Chapter Five: Helping Hand
Back with Amy, she was still on the ground crying.
"Oh, Sonic. What's happened to you? Whatever happened there, that was not Sonic doing that to me. He would never hurt me." Amy whimpered.
Amy walked towards the cliff, and stared into the horizon.
"Here I thought things were going to be wonderful. But there's always something that gets in the way of everything. Why can't life be easy for a change? Why does life never turn out to be the way I want it? I finally get Sonic all to myself, just for him to slip away from my grasp once again?" Amy falls to the ground, tears flowing from her eyes.
"I only wish that there was something that I could do to save Sonic. But I don't feel strong enough to do this. Not alone anyway. I'll definitely need help for this." Amy thought.
Amy got out her cellphone, and sent a text to four different people. Tails, Knuckles and Shadow. They were the only people she knew that was capable of helping in this situation.
Guys, there's trouble! Scourge was here fighting with Sonic, and his airship shot a laser of some kind at him. I don't know what the laser was, but whatever it was, it's changed Sonic. He hurt me only a little, but he didn't mean to. He's ran away, and I have absolutely no idea who else to turn to, but you guys. Please help me, and help Sonic!
- Amy Rose
Amy finished typing the text, and sent it to them. Amy remained sitting where she was, still with eyes filled with tears, and thinking about Sonic.
"I sure hope we can help you, Sonic. I can't imagine how my future would be if you're not in it with me. I'd have no reason to live. Why couldn't I have been strong enough to help you? I wish I weren't so weak." Amy sobbed.
"Oh, how I miss the good old days. All those adventures me and you have been on. From when we first met on Little Planet, up till now." Amy stated, as she dreams about the past.

(Amy singing)
I need to know why
You're leaving this to die
Without blinking your eyes
And now that you need time
I hope you'll be fine
.
If you could only see
Like you have before
You've become imprisoned
Could I reopen this door?
.
(Flashback)
Amy was eight years old, and strolling around Little Planet. Until one day, she came apron a blue hedgehog. She then approached him.
"Hello!" Amy called.
The blue hedgehog turned around to face Amy.
"Um, hello." he said.
"What is your name? My name is Amy! Amy Rose. Some people call me Rosy the Rascal!" she giggled.
"Yeah, I see why." he stated quietly.
"So, what's your name?!" She asked impatiently.
"It's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." he replied.
Amy's eyes filled with hearts.
"Sonic the Hedgehog! What a hunk he is!" Amy thought.
.
(Amy singing)
You say this doesn't matter
Please tell me what does
And how this isn't what
You were thinking of
You say this isn't easy
Please tell me what was
It was never worth this pain
Can you believe this was
.
When life was living
It's why life keeps giving
To us
.
(Second Flashback)
"Sonic, hello! Long time no see!" Amy called out.
Sonic then turned around, and noticed Amy.
"Ah, Amy!" Sonic nervously said.
Amy walked closer to him.
"What's the matter with you, Sonic?! You're acting like you've never seen me before!" Amy told him.
"Nothing, I'm busy, you just startled me! Anyway, what do you want?" Sonic asked.
Amy was holding a tiny bird in her hand.
"Well, I just wanted to ask a favour. You see, this birdie is in trouble, and needs protection. So I thought maybe you could be his bodyguard for a while." Amy explained.
"What?! Are you being serious right now?!" Sonic asked while disturbed by this.
"Well, even if you refuse, me and him will just tag along with you anyway!" Amy teased.
"Yeah, I'll pass on that! See you later!" Sonic escaped.
"HEY, SONIC!" Amy called.
.
(Amy singing)
Once this was in mind
Turning in this time
And once was true
We were friends
But something is gone from this
Picture of our life
.
If we could have just seen
Like we have before
We've become imprisoned
Could we reopen this door?
.
(Third Flashback)
"Created, the Ultimate Lifeform." Sonic wondered, while looking into space.
Amy noticed Sonic, and walked towards him.
"Sonic? Are you OK?" Amy asked.
Sonic turned around to face her.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." Sonic replied.
"What's wrong, Sonic? You look confused about something." Amy asked again.
"No, really, I'm fine. It's nothing. Nothing at all." Sonic replied again.
"Oh, well , as long as you're OK." Amy stated.
"Well, anyway, let's go home, huh? To the planet as cool, and blue as me!" Sonic said cheerfully.
Amy just nodded, and smiled at Sonic.

(Forth Flashback)
"Sonic, this is a bracelet I've made to protect you from the water." Amy told him, holding a bracelet made of seashells. Sonic looked on in surprise.
"Whoa! You made it for me?" Sonic asked.
"Yep. And if you wear it, it will bring you good luck." Amy explained.
"Really?" Sonic wondered.
Amy just smiles at him. But Sonic stood there in shock, as he saw that Amy dedicated herself to make Sonic a good luck charm.
Sonic was sitting by a beach, and he sneezed.
"Sonic, you've got to stay out of the water!" Sonic though.
But he changed from being sarcastic, to being very serious. He stands up, and looks at the bracelet on his wrist that Amy made for him. It was previously destroyed in a battle with Eggman, but he fixed it. Sonic smiles warmly.
"But with this, I shall try my best to never be scared of water again. Thank you for this present, Amy. I'll forever cherish this, and wear it, always." Sonic said to himself.
.
(Amy singing)
Our hope's now vanished from your eyes
You're the real faith and our truth
There is a reason to get through
And you're how I knew there's a reason
.
If we could have just seen
Like we have before
We've become imprisoned
Could we reopen this door?
.
(Fifth Flashback)
"Don't ever forget about me, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Amy pleaded.
Amy sobbed for a while, and then she looked and saw Sonic directly in front of her. He was holding a flower in front of her. Sonic winks at her.
"Don't you worry, Amy. I never will." Sonic told her.
.
(Amy singing)
You say this doesn't matter
Please tell me what does
And how this isn't what
You were thinking of
You say this isn't easy
Please tell me what was
It was never worth this pain
Can you believe this was
.
Flashbacks end in Amy's mind, and she cries uncontrollably.

When life keeps living
That's what life keeps giving
To us
.
Amy still cries, and places both hands on her chest, where her heart is.
.
(Amy singing)
To us
.
To us
.
Keep on living
Oh
.
After that, Amy carried on crying uncontrollably. What will happen now?
