Chapter 3: Amy's Shining Moment

Opera Populaire: Showtime

Later that night was Amy's big debut, and she really stunned the audience! She looked gorgeous in a long white strapless dress that showed off her curves and diamond barrettes in the shape of flowers clipped in her soft pink quills. Not only that, but her voice was a sweet sounding Soprano pitch that could project all around the Opera House. She sang:

Think of me

Think of me fondly, when

We've said goodbye

Remember me

Once in a while,

Please promise me you'll try

When you find,

That once again you long

To take your heart back,

And be free

If you ever find a moment,

Spare a thought for me

We never said

Our love was evergreen

Or as unchanging as the sea...

But if you can still remember,

Stop and think of me

Think of all the things

We've shared and seen,

Don't think about the things

Which might have been

Think of me

Think of me waking, silent

And resigned...

Imagine me, trying too hard to

Put you from my mind...

Recall those days,

Look back on all those times,

Think of the things

We'll never do...

There will never be a day when

I won't think of you

We never said

Our love was evergreen

Or as unchanging as the sea...

But please promise me,

That sometimes

You will think of me

Watching Amy from high up above in Box 5 was Sonic. "Brava!" he shouted to her, joining the rest of the audience in standing ovation. He knew there was something familiar about that pink hedgehog. He suddenly had a flashback, remembering sitting in an old dark attic with a small hot pink hedgehog, and they were telling each other scary stories while her father played the violin for them. He also remembered how much he loved her, even though they were so young. "Can it be Amy?" he gasped. It had to be. It IS! he thought. "I hope she remembers me, because I sure remember her!" Sonic hoped as he exited the theater.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After Amy's outstanding performance, backstage of the Opera Populaire beamed with excitement in celebration of a wonderful show. There was only one problem: Amy was nowhere to be found. Amy wandered away from the party and went into a small chapel-like room in the back of the Ballet Dormitory of the Opera House. She sat on the cold floor and lit candles next to a picture of her father and preyed, when suddenly she heard a strange voice sing from nowhere:

Brava…

Brava…

Bellisima…

Amy smiled and looked around the room to find the owner of the voice, but no one was there.

"Amy? Are you here?" she heard a familiar voice call. Cream skipped into the room with a relieved expression on her face, happy to have found her friend. "Where have you been? Well… I guess I already know the answer to that question… You did fantastic tonight Amy! I'm so proud of you! What's your secret? How did you learn to sing like that?" she asked, wishing she could sound like Amy.

"Cream, ever since your mother brought me here to live in the Ballet Dormitories, I would come in here and light a candle for my father. Every time I did, I heard a voice from above, and in my dreams. He was always there." Amy explained. "Before my father died, he told me that I would be protected by an angel… an Angel of Music." Amy timidly answered. "I think the angel is my father coaching me, because when I sing I can sense him; it's like he is right beside me…"

"So you believe that the ghost of your father is teaching you to sing?" Cream asked curiously.

"Who else Cream?" Amy questioned.

Cream gave Amy a concerned look and told her, "Amy you've never talked like this before. Stories like that can't come true; you must be dreaming. C'mon, let's get you back to your dressing room" Amy agreed and Cream took her hand, leading her out of the room.
