Chapter 3: Encounter

The echoes of the house were nowhere to be found. Inside the house there was nobody, no sound, no living thing, it was practically abandoned. It was morning on that Saturday and the clouds wouldn't let the sun shine. It was a dull morning and then out of the sudden a phone rang, sending noise through the household.

Amy came out from the restroom and rushed to her room. The ringtone from her phone was a music tone jingle and could be heard anywhere, even from outside the house since the neighborhood was so quiet today. Amy jumped onto her bed and grabbed her cellphone tucking it to her ear and answering.

"Hello?"

"Amy! It's me Sally."

Amy rolled over on her back and stared up at the ceiling. "Oh hey, it's rare you'd be awake early in the morning." Amy said, indifferently.

"Are you okay? You sound tired or like frustrated." Sally asked worried a little.

"Don't mind my tiredness after having double shift." She groaned. "Anyway what's with the call?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang over."

"Can't. I have other stuff to do. Sorry, but hopefully tomorrow." Amy said.

The other line was quiet but then Sally replied unruffled, "Okay. Call me if anything's wrong ok?" she made sure her voice extended so she'd understand she was being serious.

Amy laughed, "No worries. You'll be the first I'd call."

"Okay, bye,"

"Bye," And she hanged up, pressing a red button on her phone. She grunted letting her hand drop, lying sprawled on her bed. She couldn't really think. All night she had thought about what he had told her. 'Ok, I'll leave you alone, but for now.'

Those words were constantly repeating in her head for the past twenty-four hours. All last night those words were hunting her as she worked. She arrived back late around one in the morning exhausted, but she received a lot of money and that's all she had to know. She got up from her bed and walked out her room without a second thought. She got her large white coat from a hanger outside her room and wore it on top of her blouse.

She got out of her house and locked the door. She walked down the steps and walked down the driveway into the sidewalk. Each house she passed she passed without looking. Amy looked up at the sky and began to think about her friend Cream. She crossed the street to get to the other side of the opposite road from her house.

Her plans were simple. She had already arranged to hang around with Cream today at her house. She didn't live too far away from her house and so she could just walk without a problem. Cream was a close friend to Amy. A longtime friend of hers that she keeps close to her heart, but lately things were a little rough on her part. Ever since Cream got a boyfriend things changed. She didn't but things around her and all of Amy's were in a different atmosphere. Amy still kept her contact with her but as for the rest…they began to hate on her, not like her and ignore her, kicking her out from the group. That grew tough on Cream. Even though lying to her friend was tougher, one lie wouldn't hurt their friendship. It was for Cream and she was still her friend.

She reached Cream's house in no time, now standing in front of a dark brown house. It was small and simple. It was a new designing house and had nature all over it. Amy opened the gate and entered the front yard. The grass was green and fresh and flowers bloomed everywhere around her. The little insects weren't around but she liked it better that way. She walked up to the wooden door that had glass designing and was shaped as ovals or circles. She pushed on the door bell and stood there. Meanwhile she looked around at her surroundings taking in the wonderful beauty of life. She gave a light smile and then her ears heard the door opening.

"Amy," Cream was there in a cute summer dress, and flip-flops.

"Cream," Amy hugged her friend. "You look so pretty today." She complimented making her friend lightly blush.

"Aw, do I really?" Cream asked looking down at herself and feeling a little embarrassed being mentioned how pretty she looked when she didn't even try to look nice.

"You kidding? You always look so nice." Amy cheerfully told her.

Cream giggled and someone peeked in from behind her. A taller rabbit with a beige color and fluffy brown hair on the top of her head with two floppy ears to the side smiled at Amy and cream opened the door wider. Cream's mother opened up her arms. "Amy, how unexpected to see you here so early." She said.

"I just thought I could spend my day with Cream from the beginning." Amy said, giving a weird smile, but was fighting up a strong smile.

"How nice of you. Oh, please come in." Cream's mother moved to the side and Amy entered inside. Their living room was clean and all was organized. Her couches were light beige and were fuzzy. The lamps above her were made out of crystals and shine sending strong bright light. Her house from the outside looked like any regular house around the neighborhood, but once inside it was like a luxury.

"I'll be making breakfast in a few. Make yourself at home." She said, and the young rabbit went down to the kitchen. Cream laughed and wrapped her arm around her friends. "Let's go to my room. I have a whole lot to talk to you about." Cream happily announced to her.

Amy laughed as well and nodded, "So do I and you won't believe what happened to me yesterday,"

Cream and Amy went up her staircase to the second floor of the house. Hearing their voices from the kitchen made Cream's mother giggle with happiness.

The orange fox was down at his workshop, hammering down metal to wood. The sound of wood and metal contacting didn't really bother Sonic, who was resting on a wooden counter at the end of the workshop, but it disturbed him at the moment. He was using a large tablet for playing video games as his friend worked.

"Hey Tails," Sonic plainly calmed not taking his eyes off the tablet.

Tails stopped hammering and turned around taking his lap goggles. "Yea,"

"Can I ask you something about a girl?" he asked him.

Tails blushed immediately and weirdly looked away putting his goggles back on and hammering. "I don't understand," he said, his voice uneven and his eyes looking around nervously.

Sonic's head jerked to him and he had his eyes raised up with great interest. "Do you know something about this chick name Amy?" he asked.

Tails stopped completely and turned around. "Amy?" he parroted. He rubbed his chin and looked up to nowhere. "That name sounds familiar."
Sonic leaned forward and looked somewhat hopeful. "You know her?"

"I don't, but I've heard that name through Cream." He recalled and turned back to hammering. "Why ask though?"

"I was just asking," he mumbled looking back at the tablet.

Tails placed the hammer down and turned around walking to Sonic. "Asking? It sounds more like if you were interested in her. Do you know her?" Tails asked, passing by Sonic to a little fridge and opened it to see a bunch of water bottles in there.

Sonic placed the tablet besides him and crossed his arms. "I met her." He simply claimed pouting his lips. Remembering back to the way he met her annoyed him. She acted as if already she hated him. He had little hope that she didn't know, but the way she treated him already was bad. Did he do something bad to her before or to her friends? Usually that was the case, but he had memory of no such thing. "Call her,"

Tails chocked on the water he was drinking, and bend down to wipe his lips with his arm. "Who Amy? I don't even know her!" his voice rose in defense.

"No, Cream. You said she knew something about that name. Call Cream." He ordered, standing up and digging his hand in his sweater's pocket.

"Cream said she'd be busy today. I can't just bother her." Tails said, crossing his arms with the water bottle still in his hand.

"So what?" he replied.

"So, I don't plan to bother her."

Sonic search through the contacts of his phone his eyes consternated on the letter that started with a 'C' and ended with the 'M'. While Tails were busy putting the water bottle away he failed to notice Sonic was way ahead of his thoughts already tracking down his girlfriend's number. Sonic lifted up the phone to his hear and went to sit down on the couch. Tails tensed up once he heard Sonic speak. "Hello? Cream?"

.:XxX:.

Cream blinked confusion filling her face. She turned to Amy who was staring back at her from the bed. She turned away and closed her eyes shut. "Yes that's me,"

"Hey Cream it's been long hasn't it?"

"We saw each other just like over a week ago," Cream claimed wondering why he said that. "What happen? Why did you call?" she asked without annoyance. In the backroom she heard someone complaining in a panicking way like a little mouse shrieking.

"Well, I have a question actually. Maybe you could help me with it?"

"Depends what it is," Cream said offering to help in a way.

"Great, so you'll help me. There's a girl I know and goes by the name of Amy,"

Cream went rigid and didn't dare turn to face her friend. She felt her own breath stuck between her throat and mouth and couldn't find any words to reply back with. Sonic knew Amy, but there could have been another Amy. There were so many girls in the world named by Amy, but then why did she have the feeling he was talking about Amy Rose. When Cream didn't reply Sonic added, "Do you know her?"

Cream found her voice and cleared her throat. "No, no I don't?" She lied to him her voice a bit shaky but she steadied it.

Amy got curious as to why she sounded anxious and she'd moved out from the bed and walked over to her side near the brown desk Cream was sitting on and leaned in closer, her eyes narrowed. Cream flinched to the side suddenly sensing her there. Her eyes widened and she moved back. "Who's that?" Amy mouthed in whispers.

Cream vaguely shrugged and showed a crooked smile at her. Amy tried grabbing the phone from her, but Cream jerked her hand back, not allowing her too. Amy sucked in air and tried once more, but Cream shaking her head at her moved away so she wouldn't be able to grab it. From the other line, Sonic heard muffling and muttering and got a little concern. 'Cream? Are you still there,'

That voice made Amy froze. She backed away from Cream, but without even her intention she snatched the phone from Cream. She couldn't understand why she was grew scared, but she knew that it was driving her nuts and she knew why. She found out who the person on the other line was and she hung up and threw the phone to the bed.

.:XxX:.

"Hello?" Sonic said, but there was no answer. "Hello? Hello Cream?" Sonic began to question himself as he brought the cellphone out and back into his ear. The line had been cut off because of the sudden 'beep' that busted his ear drums. Sonic winced and clicked the off button.

"What happen?" Tails asked, putting up a puzzled face.

Sonic rushed to the workshop's doorway, grabbing the keys from a little hanger on the wall. "Something's wrong. Cream was cut off the line and wasn't replying." His voice sounded urgent causing Tails to think for the worst. He staggered forward and blinked repeatedly. "What do you mean?" Tails inquired fear flowing down his tongue as he spoke. Sonic exhaled air and turned to Tails. "Cream was cut off."

...

Cream was panicking. She couldn't stop pacing back and forth while Amy was standing there a large frown upon her face and her arms crossed. It wasn't too long ago when Amy hanged up on Sonic and now she was wondering if Tails was going to overreact or think that maybe she was hurt or something happened. Knowing her boyfriend he would always head to conclusions before thinking things over. He'd take action upon himself.

"It was him." She stated. "The insignificant boy that Sally and the girls hate! Why are you talking to him!?"

Cream knew she was keeping herself from shouting but it was becoming hard for her. Cream halted and turned to her. "Sonic is my boyfriend's best friend. He happens to also be my friend." She admitted, sounding for pathetic.

Amy groaned, "I mean, I could understand that fox but Sonic?! What about the rest? Are you friends with all of them too?" She could hear her own bittery tone increase and her control over it was slipping away. She was mad, no, she was infuriated.

"Why are you so angry? You said you were fine with being my friend even though I was friends with them and you knew so," she protested, her voice as kind and soft as ever.

Amy winced back with irritation and then spun around. "But, that, useless hedgehog, why would you speak to him?" she hissed. She walked to the bed and plopped herself feeling weak.

Cream didn't want to mention that he had asked of her because then there would have been her freaking out and then more questioning and it would have been a big mess. She was already looked despair she didn't want to make her feel even worst. When she sat next to her she wondered how Sonic and Amy got to know each other, but she stayed quiet. "Amy, listen to me. Tails was just wondering about something involving me. You don't have to worry about it." She soothed her friend and sat next to her. She made a happy smile and Amy nodded hoping she could calm down. She wasn't mad at Cream but at Sonic. She didn't like him already revolving around her mind with those words he told her. "I'm sorry Cream," she began sighing, "I was just worried because—"

She never got to finish what she wanted to say. She heard urgent voices coming from outside and they were getting louder and louder. Cream and Amy were in confusion until the door to the room burst open and in entered the one mobian she wanted to see last. A pair of green orbs made contact with her jade eyes first. His gaze shocked her completely. Then she turned seeing a two-tailed fox. His eyes searched desperately for Cream and when he found her sitting next to Amy he rushed towards her.

"Cream!"

He approached her and his hands touched her cheeks caressing them lightly. "Are you okay?"

Cream nervously chuckled holding on to his arms. "Yea, Why wouldn't I be, I mean, I'm at my house." He pointed out a little flatly.

Cream's mother pushed in her way into the room and gasped. "Cream what happened?" she asked her face paled. "They came running in here like a tornado. Is everything alright?"

Cream stood up and shook her head. "No, mother, I'm fine." She assured her shaking her hands. She turned to Amy who had her eyes fixed on the ground. She was glaring down avoiding everyone's gaze. Cream reached to grab Amy's hand and lifting her up. "We were talking on the phone and Amy and accidently tripped making me accidently…" she paused and turned to Amy. "Hang up," her voice rose high in hope that they'd believe her. Everyone looked as if they did believe her but Amy. Amy didn't like when Cream lied. She was a horrible liar and didn't have a clue on how to act when she needed to lie. She was happy that she lied this time for necessary reasons and purposes, but she shook her head burying her face in her hands. Sonic chuckled to himself and then she was gazing up at him if not in an angry way, but cautiously watching him. Sonic couldn't help but smirk at her from above.

.:XxX:.

Amy sighed exhaustedly and pouted skyward hearing the laughter and talks of Cream and her friends. They walked down the calm streets that cloudy afternoon. Being inside the house with her boyfriend wasn't permitted by her mother so, they all decided that heading out to dinner would have been a better idea. Amy stayed quiet hearing the conversation from afar. She didn't know Sonic and Tails therefore she had no business talking to them besides, she thought, these boys were a huge threat to any girl. Remembering this made Amy feel uneasy for being with them in the first place. There steps were jolly compare to hers which were quiet and soft. She trailed along behind the three of them and followed grudgingly barely dragging her feet.

Sonic looked over his shoulder and saw that she acted without energy towards this. He stopped walking and allowed Tails and Cream to go ahead of him. He waited until Amy reached his side.

"You don't look too happy? You okay?" He asked in a low voice, almost soothing.

Amy jerked her head to glower at him. "Don't talk to me," she vitriolic said. Sonic started to walk again at her pace. He dug his hands inside his sweater and chortled. "Why are you so rude?"

"Why are you so annoying?" she said with not much of a questioning tone. She was lacking her tone.

"I don't know, Amy. There's something about you that intrigued me. I can't help but be annoying." He said slyly.

Amy clenched her teeth and moved a bit away from him. "Guys like you disgust me," she snarled not looking at him but to the side. "Go bother some other girl, but don't even try anything with me," She turned back to look at his sly smile. "I know who you are and what you do to girls. Don't think I'll fall for any of it."

Sonic raised his head up high and a sly smirk formed on his lips. "You aren't much of a pleaser, but you have such an innocent face—"

Amy growled and her hand extended out from her side getting ready for a fighting position, but a voice stopped her. "Amy!" She turned around and saw Cream running to her. She grabbed her hand and lowered it. Sonic also calmed down the position he had come to "She hasn't done anything to you. Stop taunting her Sonic." she scold him. She pushed Amy away from Sonic's side and in front where Tails was. Tails caught Sonic's eyes but turned around not saying anything.

Sonic chuckled and bite his lip. "But that's the best part," he mused, following after Cream.

HAHAHA! I'm loving how Amy doesn't like him at all xD Best feeling ever huh? Hopefully you all liked this and review and tell me what you think please, thank you and
