Despite the constant pains that aroused during the night, she slept fitfully. She woke up at eight, laid there staring at the ceiling, and wishing she could go run around outside. She looked over at the table next to her and was surprised to see a laptop. Figured you'd want this back, was the note that had been taped to the front. She opened it, plugged in the charger, and typed.

A soft knock at the door jerked her out of her zone, "Come in."

Sonic walked in the door, "Amy's making breakfast, want some?"

"Sure!" she exclaimed, "But...I'm not supposed to get out of bed."

He winked, "Don't worry. We'll bring it up."

He left the room and returned a minute later, carrying a large tray of breakfast food, "Thanks, Sonic," she said, digging in.

"No problem," he replied, leaving again.

She swallowed a mouthful of eggs and looked out the window. The day was perfect for running. Blue skies, bright sun, and a slight breeze. She sighed, ate the rest of her food, and then went back to writing.

"Kayla? You seemed lonely," the little rabbit said walking in the room, "So me and Cheese picked you flowers."

"Chao!" a little chao said.

"Thank you," she said gratefully, "I love flowers."

Cream held out a small daisy crown, "We made this for you."

She bent her head and let the small rabbit put it on her head, "Can you hand me a mirror?" she asked.

Cream handed her one, "It looks really pretty!"

She held up the mirror and grinned widly, "It's beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like it," Cream said happily, "So why were you staying with Dr. Eggman?"

She bit her lip, "I don't know. He just came to my house one night and convinced me he was my uncle...but I can't remember anything before that."

"Maybe Eggman took your memory away," she suggested.

"Or maybe it's not her memory at all," a dark voice interupted.

They both jumped and Shadow folded his arms, "You think Eggman gave me a false memory?" she asked nervously.

"Most likely," he said.

"It does sound like something Eggman would do," Cream admitted, "But why?"

"He might have figured I'd know that he was lying," she suggested.

"Or maybe he didn't take you," Shadow said.

"What do you mean?"

"He probably created you."

"Like professor Robotnik created you?" Cream asked.

"Yes."

She shuddered, "So..."

"He probably used professor Robotnik"s notes," Shadow went on, "So you were probably created to help him take over the world."

She paled, "But I would never do that! I-I can't!"

"That was the problem," Shadow finished.

"I-i-I am supposed to be evil?" she asked fearfully.

"Yes, but you're not."

"So, you're not going to take me away?"

"No."

She relaxed a little, "Then, that's why he tried to kidnap me."

"Yes. He probably figured out how to make you evil."

"Then, I'm still dangerous?"

"It depends on how you look at it."

"I don't think you're dangerous," Cream interupted, "I think that you're really nice and our friend."

"Thanks Cream," she said gratefully.

She looked back to where Shadow had been, but he was gone, "He's not very social," Cream explained.

"Oh," she lowered her gaze, "Cream, about what you just said. What if Eggman does make me evil?"

Cream didn't look up from the flowers she was twirling together, "Sonic wouldn't let that happen and even if it did, we wouldn't give up until you were back to your real self."

She blinked, "Really?"

"Yes."

"Thank you," she muttered, looking back out the window.

Aw...Cream's so cute. Read the next chapter and review if you agree ;). ~tfflv
