Chapter 10
It was morning and the fourth day of their five day trip. Sonic awoke from his slumber, and he felt something on his stomach, it was his white shirt. He sat up, looking around to see where Amy was. She wasn't in his sight, so he stood and put on his shirt. Sonic also put on his shoes, vest and attached his sword to his belt. By the time he was done, Amy was walking up from the shore line. She must have taken a walk around the lake. When she saw Sonic, she looked away, sadly. Sonic was curious.
"Are you mad at me," Sonic asked her wanting an answer.
"No...it's just...," She couldn't think of what to say, so she lied, "I'm not ready for a relationship; my father told me I have to wait to become queen."
"Oh...right...I'm probably not good enough ether, he wants someone richer than me doesn't he," Sonic asked sadly.
"Sonic, no, well, I...look, lets just forget it ever happened," Amy said and then turned around. Sonic felt hurt inside, but pushed that feeling aside. He then started walking past her so they could get to Prince Edward's by tomorrow. She followed silently.
It was quiet the whole time, maybe a few 'Yes's or a few 'No's here and there. But other then that, there weren't many conversations. It was just like their first day, no talking at all. It was too bad; most of their day was like this, all day long. It was that time for a rest, so they sat down in the shade. Sonic picked some berries and gave a few to Amy. They finished their berries and stood. This silence was getting to Sonic; not talking for so long was just too much.
"Are we just going to say nothing the rest of the way there," Sonic asked her.
"I don't know..."Amy said looking down. Sonic went to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up to him not expecting his touch.
"We can still be friends, though, right," Sonic asked with a smile.
"Of course," Amy said back with a smile. Now that they finally spoke and knew that they still were friends, it wasn't as quiet.
Nothing exciting went on today, just a bunch of walking. Soon it was night, like the whole day went by so fast. Sonic stopped walking and looked out to the sunset, where the sun was setting; he could see a large building. It was Prince Edward's castle. Amy stopped beside him.
"That's his castle, you'll be there tomorrow," Sonic said still looking at it.
"It's pretty big, I hope Edward's father is nice," Amy spoke. Sonic turned and walked to the grassy field, Amy followed him. Sonic sat in the tall grass and laid back. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Amy sat down but did not sleep, too much was on her mind. She tried to sleep but she couldn't. It was until midnight Amy could close her eyes and fall asleep slowly.
