-Chapter 3-
(The Picnic)

Amy stared out at the city below; it was pretty, in a way. It was certainly a lot prettier than some cities she'd come across before, which were more chaotic, trashed and vandalised. Everyone was proud of this city, so they kept it clean, and they almost never minded cleaning up after Eggman. Yep, she was lucky to get chaos controlled into Station Square. …

'Although…' she drifted deeper into her own thoughts as she stared out the window. Athough she loved living here, what with the malls and excitement of everyday life, it didn't come close to her favourite place. Her hometown.

" …Amy… Amy!"

Amy snapped back into reality as she heard Cream's voice in the seat in front of her. She looked up at her; she was sitting up in the chair looking down at Amy.

" Are you okay Amy? You look so sad…" Cream asked

Amy noticed that she had this sad sort of expression on her face

" Uh… Its nothing Cream, I was just daydreaming." She said and smiled

" Oh okay!" Cream's face brightened up and sat back down into her seat next to Shadow. Cream always liked spending as much time with shadow as possible, she was teaching him how to enjoy the little things in life and 'How to have fun'. Shadow didn't like to admit but he liked all the attention he was getting, and he always listened carefully to what she had to say, he really wanted to be a normal earthling, like Maria wanted.

" We're nearly there guys!" Tails said from the pilot seat still keeping his eyes on the skies (A/N Im sorry but that's just so corny X3), with Chris behind him as a co-pilot.

" I wonder where Tails is taking us now!" Sonic joked. He was sitting next to Amy with his hands behind his head looking more relaxed then he really was, he was in deep thought until Cream interrupted too, although Amy didn't see it. Rouge and Knuckles were behind her; those two were inseparable these days. You wouldn't see one without the other. She didn't think they were together, but she could see they wanted to be. 'These new double seats Tails installed are really convenient.' Amy thought as she examined the upgraded X Tornado.

" We're here! Guys look!" Chris said excitedly and everyone looked out the window. They were stunned; this place really was beautiful! The place was surrounded by trees and nature, a waterfall and lake and lots of space, right next to the ocean, and absolutely no people around! Oh wait scratch that, the Thorndykes have just arrived! They got out and saw the X Tornado and waved to them. The plane landed on a clear space and everyone got out.

Sonic whistled in astonishment " Wow Tails, looks like you were right! This place IS awesome!" He said and ruffled the bangs onTails's head, Tails giggled and smiled proudly. The rest went over to help the Thorndykes set up the picnic, except for Shadow who was over at the lake admiring the fishes and how clear and blue the lake was compared to most he'd seen on tv.

Amy walked over to the edge of the cliff (A/N Did I mention this was all close to a cliff?) and looked into the horizon with her arms crossed behind her back. She could see a few dolphins playfully jumping out of the water, almost as if they were saying hello. She smiled at the thought; it made her feel herself again. Sonic walked up to beside her and looked to where she was staring.

" Pretty huh?"

" Yeah. It is." She said without even looking at him. Things were quiet for a moment, except for the sounds of Knuckles cursing because he couldn't get the blanket to fold out right in the background. Then Sonic spoke

" C'mon, lets go help with lunch before Knuckles murders the rug." Sonic said sarcastically

Amy laughed; Sonic always had a way of cheering her up. Sonic smiled, he had that feeling again, and he just couldn't keep it from spreading across his face.

" You know… You're beautiful when you laugh." He couldn't control himself; he had to say it. Amy turned her head to meet his gaze; he was smiling at her eyes half open. They were staring at each other again, looking into each other's eyes. Only this time they were interrupted

" Hey love birds." Sonic and Amy looked to Shadow standing metres away

"You gonna help or what?" He said, Oblivious to what was really happening.

They looked at each other then Shadow

" Yeah we're coming…" Sonic said with a hint of 'go away and I shall spare you're life' in his voice.

Sonic walked over to the others to help Knuckles and pry him away from the evil rug, Amy hesitated for a moment, watching Sonic, then she followed

" Alright Knuckles, give it mercy!"


" YAHOO!" Yelled Tails, Chris, Shadow, Cream and Knuckles jumping off the waterfall into the lake making a huge splash. Followed by Cheese who gently floated down into the water next to Cream. Sonic wiped the water off his face annoyed, but lightened up knowing that if he could swim he'd do the same thing. He had the urge to jump in and join them, but denied it. He sighed sadly and went back to wishing he hadn't eaten that much chocolate cake.

" You know, I could teach you."

He turned around to see Amy again, only she was wearing that bikini Rouge had bought her, and MAN did Amy look sexy in it! It was the same colour red as her dress; he thought she looked great in red.

" I don't know Amy…"

" Oh c'mon! Please?" She said looking at him with puppy dog eyes that he just couldn't resist " You're gonna have to learn some time! Aaaand I bet it would help you fight too!" Sonic was getting a little more convinced " If you learn to swim, then you could become invincible!" she finished KNOWING she had got him now.

" … Alright… I'll go…" He sighed in surrender.

Amy squealed in delight and grabbed his arm in the usual sort of Amy way.

'Now that's the Amy I know.' Sonic thought while being dragged along the ground into the water.

Sonic was now waist-deep in water; he panicked

" heh heh heh, okay Amy I'm in, can I get out now?" He laughed nervously sneaking his way out

" Get back here you." Amy said and pulled him back " It's okay to be nervous Sonic! But don't worry, I'll be right here, and so is everybody else! You're perfectly safe!" She said trying to calm him down, and Sonic did. He sighed.

" … Okay…"

" Good, now lets start with the basics." She slowly pulled him further into the water so he wouldn't freak out again " Kick your feet like your walking… well, not like YOUR walking but normal pace." Sonic did and was doing well " Great! Now lets try moving around, kay?" Sonic nodded with a little more confidence " Now do this…"

She demonstrated a breaststroke to Sonic and he tried it, almost perfect! " Wow! You're a quick learner!" Amy said which boosted Sonic's confidence a whole lot more and he smiled " Now lets try diving!" Sonic could have sworn his heart skipped a beat; this was the part he was REALLY afraid of. " Now… Kind of like you're about to go into a spin dash, dive down and kick your feat and move your arms like this" She said and demonstrated and Sonic nodded observantly. Then Amy dove down and Sonic watched her under the water.

' Wow… She's graceful underwater…' he thought

She surfaced next to Sonic " Now you try." Sonic's heart almost had a fit. He gulped, gathered up all his courage and dove.

He couldn't believe it; he was swimming! He looked around, it was beautiful under the water, like another world… He surfaced next to Amy " I DID IT! IM SWIMMING!" He said proudly and started swimming around trying his new skill out

" That's awesome Sonic! I'm so proud of you!" Amy giggled watching him, he looked like a little kid on Christmas day.

" Look guys I'm swimming!" He said swimming next to the group of his friends

" WOW! That's great Sonic!" Tails said

" Finally done it Sonic, we're proud of ya!" Knuckles said giving him a thumbs up

" I'll race ya Sonic!" Chris said

" Youre on!" Sonic said and started racing around the lake with Chris

Rouge came into the water and swam up to Amy " Wow Amy, how'd you do it?" She said impressed

" Well, he had to learn some how didn't he? And I was the one to teach him." She said proud of herself as well.


" –and how I beat Chris in that race, did you see me?" Sonic asked excitedly at Chuck

" Yes, yes, we saw you Sonic, we're all proud of ya." Chuck said amused at how much of a fuss he had made before just over a couple of minutes work.

The sun had set and everyone decided to pack up they're picnic and leave. They weren't that hungry because of lunch, so they were walking around Station Square looking for somewhere to chill out for a while.

" Man there sure aren't a lot of NORMAL restaurants around here are there…" Rouge said looking from window to window.

"Yeah, they're all big fancy places or junkfood." Knuckles said looking around as well. Then Sonic stopped suddenly, as did the rest; they could here loud music coming from one of the restaurants

" Do you guys here that?" Sonic said with his ears pricking up

" Yeah, sounds awesome!" Shadow said and they started following the music

They didn't walk far until they stopped outside the source of the sound

" 'C H A O S café' huh?" Chuck read from the sign

" Good enough for me! Lets go!" Sonic said and they went inside, the music was a lot louder in here, the rock music was booming, but just enough that they could here what they were all saying. They looked around in awe, there were booths instead of seats up the top level, and going down, there was a stage and some kids dancing to the music, next to that on the left there was a bar, that didn't sell alcohol, and teenaged girl (and occasionally boy) waiters roller skating from table to table getting orders, serving food and drinks and dodging the kids gracefully. Then they were shocked when they looked closer.

" They're… like us!" Tails said, of coarse, the waiters and bar tenders, were animals! Mostly hedgehogs, and some cats and others they couldn't work out until a girl came up to them.

" Hey! Welcome to C H A O S café! I'll show ya to a table!"

Amy stopped in her tracks when she heard her voice ' … It cant… be…'

Amy turned around quickly from where she was looking and faced the pink girl

" ELESS!"

The girl looked at her too and gasped " AMY?"

Oh yay! Cliffhanger! Omg who is this eless girl? Well some of you will know… PLEASE REVIEW!
