"Let me go!" Amy screamed from inside a cage.
"Keep quiet cupcake wouldn't want to combust. Besides I'm sure your precious hero will be here soon enough." Eggman said.
"Yeah and when he gets here you'll be sorry." Amy cried struggling to shift the bars.
"Oh yeah we all know how you can't survive without your hero, I bet he's enjoying this space and time off from having to baby sit. You know I wouldn't be surprised if he was purposely taking his time." Eggman replied.
Amy's fury halted briefly and she stopped trying to break from the cage.
"What do you mean?" Amy asked.
"Please like you haven't noticed. Surely you must realise what a burden you are becoming, you're the only one here because it's too easy. Sonic always has to come rescue you because you can't defend yourself; he always gets into trouble because he has to save you."
"I don't do it on purpose and it's not all the time and I help, Sonic says so." Amy said teary eyed.
"Oh and when does he say it, when you're sat in the backseat of Tails' plane, or when you've brought the real heroes some congratulatory snacks, or how about when you sat at the side lines rooting for your friends?"
"Stop it! I help and I can defend myself!" Amy shouted.
"Then how comes you can't get out of this cage by yourself. Look at you admit it Amy your pathetic, your nothing but a burden and the team would be better off without you, I'm sure that's what Sonic's thinking but he's just too nice to tell you." Eggman smirked.
"That's a lie; Sonic likes me being on the team he said so."
"Oh yeah he likes you on the team when your feeding him and fixing his wounds, but I'm sure he's regretting his decision now he has to come save you, a job he wouldn't have to do if you wouldn't have been there."
Amy started crying realises that Eggman was right, she was nothing but a waste of space and if she didn't buck up her ideas she would just get the team in more trouble than usual.
She also realised that Eggman might be right about Sonic; I mean he puts up and tolerates a lot of things and with all the times she was aware she was bothering him, and she must be top of the list. Plus although their relationship has improved she could never forget all the times he ran from her, forgot her date or just plain avoided her and gave her rude comments.
It was than she decided that she was gonna change and show Sonic that she didn't need help and she certainly wasn't a burden or a pain.
But first she had to get out.
She got up and started furiously smashing at the cage, still it wouldn't budge. However what she didn't notice was on one of Eggman's screens Sonic could be seen running towards the base. Eggman did notice.
Suddenly the cage let up and she was free. She looked confusingly toward Eggman who just opened a hatch in his base that lead her out and told her to go as he wasn't in the mood to watch her continue her tantrum.
Taking this opportunity she left.
"But remember what I said Amy, if you don't change Sonic will and it won't end well."
Amy looked from Eggman to her exit, sighed and turned back and started leaving.
But if Amy had hung around she would have realised that Eggman let her go just in time before Sonic came crashing in.
"Ah I was wondering when you'd get here." Eggman said.
"Where's Amy!" Sonic shouted not in the mood for conversation.
"I'm afraid you've missed her, why were you planning on being her big strong hero?" Eggman teased.
"What?" Sonic asked
"She's gone left a few seconds ago, turns out she doesn't need you, doesn't it just break your heart."
"This isn't funny Egghead, where is she?" Sonic said annoyed.
"I told you she's gone, claims she doesn't need you to look after her anymore, doesn't want you to think that she has to rely on you. Guess that ruins your plan" Eggman said.
"Huh? What plan?" Sonic asked.
"I'm sure you know. Your plan to be Amy's hero so she'll only ever love you and only ever want to be with you, and in return you get to ignore and act like you don't care while ensuring she still loves you. This of course resulting in Amy having a romantic overload when you finally confess your long term deep rooted but completely obvious feelings." Eggman said.
"That's not true." Sonic objected.
"Think what you think but everyone knows I'm right, like I said it's obvious, I'm sure they all talk about how blatant it is behind your back; probably have bets going on when you'll cave." Eggman replied.
"Whatever, no they don't!" Sonic said, but not sounding confident.
"Anyway don't you have to be somewhere, like tracking down your girlfriend?" Eggman said.
"She's not my girlfriend." Sonic replied before leaving.
Although on the way Sonic couldn't shake what Eggman said from his head. Had Amy really grown tired of him?
