A few days later, miss Rose was emitted from the hospital. We headed down the streets of the city, side by side. Her head was lowered in sadness…so much sadness. It was making my own heart ache.

"Miss Rose?"

"I told you, Silver…call me Amy, please." She bit her lip as her eyes lifted and turned to meet mine. "Is there something you want to ask me?" Her gaze was grief stricken, but she smiled, none the less.

Rubbing my arm, I nodded, "Yes. I wanted to know if you will be okay…"

"Time heals all wounds, I suppose." Was her reply.

We walked in silence for a couple of brief moments. Her hand touched my shoulder, "Silver?"

"Yes, miss-I mean, Amy?"

"Can we go…do something fun?" Her voice sounded hopeful, "I need to get my mind off of some things. Have you seen Cream at all?" Her hand stayed on my shoulder; it felt warm against my fur, and for some reason, heat was rising to my muzzle.

Cream, her rabbit friend, who visited her days earlier. What a nice, caring girl. She had brought Amy flowers, pink and yellow roses. Ironic, to say the least. The ten year old was in tears when she saw that Amy was finally awake.

"Amy, you must remember; I haven't left your side…in four years. I never left the hospital…I stayed in your room, so that you wouldn't be lonely." I answered in confusion. Surely she didn't forget about her and her friend's little reunion?

"Never mind, that's not what I meant to say." Amy's muzzle was starting to tinge red, "I have an idea of what we can do…if the place is still open."

"And what would that be?"

"Karaoke."

"Kara…what-y?" Karaoke? What kind of activity could that possibly be?

Amy giggled, watching my expression, "It's karaoke! Where there's song lyrics up on a screen, and someone gets to sing it on stage, in front of a crowd. It's so entertaining!"

I smiled, "O-okay, I guess we could…"

"Amy?
A startled voice made us both turn around. Sonic stood there, green eyes wide in alarm and astonishment. "Amy…t-this cannot be happening! Days ago, you were lying there, at the hospital…the doctors said it'd be a miracle for you to come out of that coma!"

Amy wasn't staring at Sonic; she was entirely focused on the female standing at his side. She had never met my best friend before, but I have told her about her, back at the hospital. Both of us were surprised to see Blaze holding onto the blue hedgehog's hand.

The feline looked to me, "Silver, finally out of that hospital, I see." She glanced to Amy, but didn't say a word.

"You're…marrying her?" I stepped forward, shaking my head, "Sonic, how long have you and Blaze actually known each other?"

"Oh, about four years." Sonic snapped, eyes narrowing. He wrapped an arm around her, "Why does it matter to you?"

This was definitely not the Mobian hero I knew when Mephiles was released. He's changed…

Amy's hand dropped back down at her side, "Sonic…"

"Amy…we never really were a couple, you and I. And…oh, just…forget it. Never mind." Sonic waved a hand away, and walked around us with Blaze.

Blaze stopped, and looked over her shoulder. Her amber eyes rested on me, then onto Amy. "Did you guys want to karaoke at Leo's?"

"Leo's is still open, then?" Amy asked quietly.

"Of course! Sonic and I were on our way there. Wanna join us?" Blaze watched me intently, and I mentally thanked her. She changed a bit over the years as well, I guess, growing more open to others, and becoming more talkative. Not really a bad thing.

This might be a horrible idea, though. Sonic and Amy cooped up in the same place…

"Sure!" Amy smiled again, taking hold of my hand. "Silver and I would love to! Right, Silver?"

Biting my lip, I nodded once. "S-sure, I…guess."

Sonic huffed impatiently, tapping his foot against the ground. "All right, now that that's settled…can we go, now? We might wanna get there early so that none of the good seats are taken!"

"Calm down, Sonic." Blaze muttered, "We'll get there in plenty of time."
Sonic looked to Amy again, scanning her up and down. I could tell he was trying to make sense of the situation.

Amy squeezed my hand, and my ears flattened against my head.

I just know…this isn't going to end well.
