Hiyo! It's me again. In this story, you'll see the other characters. One day, when my scanner is on the road again, you will get references drawn by moi. :3 Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic and Co. Who knows what failure it'd be if I actually owned it.

Chapter one: A broken rose

Amy stared at the hologram. The blue blur had been gone on a trip to see the world, and hadn't been seen since some days after Eggman had left. He had grown, Amy noticed. He was slightly taller, and a long, blue bang popped out from his forehead. He wore a white band, a pretty dirty and ripped one, tied around his waist. His shoes were the high-tech ones, created by Tails.

But what shocked Amy the most was what she noticed on his right ear. A green earring. Very similar to hers. In fact, the exactly same as hers. Amy had handed him it when he left, but she was shocked he still wore it.

He started to talk.

"Tails. Now time long see, ne?" He chuckled. "Well, no time for that. You've got to warn the citizens. Eggman has returned. Right now I'm captured, but don't mind me before you've warned the citizens. Keep this between only you and Knuckles. Especially, don't tell Amy."

The little holo-Sonic smiled and waved. Click. He was gone.

Amy fell on her knees and stared into space. Of course. Don't tell Amy. She'd do a failing mission rescue and worry too much. She punched her fist in the steel floor. The floor took damage by it, showing she'd improved alot. She took a pen and paper and started to write on it. Before she ran off to her home to get something, she tossed the holo-message.

"Thanks for helping me with carrying these stuffs Knuckles." A twin tailed yellow fox said as he were walking towards his residence. Tails was 14 now, and had grown. His tails were slightly longer, and his tips were a darker yellow when fusing into the white. He wore a red and white striped scarf around his neck that he had gotten from Cream. He wore high-tech hover shoes, designed by him to fly higher.

"There isn't alot to carry, really. You could've carried it yourself," The red echidna said, only carrying two small boxes. "If only you didn't have to carry Cosmo." He chuckled. He was the same hard-headed echidna. He was old now, but no one could say he'd matured. He wore yellow and orange beans and bandages on his locks, the same 'lego-block' shoes as Amy called them, and a necklace with wolf teeth hanging on them.

Yes, it was Cosmo. What used to be the rests of her, a seed, was now a huge plant with pink blossoms. Probably just as big as Tails, so Tails had to use alot of power to carry her.

Tails just answered by glaring daggers at him. He loved her deeply, and wouldn't let anything harm her.

"Oi, Look at your door, twintails." Knuckles said and nodded towards the twintailed fox' residence.

Tails ran towards the door, to check if everything was okay. He put down Cosmo in the hallway, and noticed the closet door was open. "The lab!" He quickly jumped in the closet. When he came down the elevator, he noticed a note on his apprentice, Amy's desk. He thought that she maybe got kidnapped or something, and remembered what Sonic said if something happened to her. He shivered. He read the note.

Dear Tails.

I'm heading for a road trip, will be back in a month or sooner, I've taken m hovercraft and the Piko booster, and also some items. Sorry for breaking down the door, I forgot the key.

See you soon,

Love Amy Rose.

Tails noticed her pink pen and handwriting, she was ok. He let ou a sigh of relief, as he threw the note in the trash can, but it popped out as if it had hit something hard. He looked in it. He couldn't remember throwing a holo-message. He watched it just in case.

Outside, Knuckles was putting down the boxes, as Cream came to take care of Cosmo. Cosmo had been her best friend, so she had taken care of her whenever she could. "Hey, what's happening, Knuckles?" Cream said in her sweet, kind voice.

Cream had also changed. She was 12, soon 13. Her hair was a shoulder length, wavy, hair. She had a pony tail in the back, put up by her favorite white hairribbon. Her ears were hanging down normally, and 3 small, orange bangs popped out from her forehead. She wore a navy, sleeveless hoodie, with a orange skirt with navy tips. Her boots were orange too, made for walking. She had navy wristbands, toned with her light tan skin. On the back she had a white backpack, with Cheese and Chocola popping their heads out of it.

"Nothing much," Knuckles said and put up the door again. "The door was broke down when we came."

"Oh no!" Cream said in her squeaky, cute, worry voice, while Cheese and Chocola went on with some conversation on their language.

Suddenly, Tails appeared with a worried look plastered on his face. He showed them the holo-message.

"Amy's gone after him."
