"Let's get Searching then" she smiled

"Right" I nodded

She released my hand, and I made a frown behind her back.

Alright Sonic, calm down for petes sake

Brushing off the debris from my jeans I started to help her look, the faint light that came from the hole I drilled into was of little help, bouncing off tiny fragments of windows so that there were small light beams throughout the musty hole. It looked as if this was an office building from the looks of the broken chairs and desks. Old aged computers were found too, a bulletin board came into view and I stooped down to pick it up. There were many events and get together that these people didn't get to go to.

That hurt. I wasn't able to save them... All those lives I could have saved, all those kids…they looked at me like im a hero , when I couldn't even save the girl.

A hand settled on my shoulder. I glance up with water threatening to escape my eyes, Amy was there, smutty face and all giving me a sad smile.

No, she's right here.

I couldn't help it. I grabbed her and hid my face in her chest. Her soft arms wrapped themselves around me and held me. Im not gonna cry, this isn't the time. But I just...need...

"It's okay you know, you cant win them all" she said softly. "I know you fought your hardest that day" she said softly. "It's still a little hazy to me, but I do remember your determined face, and I know those people are grateful for what you did"

Damn I missed her...

She pulled away first, making me look at her. "Found em" she grinned showing me the blue prints covered in dust"

"Amy.." I said with hope lacing my tone

"Yeah?" she asked

"I missed you" I said bringing her to my chest this time. "God I missed you" I said burying my face in her quills

"I missed you too..."she said holding on to me "Oh Sonikku I missed you so much!" she cried.

I held her to me and tried to quiet her, but she sobbed and sobbed. "Im so glad I woke up when I did! I would've lost you to that bitch!" she yelled in my shirt.

I chuckled. "She's not a dog Ames"

"Rabid Squirrel" she giggled between tears.

I chuckled. "Rabbid huh? Seems about right" I laughed.

She tore herself away from me and her eyes shined with the tears she just shed. She looked at me seriously.

"Sonic, this thing needs to be burnt, or I should give it to Tails, my dad's invention is too dangerous to have it fall into Eggmans greedy hands. I know now why he's been trying so hard to get me to talk; it makes Chaos Emeralds." she said seriously. "it can help us in case of anything, but theres also the chance of him stealing it away from us somehow, or getting his hands on the prints."

"That's true, but Ames, the gang had both he and Sally locked up in chains and stuff" I pointed out

"Yeah,but I don't think the gang can hold him in captivity for too lo-"

CRASH!

Before I knew it I was thrown across the office floor and slammed into a pile of desks. "Oof!" I grunted. I shot my eyes open and caught what slammed into the hole. The robot that took Amy was standing there, it looked like it changed itself into some glass carrier.

"Target acquired" it buzzed.

"Sonic! the Backpack!" she yelled tossing it to me. I wasted no time int catching it mid-air and slinging it over my shoulders.

"Capture Complete" it buzzed. Amy was sucked into the glass bubble and it looked as if she didn't have any space to move around. "Hey! Tin can!" I yelled.

"Claws off my girl!" I yelled.

Wait what? Crud, did Ames hear that?

Amy stopped squirming and stared at me through the glass, she smiled, a blush forming her adorable face, tears streamed down her face.

Yep definitely heard me. I smiled and nodded. That right, she's mine, she's always been. I revved up and struck the Bots leg and kept at it for a few seconds before I was full blown attacking the thing.

"Alert! Alert!" it rumbled. Amy screamed in fright at the shaking, but I just had to get her out of there.

"Alert Alert!" it complained. I stopped and before I could witness the damage. A body slammed into me, knocking me off balance.

"The fuck?! I asked pushing the body off of me. I stood and readied myself. Sally was on the floor, coughing. she shot me a smile, grey eyes replaced her blue orbs, a seductive smile on her lips.

"I thought you said you'd never hit a girl" she said standing up. she was still wearing a tight cat-suit, it hugged her hips and exposed a little too much cleavage with the buttons not buttoned all the way, Her tail ruffled itself and she loosened her auburn hair and shook it out .

"I wasn't quite finished with you Sonic" she said taking out her gun.

The robot crashed behind her, but of course she paid no attention to it. Amy looked through the glass helplessly, capturing my gaze.

"tsk tsk tsk, my eyes are over here Sonic." Sally said lacing one arm around my neck, the other faced Amy and her eyes widened in fear.

"That glass is everything but bullet proof Sonic" Sally said into my ear. I growled low in my throat and shot my eyes back at her. "I won't hesitate either hedgehog" she said and fired a little too close to Amy's prison. Amy squealed and tried thrashing in her small bubble-like prison

"It's as easy as pushing a button" she said against my neck. "Your behaving like I want your life, im only asking for one thing you know" she said gliding her hand down my clothed chest.

"Never in your life"

"Oh, that's not a good answer Sonic, I was hoping for a more reasonable answer"

"Then give me a reasonable proposal!" I growled. "This is bullshit Sally"

"It might be to you hero, but a girl has her needs, you try seducing a hedgehog that's too high strung off of a little girl." She spat.

"I've had just about enough playin little miss innocent with you, I had to try so hard to break that little bitch;s heart, I tried to be an all around amazing gal for you. God how I wanted to rule over you. You were just so caught up with her ever since she walked in! Whats up with that, then finnaly I swoon you over and we started dating, but you never once met my wants."

"It's because I respect a girl"

"Respect my ass! You just didn't want to hut Amy! What about me Sonic? Huh? I love you, and you never once showed me that, its always Amy Amy Amy!"

"Maybe because she was in a comma Sally! Maybe because it was my own damn fault fot not seeing where the boulder was gonna fucking hit! I feel so damn guilty for practically ending her life!" I yelled.

"I thought you loved me Sonic, why did you propose to me then? If you were in fact in love with that little rat what's with this?" she asked flashing the ring I gave her in my face. The small, elegant diamond ring seemed dull in my eyes now.

Why did i?...Because she was there for me, she was just replacing Amy? No, I took her kindness and told myself I was in love with Sally when I wasn't. I didn't understand what was going on with my emotions so I just locked them up and allowed someone to lick my wounds for me.

"I didn't understand my feelings, but now I do"

"Oh? And what are the final results?" she sneered.

"Im not in love with you" I said slamming my forehead onto hers.

"Argg!" she complained staggering backwards. Springing into action, I grabbed the gun from her swaying hand and swept her off her feet.

Pun intended :3

She landed on the ground with a bump and I aimed the gun at the robots chest area. It sizzled and made some sort of hissing noise, and exploded. It then fell slowly to its, knees and broke the bubble-like glass, freeing Amy. She stood up and yelled at me to duck. I didn't question her when I ducked and a large office chair flew past my head. I looked back to see Sally ready to pounce, I glanced forward just in time to see Amy fly past me in mid-air, slamming hard into Sally.

"You little rat!" Sally yelled trying her best to fight Amy off.

"Sonic!"

I snapped my head around to see Tails, Knuckled, Rouge and Shadow rushing towards me. I handed the backpack to Tails and told him to get out of here, I asked Shadow to follow him out while Rouge struggled to pull Amy off of Sally.

"Epic chick fight" Knuckles snickered.

"Right?" I agreed with a small smile.

"Can you douchebags help me?!" Rouge yelled.

Knuckles and I gulped and rushed over to th fighting girls. Rouge tossed….no im serious, she tossed Amy to me. Ames looked like a mad woman thrashing in my arms and calling Sally names.

"You ripped my hair you little shrew!" Sally barked

"Who the fuck cares whore?!" Amy hissed. "Drug addicted bitch!" she spat.

"Ames calm down" I said holding her tightly. "She isn't worth it"

I could feel her relaxing, and I released her slowly. "You okay?" I asked gently.

"Dizzy…." She said collapsing.

"Ames?...Ames!" I panicked.

Fuck it the bullet!

"Rouge!, Knuckles! We gotta get outta here!" I yelled rushing to the giant hole.

"Whats up?!" Knuckles Yelled

"Amy needs a hospital!" I said speeding out of there.

Not again

Amy felt cold, her breathing was almost non-existent, I felt a warmth coming from her, I don't know what it is but im sure as hell not stopping until I find a hospital. Tails came into view and I stopped and asked him fro help. He didn't waste any time in getting his stuff out the X-Tornado.

"Put her in here" Tails said quickly.

I placed her gently in the singular seats and was careful to strap her in, that's when I saw my hand was…crimson.

"Tails….TAILS! She's bleeding!" I panicked.

"Sonic calm down!" Shadow yelled pulling me away from her.

"No! Damnit im not leaving her again!"

"Sonic chill out man!" Knuckles said holding my other arm.

"Get him outa here guys, she's bleeding too fast, I need to get her out of here nd now!" Tails said closing her in. Amy was lifelessly laying her head to the side of the window, her eyes didn't dare to open themselves, her mouth was slightly agape, she was still covered in dirt and soot and her clothes were torn, just like that day I almost lost her, the day that haunts me. I collapsed staring at the rubbe concrete with tears in my eyes.

"Please…"

A Few Hours Later

X Sonic X

Freshly clothed, I walked into the Central Hospital and made my way to the front desk. Sitting there was a plump hippo, she was dark grey and had small glasses settled on her nose. When I placed my hands on the counter, she peered at me with tiny black eyes.

Creepy….

I asked for her room number. The hippo grunted out the room number and pointed down the spacious hallway. I nodded a thanks and left. I replayed my time with her. Smiling at some, frowning at others. I wasn't really fair to her, so I need to make it right.

She was there for me in toughest times and in my good days. I can't be so horrible and not be there for her just this once right? She was a friend. I passed the Mental Health Division sighn and looked at the room number ranges. She was on the second floor.

I didn't feel like using the stairs so I chose the elevator. The small craft was empty to my satisfaction and I pressed the second floor's button.

Groan, I should have just taken the stairs, these things are so damn slow. But then again, im in no rush

Muttering the room number in my head, I turned down where the nurse told me to go and I stood in front of the door, hands in my pockets. I'm doing the right thing. I twirled the small box in my pocket and smiled. Yeah, I'm definitely doing the right thing.

"Here we go" I said opening the room door.

She was staring out the window, her eyes were closed. She wasn't wearing any of her clothes except the ones the hospital must have given her. Her bedside table was decorated with a few flowers, my guess was from Bunnie and a few others. She seemed at peace for once. After closing the door her eyes re-opened themselves and I was relieved when I saw her bright blue eyes smiling at me.

Her lips curved upwards into a warm smile and she patted her bedside. I took a seat and smiled at her.

"Hey Sal"
