Now that the Friendship (Pillow Sniffers) was now rested, they started down the river in two boats. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in one and Espio, Charmy, Berry and Pepper in the other. Amy and her minions (so to speak) watched them set off. As Sonic's fell upon her he thought:

"I hope I never see her again for the rest of my life..." Sonic then remembered the gift she gave him. He took it out and admired it.

"Our brightest star..." Amy's voice was going through his mind. "A light when all other lights go out... And don't forget to recharge it everyday." The image of Amy giving him a glow-the-dark flashed through his mind.

"Sonic! What are you doing?!" Tails shouted. Sonic was leaning over the boat with his head in the water. Tails pulled him back into the boat. Sonic began coughing up water.

"Thanks Tails... I was running out of air..." Sonic said.

"What were you doing?" Tails asked.

"I can't get Amy's annoying voice out of my head. I was trying to drowned it out."

"I heard that!" Amy's voiced boomed through Sonic's mind.

"There is it again!" Sonic slammed his head underwater again. Tails sweatdropped.

Are these chapters getting shorter?
