Ch6: A Rival in Pink
"Hah! This must be the final chip!" I exclaimed after I picked up the pink circle with a smile. "Heh! Good work!" Vector smirked. "Nice job. Mission complete!" said the voice on the walkie talkie Vector had. I knew it was Eggman on the other end, but I didn't want to give these guys any hints. It was then that we all encountered something I dreaded: the cannon. "Oh joy," I frowned as I simply got in on my own and awaited the blast. Everyone else did the same and soon we were all blasted out.
Vector, Charmy, and Espio all landed on the platform where they would fight Dr. Eggman while I flew right over them as I experienced some more deju vu. "Not again! This is getting old fast!" I exclaimed loudly as I flew past the buildings and finally ended up landing on something big and... surprisingly soft. "Hmm? You again," said the dumb voice I really didn't want to hear at this moment. "Oh crud..." I gulped as I got off of Big's body and brushed myself off.
"Huh? YOU?!" Amy exclaimed as she pulled out her Piko Piko Hammer once more. "Wait, Amy," I frowned as I guarded myself with two of my ponytails. "I'm not fighting you because this is an accidental meeting, got it?" "Why should I care?! You're in love with Sonic and I'm not having it!" Amy growled angrily at me. "How would you know something like that, Amy?" Cream asked for both herself and myself. Sure, I liked the guy, but it kinda felt weird for me to be in any kind of relationship with Sonic, especially given my past...
"Listen, Amy. I'm going to tell you something and you have to promise that you won't tell anyone, okay?" I frowned as I used my hair to plug Cream's and Big's ears both. "What? You mean like a secret?" Amy asked, putting her hammer down for just a brief moment. "I would go out with Sonic in a flash if I thought it would actually be not complicated, but I do have a little bit of a... different story than you guys do..." "What do you mean by that?" "You may not believe me but... I'm from a different world and in that world I was human..."
When I said this, Amy dropped her mouth and I heard Cream gasp. I sighed upon realizing that her ears could hear much better being a rabbit and all. "So... what do you mean human? And a different world? How could I possibly believe that?" Amy asked. "You're asking this to a female hedgehog that can run even FASTER than Sonic the Hedgehog, destroy a ton of robots by just running into them, and can use her ponytails to fly? Seriously?" I asked, pointing out all the things I was surprisingly capable of doing now that I was in this world.
"Urk... good point... fine, I'll believe you... but don't think I'll be believing the part about you not having feelings for Sonic, cause I know you do!" Amy frowned as she put away her hammer. "And don't worry. We won't tell anyone! Right Cheese?" Cream smiled at her little Chao friend. "Okay, good. Now I know where to go next... don't ask how... but I think we have to go that way," I frowned as I pointed over to the nearby canyons out in the distance. "The canyons? Sounds dangerous!" Amy said as I hovered above the three with my flight and waited for at least Amy and Big to climb on. "I can fly on my own out there, so don't worry!" Cream smiled as the other two soon latched onto my legs... and Big feeling awfully heavy underneath me.
"Just hang on and don't let go, guys," I warned as I flew us off the ground and over the many bustling lights towards the next area, Rail Canyon. "Wait a minute! I think I see something!" Cream exclaimed as she wandered away from the group. I waited on a nearby platform just in case Amy and Big needed to readjust their positions and was surprised to see Cream fly back to us with a shiny Chaos Emerald in her grasp! "Way to go, Cream!" Amy exclaimed. "Great!" Big said like a doofus. "Here you go, Miss Sapphire. I know that you can keep these things safe," Cream smirked as she handed me the Emerald. "Thanks Cream! I appreciate it!" I smirked as I placed it in my cleavage along with the other two.
"How come you get to keep all the Chaos Emeralds?" Amy asked as I took flight again. "Because I think they'll come in handy later on, Amy. And I also know that Sonic can transform when he has all seven. We just need to find the rest of them and we'll be golden!" "Good thinking! When it comes to Chaos Emeralds, Sonic is the guy to trust!" Cream smiled. "Duh! Of course!" Amy frowned beneath me. "No fighting girls, or I'm turning this flight around," I kidded. "Yeah, yeah... let's just get on with it!" Amy groaned.
