"What are you talking about?!" Amy stared at him in accusation, "It's not true? As if you of all people could really say that!"
Sonic was taken aback by her words, "Amy?"
"You've always left me behind in the dust, always doing your own thing; running away from me and always trying to push me away! I try to help but it's like you don't even want me around." Amy shoved herself away from Sonic and tried to walk away but Sonic wouldn't let her. She found herself being pulled back as he grabbed her hand and held it tightly. It was clear he wasn't going to let her get away with what she said.
"Do you really think that's what I've been doing? Running because I couldn't stand you?" Sonic's voice was quiet.
"What else would I think? What else would anyone think? Do you have any idea how much time I spent trying to be with you?" Amy wanted to feel upset with every memory brought up but no feelings came. "Honestly at this point I should've just given up. I was so stupid in loving you the way I did." She fought off Sonic's grip and continued to try and walk away.
"Don't get me wrong Sonic, I don't care about what I did and I don't care about what I'll do now. But looking at my memories, it would've been best if I never loved you from the start. It would've been better for everyone that way."
Meanwhile Sonic never said a word and continued to let her talk, but he had to try and not let her walk away from him. He needed her to work with him. He needed her to be herself again. Not just for the sake of fighting the new threat that was upon them, but for Amy's sake.
"If you don't care, then why are you even bothering to tell me all of this? Running your mouth and telling me exactly how you felt back then, why would that matter?" There was no other way to try and convince Amy unless he got to the bottom of everything. To get to the bottom of the pit in her heart and bring her up again.
Sonic was slightly annoyed by Amy's attitude. This was not the Amy that would give so much life and energy into the things and the people she loved. This was not the Amy who had overwhelming positivity and faith in the world around her. This was not the Amy who's love did nothing but bring light into her world. He wasn't sure if he could even get through to this new Amy, but he had to try. He took her hand again and held it firmly so that she could never let go again.
"It doesn't matter." Amy finally replied to Sonic's questions, "It shouldn't matter." She placed a free hand over her forehead and clenched her facial features. "I shouldn't have talked about that." She muttered, "But I did."
Sonic pulled Amy closer to him, "Amy, are you sure you don't feel anything? Nothing at all?"
"Nothing." Amy replied in an instant. But yet, it didn't mean she forgot.
She was a heartless void, with nothing but her memories. Memories that kept screaming with feelings that don't exist in her anymore. Honestly Amy hated it. She didn't want to care but her memories; the ghosts of who she once was refused to let her forget. Her mind cried out reminding her of her happiness; reminding her of her flowing heart that used to be filled to the brim with love. Hey remember how much fun you had? Remember all those good times when you felt like everything? Her brain throbbed; her conciousness yelling into her void.
Amy turned her back, her chest filling with all the frustration inside her. But of course she didn't bother letting it out. There was no point. It would do nothing. Her anger left her and she was empty.
"Why do you bother?" Amy spoke, her voice hushed. "Why are you here?"
"Because I care."
"No you don't."
"Of course I do. I wouldn't have stood here so long if I didn't."
"You'd do it anyway because you're such a hero."
"Being a hero has nothing to do with this."
"It does because that's what you are. A hero."
"Why can't I be your friend instead of some hero?"
Amy stared at him with curious eyes. "I'm not someone worth befriending."
"And yet we've managed to spend so much time together."
Amy found herself taken aback by the gentle smile Sonic gave with his response, and she found herself remembering. She remembered the times when Sonic would go along with her antics. She remembered the times when Sonic would listen to her when she was angry. Even when he didn't want to get hit by her hammer he still stayed close because he knew he made her mad. She remembered when Sonic was considerate of her and always knew allowed her to get close when it was appropriate. She remembered that he took the time to tell her about his adventures. She remembered when he would never fail to save her. She remembered when he had faith in her. Amy shook her head, she didn't want to remember. There was no way she could remember and it would be good. Her feelings and memories did not match anymore. The past her became a completely different person, and she hated it.
But yet...
Why did she want to care? Why did she want to be bothered? Why can't she just be heartless and get on with it? Why was she confused? Why did she want? What did she want? Her conflicting inner self twisted and turned with her memories fighting against her emptiness; desperately trying to get her to remember who she was. She didn't feel a thing when Sonic smiled. Her memories drifted into her head and she knew. Her memories went back to before she saw the smoke. She was worried over her relationship with Sonic. She couldn't deny that she remembered those moments where he showed he cared. She couldn't deny her history with him. He hurt her so much before, but she knew he couldn't help it. She knew that in the end, Sonic would never fail her.
Within her memories, Amy knew her previous self would've been sorry. Her previous self understood all too well how Sonic's life was. Her previous self tried to catch up not because she wanted him to change for her, but because she wanted to be there with him; even if she didn't want to fight. Because that was the Sonic she loved.
"I want to forget." She muttered, mostly to herself. "I hate you, I hate how I remember you; every detail about you. I just want to-"
"Be nothing I know." Sonic's voice was soft, "You feel nothing so you think nothing is what you'll just be." He pulled her closer so that he was almost hugging her. He was usually a fast paced guy but patience was his only option. "But you're not nothing Ames. You don't know it, but it's not like you're actually heartless."
Amy was surprised by his words. What did he mean she wasn't heartless? She felt nothing for him or anyone or anything.
"You still feel things. You're angry aren't you?" Sonic shrugged, "Because I'm here? Because I'm refusing to let you believe nothing in this world matters?"
Her eyes widened, she did feel those things. But those feelings we so temporary, she knew if she thought about it those feelings were just pointless. But yet she felt. She was confused, but oh! Confusion was a feeling! That sinking sensation in her chest; a feeling too! She wasn't happy but she was certainly surprised. She still could feel.
Her mind betrayed her. She thought she felt nothing! But then, her wants...she wanted to care. Her mind rejoiced at the thought of her considering returning to her former self. Her memories wanted her to find her happiness. If memories really wanted anything. But she knew in her memories that her previous self would've wanted this.
"I'm not angry I just don't care." Amy felt her chest clench, "I don't want to care." She hated how her voice quivered slightly. The void in her heart was stirring; wanting to deepen its depths further.
Sonic raised a brow, "You're not making any sense you know?" He sighed. "You may not care as you say but we do." Sonic leant close to her, "You're important to all of us. I know you don't care how we feel, but that's why. That's why I'm here, to get you to at least care that you're someone." He poked her cheek with a frown on his face, "Do you really not want to care?"
She wanted him to stop poking her. She didn't like it...not liking things, those are feelings too. And if she wanted him to stop, that meant she cared he was poking her. Her brain confused her. She felt her chest throb once more. But feelings were just feelings. Feelings don't mean anything. At the end of the day there was nothing for her. At the end of the day, even Sonic would soon stop caring. The more she continued like that, the more, Amy knew, that everyone would just stop bothering. Because why would they bother with someone like her? Amy's lip quivered, slightly. It didn't matter if she still felt things or not, because the emptiness in her heart was greater. She could feel it pulling at her, devouring her, reminding her that she was nothing and there was nothing in her and there was nothing for her.
Amy suddenly gasped and clutched her chest; a faint dark glow underneath her grasp. Sonic stared at her in confusion.
"Amy?"
"Empty." She breathed out, "It's eating at me." Her eyes were wide, "The emptiness is-" She clutched tightly; the dark glow growing brighter and spreading along her body.
Her missing Heart Pearls left a gap in what was left of her heart, and all she did was widen the gap. It was like she had a vacuum in her chest.
A smoke began to emerge from the glowing originating in her chest, Sonic held Amy close to him. What was going on with her?! The smoke was practically trying to devour her. His eyes widened; Inani's energy was a vacuum. That accursed demon's energy was influencing her; he took her Heart Pearls and left her with nothing. Inani...Sonic's gripped tightened, he would pay for what he did. Sonic had to stop the process somehow. He had to convince her; close the gap. She was not heartless she could still feel. There was still hope.
"Amy, Ames listen to me. You're not empty, you're not!" Sonic held her close to him, "You're my friend! You're worth a lot! You're not nothing and you're not going to be nothing! You remember don't you? You remember how we met?" His voice was quiet and he watched Amy with lidded eyes. Amy slowly nodded and he continued to speak, "You would follow me everywhere; even in the midst of battle. You grew so much. When we met you were so small, so scared. But you changed. You were brave. You were strong. Amy you became so much."
He listened as Amy was gasping for air. The smoke continued spreading and he was certain it would eventually devour him too. But he wasn't going to leave Amy in that state. If he could at least get her to care about how she felt...He brushed the quills from her face. "How could you be nothing when you became everything?" He asked. "Cream looks up to you, Tails sees you as family, Knuckles cares for your well being, you're practically a daughter to Vanilla, a comrade to Rouge, an ally to Shadow of all people...need I go on?"
Amy was having a hard time processing what Sonic said; mostly because of the smoke and glowing light that was surrounding her. But she could faintly remember her relationships with all the people he talked about. Did she want to care? Her brain wanted her to remember, but then…she couldn't feel anything. Amy felt a pain in her chest; the void really wanted to devour her so badly. She cried out, it hurt. She could feel herself filling with despair. Why did her head and heart not match? Why couldn't she just agree on something?
"The smoke…" Amy gripped Sonic and shook him, "THE SMOKE DID THIS TO ME." She yelled; making Sonic flinch in surprise by her sudden movements. "It made me feel this way." Amy felt her despair become replaced with anger, "I hate the smoke. I HATE THE SMOKE SONIC."
She said those words with such strength that Sonic could feel the chills in his bones. He watched in horror as Amy's fur and eyes began to turn darker; the colour was still washed out. He knew what was going on with her, but how was it possible? Sonic watched as the smoke began to condense and swirl into a small black orb. The glowing faded and transferred itself from Amy's body into the orb in front of her. Amy pushed Sonic away from her and stood; Sonic wondered what was going to happen to her. As the orb began to properly form Sonic immediately grabbed it. A dark pearl fuelled by her anger; and possibly a representation of her growing hatred. He knew Amy's anger was something else, but not like this. It was nothing like this.
"Amy please get a grip on yourself!" He called out to her, clutching the dark pearl tightly. Amy's heart capacity was certainly strong; without her love to fill it, it filled itself with what was left.
"No." Amy's voice was fierce, lower, darker. "I'll destroy the one responsible for this; for what happened to me." She utterly despised how different she was. Her brain throbbed, her chest throbbed. Her body was at war with herself and she hated it. It irked her. It bothered her, hurt her. It made her confused, lost, wondering what on earth she really wanted. Her brain wanted one thing, her heart didn't want it. She hated it hated it HATED IT. She was conflicted to the point it was ripping her apart. She was supposed to be nothing. Yet everything was inside her; everything but what she supposedly wanted. She was not happy.
"You care…." Sonic muttered softly in realisation. "You want to care!" He reached and held onto Amy's arm tightly, "You care about how you feel! Amy please, let me help you!"
"Let go." She glared at him but Sonic's grip tightened.
"No, not until you let me do this."
"You're hurting me."
"Then at least I know you feel."
Amy growled, trying to shake him off but she couldn't. Her rage was not strong enough. There was something about Sonic that was fighting her; fighting her rage. She noticed he was still gripping the dark pearl. If she had that, she could shake him off and get back at what did this to her. Her mind wandered to what she would do if she found who was responsible. She knew from her memories her previous self would be appalled at her own thoughts but she didn't care. She hated who was responsible. Her mind was now screaming that to her. But it was being fought off by the ghost of her previous self….and Sonic. Sonic was suddenly on her mind, telling her this was not how it should be. It was as if he was really speaking to her, but she knew it was nothing but a presence in her head. But why did it feel like he was speaking to her heart?
"Amy." Sonic's voice broke her from her thoughts, "Amy don't do this. This isn't how it should be." His words echoed the ones in her heart, "This isn't you. I know you're rage has power but not like this." Sonic pulled her close to him; an idea in his head, "Let me take your rage."
"What?"
"Let me take how you feel! I'll accept it and fight this for you." Sonic knew that he could handle her anger and hatred. He knew that he would do everything in his power to not let it absorb him; take over him. He knew that he could take it and it wouldn't affect him. Not like how it affected Amy. He couldn't let her do this. He knew her previous self would regret it if she went with along with her hatred. He knew how murderous it can be.
"Why?" Was all Amy could muster, she remembered how Sonic told her she was important to everyone but what about him? Where did she stand with him? If he convinced her she would accept what he wanted to do and not care. She would stop being stubborn and cooperate. Sonic was right, she did care. She was frustrated with her current self. She hated her current self. At least back then she was happy; even if she cried from the hurt. She was frustrated with how empty she felt and how lost she looked. It was pathetic. She wanted out. She didn't want this. She didn't want to be nothing.
Sonic placed a hand on her cheek and looked at her intently. This was his moment to convince her, to let him help her. He couldn't rely on simple words. He had to make her care. He had to make it count. She would remember and probably hassle him for it later, but right now. Oh right now. Right now he had to save her. Amy was important to him. He didn't hate her. She was his ally; his comrade. She stood by him through the thick and thin. She believed in him. If the world was against him she would be for him. Sure she would annoy him with her pursuits of marriage and such. but he knew there was more to her than that. She was still young and immature to see it. Sonic knew all she had in her sights was him and he was flattered sure but he knew she could do more with herself. He was not the knight in shining armour she pictured, but he could still be there for her as himself; as Sonic. That was all he could really be. He gripped the dark pearl even tighter; he's not the one to save the world this time. But he very well will be with Amy every step of the way. He took a deep breath, he knew how to answer her.
"Because I would take everything that made me who I am, and show you just how much you're worth it to me."
He had to convince her. But of course he wanted to be sincere, he didn't want to lead her with false promises and such. He would be honest and that was what he did. He knew it would be difficult to get her to fully care again, but he would do everything. He even beat her up a bit to try and knock some sense into her! He would try and try until he broke through and reached her.
Amy's eyes widened at his words, she felt something from them but she wasn't sure exactly what it was. Only Sonic would really know the feeling behind what he said. She was greatly surprised. To do something like that; or say he would do, would require a lot of effort. A lot of effort just for her. Just for her to know she wasn't really nothing.
Suddenly the dark pearl began to glow brightly in Sonic's grip. The light began to change from a dark blue to a lighter, sky blue. The two parted in confusion and Sonic released the pearl from his grip; watching as the pearl turned bright. The light grew warm, passionate. Amy didn't know what to think about it, but Sonic knew. He understood exactly the feelings the pearl possessed; and they were not Amy's. The pearl of hatred that was once from Amy began to turn into something else entirely. The light flashed and started to pulse; as if calling. Sonic watched with widened eyes as his chest glowed with a bright white light; a pearl emerging from him. Was it his own Heart Pearl? Sonic looked up and saw that his Heart Pearl was pulled towards the other pearl. The two danced around each other; swirling as if becoming acquainted with one another. The lights that emitted from the pearls called to each other and pulled towards one another before spinning; spinning quicker and quicker until a ring of light was made. The ring grew and pulsed before suddenly shrinking and becoming a single pearl. It danced around Sonic and Amy, shining on them both with its light. The warmth filled them both before returning into Sonic. The pearl becoming his Heart Pearl once more.
Amy was awestruck. Sonic really did take her rage but there was something to it. She felt the anger that was in her fade away and was replaced; she figured it was replaced with something from Sonic's Heart Pearl. A feeling of sorts. She didn't know what but she knew that she didn't feel as empty as before. She was still not the same, but she was no longer conflicted. She still didn't care in the same way about everyone and everything, but she could least cooperate with them. She felt calm; not happy nor sad, but a sort of still feeling within her.
Sonic cleared his throat, he had a knew feeling in his chest and he knew why. His Heart Pearl managed to change Amy's hatred and he was slightly embarrassed by what it changed it into. It wasn't romantic love or anything no. But it was a bit more fierce as it was specifically for Amy. He sighed, he would be eating his words someday for sure. He gave the now calm Amy a small smile.
"I guess I'm now dedicated to helping you." He said with an embarrassed laugh. Dedication. His want to fight for Amy, to help her, to show her she was not nothing; it became his dedication to her. He rubbed his cheek shyly, what had he gotten himself into? It certainly seemed like quite the commitment. He really became her hero. Sonic was astounded, he couldn't believe that earlier he was trying to get away from her. Now he felt the need to stay with her as much as possible. To keep her safe.
Sonic bowed deeply; hoping that he could lighten the emotions he was feeling, "Well then my lady it seems you have your own personal knight in shining armour to fight for you." He looked up and gave her a wink before pouting at the sight of Amy's emotionless face. "You still don't feel anything do you?" He asked. Amy nodded her head and he sighed; standing upright. "I guess I can't expect everything to be fine right away. But hey, you'll let me help me now won't you?"
Amy shrugged, "I don't really care so do what you want." Sonic smiled widely; progress.
"I'll do exactly that thank you very much."
"Amy!"
Sonic and Amy turned to see Dite running towards them across the grass; her wings were probably still injured for her to fly. Behind her were Tails and Knuckles.
"Amy!" Dite ran to Amy and jumped into her arms, "Tails' scanner thing read some pretty intense energy! Are you okay?" She stared as she noticed it was just Amy and Sonic together. "O-Oh was I interrupting something?" Tails and Knuckles snickered at Dite's words making Sonic glare at them.
"You didn't interrupt anything." Amy replied, "How do you know my name?"
"Your friends mentioned it." Dite smiled, "I'm Dite, a cupid from the Angel of Love!" Amy nodded, regarding Dite's introduction.
"I remember you, I caught you when you fell."
"I thank you greatly for it." Dite then turned to Sonic, "What happened between the two of you?" She inquired, "I can sense something happened within both of your hearts."
"Sonic took my feelings of hatred and said he'd show how much I'm worth it to him."
Sonic's eyes widened as he felt his muzzle turn red. Knuckles burst into a fit of laughter.
"Oh wow! How precious Sonic I didn't think you could be like that!" Knuckles clutched his stomach, it was so unlike Sonic to be mushy. He found it ironic.
Tails coughed into his hand, "Knuckles I think now is not the right time…" He muttered but he couldn't help but smile. He chuckled a bit when Sonic made a face of discomfort. "Anyway, what do you make of it Dite? You're the expert."
Dite stared at Sonic intently before giving Amy the same look. "Sonic's Heart Pearl increased in size." She said, "Amy has lingering feelings of hatred, but she's right. Most of it's gone Sonic really did take it. But you have to be careful, if those feelings of hate grow intense it could cause some serious damage."
"I know." Sonic breathed out, remembering what had happened with Amy.
"You saw?" Dite stared at him wide eyed.
"It's not pretty. I know the feeling well. But I don't understand, I thought that sort of power happened with Chaos Emeralds?"
"Amy has a powerful heart I'll say." Dite chuckled nervously, "Inani's energy fuelled it further."
"Inani?" Amy growled and Sonic immediately dashed to her side; placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Amy, please." Sonic begged quietly and Amy gave him a look before sighing.
"I don't care who did this to me."
Sonic sighed in relief making Dite worry. "You're going to have to keep that in check." She looked up at Amy, sensing Amy's hear calming down. Dite placed a paw on Amy's chest; raising a brow, "That is certainly an interesting feeling you chose to replace Amy's hatred with." Sonic gave Dite a confused look.
"What do you mean?"
Dite smiled and shook her head, "Nothing at all."
Knuckles then cleared his throat, "Hey uh, now that Amy is awake and okay. Is it time to go search for the rest of her Heart Pearls?"
"It would be wise to, but…" Tails stared at Amy, "I think Amy needs rest after all that's happened."
"I think that would be a good idea." Sonic replied getting a better look at Amy only to find she was just blankly staring at nothing in particular. "But we shouldn't take too long, if that smoke is still around it would be bad news." He didn't exactly want Amy going off and doing anything reckless. Sure she had a tendency to go off and do what she wished from time to time but with her current condition, Sonic wasn't sure how that would work out. And with the discovery of that dark Heart Pearl...he didn't want to know what exactly it would do to her.
"I guess we'll have to set out tomorrow. At least it gives us time to prepare…I guess." Tails tilted his head, "Have we ever prepared for anything?"
Knuckles shook his head, walking off in the direction of Cream's house.
Sonic chuckled; following Knuckles, "You know us, always heading in no matter what."
"It really doesn't seem like a sound idea but I guess we've always rolled that way." Tails smiled, running after the two. "But then again I have to prepare in case it doesn't work out."
"That's the spirit buddy!" Sonic laughed, "You're the brains of all the operations."
"And what does that make you? It's pretty obvious I'm the brawn." Knuckles huffed with a smile.
"Brawn? Please, anyone can punch." Sonic smirked and crossed his arms.
"Oh? Anyone huh? Are you trying to test me?" Knuckles cracked his knuckles and moved closer to Sonic. The two were shoulder to shoulder, practically trying to shove each other.
"Bring it on Knucklehead."
As Tails tried to calm the two, Amy and Dite stayed behind for a while; Amy still holding Dite in her arms.
"Hey, Dite is it?" Amy asked, staring down at the lavender fairy.
"Yes Amy? Do you have any questions?"
"What was that feeling that Sonic replaced my hatred with? You can sense it can you?" It didn't made a difference whether she knew or not, but she couldn't help but wonder. Just because she didn't have her Heart Pearls didn't mean that she stopped being curious about things. Sonic was the biggest enigma for her. Amy watched as Dite gave her a curious look.
"Why do you want to know?" She asked quietly, "I don't know if it's my place to tell you."
"It wouldn't matter whether you tell me or not." Amy replied with a shrug, "But I'm supposed to care about how I feel. I guess." She ran a hand through her quills, "Sonic kept talking about how he wanted me to feel things again, and how he wants me to see I'm not nothing. I mean, I guess I do care a little but after what just happened I don't feel as frustrated by everything anymore."
"And you care about what he wants as well?"
"No. He just bugs me." Amy was surprised when Dite began to laugh.
"Oh Amy! You amuse me so." Dite sighed; calming herself down. "It's nothing major but I can see why it made your behaviour like this. Sonic is affecting you. He wants you to care about how you feel and from what you said; he wants you to know you're important." She closed her eyes, "I didn't want to mention anything just yet, but Sonic has helped you greatly with this gesture."
"What do you mean?"
"Sonic gave you his feelings of what he wants for you. At least I think it's what he currently wants for you; to feel, to care. That's a feeling you know? Feelings don't alway have to have a specific word for them. I suppose." Dite shrugged, "I feel you're a step close to recovering a Heart Pearl. I'm happy."
Amy raised an eyebrow; skeptical of Dite's words but then she assumed she'd just have to wait and see. Then again, did he really give her his feelings to make her care? She would believe it when she saw it. Right now she didn't care about much. She couldn't help but think about the entire situation earlier. It was definitely something. Amy didn't know how she was supposed to feel. Sonic; the fastest thing alive, was patient to take the time to talk to her. Was she really worth all of this? Was she really going to just assume that she would eventually return to her former self the way her previous self wanted? She felt slightly unnerved; Sonic was affecting her.
Sonic Sonic Sonic. She couldn't shake him from her thoughts. Whatever happened with his Heart Pearl, she felt it connected them somehow. Amy could somehow feel that Sonic was laughing at her in amusement. She bit her lip, stupid Sonic. She didn't want him to laugh. She could feel as if Sonic was amused with how he seemed to be in her head; like he was with her. But Amy knew better. She knew he was with Tails and probably beating Knuckles. Or maybe he was in a tie with him. Amy searched her memories and remembered how both of them were strong. Though she had a feeling Sonic would proclaim that he was stronger. She could practically hear him laugh.
"Amy?" Dite asked slowly, unsure as to why Amy was lost in her thoughts. Was she bothered by what Sonic did? Dite watched as Amy blinked; breaking herself from her thoughts.
"H-Huh? Oh." Amy sighed, "Why did I like Sonic so much?" She wondered to herself, though she already knew the answer.
Dite remained silent; guessing Amy's question was rhetorical. She was curious about Amy's behaviour. She didn't say it but she had a strange feeling that Sonic shared a piece of his Heart Pearl with her. Amy did allow Sonic to take her hatred from her; like an equivalent exchange. But that would mean the feelings Sonic gave her were as strong as her hatred. At least they were positive feelings. Dite wondered if the gesture connected the two of them. She wasn't so sure if it was possible as she never saw it happen before; she was a young cupid. Still, if that was the case it really seemed as if Amy was feeling Sonic's presence quite strongly that she was reacting to it. Dite couldn't help but wonder if Sonic was the same with Amy's presence.
"Hey," Dite broke the silence that fell between them, "We should return to Cream's house. I think Cream is very worried about you."
"But I supposedly said careless words to her." Amy remembered Cream and Knuckles' reactions.
"Cream loves you quite deeply Amy. I don't think this would stop her from caring about you."
Amy shrugged, "If you say so." She bit her lip, she remembered how she said no one cared. She couldn't help but wonder if Sonic managed to really convince her otherwise. Amy wasn't sure if she was truly someone all those people cared about. "Sonic you better mean it when you said you'd take everything to show me I'm someone."
"Of course I will, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. I won't lie to ya Ames."
Amy quickly turned her head before shaking it. There was no way Sonic could really hear her, not from that big of a distance. He had super speed, not super hearing. Yet, it felt like he was really speaking to her. Maybe they really were connected somehow.
"Mr. Sonic did you say anything?" Cream stared up from her seat in her living room; everyone had returned except for Amy and Dite. Cream was worried for her sister.
"Huh? Ah, no I didn't." Sonic coughed slightly. He thought he didn't say those words out loud. Apparently he was wrong. But he could've sworn he heard Amy, he just wanted to give a reply whether she was going to hear it or not.
Cream only sighed before turning her gaze to the front door; waiting for Amy to come home.
