Sonic P.O.V.

I'm finally glad we're taking a break. I laid down on the ground, and looked up to the beautiful blue sky. The sky resembled me since I'm is blue, and I'm beautiful.

The talk I had with Amy earlier had me thinking, should I convince her to not burn our very special necklace? I don't even know what I truly want from her. I'm just thinking things of how long it's been, and the only thing I've truly focused on is her coming back.

It's been 20 years. I couldn't move on to something different, but I was confused too because she never came back over here, and I don't know why she didn't. It's almost like something made her forget about everything that happened between us.

Almost like she was hypnotized from this place or something, and just suddenly stopped coming because she moved on. Amy is getting married after all, I just think she left me for something else. I just don't know what.

"Sonic! Come here real quick!" I heard Amy shout. I looked over, and saw her doing something with sticks. I got up slowly, and started walking over to where she was. I sat right beside her, looking at what she was doing.

"Um. What the heck are you doing?" I asked while laughing."I'm trying to do some technics with these two sticks!" Amy tried to say that like that was exciting or something, but I looked at it like it was a cry for help."What, you're trying to make a fire?

Look, that would go away by the time the sun comes down." I reasoned with her."I'm not trying to make a fire. Well, I am, but I'm trying to see what else I can do with the fire." Amy was putting the sticks together so she could make a spark.

"Did you eat some bad berries or something because I think you ate to many then you were suppose to." I teased. She looked back at me with a frown on her face, and went back to working on the sticks."Seriously! It won't spark! I'll just do this instead." Amy went over to her purse and took out her mirror.

"Now what are you doing?" I asked her."I'm trying to get my mirror to reflect to the sun so it can shine down on the sticks and it'll make the fire." Amy pointed the mirror up to the sun.

"I don't think you're doing that right." I looked at the mirror."Well, I don't know how to do it, but I saw it on TV once and it worked."

Amy turned around to me."Okay. I'll show you how to do it the right way." I walked closer to her."Okay. Like you'll be able to do some advance trick like how I can." Amy laughed, even though nothing was funny."If it was so advanced, and you knew how to do it, why am I helping you?" I put my hand around her wrist.

"Just so you can see my awesome work." Amy tried making up an excuse. I laughed as she was running out of things to say."Okay, your suppose to direct the mirror at a certain angle of the sun and the sticks." I pointed her hand up to the sun, and slanted it to a tree."Why are you pointing at the tree?" Amy asked.

"Oh! But I thought you knew how to do this!" I teased her again."Uhh. Yeah. I was just asking you that because I'm testing you to see if you have this right." Amy said."Yeah yeah. Now the sun is on the mirror. So it's gonna go to that tree, to the sticks." The rays of the sun bounce off the tree, and it went to the sticks, and it suddenly made a fire.

Although I still had my hand on Amy's wrist, and pinkish look were on her cheeks."Nice job beginner." Amy slapped me in my chest and laughed."Okay, but I thought you said this was advanced." I walked up to her, just waiting for her to give in."Okay, you win. I don't know anything about making a fire."

Amy sat on the ground, and looked up to the sky. I laid down next to her, and looked around the woods. It was quiet for a moment. I liked the sound for a while because I still had things I needed to think about. Like, with that whole awkward feeling thing that just happened.

It feels like she's keeping something from me. I can tell when she is. Every time she looks up at the sky with that look on her face, she seems to be hiding something that she doesn't want to talk about. So I decided to start it off."Amy. Is anything bothering you?"

I sat up, and looked at her face. Amy took her eyes off the sky, and looked at me. It took her awhile to respond, but she still said something back to me."It's just that. I'm not sure I'm ready for this." Amy looked down at her shoes."Your not ready for what?"

"I don't think I'm ready to get married. I mean like, as soon as I kiss Scourge, I have realized that I have to deal with him for the rest of my life. Especially if we have kids." Amy explained. I threw up in my mouth from her whole sentence she just explained.

"Amy. What makes you think your not ready?" I scooted closer to her."I'm not ready for such a big responsibility. I'm going to be the queen of my kingdom, and my dad won't be there for long, and I don't think me being the queen is a good idea. I don't have something that a leader has." Amy explained more.

"Amy, you've got everything you need, because everything you need is inside. All you have to do is show it to everybody else. You can't doubt yourself your whole life, or you'll never get anything done." I told her."But I don't think this is the person I want to deal with for the rest of my life. I think it needs to be somebody else."

Amy replied."Then who should that person be?" I looked up at her quickly."Well, I think it should be-" Amy was suddenly cut off by our friends shouting our names."HEY GUYS! LOOK WHAT WE FOUND OVER HERE!" Knuckles exclaimed. Amy and I looked at each other confused, but decided to follow them anyway.

I put the fire out, and we ran over to the other side. I stopped, and suddenly remembered this moment."Oh my gosh! I so remember that!" Amy exclaimed. I smiled at what I saw. It was when Amy and I are were being regular kids (wild) and actually drew on the tree with our names on it.

"We were so weird back then. Just obsessed with drawing things on other objects." I laughed."I know, but I didn't know it could stay on here for this long." Amy touched the tree. I looked at her like she had lost her mind or something."Amy. How could it possibly come off?" I asked her, just so she could know that she was being a tad bit slow.

"I don't know. I haven't been here in a long time." Amy put her hands behind her back, and she looked a little bit guilty. Maybe what I was thinking before was right. She had forgotten all about this place, and that bothers me.

But then, it seems like she remembers everything. How she already knows where the Beautiful Meadow is without looking at the stupid guider thing that's on her wrist. Suddenly, it was starting to get dark, and then it seemed like we needed to make a fire.

"There's no sun out! Now I can't do my fire trick!" Amy pouted."You mean the fire trick I had to help you with?" I asked her."Oh. Right." Amy played with her necklace."Come on, we can do it without the sun."

I walked over to some sticks and threw it where we were going to put the fire."You get this stick, and I'll get this stick. Then, we can rub them together to make a fire." I explained."Oh. Well that would've been much easier instead of using the rays of the sun." Amy plopped herself next to me on a log."Yeah, but you couldn't even do this. If I hadn't helped you."

I smiled as I messed with her."Whatever. I could've if you hadn't interrupted me right when I was getting started." Amy was trying to play along, so I gave her a little bit of play. She knows I'm good at that."Really, because I came over there 5 minutes after you were starting and I didn't see a fire."

"More like 5 seconds." Amy looked over at me. She knew I won again."Fine. Ugh, your so good at playing along." Amy frowned again. I laughed as she kept pouting."Okay Princess Advanced, let's make this fire already."

Amy and I kept rubbing the sticks together until a little spark has been made. Then, it suddenly turned into a fire."Yay! Fire!" Amy cheerfully yelled. Then she started dancing."You can dance all you want, but I'm not looking at you." I covered my face. Amy is not a really good dancer, but you gotta love her anyway. Not the way I do though.

Amy finally stopped dancing when I peeked through my fingers one last time."Sonic." She said calmly after she took some short breaths."Yeah?" I looked over to her."It's like I can't do anything without you." Amy said.

I felt this thumping feeling in my body as she finished her sentence. I kept trying to swallow, but my spit wouldn't even go down. That's when I finally managed to say something back.

"I feel the same way. I can't be happy if your not around."

I told her."Thanks Sonic." After that it was just quiet. We were both looking the opposite ways from each other. Amy was playing with the necklace, and I was scratching my head nervously."Can I ask you another question?" I started it off again."Yeah. Go ahead."

Amy turned her whole body just to face me."Did you, ever think about this place when you were gone?" I asked. It took Amy a while to respond to my question, but at least she was still thinking about the words she was going to say.

"Yes. I thought about this place every single day. I even snuck over here to see you again. But then..." Amy trailed off."But then what?" I asked curiously."I got held back. A lot held back from doing anything." Amy said quietly.

"Who held you back?! You know I'll kill them if they do something my best friend doesn't like, you know that right?" I smashed my fist into my hand."Yes, I do know that, but he's my father, I can't just eliminate him." Amy's eyes bucked opened, and looked at her suspiciously."So it's the king/father that's holding you back from seeing me? I should've known."

I crossed my arms."I think I said to much." Amy laughed."No, I think you said enough." I laughed with her."Come on guys. We have to go hunt for some dinner." Rouge had a bow in arrow in her hand.

"Okay, we're coming in a minute." I told them. They took off running into the trees."So, back to the, I can't do anything without you thing." I wanted to bring it up just to talk more about it."Yeah, and just in case you thought I was kidding, I am being dead serious. There is nothing that I can't handle when you are around."

Amy said."Yeah, and when I said I felt the same way, I am being serious. Really, I am." I saw Amy's hand scooting closer to mine. I mean, I'm not gonna pull my hand away because that would be a really dumb idea.

I just decided to keep it there, then when I realized it our hands finally touch. I just felt a certain feeling that I think we all know what I'm talking about here.

Then, the moment was ruined when the rest of our friends came back when they were waiting on us."Sonic, you said a minute, and we've been waiting for 7. Are you guys coming or not?" Knuckles asked impatiently."Yeah ping head, we're coming." As I got up I helped Amy off the ground.

We followed our friends into the woods. At the corner of my eye I saw Amy looking up at me while smiling. Just gave me a little idea.
