Amy's Plan

[MARIA] Ai subeki hito ga ite

KIZU wo otta subete no monodachi...
[Maria] There is someone I should love;

every person who has ever been hurt...

"Shadow, was this really what you wanted?" Sonic looked down at the floor speaking to no one in particular. // It's really depressing to see Sonic act like this. // Amy thought to herself. // Shadow has to be alive; there's no way a hedgehog like that can die so easily! Sonic'll never be the same.// She shed a silent tear fall in memory of Shadow.

Amy didn't realize that Tails was tugging at dress asking for attention. He looked up at her with his big blue eyes and asked innocently, "Amy do you think Sonic will get over this soon?" She looked down at him and paused. "I don't know Tails, I just don't know." Her eyes swelled up with tears; knowingly, lovingly, and pleadingly hoping that somehow, someway Shadow would still be alive. If not for hers, then for Sonic's sake.

Three hours later back on Mobius.

After getting pounded on by the welcoming crowd and the endless celebrating, the grateful yet tired heroes decided that it was time to head back home. "Sonic! Where are you?!" Tails flew above the endless crowd and spotted Amy and the rest of the gang with the exception of Sonic.

"Hey Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, up here!" He called out to them but only grim faces stared back. Tails backed off a bit, reluctant to even speak. "What's wrong.?" Everyone hesitated, then Rouge spoke up. "It's Sonic, he's been so upset about Shadow that he drunk himself sick and if that wasn't bad enough we can't even find that idiot-hedgy anywhere." They all bowed they're heads in shame. Amy looked up at the sky; it was night now and they've been at the welcoming party for at least four hours. // It's time to make a plan.// "Everyone listen up!" They all looked at her oddly. "Sonic helped us in our times of need and did he complain, no! What have we ever done for him? Nothing! At least not yet." Was this really Amy that was talking? For being pink and annoying, she has her ways of getting everyone's attention. "I guess you got all this from hanging around with Sonic eh, Amy?" She blushed at Tails's comment. // Guess I do, don't I.// she quickly came back to realty before anyone would notice.

"You'll all help me out won't you?" She was putting on a face that no one could resist. "I'll help you out." A voice echoed out from the almost endless crowd. Amy looked back but found no one. "Did any of you hear that?" They all looked completely dumbfounded. "Guess it was just me then.never mind." // I could of sworn I heard someone just now.// "What's the plan Ames?" She thought about this for a moment. "Knuckles, what would Sonic do?"
