8: The Last Trick

Amy paced about in the small room as she tried to think of a way to get out. For some reason, she couldn't shake Sonic off her, which was something she could usually do if she tried hard enough. She also couldn't find the strength to use her hammer to its full potential and she grew frustrated at the thought. She just hoped that Luke would find her and come and rescue her.

She couldn't believe that her friends could accuse Luke of such a thing. He was the sweetest and most amazing guy she had ever met and she couldn't understand how anyone could hate him.

She looked around Sonic's room, looking for any idea on how to escape. His room was hardly furnished with only a bed and a nightstand with a lamp and a small picture of his friends. Nothing really handy.

She figured she would have to jump out the window. She ran over and tried to open it but groaned when it was locked. That was just her rotten luck. Now what was she going to do?

As Amy tried to go over a plan in her head she was brought out of her thoughts by a knocking sound on the window. She looked up and her heart jumped for joy when she saw Luke sitting on the windowsill. He smirked at her as she ran over.

"Luke!" She gasped. "You've come to rescue me!"

Luke brought his finger in front of his lips, telling her to be quiet and Amy smirked and nodded her head.

"Listen carefully Amy." Luke said, his voice muffled by the glass window. "I have a plan."

Amy beamed and nodded and pressed her ear against the window so she could hear him better. "I need you to pretend that you don't love me anymore when they come and check on you."

Amy gasped. "I can't do that! I want to scream how much I love you from the rooftops."

Luke smiled at her. "You can do that after you escape, but I need you to do this for me Amy."

Amy sighed. "Ok."

"Good girl." Luke praised before he continued to explain his plan. "Pretend that you don't love me anymore and pretend to be in love with Sonic. When you go downstairs, Tails is keeping the chaos emeralds in his workshop. You need to steal those and then get out of there and bring the emeralds to me."

"What do you need the chaos emeralds for?" Amy questioned.

"So we can start our new life together honey." Luke smiled and Amy sighed dreamily.

"That will be wonderful."

"So you can do that for me?" Luke asked and Amy smiled and nodded.

Satisfied, Luke jumped out of sight and Amy took a deep breath as she prepared to put Luke's plan in motion. This was going to take all her cunning in order to make this work. She had to do this. She would do anything for Luke and was willing to give it a shot if it meant she could escape the people she thought were her friends.

Amy jumped as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs and someone whistling. Sonic. She ran towards the door and knocked on it as she heard him walk by.

"Sonic?" She called out.

"Amy? You ok?" He asked, concerned.

"I-I think so." Amy acted confused. "What happened?"

"Wow, I knew you were tough but I didn't think the drug would wear off that fast." Sonic said happily and Amy smirked as she heard him moving the things away from the door.

Amy stepped back as Sonic opened the door and she immediately flung herself into his arms. Sonic grunted as he staggered back at Amy's sudden embrace and he awkwardly tapped her back before she released him and smiled at him.

The hug made her feel weird but she quickly shook the feeling off. She couldn't let anything get in the way of the plan.

"Are you ok to come downstairs or do you need to rest?" Sonic asked as he angled his body towards the door.

"I'll come downstairs." Amy replied as she made her way past Sonic and into Tails' workshop. The only problem was that she wasn't too sure where they kept the chaos emeralds. She'd have to do some seriously sneaky snooping.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Sonic questioned her, his voice full of concern. "When I get my hands on that Luke…!"

"Oh, he's not worth it." Amy tried to say sweetly when really she was screaming on the inside. If that blue hedgehog dared to go anywhere near him then she'd knock his head off with one clean swing of her hammer.

"Yeah, well no one messes with you on my watch…I mean, you know because you're…umm…a good friend and everything." Sonic said awkwardly and ran his hand through his quills.

Sonic's words made her feel funny, but she couldn't quite understand what it meant. "Well I appreciate the help." Amy said a little too coldly.

Sonic gave her a funny look before Amy realised her mistake and quickly wrapped her arms around him, almost tripping him up.

"What would I do without my hero?" She said dramatically.

Sonic squirmed under her tight grip and managed to pry her arms off him. "Are you sure you're ok Amy? You're acting kinda weird…well more weird than usual."

"I'm fine." Amy sang, but Sonic continued to watch her as they made their way into Tails' workshop. Great. Now how was she going to find the emeralds with the fastest creature on the planet watching her?

"Are you finally all clear?" Tails asked as his eyes inspected Amy.

"Looks like it." Sonic smiled before jumping onto one of the benches near the window and lying down. "Now things can get back to normal."

"Define normal." Tails muttered under his breath with a smirk on his face.

Amy sighed as her eyes scanned the room and wondered if she was a bunch of powerful gems, where would she hide.

"What if Luke comes looking for her?" Tails asked eyeing Sonic carefully.

The blue hedgehog just shrugged. "Then I'll knock him out of Mobius."

Tails rolled his eyes as he fixed one last bolt into place. "Finished."

"What is it?" Sonic asked.

"A new canon for the Tornado." Tails said proudly. "Now I just need the fuel source and it will be good to go."

Sonic and Amy watched as he typed in a code in a small vault and Amy gasped when the door opened to reveal all seven chaos emeralds inside.

"With a chaos emerald, taking out Eggmans' largest robots will be a breeze now." Tails explained as he picked up the red emerald.

Amy saw her chance and figured she might as well take it. She quickly ran over and snatched the emerald out of Tails' hand and grabbed the other ones from the vault.

"Amy what are you doing?" Sonic demanded seriously. "Is this some kind of joke?"

Amy didn't reply as she summoned her hammer and held it ready for defence. "Stay out of my way!" She ordered as she slowly made her way towards the door.

"She must still be intoxicated." Tails sighed as he glared at her.

"You tricked me!" Sonic gasped out.

"Yeah well I thought you guys were my friends as well!" Amy yelled as she quickly ran out the door to where Luke was waiting for her.
