Dear Diary,
I had another dream. There was a human in it this time. I saw her, and some creature made of fire. She had short red hair and feathers in it, and she was holding my Sonic! But, it.. he.. he was dead. She was crying. I felt jealous when I saw her, but then I felt so sad when I saw him. Everything was breaking apart and crumbling. She just looked at me and mouthed "Save him... Please. Save him." There were others there too, some I know, but there was another he-... Mnnn... Shadow was there too, he didn't seem to care as usual. Bastard.
The cards were acting strange too. I just asked for the meaning, the truth of it, and The Tower came up. But that's not all. The Hierophant and The Lovers were also poking out of the deck. Oh man, my heart's beating fast now... Just... The Tower... It's usually a bad sign. Falsehood, war, falling out... The Hierophant can indicate guidance, but I have a feeling he's being stubborn today, and then the Lovers... These dreams...
I'm afraid to ask more. I don't know how to put it, but... it makes sense, and in a way... I don't want to think about. Well... if I apply it to an event, it seems like Sonic's heading to Earth a while. I... I have to warn him if there's going to be danger right? If I take a look at the Tower a little more literally... It's a topsy-turvy one you know? Doesn't know which way is up... heh... kinda like me right now.
I'm going to ruin this journal some day... I keep crying. What's with me? Nobody's sick or anything... I... I just better forget about it. Just get a new pair of shoes, eat ice cream... yeah. It'll be good.
Yours Truly,
Amy Rose

Later that afternoon, Amy hitched a ride on the monorail between Gate City (Mobius) and Station Square (Earth). She was pretty confident she'd catch up to him, even if she wasn't nearly as fast. After all, she could predict his movements. A smile plastered itself on her face and refused to budge as she headed to a local diner for lunch... the only thing that would make it perfect would be having her Hero sitting down across from her. A dreamy look worked its way into her eyes to the point they were so glazed over that she didn't see where exactly she was going.
Expectantly, she ran into someone. "oof!"
"Can't you stop dreaming about Sonic long enough to at least watch where you're going?" A husky feminine voice called. When the pink hedgehog's attention was trained to the owner of said voice, she looked up at one, Rouge the bat, sultry as ever in yet another skin tight body suit. One hand was perched on her hip while the other carried a latte. In any event, she didn't seem amused despite the cordial tone.
"I'm sorry about that, let me help you up." A human female said apologetically, kneeling down and offering Amy a hand up. Topaz was a police officer who'd been transferred to G.U.N. and made to serve with Rouge the bat. She wasn't unattractive for a human, her short brown hair complementing her look, but the bat had always made cracks about her looking like a hag. Secretly, there was some admiration between the two, but by this time, their usual back and forth had become an accepted way of life and their getting along for more than 5 minutes would be an oddity. "Sorry about my partner."
Rouge shrugged, "You could always request a transfer hon'."
Topaz rolled her eyes, "I really don't need this today, and neither does Amy. You don't have to come out swinging you know." The woman stood and gave a friendly smile to the hedgehog who seemed almost forgotten already.
She smiled a bit, "Ahh sorry... I guess I was thinking about Sonic a bit though." Amy admitted sheepishly.
"So where are you headed?" Topaz inquired.
"Oh... just going to grab a bite... You guys haven't seen--"
"No." Rouge cut in sharply.
"Right... Well, I don't think he's in the city so..."
"Sorry," Topaz added, "unfortunately we're not here to keep an eye on Sonic. We were about to head to the airport."
"Ah?"
The human nodded, "Mmhmm.. Nothing major, just some extra security has been requested by the government in Soleanna."
'Soleanna... Why does that sound familiar?' Amy's face contorted in puzzlement, but Topaz continued on the assumption she just wanted more details.
"Ahh, well, they're celebrating the Princess' ascension to the throne now as Queen."
There was silence in the group for a minute until Rouge shrugged and sighed. "Well, that's about it. Now... if you'll excuse us." Rouge was smiling in a relaxed way now. The bat had no threats or obstacles in her way, and besides, she'd heard that a Chaos Emerald was going to be one of the coronation gifts. Wouldn't that be nice? So it was the bat's turn to take on a glazed look while Topaz shrugged helplessly and followed.
"Good luck finding Sonic!"

Dear Diary,
Well, I haven't honestly had any more dreams, but I've had the weirdest feeling since I ran into Rouge and Topaz. The cards, well... I'm not consulting them at the moment. They keep giving me weird answers. I don't know, I just don't feel like giving it too much thought.
No sign of Sonic... but everyone seems to know about the coronation in a few days! Seriously... The Floating Island passed over Station Square, so I got a chance to see Knuckles... of course he was busy. He was talking about the coronation too; said that nobody (but himself of course) should have a Chaos emerald because "It's too dangerous!" I ran into Big, and he said he thought the fishing would be good in Soleanna, he heard their streets were water... what the heck?
It's been plastered everywhere, papers, tabloids... Yeah tabloids. Apparently they say there was some sort of cult to some sun god, There was talk in the article that the King was a warlock or something. There was talk about some kind of weird experiments and rituals they were conducting which were supposed to bring about the apocalypse and something about the "flames of disaster". Then again the same papers also insisted Elvis lives, the president is an alien and Green Tea will cure anything. Sure, next time I get cancer I'll be sure to drink my Tea. That will make things all better won't it? Eh, it was kinda sketchy...
I feel like I'm trying to justify the tabloid being utter garbage... It's that nagging feeling you know? The news just came on and they're talking about the coronation too... Stupid... Human?
I'm losing it, I swear. That girl... the princess... She looks like the girl who was in my dream! I guess I know where I'm going but... That vision... even though I saw Sonic dead, I don't feel... threatened. What's going on? It's not like my other visions... I don't really feel like Sonic is in danger, but I know that girl is real, and I think the vision was real too. So Sonic... died?
Nobody suggest that he's a ghost all right? Because that would be too weird, even by my standards! I know I'm not afraid of ghosts like Knuckles is, but still... after you get possessed by one and nearly lose it...
It's late again. I'm just making excuses, really. There has to be a logical explanation for this... right? Well, anyway, I know where I'm headed to. Not that I care about Princess Elise... (Uhg, how does Sonic attract all these princesses? First Sally and now this human tramp?) I'm just following my gut. Sonic will be there, that's enough for me. No more tarot until things start making sense!
Yours Truly,
Amy Rose
