I'm back! This time from our favorite Blue Blur's Point of View!

Just a side note, something that I haven't mentioned before and probably need to.

You all know General Tom and so far, you've seen that he is very wise and a military leader.

Well I forgot to mention what HIS ability is...heh.

He can basically figure out people's abilities. Mobian Anthropoids can come to him (usually when they are younger) to find out what their ability is (if they have one at all)

So, some more to Tom's back story for ya.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stop asking me to put your OC in my story. I know I have my OC's but they are there for a reason. I'm not asking for more characters and I'm not putting anymore of my OC's in (except for the random soldier or doctor here and there)

Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 2: The Guessing Game

May 13th, 6:40pm

Sonic the Hedgehog's Point of View:

I know I'm over protective.

But you would be too if you almost lost your child at birth.

These past 5 years have been nothing but chaos. We have managed to stay hidden from G.U.N, but just barely. We've had the G.U.N Navy patrolling the island for the last 6 months but so far, they have stayed on their ships.

This is exactly why I chose Southside Island to hide. The last I had heard, the island was uninhabited. I was very surprised to see settlers when we first arrived.

Espio and Shadow have been our inside men as planned. One of the biggest pieces of information we learned from them is after we disappeared, Robotnik did as well.

Yet, the soldiers still threaten to attack and control most of Mobius, which tells me Robotnik is not dead.

Even though we call it a "war", we haven't seen much action. And that's mainly because when we left the main land for good, we learned that thousands of A.P.M shoulders had been wiped out and if they weren't killed, they surrendered. Now, with only about 150 soldiers against thousands of G.U.N and nearly 500 traitor troops, we dare not to show ourselves. We have spent these last five years gearing up, training, and planning our counter attack. And one day, we will fight again.

I feel like life has never slowed down after Robotnik attacked. I'm 26 years old and I still feel like everything happened just yesterday.

So many things that I wanted to do…

Amy and I never got to really date. We went from not even a couple, to one night lovers, to husband and wife, to parents. We love each other so much and I'm so happy that I am finally with her. But, I just wish things were a little different.

Funny, right? Just 5 years ago I was bitchin' about how my life was hell. I was in a dark place and so angry with everything. If only I could have that life back for just a day.

If I did have just a day of my old life, I would confess my love to Amy immediately. I would make sure Tails and Cream stayed together. I would take my sweet, sweet time and run.

I miss it, damnit. I never thought my speed would be taken from me. I took my running for granted and was so boastful about it. I laugh now thinking about how I used to tease Robotnik when I was a teenager with my stupid, childish comments like "You're too slow!". I thought I was so cool and invincible. I was so, extremely powerful and I knew it. And then, just like that, it was gone.

But, I train myself everyday and can feel my lungs get stronger after each session. Tails and I have talked about options throughout the years as well. At one time, we thought about creating an artificial lung for me. But, the idea of having a mechanical lung made me cringe.

I have stayed positive about it though. Mainly because of Gold.

Gold is the unexpected little light of hope throughout all of this chaos. She keeps me smiling, no matter what happens. I see so much of Amy in her, especially when she gets mad. And lately, she's been pretty upset over the fact that she hasn't got any powers.

Amy and I have tried our hardest to encourage her. But, like me, she's very impatient. And, she's too smart for her own good. She knows that usually, kids discover their abilities at a very young age. I was running before I could speak!

She's artistic, very mature for her age, brilliant—the top of her class. But, she doesn't find those things about her good enough. She wants to be more. She's very full of herself and is determined that she is going to get her powers and be very powerful someday.

Heh, sounds like another hedgehog I know…

She is never home it seems. Amy and I let her go out into the town to play and explore. And, I know she's constantly searching for that ability.

Which is why I was a bit concerned when she burst into our room and told us that she felt a sharp pain in her chest. The last time I heard anyone express that they felt a sharp pain in their chest was when I was slowly becoming Dark Sonic.

I've always had this fear, ever since Gold was born. It's probably really ridiculous but…

Gold was conceived when I was Dark Sonic. I never wanted it to happen that way, but even though I expressed my love for Amy to her, the darkness didn't go away. In fact, being Dark Sonic made the entire experience almost better…

But, I started having nightmares during Amy's pregnancy that our child would be born a demon or some monster, full of evil and hate.

Amy and I have been married for 5 years now…and I've only ever been Dark Sonic during our first 'time'. In fact, I haven't been completely overwhelmed by Dark Sonic since Amy told me she was pregnant with Gold.

It was like…learning in that moment that I was going to be a father flipped an off switch. I haven't felt angry or depressed since. And obviously, Gold is the completely opposite of evil. She is full of love and happiness. And, she was oddly enough, born with gold fur. Super Sonic gold.

But, now that she is having these chest pains…what if for some reason, Dark Sonic was transferred to her?

I know. It's stupid and sounds absolutely crazy. But think about it. Chest pains, weird voices in her head? That's the kind of stuff I went through when I was Dark Sonic. I can't help but think that's it's going to end up all connected.

But then again, the weird voices could have been someone trying to creep on Gold. Which is why I am now circling my house, my eyes scanning over the thick bushes and trees. I know…I probably really scared Gold suddenly reacting overly defensive like that. But, we haven't seen any one hostile in 5 years. So, I don't really know what to expect anymore.

My gun that I'm clenching at my side has become my source of defense. Since, I can't run anymore, I decided to improve my gun skills. I can defend my self, but I'm no where near as skilled as Shadow. Even Tails is a better shot, being the fact that I shoot to quickly and don't take the time to aim. Some old, bad habits never went away.

"Sonic!" I hear my name called from behind me and carefully turn around. Knuckles is walking towards me, waving a mitt. He sees my gun and frowns, looking worried.

"W-What's goin' on?" he asks, his eyes darting around.

"Gold heard voices so I came out here to check it out. I haven't found anything though," I sigh and placed my gun in it's hip holster. My words trail off, "Which worries me…"

Knuckles eyed me, "What was that?"

I immediately shook my head, "It's nothing…I'm just being paranoid I guess. Who knows, Gold could've just heard something else."

That seemed to amuse Knuckles and he snickered, "That kiddo of yours is an odd one at times…"

I smiled and nodded, "Gotta love her though. She's a big fan of her Uncle Knux, too!"

He shook off an oncoming blush and turned to walk back towards town, "Well tell her to behave and to come see me sometime! Oh, and before I forget, Tom sent me to tell you that he needs to speak with you tomorrow as soon as you get to the office. It sounded kind of urgent."

I exhale and nodded, "Will do man…get some rest and I'll see you tomorrow."

Knuckles turned with a wave of his mitt and started his way back towards town.

After a few more minutes of scouting and finding nothing out of place or suspicious, I decide to go back inside. "I have a feeling Tom has bad news for me tomorrow…"

May 14th, 8:34am

Sonic the Hedgehog's Point of View:

I can feel the warm morning sun shining on my face and fur. I know it's morning but, I don't want to open my eyes just yet.

Yesterday's run really wore me out. I know I probably pushed myself too far. I don't want to screw up someday, but if I don't try I will never heal. If I never heal then I'll never be the fastest thing alive again. And, we can't have that.

I can feel Amy's presence next to me and I smile, rolling onto my side and sliding my hand over her tiny waist. I pull her closer, nuzzling my face into her soft, sweet smelling hair. I kissed her forehead and heard her sigh. I slowly kiss down her face and begin to kiss her neck.

"Daddy?"

My heart leaps to my throat and I feel my cheeks blush. I shot up, arms flailing as if I had just broke the law. Gold stood at the end of the bed, the look of pure innocence on her face. "Are you and mommy gonna wake up?"

I blinked, heart still racing. "Geezus…I was seriously about to try and get some morning—"

"I'm gonna make breakfast!" Gold cried, "You gotta be at work in 25 minutes! I'll whip up something Super Daddy fast!"

And with that, she ran out of the room as fast as she could. I can hear her open the fridge and flip the oven on.

I sighed and turned back to Amy. Her eyes were open slightly. "Trying to be sneaky?" she giggled sleepily.

I rolled my eyes and huffed. "Guess not…"

She giggled and shot up, wrapping her arms around me. With flirtatious eyes, she kissed my cheek and whispered, "Maybe tomorrow, huh?"

I grinned lustfully, "I don't know if I can wait that long—"

"Mommy! Daddy! Breakfast is ready!"

I huff and throw the covers off, "Pssh! Never mind!"

Amy laughs at my temper tantrum and I roll out of bed. I slip on the ol' Light Speed Shoes and head for the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, I sigh.

Even though it's been 5 years since Cream shot me, I still look as if I just came out of surgery. The dark circles that remain under my eyes from lack of sleep and oxygen make me look ill. I've aged a little, my fur a bit more scraggly and rugged. My gun shot wound finally healed to a very large, lumpy scar that starts at my right shoulder and runs down to underneath my heart. My skin was so damaged that fur refuses to grow back over the scar. I don't mind it too much; I'm not self-conscious about it. It's just a daily reminder that we lost a very good friend that day.

And, I find Tails staring at it. Breaks my heart. We've only heard from Cream 3 times over the past 5 years. And not one of those times was in person or directly from her. All we know is that Cream and Vanilla are on our side secretly. But, they had to sign the contract and swear their loyalty to Robotnik else they'd be killed.

Tails is starting to realize that him and Cream are not getting back together. He hasn't been able to reach out to her and well, she hasn't put in any effort to come back. I hurts to see him in so much pain…especially when a lot of it was my fault.

I brushed my teeth and slipped on my watch. I replaced my old white gloves with white fingerless gloves a few years ago. I feel like I have more control over the trigger on my gun while wearing them.

As I strap on my hip holster and gun, I hear Gold ask Amy, "Mommy…what are we gonna do today?"

"I need to run to the grocery store and over to Uncle Knuckles and Aunt Rouge's house for a bit," Amy replied, "Are you gonna join me?"

I snicker cause I already know the answer. Gold didn't get Amy's "shopping gene".

"Nope!" Gold chimed, "I'll just go to Kinta's or something!"

I stepped into the kitchen and smiled. Gold had made toast, eggs, and bacon. I sat down at the table and she placed a plate in front with a huge, happy smile. "Here you go Daddy! Hurry and eat so you won't be late for work!"

"Aw, thanks Goldy!" I said, ruffling her bangs, "Wow! You did make this Super Sonic fast!"

She seemed to beam after that comment. "Well! I may not like shopping, but I do love cooking!"

She grabbed a plate for herself and took a seat next to me. She started to stuff her mouth with bacon quickly. My eyes widen as she ate, hardly giving herself time to breathe. "H-Hey! Kiddo!" I exclaimed, "Slow down!"

Gold gulped down her entire glass of orange juice before responding, "That was good!"

She hopped up and grabbed her journal and pen, racing for the door. "Whoa! Hey!" I cried.

She stopped and turned to me, smiling wide, "What Daddy?"

"Where do you think you're off to, missy?" I asked sternly, looking over at Amy who is just as surprised as I am to see Gold in such a hurry.

Gold giggled and rushed back to me, "Well, since it IS summer vacation, I'm gonna go over to Kinta's!"

She gave me a quick tight hug, "That ok, Daddy?" she said, batting her jade green eyes.

I laughed and picked her up, sitting her in my lap, "Of course you can, Goldy. Just let us know where you're going before you go running off! Slow down a bit!"

Amy raised an eyebrow at my comment. Gold nodded and jumped down. "I'll see you around lunch time!" she cried as she clenched her journal to her chest. She waved goodbye and rushed back out the door.

Amy shook her head and grabbed her purse, slinging it over her shoulder. She looked at me and crossed her arms, "Hey mister…what's with telling Gold to slow down? Not five years ago you would've flipped off anyone who told YOU to slow down…"

My eye widen as she reminded me of my words. "Wow Ame's…you're right. That is really weird for me to say…" I said, shocked.

She kissed my forehead. "You're just looking out for her. But just remember that next time."

She leaned down and kissed my lips softly. "Have a good day at work. And if you do go and run…please don't push yourself too far."

"I won't baby. I promise…" I smiled and stood up, heading out the door.

"She amazes me…ya know? She reminds me more and more everyday of you." Amy said as she locked the door behind her. I stretched up towards the sky, feeling my back crack a bit.

"You think so? Well, lucky her!" I cried.

Amy rolled her eyes and smiled, "I think it'll be any day now that she discovers her ability. When she does, we need to celebrate!"

I nodded. "I agree…but what if she doesn't ever get an ability? I mean, that is a possibility. She has so many talents like cooking and painting. I just don't want her to take those things for granted."

Amy walked beside me as we headed to town. "I think she will," she assured me, "She's already shown so much potential. Maybe she's just a late bloomer…"

I scratched my head, thinking over Amy's words. "If she doesn't show any signs of an ability by her 6th birthday…we'll take her to General Tom and see what he thinks. Until then, we just need to keep encouraging her to be the best in every part of her life."

She smiled and kissed my cheek. "I love you, Sonic."

I stopped and pulled her close, kissing her softly. "I love you too, Amy."

We parted ways when we got to town and I made my way for the office. Our small town of Summerdale was already stirring as people made their way to work. I waved to Tails across the the dirt road who was opening his shop.

Turning the corner, I can see the office and 3 people outside. I can tell the first person was General Tom sitting in his wheelchair.

The second person became more clear the closer I got to the office. Espio's purple reptile scales came into view.

I can't tell who the last person is. I could tell it was a young woman, given the shape of her body and stance, but she had on a red hoodie.

I stop a few feet from the group and General Tom turns to me. His eyes immediately widen and dart between me and the third person. "Sonic…uh…" was all that came out of General Tom's mouth.

The third person slowly turned around. She seems hesitant but reaches for her hood and pulls it down. Long rabbit ears fall down to her knees and she looks up at me with amber eyes.

My heart leaped to my throat and tears threaten to brim my eyes. "You…You came back…"

It was Cream.

EDIT: I took poll (from comments here and on DeviantArt) and it looks like the next point of view we will be seeing is Gold! Don't worry guys, if you wanted to see Amy's point of view, SHE'S NEXT! You may get lucky and get both ;)
