It was the day after Amy and Sonic's little chat. Amy slowly made her way to the kitchen trying to decide what she would have for breakfast. She decided on an English muffin with strawberry jam. As she was eating she noticed an electronic compass lying on the counter. Amy and Cream had borrowed it, just in case.
Amy jolted up onto her feet, "Oh my gosh, I promised I'd return it last night!" Amy quickly grabbed a small backpack throwing in the compass along with the bottle of pills and some various accessories. She ran out the door and then had to run back because she'd forgotten to shut the door.
She rang the doorbellbefore placing her hands on her knees, panting. She quickly stood up as the door opened. "Hey Amy," greeted Tails. The fox motioned for Amy to step inside so she did. "Hi Tails, I was just bringing back your compass. I'm sorry I didn't return it sooner." Tails made a downward motion with his palm, "Don't worry about it Amy." She smiled handing him the compass, "Thanks." Tails replied, "No problem."
Just then Sonic burst through the door accidentally knocking Amy over. "Sorry Ames," Sonic offered his hand, but Amy didn't take it. She was frantically trying to gather all of the things that had fallen out of her bag. Sonic tried to help her, but she shook her head, "I got it Sonic." Sonic didn't know what to do so he got up. Amy rose to her feet brushing herself off. "I'm sorry Ames," Sonic repeated. Amy replied, "Oh, that's okay." Again Sonic thought to himself, "It's okay?"
An awkward silence lingered in the room. Amy backed towards the door, "Well, I have to go now. See you guys later or something." She exited quietly as Sonic gazed at her with disbelief, "Amy, wait!" Again his feet did nothing.
As Sonic stood there with a mesmerized look he noticed something on the floor next to his foot. It must have been Amy's. He bent down to pick up what appeared to be a small bottle. "What's this?" Sonic examined the label which read Rose, Amy, take one pill as needed, leave six hour window between doses. Sonic didn't realize that this white label covered the real label which told what the medicine was actually for.
Sonic walked up to Tails who was finishing his Cheerios, "Hey Tails, check out what I found." Tails observed the bottle carefully. Sonic said, "I think it's Amy's. What do you think it's for?" Tails replied, "I'm not sure, but I have a friend that might." Medicine was not Tails' forte, but his good friend Kevin the Parrot knew a lot about different herbs and treatment methods.
Tails gulped down the milk remaining in his cereal bowl then headed towards the basement which actually led to the X-Tornado and the runway. Sonic hopped on top ofthe plane as Tails fastened his seatbelt (safety first!). The plane was soon in the air flying past all the fluffy clouds.
Kevin's eyes held a serious concentration as he studied the bottle. He twisted the cap and pulled it open, "I'd like to run a few tests on this pill. While I do that you two can make yourselves at home," the parrot gestured toward the living room. The parrot went upstairs, Sonic and Tails plopped down on the chocolate brown sofa. Tails lifted the remote lying on the arm of the couch and pushed the on button. Tails kept flipping through channels though Kevin seemed to not have too many.
Sonic was not really paying attention to the television and only stared at it blankly. "What could be in that stuff? This just isn't Amy…she's scaring me."
