Hey guys. Sorry for the long update but I was redoing the chapters and making them much better so thank you for being patient with me. I suggest that before reading this chapter, you should read over the redone chapters because you may not understand some of the things in future chapters and I've also added another chapter, Chapter 5. Also I changed the POV to normal because I think that I write better that way. Thanks to the reviewers and even the people who just read my story. Since a good chapter takes some time to write, I am definitely going to be updating later than usual. Now, the disclaimer:

Disclaimer: I do not own characters, my sister's laptop or her amazing pie baking skills. However I do own the idea of this story. Now onto the chapter!

Chapter 10: Note 7, Clue 6

Tuesday, February 23rd

'4:00am, nah, too early for Amy Rose. 5:00 am, no way, still too early. 6:00 am, I give up, might as well just get up.' The rain was pouring hard outside the house of Amy Rose. Amy pulled herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom to shower. When she got out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around herself and headed to her closet. She put on a red, long sleeved plaid shirt and some ripped jeans. Amy went to her bedroom window to see how hard the rain was before deciding anything else. The rain was hard enough for her to decide to wear some black rain boots and a grey hooded jacket. She also put her quills in a ponytail with a red headband and she left her bangs out. She lastly applied some lip gloss and then she was ready.

Amy went to pick up her bag under the window and while picking it up she decided to see if the rain calmed down a bit. It hadn't. If anything, it was raining heavier. She was about to turn away from the window when she saw a blue streak. Amy looked and saw Sonic wave at her before speeding off again. She shook her head before heading downstairs and making some cereal. When she was done she walked to her car and got inside. She put on her seatbelt and put her bag in the passenger seat. Then, Amy started the car.

It was 7:11am. Amy knew that there was no way she would be late because there was at least an hour before school started. She pulled out of the driveway and started driving. She was surprised at how there were little to no cars on the road. 'Probably because of the rain,' she thought to herself. She was about halfway to school when everything went wrong. Suddenly, Amy found that she couldn't control the car anymore. When she checked she realized that the car had automatically shut off. It was skidding along the road and it was heading for a wall. Fast. Amy knew that she had to make a jump for it. She took off her seatbelt, opened the car door and jumped out before the car made impact with the wall.

When the dust cleared and Amy saw the damage to the car she couldn't move from her spot on the ground. Soon enough, she was soaked by the rain and finally the reality of the situation came crashing down on her. She had nearly died the exact same way as her parents had and she'd lost one of the last things her parents left for her. She knew that the damage to the car was too much for repair. She soon snapped out of her thoughts and realized where she was. She was in the street, in an unfamiliar place. Amy quickly got up and opened one of the car doors and took out her bag. She didn't want to be too late for school. She then headed in the direction of school, the rain beating on her head making what happened seem even more tragic.

Everyone stared at her as she walked into school, soaking wet, forty five minutes after school had stared. Everyone was heading to get their books for the first class of the day. Amy headed to her locker where Cream happened to be getting books from her own locker. Amy silently opened her locker and started to take out her books. Cream stared at her.

"Amy, what happened?" she asked when she finally regained speech. Amy took off her jacket revealing her slightly less damp plaid red shirt and put the jacket in her locker.

"Cream, can you follow me to the bathroom? I'll tell you there," Amy told her before closing her locker and walking away. Cream quickly closed her locker and followed her. Amy strode quickly to the bathroom and when she heard the door hit the wall after she had walked in she knew that Cream had followed her.

"What happened?" Cream asked. Amy pulled her quills out of the ponytail and took off the headband. She then walked over to one of the sinks and started to wring the water out of her quills.

"I was driving and the car shut off so I had to jump out before it crashed and then I had to walk to school in the rain," she summed up. Cream stared at her with an open mouth. She knew how traumatic that could have been for Amy.

"Thank Chaos you're alive. Why didn't you call me?" she asked the pink hedgehog who had now gotten most of the water out of her hair and was finger combing it.

"It was raining too hard. My phone might have stopped working," Amy replied. Cream would have gone to hug her but she wasn't exactly dry.

"I'm sorry about the car," Cream told her. Amy was trying to squeeze some of the water out of her shirt with no success.

"Ugh! I'll just have to air dry," she said aloud before going back to her quills. She pulled them back into a bun, leaving the bangs out of course, and put the headband on. Then she rolled up the sleeves of her shirt to her elbows.

"I have to go to the janitor's closet to get some towels. Go to your class. I'll see you later," Amy told her best friend. Cream nodded her head and left. Amy looked at her reflection in the mirror one last time before going to Gym.

It's time for lunch. Cream had told the rest of the group what happened and by now they had all asked her if she was okay. Whether it was in person or by text, they all had. At the beginning of Gym, Sonic asked if she was okay, she said yes and then he told her the excuse for skipping school the day before. The excuse was that Amy felt sick, so Sonic took her home and took care of her until she felt okay enough to come back to school. They would have talked more but Sally pointed them out so they got extra laps. So far everything had worked out well for them. Cream said something about how all of them were going to eat together, something about a meeting. Amy's shirt had dried out enough so she could still wear it but her pants were still uncomfortably damp so Blaze lent her some Capri jeans and flip-flops. Because she was changing into the jeans that Blaze lent her, Amy came a bit late to lunch so everyone else was already seated.

After getting her food on her tray, Amy walked over to the table all her friends were sitting at which oh so conveniently had one seat left. Next to Sonic. Just as she was about to sit down, Sally slid into the space and teasingly rested her head on Sonic's shoulder.

"Oh you were going to sit here weren't you?" she asked faking a sweet tone. Amy nodded her head angrily.

"Yeah, they saved that space for me," she said through gritted teeth and a smile. Sally looked up at her faking innocence.

"Sorry," she said sarcastically. Amy glared at her before going over to the only table left, an empty table able to hold about four people that was in the corner of the cafeteria. Sonic saw this and so he gave Blaze and Cream a look before pushing Sally off him and getting up to join Amy at her table. Blaze and Cream followed him. Seeing that there was no reason to be at the table anymore, Sally went and joined her 'friends' at their table.

"Sorry about Sally. She's been following me around all day," Sonic told Amy as soon as he sat down next to her. Both Blaze and Cream sat down in front of them.

"During the time when you were gone yesterday, Sally wouldn't stop asking me where you really were," Blaze said to them. Cream nodded confirming the statement.

"It's pretty obvious what she's doing," Cream stated. Both Sonic and Amy gave her a confused look.

"What?" they asked simultaneously. Cream rolled her eyes at them.

"She knows that you two were together yesterday so she wants to keep you guys away from each other," she told them. Amy blushed and Sonic was oblivious to it.

"She thinks that Amy is the reason I don't hang out with her?" Blaze and Cream nodded.

"Wow, she couldn't be more wrong," Sonic stated in disbelief. Throughout the whole conversation, Amy was thinking about what it meant if Sally was trying to keep her from hanging out with Sonic. Sally knows that Sonic likes the mystery girl. Does she think Amy is the mystery girl? Maybe that's why.

"Can we not talk about Sally right now?" Amy asked sounding uncomfortable. "Why did you guys want to have a meeting, anyway?" Cream's ears perked up hearing this.

"Because of the car accident, we were going to talk about how you would be getting home now," she informed the group. Blaze shook her head.

"Well, however you get a ride it can't be with me. My mom normally takes me to her office after school," she told the pink hedgehog. Then Sonic came up with something.

"Why don't you walk home with me? I had to sell my car so that my mom didn't have to work two shifts," he said. "I'll have you home quicker than any car can carry you." He said this with a wink. Blaze gave Amy a knowing look and Amy started to take a sip of her drink.

"So it's settled, you'll go home with Sonic," Blaze said smiling at Amy. Amy nearly coughed on her drink. She glared at Blaze and Blaze was clearly trying to stifle a laugh. Then she remembered work. When she went the day before, it was a quick 'get familiar' session. Today, it was going to be actual work. Which would take longer.

"Okay, but I have to go to work. Would you be willing to wait on me?" Amy asked Sonic. Sonic nodded his head.

"Sure." Amy muttered a 'thanks' and then went back to finishing her food. When it was time to leave the cafeteria, Amy caught Sally watching them closely.

"Cream you have to do the clue."

"Amy."

"Cream." Cream gave her best friend, who was doing her best puppy dog face, a glare before sighing and agreeing.

"What's the clue?" she asked. Amy gave Cream a guilty look.

"I don't know. Can you come up with something?" she pleaded. Cream gave Amy one last glare.

"Okay, I'm on it. I'll need Tails' help though." Amy nodded in agreement.

"Thanks. Sally's been watching me like a hawk. I needed to make sure she didn't see me doing the clue," she told the cream coloured rabbit. Cream rolled her eyes before leaving to go work on the clue. School's over. The rain had lightened significantly to the point where there was no rain anymore. After seeing Sally at lunch, Amy had kept looking out to see if Sally was following her. She was. They were in the parking lot. Sonic was on his phone telling his mom that he would be a little late to get home. When he was done with the conversation, he picked Amy up bridal style and sped off to the Chao Park.

Amy laughed as she watched Sonic get tackled to the ground by five chaos. She had been sent to go feed the chaos and since Sonic was closer to the bag with the food she had asked him to get it. And that was how they got in the situation they were in. A pink chao flew in front of her face and danced before joining in on tackling Sonic. This made Amy laugh even harder.

"Amy, get them off me!" Sonic yelled through fits of laughter. Amy felt as if she couldn't breathe with the laughter that was running through her.

"Throw the bag!" she got out before rolling on the grass again with laughter.

"Okay!" Hearing this, Amy positioned herself to catch the bag on the ground. Sonic threw it and Amy caught it. By now, there were eight chaos on Sonic. They looked confused for a second before realizing that Amy had the bag and going to tackle her. Amy didn't know what to do to avoid it but she knew one thing she could try.

"Stop!" she said while holding out her hand, signalling stop as well. She was surprised when all the chaos stopped. Both Sonic and Amy sighed before Amy went to fill the food containers. When all of them were filled and Amy put the bag away, all the chaos swarmed the containers, leaving the two hedgehogs to talk.

"Glad you're alive?" Amy asked sitting down on the grass next to Sonic. Sonic smirked and decided to play along.

"Of course, those chaos are strong you know," he told her. At that moment, one of the chaos flew over to them and sat in Amy's lap.

"Yeah, really strong, huh?" she said sarcastically while petting the chao's head. Sonics nodded his head.

"Thank God you were able to stop them," he continued. Amy shrugged.

"I guess."

"So, you having fun with your job?" he asked. Amy faked shock.

"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I?" she asked. Sonic shrugged. A few more chaos flew over to them now having gotten their share of the food. Amy looked around the park and caught Cream looking at them from behind a bush. Cream winked at her and Amy winked back before the rabbit disappeared.

"I'm surprised at how clear the skies are considering how heavy it was raining this morning," Sonic commented. Amy nodded in agreement.

"If the weather stays like this then maybe I can have some motorcycle riding lessons from Shadow later. If I can get out of work early," she said to him. Sonic raised an eyebrow.

"You like motorcycles?" he asked clearly surprised.

"Yeah, it has something that I like that cars don't. It makes me understand why you like to run so much," Amy told him. Sonic nodded in understanding.

"And Shadow promised you lessons?"

"Yup," Amy confirmed. Then there was silence. They just sat there looking at the park around them. A few people still remained in the park, either just taking their chaos out for a walk (or fly), or just looking at the beauty of the park and playing with some of the chaos. Most of the chaos had gotten food and so some were just pushing for seconds. One of the chaos got pushed so hard that it flew into the bush that Cream was in.

"I'll get it," Sonic volunteered while getting up. He walked over to the bush and ducked down to search for the chao. What he did find was not only the chao, but also a book that was open to the middle page that said,

'Clue # 6: You are like an open book to me.'

These words had a glow to them bringing out the effect. Sonic tried to turn the pages but found that the book was just a sculpture that looked like a book. He also found out that each letter had a light shining behind it. He came out of the bushes holding one more thing than Amy thought he would've.

"You sure you want to do this?" Shadow asked.

"Hell yeah," Amy replied enthusiastically. Since she had finished early, Amy called Shadow and asked if he had time for lessons. He told her to come over. Sonic ran her over to Shadow's house and Amy found out that Rouge was over there at the same time. Shadow told her the basics. And now, it's time to do a test run.

"Honey, if you don't get it right the first time, keep trying," Rouge told her. Rouge had just been watching from the sidelines and encouraging her.

"Okay," Amy said hesitantly.

"Try going straight," Shadow told her. Amy kicked off and went straight until Shadow told her to stop.

"How was that?" Amy asked.

"Good," he replied. "Now try turning left." She did it. "Try right." She did it.

"You know, this is easier than I thought it would be," Amy told Shadow. He thought about how to make it challenging.

"Try ride around the house," he told her. Amy took a deep breath before kicking off and riding around the house. She was surprised at how easy it was. When she came back, Shadow stared at her with disbelief as did Rouge.

"Honey, you're a natural," Rouge exclaimed.

"I guess," Amy told her. Shadow was impressed.

"Okay Rose, let's see what else you can do."

That's the chapter. Ooh Sally's suspicious. Things are getting interesting. Hope you liked the chapter. Please review. I'll try to update faster. Hope you like the new version of the story and there's nothing much left to say. Anyway, Good Day, Good Night, Eat some Pie, Until next time,
