Blaze's POV:

I woke up to the most horrible headache. I looked down and realized I was still in my clothes from yesterday. I must've been really tired if I went to sleep in my clothes and not my PJ's. But that still doesn't explain the headache. I heard my phone go off and looked at the messages. I had about 4 messages. They were all Rouge, Amy, Sonic, and Silver asking if I was okay.

"Well of course. I'm fine. I've just got this horrible headache." I replied and the forwarded it to all 4 of them. They replied almost instantly.

"Hey hon. Why don't you have a glass of water?" Rouge replied.

"Oh Blaze! Glad you're okay!" Amy replied.

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I slowly took a sip as I read the next text.

"Glad you're okay." Silver replied.

"Thank god you're alright and normal. Come see me later okay?" Sonic replied.

Huh? That's weird. What does he mean 'normal'?

"Yeah, what happened?" I replied.

Amy was the first to reply. "Let's just say it's not something you want to tell someone over the phone. I'll be right over."

I put my cell phone down on the counter with my cup. Within 5 minutes the doorbell rang.

I sighed and opened the door. Amy was standing there with a worried expression.

"Thank god you're okay!" She said hugging me.

I gave her a confused expression. "Um, what is this about?"

"So you really don't remember?"

"Remember what?" This was starting to make me worried.

"Well last night you danced on a table with your shirt in your hand, fell off, got caught by Sonic, who had to take you home, and now you're here."

Thank god I wasn't holding my cup or it would've shattered on the floor. My knees felt like Jell-O and I slumped to the floor. I cupped my face in my hands and groaned. I felt Amy's hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, it's okay. Even if everyone thinks you're a slut and Sonic totally disapproves of your actions, it's okay."

I lifted my head up and looked at her sympathetic face. "What?"

"You're 20. You should've known better."

"I never-"

"That was totally inappropriate no one else did anything like that!"

"I would ne—"

"Why would YOU of ALL PEOPLE do anything like that?"

"SHUT UP!" I screamed. I can't take it. I can't take any of her shit. "Get. Out. Of. MY. House."

"Fine, geez!" She got up and waltzed out. I picked up a pillow and hurled it across the room and grabbed my phone. I ran outside and ran as fast as I possibly could in some random direction until I reached the forest. I stopped in a place that had a patch of dirt on a clearing and burst into flames. I felt the power course through me and adrenaline I got from running gave me an amazing feeling of ease as the anger seemed to drain out of me. I continued to burn my fire until I heard a voice.

"Blaze?"

I recognized that voice anywhere. It was Sonic. I suddenly put out my fire and turned around. When I saw his concerned expression a bunch of feelings went through me. I wanted to hug him, shout, and cry, but I didn't do anything. I just looked at him, shocked, until I realized he was with Amy. Then I glared at her and turned to run. I left a trail of flames to my dismay and I had to jump into a pond to cool my anger. When I resurfaced, I saw Sonic put Amy down then walk over.

"What are you doing? Are you okay?" He asked me. I looked away. I dove back into the water and allowed myself to sink to the bottom. You'd think I'd hate water, being a pyrokinetic cat and all, but right now it seemed comforting. I came up when I needed air, hoping Sonic would find some reason to leave me here. To my dismay he was still there, but he was arguing with Amy and he had a panicked expression.

"She's trying to drown herself!" He shouted.

"No she's not!" Amy shouted back. "She's not suicidal!"

"She sacrificed herself for this 'future world' 6 years ago!"

"Where'd you hear that?"

"She told me!"

"And suddenly she's you best friend huh? Well fuck you!"

"I'll pass!"

"What? Oh god damn it!"

Well, kudos to Amy for pointing out I'm not suicidal.

Sonic's POV:

I can't believe Amy just said that to me. And Blaze… she just swam to the bottom of the pond! I glanced toward the water just in time to see Blaze swim to shore and climb out.

Oh. No you don't.

I dashed over and grabbed her from behind. She squirmed in my arms and I carried her over to Amy and set her on the ground.

"I think you owe me an apology!" Amy snapped glaring at Blaze.

Blaze brushed a strand from her ponytail from her face and looked up at her. "No! You owe ME an apology! I am not a slut!"

I gave Amy a look. "You called her a—"

"Listen up Blaze!" Amy snarled. She glared hatefully at Blaze. "As IF taking of your shirt and dancing on a table isn't slutty! And I want you to get the HELL out of here and go back to your little fucking dimension with all your little fucking emeralds!"

I just stared at Amy with shock. Blaze opened her mouth to say something but Amy cut her off.

"NOW!" Amy pulled out her hammer and chased blaze into the forest. I followed cautiously behind; trying to make sure I could see them at all times. Not once have I seen Amy this mad.

Silver's POV:

Why won't she answer! I texted her like, 5 times! I'll just assume that she's busy.

Screw it.

I tossed my phone on my bed and stormed out my apartment, only to go back, grab my phone, and leave again. I walked down the street mindlessly, not 100% sure where I was going. I bumped into some guy in a cloak and got shoved to the ground.

"Watch it, mullet head!"

"What the hell!" I got up and stormed off. Within a couple minutes I ended up at Blaze's house, standing silently at the front door. I looked around feeling slightly awkward and knocked on the door. After about a minute or so when I received no answer I tried one more time. No answer.

"Blaze!" I said loudly as I knocked again. I received some odd looks from bystanders as I turned around. "Where the hell are you?"

"Get a life!" Some kid shouted. I heard his friends laughing. "She's over you!" He joked.

Blaze's POV:

I'm running because I feel totally humiliated, exiled, and lost. Not because I'm afraid of the shouting kill behind me threating to kill me with a giant hammer. I ignore the searing pain of trees whipping at my face and arms and I push through this seemingly never-ending forest. My heart is pounding with the adrenaline running through my veins and all I can hear is the shouting of Amy and Sonic behind me.

"Get back here!" Amy shrieked.

"Blaze, Amy, wait!" Sonic called out.

"I thought you wanted me to leave!" I shouted back to Amy. I heard my phone go off, but I don't have time for that now. I saw a trench ahead, and a wave a fear came over me.

I just can't STAND heights. What if I fall?

But the shouting behind me shot me back to reality and a rush came over me. I increased my speed and jumped off the edge of the trench. I soared over, and glanced at the seeming bottomless drop below. Thankfully I landed on the other side and continued to run. I heard I thud behind me soon after, followed by a high pitched "OW!"

I glanced backwards in time to see Amy get up and continue pursuit. She must really be angry if she was willing to do that.

Sonic's POV:

I jumped over a trench with ease, unlike Amy who stumbled when she landed. I kept my pace low enough so I could keep up but not be too close. I kept shouting at them to wait but of course neither Blaze or Amy paid any attention to me. I decided to save my voice and stop yelling. Except right when I did that Amy drew her hammer up over her shoulder and was just about to throw it.

"AMY, NO!" I shouted. Right when she was about to release her weapon, I heard a gunshot.

And Amy dropped to the ground.
