Chapter II: Hedge-hogging your bets.

Amy returned with Sticks and Stones in tow as the guys were still there waiting. While Sticks had no issues, Stones' odd metal arms and legs posed some problems. She couldn't find a shirt that went over her shoulders or could be pulled up over her hips, so she had to settle for wrapping her chest in cloth strips. The widest ones she could find at Stick's house. For panties, she had to use one of Stick's red thong bikini bottoms.

"Well now that the drama is over," she said as she gestured around, "I guess it's time for general introductions."

"Well she already knows who I am," offered Sticks.

Stones began pointing around as she said, "You are Amy Rose. You are Sonic the Hedgehog. You are Miles Prower. You are Knuckles the Echidna."

"Wait a second," she interrupted, "How do you know their names if you can't remember your own?!"

"I may have a theory about that," offered Tails.

"I'm listening."

"Since she's a cyborg, she probably has at least one computer in her body," he explained, "the information stored there would not be affected by her amnesia."

"She doesn't look sick," replied Sticks, "but I have some ginseng and peppermint."

"Sticks," he replied, "that's for nausea."

"So amnausea is different?"

"Amnesia is a loss of memory," he sighed.

"Then why don't they just call it memory loss?!"

Tails facepalmed himself loudly.

"But why would we be in her computers?" asked Sonic.

"She also recognized Doctor Eggman and his Giant Robot," added Sticks, "and she told me when she popped into my bathroom that she was from the future with a dire warning for me."

"What was the warning?" asked Tails.

"I dunno. She shorted out and keeled over before she could tell me."

"Then what happened?" asked Amy.

"Oh, I dragged her onto my bed, and then I was so tired that I just fell asleep on her chest."

"Lucky stiff," muttered Knuckles as he looked at Stones' wrapped chest.

"Then she woke up and said something about boots."

"Reboot?" asked Tails.

"Yeah," she replied, "System Reboot: Is that some trendy new footwear store?"

"No Sticks," he replied as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, "System Reboot meant that her cyborg body was forced to restart itself. I guess the trip here from the future must have stressed her circuits too much. It must be the same stress that caused her amnesia."

"That's all well and good," said Amy, "but now that we know Doctor Eggman is specifically targeting Sticks, she is going to have to move into the Village until we get this mess cleared up. I guess Stones and her can move in with me for the time being. I'm sure I can free up some space."

"Lucky stiff," muttered Knuckles as he looked from Sticks to Stones.

"Ah," said Sonic as he stepped up and ribbed Knuckles with his elbow, "You want Stones to live in your place, don't you?"

"NO!"

"Admit it, Knucks!"

"Well," he said awkwardly, "If she wanted... to hang out... with me..."

"You wouldn't kick her out of bed for leaving crumbs behind?" asked Sonic as he waggled his eyebrows.

"My mission is to protect Sticks," interrupted Stones, "Therefore I must remain in proximity to her."

"That settles it!" announced Amy, "There's no way I'm letting two innocent women hang out with bachelors like Knuckles."

"What..." began Knuckles.

"Just look at him!" she added as she pointed at the red Echidnae, "He's drooling over her like a premium Meh Burger!"

"I AM NOT!" he replied as he wiped his mouth.

"Busted," muttered Sonic.

"Well I have to admit since he was the only Echidnae on Angel Island..." suggested Tails.

"You can't blame a guy for looking at a hot..."

Amy cleared her throat loudly.

"member of his own species," he finished.

"She is a lady! Not some possession! She should choose who she wants to... uh... live with!"

"Amy," he answered, "I'm sure Knuckles will be a total gentleman around Stones."

Knuckles nodded.

"Well I don't think that until Stones recovers her memories, I believe that she's not able to decide if she want to live with Knuckles," she replied.

"So I'm going to be keeping my eyes on you," said Sticks and Amy as one. Then they paused to look at each other before they slightly giggled.

"Well I need Stones..." said Tails as he looked her over, "and Sticks to come to my shop. I want to run some tests and scans on Stones' cybernetic systems. Perhaps I can find clues about who made her and what her mission is."

"Defend Sticks."

"What she said," added Sticks.

"But there could be hidden instructions we should know about," he replied.

She looked at the cyborg and asked, "You don't mind?"

"If it is acceptable to you, it is acceptable to me."

"Alright," she replied as she looked at Tails, "Let's go."

Amy tagged along as Sticks, Stones and Tails went off to his workshop.

"Hey Knuckles!" called Sonic, "Let's get a Meh Burger while Stones is getting checked out!"

"Lucky stiff..." muttered Knuckles as he walked after Sonic.

"If you play your cards right, she might let you check her out later..." suggested Sonic as he waggled his eyebrows.

"Ooo. I like cards."

"Yeah..." sighed Sonic.

Meanwhile, Sticks looked up at Stones as they walked along and asked, "So... why do you want to protect me so much?"

"It is my mission."

"So... that's it then?"

"If there are other reasons, I cannot remember them at this time."

"You must be someone important in the future if she's here to protect you," suggested Amy.

"Wow," she replied, "The future must have more respect for me than some people on this island."

"Well... I respect you."

"I respect you too..." she replied, "most of the time."

"No one's... perfect," said Amy awkwardly as she scratched the back of her head.

"Not even government plots against me!"

As they were walking by a coconut tree, Stones suddenly stopped and looked up. Just as Sticks opened her mouth to ask a question, a laser shot out of her cybereye making several of the coconuts explode.

"What was..." asked Sticks.

"Robotic surveillance units destroyed," she replied evenly.

"Okay," said Tails as he watched various villagers running for cover, "Just warn us in advance next time."

"Affirmative."

"Random laser blasts!" said Sticks, "That's kinda cool! Gets the ole blood pumping!"

Amy held her hand over her chest as she replied, "Not for all of us."

"EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT!" called Tails, "THIS ISN'T AN ATTACK FROM EGGMAN!"

"It looks like one of Eggman's robot monsters!" replied Random Villager.

"HEY!" answered Sticks, "Stones here saved my butt at great personal risk from Eggman and his Giant Robot! I TRUST HER WITH MY VERY LIFE!"

That outburst seemed to calm down the Villagers somewhat.

"Things have surely taken a turn for the interesting," muttered Tails as he walked along.
