Part 1: Amnesia?

Chapter 3: Memories

Emiora studied them as she sat up straightly. "Well, I don't see why that's a problem," She reached her left arm over her right and began to pull on it. "You two are doing it now."

The rude comment did not seem to faze the blue hedgehog as he stepped forward. "But... your voice-"

"What about it? It isn't broke." She cut in wittily as she swung her legs over for them to dangle off the bed.

Surprised by this new profound personality, sonic had a hard time finding his voice. He thought of her being dainty and shy, not this sassy, quick-witted, emotional girl. The sound of her voice was crisp and soothing, even if she did have an attitude. She had the type of voice that no matter what she could say, everyone would listen. He could see her being a great leader; Demanding her followers to do her bidding. Though, at times, it sounded childish. He always thought about how her voice would sound, but he wouldn't picture it having a slight ting and a wine.

As Sonic was lost in his thoughts, Tails then came into the picture. "Emiora, I don't understand. Why do you start talking now?"

The cream-colored hedgehog snapped up. "For one, I could always talk. Two," She demonstrated with hand motions. "I don't even know you two." She then gave a sharp glare between the two. "I don't know how you kidnapped me... I do have very keen ears... I should have heard you sneak up on me when I was picking ap- . . . apples..." She then jumped off the bed and began to look around. "Where's my basket?"

The fox and hedgehog looked at each other in confusion. "Uh... Emiora?" Tails scratched his head, now looking back to her.

She stopped and turned to the voice. "Don't call me by my name as if you know me. Just give me back my basket of apples. If my parents knew that I went missing, they would be furious."

"What are you even talking about Emiora?" Sonic said as he looked to the confused girl. "W-What basket?"

"If you two don't give it back to me, you'll have to deal with my big, loud mouth." She puffed. She began to mumble to herself as her eyes scanned the room, they then locked on the boys. "My father needs those apples for the festival."

"Who, Eggman?" Sonic questioned, a sly smile on his face as he teased.

Emiora let out a loud snort and ended it with a laugh. "Egg-WHO?!" She continued to laugh. "My my... That name is so ridiculous..." She said as a smile broke out on her face.

Sonic studied her smile. This was his first one. This Emiora was definitely different to his Teacup.

Now Tails was really concerned. "Emiora.. how old are you?" He asked knowing her true age. Asking a random question like this seemed too out of the blue, but he wanted to know what her response.

"I'm sixteen n' a half." She said going back to look for the basket. " . . . wait.. Why did I just tell you that?" She groaned and shook her head. "I shouldn't even be talking to you." She shifted her hands around drawers and through some boxes that laid on the floor. "Just give me my basket and I'll get out of your fur." She continued her search.

"Sonic, come here." the yellow fox pulled him aside. "She's got amnesia." He whispered.

"No, if she had amnesia, she wouldn't even remember her own name." Sonic said as he crossed his arms.

"You don't have to forget everything to have amnesia, Sonic." He said leaning over to watch the cream-colored hedgehog leave the room as she groaned. "She is about two years behind her true age. The time period she's in is before she came across Dr. Robotnik."

"What should we do?" asked the azure hedgehog in concern. Though the two were enemies, he couldn't help but worry for her... since this was his wrong doing. He wanted to fix it. Even if it meant for her to turn 'evil' again. What caused her to lose her voice to begin with? Wasn't she born mute? Well... I don't know that for sure.. I hardly know anything about her.

In the silence, Tails chewed on his lip till an idea sprung in his head. "This might be a long shot... but what if we changed her?" Sonic raised his brow. "You know," Tails began. "changed her for the greater of good. Have her turn on Eggman and join us."

"Huh..." He took a moment for the idea sink in."I kinda like that. Sonic Team plus Teacup!" He held his stomach as he chuckled.

Tails shook his head. "Alright alright, but first I think we better set her straight."

Just then, Emiora came back into the room. "It's not funny anymore... I just want to go home." She said as she grew very worried, panic in her voice. "Take me home."

"I... have no clue where you live Emiora." Tails said looking to the troubled girl. "I would if I knew."

"Oh.." She had a puzzled look on her face. "... Well, don't you remember the apple tree I was by? It was really big and had big juicy apples." He shook his head. "But.. that's where you found me." She tried her best to wrap everything together in her mind as she looked to the duo. "You were the ones who kidnapped me!" She yelled out in frustration.

"We never kidnapped you." Sonic jumped in. "Don't you remember? You and I were arguing before you went out cold." He used his best efforts to get her to remember. "It was over a small Vial that had purple liquid in it?" He questioned as if he didn't know what it was. Her eyebrows scrunched together as she thought hard. "Just last week, what about then? You and I were racing along the beach and I kinda-sorta pushed you in the water to save myself because a large wave was rolling in. Boy were you mad! It looked like you wanted to bite my head off. O-Or what about that one time I smeared a chilly dog in your face. Granted, it was a wasted of food... but it was worth it." He smiled a bit, taking a step closer to her. "That one time when we got stuck in a blizzard? You even went easy on me one time because I got sick and you had to deal with me and we had to-" cuddle for warmth. Why could he not finish? A warm blush painted his cheeks. It was for survival, it didn't mean anything.

In the silence, she tried her best to remember. She looked down and shook her head in disbelief. "But... How come... I can't remember any that." She softly said, strain in her voice.

"Well, what is the last thing you can remember." The golden fox asked as his tails swished from side to side.

"The... last thing I remember is going outside, like my parents asked me to do. I went to this large apple tree that grew on a hill. I.. held my empty basket close and I was very eager to have it filled to the brim with apples. It... it was surprisingly warm out. I had to hurry because a storm was on its way. I remember the village people talking about pushing the festival back a day or two because of the rain.." She then rubbed her eyes. "Umm... I picked a few apples... then... I woke up here..."

Sonic looked to Tails who opened his mouth. "Emi-"

The room the group stood in shook violently. Sonic tried to balance as Tails went for a nearby cart for balance; Emiora pushed herself up against the bed.

Ripping, that sound was defying loud. The boys looked around while Emiora's eyes was hung up on the ceiling. It slowly lifted up as two large, metallic claws clung on either side of the roof. A red and yellow like dome peaked its' head in. "Emiora, I'm glad I found you."
