Amy woke with the content sigh. She sat up in her bed and stretched, letting out a groan as her joints snapped back into place. After a few more seconds, she got out of the bed. She realized that it was pretty bland in this little place of hers. She wanted it to be like a three story mansion made of marble. The black that was originally in this place was replaced with beautiful marble mansion. She looked at it. She smiled. She cracked her hands and smiled.

'Oh yeah. This is going to be fun,' she said.

Her bed got transported to the master bedroom and Amy started to walk to the mansion. The mansion turned more Greek-like and red roses grew in the front of the mansion. She opened the door and looked at it. After a few seconds, it turned into a stained glass door. She walked in the house and looked around. After about 5 hours, the place was finished. There were 18 rooms. The kitchen was like a restaurant kitchen and it made food for her with invisible servants. There was a wine cellar with the best wine and a living room that was 3 rooms combined. The foyer was a simple but elegant marble. Twin spiral staircases led up to the 2 floor. The second floor was mainly a gaming place with 5 bedrooms and 1 big gaming area. Another spiral staircase led to the 3rd story and that was all bedrooms. The main bedroom took up half of the 3rd floor and there were 6 pretty good sized bedrooms. Each had its own bathroom and had a relatively light feeling to it. Amy's room, the master bedroom, was more of a mysterious room. Its main colors were maroon and black. The walls were maroon and the curtains were black. She had a normal red colored love couch that faced a large plasma screen TV. Her lights had dimmers that she could use anytime. After all of that thinking that she put into making this place, she was tired. She thought for a second and decided to go out for ice cream. She whistled as she left the mansion and started to go to the real world again. She looked out of the hole in her tree and realized that the hedgehogs were outside. She froze, hoping to escape detection.

The hedgehogs really were there. They were frustrated that they couldn't find her all day. They checked everywhere with no luck. Shadow was leaning right next to the hole in the ground and Silver was in the tree. Sonic was pacing and thinking even though he is really dumb. Shadow and Silver sighed, giving up for now.

"Sonic, we're not going to find her today," said Silver.

Shadow nodded in agreement. Sonic stopped pacing and looked at them.

"Guys, I have a feeling that we are going to find her today," Sonic said.

Amy needed to get them away from the tree. She closed her eyes and her vision moved to the tree line. She looked around. She found a stone and she picked it up. She looked at the three of them. Taking aim at Sonic's head, she hurled it and hit him smack in the back of the head. Sonic and the others were surprised and looked that direction. Amy shook the bush and made a flash of black run to the train station. They followed it and Amy returned to her body. She smiled and walked out of the hole. She started to walk toward the train station, thinking of wonderful things.

Meanwhile, Sonic and the other hedgehogs were chasing after the decoy. It abruptly turned and started to head to the Mystic Ruins forest. They were confused, but figured that she was trying to shake them off in the forest. They followed after the decoy, not knowing that it was going to piss off Knuckles.

Amy sighed as she looked around Station Square. She started to walk to the diner at the end of the street. She smiled and thought of how funny it would be for the decoy to distract them with Knuckles. She thought about it running up to Knuckles and telling him that they were after her and the Master Emerald. She shook her head and opened the door to the diner. She sat in the booth as a waitress gave her a menu and Amy started to read it, wondering what to order.

The decoy had lost the hedgehogs and was almost to the shrine. The decoy was all black and had no face. It ran to the shrine, looking scared and looked behind it a lot. It ran into something solid and fell on its butt. It looked up to greet an angry echidna. It shot up and begged.

"Please, you have to help me!" It said, fear lacing its voice.

Knuckles' gazed wavered.

"Why? If your after the Master-"

"No. I have absolutely no interest in taking your Master Emerald. But Sonic does."

"What do you mean?"

"He's after Amy. Hot on her trail, but she doesn't want to be found. I'm her friend who's helping to keep them away. They think that they can use the Master Emerald to capture her."

Knuckles looked at what he thought was a him.

"I don't like using the Master Emerald for that reason, but I would be willing to use it to help get Amy back," he said.

The decoy shook his head.

"No. I talked to Amy. She's so heartbroken that she hardly even talks to anyone. If you were with the hedgehogs that chase after her, you would hear her horrible cries. It is like someone is trying to kill her. I really don't want her to be hurt anymore. Besides, I think that they may just take it to use anyway," he said, looking down with sadness.

Knuckles bought knuckles up and put them together.

"Don't worry, they aren't getting near here!" he said.

The decoy let tears slid down his face.

"Thank you," he said.

Knuckles nodded.

"Also, can you tell them that it was you were informed by someone who understands Amy's well being better than they do right now?" he asked.

"Course."

The decoy ran to the edge of the island and jumped off.

"Thanks," he said as he sailed over the edge.

Knuckles turned to go back to guarding the Emerald when he heard running. It was Sonic and the others. Knuckles growled.

"Fuck, he was right!" he hissed and prepared for a fight.

When Sonic got close enough, Knuckles punched him in the stomach, sending him flying into a tree. Sonic fell to the ground as the others stopped. Sonic coughed up some blood as he looked up.

"Knuckles? What was that for?" he asked.

"For trying to get past me and use the Master Emerald to try and get Amy back!" he yelled.

The hedgehogs looked confused.

"Who told you that?" asked Silver.

"Someone who told me that she doesn't want to be found. Someone who told me that it would ruin her well being," said Knuckles.

"Look, as good as an idea as that sounds, there is no way that we would use it to bring her back. She isn't even dead," said Sonic, coughing up some more blood. (A.N.: no, he's not dying, he just has a little blood in his lungs from a small, nonlethal tear in his lungs. Back to the story.)

"Look, we just want to find her," said Shadow.

"Then you have to go through me to get to actually catch her!" yelled Knuckles, taking another battle stance.

Shadow and Silver took battle stances, but stopped when Sonic held up a hand. He smiled and spat out some blood.

"I got this, guys," he said as he charged Knuckles.

Knuckles charged at the same time and they collided in a head on battle.

Amy sighed after her wonderful lunch and ice cream. She walked to the train station and looked at the train. It felt weird for her to not have someone chasing after her over 20 years. She looked at the train tracks and just ran on it. She ran through the tunnel and smiled as she got to the end in just a few seconds. She was getting faster. Her gaze drifted over to Angel Island and she noticed that Angel Island had dust kicked up on the stairs to the altar. Amy sweatdropped behind her head.

'Must of pissed off Knuckles somehow,' she thought to herself.

She sighed as she couldn't let it go. She grew a vein and started to run to her tree. She went inside grabbed her cloak. She threw it on and started to run to Angel Island. She looked out at the battle which was faster than the human eye. But she was a godling and she looked out at them. She sweatdropped again as she saw that as they battled, they flipped each other off. She growled softly, but Shadow picked it up. Shadow's head turned and looked at Amy's hiding place. He started to walk over there, and Amy noticed.

"Shit!" she hissed softly as she wrapped her cloak around her.

Shadow was stopped when Sonic was thrown into him. Amy snorted in laughter and tried hard to contain her laughter. Everyone heard the snort and the muffled laughter and looked that direction. There was no one there, but everyone was suspicious. Amy started to back away from the way she came. The four looked closer and she froze. Apparently, they saw nothing because Knuckles punched Sonic in the gut and sent him flying. Shadow and Silver turned back to the battle. Amy started to back away again, slower so that she could remain silent. Silver felt strange. He closed his eyes and used his telepathy to see of anyone was around. He sensed an extremely powerful aura that he was sure wasn't anything living. It had to be something like a spirit or a deity or something along those lines. Silver blocked it out and tried to find Amy's original aura.

Unknown to them, Amy's aura had gotten very, very strong, but Silver didn't notice because they were too focused on the capture of Amy. Amy got out of earshot and took off. She ran harder than ever for no apparent reason. It was seeing Sonic that was driving her over the edge. She was afraid of him. She was afraid to fall in love and to love back freely. She was afraid of being hurt like that. Hunter scared her into almost giving up the will to live, but she found Sonic and he ripped her heart out of her chest. Amy slowed as she got closer to the tree. Could she just take her life and never be hurt again.

Don't do it. I want to see you bloom, little flower.

No. She was not going to give up on life. Hunter wouldn't want it and nether would Krystal. Amy looked up. She sure was lonely without anyone to physically talk to. She sighed and an idea popped in her head. Cream's birthday was coming up. Amy always left a black rose on the window sill for her birthday. She always had a note attached to it too. Amy went deep in thought as she reached the tree. She looked up and sighed. It was getting close to dark. She smiled and jumped in the hole. She reached her rose garden and started to look for the perfect rose.

Cream sat on her bed, looked at the ceiling. She missed Amy and just wanted to be with her. Cream closed her eyes to try and fall asleep, when she heard a sound.

Cream. Come to the window.

Cream sat up and looked at her window. There were 2 roses, one black and one scarlet red. Cream stood on her bed and opened the window. There was a black scroll and a tan scroll attached to each. Cream opened the tan one first.

Happy Birthday!
I know that it is early, but I open the black note and find out why.

Amelia Rozial

Cream hastily opened the black scroll. She opened it to reveal silver handprint. She read it quick.

My dear friend Cream,

I miss you so much right now. I need a companion and I don't know who to turn to. If you accept, then I will train you to be one of the best at speed, agility, fighting, and anything else that is physical. I…I really want you back Cream, because I can't live on without someone to help me. There is always my sister and we have a close relationship, but I need a friend like you Cream. I will take you away on the night of your birthday. Try to get alone and find a dark place. We walk away and stick together. We can visit our friends, but we have to stay away from Sonic. Sign the bottom of the sheet and I will pick it up in the morning.

Your dear and best friend,

Amelia Rozial

P.S. That is my original name. I rarely use it; most of the time on formal documents and if people need to talk to me seriously.

Cream looked at the sheet. She got out of the room and tip toed to her mother's room. She opened it and walked in. She shook her mother a little to wake her up.

"Mom, I need to talk to you," Cream said quietly.

Vanilla sat up slowly and yawned.

"What is it dear?" she asked.

Cream handed her the paper. Vanilla read it and looked at it with a calm demeanor.

"I-I want to go. I want to help Amy and learn how to protect myself better," Cream said.

"It's you chose. You're old enough to make decisions like this by yourself," Vanilla said. "Besides, I approve of you going. She sounds like she your companionship."

Cream hugged her mother, tears of joy coming down her cheeks.

"Thank you mom," she said as she started to head to the door to leave the note for Amy.

"Of course dear. Just come visit every once in a while."

Cream nodded and went back to her room. She found a white pencil and signed her name. She put it back on the sill and laid back and fell asleep. Amy dropped from the roof and read it. Her signature was on it. Amy felt tears of joy start to work their way through her eyes. She smiled down on Cream's sleeping form.

"Thank you Cream," she whispered before she turned and went home to get some sleep.

A.N.: As you know, I am really super late for the update. I'm really sorry, but I didn't receive anything for Valentine's day and the guy I liked shoved me to the ground and called me a fat bitch. He got owned. Anyway, there is also a project in science for me to do and I'm actually writing a book. I write it and then take it to a publisher for their approval. So, when I actually get over 80 Word pages done of it, I'm going to take it to the publisher and see what he/she thinks. Wish me luck! Oh, and I love LovelyBubbles stories. She kicks some major ass in the story world. Laters. Keep on writing!
