Chapter 2 Take Me Away
"Miss Amy it's been a week, you should rest." Cream says as she rests her hands on her friend's shoulder.
"No. I have to keep looking for Sonic." Amy protests, "he could be hurt or something"
"Cool it, They'll be fine," Rouge sighs as she stands from the couch.
"Rouge is right!" Charmy pipes, "Espio would never get injured to badly. They'll still be alive when we find them!" Charmy gives Amy a thumbs up.
"Miss Amy please, rest.' Cream begs, "you're worring a bit too much"
"I'll say," Rouge grunts and folds her arms.
Amy sighs, defeated.
"but..." She tries to defend herself, she HAS to keep looking.
"Go to bed, Amy. It's late, I'll take it from here..." Rouge orders. Amy sighs again and heads for the stairs.
"Good, now," Rouge struts over to the front door.
"Where are you goind Miss Rouge?" Cream asks darting to follow her.
"out"
"But"
"YOu and Charmy head to bed too. I'll be back before the sun rises." With a swoosh of her wings Rouge dissapears into the night.
"It's gonna be just fine Cream. WE'll find them," Charmy hovers over Creams shoulder.
"Thank you, Charmy..." Cream sighs and heads up the stairs with Charmy following her. He looks back out the front door and flies upstairs.

Rouge stops infront of a local bar by the beach. She pushes the door open and walks right in, heading strait to the bar. Few drunk men turn to stare and whistle as she continues on. She takes a seat, and the bartender walks up to her.
"What would you like to drink little lady"
"peach martini, dry." Rouge says and waits for her drink. The bar tender returns to her.
"I'm looking for someone." She says with taht seductive stare of hers.
"for who"
"Confidential, but they were lost in that Tsunami a week ago"
"Good luck with that." The tender laughs.
"What do you mean?" Rouge takes a sip of her drink and leans forward.
"After a storm like that, people get lost. No one ever finds them." The tender smirks, "they come to us"
Rouge raises an eyebrow and changes her position for more comfort.
"You see there's this legend..." The bartender starts as he cleans a beer glass.
"legend? Do share"
"When a storm hits around this part of the sea, it opens a current that only the winds know"
"Hey! bartender! Get three beers over here!" Some druck shouts as he raises his empty glass. The man sighs and turns away from Rouge.
"hey! What about the legend?" Rouge exclaims, she frowns. The Bartender turns to her. Not tonight Batgirlie," he sighs, "my apologies, we have more drunks than usual." Rouge growls and smacks her cash onto the table and stomps out.
"The nerve..." Rouge sighs and stares up at the sky.
The moon shines higher than usual, large silver and grey like her heart. Grey like her heart. She stares into the black waters beneath the dock the bar was near by. Looking at herself moping around.
"Pathetic, all because he-they got swept away into the sea." A single tear drop into the waters. SHe growls at herself and stands up strait.
"WEll...better get back," Rouge sighs and flaps her wings.
---Change Scene---
Rouge strides into the quiet house three hours before dawn. She floats up the stairs and creaks Cream's and Charmys door open. Cream soundlessly sleeping comfortably in her bed and Charmy curled up in his pillow. "No! It's mine!" Charmy growls and grabs tightly onto his pillow and beings to wrestle it vigroissly. Rouge smiles and nods. Amy's door shut closed, with a "Do not disturb" sign on the knob. Rouge sighs, 'She must have been crying...'
Hovering back down the stairs she lands with a click on the kitchen tile floor. The sun creeping through the window of the room.
"well," she sighs as she ties on a white apron, "might as well make breakfast..."
Soon the the smell of fresh bacon and pancakes filled the house and creeps up the stairs to wake the two kids and the pink hedgehog.
Amy sighs as she opens her eyes, 'another beautiful day for a unhappy hedgehog...' she stretches and reluctantly gets out of bed. She opens the door to feel the warm fresh smell of breakfast sweep over her. SHe takes in a deep breath it was sort of comforting. Cream Opens then door to have Charmy buzz out as fast as he can to reach the table frist. Cream laughs and bows to Amy, "Good morning Miss Amy," and she heads down the stairs with Amy slowly following.
"Good morning children!" Rouge laughs,
"morning!" Charmy took no offence as he flops into his chair.
"Good morning Miss Rouge, you're in high spirits this morning," Cream smiles as she gracfully sits.
"Morning mother," AMy says dryly with much sarcasm, she flops into her chair and rests her head in her hands. Rouge took a good look at Amy. She had been crying, maybe for most of the night. Rouge sighs and serves everyone thier breakfast. Then taking her own seat she smiles at the group.
"okay you guys! This is my first time cooking so try some!" Rouge exclaims and waits.
The three stuffs thier face with one fork full of food.
Amy's eyes widen. Cream gracefully places down her fron onto her plate and Charmy's eyes dialate.
"How is it?" Rouge asks. Charmy falls smacks his face onto the table and quickly sprits up takeing his glass of milk and gulping it down like there was no tomorrow. Amy coughs out the food into a napkin as her face turns purple, and Cream chews slowly as she swallows and smiles uneasily.
"It can't be that be that bad!" Rouge protests and takes a bite out of her own pancake. Her face turns dreadfully purple and her lips perse together. "it is that bad..." she reluctantly swallows. Suddenly the table became quiet.
"It's really quiet with out SOnic yelling at Shadow..." Rouge sighs.
"And the bot trying to find a logical explination about the fryer..." Amy giggles.
"Yah, and Vector would usually count his money before breakfast then Espio would just get mad at him. Espio always gets mad at him." Charmy adds.
"And Tails, he'd be in the garage right now making some thing new," Cream sighs. Memories. That's all they were. Amy hiccups and tears began flowing down her face again.
"Oh Miss Amy," Cream sighs and rests a hand on her shoulder. Trying not to cry herself.
"He's dead!" She screams, "everyone in the city says that no one lives a tsunami like that! He's dead"
"Oh Amy don't say that," Rouge sighs, choking back tears. As much as she hated it, she misses them. Charmy sighs and sits quietly thinking of what was happening. Rouge runs over to Amy and holds her close to her. Amy cries into Rouge's shoulder as Rouge herself weeps. Cream silently snuffling to herself as Charmy pats her on the back. Charmy holds in all his tears, he must be strong for his caretakers.
"That's enough," Rouge sits strait, and gently push Amy off of her and wipes the last of her tears away. Amy hiccups as cream sobs silently.
"Let's get out of this place and... Oh i don't know," Rouge sighs and slumps back into her chair.
"Let's get away from here, far away." Amy sighs, "they're dead. They're is nothing left." Charmy and Cream exchange glances and decide not to say anything.
"You're right," Rouge stands, "Tomorrow, we leave...pack your bags"
"to where? How?" Cream asks as Rouge and AMy leave to go up to thier rooms.
"Anywhere...with Tails's jet." Rouge answers, and they disspear up the stairs.
Creams and Charmy sigh and head upstairs, not ready to be left behind.
---Change Scene---
"Charmy you don't think Mr. SOnic and everyone is dead do you?" Cream asks as she folds her clothes into a small luggage.
"no," Charmy says as he bounces up and down on his backpack trying to fit everything back into it.
"Me neither. I just don't think it's right to leave," Creams sighs and neatly fixes her luggage, "at least not yet. Not till we're sure they're dead"
"We should run away!" Charmy exclaims as he bounces off his backpack spilling everything on the floor and landing in Creams luggage. Cream laughs.
"Run away? Why? What would we do"
"We'd go find Vector and Espio and Shadow and Sonic and Knuckles and Tails!" Charmy breaths quickly.
"how? we have no clues!" Cream picks up Charmys things and repacks them.
"Oh...right..." Charmy sighs and flops on Creams dresses and thinks, "I know! We'll make Rouge and Amy come with us!" Cream looks up at him questioningly. Charmy hovers up and presses his forehead against hers.
"We'll take them all around the coast, and find clues on our own! That way we're not really alone!" Charmy laughs.
"YOu're such a Genius!" Cream exclaims and hugs him.
---Change Scene---
Amy hears Cream and Charmy laugh and giggle in the other room. 'Lucky, they don't know what it is to feel the lost of a loved one...' She sighs as she packs away her clothes. SHe looks over at a picture frame with sonic running and her chasing after him. Cream had taken that picture a while back. Amy sighs and swips the picture off the desk and throws in into her luggage.
'i shouldn't worry, no. I shouldn't care. He never loved me back anyway!' she growls, and closes the bag and sits on it.
"I got to stop thinking of you," She says to the ceiling, "It won't change...how you feel about me because you're gone..."
