27.08.2011 Deathy: Hi! Thank you BlissofanAngel for adding this to your fav story list and for reviewing. And thank you Eco Black Bird for adding this to your favorite list! I'm going to be very careful with this story, just as you asked. Also, I'm going to start rewriting ForgetmeNOTs. Some have asked me to finish it. Since it was written forever ago, I'll be rewriting it. More stuff and all.

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

That morning Miles woke up on his floor. Groaning, he heard sounds that disturbed him. "What's that noise?" He asked himself as he stood up. He was wearing his PJs. His clock laid beside him in pieces from where he had fought with its loud voice earlier that morning.

CLANG! CLACK!

Miles jumped as he heard those noises. He rushed out to see the commotion. There standing in the kitchen was Rosy. The pink hedgehog was washing the dishes.

Miles grabbed a wrench that was lying on the floor in his room and slowly walked down the stairs. His palm sweaty from gripping the wrench too tight. He wasn't taking any chances with the psychotic girl. Sneaking in as quiet as he could, he nearly jump through the roof as she spoke.

"Hello Miles!" She greeted. She looked up at him. "What are you doing up there?" She asked as Miles wiggled his way out of the hole in his ceiling.

"Um…" He thought for a moment. "I'm checking the stability of the roof." He lied.

Rosy nodded, buying the lie. "Well is it stable enough?"

"Yeah. It's perfectly stable." Miles answered.

"What's with the wrench?" She asked.

Miles looked at the wrench and began to panic. "Oh this?" He stammered.

"Where you tightening some bolts in the ceiling?" She asked.

"Yes!" He said going with her thought. "I was tightening some loose bolts in the ceiling." He took a deep breath. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm doing the dishes." She answered with a smile.

"Why? All the dishes were clean." Miles stated.

"I made breakfast this morning." She replied pointing to the plates on the table. An omelet, 3 strips of bacon, some sausage, and a piece of toast was on each plate. "I wasn't sure what you would like for breakfast, so I made a lot." She stated. "Come on, sit down and eat." She said pushing the still stunned fox into a chair. "Oh, I forgot the drinks. What would you like to drink, Miles? Milk or OJ?" She asked rushing to the fridge and grabbing a glass.

"Milk please." Miles answered, being knocked from his daze. Rosy placed the glass in front of him and returned to doing the dishes. Miles sat there and stared at the plate. "She could've poisoned it." He thought. "It'll be safer to watch her eat it first."

Rosy finished the last dish and set it on the rack to dry. She sat down in front of him with a cup of orange juice. "Why haven't you started eating yet?" She asked with a hurt look on her face.

"Waiting for you." Miles answered looking up at her.

"Do you think that I would poison your food?" She asked.

"It's possible." Miles stated. Rosy laughed.

"Well, don't worry. I didn't." She informed him, taking a bite of her omelet.

Miles decided to take his chances with it. Taking a bite, she said his prayers. Then he realized that it tasted amazing. In fact, it was the best tasting omelet he had ever tasted.

"How was it?" Rosy asked, hoping he liked her cooking. She gathered all of the dishes and was washing them.

Miles looked up at her. "It was good." He stated, making it seem like it was only 'okay'.

"Thank goodness!" She said to herself.

"We're going to start your training today." Miles stated as he got up. "I'm going to get dressed. Then we'll head to the training gym. Be ready by the time I come down." He ordered.

"Yes sir!" Rosy saluted as she placed the dish on the drying rack.

The guest room was small. A closet with nothing in it. A night table by the twin mattress. The mattress was all that was there for a bed. No box spring. The thing that lifts the mattress up off the ground wasn't there either. Just a lonesome mattress. Naked without sheets. When she sat on it to put on her raggedy shoes, she could smell the age of the bed. She could smell Miles all over it. The deodorant he used to wear as a kid. The apple juice that he spilled on it and didn't clean up quick enough. His sweat from the multiple nightmares that Scourge had induced. The smell of pizza which he would eat constantly. She could even smell the scent from where the fox had wet himself a few times on the bed. The rings on the bed showed testament to it as well.

The mattress held a lot of Miles' childhood memories. Weird, since he refused to hold on to Childish things. She looked up at the light above. Just a plain regular one. Two bulbs, one of them blown, with a glass square shaped piece covering them. She picked up her hammer which was leaned against the door.

Clenching her chest, she froze at the door. It felt as though she was being stabbed. It was freezing cold, and yet she felt as if she was being burned. After a moment, the pain ceased.

Miles came down stairs, dressed and read to roll.

He found Rosy sitting on the couch. She was completely silent, starinng hard at the floor at her feet.

"Um… Are you feeling okay?" He asked her. No reponse. "Rosy?" He called. "Rosy?" He slowly waved his hand in front of her.

She jerked up and looked at him. Her green eyes cried, 'I'm scared. Where am I?'

"Are you okay?" Miles asked.

"I'm fine." Rosy stated standing up. "I need training, right? Well, let's hurry to the gym!" She walked to the door and picked up her hammer which was laying on the floor. It looked as though it was thrown there, but there was no damage in that area. Miles decided that it was best to drop the issue and go.

September 22, 2011 Deathy: Hey everyone! Sorry that it's taken so long with this chapter. I hand wrote it first. And I just got it typed. Tomorrow is also my grandpa's 70th birthday! So I won't be online that much. However, I have a character whose birthday is on the 23rd as well. So I will get online briefly to post a 10 page comic of that character on deviantart. I'm very proud of it. I even colored it. Which if any of you know me - is very rare for me. Also, I'm going to make an AMV of Rosy! Miles will be there too of course! I've already begun drawing the frames. However, I have an AMV of James to do for CassyG first. So you probably won't see the Rosy one 'til Christmas or so. So get excited for that. Youtube shall have an AMV of RosyXMiles come the end of this year! So Please READ & REVIEW!
