Couple: Sonic x Amy
World: N/A (doesn't matter)
Summary: Omochao seems to know a lot of things… could he even know how to help Amy?
Prompt: After a few nights of her decision to stay behind and protect the Chao while Sonic and the team raced off to defeat Eggman, Omochao was instructed of Tails to remain with her in case of danger or threat.
Omochao flew over and hovered above where Amy was tending to a group of frightened Chao, who she lovingly petted and helped them try to get to bed.
"Oh, you poor things… Omochao? Could you fly up and get me some fruit for them to eat before bed? Can't sleep on an empty stomach!" she tried to sound cheery, as the Chaos looked up and smiled, seeming to have their spirits brightened at the promise of food.
Omochao bowed in the air, "Omochao can do that!" he flew up to the trees, struggling to pluck one off, but finally was able too. "You know, you could always use your hammer to whack down the fruit."
"Don't get sassy with me." Amy glared back at him, while continuing to comfort the Chaos.
"Omochao wasn't-" suddenly, Omochao's light that indicates auto-pilot switched to a green light, causing manual mode to engage.
"What was that?" Amy turned around, not in any anger, but just curious as to what he was trying to say.
"…Brr-zzt! N-nothing. I was simply doing as I was told." Omochao's eye-lens moved in and out, focusing, before his body quickly turned around.
"…Oh… well, um… You can get the fruit then!" Amy giggled a moment, he wasn't usually this dizzy in the head, and pointed down to the fruit.
"…Oh." Omochao looked down, before flying below and slowly, his arms cranked like a claw around a fruit, and he flew it over to her.
After a moment, Amy was holding the last chao, before it finally yawned, having finished his meal, and fell asleep.
"Alright! the last one!" Amy whispered happily, before setting him down in his own flower batch, near all his friends.
She smiled, "Don't worry little Chaos, I won't leave your side." She placed a loving hand by the sleeping chao, and took a relaxing sigh out, happy they were all at last asleep.
"Bzz-rrttz… Amy? Why do you say that?" Omochao turned his hovering body over to her. "You know you'll have to leave when everyone comes back."
"Yes… but everyone deserves a hero." she turned her body from the chaos and pulled her legs up close to herself, "Even little chaos." she smiled up to Omochao.
"…Do you… ever feel you are alone?" he tilted his head.
"Huh?" Amy was taken off by the question, "N-no… well, yes. But I wouldn't say I'm always alone." she looked away a moment, placing her chin on her knees and then looking off to the ground. "I mean, I have all my friends! Tails and Knuckles and…" she looked up at him, before seeming to blink her eyes and look away again. "And sometimes even Sonic." she sighed.
"…You speak as though he's never around." Omochao inquired, hovering closer to the other side of her, attempting to see her face. "Why is that?"
"He's just always off all the time… It's gets… pretty dull and lonely when he's not around… so…" she put a hand up to her eye, wiping it. "He's just gone a lot. That's all. But I understand."
"…You seem sad." Omochao flew down to the ground, and landed in front of her, his speakers switched in and out, before a cohesive sentence was heard again. "Do you feel abandoned?"
"…That's an odd thing to ask." She perked her head up, not sure how to answer that. "I wouldn't say he abandons me, no." she turned away. "But I do admit… that if you love someone… you shouldn't leave them alone all the time." she looked up to the stars.
"… Does Sonic never come around?"
"No… he doesn't usually." she shifted a little, seeming sadder as the topic went on, but didn't notice anything strange about it. "I know he doesn't mean too… and it's not entirely his fault… he gets whisked on missions all the time." she looked at a fruit beside her, and picked it up.
Seeing it wasn't half eaten or anything, she took a bite out of it.
"I'll never love another like Sonic though… so waiting's just sad is all."
"…." Omochao just continued to stare, before his eyes focused and zoomed in on her face and expression. "Do you get sad like this all the time?"
"…Emm.." Amy closed one eye and looked up, thinking about it. "Yeah… but I wouldn't tell Sonic that. He'd just feel bad." she took another bite of the fruit, before wiping her mouth, "He's got enough problems as it is. I wouldn't want to bother him too terribly much." she giggled, but was clearly hiding some hidden pain. "We've known each other for years… he's changed, I've changed… these last few years we've just grown distant… I mean, he hasn't even noticed I've stopped hugging him as much! You'd think a guy could tell! haha!" she covered up more sorrow, and Omochao's eyes kept zooming and refocusing in.
"He's just so funny sometimes…"
"….Amy…" Omochao moved up to her legs, using his tiny arms to pull himself up and towards her face.
She looked down at him, not sure what this behavior was.
"…I worry about you…"
"Omochao?" she looked confused, before realizing something. "Hey, since when have you asked so many questions anyway?" she then looked to see the light had switched, something so small and dim she didn't notice at first. "Ah! That light means manual override, right? But… I thought only Tails could hack into that!"
"Bzz~!' Omocha seemed to jolt back, being flung away from her through wireless control. "T-that is pro-preposterous! I am Omochao!" he flapped his arms around, before covering up the light. "I am Omochao! Omochao!"
"Alright, you sick twisted hacker!" Amy leaped forward to grab the mechanized chao, but it quickly darted upward, turning back on his helicopter. "If this is Tails, then you could ask me yourself! If this is Eggman, I'll hit your head so far down your spine that you really will BE a egg!" she scrambled to try and get a hold of it, but he kept flying back, shaking his arms in denial.
"I-I am Omochao! Omochao!"
She finally got a hold of him, "Ha!" she summoned her hammer, but before anything could happen, the little light flickered to red again, showing auto-pilot mode, as Omochao stopped struggling so life-like, and suddenly blinked his eyes and changed his focal point. "Huh?" Omochao looked at Amy's two hands, then up at her.
"To firmly hold something, squeeze tightly and add added pressure around it."
"Huh?" Amy blinked, seeing him go back to normal. "Oh!" she flung him away, having him spiral off and cry out in a dizzy 'aha-ah-aha-aha!' as he circled off through the air.
"…Who was that?" Amy folded her arms, pouting.
She then screamed out, putting her whole body into it. "If you want to know, just ask me face to face! Geez…" she shook her head. "It's like they didn't want me to know."

Sitting under a tree, a white glove turned off his wrist-communicator, the signal gone, and sighed, looking up at the stars above him.
"Oh Amy… If I knew I caused you this much trouble, I wouldn't have acted the way I have."
I'll make up for it.
Someday.
Give me some time.
