I'm so happy! Last year, I sent some fanart to Sega, but I thought they'd forgotten about it. But today I got a letter in the mail from them, thanking me for it! Woohoo! To celebrate, here's chapter 2!
Black. Everything was black when Amy awoke. There was seemingly nothing around her, just vast, empty space.
"Where am I?" Amy asked herself, relieved that she could move. "Sonic? Sonic, where are you?"
"Amy! Is that you?" It was definetly Sonic's voice, but it seemed to come from everywhere.
"Yes Sonic! Where are you?" Amy looked around, hoping to see Sonic somewhere in the darkness beside her.
"Here," Sonic said simply.
"Where is here?" Amy asked, still unable to see the blue hedgehog. "Sonic, I'm scared. I don't know what's going on."
"Hold on a sec Amy, I'll be with you in a minute." In a matter of seconds, the blackness began to disappear. Amy looked around, finding that she was suddenly standing in the middle of a vast field that seemed to go on forever. She looked over to see Sonic, waving at her.
"Sonic!" Amy cried, running over to embrace him in a hug. Before he could run away, she grabbed for him. But instead of coming into contact with him, she went right through Sonic, tripping and falling onto the grass.
"Sorry about that," Sonic said. "Are you okay Amy?" Amy just stared at him.
"I...went through you," Amy said, her voice increasing in volume as she began to freak out. "Sonic, what's going on? Am I...dead?"
"No, not exactly," Sonic said. "It's rather complicated to explain, but..."
"Just tell me," Amy said, getting up. "If I'm a ghost, or a spirit, or some other freaky thing, I want to know now."
"Don't worry, you're none of those," Sonic replied, laughing. "Er, well, you sorta' ended up...in my head." Amy gazed at him quizzitively.
"In your...head?" Amy said after a while. "Like, a figment of your imagination?"
"More than that," Sonic said, rubbing the back of his head in agitation. "Well, hmm...how to explain it. Okay, you know how I was gaining all that energy from the emeralds, right?"
"Yeah, you were Super Sonic," Amy said. Sonic groaned.
"Please don't say Super Sonic, all right?" Sonic said. "I'll explain why not later, but yeah. I was gaining too much energy from the chaos emeralds."
"What does that have to do with this?" Amy asked, confused by Sonic's behavior.
"Well," Sonic said, "Do you remember what I said before you blacked out?"
"Chaos Encase," Amy replied. "What is that?"
"A bit of Chaos Magic," Sonic said, "Like Chaos Control and the stuff Shadow does. Chaos Encase is a spell I accidentally did before."
"And it put me...inside you?" Amy asked. Sonic nodded.
"Now you get it," Sonic said. "From what I've heard, it's meant to encase a person in an object the caster specifies. You ended up in me, since that was the only thing I can think of." Amy seemed to muse over this for a bit.
"So that means..." Amy looked up at him. "I'll literally be with you all the time!"
"Yes...it does..." Sonic muttered. "Anyway, I'd explain a bit more, but the others are coming, and it's going to be hard enough trying to get away from them."
"Others? You mean Tails, Knuckles, and those guys?"
"Yeah, and I can't be with you while talking with them. Don't worry though, you won't be alone."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Can't say, gotta' go! Bye Amy!" The image of Sonic and the field began to fade, and Amy was once again alone.
"I wonder what Sonic meant by that," Amy wondered to herself. "Oh well, I'm sure I'll figure this out soon enough."
"Sonic! Are you alright?" Tails asked, running up to the blue hedgehog sprawled out on the ground.
"I'm okay," Sonic said, trying to get up. "I just got a major headache."
"Where's Amy?" Knuckles asked, followed by Shadow, Rouge, Ciel, Gemini, Cream, Eno, and Blaze.
"I dunno," Sonic said, trying to think of an excuse. "I think she disappeared along with the chaos emeralds."
"That would be the only logical explanation," Shadow answered. "I cannot sense her anywhere around here, but I have a feeling she's not dead."
"We have to find her right away!" Cream cried, her chao "chao"-ing in agreement. "Miss Amy could be in serious trouble!"
"I'm with Cream," Ciel said. "For all we know, Eggman could have gotten her!"
"I'm concerned for her too," Eno said calmly, "but she could be anywhere, and we have no way of telling where. It would be best to first see if we can track her at Tails' lab."
"No problem!" Tails said. "Come on everyone, we have no time to waste!"
"You guys can go look for Amy," Rouge said, "but Shadow and I are going after those emeralds. Anybody else coming?"
"We'll go," Knuckles said, Blaze nodding in agreement.
"I'll help, as long as that echidna doesn't get in the way," Gemini stated.
"Sonic, you should come with us," Tails said. "I know Amy would want you looking for her, and we need your speed for this mission!"
"Fine, I'll come," Sonic said, following the kitsune to the X-Tornado. But Sonic knew that they wouldn't be able to track her. And there was no way they would be able to get her out of his head...without some chaos emeralds, at least.
Next chapter, Amy ends up meeting her knew roommate! Anyways, review please!
