CHAPTER 5: Dream Tonight
Rouge landed on a medium sized motorboat. She set down Amy gently as they were both received with warm blankets. Amy nodded in thanks and took a seat as the boat revved up. Rouge stood next to her. The city lights, far off in the distance, seemed like a dim glow compared to the bright fog lights of Eggman's carrier.
"What's wrong honey? We got the Emerald." Amy had her head sunk holding on the Emerald in her hands. Seeing that Amy was getting sleepy, Rouge turned to the man navigating. "Hey, my friend over here's a bit tired. Can you get us back any faster?" The man gave a kind smile.
"Sure thing miss." He grabbed the throttle and sped up. Rouge returned to Amy. Rouge couldn't think of what had happened back on the ship. She sat next to Amy in hopes that she could find out something, but it was to no avail. Rouge tried speaking to her again, but she stopped before saying a word. Something happened, but she wasn't going to find out now. Best to give Amy a good night's rest first.
The boat arrived at the dock some time later. Rouge and Amy were lead off the boat. Just beyond the dock was a pair of policemen on motorcycles and a patrol car waiting for them. They were escorted past the wooden planks onto the road. The policemen said they were to bring them back to their point of departure unharmed. The girls got in the car and got comfy for the long ride.
Amy didn't say another word as the exhaustion of the long day started setting in. Rouge, on the other hand, preferred the nightlife. The streets were becoming more and more desolate as the night grew into the late hours past midnight. Poor Amy was dozing off time and again, unable to shake off the sorrowful fatigue she took on that night. Her eyes couldn't stay open for more than a few minutes at a time. She would try to shrug off the incessant drifts into sleep that crept up on her periodically. Finally she gave way and let herself go, falling fast into a much-needed rest. Rouge took notice as the Chaos Emerald fell out of Amy hand.
She was awoken by Rouge after a while.
"Come on, Amy. You can spend the night at my place." Amy, still half asleep, nodded in response. Rouge helped her up a few steps, past a door, into an elevator, and through one last door. They were in Rouge's apartment at last. "Just wait here for a sec." Amy paid no attention as her eyes spotted a comfy looking couch. She was quick to stagger over to it and get right back to sleeping. Rouge came back and found Amy had already chosen her bed for the night. She went back and brought Amy a blue blanket. She tucked Amy in for the night. Rouge left the apartment after a quick change. That night Amy dreamt.
Amy found herself over a great canyon. She saw Sonic not far away. He had his back to her. They got closer. She touched his shoulder. He turned to her. He stared at her with gleaming yellow eyes. He crossed his arms and turned away in cold reject. Something was behind her. Amy looked. Sonic stood right there, a smile on his face, gazing on her with warm blue eyes. That Sonic stepped up held her hands. She faded away and saw the two Sonics standing side by side. The Sonics looked at each other and began fighting with closed fists. She watched them beat each other over a roaring volcano. Grey smoke began to cloud her view. She watched from above as everything began to shake. She watched in horror as a giant flame engulfed them both; lava bursting into every direction. She fell to her knees at the foot of the volcano, but quickly felt the urge to look up. Sonic walked out of the flame. A red aura surrounded him. He kneeled in front of her. She looked into his beautiful green eyes. She was about to embrace him tightly, but something pulled her away. Something grabbed her, dragging her further and further away from Sonic till he was out of sight. It stopped. Amy turned to see what took her away from Sonic. She looked into a vast desert. Standing in the center was something she couldn't see. She got closer and it became clearer. It was herself. That Amy stood in tears, with piercing black eyes looking back at her. Once Amy got a good, terrifying look the second Amy vanished. The desert turned into fire. Amy desperately cried for help. She could see someone holding out a hand to her. She grabbed on tight, knowing whom it was before seeing him. The fire died out instantly. She found herself standing on water, a lovely sunrise in the distance. Sonic held her close in his arms. The sun got brighter and brighter.
Amy woke up with the sun shining through a window on her. As she arose from her sleep, the vivid dream of the night began to fade from memory, as most dreams do. She yawned and stretched, slowly getting up.
