At Sunrise, Sonic woke Tails, which wound up waking up Amy and Cream on accident.
(He was gonna ditch them). Everybody but Sonic was more tired than they wanted to admit, but they went with Sonic anyways.
"I wonder... where Eggman is..." Amy said with a yawn.
"In his lair?" Tails asked.
Sonic was holding Tails' hand so he didn't fall behind, and Sonic could easily wake him up if he started to doze off. Cream was happily flying next to sonic, as if she was well rested. Amy was speed walking to catch up with Sonic and Tails, who were used to going much faster, and both Amy and Tails were half conscious and zoned out.
"So... how is everybody this morning?" Sonic asked, sarcastically
"Mmm-hmm..." Tails slurred, dozing off. Sonic jerked his hand.
"Hey." Tails looked at him with bloodshot eyes. "Don't fall asleep on me." Sonic finished.
Tails shook his head and rubbed his eyes with his remaining hand, yawning and saying,
"I'm not tired, Sonic."
Sonic gave off a small smile, and thought, 'Its funny how hard he's trying...'
"I feel great, Mr. Sonic!" Cream said, happily.
"I'm tired..." Amy whined
"You know, you don't have to come... you could... stay home... leave me alone..."
"Forget it!" Amy snapped, stubbornly. Sonic sighed.
'If Tails would just wake up, I could speed off and ditch her. Not my fault she's slow..."
He saw Tails hang his head, and doze off again. 'I have to end the madness.' Sonic thought.
He picked up Tails, and sped off hearing Amy gasp and yell, "SONIC!!!!" He laughed as her voice was replaced by little snores, and Sonic realized that Tails had fallen asleep again. He quickly ran to a lake and poured some water on Tails' face. Tails coughed and slowly opened his eyes saying, "Sorry." he sat up and looked around.
"Wait... where's–"
"I ditched them." Sonic said, cutting Tails off. Tails laughed a little and shook his head.
"Sonic, You never change..."
" Is there a problem with that?"
"Nope! You're the coolest..." Tails said giving him a hug. Sonic pushed him off, and Tails looked behind him and gasped. Sonic turned seeing a giant robot that said,
"Sonic Hedgehog..."
"Moi?" Sonic asked
"Must capture Sonic Hedgehog..."
"Really? He went... that way." Sonic said, Pointing. Tails giggled, and Sonic "Shh"d him.
"What is your name, blue animal?"The robot asked
"Me?"
"Yes. You and your orange friend."
"I'm gone, he's with me, and we are, OUTTA HERE!" Sonic said, grabbing Tails and speeding him away from the robot. When Sonic stopped after a while of running, he looked around, curiously.
"That's weird..." Sonic said.
"What is it, Sonic?"
"Normally Eggman tries to get his robots as fast as me... this one makes Eggman look fast! I seriously wasn't even trying that time. At least now, we have a trail to follow."
"We do?" Tails tried to squirm out of Sonic's grasp, and Sonic said,
"Sorry. Oh, man!"
"What?"
"That dumbot's headed straight for Cream and Amy!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Cream was making flower crowns, happily, and Amy was lying on one of the flowery fields, thinking.
"Cream?"
"Yes, Amy?"
"Why do you think Sonic hates me so much?"
"Don't think that, Amy!"
"Well it's true! He's always running and... babies me more than Tails." Cream laughed
"No he doesn't, Amy. You just scare him a little, I think."
"Why's he scared? I just adore him that's all."
"Well, maybe that's it."
"Well then, he's the one that needs to grow up." Amy snapped.
She rolled onto her side and muttered, " He can face whatever he wants, and be more adventurous than Indiana, but is scared to death of a relationship..."
"Come on, Amy. Lets go home. You can get some sleep, and–"
"No."
"Why?"
"I don't wanna. You go."
"But what if something happens to you?"
"Nothing will happen—"
"You don't know that!"
Amy paused, seeing the ground shake a little bit, and hearing some things metallic hitting the floor. She ran to it and saw a large heap of metal still spinning on the floor. Amy picked up a piece, and checked her hair in its reflection. Then she paused.
'What the heck just happened?'
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Sonic ran with Tails by his side, and it wasn't long before they found the robot aiming straight for Amy and Cream. Sonic looked at Tails.
"We can't get noticed." Tails pulled out his wrench and screwdriver and nodded, then crept to the robot, disassembling it as quick as he could. He head Amy coming and gasped. Suddenly somebody put a hand over his mouth and pulled him into a bush. Tails didn't move at risk of Amy seeing or hearing him, and watched her through the bush. She checked her hair, and looked around. "Cream!" she yelled. Cream came and said,
"Whoa, what happened here?"
"Cream, I think Sonic was here."
"Sonic?"
"Yeah."
Cream studied the parts and found Tails' wrench on the floor. Tails tried to go forward and claim it, but whoever had him restrained him, tightening their grip. Tails gently hit their shoulder twice– the signal to let up a little, but they caught his wrist and pinned it to his back. Tails panicked a little, and watched Amy and Cream through the leaves, to calm down.
"A wrench?" Amy asked
"No, look what's on it." Cream said.
" MTP... wait a second, that's Tails' wrench!"
"Miles Tails Prower"
"Oh yeah."
"If he was here, Sonic HAD to have been here."
"He probably sped off already, and Tails forgot his wrench."
Amy paused and Tails felt a little guilty as he saw a crystal tear fall from her eye.
"I'm sorry, Amy..."Cream said. Amy shook her head, slowly and said,
"Don't be. Let's just go home."
"All right."
They slowly left, and Tails heard them holler a minute later. He moved forward, but the person moved his arm up.
"SONIC! HELP ME!!!!" Amy yelled. Tails used his other arm to elbow Sonic and make him let go of his mouth.
"Sonic, Amy is in trouble. We have to help her!" Tails hissed.
"I am not Sonic, and I do not care."
"Wait, huh?"
They punched him in the face, and Tails kicked his hand out of their grasp. He ran out of the bush and saw a robot carrying an unconscious Amy and Cream. He ran yelling,
"S-sonic! Help me!"
But nothing moved to help him. He tripped over some metal parts, and saw 4 robots closing in on him saying "Surrender..." "Sonic!" He choked out, desperately. Then one picked up a heavy metal object and beamed him over the head with it. He weakly landed onto the heap of metal, barely conscious. He felt one of them pick him up and muttered, "Son...ic..." while trying to reach out for help. Suddenly he felt his body give in, and his world turned black.
