Saori's Pov
It was early in the morning; I had woken up early to find out exactly what my manager Fred was up too. I got out of bed, cleaned up and got dressed. I headed over to the café first to see if what he said was true and it was the café was indeed closed but he was still inside. I peeked inside and saw him shuffling together some paper work, he then grabbed then all up and shoved them into a manila folder and shoved the folder into a portfolio before grabbing his cane and heading toward the door. I quickly dodged behind a nearby bush and concealed myself perfectly from sight as he left.
I remembered that yesterday he told me that he was heading to city hall today but for what reason I had no idea but I felt in my heart it had something to do with Amy because he said something awfully strange yesterday.
Flashback
"Look at that Mr. Rose that is true love right there." Saori replied
"It sure is and I don't want him to leave her behind when he leaves." Fred replied
"What do you mean?" Saori asked
"Saori the shop will be closed tomorrow so you can take the day off I have to go to city hall to get a few things taken care of." Fred replied
"Yes sir, are you gonna tell Amy?" Saori replied and asked as Fred nodded.
End of Flashback
"That's right he said he was going to city hall today but for what I better follow and see what's going on." Saori thought
I was careful not to be seen or heard by Mr. Rose I had a few foul up's where he was close to finding gout of was following him like running into a fruit stand or a drink machine but I managed to play it off and hide behind things when he turned around to see what it was.
It wasn't long till he arrived at city hall and went inside. I wanted to follow inside but I was afraid of being seen by him, but then I was struck with inspiration. I saw a nearby business dress store and went inside and purchased a good looking business outfit and with a few make-up tricks I made myself look like a regular employee at city hall and entered into the building.
Upon entering I saw Mr. Rose at a desk with a woman talking and looking close at her name tag her name was Brenda. I couldn't hear them but then I a noticed a set of chairs near her desk that were in listening range so I walked over there with a stack of papers and pretended to be filling out some paper work and started to listen to their conversation as Mr. Rose slid her the paper work
"Alright Mr. Rose everything seems to be in order here, but I see that the new custody holder has not signed the paper what's going on can't you find someone to care for the girl?" Brenda asked
"Listen there is no other relatives to take her." Fred replied
"Sir as I have received from your doctor your condition has gotten worse and you don't have much time left to dawdle you need to find someone to care for Ms. Rose." Brenda said
"Listen I can't find any other relative but what if my granddaughter has a boyfriend who is willing to take care of her can I somehow hand over custody to him?" Fred asked
"Well is he of Japanese nationality?" Brenda asked
"No, he's American but he love's my granddaughter and has talked to me about taking her with him to America." Fred replied
"Is he talking permanent with visitation right back here or temporary?" Brenda asked
"He's talking permanent with visitation." Fred replied
"Hmm then this might take a bit longer cause if he wants to take her there permanently she's gonna need a green card or American status proof and we can get that done but it might take a bit longer than just signing over custody." Brenda explained
"How long we talking?" Fred asked
"About 2-3 months but you have to get uh who's your granddaughter's boyfriend?" Brenda asked
"Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog." Fred answered
"Wait are you telling me that your granddaughter is dating a world renowned hero and not just any hero Sonic The Hedgehog?" Brenda asked
"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Fred asked
"No this could work in your favor cause if you get him to sign the paper work I'm about to give you she could have American status is as little as 1 month's time cause of his status in America." Brenda explained
"Very well then I will get it done and bring the paper work back to you tomorrow and I'll hold you to getting your part done." Fred replied
"Thank you so much Brenda for all you are doing I'll see you tomorrow." Fred said as he shook her hand and left with the paper work.
"So that's what's going on but what could be wrong with Mr. Rose that he has to find someone to care for Amy so bad." Saori thought
I got up and went to the restroom ditched my disguise and ran outside of the building to wait for the perfect moment I needed to talk to Mr. Rose. About five minutes later he exited the building with the same folder he entered with as I made myself known to him.
"Hi Mr. Rose." Saori greeted
"Oh, hi there Saori what are you doing here?" Fred asked
"Oh just out and about since you gave me the day off and everything what about you?" Saori replied and asked
"Oh just getting a few things taken care of for Amy." Fred replied
"Mr. Rose I was just in there you don't have to lie to me what's going on why do you need for someone to care for Amy so bad?" Saori asked
"You're a very smart girl Saori you could see right through me, come back to the café with me and I'll tell you the whole story." Fred said as he and Saori headed back to the café.
With Sonic and Amy
Sonic and Amy decided to go to the water park for a day of fun in the sun. Amy was wearing a two piece bikini with a see through sarong that could be removed. She and Sonic were in the pool playing in the water. Sonic got out while Amy was under water swimming when she came up for air.
"Sonikku wait for me." Amy shouted to get his attention
"Hurry up or you won't get any ice cream." Sonic ordered
"Ah no fair just wait." Amy replied as she swam over to the ladder and started to climb out as Sonic offered his hand to help her out. She put on her sarong as they headed over to the ice cream stand where Amy got a vanilla ice cream cone and Sonic got a chocolate milkshake. They sat down at a nearby table and started to enjoy their frozen treat.
"Hey Amy?" Sonic started
"Yeah what is it?" Amy asked as Sonic laughed
"There's ice cream on your cheek." Sonic answered
"You don't have to laugh so loud it's not that funny." Amy said
"I'm sorry you just look so cute I couldn't help it." Sonic commented
"Really you think I'm cute?" Amy asked
"I think you're more than cute you're absolutely beautiful." Sonic replied as Amy giggled and blushed
"Hey Amy after you're done what say we hit the volleyball court to help our little snack digest then you're going on the high dive with me okay." Sonic explained
"Well volleyball I'm down for but the high dive I'm not so sure cause even though I'm not scared of heights I've never really dived before." Amy said
"Trust me it will be fun come on let's go play volleyball." Sonic replied as he pulled Amy up from her chair and they ran towards the volleyball court and got an awesome game of volleyball started.
Ten minutes into the game and Amy was winning. She was beating Sonic with her awesome skills until Sonic caught up and it was now tied between the two of them.
"Alright Amy this decides it all." Sonic said
"Bring it on baby." Amy taunted
"Alright you asked for it." Sonic taunted back as he served the ball really hard only for Amy to return it even harder, they were going at back and forth until Sonic started to stumble and lost his touch on the ball as it headed over to Amy's side she then jumped into the air and returned the ball with force as it sailed and hit Sonic in the head. He let out a pained grunt as he hit the ground. Amy did a victory dance before throwing up a piece sign as Sonic rubbed his head.
"Hey you okay baby?" Amy asked
"Yeah I'm cool, well you ready to try the high dive, too late take that as a yes." Sonic replied as he grabbed Amy and headed over to the high dive. When the got there Sonic made Amy climb the ladder so she wouldn't try to run and back out of it. They soon reached the top as Amy looked down.
"Sonic I'm seriously not sure about this." Amy replied as Sonic pushed her to the edge and she resisted.
"Come on this is nothing." Sonic reassured
"No you better not push me." Amy stated as Sonic pushed her and she fell feet first down into the water screaming all the way as Sonic dived right behind her landing with his arms out in front of him. Making a perfect entry splash he resurfaced quickly looking for Amy.
"Yoo-hoo, Amy where are you baby?" Sonic asked looking for her when he felt a poke at his back he turned around and saw Amy's eyes sticking out of the water looking angry.
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad baby there's no need to be angry." Sonic said as Amy raised her head out of the water with her cheeks filled with water and spit it out at Sonic.
"I'm so going to get you for that. Sonic replied as Amy took off through the water with Sonic behind her as they were swimming chasing each other until Sonic caught Amy and pulled her underwater with as he they shared a kiss before they came back up for air. Amy then headed toward the ladder and got out of the water.
"Amy you're bathing suit's rolled up in the back, I can see your butt." Sonic said as Amy covered herself from sight as he got out behind her.
"Sonic I'm getting a little tired can we go back to your place?" Amy asked
"Sure thing let's go and change and get out of here." Sonic answered as they headed into their separate changing rooms and came back out fully clothed and soon left and headed back to his place.
With Saori and Fred
They arrived back at the café as Fred let both himself and Saori in before locking the door back up. Saori went in back and made a pot of coffee and soon came back with a cup for her and a cup for Fred.
"Alright Mr. Rose I'm all ears." Saori said
"Okay it goes back to when Amy's mother was alive; I know I told you and many others that she died of a fatal disease but that was just a cover Amy's mother was killed." Fred explained as Saori gasped
"By who?" Saori asked
"If that news shocked you this will shock you even worse her father killed her mother and he acted like I didn't know." Fred explained
"You see my daughter was born with a weak heart the doctors thought it would get stronger as she grew older but they were wrong it got worse so bad to the point where she had to live with a pace maker in her heart, after that I thought everything would be fine I mean she got married had a strong hearted baby girl but I was wrong dead wrong." Fred continued
"You see having Amy made her pace maker have to work double time cause the birth made her heart weaker and there were times when her pace maker would malfunction and she had to be hospitalized while it was repaired she would then be hooked up to a heart monitor and a hospital pace maker that would cause her to be bed ridden and made to stay in the hospital." Fred stopped to sip his coffee.
"What happened then?" Saori asked sipping her coffee
"Well it was costing her family so much money with all her mother's hospital stays and fee's I thought everything was okay, I mean sure they were having financial trouble and Amy couldn't have a lot but they were surviving and dealing with it so I thought, one day when my daughter was hospitalized cause of her ailment I had Amy out and about and we were having fun until I got a phone call telling me to come to the hospital immediately, I grabbed my grandbaby and rushed to the hospital, when I got there I saw them wheeling my daughter out of her room and into surgery. When I got there they had my daughters husband in custody and I asked why he was handcuffed they said he unplugged her pace maker and said to the doctor to let her die it was costing him too much money to keep her alive." Fred finished
"So he killed her that's horrible." Saori said slamming her fist's on the counter
"I then took custody of Amy while he was imprisoned for life for murder, it was hard to see my Amy cry after seeing her mother put into the ground, it took years for my granddaughter to get over losing her mother but now she a strong young lady but back to why I need someone to care for her it's simple I'm old and I won't be around forever and I want to be sure that she is taken care of, provided for when I leave this world." Fred explained
"Well that explains a lot and all but why Sonic?" Saori asked
"Saori do you remember what you said to me yesterday?" Fred asked
"Yeah that Amy and Sonic have true love what about it?" Saori replied and asked
"True love is hard to come by and I refuse to let my grandbaby lose it." Fred answered
"Well I'm glad you're trusting Sonic with this so what does he have to do?" Saori asked
"Just sign some papers so that Amy can be given a green card and all will be ready my granddaughter will be well taken care." Fred replied
"Ok that's all I wanted to know, thanks for keeping me involved and I hope everything works out for you, well it's getting late I better be turning in." Saori said
"Okay see you tomorrow for work Saori." Fred said
"Bye Mr. Rose see you tomorrow." Saori replied as she left for home. As Fred proceeded to make a phone call.
With Sonic and Amy
Sonic and Amy were fast asleep in each other's arms. Sonic was holding Amy tight in his arms as if she were going to leave his grip, when the sound of his cell phone ringing could be heard. He heard it ringing and broke his embrace on Amy to answer it.
"Hello?" Sonic asked
"Sonic it's me Fred I need to talk to you are you busy?" Fred replied and asked
"Well not really I was just sleep is all." Sonic stated
"I'm sorry for waking you but this is important and it can't wait." Fred replied
"All right I'll wake Amy and we'll be on our way." Sonic stated
"No let her sleep we need to talk man to man." Fred said
"Okay I'm on my way." Sonic stated as he hung up and threw on his shirt and jacket and soon was out the door and headed to the café wearing only his pajama pants shirt and a jacket cause it was a little chilly outside. At the rate he drove he arrived at the café in no time flat where he knocked on the door and Fred let him in as he and Fred sat a table.
He then told Sonic the exact same story that he told Saori earlier about what really happened to her mother and why he had custody of Amy.
"Well I'm glad you told me all that but what does that have to do with me."
"Well Sonic as you can see time is slowly taking its toll on me and I fear I may not be around for much longer, well let me just cut to the chase remember when you said you wanted to take Amy with you to America?" Fred replied and asked as Sonic nodded
"Well you can do it all you have to do is sign this here paper, and in about a month's time she will receive her green card and be an American citizen all I need is your signature." Fred explained sliding Sonic the paperwork and pen.
"Fred why are we doing this so quick?" Sonic asked
"Because Sonic you've shown me in such a short amount of time that you truly care for Amy and want to be with her and well I just want to be sure she'll be taken good care of when I leave this world and I feel I can trust you to look after her for me." Fred explained
"Fred be honest with me are you suffering from a disease or something reason why we are being hasty please you were already honest with me about her parents please for god's sake be honest with yourself." Sonic ordered
"I have diabetes, it's been slowly eating away at me and well the last time I went to the doctor they told me I have a maximum amount of 12 years left to live and that was over 6 years ago, I only have 6 years left to live and I just want to be sure she's cared for please don't deny my request Sonic, take Amy with you." Fred explained and pleaded with Sonic as he signed the paper work.
"Fred she will be taken care of you can take that bit of worry off your soul." Sonic stated
"Thank you Sonic I knew I could depend on you." Fred stated as he and Sonic shook hands and he left headed back to his place. He entered inside to find Amy sitting on the couch watching TV
"Oh you're awake." Sonic stated
"Yeah, I woke up and didn't feel you beside me anymore nor did I feel your arms around me so I woke up to look for you and I couldn't find you I looked outside and saw your car gone and decided to wait up for you." Amy explained
"You were worried about me?" Sonic asked
"A little bit." Amy replied
"Ah there was no need to worry I was just taking care of a little business you're grandpa called me and needed to talk to me so I just went to have a chat with him." Sonic explained
"Oh okay then what say we head back to bed." Amy stated as she headed back to the bedroom
"Right behind you babe." Sonic finished as he followed Amy back to the back and they soon crawled back under the sheets and into their love embrace and back to sleep.
