Chapter 2
Amy woke up at noon to the smell of breakfast. She jumped out of bed had a shower and put her bathrobe on. Sonic cooking? That's definitely a first. She decided to surprise him in the kitchen by putting her hands over his eyes.
"Ha!" she said gleefully. "Caught you!" she said almost startling Sonic enough to drop his spatula.
"Gah! Morning Amy." he said smiling at her. "Hey, you're not supposed to be up yet." he said winking at her.
"Hey, I'm supposed to be serving you, Mr. My-birthday-was yesterday-so-I-shouldn't-be-cooking." She said skeptically. "What's the special occasion?"
"Can't a hedgehog make breakfast for his girlfriend anymore?" he asked innocently.
"Ok... but.." she said and sniffed the air. "But... it's burning." she said and giggled as smoke started rising from the pan.
"Ahh!!" he yelped and quickly grabbed it off the burner. "Hungry?" he asked holding the smoldering pan that used to be eggs up.
Amy blinked and bust out laughing. "The.. Pan... it's ha ha! Burnt!" she said between fits of laughter.
Sonic grinned and began to laugh as well. "Heh! I guess I'll leave the cooking to you then." he said putting an arm around her.
Amy nodded. "I agree, hand me that carton of eggs. Later, I'm gonna visit Skye." Skye was Amy's Hero/Flying chao who usually hung out in chao world awaiting visits from Amy.
"Kay," was Sonic's reply. "I might come in and visit my chao too." Sonic had raised his chao he called 'Dude' to look like him. Complete with blue spikes similar to his.
*~*~*~*~*
Amy walked into chao world and whistled. As if right on cue Skye made a happy noise and ran towards her with a big smile.
"Hey, Skye." she said and patted her. "Brought you something." she said and placed a square fruit down.
Skye looked up as if to say 'thanks!' and began to hungrily eat it.
"Do you think he'll ask me Skye?" she asked the small creature.
Finished eating the pink and white chao looked at her quizzically.
"You're right, he probably will. But.. I'm so curious." she said admittedly.
Just then Sonic's chao Dude had began to sprout flowers in a circle around him. Skye walked over and began to rub her nose against his.
Amy smiled as the two chao made an egg. Then it hit her, what if.. She... no way they used... She sighed. She knew this was going to bother her forever if she didn't do something about it. She decided to go see her most trusted friend.
*~*~*~*~*
"You think you're what?!" gasped Rouge after Amy whispered it in her ear.. "That's.. Kinda funny."
"What is?" asked Knuckles.
"Nothing! Girl stuff. Leaving." said Rouge and grabbed Amy's hand and pulled her into the bedroom.
Knuckles just shrugged and went out for a walk. 'Girl stuff' meant stuff he didn't wanna know.
"You're lucky I still have this pregnancy test lying around. But you know there is a walk-in clinic you could go to. They don't record anything." said Rouge handing Amy a small box that read 'Clear-Answer'.
"Because... oh it doesn't matter. Here." she said and grabbed the box and went into Rouge's bathroom.
A few minutes later Amy emerged with a relived look upon her face. "It said negative. I hope it's right." she said quietly.
"Hm, it said negative for me too but I think it may be right." said Rouge causing Amy to give her a weird look. "Ok, if it's still bothering you, go to the clinic."
"Alright, thanks Rouge. I'll see you later." said Amy and went to take the train back to Station Square.
Just as she got there, something weird was happening. everything was frozen in time. "What the..." she walked up and poked the person closest to her. "Excuse me?" but he remained motionless.
It was rather strange seeing everything suspended in animation. As she was walking she saw people who had been talking or eating or washing their cars. Even the water was frozen. "Am I going insane?" she wondered and then thought of something. "What if.. Sonic?!" she ran back to his apartment. "Sonic?! Sonic! Where are you?!" she called checking in all the rooms.
She was almost in tears when she heard someone whisper. "Psst! Over here!" it was Sonic who poked his head into the room.
"You're ok!" she cried and ran to help him onto the bed. "But.. You're hurt! What the hell happened?" she asked brooding over him like a mother hen.
"Something came..." said Sonic wincing in pain as she returned with some bandages and attempted to clean his wounds.
"Did you see it?" she asked.
"Yeah, it looked like one of Eggman's drones. It had a beam which froze everything." he said and added a few "ows!" as she mopped the cuts with disinfectant.
"So why didn't it get you?" she asked and was thankful it didn't.
"I.. Don't know." he said truthfully. "The beam covered everything but it didn't affect me or Tails."
"Is he alright?" asked Amy and placed her hand over her mouth in horror.
"Yeah, he's fine. He didn't try and fight it." said Sonic with snort.
"Was it really that strong?" she asked. It wasn't like him to get hurt like this...
"When it realized I wasn't frozen it tried to shoot me with a laser. I didnt think it would hit me but I got careless..." he said shamefully hanging his head. "But if it returns... I'll be ready for it!" he tried to stand up but the pain brought him back down again.
"Well I know one thing, and it's you're not going anywhere until you're healed." said Amy firmly. "We'll solve this thing one step at a time."
Sonic was about to protest but kept his mouth shut. "Ok..." then in his mind he added. 'For now.'
Just then, they both heard a knock on the door. Amy got up to answer it and found Tails, Rouge, and Knuckles there.
"Oh! Thank god you're all ok!" she said and gratefully let them in.
"Yeah we came when Knuckles brought back a frozen squirrel." said Rouge. "And not only that it disappeared." she added.
Another jolt of fear ran through Amy. What if they began to disappear too? "I hope we stay in the same place..."
"We weren't frozen so I think we'll be ok... but we need to get to the bottom of this!" said Tails. "Cream and Cheese were frozen!" he said angrily.
"Tails, calm down." said Sonic emerging from the room. "We can't do anything until I'm better. Right Amy?"
"Right," she said. "Unless..." she said obviously thinking of something. "Tails and Knuckles were to go."
"What about you?" they both asked.
"I need to stay here and take care of Sonic." she protested. "You just need to see if he's behind this."
"And I can't go?" asked Rouge. She knew why but decided to ask anyway.
"Absolutely not." said Knuckles. "I guess we'll go, up for it Tails?" he asked.
"Of course. I'll get the Tornado. We'll fly there." he said and quickly left. And jumped out the window.
Not much later everyone heard the buzzing of the plane as it appeared outside the window.
"Come on!" he said implying that Knuckles jump in.
He gave Rouge a quick kiss and jumped in behind Tails. "Later." he said and the plane flew away.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Rouge yelled.
Now the three knew all they could do now was wait...
A/N How was chapter 2? Weird yet? ^-^ I think so. Please review!
