Disclaimer: You know it by now…and in case you don't…I don't own any of the Sonic characters…just Melody.

Amy shrugged not understanding the situation completely. "I don't know…you were with her last."
Melody groaned with irritation, "Didn't you catch all that I just said!"
Amy shook her head, "You said it a bit fast…sorry…"
Melody took a few deep breathes and repeated in an agitated voice, careful to speak slowly enough for Amy to understand. "Lizzey is missing, and there is a huge group of people coming our way. I don't know if they mean harm or not but I'm not too keen on finding out."
The seriousness of the situation finally hit Amy and she grabbed her hammer, frantically calling out Lizzey's name.
Melody shushed her and quietly ordered, "We're outnumbered…I say we spy on this group and see if they have Lizzey with them and figure out if their friend or foe."
Shadow nodded, speaking for the first time since she arrived, "I can use chaos control for a quick getaway."
Melody nodded, managing a brief smile before climbing up into a nearby tree and listening for traces of the humans. She jumped down and right as she landed, Lizzey came staggering into the camp, dizzy and out of breath, face red and feet dragging. She attempted to wave but fell to the ground from exhaustion.
Amy ran to her and helped her to her feet, supporting her as she tried to stand. Melody wiped her forehead with relief and asked, "Did you see the humans?"
Lizzey nodded vaguely, barely able to see as she gasped, "The. Humans. Are. Treehuggers. No. Danger." She fainted clean away.
Melody lifted her easily and set her down on a pile of pine straw. "False alarm." Her voice held relief.
"How come you assume everything means danger?" Amy wondered.
"Because it is when you've got a huge price on your head…" Melody paced for a few minutes then sat down restlessly.

Several hours later Lizzey finally came around and the first thing she said was, "Melody, you run too fast…"
"Can you walk now?" Melody asked, face concerned.
"Yes…"
"Good" she replied, gathering her bag and some of the contents, packing it all away carefully. "I've a feeling that we need to get moving again. I need to find a certain type of flower—one struck by lightning. Then I can break the curse and get on with my life."
Amy posed the next question, "How are we going to find that?"
Melody response was confident, "We just have to look."
"I was afraid you were going to say that…" Amy mumbled.
Melody looked around fearfully, "Guys…if I suddenly…you know…attack you…do whatever you can to fight me…even if it means kill me. I don't want to hurt you…but I feel the curse starting to take effect again."
