"Amy…"
"…"
"Amy"
"Five more-"
"AMY!"
"WHAT THE-" shouted the scared hedgehog as she sat on the grass quickly. The bright golden sun made her go blind and blink twice before getting used to the light. It didn't take long for her to realize she was outside Tails' Workshop.
"How the heck did I get here?" she asked and then yawned "Ummm… I should have fallen asleep while watching the sky again" She laughed and rubbed her head "Oh silly me"
"Well I don't think you're silly. Maybe cute, but not silly"
Amy shrieked and jumped a little. She turned around, and then it was her heart's turn to twist.
There, behind her, stood the emerald eyed and royal blue colored hedgehog that made her go like Jelly-O. He was in his cool position, leaning on a tree and grinning at the helpless pink hedgehog sitting on the ground.
"Heya Ames" he said with his sweet, yet cool voice. Amy just sat there and stared at her glorified love.
"Hi Sonic" she said, spending the last reserve of air she had in her lungs.
His emerald forest eyes sat on her, like waiting. He wanted her to do something, anything.
"Ummmm… What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to break the awkward silence between them.
"Nothing, just starin' at ya. Ya're kinda cute when asleep" he said and started walking towards Amy. He sat on the grass and looked at the scenery they had in front of them.
A whole meadow, full of flowers of every size, type and color. You could tell the grass was the greenest ever seen in the entire world, and everything seemed like got out of the greatest painter's painting. Amy just stared at this. How did she never realize THIS was behind Tails' house?
"Do ya like it?" Sonic said, looking at her.
"How did I never see this before?" Amy asked really confused.
"I made it all only for ya. That's the reason" he said and laid on the grass, put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. "I think ya loved it, how could ya not?"
"Wait. YOU did THIS?" she said pointing to the scenery "Is that even POSSIBLE?"
"Everything's possible when asleep. Have ya ever heard that?" he said with indifference.
"What are you talking about?" Amy was even more confused "Are you mad?"
"Nope" Sonic said and opened his eyes to only looks at Amy "I'm not mad, neither this is real"
"So that means I'm dreaming?"
"Exactly. Clever girl" he chuckled.
Amy stared at him and then lowered her gaze. Of course this was a dream; it couldn't be possible that Sonic could be here with her.
"And you're a product of my imagination, right?" she said closing her eyes, ready to cry.
"Now, I'm not from your imagination" he said "I'm… Ya could say that I can talk with you through your dreams" he said scratching his head not sure that Amy had understood.
Amy looked at him with a confused face. Sonic looked at her, thought for a moment and then said "Have you ever heard that people can, ya know, talk with… umm… DEAD people in their dreams?" he asked. Amy merely nodded. "Well, that's how I can talk with you!" he said smiling "I'm dead, and I know it. But every time you're asleep, I find my way into your dreams, got it?"
"Kind of" said the light pink hedgehog. She understood almost everything. "So, that means THIS" she signaled the meadow "is a dream, and that YOU are a spirit, right?" she said.
"Yes, that's right" he said smiling.
Amy thought. Of course she had had this kind of dreams before. She reprehended herself for having forgotten it. Poor Sonic, he always had to explain her everything over and over again!
"Yeah, now I remember it. Tehehehe, sorry Sonic" she said smiling embarrassed.
"No prob" he said chuckling "I don't care explaining, as long as I can see you every night"
Amy and Sonic then lay there, watching the cerulean blue sky. They always did every kind of things in Amy's own world. They had gone into an imaginary Twinkle Park, to the beach (and Sonic DID swim this time), to meadows, to every place in the world. And now they just lay there, doing nothing, and Amy was amazed by this. Sonic was the type of guy who always wanted to do something.
"Sonic?" she called for him "Why aren't we doing something?"
Sonic looked from the sky to Amy and opened his mouth to say something. But something… no, someone interrupted them.
"Amy?" the voice called. "Where are you?"
"Wha?" Sonic mumbled confused, looking at Amy.
"Silver?" she called back. "Silver!" she said as she recognized a grey figure not so far away.
"Wait. Amy-" Sonic said, but Amy was too far for having heard him.
The blue hedgehog then stood up and brushed himself. He then looked at Amy waving her arms at Silver.
"Amy!" he said and ran to her. Sonic watched at the grey hedgehog dumbfounded and walked to Amy. This had not happened before and was confusing for our lost hero. On the other hand, Amy was watching Sliver running to her, wondering how he got here. Could he have also found a way into her mind, like Sonic did?
"I have been looking for you" Silver said smiling, completely ignoring Sonic. Amy just blushed, something that only he could make her do, thought the cerulean hedgehog. He frowned and closed his hand, making a fist.
"R-really?" she said, dazed by his white smile.
"Okay, Amy. Let's go" Sonic said with a bit of angriness in his voice and grabbed Amy by her arm. Amy didn't realize this and kept looking at Silver, who frowned.
"No, she's not going anywhere" Silver said and grabbed her other arm. The she hedgehog then realized this and looked at both hedgehogs grabbing her arms and growling.
"Silver, let her go" said Sonic pulling Amy.
"No, YOU let her go, Sonic" said Silver as he imitated Sonic and pulled her, too.
"Okay, you stop this right now" said Amy freeing herself from their grasp "Stop fighting, you're not going anywhere with this"
"What are you doing here, anyway?" asked Sonic "How the hell did you manage to get in here?"
"That's an easy question" answered Silver "I'm always here, inside Amy's mind" he said grinning.
Amy just kept looking at both hedgehogs. She was between them, and felt a little nervous. The girl just walked behind Sonic and told the grey hedgehog "Sorry, Silver, but this is the only time I've got to spend with Sonic"
"Really? And what about me? I mean, the one that's outside, that is" Silver said "I'm always taking care of you, and hugging you when you cry, and sitting right next to you hearing what you've got to say. Don't I deserve a little piece of your dreams and thoughts?" he asked.
Sonic and Amy just looked at him, like thinking.
"He's not alive, Amy" the imaginary Silver said "You're just hurting yourself more by letting him enter in your mind"
"That's not true!" complained the royal blue hedgehog "We have a good time together every night, right Amy? You're just bothering us!"
"I was no talking with you, Sonic" Silver said calmly "Amy, let him go"
Amy was speechless, hiding behind her beloved hero. She was breathing hard and sweating. Silver was right, and so was Sonic.
"Come on, Amy. Don't hurt yourself and come with me" Silver extended a hand to her smiling "Please?"
Amy looked at his hand, and then at his face. Of course she would have developed some kind of… feeling for that hedgehog. He had been the one who didn't got tired of her babbling the same nonsense, the one who came without excuses to her house, the one who helped her always…
The pink girl got out behind Sonic and started walking to Silver.
"Amy…" Sonic said. Amy ignored him.
"Amy, if you do this, you won't see me again. Never again" he said in a serious tone.
Amy stopped and turned to Sonic. "What?"
"That's the rule" he explained "You go with him, and forget me. And I'll just disappear. I don't want to disappear, Amy. Stay with me" he begged her and extended a hand to her, just like Silver did.
"Come with me, Amy" said Silver "Or else it'll hurt much more"
"No, it won't. We'll have fun every single night, Amy"
Don't stay.
I'll disappear.
Choose me.
Amy woke up sweating and panting like mad. She sat on her bed and looked at her surroundings. It was dark, but she could see her furniture and exit door. Back at her room, Amy sighed relieved.
She then thought of her dream. It was much different from others, anyone could say that. After Sonic's funeral she hadn't been able to sleep, not even to close her eyes. The petite girl started to have insomnia and was ordered by her doctor to take some pills to sleep.
She wasn't sure of this, and was a bit scared, too. Fearing that she would remember good times with Sonic and then wake up to realize those times where gone forever. But Silver had encouraged her to take the pills and get some sleep, saying it would be alright and that he would be by her side all night long. Since that day, when she slept properly after Sonic's death, she started to get visits of her love's spirit. Of course she thought the Sonic in her dreams was imaginary, but he had convinced her. He was real, and Amy thanked God for that.
But then, she woke up. She felt alone without Sonic's company, that hedgehog that was the only one who could make her smile when she was mad. Amy started recalling all her memories with him in the day, waiting for the night, and for that matter, her sleep time.
This was her routine; she would put it like that. Recall memories, and then go to sleep and see Sonic again. Day to day, night to night. That's when Silver came in.
He always came, no matter what. Rain, sun, storm, snow, it didn't matter; he would find his way into her house in order to be with her. She always admired his patience and understanding, when it came to her and her nonsense. She always thought that he was just too good to her, having in mind that the girl-hog never showed affection, but dependence on him. She always talked about herself with him, and never asked about Silver. Not even a 'How are you today?' like she used to ask everyone before.
She remembered that when she first met him, she thought his innocence was kind of cute, and the way he blushed whenever she would hold his hand or talk with her was priceless. When Sonic avoided her, Silver would be there to be the hero's replacement and go with her to watch movies, shopping and much more. She saw the way Silver would bear with the boredom of shopping clothes just to be with her, and was really thankful for that. When her silver friend and Blaze moved out of Station Square, she was left without a part of her daily routine, and so she focused on her chase-Sonic situation. Silver was one of a kind, he never disappointed her.
Amy blushed at her thoughts. She had developed some kind of… love for Silver. But she ended confused when she asked herself what kind of love she had for him. It was no brotherhood, no friendship…
Absolutely NOT a romantic relationship.
Or that was what she thought. What she HAD to think.
When she thought of that possibility, she shook her head and cursed herself for having considered that. She had always loved her one and only hero, there was just NO WAY she could love Silver that way. If she let herself do so, well, she felt bad.
Like if she was betraying Sonic or something like that. He had say it himself "You forget me, and I'll just disappear"
She didn't want that. The blue hedgehog's emerald eyes always brought her peace, and his smile a shade of red in her muzzle. She loved the way he toyed with her hair and sweet talked to her nonstop. She would miss EVERYTHING he did for her. She could not bear the thought of her not seeing Sonic again.
This was a battle in Miss Amy Rose's head all night long. A voice that shouted for her to let go, and the other one claiming that she would be hurting herself even more.
Amy sighed, no one could imagine what she was going through in her own mind. With all that shouting and fighting.
She lay again on her bed, more, but not completely, relaxed. The girl closed her eyes, preparing herself for another dream. This time she would try not messing it by thinking of Silver.
What, she thought, was going to be pretty hard.
Whoa. I haven't written for like months. Teheheh, I was kind of busy, and with the computer's fandango… Well, you understand.
See you… ummmm… Maybe in a month? (When I come back to grandma's, that is)
