"When I Need You Most"

Chapter Seven: Learning Ty's Origin


[.In Rosy's Bedroom.]

The same night...

Scourge and the others have just arrived back home to the house, and he's taken upon himself to call back home to tell his father the news. Manic, Robbie, and Tails are busy phoning the rest of the family. Amy, Rosy, Chanel, and Bliss are currently his the girls' mother's office explaining the new information to them as well...

"Yeah, dad... It's him... Yeah, we did a test and everything, and he has a DNA match.. like mine..." Scourge holds his phone up to his ear as he takes a seat on Rosy's bed.

I'm so tired after today...

Especially, after learning that-

On the other end of the phone, it's almost complete silence until, "I-I... can't believe it. Are you completely sure about this? This better not be one of your little jokes, boy!"

Why would I joke about this of all things?

"Yes, dad. For the third time, YES! We went to the doctor over an hour ago, and she said he's my brother! It's Sonic, dad! It's my..." The green hedgehog stops for a second to take a deep breath as he hears his father do the same.

I almost couldn't believe it myself... but it's in fact true...

My brother is-

Ty is Sonic... my brother...

"Well, this is..." There is a pause for a few seconds. "... so good of news to hear... a heavy weight as been lifted off of me, and-"

His father grows silent for the second time as he can't seem to find the right words to even begin to say the full extent of the joy he's experiencing right this second. Tony almost never acts, speaks, or shares his inner most feeling with anyone besides his family which is seldom. And just hearing his father behave like this upon his brother's unexpected return is indeed a rare occasion. Scourge is not the one to take his father's most deepest emotions and feelings very lightly either like other sons would do with their own father's. He shows more respect, because even he gets that way sometimes.

Like today...

He sighs as he lays back on the bed to run his fingers through his long quills until Tony speaks up again after a long period of silence.

"And you say.. he seems to not remember any of you? Nor recall his true name?"

"No, he doesn't.. not a thing! He goes by the name of 'Ty' and has been living with another family on another island all this time under that name." His son explains. "We don't really know how he got there.. we're planning on bringing that up in a conversation tomorrow, but we suspect he somehow washed up on their island.."

"I see.." Tony said with a heavy voice. "Is there anything else I should know about this?"

"Yeah, umm... he-" Scourge stops for a second to say this.

His father loses a little patience."Out with it boy! Tell me!"

"He's got a girlfriend... the princess of that island he's been living on.."

Tony curses under his breath. "A WHAT? WHAT ABOUT AMY AND MY GRANDCHILDREN! ECHO AND CORAL! HIS CHILDREN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD-" He hears his father yelling angrily, saying that comes to his mind, away to himself on the phone in the background.

Yeah, that's what I said too...

Scourge shakes his head and continues to allow his father to get all of his anger out over the phone. However, in nearly five minutes, Tony talking seems not to be slowly down whatsoever.

"But dad! DAD!" He gets his father's attention over all his angry spouting off into the phone about the current situation with his brother.

"DAD, CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR ONE DAMN SECOND, SO I CAN SPEAK AT LEAST ONCE!"

"WHAT?"

"..."

"Scourge..."

"..."

Scourge remains silent as he tries to control his tempter a bit from yelling out at his father again.

"Speak up, Scourge. Son, I'm sorry.. I got a little carried away with myself... what were you going to say?"

"There's a way for him to get his memory back.. we went to the doctor today, and she said if we just remind him of who he really is or used to be little by little, eventually, his memory with return."

There's a possibility of that not working tho-

But it's small...

Let's all just hope it's in that large percentage of it happening and soon.

"That's even better to hear after all that. I'm pretty sure you, your brothers, Flash, Rosy, and Amy will be helping also? Even Kuroi, it's a good thing I sent him out to your location a few days ago."

"Yeah, and the others will be helping out too..."

Tony laughs. "That's my boys!"

"Dad..."

"Haha, what? Can't hear ya!" His father chuckles even louder into his ear making him pull the phone back with an annoyed look on his face.

"Dad..."

"HAHAHAHA! Come on, son! Laugh with me!"

What the hell? Seriously?

You go from yelling at me to laughing?

Guess that's his own way of saying how happy he is...

Through the phone, Scourge can tell that his father is grinning as he speaks. He softly smiles to himself as he and his father exchange a few more words before calling it a night. "Talk to you soon... Yeah... I know, dad! Damn!"

Tony only chuckles a bit, before hanging up the phone. "Good luck son... help your brother remember who he really is... And get rid of that Darren fellow from being around my future daughter-in-law and grandkids!"

Himself and Scourge share a laugh at that. Tony has been full aware of Darren's activities since he and the others have spoken fairly ill of him. Especially, when he heard of the news that it was Darren's fault in the first place for Sonic's accident. Luckily, Tony feels the same way as the others feel toward him. Anguish, hate, revenge, and... hate basically.

"Yeah, I will. Bye dad."

Count on that!

"Hold on a second!"

"What?"

"I think sending you-know-who will help you guys out with Sonic."

Scourge is a little confused. "You don't mean..."

"Yes! I'm sure the girls wont mind after hearing all of what you just told me! I'll see that I can arrange their arrival tomorrow if you don't mind." His father tells him.

Scourge nods with a smile knowing his father couldn't see him. "Yeah, that will be just fine."

"Alright, I'll get right on it, bye."

"Bye."

Scourge hangs up the phone and tosses it to the side of him. He continues to lay on the bed in deep thought on the day's events and what is to come in the days following.

The bedroom door creaks open...

"Mmm?" He leans his head up to see Rosy walking in looking a bit tired and moving slowly as she does. She closes the door behind her and smiles to him.

"She's gone into her room.. I didn't bother her.."

Scourge nods and lays his head back down on the bed. "I don't blame her.."

We all need some time to think about this.

By ourselves-

"Yeah..." Her voice softens as she watches his eyes slowly shut tight. "Are you alright, Scourge?"

He doesn't answer at first, but he eventually does make an attempt to answer her. "Yeah... I'm just.. thinking."

"Oh, okay..." Rosy says quietly and walks to her dresser to find a thin white nightgown to quickly change into. Once she's done, she looks over to see Scourge has already stripped himself of his shirt and pants leaving him in only his dark blue boxers.

"Sleepy yet?" She asks teasingly and walks over to the sit on the bed beside him.

He shakes his head, but then slowly nods. "Yeah.. in a minute."

"Well, tomorrow, we're all planning on going to the beach... you know to ask some questions about Ty- I mean Sonic, is that alright with you?"

The green hedgehog nods and looks up to her. "Yeah, that's a start in getting his memory back and seeing exactly what all he knows." He sighs making her narrow her eyes at him.

"Seriously, Scourge.. is there something wrong?" Rosy asks at first. "Is it about Sonic's memory not ever returning?" She guesses right off the bat. She watches as his nose scrunches up and his eyes shut.

Scourge sighs heavily. "I don't know... I mean I'm glad to see my brother back! But... what if he never remembers us again... Amy will be forced to marry that shithead Darren, and even worse-"

He shakes his head and pushes those unwanted thoughts away from his mind.

"I'm sure everything will work out... I promise! So don't worry about it too much.." She said to reassure him. Scourge gives her a small smile before closing his eyes again.

"Yeah, yeah."

*Sighs*

"Come here..."

Rosy lets Scourge lay his head on her lap as she gently rubs his cheek. Within a few seconds, she can feel the touch of water dropping down on her hands.

He's.. crying?

Frowning a bit and smiling all at the same time, she lowers her head to rest on top of his as she continues to stroke his facial features.

"Oh, Scourge..."

He's happy his brother is finally home...

We all-

Are...

I just hope that his memory will come back to him.

And soon... before it's to late...

[.Inside Amy's Room.]

Where-

Is-

IT?

...

...

THERE!

Finally found you...

Deep in her closet, Amy pulls out a large cardboard box that has a little bit of dust settled on top. She pulls the box out from under a pile of clothes and wipes it down to get rid of the thin layer of dirt accumulating on it. She coughs a bit as some of the dust particles enter her lungs.

Been a while since I've opened this up!

If what the Chanel told me is right, I can use some of things in here...

Let's see... What can I find...

That will help Sonic remember me...

After clearing her throat free from the dust, the box now sits in her lap as she crosses her legs to keep it still within her grasp.

"Now, lets see... what I have here.."

Her hands delicately lift the lid of the box off and set it next to her. Inside the box are all the old things that she has of Sonic, besides his old clothes which she has stored in the basement of Scar's home for safekeeping from Darren's reach.

Fumbling through the many items, she stumbles across an old photo of Sonic taken in the first few weeks of meeting it. The picture shows him standing with Scourge, Manic, and Tails in front of the BangBros Bus.

Ha! Yeah, I remember that bus... and the first time I met him too.

At first glance, when I saw him... I thought he was just some player and his friends only trying to weasel in his way into my pants and probably Cream's. I have to admit though... he looked so calm and cool with this walk of confidence, but that didn't change the fact that they were a couple of guys looking for some quickie.

That large camera Tails was holding, those girls following behind them, and that suspicious looking bus only made it worse.

But... when he first tried speaking to me... it was like he was nervous or something! That was really a big surprise to me, because it seemed like he didn't have a problem talking to those other girls behind him.

Was he really that shy? Nervous talking to me? It almost seems... cute...

Now that I think about it, I think he was...

After he, his brothers, and friend dropped me and Cream off at the house, Chanel, being the girl that she is, started joking around that I was having wet fantasies about him? Seriously? I only just met the guy for God's sake!

Ha! But-

I couldn't really get him out of my mind...

With those thoughts in mind, Amy sets the photo down and her hands delves into the box again to pull out a photo with a bit of blood splattered on it. It was her and Rosy's old picture taken when they were around eight years old. Her dad had taken it with him when he left for the United States some years ago.

"I got this from..."

The club... Night Palace Club, was it? Well something close to that!

I can hardly remember the name of the place... but I DO remember what happened that night. The same day I met Sonic by the beach side, I saw him again at the club.

Dancing with some girl like they were having sex or something... I remember getting mad about that. So mad for some reason.

I was jealous. I was too stuck in my ways to admit it right then, but-

I can admit it right now. It's been so long, so why not admit it? I tried to get him and other girls he was with out of my mind by getting drunk. That's when I met Silver and Phoenix. They were so funny too... They gave me and Cream their finest mixed drinks... I took it with the anticipation to numb the jealously and mixed feelings I had toward Sonic...

Didn't work!

When I saw him coming up to the bar where me and Cream were, I ran off without a second glance. I didn't want to see him. He had ALL those other girls, so why should I just be another one of those girls?

Somehow, I got separated from Cream and was wondering around by myself avoiding guy after guy after guy.

I saw him running toward me through the crowd. Just seeming him again, and in the state that I was, I quickly walked away to get farther away from him. Thinking about it now, I really wish I hadn't run off like that, because I saw so mad and disoriented that I was caught by some dirty, old drunk!

That nasty old badger had me up against the wall telling me that he was going to kill me and my sister for a large sum of money!

Ugh... typical...

His gun was so close to me and his finger was on the trigger just taunting me about it going off. I was so sure it was about to... until-

I was saved! Sonic saved me... from that disgusting old man... and from a bullet meant for me. He took it all for me and came off with a smile my way in even all the pain I knew he felt from that wound. Later that night, I thanked him... and kissed him...

I mean, what more could I do to show my thanks to him? And what's more, he took me out shopping the next day! Spending thousands of dollars on cash on a girl he just met and saved from a bullet the day before! What are the chances?

I remember that ring I saw in the jewelry store window... I really wanted it. It looked so beautiful in it's display case. He saw that I wanted and offered to go inside. Of course, I declined... but was he really going to by it for me? Now that I remember, that ring was really an engagement ring!

Oh God.. what if we had went into the store to buy it? If he had seen what kind of ring it really was... would he have really brought it for me anyway? Maybe, maybe not... but who knows?

All I know is that-

If I hadn't run off like that, gotten caught like that by the deranged drunk, and if none of that really happened... I really believe nothing would have ever happened between me and-

Sonic...

Taking a reach inside the box again, she finds something she hasn't really taken a look at for quite a while.

"What's this..." Her hands reach for a small long strip of paper resting at the bottom of the box. Turning it over, she finds it to be an assortment of photos like the ones anyone could get at a photo booth in an amusement park.

Oh...

It's the picture of me... Adda... Sonic... When we were at the park...

Slowly tear droplets hit the photo as the all the memories of Sonic, herself, Adda, and the old times they shared come flooding back into her mind. In the box, she finds yet another item from the specific day. A cute stuffed koala bear. The stuffed animal has a few pick and blue specks in its fur indicating that it had been in contact with cotton.

It would seem insignificant to others, but this is one of her most prized possessions that she refuses to let go of.

Sonic, you won this for me at the amusement park...

For me... just for me... and I-

Loved it! And still do... even after you were gone for so long... I remember allowing Adda to hold it once I saw the glimmer in her eyes when she saw it in my hands...

Amy holds both the photo and the koala bear close to her chest as tears stain her face.

Sonic, you just have to remember me!

Please...

Surely, all this stuff can he-

"AMY!"

The cherry pink hedgehog jumps at the sound of the voice and realizes she needs to hide her treasured memories back in their rightful spot. In a hurry, she grabs every item that she pulled out and places it back inside the box before placing the lid back over it.

Just as Amy stands to her feet and smooths out the wrinkles in her dress, Darren steps into the doorway of the closet with his arms folded.

"What the hell are you doing in here?"

"I-I was just looking for something to wear tomorrow!"

He only scoffs and walks away back into the bedroom. "Whatever. Just hurry it up! I need you right now."

"For what?" Amy asks in a quiet tone before following him out.

"It's time for bed." Darren said to her upon seeing her come out of the closet.

She wasn't speaking as quietly as she thought. "Oh.. yeah..."

"Yeah, so bring your ass here." The harshness in his tone startles Amy a bit, but she continues to walk toward him... wearily.

I guess I'll have to continue looking into the box another day...


The Next Day...

[.Afternoon.]

"OFF TO THE BEACH WE GO!" Chanel pumps her fist into the air as she yells while standing in front of the girls' doorsteps. The hyperactive purple and white cat is wearing a

"Chanel, would you tone your voice down a bit?" Manic, in black swim trunks, white muscle shirt, and sunglasses over his eyes, quickly covers his ears as she starts yelling again.

"HURRY UP, IN THERE, WILL YA?" He grabs her arm to pull her back from banging on the door anymore.

She glares at him. "What?"

"Are you crazy?"

"No, are you?"

Manic narrows his eyes at his girlfriend. "No, but you apparently are."

"WHAT?" Chanel snarls and points her finger directly in his face. "What's that supposed to mean!"

"HEYYYY! WHAT'S GOING ON OUT HERE!"

"Huh?" Manic and Chanel turn to see the front door slam open, and Abby, in a yellow and white striped bikini, black flip flops, sunglasses, and carrying a beach bag on her shoulder, jump out at them with a big smile on her face.

The sea green fox smiles. "ARE YOU GUYS READY TOO?"

"HAHA! YOU KNOW IT!" Chanel shares the same enthusiasm as the fox girl.

Manic stares at the two girls as they both giggle and talk loudly leaving him to just be a spectator of their little conversation.

Oh no...

Now, we have another 'Chanel'...

Lord help us all-

"Abby, can you pipe down just a tad bit?" Calvin, wearing orange swim trunks, surfer's shirt, and flip flops. Also, he carries a long surfboard tucked under his left arm.

Dante is right behind him wearing yellow swim trunks, a plain white t-shirt, and white sandals. "Haha, Abby yelling again?"

Jake walks out of the house next. He has on black and yellow swim trunks, and black flip flops."Yeah. Do we really the people of this island thinking that we're loud and obnoxious like you?"

"I am NOT loud and obnoxious!" Abby says back to them both with as two others walk out of the door.

"Maybe they're right, Abby..."

"Huh, who said that?"

Mariah and Lacey wear matching swimming outfits. A red bikini top, red swim shorts with a white belt, and bedazzled red and white flip flops. Lacey is carrying their beach bag in her left hand and sunglasses in her right.

Dante stares at her for more than a few seconds. "Uuuuhhhh..."

Calvin notices and snickers behind him. He elbows the lion in the side and quickly hides behind Jake when he turns around with an angry expression on his face.

"Who-"

Jake nods over to Calvin. "Him. Not me."

"Cal..." Dante lowly growls his friend's name as he grits his teeth.

"Me." Mariah, not paying attention to what the boys were doing, speaks as she crosses her arms and stands in front of the girl. "And you are yelling which is being loud."

Lacey laughs. "Yeah, big sis is right, Abby! Show at least some restraint while we're staying here by talking a little less than you normally do."

Mariah and the others laugh along with her and walks up to whisper into her ear. "Yeah, maybe if you do that, Calvin will like you a lot more than he does now."

*Gasps*

Abby shuts her eyes as she blushes madly and turns away from her as they all have a laugh at her. "W-Whatever!"

Manic shakes his head and takes a look at Chanel. "Just like you."

"What?" Chanel asks when she hears him.

"She. Acts. Just. Like. YOU!" He says slow enough for her and everyone else to hear this time.

Chanel gasps and shakes her head. "What? NO, I DON'T!"

Calvin laughs and scoots away from Dante trying to get to him. "Ha! When you say that, she does kinda yell all the time like Abby!"

"I DO NOT YELL ALL THE TIME!" Chanel and Abby yell at the same time making everyone laugh at the both of them this time.

"What's with all the yelling? Are you guys fighting again?" They all turn around to see Paige and Ty walking out of the two had their arms entwined with one another and happy smiles on their faces.

The princess wearing a lovely white and tan bikini top and bottom showing off every bit of her curves and bust, her long blonde hair is curled and down her back, designer sunglasses over her blue eyes, a fancily strung shell necklace lays upon her neck, and white flip flops with a shiny looking jewel on each.

Next to her, Ty has on white swim shorts with a dark green palm tree design on the right leg, a black muscle shirt that graces showing each part of his muscles and with his name written in italics on the left side, Adidas slide shoes, and black Wafer sunglasses.

Even from the distance they were standing, he still holds some resemblance to Scourge even if the others couldn't tell.

"There you two are!" Dante says forgetting about getting Calvin back.

Together Ty and Paige almost looked like they belonged with one another, but Chanel and Manic know better.

"Awe, look! Paige is all dolled up just for our trip to the beach!" Mariah teases. "Looking more and more like Queen Alina each day."

"I know right." Abby said to join in with her.

"Aw, hush, Marie! I-I mean Mariah!" Paige purposely corrects herself as the giggles at her friend.

Mariah squints her eyes. "For the last time, me and my mother's name are NOT the same! Similar, yes? But not the same! And further more, I do not look like my mother."

"You so do.. you're getting old, are you?" Abby asks slyly.

Paige shakes her head with a blush. "I'm not old and I don't look old either, do I Ty?" She asks looking up at him.

"You're just saying that!" She whines to him.

"Whatever you say..."

Ty only rolls his eyes and leans down to kiss Paige on her cheek getting her to smile. Chanel and Manic look at each other with looks of worry, but thankfully, they hide it in front of the others.

As the group continues to chat, Scourge steps his way out of the house with Aleena, Jill, and Lill by his side. Each of the children are dressed in their own types of swimming attire. "Everyone ready?"

"Yeah!" Mariah answers for the all them. "Where are the others?"

Scourge quickly answers her question. "Oh, umm.. Robbie, Zero, Becky, Bliss, Kuroi, and Flash... had something to do, so they couldn't make it."

Aleena laughs. "Yeah, daddy went on a secret-" Scourge clamps a hand over his niece's mouth and smiles nervously.

"Uh oh..." Jill and Lill say at once as they hug their beach towels close to their tiny bodies.

"Haha, what she means is that he and the others have gone to have secret waffles!" Scourge quickly makes up on the spot.

Ty and the others stare at him strangely. "Waffles? But it's the afternoon..."

Chanel and Manic snicker and laugh to themselves. "Waffles?"

"Y-yeah, they had a late morning and missed breakfast... isn't that right, Aleena?" Scourge forgets about asking Chanel and Manic for any back-up since they clearly find it really funny.

"Oh, yeah.." Aleena realizes she's forgotten not to say anything about their plan. She happened to listen in on their conversation, and so did Lill and Jill. Luckily those two didn't say anything, so Scourge didn't have to come up with another lie to cover up what they might have said.

"S-sorry!" Her uncles reaches down and squeezes her hand.

"It's alright.. no harm done.." The little one smiles as Scourge does the same.

At the same time, Tails and Charmy walk out of the house carrying a camera in his hands. In his other, he has Zale, wearing swim trunks and a white shirt, sitting on his hip. "I'm all ready to go!"

"Yeah, let's go!" Charmy buzzes excitedly.

"What's that camera?" Calvin asks as his eyes land on it.

"Oh, this? Ummm..." The yellow fox looks toward Scourge and Manic. "To remember this fond day.." He laughs nervously.

"Oh, okay."

Paige giggles and asks. "So are we going to leave now?"

"Yeah, looks like almost everyone is here..." Mariah said after her.

Scourge shakes his head. "Well, not everyone is-"

Ty looks around and notices a specific person missing. "Umm.. Where's Amy?" Hearing him mention this, everyone else takes a look around as well. Calvin and Dante look toward one another with a smirk on each of their faces.

Mariah spots them. "Why are you two smiling creepily like that?"

"Oh, no reason..." The two boys slyly tell her only making her more suspicious of them.

"Yeah, where are the princesses? It wouldn't be right to leave without them!" Abby says aloud with a smile.

Paige pouts to herself as she a bit of annoyance shows on her face. "Mmm..." She tugs a bit harder on Ty's arm making him look down at her.

"Something wrong?"

"No.. at least not yet."

Ty raises an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to-"

"Umm... Amy, Rosy, and Cream will be there. They just have to get dressed..." Scourge tells them all.

Hopefully, everything will go according to plan too...

Looking up at Amy's bedroom window, he sees clothing flying around through the glass.

What the-

*BEEP* BEEP* BEEP*

Scourge turns around at the sound of a horn blowing in front of the house. He looks to see Scar in the driver seat of a large van with a grin on his face. Slowly coming up behind him

"And there are the buses to drive us to the beach!"

Plan one of getting my bro's memory back is about to start...

[.Up In Amy's Bedroom.]

"Are you sure you can't find it, Amy?" Cream and Rosy stand by her door as the pink hedgehog searches frantically through her dressers and closet.

Amy looks up and shakes her head. "No..." She looks to Cream to see her wearing short, unzipped blue jean shorts over her white bikini, brown flip flops, sunglasses on her hip, and a cross necklace also of a brownish crystal color.

Next to the bunny, her sister is wearing a white bikini top and bottom with light blue polka dots, waterproof eyeshadow, a silver angel anklet around her left ankle, and white flip flops.

"Have you checked everywhere?"

"Yeah, but..." Amy sighs sadly and turns away from the two.

I can't find that yellow bikini...

The one I was wearing when I first met Sonic in Miami!

Ugh, why now?

"Well, maybe you should just wear another one... I know!" Rosy walks over into Amy's closet and soon, comes out carrying a green and white striped bikini top and bottom.

"This one will work. I'm totally sure of it!"

Cream smiles. "Yeah, that's still a cute one to wear! I'm sure Ty.. I mean Sonic will love it!"

"Mmm... yeah, it should be fine.."

Amy grabs the items from her sister and leaves for the bathroom. Rosy and Cream wait in a few moments of silence until she returns.

"Hey, Rosy?"

"Mmm? What is it, cuz?"

Cream giggles, but then quiets herself enough to speak. "Do you think all this will work?"

"Yeah, the bikini should be fine. Even if it's a different color-" Rosy starts to say, but is interrupted.

The rabbit shakes her head. "No, I wasn't talking about that.. I mean the plan.. to help Sonic get his memory."

Last night and that morning, the group had discussed one of their first plans to help Sonic regain his memory besides asking about his past:

1. React him and Amy first meeting by the beach side.

They have already worked every part of the plan out. Scar would go and rent a bus to take him, Manic, Tails, Melody would do the same and take the girls in that bus.

Amy and Cream would meet up with them at the right time when the guys would make it to the beach, and it will all go from there. Luckily, Darren has disappeared for a while leaving Amy to do this. However, Bliss, Becky, Zero, Flash, and Robbie have taken upon themselves to follow him to see what he's up to. Kuroi has a different mission altogether that no one besides him, Scar, and Scourge know about. Altogether, they've also decided to keep it all from Lucrecia not knowing what she might do. And also to keep it from Paige and the rest of them. They probably wouldn't believe them anyway.

Remembering the plan, Rosy nods slowly. "Yeah, I'm positive!"

In fifteen minutes, Amy's finished getting dressed and walks back out...

Her long pink hair is braided down her left side and stops just by her waist, and it's tied at the end with a white hairband and green, waterproof eyeshadow just like her twin, but a different color. On her wide curvy hips graced a white, thin see-through bikini wrap that hung a little bit off her hip, the green and white bikini bottom showing beneath it, the matching bikini top that was a little tight on her bosoms, white sunglasses on the top of her head, white flip flops, a diamond anklet around her slim right ankle, and a silver cross necklace hanging around her neck.

"Wow! You almost look exactly how you did when we first met Sonic and his friends last year!" Cream claps her hands excitedly.

Amy blushes a bit. "Except I'm a little bit fatter than I was then..."

"You're not fat, sis!" Rosy rolls her eyes and walks over to hug her sister on her shoulder. "You're just thick like a coke bottle!"

Her sister blushes even harder and pushes her away. "Aaah, shut up! We're twins, so are you too!"

Rosy only laughs as they all hear a horn honk loudly from outside. "Looks like Melody is ready to go. I'll see you two at the beach!"

She gives her twin a quick hug, waves goodbye to Cream, and runs out of the bedroom door.

Now, Amy and Cream are the only ones left to leave. The sound of tires screeching is heard next.

"Ready to go, Amy?"

"Yeah, hold on a sec." Amy walks to her vanity to look into the mirror. She frowns a bit.

Cream sees this and rolls her eyes as she walks to stand next to her. "You look pretty, Amy! So stop worrying... I'm sure he'll like it!"

"Yeah... you're right."

Amy and Cream grab their stuff and exit out of her bedroom. In the hallway, the girls run into Lily with Echo and Coral in her arms. Echo has a lovely smile on his face, while his sister, Coral is frowning a bit...

"Leaving for the beach, I see?" Lily smiles to the two girls.

"Yeah, you wanna come along?" Amy asks her.

Cream speaks next. "Charmy, Aleena, Jill, and Lill have already left with the others, and Tails took Zale with him, so the rest of you guys should come too!"

Lily thinks for a second. "Why, of course! A day at the beach is just what we all need I'll see if Julie will bring along Ace and Iris!"

The excited maid hands Echo and Coral to Cream and Amy and walks off to go find Julie and Rosy and Scourge's twins.

I hope we aren't going to be too late...

[.Elsewhere on the Island.]

By the beach...

Manic slowly drives the bus down the boardwalk by the beach. In the bus with him are Tails in the back with camera and Zale in hand along with Charmy, Dante, Jake, and Calvin. Ty and Scourge sit in the middle. Up front with Manic, is Scar sitting in the passenger side.

The girls took the bus Melody was driving and have already made it to the beach before they did.

"Are we there yet?" Charmy asks for the third time.

Tails sighs. "Almost."

"Okay... are there now?" The bee boy asks again.

Scourge and some others all groan in slight annoyance. "He's just like Adda is..." He says quietly to himself.

Ty happens to hear him. "Adda? Who's that?" He asks curiously.

Sounds familar.

"Your ki-" Scourge begins to say, but changes up. "I mean.. my brother's kid.. my niece."

Almost let that one slip...

"Oh." Ty says once and nods as he lays his head back on the seat. "I assume it's the 'Sonic' fellow I've heard so much of?"

Scourge laughs a bit. "Yeah, it's his.."

"Mmm.." Ty thinks to himself for a bit as the bus starts to slow down.

"We're at the beach!" Manic says trying to recall the words that he said on a particular day last year.

"Really? Yay! Finally!" Charmy cheers happily.

Tails and everyone else take a look out of the window to see the beach filled with tons of islanders playing in the sun, in the water or playing some type of beach activity. All wearing swimsuits and applying suntan lotion to their slightly darkened skin. Many of the girls on the beach were watching the bus very closely with all their eyes on the boys inside.

"Random girls..." Ty says boredly.

In the back, Calvin scoffs. "Yeah, random cute girls!" Jake and Dante do not share in his enthusiasm, but only nod.

"Yeah, sure.. sure.." Ty yawns as he's not in the bit interested in seeing them.

Scourge and Manic smile knowingly and up ahead, their eyes land on four girls carrying four babies with them.

"There's Amy and Sis!" Charmy yells out.

Just by hearing Amy's name, Ty's eyes automatically open, and he looks out of the window to see the group of girls walking down the beach by the bus. His eyes land on her carrying Coral on her hip and a beach bag on the other. In his eyes, it seems like the sunlight is shining directly around her body. Her swimsuit hugs tightly to her curvy, voluptuous body as her hips sway side to side with each step she takes. Strands of her long, pink hair flutters in the wind as it blows all around him. Also, in her hand, she's holding a lemon-flavored Icee which she shares with Coral. From the beach, both men and women stop to see the girls walking by.

Goddamn, She looks to beautiful... Like a model or something.

Aah! What am I saying? She has a fiance! Even if he's a total dick...

Damn, I hate that guy... She deserves someone better to marry than that asshole. Someone like me-

Wait, me? Aargh! Stop it! I have a girlfriend! Paige, what would she say if she saw me staring at.. Amy like this?

But-

I can't look away...

Behind her Echo and Coral seem to have the same type of glow around them as well.

Them too?

But-

Funny thing is, Cream, Ace, Iris, Lily, and Julie don't have this strange light around them. It only encircles around Amy, Echo, and Coral.

This is a strange feeling.

Very strange...

All a sudden, a mind-numbing pain shoots through his head making him tear his eyes away from the scene to hold his head in his hands.

"Another headache?" Jake asks as he leans up from his seat to check on him.

"No.." Ty shakes his head. "I'm alright." The painful feeling in his head soon eases away

"44-30-29, for the pink one... 39-28-37, for the rabbit..." Scourge says all of a sudden and loud enough for almost everyone to hear.

"What?" Ty asks when he hears him.

Scourge shakes his head. "Oh, nothing. Just saying random numbers is all..."

"Right..." Ty only looks at him strangely before turning his attention back to the sight. As he's looking, Scourge is smiling ear to ear at his brother knowing their plan is working like it should be.

"Those two are a pretty sight, huh? Bro?"

Unknowingly, Ty nods to his question, but keeps his eyes glued on Amy and her friends walking outside.

Why does this all feel and look so familar..?

Just what is going on here?

It feels like I should be remembering something, but can't-

"Ty! Come on, or are you going to sit on this bus all day?" Scourge taps him on the shoulder. Ty snaps out of his thoughts and realizes that everyone else has already gotten off of the bus to meet up with the girls. He does the same, and is the last one to hop out of the bus.

From there, he follows Scourge to where the guys went to face Amy, Cream Lily, and Julie with the two sets of twins in their care.

"You brought them along?" Scourge asks when he stops in front of the group.

"Huh, oh yeah! We couldn't just leave them home while we all go out... right?" Amy asks with a warm smile as she hold Coral close to her.

Cream does the same. "Besides, Tails brought along Zale with him, so what harm can it do?"

In Tails' arms Zale smiles softly to his mother as she waves to him. Charmy flies up behind Tails to wave also. The three smile back to her. In Tails' hands, he holds the camera up to start recording.

"Smile for the camera!"

Cream frowns. "Don't point it towards me!"

Scourge only shakes his head and laughs. "Nothing, I guess." He turns to see Ty making his way up to see them. He looks back to Amy and gives her a heads up

Ty stops in front of Amy as their eyes meet. "Hey, Amy. You look

Behind him his friends are once again giving each other curious as well as mischievous glances. Well, more like Dante and Calvin. Jake has a slight look of concern on his face, but he quickly shakes it away.

She blushes mildly as the memories of herself and him of the night before on the beach rush into her mind making her look away from his long-lasting gaze. "Oh, t-thank-you!"

"You're welcome.. I see you brought Echo and Coral with you." He says next when he sees them.

Amy looks up and nods shyly. "Umm.. yeah.." Lily, also feeding him an Icee, steps forward with Echo in her arms to show him to them all as he's dressed in white swim shorts and dark purple shirt matching the end of quills.

Ty smiles at him. "Hey, little man! How are you doing today?"

"Gah Gah! Gah Gah!" Echo pushes his small body away from Lily's and reaches straight out for Ty.

Amy blushes madly and tries to keep a straight face. "T-this again..."

Why Echo? Why?

Embarrass me again...

*Sighs*

At least you know that he's your father.

"Mmm?" Ty questions with a curious look, but then smiles.

They all their eyes on him as his arms stretch out to meet with Echo's. The little boy laughs and holds on tight to Ty's chest and snuggles into it.

"Awe..." Cream, Lily, and Julie say at once only making Amy feel more of the embarrassment.

Well, that was unexpected...

But it still helping.

Echo leans himself up and looks back to his mother. "Milkie! Milkie!"

Amy freezes completely as a red stain covers her entire face. Her eyes narrow toward her son laughing and pointing back at her. "Why me..."

Ty only laughs and pats the little boy's head. "So he remembers that too?"

Oh God...

Why are YOU remembering that?

Scourge, Manic, and Tails all smile to one another and then look back to Amy and Ty. Scar stands back watching the scene with a smirk on his face having the same thought as the three and Cream.

It's working...

Amy sighs and lowers her head into her hand. "Echo, Ty isn'-" It pains her to say it, even though it's false. Just before she gets the rest of the words out, he stops her.

"No, it's alright." Ty quickly tells her as he plays with Echo in his arms. "

She stares at him. "A-are you sure? Because-"

He shakes his head. "Yeah, it's a little nickname he made up for me, right?"

A nickname?

Sure... a nickname... Yeah, he can think that for right now...

Soon, he'll realize that-

"Well..." Before Amy can respond to him,

"HEY! WE'RE OVER HERE YOU GUYS!"

A female voice yells to them from the beach. Looking over, they see Paige running and waving to them. Behind her, they see the rest of the girls all sitting down and relaxing under a large beach umbrella and sitting on a large beach towel. Also there are a cooler, lay back chairs, a stereo, and other things for the beach outing.

There were in a special section of the beach only allowed for the royalty and VIP's.

"There they were!" Calvin says as he spots the missing group. "Now, we can party!"

Jake rolls his eyes. "Some of us just want to relax on the beach. Not party."

Dante laughs. "Some of us meaning only you!"

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR?" Paige yells again,with a hand on her hip. "TY-"

Her eyes narrow on Echo snuggled into Ty's chest and Amy right next to them holding Coral in her arms.

"What the-"

Why the hell are they standing so close like that? And why is he holding her kid in the first place? What if someone seems besides sees them standing together like that?

They might mistake them for a-

A couple and their two kids! A little family even!

Just seeing them together URKS the hell outta me for some reason...

Abby runs up behind her, jumps on her back almost making her fall forward, and yells. "COME ON YOU GUYS! WE GOT EVERYTHING ALL SET UP!"

Ty turns to them with Echo still in his arms. "WE'RE COMING, ABBY!" Turning back to his friends and Amy,

"Come on, let's go!" He gives a smirk towards Amy's way making her blush a little bit.

"O-okay." She says nervously as he leads the way.

Scar clears his throat finally saying something. "I'll be keeping watch for you-know-who."

"Dar-?" Amy starts to say, but he nods and shakes his head at the same time. "Who else could you possibly look out fo-?"

Scourge interrupts them. "You'll see. Just go on and head over with the rest of them. We'll be over there in minute."

"Mmm... alright then.

As they all leave to head for the beach where they were all set up, Scourge, Manic, and Tails stay behind. Cream takes Zale along with her.

"Man, did you see the look on his face?" Manic quickly asks him. "AND how he talking to her?"

"I know right... it's all falling into place. If we keep up this pace, he'll have his memory back in no time!" Tails said next.

Scar smiles to the thought. "Yes, and when he does.. all hell will break loose." He and the boys share a hard laugh before he turns to leave.

"I'll be keeping watch for their arrival..." As he walks away, Manic and Tails are a bit confused by his last choice to word to them.

"What's he-"

"I'll explain that!"

I've got one more surprise up my sleeve...

Scourge gets the two of them into a huddle to tell them something he hasn't shared with anyone else yet...

"What? Really? Mina and Fiona let them?" Manic asks with shock in his voice as his brother whispers into his ear.

Tails is even more surprised. "I thought they were hell bent on not letting them come back!"

Scourge nods and smiles. "Yeah. Me too.. but once they got wind of the news, all of that changed in a flash! All we do now is wait.."

"COME ON, YOU GUYS!" Rosy calls to the two and waves her hand as she beckons them over to where everyone is sitting on the beach.

"WE'RE COMING!" He yells back to her and then pats his brother on the back.

Scourge, Manic, and Tails head on over to the spot everyone else were seated. Cream and Tails have taken Zale to go play in the water. Lily, Julie, and Melody have also done the same with Echo and Coral. Echo has a hard time leaving Ty, but they manage to sneak him away from him. Charmy and Lacey follow along with the group. Calvin, with his surfboard, took it upon himself to go and check out of the beach scene by himself.

Now the only ones left are, Amy, Rosy, Chanel, Scourge, Manic, Ty, Paige, Mariah, Abby, Dante, and Jake are left siting there...

"Soooooo..." Chanel starts off saying and gets a nudge from Manic siting next to her. She glares at him.

"What?" She whispers harshly.

"You're making it too obviously!" He whispers back to her.

Chanel rolls her eyes and turns back to everyone looking back at them. "Like I was trying to say!"

He rolls his eyes and grabs a soda from the cooler to cool his own nerves.

"How are you guys all friends? I mean, you know all about us now, so what about you guys?" Chanel asks coolly almost making Manic spit up his drink.

"Aahh! What you do that for?" Some of it sprays onto her making her irritated and mad with him.

Scourge, Amy, and the rest of them all hold back their last as Manic tries to explain.

"That's them most intelligent question I have ever heard you ask anyone ever!"

"WHAT?" Chanel screams into his face.

With that comment, everyone sitting next to them bursts out in complete laughter making Chanel blush and stare angrily at Manic. He's also laughing, so it's hard to keep a straight face with her looking at him like that.

"Whaaaat? I'm sorry..."

Chanel snatches his drink away and drinks some of it. Manic gets up and starts running away as he knows what she's about to do...

"GET BACK HERE!" Chanel gets up to chase after him.

"NO WAY! NOT UNTIL YOU PUT THAT SODA DOWN!" He yells back at her.

"NEVER!"

Everyone watches as she chases as Manic who easily outruns and dodges her...

"Well those too are.. lively!" Mariah comments.

Paige agrees. "Yeah, almost reminds me of Abby and Calvin..."

Abby scoffs. "HA! Yeah right!"

Amy, Cream, and Rosy can totally see the similarities in them too.

Still laughing to himself, Scourge turns to them. "So going back to what Chanel was asking..."

"Oh! Me first!" Abby raises her hand. "I was born on raised on O'ahu and grew up with these guys!"

As everyone gets a turn, their stories are pretty much the same. Grew up on the island and became fast friends as a result. Now, there is only once left...

"Ummm... what about you Ty?" Amy asks almost quietly as she looks his way. Paige catches wind of her making her frown. She then scoots closer to him to rest her head on his shoulder.

What's with her?

"Huh? Me?" He leans back and scratches the back of his head. "Well, that's kind of a long story..."

Amy lowers her eyes and looks away from him in disappointment. "Oh.. you don't have to te-"

"No, it's alright. No harm in telling you." He assures her getting up to look up again.

"O-oh, okay." She returns his smile.

"Paige, why don't you help him tell it?" Mariah suggests.

Jake nods. "Yes, since she was the one that found him."

Amy and the others look to her with some concern.

S-she found him?

"Alright.." Paige sits up and clears her throat. "Well, one day last year... around the month of July. On the day of the 25 or 26-"

Wow, at least she's specific...

"I was walking along the beach one afternoon by myself.. That day, I was kind of sad about something that I cant' remember, when I saw something in the distance. Getting a bit closer, I saw it was a man. He was beaten from where I was standing, so I got closer to see that he was seriously injured, unconscious, and in tattered clothes! I panicked and called for help to get him to the hospital.. As I waiting for the doctor's to see what was wrong with him, I was scared that he wasn't going to wake up!"

She stops for a second as Ty pats her on the shoulder.

"I finally woke up a few hours later in a hospital bed to see her sitting next to me with her head down. When I spoke up, she jumped up and hugged me kind of hard. I was in bandages, so it hurt a little, so I didn't mind. She told me that I was found on the beach all battered up.. and she asked me who I was.. but-" Ty takes a deep breath.

"I couldn't remember... not who I was, where I'd come from, what happened to me! Or even something as simple as my name.."

Amy sees the look up despair on his, Paige's, and everyone else face as he spoke.

"Since he washed in with the tides! We named him Ty! Isn't that cute?" Abby butts in. "And sometimes, he even gets headaches! We went to the doctor to check on that, and they told us, they think it is because he's close to remembering something!"

R-really?

Scourge remembers Ty having the same experience when they were on the bus. "Mmm..."

Amy also remembers something. "Huh?"

He had a headache on the beach when me and him were alone together last night...

Was he remembering... something?

About me?

Paige smiles and rolls her eyes at her. "Haha, yeah.. I didn't want him to leave him homeless or anything, so I let him stay at my house! And over time, he came to get used to living with us. He even befriended everyone and my friends!"

Mariah snickers. "One of us more than friends..."

"I see.." Amy quietly mutters to herself as Rosy rubs her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, sis." Her twin gives her a soft smile for support.

Paige blushes madly and ignores her friend. "We've been together ever since.

"That's pretty much it!" Ty laughs a little, but then quiets down. "Maybe, I'll remember something or I wont.. we'll just have to wait and see."

"Oh." Is all Amy and the others can say. All this information only confirms what they already know what is to be true. Ty is the one and only Sonic. He just doesn't remember his old life or them yet. With the plans they have in mind, they hope to change all of that.

"Enough with this! I wanna swim!" Abby shouts out following Mariah who also jumps up to her feet.

"Yeah, come on lets go!"

"YEAH!"

As everyone gets up to head for the water, Ty stays behind watching all of them leave. Amy stops mid-step and looks back at him curiously...

"Ty?"

A tap on her shoulder comes from in front of her. Turning around, she's face to face with Abby smiling at her.

"Huh?"

"Ty doesn't really like the water." The sea green fox explains.

Amy frowns. "Why not?"

Abby nods knowingly. "Yeah, he has bad flashbacks or something whenever he gets near or too deep into the water if he even considers going into it. Usually, he just sits back and watches us..."

"Oh, okay.." Amy's faces shows to be one full of worry and concern.

"We try to get him to come, but it's no use.. even Paige can't get him too.." Abby sighs and turns back to the beach. "He's usually fine just watching us, so don't worry too much about it, princess!"

With those last words, the girl runs off towards the water. Thinking to herself, Amy looks back at Ty with his head down and his legs crossed...

Maybe I can get him to come!

Slowly walking back over to him, he doesn't notice her presence until she clears her throat.

"Umm.. hey, Ty?"

He looks up and smiles seeing her there. "Hey, what's up? Why aren't you in the water with the rest of the guys?"

"I was waiting for you, but Abby told me that you don't really like the water.." She explains.

He shakes his head. "Nope, but you can go on ahead. I don't mind sitting here by myself."

Amy frowns and places a hand on her hip. She starts pleading with him. "Awe, come on, please!"

"No thanks.."

"Please?"

"No thank-you..."

"PLEASE?"

"Amy.."

"Sonic... I-I mean Ty!" She quickly corrects herself as he eyes her with a smile."Sorry..."

Ty sighs as Amy stares at him with a puppy dog face, and he looks down at his lap before picking himself up. "Alright, alright.. have it your way. Lead the way to the water, but not so close to everyone else. They might get a little worried seeing me by the water too much."

"Oh okay. Yay!" Amy chirps as he takes her hand in his making her slightly jump back and blush.

"You okay?"

"Ummm.. yeah! Let's go!"

Over in a more secluded spot in the water away from everyone else...

Amy slowly makes her way into the crystal clear water and turns around to see if Ty is following. He's still standing on the shore watching her from afar.

"Would you come on already?"

"I don't think so this is far enough!" He laughs as he watches her walk back to him and grab his hand. In a hurry and without thinking clearly, she pulls off his shirt leaving him only in his swim trunks. The sunlight seems to glisten off his each of his muscles causing Amy to stare at him for the longest time. Ty smirks at her and starts to wonder when she would stop.

Oh my God...

Why did I do that?

Eh, it's too late to think about that now... he just looks so-

All of sudden, Amy notices him looking back at her looking at him, so she quickly turns away before he can notice her blush.

Of course, he saw it!

"Come on." She reaches back, grabs his hand, and begins leading him into the water. Slowly, but surely, he eases his way into the water. At the same time, Amy can hear him breathing a bit more heavily than he normally does.

"Are you okay?"

Ty is staring down at the water, but nods to her question. "Yeah, I'm alright.."

"Mmm..."

When they are at least waist deep in the water, Amy stops walking and turns back to him. "Ready?"

"For what?"

"THIS!"

She pushes him back into the water and watches as his whole body goes under.
Laughing her butt off, she waits as Ty makes it back to the surface coughing up water and laughing back at him.

"Oh, that's what you meant..." Ty hears her laugh even harder.

Damn...

I thought I was a gonna.. or that those flashbacks would come back!

But... they didn't.. Why?

I'm surprised I even got in the water THIS deep... do I feel safe with her or something?

Amy shakes her head and manages to hold back her giggling. "Haha, I'm sorry, but I did warn you! Are you alright?"

Maybe this will remind him of the time we were all playing at the beach!

I hope..

"Yeah.." Ty leans up to grin at her. "The question is: Are you ready?"

This look from him gives her mixed feelings of nervousness and shyness combined. "W-what? Why are you..." She slowly backs away from him as he steps her way.

"Oh, don't try to escape now!" He tackles her into the water making her scream out as their wet bodies touch under water. His arms are holding tightly around her waist as she struggles to escape from his grip. Amy holds her breath until, Ty allows her to come back to the surface to draw in more air to her lungs.

"You asshole!"

Ty only laughs. "Haha, takes one to know one!"

Amy growls. "I'm gonna get you for that!"

Back and forth, the two dunk one another under the water. With their playing, they move into deeper water. Each time, their bodies become more and more close as they continue to play in the water. Even with the cold water, the warmth of their bodies keep each other flushed with heat.

Soon, Amy rises slowly back to the top and looks around for Ty...

He had, somehow, grabbed onto her leg to pull her deeper under the water as he laughed at her. She's gotten free of his strong hands and is waiting for him to break the surface next.

Where is he?

He should have floated up by now..

She waits a few more seconds and then starts to worry. "Oh no..."

Diving back underwater, she looks around frantically until her eyes land on his body slowly descending lower and lower into the water. On his face, it looks to be one of pain as he holds his head. His eyes and mouth closed. Body looking a bit limp.

He's running out of air!

Dammit!

Amy curses and rises back up into the water to take in a breath up air. Holding it all in, she dives right back into the water and quickly swims toward his body. In a matter of seconds, she reaches him and takes his hands into hers.

He's too heavy for me to swim back to the surface carrying him.

She pulls his face towards her own.

He's so hot... in the water...

Like a sexy merman...

Aahh! Stop it! Just. Stop...

Shaking her head from the distracting thoughts, Amy brings his face toward her own and opens his mouth. Blushing brightly, she lets their lips together as she breathes the air into him filling his lungs.

Hope that works...

Amy continues to kiss his lips as his eyes slowly open to see her next to him. His arms slowly wrap around her waist pulling her closer to him. His lips kiss right her back with a much more intense feeling. Amy feels his hands running through her hair as he pulls her closer and closer to her until their noses touch. She loses herself from the feeling and almost forgets about what's happening around them until,

Their eyes open and meet making her pull back from him with a wild blush as he smirks at her even in his current situation.

And he wakes up right when I do the same...

Great.

Smiling in achievement and blushing madly, she points to the surface telling him they should swim back up. He nods slowly and manages to come to his senses enough to swim back up with her.

Amy makes it back to the surface to drag him back on shore and rest him on her lap. Ty coughs up some water and slowly opens up his eyes to smile wearily at her...

"Thanks... for the air... and saving me..."

"Ummm.. you're welcome... you really had me worried.."

"I did? Sorry about that... haha.." He smiles again, but then closes his eyes. "I had another headache.. underwater.."

Amy blushes a bit more and looks away from him for a second. "Y-yeah... haha.."

Another one? Then-

"TY!"

Amy looks up to see Paige and Jake running their way. Both with looks of concern and worry...

Crap..

"WHAT HAPPENED?" Paige asks angrily as she kneels by his side taking him out of Amy's lap and into hers.

Amy frowns with a bit of irritation before speaking. "We were just playing in the water, when-"

"WHAT? YOU MADE HIM COME TO THE WATER? DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE GETS CLOSE TO WATER?" Paige screams at her.

"B-but-" Amy starts to say.

From below in Paige's lap, Ty shakes his head slowly and looks up at the two. "It's not... her fault.. Paige... don't blame her.. please.."

Paige starts to say again. "BUT TY, SHE-"

"Let's go lay him down.." Jake suggests as he takes one of Ty's arm onto one of his shoulders. It seems to him that this is a situation he would like to avoid at the moment, so he turns his attention to his male friend instead.

"Oh, alright.."

Glaring at Amy, Paige does the same with his other arm.

As Paige and Jake help Ty back to their spot on the beach, Rosy runs past them and straight to her sister...

"Are you okay, sis? What happened?" Rosy asks her as she helps her sister out of the water.

Amy coughs up a bit of water and slowly nods. "I'm fine-"

"MOVE IT, BUBBLE BUTT!" A little boy's voice.

"SHUT UP, FART SMELLER!" A little girl this time.

"DIRT LICKER!" The same boy voice once more.

"YOU SUCK YOUR THUMB LIKE A BIG BABY!"

"YOU RUN LIKE A GIRL!"

"I AM ONE, YOU IDIOT!" The girl yells again.

"SOMETIMES I WONDER!" The boy shouts at the top of his lungs.

Who-

Amy and Rosy look up at the sound of the familar voices. Their eyes lock on Adda and Razor running their way toward them on the beach. Both of them are trying to get ahead of each other to see who would be first.

"Oh my..."

"-God." Rosy finishes her sister as they both feel tears coming to their eyes at the sight of the two children.

They haven't seen those two in over a year, so just seeing them all of a sudden now shocks them completely. Adda and Razor are now a year older. Adda's hair is now down to her mid-back, and she's wearing blue jean shorts, a yellow top with a orange flower design on the back, and her hair is in two pig tails. Razor grew an inch taller and his quills have grown much more, and he's in short khaki pants, a white Polo shirt, and black Vans.

The two kids run straight into Amy and Rosy's arms.

"ADDA!"

"RAZOR!"

"AMY!"

"ROSY!"

"WE MISSED YOU TOO!" Adda and Razor yell as they hug right into Amy's arms as she hugs them back.

"I MISSED YOU MORE!" Razor yells over her.

Adda growls. "NO ME!"

"NO MEEEEEEE!"

Adda and Razor argue back and forth, until Amy and Rosy stop them.

"Ahh, no fighting again, you two." Rosy scolds them.

"Okay..." The two little ones automatically listen to her making the two twins laugh.

"Hey, can we see our little half brothers and sisters now?" Adda quickly asks Amy as she hugs on her leg.

Rosy nods. "Yeah, they're just over there. You can go see them now, if you like!" She points over to Scourge and Julie holding Ace and Iris, and Lily and Melody with Echo and Coral.

"AWESOME!" Razor pumps his fist into the air and races off to go and see them. Rosy goes after him.

Amy and Adda share a laugh as they watch them go. "Adda, what are you two doing here?"

"Grandpa said we could come and visit you guys! On account of-" Adda stops speaking as her eyes dart in a particular direction.

"Huh? Adda?" Amy asks curiously.

What's she-

"Is that.. daddy?" Adda quietly asks as she spots a dark blue hedgehog a few feet from them sitting on beach towel.

Amy looks over to where she points and slowly nods. "Umm.. yes.. dear.."

She can see Sonic in him too...

Good.

"Who's that lady with him..." The little girl asks next as she sees a blonde, blue-eyed hedgehog kneeling by his side checking up on him.

"Umm... that's his girlfriend." Amy is sad to tell her.

Judging by the shocked look on the little girl's face, she really wasn't expecting that. "B-but I thought you were his girlfriend, Amy..."

"Umm.. It's hard to explain.. Adda."

"Oh... Oooh, there's my mommy!" Adda points behind Amy to a yellow mongoose walking up to them with Scar and Kuroi walking behind her.

Mina?

She's here too?

Oh boy...


END~

Aahh... Adda and Razor are back... AND MINA? Things are about to get a lot more you-know-what, ;)

Guess you'll have to wait for the next update to see that! xD

Also, and one more thing before I go: You can all go to my DeviantArt (sToya41) account to see what Amy and Rosy look like in the story, particularly in this chapter! I've also finished a picture of Echo and Coral as well, but I haven't posted it yet. But I may do so int he morning, cause it's late, haha...

I might draw the other characters of this story, if you want and the OC's! But I will need some help on drawing the guys, because of males are not my strong suit, -.-

Anyway...

READ/REVIEW

Peace!~
