"Hey Amy, it's Rouge. Listen, not to sound insensitive, but why cry now? You've had five years – forget him, move on. Sorry if I sound harsh. Call me."

"Hey Amy, it's Tails. We're all still upset, you know? We're here for you always. Hope you feel better."

Beep

"Hey Amy. It's Knuckles -"

Amy pulled the phone plug out of the socket so fast it almost snapped. If she had to listen to one more person tell her that she should get over Sonic, she would scream. She had tried to forget him already, and it had not worked, so why would it now? And what if she didn't want to get over him?

Because deep down, she knew, she still loved him.

Wiping her eyes on the back of her hand, Amy threw herself onto the sofa. She was tired from crying, but knew that she could not truly get over Sonic. She tried to tell herself that he had been gone for five years, and was not coming back, ever. But her heart told her to hold on, and she still had that little smidgen of hope that he would.

After all, he had told her he would never leave her.

"Amy please, you need to enjoy yourself. I've got us tickets to Florida for a week, got us booked into Discovery Cove and everything. Please come. Just me and you – you deserve some fun."

Amy looked at the tickets in her hand. She had accepted Rouge's offer, but now she was not so sure. Going away could do her some good, but she did not want to forget Sonic.

After voicing her concerns, Rouge simply replied;

"You won't be forgetting him, honey, you just need to let loose. I know you miss him more than what we probably do, but moping around isn't going to do you any good."

And she knew she was right, she just did not want to admit it.

She called Rouge back, and told her she would be happy to go with her to Florida. After all, she needed a break.

The plane trip was not long, and Rouge and Amy either spoke or slept, both dreaming different things.

They checked into their hotel, within walking distance of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, with Wet n Wild just across the road. Rouge had chosen this hotel so that they would not have to travel far to the parks.

After dumping their bags, the girls set off to Universal. It was still early, so they would have a day there.

Amy tried to enjoy herself, joining in with Rouge on the rides, but she could not shake the feeling that someone was watching her. They returned to the hotel, but the receptionist stopped them before they could get to the elevator.

"Miss Rose? There's a package for you," she said in a kind voice.

Amy smiled and took the parcel, taking it up to her and Rouge's room. She opened it gently, careful of what was inside. A delicate purple flower fell from it. A closer look revealed the flower to be a Forget-Me-Not.

"Who would send you that?" Rouge asked.

"I'm not sure," Amy replied, examining the plant. "Is there anything else in the parcel?"

"Only a small slip of paper. It says, 'Don't forget me Amy, I'm coming back, I promise'. Huh. That's strange. Who could it be?"

"Rouge... what if it's Sonic?" Amy was suddenly animated, looking at Rouge with excited eyes. "Everyone has been telling me to get over him, move on, forget him, what if it's him that's sending me this? Saying that he will come back and that he doesn't want me to forget him?"

Rouge could only smile, not wanting to disappoint her close friend.

Once again, I'm going to ask for three reviews before I update. I've got some of the later chapters written, but am struggling with the built up. I'm terrible like that!

Hope you liked,
