The thoughts passing through her mind that moment were indescribable. The pain she secretly went through each day. She could never forget what she had done. Awarded for bravery, she was not brave at all. If anything she was a coward. But she couldn't turn down a fight, never again. Run up for a fight if anything. Stand her ground, stay strong. The same thought kept passing through her mind. If my mind was there, I could have stopped it.

She was snapped back into reality when sonic tapped her on the shoulder.

"Something pressing on you're mind?" He said

Lucy nodded "it's not anything new… it's always been bothering me..."she sighed

Sonic nodded. "Come on, I want to show you something."

He led her out the door, into the front garden. Sonic grabbed her hand and started to pick up a running pace.

"What are you doing?" Lucy asked.

"We'll get there faster if we run."

"I don't run… not anymore."

Sonic stopped, let go of her hand, and turned around.

"Then I'll carry you." he said.

Lucy looked at him with surprise all over her face. "R-really? I mean… why?"

"Because I want to show you something and we're not going to get anywhere just standing here." He said, almost sarcastically.

Lucy laughed and allowed Sonic to pick her up in his arms. She sat there in his arms, bridal style, gazing up at the sky.

"You ready?" asked Sonic.

"As I'll ever be." joked Lucy.

Sonic took off and the wind blew through each of their bangs. Lucy looked up at sonic through the wind that was blowing in her face; sonic looked down into her eyes.

"If I'm going to fast, just tell me and I'll slow down." he said.

"I'm fine…" she sighed.

The expression on her face had Sonic taken aback. He slowed down, so that there was no wind to shout over.

"What's on your mind?" he asked.

"Never mind it's nothing special…"

"If you say it's been bothering you for a while, it has to be something big."

"Well… it kind of is…"

"You can tell me…we're nearly there anyway."

Sonic sped up, and ran up a hill. He stopped at the top and gently put Lucy down on the grass. She flicked her hair out of her eyes and began twisting her fringe. Sonic knelt down beside her. He tilted her head towards his face and looked deep into her eyes.

"Whatever it is, you can tell me. You can trust me, right?"

"I'm sorry … I don't really want to talk about it…" murmured Lucy

Sonic nodded. And sat down on the grass beside her.

Lucy was deep in thought again. She had her eyes closed. The only image that kept popping into her mind was a light blue hedgehog with messed up bangs. He looked like he had come from a battle. All he did was constantly shake his head at her. Suddenly the hedgehog put his hand out to her, as if to help her up. She was just about to take his had when a cold breeze snapped her out of her thoughts.

"c-cloud?" she stuttered. Panic was all over her face. She was constantly looking around her, in the attempt to see the hedgehog again.

"Are you ok?" asked sonic.

"Huh? D-did s-someone go by here? Just n-now?" she stuttered.

"No… we're the only ones here."

"n-no… he was here! I-I felt it!"

"No ones here. Don't worry about it." he said calmy. He took her hand to comfort her.

"Sonic… are you sure no one came by?" she said with a serious face.

"I swear it"

"Oh…good" she said, but she didn't smile.

She settled back down again. Her mind was racing.

How could I have seen him, when he's dead?

She was just about to start daydreaming again, when she realised that Sonic hadn't showed her anything like he said.

"Sonic?"

"Yeah?" he murmured.

"What did you want to show me?"

"Take a look around."

She stood up and looked around. Her face looked shocked but happy. Why hadnt she seen it sooner? She was surrounded by beautiful flowers of every variety thinkable.

"It's amazing!" she smiled down at Sonic.

"I thought you'd like it." He smirked.

"Thank you sonic!" she ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"No problem." He smiled his signature cocky grin and gave her the thumbs up.
