(Sonic's POV)
The pink hooded hedgehog treated my injuries and took care of me all day. No one has ever helped me for years or gave me hospitality. Now I really hope her grandmother will accept me since I'm nothing like my werehog ancestor who ate her alive. I mean my father once told me the story about his grandfather but I was not able to understand because I was a young kid. He wanted me to follow my Great Grandfather's footsteps but I refused. I still look a little bit like my ancestor but my personality is nothing compared like him because I had my mother's kindness. I don't know why he even bothered to swallow two innocent people. Oh, now I hear someone coming. I looked and saw it was no other than Amy's grandmother who seemed regretful of not trusting me.

"I know what you're gonna say. 'What big teeth you have' and 'What big claws you have' and 'What big bad wolfie face you have.' I know you don't trust me because my face reminds you of my Great Grandfather. And of course, in bed like a disguised grandmother. Which I'm not" I sigh and waited to hear what she has to say.

"No, it's about what Amy said about you. You are different from the one who attacked me and my grandmother" Amy's grandma said.

"And?" I wanted more answer.

"And I'm sorry for misjudging you. My granddaughter was right about you after you got injured by a bear" she said.

I looked at her and it looked like she was very sorry, "Apology accepted" I said.

That's when Amy came upstairs and saw me talking to her grandma, "Is everything all right?" Amy asked us.

"Yes, Amy dear. I just got Sonic's apology. Now I leave you two alone for the moment" Her grandmother said and left the room.

"I see you didn't eat my grandmother" Amy teased me.

"Amy you know I never eat people" I said and rolled on my side.

"I never forgot that, Sonic. I was just teasing. So how are you feeling right now?" She asked me.

"Better. I guess I owe you one" I said with a weak smile.

Amy smiles back and sat on the edge of the bed, "That's good. And it's almost dinner time and I thought that you might want something to eat downstairs in the kitchen. But I just wanna know if you can walk okay?" She asked.

"I'll try" I got up from the bed and carefully went down the stairs with Amy who held me incase if I fall. I could tell by the scent it is chili dogs, "I smell chili dogs" I said, controlling my excitement.

"Yup" Amy said and headed to the kitchen with me. Rob and Amy's grandma were at the table already.

"Ah, you're finally awake. The name's Rob" Rob introduced himself to me.

"I'm Sonic" I introduced myself to him.

"Nice, and Amy told us you like chili dogs, right?" Rob asked me.

"Yup, chili dogs are my favorite food" I took one chili dog.

"Enjoy" Amy said.

(Amy's POV)
After having chili dogs, Sonic and I went outside sitting on the garden chairs. We saw the sun setting down a little, making the daylight sky turn red-orange, "Sonic, how was your life during your childhood?" I asked Sonic about his past.

"Well….it starts out great when my parents and I lived in a den like wolves. My father wasn't that kind to me and he wanted me to follow my Great Grandfather's footsteps but I refused. My mother filled me with kindness which I really liked" He said but then sighs in sadness, "One day, my mother died of sickness and my father forced me to leave her behind. And he tried to raise me to be mean and savage but I was too young and naïve because my kindness was too strong against my father's nature. No matter how hard he tried to raise me, he gave up and abandoned me when I was 7 years old" He explained to me.

"Some father he is. No offense" I heard how mean Sonic's father must have been.

"None taken. I'm not seeing him again" Sonic said.

"And I'm sorry to hear that your mother died a long time ago. She really did raise you to be kind because that's what a real parent does to raise their child with kindness" I said to him. I noticed small traces of tears in his eyes.

"Thanks Amy. I really miss her" Sonic hugs me softly.

I was taken back at him hugging me in his fuzzy arms but I hugged him back for comfort. His fur feels so warm and soft like his body temperature is giving him a fever but not literally. But I was also careful with his injured torso since he's still wearing his wrapped up bandages, "It's all right Sonic" I said to him.

"Yeah, but maybe my father had a reason to sorta raise me like this. Survival in the forest" He said to me as we let go of the hug.

"Maybe. But was it anytime he was nice?" I wondered.

"Not that I know but I'll say no" He said.
"Okay. I suppose no one is perfect" I shrugged.

"Well, you're the first normal one showing care" Sonic said.

"Thanks and you also show kindness too because you never eat people" I said.

"Thanks Amy" Sonic said.

"You're welcome" I said.

(Sonic's POV)
Amy's kindness really reminds me of my mother. The way to she spoke to me really made me feel…..happy. Which I haven't felt for years since I was alone in the wild but my mother's kindness held onto me from going savage like a real wolf. Now I hope the happiness will keep me from losing my mind. Even though I am a werehog on the outside but deep down I'm still a hedgehog on the inside. I guess my ancestor lost his morality, that's why he went savage and insane.

Amy and I went back inside the house, "I have to admit. I do look like I'm a predator on the outside but deep down I have soft feelings on the inside like prey" I said to her.

"Of course, Sonic. Say wanna do something?" She asked me.

"Well, since it's already night time and I'm sometimes nocturnal. Can you show me what you do that makes you happy?" I asked curiously.

"I know exactly one thing" Amy gave a cheerful smile. She took the brook and began cleaning while singing. She hands me a feather duster too and I decided to have fun cleaning. In the wild I always use my short bushy tail like a feather duster to clean the sandy dirt off rocks in the den. Amy was then fixing the curtains and dusts off a wall clock and dusts off a rug. Now I know why women like cleaning a lot because they hate dirt and messy rooms like a pig pile. Even I hate it too because I have a super strong sense of smell. But my eyes caught Amy spinning like a ballerina during cleaning. My gosh it's so cute when she does that.

A while later of cleaning she showed me how to bake chocolate chip cookies, "Okay Sonic, hand me the tray and I'll put it into the oven" Amy told me to hand the tray to her which I did while being careful with my claws.

"Okay" I opened the oven and Amy put the tray in. I set the time after checking the recipe, "There, now we just wait" I said.

"Yup" Amy said, leaning to the drawer.

I fold my arms and looked at the clock, "Say, how long have you lived with your grandmother?" I asked her.

"A really long time since I can remember. I was maybe 5 or 6 years old when I lived with her" She said.

"That long?" Where's your parents" I asked about her parents' whereabouts. Amy just gave a sad shake to her head, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I shouldn't have asked that" I said with my ears folded back in ashamed.

"They are still with me. But my grandmother, my cousin Rob, and his parents are the only family I have left" Amy said.

"And they love you. But there's one thing that your parents gave you. I mean I know I never met them but they gave you their eyes and resemblance like them" I explained.

"They had red and white color each but both had jade green eyes" Amy said.

"I see. This means you resemble either like them. As for me I look like my father, my grandfather, and my great grandfather. They had blue indigo fur and white tips on their quills. But none of them had the same color eyes from before. I had my mother's eyes" I said.

"Really?" She asked me.

"Yeah, to me when generation passes down to generation we resemble more like our ancestors but different personalities. It's like they gave us their features. And of course, your parents gave you their features too" I said.

"Yeah, runs in the family" Amy said.

Minutes later the cookies were done, "Wow, they smell good" I said.

"Agreed. It makes my mouth water" Amy said, smelling them and she carefully placed them on the table.

I picked up one cookie and it sure was still hot, "Ow!" I flinched at it.

"Careful, Sonic. They're still hot but they will cool off in a few minutes" Amy said and I put it back and then I heard Rob and Amy's grandma come into the kitchen.

"So you're baking with Sonic?" Rob asked Amy and I.

"Yup, just felt like into baking" Amy said.

Eventually the cookies were cooled off and all of us had one. They really tasted good.
