Sonette wakes up shacking and looks around scared. It was dark still. Sonette sighs as she grabs the blanket and smiles, seeing Sonic fast asleep.
'Just a bad dream, I'm safe.' Sonette thought as she lies down. She couldn't get back to sleep. Sonette sighs as she got up, grabbing her shoes and walks out. She needed some air. She sits down and sighs. 'If they find me, I'm as good as dead.' Sonette thought scared. She is on the run. She then heard footsteps so she looks back to see Sonic.
"Hey sis, is everything okay?" Sonic asks.
"Yeah, everything is fine." Sonette replies as she starts putting her shoes on. "Just… going for a run. Can't get back to sleep." Sonette replies as she got up.
"Then follow me." Sonic said and Sonette sighs. "Please." Sonic said and Sonette nods. The pair heads off. They made it to Sonic's shack and Sonette sighs as she looks around worried. Sonic then walks over with a large box and Sonette sighs. "Here, I believe these are yours." Sonic said. Sonette kneels down as she sits the box down and opens it to see all the stuff she throw in the bin when she left. Sonette grabs her teddy bear and leans back.
"You… you kept this junk." Sonette said, looking at Sonic who kneels on the other side of the box.
"Junk, these are your stuff sis." Sonic said and Sonette drops the bear.
"I'm not a child anymore Sonic, I don't need these childish things." Sonette tells him and Sonic looks at her shock.
"Sonette, mum gave you that teddy bear." Sonic said as he stands up.
"I'm not the same person Sonic." Sonette tells him.
"Tell me something I don't know." Sonic said as he grabs her and Sonette looks at him shock. "What happened to you Sonette?" Sonic asks.
"I am a woman now, not a child." Sonette tells him and Sonic sighs. "Sonic, stop treating me like you use to. That Sonette died a year ago. I am not her." Sonette explains.
"What happened to you Sonette? Tell me!" Sonic shouts and Sonette tries to break free.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Sonette screams. She then drops into Sonic's arms who drops to the ground. Sonette breaks down in tears and Sonic sighs as he wraps his arms around her tight. Something has happened to her in that year and she won't open up to him. Sonette slowly clams down and sighs. "I… I'm sorry. I don't know why I did that." Sonette whispers and Sonic looks at her worried.
"It's okay sis." Sonic tells her. Sonette closes her eyes and snuggles into Sonic. Sonic smiles. 'I'm here.' Sonic thought. Sonette opens her eyes and looks at him. "Come on." Sonic said as he got up and helps Sonette up. The pair heads off and Sonette sighs. "How are you feeling?" Sonic asks.
"Fine." Sonette replies Sonette then saw the sun was starting to rise. Sonette takes a deep breath. She can't keep hiding her past. They will find her and then she will have to open up.
"Sonette, what happened to you?" Sonic asks and Sonette shakes her head.
"I don't want to talk about that Sonic, please." Sonette replies and Sonic nods.
'If I push her, she will run off again. No, I'll let her open up to me.' Sonic thought and Sonette smiles. "Come on." Sonic said as he got up and helps up. Sonette wipes her eyes as Sonic grabs the box and takes it inside.
'Why did I break down like that? That's no like me.' Sonette asks herself. Sonic then walks back and Sonette smiles.
"Come on." Sonic said and the pair heads off. Sonette stars at the water and smiles. The sun was starting to rise. Sonette sighs, she forgot how peaceful it was here. "What is it?" Sonic asks.
"Nothing, just thinking." Sonette replies. "It's been a while since I was here, I forgot how beautiful it is here." Sonette explains and Sonic smiles.
"Yeah, it is nice here." Sonic said. "I'm sorry for how I reacted when I first saw you." Sonic said and Sonette sighs.
"No, it's okay. I had it coming. I knew it was going to happen." Sonette admits and Sonic sighs. "I'm not mad." Sonette tells him.
"I'm glad you aren't mad at me." Sonic said and Sonette chuckles. Then the pair ran into Knuckles and Knuckles smiles.
"Hey Knuckles." Sonic greets.
"Hey, it's good to see you two hanging out. After what happened yesterday I thought you hated each other." Knuckles said and Sonette smiles.
"We sorted things out." Sonic said.
"Well I'm glad you two have." Knuckles said.
"I'm off, see you two later." Sonette said walking off.
"And where are you going?" Sonic asks, causing Sonette to stop and turns around.
"Back to Amy's place." Sonette replies.
"Okay, take care today." Sonic tells her.
"I will Sonic, I promise." Sonette said. "Take care Knuckles." Sonette said and Knuckles smiles. Sonette runs off and heads back to Amy's place. She walks in and sighs as she takes her shoes off and lies down on the lounge. 'What a morning and the day hasn't even started.' Sonette thought and smiles, passing out. She wakes up to someone calling her name. Sonette opens her eyes to see Amy standing over her. Sonette sits up and looks up. It was brighter.
"Morning sleepyhead." Amy said and Sonette chuckles.
"Morning." Sonette whispers.
"What is it?" Amy asks.
"I was up earlier, I guess I passed out again." Sonette replies.
"And Sonic." Amy said.
"We went to his place. First time in a year. He kept all my stuff I threw away. We talked, I broke down and he… yeah. I came back and I guessed I passed out." Sonette explains and Amy giggles.
"Come on, let's get some breakfast." Amy said walking off. Sonette chuckles as she got up and follows her. Sonette grabs her coffee and looks at Amy who boils the kettle. Sonette makes herself a coffee. She needed one. Amy walks over and hugs Sonette. Sonette looks at her shock, but smiles as she wraps her arms around Amy.
"I have missed you so much Amy." Sonette whispers.
"I'm glad you are home, I hope you never leave again." Amy said and Sonette sighs. Amy lets Sonette go and walks back. "You aren't leaving again, right?" Amy asks and Sonette starches the back of her head.
"Well… I don't know." Sonette replies.
"Sonette, you can't leave again." Amy tells her.
"And do what, live on everyone's lounge. Amy I can't do that." Sonette explains.
"You can stay with Sonic again." Amy tells her.
"And risk another fight, no way." Sonette said.
"But Sonette." Amy whines and Sonette place her hands on Amy's shoulders.
"Listen Amy, nothing is set in stone. I might stay here, I might go but I need time. Time to recover, time to settle in and if I get my own place I will stay." Sonette tells Amy who nods. "Anything can happen so I am not going to promise anything, okay." Sonette explains and Amy nods again.
"I just don't want to lose you again." Amy admits as she gives Sonette a hug. Sonette looks at her shock, then smiles.
"You won't Amy, I promise." Sonette said. "Look, as soon as I make up my mind on what I am doing, I promise I will let you know first so you can help me." Sonette tells her and Amy looks up at her, then smiles.
"Yeah, I like the sound of that." Amy said and Sonette smiles.
"Great, now let's have breakfast. I am sure you have things to do today." Sonette said.
"Yeah, I am meeting up with Tails in the village centre today." Amy said as she walks back.
"Okay, let's get ready then." Sonette said and Amy nods.
