered her mouth again and silent sobs escaped from her. It was the most beautiful thing that she had ever read.

"A 1000 heart is not too many for all the love that I may carry.

Rose, I may never see your beautiful, smiling, happy face, but know that I love you will all my heart, and that I will always miss you. Keep living for me, no matter how hard life may seem. Because life can only get better from there.

Goodbye,

Hunter the Hedgehog."

Amy couldn't take it. She broke down crying, both tears of joy and sorrow. Silver and Shadow both shifted, not liking the sound of her sobbing. They knew that it was joy, but there was a sad note to it. They really wanted to jump in there and comfort her, but how much would that help? "Oh, gee, Amy. We've been stalking you the past 5 weeks" was definitely a winner(not. God damned sarcasm .). Amy had finally calmed down, but was fanning her face, desperate to keep it together. She closed the locket and stroked it. She smiled with tear-filled eyes.

"Hunter, I don't know if you can hear me, but thank you so much. This means so much to me," she said.

She pulled the locket out of the case. Was it her, or was it slightly warm? She shook her head and pulled the backs around her neck. She hooked it and felt warmth fill her body. She smiled to herself and looked at a reflective vase that she had placed on her counter. It was midnight purple that faded to light purple on both ends. Amy smiled and fingered the locket, loving the natural warmth that came off of it. Amy shook her head and grabbed an apple. She ran into her garage and closed the door behind her. There was a small window, but you had to be really close to see through it.

Suddenly, the large garage door opened. There was a bright light coming from some sort of lamp in there, but Shadow and Silver couldn't tell. Then they heard a revving engine and Amy shot of the garage on a pink Yamaha motorcycle with a red helmet on her head.

The motorcycle was impressive. It had at least a 400 horsepower engine and great shock absorbers. The paint job was wicked too. It was pink with black and red rose petals on the sides. There was a signature on it too. It read, "The Rose." Amy closed the garage and revved the engine one more time before she rode off. Shadow and Silver followed in the trees.

Amy was laughing as she did a wheelie on her motorcycle. She absolutely loved the thing and there was nothing that she would trade it for. It might not keep up with the Fastest Thing Alive, but it was getting there. It just needed some upgrades, which she was getting by the end of next week. Hopefully, by then, she had him in her grasp.

The truth is that she had tried to remove him from her love life. She threw out most of the pictures, but she just couldn't do anything to the last one. She had tried to throw it out, burn it, and throw it out the window. But she couldn't do it. For some reason, it hurt her chest to do that. So, she continued to chase him and try to catch him because she was sure that she loved him.

But she did ponder, did he love her back? If she were younger, she would have said of course. Why wouldn't he? But she was older and knows that he treats most of the people that he saves the same. Would that make her so different?

She sighed and shook her head. She revved the engine again and sped to the usually chilly dog stand that Sonic was at. She slowed down when she got close and stopped by the curb near the stand. She looked over and there was the blue blur, looking the same after so many years. She got off of her motorcycle and walked over to her favorite place. It was right next to the stand and guess what? It was Club Rouge.

She looked over at Sonic and sighed. She couldn't leave him standing there, waiting for his chilly dog. She walked over and tapped his shoulder.

"Hey Sonic," she said with a smile.

He flinched and looked over his shoulder, expecting that annoying little girl to be there. But instead, he saw the beautiful woman that was annoying him now.

"H-hi Amy. W-what are you doing here?" he said, annoyed that she was even here.

She shrugged.

"Nothing much. I'm really here to see Rouge," she lied.

Sonic cursed mentally that at his luck. Amy sighed. She had to let it out.

"Sonic, I know that I have been asking this forever, but do-"

"No, Amy. I don't," he said.

"But I haven't-"

"Look!" he yelled. "I never loved you and I never will!"

Amy felt tears spring to her cheeks.

"I wasn't going to ask you that," she whispered as tears started to pour down her cheeks.

"Then what?!"

"I was wondering if you knew if Rouge was back yet…"

Sonic's eyes widened. He just yelled at her for something that she wasn't going to ask. She ran to her motorcycle and pulled on the helmet. She revved the engine and sped off, as fast as the thing could go. Both Silver and Shadow heard and saw what Sonic did. But they saved the beating for another day as they raced off after Amy.

A.N.: Hello!! I'm sorry that I haven't been on in forever. I was in Washington DC and New York for the week and I had no computer. Just to let you know, I did not die.

And geez, maybe it was longer than I thought!!

Please check out my DA account: .com/. It will have artwork that I created and other things.

Some of the picture may look different. That is because I have no control over what I draw…

Kind of sad. Well, whatever. Hope you like it!!

Enjoy. Love ya all!
