Cream stirred inside. Her meeting with Tails had been so fun that even she was surprised. Spending time with Tails was a great joy to her. At the same time, being close to Tails made her nervous. But maybe that wasn't a bad thing. She couldn't deny that she liked Tails. Tails didn't hide that he liked her much. He even dropped her home in the evening. Even though his home is so far from her home. This was a big sign. She needed to talk about this. When she got home, she immediately went to her room. After wearing something comfortable, she took her laptop from her desk and set it on her bed. She turned on her computer. After it opened, she opened Discord. Girls looked online. She initiated a group call. Shortly after the call, they all turned on their cameras and appeared on the screen.
"Hello, cute amulet!" Rouge said with a laugh. Cream laughed too.
"Hello to everyone."
"Roses bloom on someone's face." Amy said. Cream's cheeks were still red. Although their meeting with Tails was over, she was in tension and her face was not reverted.
"How are you?" Blaze asked in a low voice.
"I'm great. Usual." Rouge said. Amy got closer to the screen and smiled:
"You look sweaty. Did you go for an evening run or something? " Rouge grinned.
"It was actually a walk, but it may have turned into a run for a while." Amy raised one eyebrow:
"What does that mean?"
"I'll say, but I forbid you to laugh."
"Promise. Please tell me." Cream said.
"OK. In the evening, when I get bored at home, I sneak out of the window. And this time when I came out I ran into Knuckles. " The girls looked at Rouge with shocked eyes.
"Really?! So what happened? "
"Of course he was surprised to see me all of a sudden. When I asked him what he was doing, he said that he likes walking in the evening and invited me to take a walk with him.
"You are kidding ?" Blaze couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"How cute it is to take a walk with the kid you are always dealing with." Amy said with a chuckle.
"Hey! I said it was forbidden to laugh. "
"Of course you had to turn it into a confrontation, right?"
"A little encounter doesn't hurt. He also beat me this time. I have to give it his due. "
"Beautiful. I hope things go the way you want. " Rouge frowned slightly. There was no such thing between them.
"What about Cream?"
"Yes ?" Cream was stunned.
"You started the call. You look quite happy too. What have you done? Do you have what you want to tell us? " Amy asked.
Cream grabbed her ears with her hands. She sat sideways for the camera.
"Well, I am today…"
"Come on, don't chatter. Tell us." Rouge said.
"I met with Tails today." She said in a snap. Amy's eyes and mouth opened in shock:
"WHAT?!" Cream pulled her ears in front of her face and covered her face.
"Really ? How did it happen ?" Blaze asked.
"Well, he phoned me yesterday. He asked me if I wanted to meet. I said okay too. We met today and chatted a lot. "
"I can't believe you didn't tell me about this. You wouldn't be hiding anything from me? " Amy said. She frowned.
"I was shocked by the incident. I didn't even know what I was thinking. Also, I was afraid what kind of reaction you would react. " Amy laughed softly.
"Don't be silly, how can I react?"
"So what, aren't you angry to meet a guy?"
"Cream, since when are you banned from meeting men? Have I said such a thing before? "
"No but…"
"Okay then. Why would I be mad ? Moreover, for a simple date. I'm just angry that you don't tell me. Don't hide anything from me. "
"Sorry." Cream smiled, saying.
"When will you meet Sonic too?" Rouge grinned. Amy frowned again:
"What ?! Why would I do something like that ?! Don't you know how mad I am with him ?!
"You can't say you're not interested in him. You are always standing next to him. "
"Because he's constantly messing with me. If somebody messes with me I'll mess with him. Everything is mutual. "
"What if he's dealing with you because he's also interested in you?" Amy's cheeks flushed slightly:
"Don't be silly. There is no such thing between us. "
"If nothing else, why are you so nervous?" Rouge grinned.
"She's right about that." Cream said with a laugh.
"Cream at least you don't. You know this subject best, please. "
"You are meeting someone who sees your real form for the first time and will you push him with the back of his hand right away?" Amy swallowed. Her eye went to the hammer bracelet she was still wearing. Then she quickly shook her head:
"I will not talk more about this topic. I'm leaving. Good evening to you." She said and left Discord. Cream let out a deep breath:
"Aaahhh, classic Amy. She will necessarily be harsh. "
"Excuse me girls. I have to go out too. I have a little job done. " Blaze said.
"Is it something important?" Rouge asked.
"There is nothing to worry about. I will let you know. See you later." Blaze said, and she's out of Discord. Rouge and Cream were left alone. Cream's eye fell on the ceiling.
"Psst." She woke up with Rouge's voice and looked at the screen again.
"Yes?"
"You want Sonic and Amy to be together, right?" Cream smiled:
"What are you saying ? Even Knuckles and Tails think they should be together. Amy, Tails said, was good for Sonic. Which I also agree with. In Amy, she feels more like a girl when you're with Sonic if you ask me. I wish she accepted it herself. " Rouge put her hand on her chin. She closed one eye.
"Actually, something comes to my mind. A little matchmaking wouldn't be bad, how about you? " Cream was surprised:
"So what ? Are you going to make a plan to bring them together? "
"Yeah, don't you think it's okay?" Cream quickly shook her head:
"No no no. I can not interfere with that. This is a personal matter. Moreover, the two characters we mentioned are strict from each other. It's a very difficult job. If it will, it should be spontaneous. Not by force. "
"We're not going to do anything by force. We'll just give a little help. Come on, be a little brave. " Cream rolled her eyes:
"This has nothing to do with courage. Do not mind, I can' get a scolding for this from my best friend. You better not do it either. If you will, you are alone. "
"Don't Cream. All I have to do is keep them a little alone. "
"How will you do this?" Rouge smiled:
"I will think of something. It shouldn't be that hard. " Cream raised her hands in the air:
"As I said, I'm out of this business. You are on your own whatever you do. I only wish you luck. And don't do anything that will endanger them or anything like that. " Rouge frowned.
"Exaggerate, exaggerate. I will make them stay alone. What harm could it do? "
It was 12:00. It was lunchtime. It took about half an hour. Rouge was leaning against the wall next to her classroom door, her foot against the wall. There was a grin on her face. Cream came out of the classroom, surprised to see Rouge:
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting to implement my plan." Cream squeezed her lips:
"Look Rouge, are you sure you really want to do this? Not a good idea if you ask me. You should not interfere with other people's relationships. "
"Would you be comfortable? It's not the first time I've done it. If you only know how many people I put together in middle school. I am considered an expert in this business. Many of my friends would come to ask me for help on this. "
"Yes, they may be coming, but I draw your attention that in this case both parties will not know what happened. They don't want it to do this either. "
"Don't worry. I am sure they will thank me when everything is over. " Cream let out a deep breath:
"I did. I'm telling you again. You are alone about it. Don't confuse me. I don't know your plan anyway. Don't try to say it. " Rouge chuckled:
"Why are you so whining? I'm not doing anything bad. " Cream put her hands in the air and entered the class again and called:
"Doesn't interest me!" Rouge laughed. She continued to wait, leaning against the wall. A few minutes later, one of the school's servants, Mr. Evan, appeared in the hallway. He was a goat and he was one of the most cheerful members of the school. He was also the one Rouge had been waiting for. She immediately went over to him with a big smile.
"Hello, Mr. Evan. How are you? " Evan smiled at Rouge:
"Hello my girl. I'm fine, how are you ?"
"I'm fine too."
"What do you want?" Rouge hesitated. Her face became sluggish:
"How did you know I would want something?"
"Come on, Rouge. Everyone knows that you are one of the most cunning students of this school. It was obvious, especially when you were waiting for me. What do you want? I hope it's not an extreme thing. "
"No, it's not such an extreme thing. I was just going to ask for the storage key. " Evan stared at Rouge's face. Rouge continued to smile:
"What happened ?" asked.
"Do I have to ask for what purpose you want the storage key? You haven't lost your mind, have you? " Rouge chuckled:
"Of course no. Don't worry. I intend to do a little matchmaking business. I don't have a bad purpose." Evan looked back at Rouge's face for a few seconds:
"Don't you think it sounds like a little forcing?"
"Please, Mr. Evan. I owe you. Just let me do this job. "
"Debt? And you? Who knows what you would do to get what you want. Don't open my mouth. "
"Will you give me the key?" Evan exhaled. He put his hand in his pocket. He picked up a bunch of tied keys. He unhooked one of them and handed it to Rouge:
"Your debt is debt. Don't let me give me any trouble, we'll fall apart. " Rouge giggled and took the key:
"Don't worry. Thank you so much." Evan laughed:
"Witch girl you. Achievements." He walked down the aisle. Rouge glanced at the key in her hand, laughing. "Now we can go to the easy part." She left the hallway. She knew Sonic and Amy were in the canteen. The two had been eating together recently during their lunch break. Supposedly they don't care for each other. Let them tell it to her cone. If they didn't do anything about it, then forced help was required. Her plan was simple. She would put Sonic and Amy into the storage and lock the door on them. It's a good excuse to spend time alone. She would keep them there during the lunch break. Enough time. The storage was downstairs. There wouldn't be much going downstairs. So no one else could get them out because there wouldn't be anyone to hear them. She already had the key. Someone else couldn't do anything. She entered the canteen. Amy and Sonic were always on the corner. She found them in the same place. It was time to come up with the plan. She hurriedly ran to them:
"Sonic! Sonic! " Sonic started. He frowned:
"What happened, Rouge?" said. Amy also stood up in a hurry:
"Stay calm. What is this bustle? Did something happen ?" she said.
"Sonic, you have to come right now!" Sonic stood up:
"Will you calm down? Tell me what happened."
"A group of upper classes locked Tails in the storage!" Sonic clenched his hands:
"What did you say ?" Amy was also worried:
"What?! What, when and how?! "
"I don't know. I think also… "She swallowed:" They knocked out him. " Sonic immediately left the table:
"Show me where now!"
"I'm coming too!" Amy said, following. With Rouge, they headed up the stairs. Sonic's anger was already starting to rise. He would make pay for those who did this to his brother. They went downstairs and came to the front of the storage. Sonic shouted:
"Tails! Tails are you there ?! "
"Look if we can open the door." Amy said. Sonic grabbed the door handle and lowered it. The door opened immediately. Both looked at Rouge:
"Didn't you say they locked it?" Sonic said.
"When I tried to open it it was locked. He may still be inside. " Sonic held his head inside. The storage was dark. It was not very large, as it was full of material.
"Tails? Tails where are you?! " shouting, Sonic entered. Amy entered after him. Rouge was waiting at the doorway. Amy and Sonic started inspecting the storage. Their backs were both facing the door. Amy looked for a moment and then spoke without turning:
"Rouge? Are you sure Tails is here? " Rouge suddenly closed the door without saying a word, and a lock sounded. Sonic and Amy rushed to the door with that reaction:
"Rouge ?! Rouge what are you doing ?! " Amy shouted:
"No, Amy. I'm not sure Tails is here. Because I know he isn't here. "
"What do you think you are doing ?! Get us out now! " Sonic shouted.
"I thought the two of you needed some alone time. You know, maybe you will finally admit that you are interested in each other during this time! "
"Rouge! Get us out! " Amy screamed:
"This is not a joke! I can't believe you did that! "
"You have left no other choice. You have become a mockery of the group. Admit that you are interested in each other and this is done. "
"Rouge get us out of here now! Or it will be very bad! " Sonic had patience.
"Only when you make your confessions. Or when the lunch break is over. Whichever is sooner. " Rouge laughed.
"Rouge!"
"I'm going for now. See you when the lunch break is over. Have fun with you. " Rouge's footsteps gradually faded.
"Rouge! Come here right now! Rouge! " Amy started punching the door. She was forcing the door. Sonic was moving into the storage and looking around. For any other exit. But the storage was on the bottom floor. Below the ground floor. There wasn't even a window. Such an environment was the last thing he wanted. On top of that, out of anger and fear at the thought that Tails was being bullied, Rouge lied to one of the issues he was most sensitive to, and forced her with Amy with a supposed love affair. It was all over the top. It was too much. Amy continued to push the door. She also knew that since they were on the bottom floor, no one would come to save them. As she continued to push the door, she called:
"Hey, Ice Cube. Help me open this. I forced the door hard. I think we can open it if we both force it. I can't open it alone. Come on. " There was no sound from Sonic. Amy continued to push the door and spoke:
"Hey Sonic. Come on. I need your help. You made me say that too. Don't fool around in this case. Come and let's open this door. " Amy turned around when she heard deep breaths coming from behind. Sonic rested one hand on one of the storage cabinets. His other hand was on his neck. He was trying to breathe deeply. When Amy saw Sonic like that, she came right up to him:
"Sonic. Sonic hey, are you okay? " It reappeared in her mind. Of course. Sonic couldn't stand confined spaces. It was certain that Rouge also forgot this. Sonic tried to speak through his deep breaths:
"I can't breathe. A-Amy, stay away from me. " Amy was stuck. She had to do something. Sonic couldn't calm down. She put her hand on Sonic's back and leaned to his level:
"Hey, hey look. Calm down. You're not alone. I'm with you. You are breathing very fast. Slowly. Take a deep breath with me. Come on, you can. " Sonic clenched his hand on the cupboard shelf. The iron shelf suddenly bent. Amy started with a twisting voice. When she watched Sonic's hand, she saw claws stretch from his fingers. He was losing control. He was going to have a crisis. Sonic pulled his hand from his neck and swung his arm away to push Amy away. Amy drew back quickly. Sonic didn't lift his head:
"I said stay away from me. I don't want to hurt you." Amy swallowed. But she didn't break his stance:
"I know you won't hurt me." She said and started approaching Sonic again.
"How can you know that ?! Even I don't know what to do right now! " Sonic raised his voice. Again his hand went to his throat.
"Look, I can see how hard it is for you. But you don't need to be afraid. You won't hurt me. All you have to do is calm down. I'm with you. "
"STAY AWAY!" His voice became reverberant. Amy's facial expression didn't change. Sonic raised his head slightly. Amy stared. At that moment, she couldn't see exactly in the fight, but it was clear now. Ice blue. White spaces instead of pupils. The rest is ice blue glow. Just like Blaze's. His teeth were also sharp:
"Please stay away." There was no anger in Sonic's face. It was as if what Amy saw was disappointment. She swallowed. And suddenly she was thrown at Sonic. She wrapped him in her arms. Fast. Sonic was startled by Amy's move:
"What ?! What are you doing ?!" Amy tightened her hug:
"I'm with you. You're not alone. You will not be alone again. You will not experience the same things. We can get through this. Together." Sonic's breathing was not slowing. Amy pressed Sonic's face to her chest:
"Focus on my breathing, my heartbeat. It's deep and slow. Calm your heart. You can control. " Sonic tried to do what Amy said. He was trying to slow his breathing, but now the energy in his body was too much. Just like the crises he had in his room for 5 years.
"Feel me with you. You can do it." Amy was trying to speak as softly as possible. Although seeing Sonic like this broke her heart, she had to remain calm. She never thought she'd hug Sonic like that before. But seeing him so helpless. Especially after learning all his experiences. She was really happy to hug him. And she wanted to continue hugging. Sonic continued to take deep breaths. He was trying to adjust his breathing to Amy's breathing rhythm. Although this awful cramped and enclosed space suffocated him, it felt really refreshing to feel Amy's breath. Even his father had never been so refreshing when he was drowned, that is, when he had a crisis. His breathing began to slow. He wrapped both arms around Amy. Amy smiled. Yes he was calming. They stopped hugging when his breathing slowed completely. Amy focused on Sonic's face. His eyes and teeth were back to normal. He continued to breathe deeply. He collapsed suddenly. Amy started, immediately crouched down and put her hands on his shoulders:
"Sonic? Are you okay ? Please say I'm fine. " Sonic closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. He smiled slightly:
"I'm fine, don't worry. Having a crisis causes me to spend so much energy at a time. That's why I feel exhausted. " Amy let out a sigh of relief.
"See, you did it. I knew you could do it. " Sonic averted his eyes. He clenched his lips.
"What happened ?" Amy asked. Sonic was afraid to make eye contact.
"You were very calm." Amy smiled and found strange:
"What's wrong with that ? We're just the two of us here. I was the only one who could calm you down. " Sonic tried to straighten his stance, but he was knackered:
"Aren't you really afraid of me? Didn't you think of me as a monster… "Amy put her hand on Sonic's lips and silenced him:
"Didn't I tell you not to address yourself like that?" Sonic swallowed. Amy slid her hand on Sonic's cheek:
"You know what I saw in that fight, although it's not very clear. Then I was not afraid at all. Now it is. There's no reason to be afraid of you. Yes, I saw it more clearly now. Do you want to know what I think of you? " Sonic wasn't sure he wanted to know this. But there was a girl in front of him who wasn't really afraid of him. Even Tails and Knuckles were afraid to see him like that. Amy had no hesitation. She had tried directly to calm him down. He shook his head slightly. Amy smiled:
"You were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Your eyes were like a spark of hope. Although I love your emerald eyes from the first moment I see it, believe me, ice blue suits you so well. "
Sonic didn't know what to say in the face of Amy's words. He swallowed. He bowed his head:
"Tails and Knuckles were terrified when they saw me that way. As you know my mother is too. I can't stand seeing it either. But you… "Sonic closed his eyes. He was very tired. His body fell on Amy. Amy hugged Sonic again. She was startled:
"Sonic?! Are you okay ?!" Sonic smiled:
"I've never felt so happy before. Thank you." Said. Amy laughed too. She put one hand behind Sonic's head. She placed Sonic's head on her shoulder as well.
"Rest a little. Somehow we're here until lunch break is over, you have time. " Sonic spoke out of breath:
"Remind me if I forget when we go out, I have a price to make Rouge pay."
"We both have."
Rouge had finished her lunch in the canteen. The grin on her face didn't disappear for a moment. She could say she was proud of what she did. She was also holding the key in her other hand. She was turning it between her fingers. About 15 minutes had passed since she locked up Sonic and Amy. At that moment, Tails, Knuckles, Cream entered the canteen. They immediately headed to the table with Rouge:
"What's up Rouge?" Knuckles said. Rouge smiled. She was also enjoying the walk last night. Her perspective on Knuckles had changed slightly.
"I'm fine, where did you guys stay? 15 minutes passed. Have you had your meals late? "
"It could be said that." Cream said with a smile. Tails studied the canteen.
"What happened ? Have you looked at someone? " Rouge asked.
"Yes. Sonic and Amy have not appeared since the beginning of midday. Where are they? "
"Well, they're a little busy." Tails arched one eyebrow:
"What do you mean?" Cream took a deep breath and rolled his eyes:
"Aaah, don't tell me you brought your plan to life." Rouge grinned:
"You know I do." Tails turned to Cream:
"What plan?"
"Rouge thought Sonic and Amy should be together like we do." Tails laughed:
"Really ? It means we all agree. " Rouge nodded with a smile.
"So she thought about matchmaking a bit. To unite Sonic and Amy. "
"What did she do?"
"I don't know that either. Because I said that no matter what she does, she will be alone. I don't interfere with such a business. " Rouge held up the key in her hand and turned it between her fingers.
"What have you done, Rouge?" Knuckles asked.
"I hope you didn't exaggerate." Cream said too. Rouge laughed:
"I just arranged for them a place where the two would be alone." Tails began to stretch:
"Aaaa, where is that? Rouge, can you describe what you have done properly? " Rouge pointed to the key in her hand:
"I locked the two of them in the storage." All three stared at Rouge's face.
"I can't believe you. Did you really do this? " Cream said. Rouge laughed:
"Yes, and it was easy to think if you can believe it. Aa and Tails, I learned that Sonic is pretty fond of you. I said you were locked in the storage by the upper classes. He didn't hesitate to go down to the storage. Amy, too, worried about you and followed Sonic. That was very easy."
"You're unbelievable. Really." Cream couldn't find words to say. Tails was trying to comprehend Rouge's words. He blinked. Knuckles was in the same situation:
"One minute, one minute. I didn't heard it wrong, right? You just said you locked Sonic and Amy in the storage. " Rouge grinned:
"Exactly."
"In the storage. So you locked Sonic in that narrow and closed space on the bottom floor ?! Tails raised his voice. There was too much tension in his voice. Rouge's grin disappeared. She, too, was getting slightly nervous:
"Yes? So what ?" Tails eyes widened in shock. He shouted:
"Are you out of your mind ?! Sonic hates tight spaces! You know this! He feels like he can't breathe in tight spaces! He will have a crisis because of you! Besides Amy! Do you have any idea what Amy would think if she saw that version of Sonic ?! "Rouge began to fear. Her ears fell off.
"We h-have to go down to the s-storage." Cream said, afraid.
"Yes. Yes, the storage. " Rouge said, and immediately got up from the table. Together they headed the stairs. They went down to the bottom floor and came to the front of the storage. Tails called out to the door:
"Sonic?! Amy ?! Are you okay ?! We are here, don't worry! Sonic, don't worry buddy we're here! Now you'll get out of there! "
"Amy! Amy, are you okay right ?! Cream called out too. Rouge was then trying to get the key into the lock. There was no sound from inside. They were thoroughly panicked. She finally managed to insert the key. She immediately turned the door handle. They opened the door. They were nailed in their place of what they saw. Amy and Sonic were sitting on the floor hugging each other.
Sonic was resting in Teacher Layla's room. His energy was just beginning to come. Just like before. Loss of control was causing this too. Feeling too weak to defend himself. He hated that. Fortunately, Layla gave her some of those energy balancing potions again. They really worked very well. He had only one thing on his mind now. That was Amy too. Today she really surprised him. There was really something different about Amy. He knew she was a tough girl and why, but he didn't expect that much. His thoughts were divided by the opening of the door. Teacher Layla entered. With that familiar smile on her face:
"Yes, speed do you feel ?" Sonic laughed lightly:
"I'm fine. Besides, isn't it strange that you call me master? Someone who has no control cannot be called a master, right? "
"It doesn't change what the speices is called. Glad you are fine. Amy did a great job. It's amazing how she calms you down just by talking. "
"Normally it would take too long. My father used to take shape to calm me down. " Layla laughed:
"It must be a different situation. Anyway, there is someone who wants to see you. He was very worried about his brother. " She said and called to the door:
"Miles, you can come in." Tails walked in. "I'll leave you alone. You will let me know when you're done. " She stepped out the door and closed the door behind her. Tails sat next to Sonic. He focused on Sonic's face. Sonic laughed:
"What happened ?" Tails's eyebrows raised:
"What happened? You know, I'll kill Rouge. How did she put you in such a situation. I'm so scared. "
"You may have to line up. Amy and I need to see her too. "
"We saw you. You had a crisis, right? " He swallowed. He was afraid to ask this. But Sonic replied quite calmly:
"Yes. You know it was inevitable in such a field. But…"
"But Amy was with you too. Aren't you afraid? "
"Actually, I was so embarrassed that I lost control next to her. I was so scared that she would be afraid of me. But she was very calm. She just tried to calm me down. I really couldn't believe her. "
"When you run out of energy ..."
"Yes. She didn't leave me. She helped me rest. And she told me what she thought of what she saw. " Tails started.
"What, what did he say?"
"I look like a spark of hope and that ice blue suits me well." Sonic chuckled. Tails was very surprised. Even he couldn't bear to see Sonic like that. Fear was hardly to say, but it definitely disturbed him to see it that way. This comment was something Amy hadn't he heard before.
"I was afraid she might say what she was thinking but I really wanted to know. And it made me feel very happy. " Tails was shocked by what he heard. Sonic hadn't expressed his happiness in a long time.
"No one had calmed me before, except my father. Just by talking. Even my father didn't know what to do. "
"We were thinking about it as a group." Sonic was stunned:
"What do you mean?"
"From the very beginning I thought Amy was good for you. Today she has really proven that. " Sonic laughed.
"She also reminded me of something I had to take care of."
"What's that ?"
"I was really afraid to ask her. I also know I promised by talking to you, but my fear was not gone. But I think it's time to find out. Whatever the outcome. "
"What ?"
"I will ask my mother if she is afraid of me."
