I think it's time for a little more Sonamy, don't you? :)

Chapter 6: Trust Me

"Sonic, honestly: what are our chances of finding Blaze again?" Amy asked him.

"I'd say they're pretty good," Sonic said. "If she has a Chaos Emerald, then we're bound to meet up with her again. Or at least Eggman is going to get involved. And if he does, we do."

She liked his logic, but Mobius was still a big place. Blaze could be anywhere. She bit her lip.

"But Sonic, what about the tear in the space-time continuum? It sounds like a big deal. And Tails didn't even seem to know-"

"Amy."

He said her name so tenderly that Amy had to stop. She looked up at Sonic, who had a half smile curving up his muzzle.

"Don't worry. Do you remember all the times it looked really bad and we got out of it? Space Colony ARK? Against Dark Oak? Against Metal Sonic? C'mon now," he grinned. "This is nothing compared to all that. We always find a way."

She knew he was right. How could he be so sure all the time? So unfazed? He was so completely carefree because he knew he could get the job done. Whatever it took. The word calm wasn't a word usually associated with Sonic, but Amy found it oddly fit. Maybe he couldn't stay still, but it wasn't from anxiety. Sonic was just never worried.

Amy realized she needed his confidence now. She needed his easygoing nature to balance out her own emotional nature. That was why their relationship worked out so well. She gave Sonic a squeeze.

"You're right, Sonic. I'm just a girl, I guess. We can't help but worry."

"Well, you don't have to worry anymore. Because you're with me now. You know I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Or any of us."

Amy felt the deep truth of his words, and it soothed her soul.

"Thanks, Sonic."

"Now smile, ok? You look much prettier that way," Sonic said as a blush crept up his muzzle.

Amy obliged. Sonic's grin (and blush) were absolutely infectious.

"There we go. Now, let's see if we can find Blaze, huh?"

Sonic kept running along, and the hedgehogs searched the terrain for a sign of her, but no dice.

"This isn't going to work," Amy said. "We need to get higher up."

"Ah, you're right. Crystal Mountain."

Our mountain, Amy thought.

Sonic did a 90 degree turn on a dime and headed for the mountains. He scaled them pretty easily and made his way to the peak of Crystal Mountain. At this altitude, you could see for days.

This was the spot. Where Sonic had finally told Amy how he felt and why he'd held back for so long. It was also where they shared their first kiss.

Amy couldn't help but tear up. She knew she should be looking for Blaze, but this meant so much to her romantic soul. She recalled Sonic saying those words, words she had so often dreamed of him saying to her:

"I told myself, maybe one day, when we were older, and when we finally defeat Eggman…I could finally settle down and we could be together."

"Ah, I see her!" Sonic said and took off again.

Amy frowned a little. Did Sonic not appreciate what this meant to her? Or maybe he didn't remember. But how could he not? No, Sonic just wasn't as sentimental and romantic as she was. Ah well. Maybe it was a good thing to not have two helpless romantics in a relationship.

It took less than 30 seconds for Sonic to catch up to Blaze. He stopped right in front of her, shocking the poor cat for the second time. He set Amy down and laughed.

"Ha ha, thought you got away from me, didn't you? Well, they don't call me Sonic for nothing!"

Blaze just blinked at him. Silver came floating down, looking puzzled.

"Blaze, do you know these two?"

Sonic and Amy eyed Silver. A flying hedgehog?

"I do know them, Silver." Blaze said.

"Hey now, we're not the bad guys," Sonic said. "We'd like to help you repair the tear in the space-time continuum."

Silver and Blaze eyed him. Tear in the space-time continuum? How did they know about that?

Suddenly it was awkward with the four of them just ogling each other and Amy took it upon herself to fix that. If they're going to trust us, then we have to be nice.

"I'm Amy," she said. "This is my boyfriend, Sonic. And you are?"

Silver blinked. "Uh, my name's Silver. Silver the Hedgehog."

"Nice to meet you. And you, Blaze," Sonic said. "So…I get the feeling you two aren't from around here."

"You're right," Silver said. "We got blasted here when the Sol Emeralds were stolen."

"Sol Emeralds?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah," Silver said, and turned to Blaze.

She felt uneasy about telling these two complete strangers her life story, but knew that they were in a quandary here. And some help wouldn't hurt.

"Yes," Blaze said. "The Sol Emeralds control things in our world. They were stolen from me, and their power was somehow used to create an explosion."

"That sounds like Chaos Control," Sonic said.

"Sonic, do you think that's what caused the tear Tails was telling us about?" Amy asked.

Sonic nodded. "Yeah. We gotta let everybody know about this. Amy, would you call Tails?"

She nodded and pulled out her wrist communicator, and then Sonic turned to Silver and Blaze.

"I know this is kinda sudden and we just met, but Tails said there's not much time before this starts turning bad. We'd like to help you. In fact, once we get the whole team together, we'll all work together to fix this."

"Team?" Silver asked.

"Yeah. Me, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, and Cream. We can handle anything."

Silver looked at Blaze. She looked a little uneasy at the prospect of meeting a bunch of new people. But what choice did they have? If these people were willing to help, why hinder them?

"Tails said Knuckles and Rouge may have found one of those Sol Emeralds," Amy said.

"What?" Blaze said, perking up a little.

Silver smiled a little. It had been decided.

"Well, then there's no time to waste," Sonic said. "You two ready?"

Blaze looked at Silver, and he nodded at her.

"Let's go," the cat said.
