Chapter 3 – The Locator and the New Word

"Hey Amy, why do you always chase Sonic all over the place? I mean, he always runs away and avoids you, if it were me, I would have given up on him a long time ago," Cream said out of nowhere as they were walking to Tails' house.

"Well, Cream, I ask myself that question sometimes. I suppose it is because…I love him. Sure, he might be coarse, uncaring, and sometimes even nasty to me, but I know that's not the way he really feels. I wish that someday Sonic will love me back the same way I love him," Amy replied as she gently stroked his quills with her free arm. He seemed to like that and relaxed somewhat in her arms and continued sleeping.

They arrived at Tails' house a little while later. Sonic was awake by this time and waited eagerly while the fox answered his door. When Tails saw who it was, he grinned.

"Hi girls! Cream, did Amy tell you who this baby is?" Tails asked while gesturing at Sonic, who was fascinated by a butterfly that was fluttering just out of his reach.

"Yes, she did Tails. May we come in?" Cream asked sweetly.

"Oh, yes, yes of course!" Tails said, slightly embarrassed. He let them come inside his house, and showed them a handheld machine that looked somewhat like a GPS device.

"This machine will absorb the energy reading of the fake Chaos Emerald that I made and it should point you in the direction of the others. Here, I'll test it out now and see where the closest Chaos Emerald is. Huh? This thing must be malfunctioning…Cream, this reading says that the closest Chaos Emerald to here is right in your bag," Tails stated, confused.

"Oh yeah, Tails we forgot to tell you that Cream found the Green Chaos Emerald in the park when she was taking a walk," Amy said while Cream produced the jewel from her bag. Tails sat there in utter disbelief, looking from Cream, to Amy, and back to Cream.

"Y-You found this, Cr-Cream?" Tails stuttered as he examined the glowing Emerald.

Cream giggled. "Yes, Tails, I'm not as helpless as you think I am."

Tails was hurt by the comment. Before he could stop himself, he said, "I don't think you're helpless Cream, I think you are one of the kindest and most helpful people I know!"

Cream's eyes shined with happiness. "Really, Tails? You think I am all those things? That's the kindest thing you have ever said to me!"

Cream leaned over and gave Tails a kiss on the cheek, which caused him to turn a deep shade of red in embarrassment. Amy laughed as she noticed his blush. Sonic and Cheese didn't notice the display as they were going through Tails' bedroom upstairs.

"Hey, Knuckles, when did you get here? I coulda sworn Tails was there a minute ago!" Amy joked, causing Tails and Cream to both blush. "Now, shall we get back to business?"

Tails composed himself, saying, "Yes, right. Now, thanks to Cream," he smiled over at her, "we have a real Emerald to hook up to this machine. This will not only tell us about Emeralds in the vicinity, but it will also pinpoint the remaining six around the world!" And with that, he placed the glowing green jewel on the scanner. A moment later, six red dots showed up on a hologram of Earth that was projected from the machine alone with holograms of the remaining emerald colors.

"So there they all are. From the looks of this, I would say the closest one to here would be on…Angel Island? Hmm…" Tails said

Amy piped in, "Tails, are you sure this thing isn't mistaking it for the Master Emerald? They do share the same energy source, and I think Knuckles would be kinda angry if we just go and take the jewel he has guarded his whole life."

Tails shook his head 'no', "This scanner, due to the extreme power of the Chaos Emerald, can detect the difference between the Chaos and Master Emeralds. The Red Chaos Emerald is apparently in one of the caves on Angel Island."

Amy took out her hot pink cell phone and called Knuckles on speed dial. He picked up after the first three rings. "Hello?" came a deep voice on the other side.

"Hi, Knux! How have you and Rouge been?" Amy asked. Rouge had moved in with Knuckles after the ARK and he didn't object. Then again, no one expected him to say no.

"We've been good, how about you, Amy? Still chasing Sonic out there?" Rouge chuckled as she spoke into Knuckles' phone.

That comment reminded Amy why she called, and put a small frown on her face. "I've been good. In fact, I'm calling about Sonic."

"Sigh Amy, if you're looking for love advice, I'm afraid I can't give any, as I have no experience in the matter," Knux replied.

"No, no it's not that. Tell this to Rouge also. Tails was making a machine that changes your age, and Sonic was testing it out. However, something went wrong and Sonic was turned into a 1 year old. The machine can reverse the effect, but we need all seven of the Chaos Emeralds. We got one so far, from Cream, who found it in the park while taking a stroll. Tails also built a machine that can track the remaining six Emeralds, and it's powered by the one we found. The scanner shows that the Yellow Emerald is in a cave on Angel Island. I called to find out if you two could go get it for us, and maybe help us look for the other Emeralds. What do you say?"

"Hmm…I don't know Amy…it's been a while since I've gone treasure hunting. But, for Sonic, I suppose I can make an exception. Me and Rouge will go look for it. Can you put Tails on so I can find out exactly which cave it's in?" both Knuckles and Rouge asked.

"Sure," Amy said, "here he is." Amy handed the phone over to Tails.

Sonic and Cheese have been awfully quiet upstairs…maybe we should go check on them Amy thought. Cream seemed to have the same idea and both began to walk upstairs, leaving Tails to talk with Knuckles.

When Amy and Cream went into Tails' bedroom they found Sonic and Cheese searching through his clothes drawers and throwing the clothes all over the room. Amy, without thinking, suddenly exploded.

"SONIC! What are you doing!?" Amy yelled at the toddler, who jumped about a foot in the air before looking behind himself. Seeing an enraged pink hedgehog coming towards him, he dropped the t-shirt he was holding and held his hands to his head, as if to block an attack to his face. Amy picked him up, turned him to look her straight in the eye and said, "Going through other people's things is a no-no Sonic! You should know better than that! Now Tails has to pick all of these clothes up off the floor! What do you have to say for yourself!?"

Sonic knew he had done something wrong and began to cry. He hung his head and lay down on Tails' bed, crying into the pillow. Amy immediately felt guilty and sat down next to Sonic and began stroking his royal blue quills softly. His crying let up a little. "Oh, Sonic, I'm sorry…I just lost my temper there for a minute. I know you're just a baby, you don't realize that you're being rude by going through other people's stuff. I shouldn't have yelled at you like I did, and I apologize. Do you forgive me?" Amy asked the tiny hedgehog, who had stopped crying. Sonic walked next to Amy and hugged her, as far around as his tiny arms could reach. Amy smiled and kissed him on the forehead, then picked him up.

He giggled, and then apparently tried to say something to her. "A-A-A" Amy assumed he was trying to say her name, which made her blush. "You can do it," she encouraged him,

"A-my A-my."

Sonic tried again. "A-A-mmmeee. Amee, Amy!" Amy cheered for him, and then gave him a big hug.

"Good job, Sonic! I'm so proud of you!" she said with a smile on her face. He smiled back and repeated his new word over and over. "Amy Amy Amy Amy Amy Amy Amy!"

R&R!
