Chapter Twenty-One—Epilogue:

Letter to Vanilla

Amy glanced around on the bed at the different pictures before putting each one in the envelope. The first picture was of the group. The second picture was of the next day after the whole event—the team had gone on the tubes again and Sonia got some pretty good shots.

In one, Vector was lying on his back and floating down the creek while Alicia and Espio sat close together, fishing. Another one was of Shadow and Amy in a tube with Amy on his lap. Shadow was staring at Amy while Amy was busy talking to Sarah.

The next picture was of Sarah in Sonic's lap, giggling and trying to talk to Amy while Sonic kissed her cheek. Rouge and Knuckles were in the next picture with Silver and Blaze. They were like Shadow and Amy with the girls in the guys' laps. Rouge was gossiping to Blaze about something that Amy forgot but Silver was giving Blaze a weird look while Knuckles' mouth was agape.

Tails and Cream were in the next picture on their tube, fishing and smiling at the camera. Manic was behind Scourge who were both wading through the water, Manic was ready to dunk Scourge but in the next picture it ended up the other way all while Fiona was in her tube in the background, calmly flipping through a magazine.

Charmy was flying up in the air in the last picture of that day, just smiling at the camera. Other pictures were crammed into the envelope by the rose hedgehog. She grabbed her pen and started to write on the paper she got from Tim.

Dear Vanilla and Aleena,

I'm sorry you two couldn't be here! We're having loads of fun, though the first week was a bit rough. Don't worry though, Sonia brought her water-proof camera and we snapped a few photos to send to you before coming home. We've had tons of excitement here at Brick Creek; you can't imagine what we've done and gone through!

Next week we'll be off again, leaving you two to spend some more girly time together. Knuckles and Rouge told us about their engagement and now I'm the maid of honor! They haven't set out a date but promised to notify us when they do, instead of wait like they did before. Plus, Rouge has a grand trip to the East Mobius beaches—we'll be staying at the Sunset Resort. It's a pretty neat hotel actually. Shadow was afraid it would be a dump like most hotels he'd been to.

These two weeks have truly gotten us closer. Manic and Sonia are actually getting along with each other and Scourge and Fiona have turned to the good side. Their friends have stayed around and we've learned they aren't that bad at all—two that are married welcomed a baby girl to their world last week though we haven't met them yet.

Sonic finally goes into the water with a little push at least. Cream has a cold somehow and Knuckles found spider bites on his back. Fiona seems sick all the time, Rouge and I have PLENTY of blisters on our feet from walking up the creek, and Espio has a new girlfriend. Actually, I think it's his first girlfriend…

Anyway, Manic got a bloody nose after Vector punched him for the last orange this morning by "accident" and Blaze was ran over by little kids in the creek on tubes, getting a big bruise on her head.

Don't worry; these are just the basic results from camping. Wait until you hear personally how we spent our first week. I'm sure Sonic or Manic will tell you. What a camping trip it's been!

Love always,

Amy Rose

"Rose!" Shadow called from downstairs. "Come on, we're going to help Tim with the cabins now!"

"Just a second! I'm writing a letter!" Amy called back to him.

"Well, hurry up!"

Amy glanced back down at the paper before scribbling down a few more words. She left the paper on the paper and raced downstairs to meet up with her boyfriend, ready to destroy some cabins with her friends.

On the bed, the neat handwriting said:

P.S. You know the bracelet I said I found a week before we left to go camping? I told the group and Shadow freaked. I guess he was thinking about the ring in the velvet box in his closet…
