I am Sonic

DAY 2

Chapter 2: Helping Hands

The sun was rising through the trees. Amy yawned as she woke up with the sun in her eyes. She looked around and saw that she was in her bedroom.

"Now how'd I get here?" she asked herself. Amy stretched and got up. The crisp morning air permeated into her house. It was refreshing. She stretched out the sheets to even them out, despite the fact that she only slept on her bed. The morning was fresh but not cold. Amy changed into a new dress before leaving her bedroom.

She entered the kitchen and got the stove going. She set up some water to boil for tea. Since the water would take a few minutes anyway, Amy decided to go outside and see the sunrise. On the way to her door, the floor made a little creak in one spot. Upon walking outside, Amy found herself surprised at seeing Sonic there.

"Hey, Sonic," she said pleased. Sonic turned around towards Amy, also being pleased to see her. "I guess you brought me home last night, didn't you."

"Yeah, hope I didn't wake you while I was getting you home." Amy blushed at her incoming thought.

"I guess I just sleep better when you're with me." Sonic had to look away too from the innocent embarrassment. "Hey, uh, you wanna come in for some breakfast?" she said trying to change the subject.

"It's okay. I'm really not that hungry." Amy looked confused; it wasn't like Sonic not to have a huge appetite in the morning.

"Are you sure? You did come all the way here and this early." She said insisting.

"Well, I couldn't sleep so I stayed here; watching the stars and thinking about all the great times we've had together." Sonic moved closer to Amy wrapped his arms around her. "Meeting you was one of the best things that ever happened to me." Amy couldn't argue with that and the hug made her forget about asking why Sonic had insomnia the night before.

"I love you, Sonic," Amy said while holding onto her hero. Sonic pulled away from Amy, letting her go.

"Wait here for just two seconds." Amy couldn't even say a word as Sonic sped off like there was no tomorrow.

And just as Sonic said, a few seconds later he was right back in front of her. Amy looked in awe as Sonic presented her with a lovely white rose. Amy knew Sonic wasn't very good at expressing him feelings in words, but he always knew how to get his point across. Amy took the rose, her eyes shining with warmth.

"I'm going to see Tails today. He's building something new so I wanna go see what he's up to. I'll catch ya later."

"Okay, goodbye." Sonic waved as he started walking away before taking off at high speed.

Tails was just getting up. The sunrise was even better to look at when it was over the coast that his workshop overlooked. By the time Sonic had arrived, Tails had already picked up a wrench; there was nothing he loved more than tinkering with his inventions. Tails was inside his hangar just as Sonic walked through the front door.

"Hey, Tails! You here?"

"I'm in here!" Tails replied. Sonic finally met up with Tails in the hangar.

"Hey lil' bro. Whatcha workin on today?" Sonic said while admiring the machine fragments scattered throughout the floor.

"I've been working on a new prototype walker, but it's still isn't assembled yet." Sonic scratched his head. "Hey, could you help me pull that motor over here?" Tails indicated a rather large cylindrical device.

"Sure thing." Sonic went behind it and Tails went in front.

"It's a bit heavy so we'll take it slow. Ready...1...2...3." They both lifted the device simultaneously and began walking it to the over side of the hangar. "Hey, this is lighter than I thought." After a few more steps, "Okay, set it down here." Inadvertently, Sonic dropped the device. Tails almost didn't let go in time, nearly falling under its weight.

"Whoops, sorry there."

"Huh, what the...?" Tails grabbed the device and tried pulling it a bit farther. It wouldn't budge. "Hmmm." Tails couldn't help but wonder why it was so easy to get it there when it was that heavy. He dismissed the thought quickly as he wanted to get to work as soon as possible.

A few hours passed by. Sonic hung around and gave Tails a hand when he needed it. Tails was so focused on his invention that he was ignoring his grumbling stomach. By that time Sonic was also getting hungry.

"Hey Tails, why don't we take a lunch break?" Tails stopped to think on his tummy. Tails chuckled when realized just how hungry he was.

"Alright, I'll go make some sandwiches." Tails left the hangar to go to his tiny kitchen. Sonic went outside to take in some sunshine. While Tails was making two large hero subs, Sonic watched the clouds roll by. Tails took extra care in making sure Sonic's sub was extra stuffed.

Tails walked outside holding two giants subs, one in each hand. Sonic clenched his fingers from excitement.

"Here ya go, Sonic," said Tails while handing over the bigger of the two subs.

"Thanks, buddy." Sonic sunk his teeth into the sub, taking off a big chunk in one bite. Tails watched Sonic, noticing that he started eating slower. Sonic was barely half done with his sub when he threw in the towel. "Uh, guess I wasn't as hungry as I thought. Thanks for lunch anyways." Tails scratched his head in wonder. It wasn't like Sonic not to finish a meal.

"Well, um, okay then. I guess I'll save the rest for later."
