Chapter 1

Maybe a bath will help?

Rune felt so good on the inside. A kind soul,one that didn't hate her,had let her stay with her when she had nowhere else to go. It made her feel warm. Something made Rune want to tell Amy and Cream her secret,but she would have to wait,just a bit longer...

It was pouring rain out about now and the young girl of 14 got caught in it on her way home. Rune's cheeks were burning and she had a bit of dribble coming out her nose. She wiped it on her sleeve and continued walking. On her way,she slipped in a huge puddle of mud,landing flat on her face. "Why me...?"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--x-x-x-xx-x

Amy was looking out her window,chin in hand. "I hope Rune is okay. I don't want her getting sick."

And Speak-of-the-devil,Rune came in,soaking wet from the rain and filthy from the mud she fell in. Amy gasped in suprise at her.

"Oh my god Rune! You're filthy! What happend?"Amy asked,bringing her over to the couch.

"Sorry...I fell in mud..."Rune said shyly.

"Oh,Rune you poor thing."Amy said giving her a friendly hug,causing Rune to blush again. Luckily her cheeks were already red so Amy didn't notice. She grabbed Rune's hand and pulled her up. "I know what will make you feel better Rune,a nice,scalding-hot,bath!" Rune yelped in shock at the thought.

"Oh Rune,it's not that bad. Besides,you desperatly need one."Amy said bringing her to the bathroom.

Amy turned on the "hot" knob all the way to the left. The room started to steam up a bit. Rune seemed incredibly nervous at the moment.

"Uhh...Amy,I'm not sure..."

"Don't be afraid,I won't look."Amy said closing her eyes."Just hop in and turn around."

It was pointless to argue with her so Rune did as she was told. She took of her clothes and sat down in the water. It was boiling hot and it felt so good. Rune let out a quiet gasp as she ajusted herself. Amy opend her eyes and got some things out.

"You'll be better than ever after this. The steam should un-stuff your nose and the hot water should get your tempurature back to normal"Amy said rubbing some shampoo between her palms. After it was spread across her hands thuroghly,she started rubbing the hair soap on Rune's head. Rune let an almost inaudible moan escape her lips.

"That feel good Rune?"Amy asked,filling a cup with water to rinse off Rune's hair.

"Y-yeah..."

Amy instructed Rune to tilt her head back. Rune did so and Amy rinsed off Rune's head. "Ya know,my nana used to do this."Amy began,"Oh boy,back in my day,frankfurters only cost a nickel!"Amy said in an old,raspy voice. Rune giggled a bit when she said it like that.

"Okay,I'm done with your hair."Amy said,drying her hands off. She then reached for the bar of soap and rubbing Rune's back. Rune was a bit suprised by this,but she loved it. Amy started to rub the soap on her arms,across her neck and chest. Rune turned a deep shade of red. She squealed in suprise as Amy started to rub her long ears. After Rune was completely latherd,Amy grabbed the shower head and started rinsing her off.

"Okay Rune,finished."Amy said getting up.

"Amy? Why did you just do that for me?"Rune asked with out even turning around.

"Well you needed one and you were sick so I thought I'd help. I mean we're friends."

"You...You consider me a friend?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Nothing...it's just...you're the first..."

SORRY,it's so short,but I wanted to wrap this up quick. PLEASE REVEIW.
