Part 1: Sonic and Amy

"Why should we?" Asked Rouge. "Is there any reward involved? Because I'm not doing it unless there's a reward involved."

"You're doing it because I told you to." Replied Chaos, with his eyes narrowed.

"And if I refuse? Because this work is just dumb. I'm not going to do something I don't want-"

Chaos extended his arm around his back and revealed four chaos emeralds. Then with the other hand, he extended his arm at Rouge and picked her up by the head. "Do you know what these are, bat girl?"

"Um, those are-"

"Chaos emeralds..." he said. "I might not have all seven, but even with four of them..." He let go of Rouge.

"So what do you want us to do?" asked Cream, sitting quietly.

"I've divided you into six groups..."

".....wait, there's six of us here!" said Tails.

"Oh, did I say six? I meant 3. Stupid author typos..."

Everyone gave a blank expression at Chaos.

"ANYWAY, I have divided you into three groups. The first group will be the blue group. This group has an underwater assignment located in the bottom of Station Square Bay. There is an undersea treasure filled with riches unimaginable. That first team is..."

Everyone leaned in, curiously.

"Sonic... and-"

Sonic budged forward. "Okay, I'll be fine with anyone, as long as it is anyone but-"

Chaos narrowed his eyes. "Amy Rose..."

Amy jumped up and down. Sonic slapped his head. "Did you hear that, Sonic?" Amy asked, while embracing her blue idol. "We actually get to be paired together! Isn't it great, Sonic?"

Sonic looked at everyone else. Snickers and smiles spread the room. Sonic groaned.

"Um, I really hate to break this up, but..."

Everyone turned toward the almost-forgotten Chaos. He pulled out a metallic, oval-shaped object with a red button on it and tossed it to Sonic. "This is your transporter. You are expected to retrieve the sunken treasure by nine o' clock exactly. That's when the red button will flash. Press that button to be transported back here." He glared at him. "That's all you need. Any last words- err, questions?"

"Well, um..." Sonic stammered. "I...can't swim..."

"Hmm, then that's your own problem. Now be gone!!!"

And with that, Chaos swung his arm, making a bright flash fill the room. When the light cleared, Sonic and Amy were gone.

[8:04 A.M, Sonic's house]

Sonic got out of bed and yawned. "Oh... what happened.....? Wait. The dream... was that.......real?" He turned towards Tails' bed. "Tails? You there?" There was no one in his bed. "Meh, must've been a dream. I'm sure Tails is just getting some more food at the st-"

A knock on the door interrupted the rest of his thoughts. He got out of bed, put his shoes on, and opened the door.

"Gooooood morning, Sonikku! Ready to go scuba diving?"

Amy was standing at the door with a picnic basket, goggles, and a large grin.

Sonic sighed. "Guess it was real, huh?"

"Yup! It's going to be fun, isn't it?"

Sonic wanted to say something like "No, it won't be fun because Chaos knows I can't swim, so he's making me go in water just so I can drown in the process of getting the treasure and he paired me up with you just to torture me..." but all he said was "Sure."

"Great! So let's get going!"

"Going? Going where?"

"To the bay, silly! That's where it is!"

Sonic wanted to say more, but before he could, Amy grabbed his wrist and brought him to the bay.

[11:32 Station Square Bay: beach]

"Umm, Amy?" stammered Sonic "Do you know how to... swim?"

"No, but we'll learn how soon enough!" replied Amy. "But don't worry 'bout that now. Let's eat lunch!"

She pulled the picnic basket from behind her back (a trick that most video game characters do) and opened it up. She pulled out a sandwich that had way too much jelly in it. Actually, the jelly was... glowing?

"Amy, please tell me this isn't yet another attempt for sneaking in love potions into the food I eat." Said Sonic.

"Um... Don't be silly, Sonic!" replied Amy. "Now go ahead and eat up! You need your energy if we want to find that treasure!"

Sonic looked at his sandwich. "Um... I think I'll just eat some carrot sticks instead..."

[Later, on a small island in Station Square bay]

After their lunch together, Sonic and Amy took a sailboat rental to an island in the bay. Sonic put on his goggles. "I'll go down first, since..." he started

"Oh, Sonic! You value my safety enough to go first?" Amy asked, smiling.

"...Um, well, actually, I was going to check to see if the treasure was actually in here."

Amy's smile faded. "Oh..."

Sonic slowly got on his hands and knees and lowered his head into the water and looked around. There was no treasure here. He got out of the water. "No treasure." He said. "This was just some trick to get us to drown."

"What? There's got to be a treasure!" said Amy, disappointed.

Amy put on her goggles and slowly descended into the water. She lowered her head into the water and looked in every direction. Finally, she caught a glimpse of something shiny to the west.

She looked back up at Sonic and pointed west. "There! Over there!" she exclaimed. "I saw it! The treasure is over there!" She hoped up and down with excitement.

Sonic was taken back. "What?" He slowly got back in the water and looked underwater in that direction. He was surprised. There, in the west, the glowing light was flashing. He looked back above the water at Amy.

"I guess you're right, Amy." Said Sonic. "I guess there is treasure in this-"

Sonic fell forward. "Amy! Something's dragging me down!!" Sonic slowly slid down into the water. Amy grabbed hold of Sonic, but the wetness was too slippery, and forced Amy backwards. "Amy! Help me!!!" Sonic managed to say before sinking into the water.

Amy looked down into the water. "Sonic!!!!!" She nervously paced her steps. "What do I do? What do I do!?! My darling Sonic is about to drown! I can't go in there! I can't swim either! If I go after him, I'll drown, too! Why can't I be like my Sonic and risk my life? After all he has done..." She looked back into the water.

"After all he has done..... Okay, Sonic. I'll do it. I'll save you, Sonic. Like you've always done... for me..."

And with those words, she dived into the water to save Sonic.... for all that he has done...
