Chapter 10 :)

PART1! ^/^

Amy jumped a bit from her stool, seeing a bunch of people around the food court looking at Red as she screamed at her phone.

"Why the Fuck? Why when something goes good? Why can't it be when something goes bad its for a good? Chaos!" Red almost tipped the table storming off down to the escalator, Amy soon trailing behind leaving the money for the food.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Amy touched Red's arm, but Red jerked her arm away and yelled.

"No! Cuz then that might go sour too!"

Amy didn't understand ANYTHING that was goin on... She wanted to help, honest, but she couldn't do so if Red wasn't allowing her to.

"Please, let me help."

"Oh NO! You've done TOO MUCH! The new house? Fantastic! The furniture? Terrific! The view? Abso-fuckin-lutely poso-fuckin-tively BEEEEAUTIFUL!"

Amy stood shocked as the escalator let Red stomp off to the parking lot, while Amy stood there, on the verge of tears.

'Had i really not given any thought to her at all? I need to know what happened! Oh, what should I do...' At this point she was crying, sitting on a bench in front of Sears. She needed some way to figure out Reds situation... Then it hit her, literally.

"Doll! Why do you look so glum? Was it SHADOW! I'LL MAKE EM PAY!" Rouge had came back with Knuckles carrying all the bags.

"Oh, Rouge... It's Red... She got a text from someone and she got EXTREMELY upset! I tried talking to her but then she said, really hurtful things, it really doesn't seem like her." Amy paused wiping her tears away with a napkin. "Rouge, I need you to find out. In turn, ill let you stay at my house. Deal?"

"Whoa. I don't... Id lie if I say that... DEAL!" They shook hands and they were off, Rouge went towards the parking lot and Knuckles and Amy went to the train station.

To:Shadow

Shady? I kinda got Red upset.. :( Idk how but I did and now she went somewhere, don't worry about that tho, when you get out of work, take the train to Emerald coast nd wait by the train, ill meet you there. I need a hug :'( :'(

And with that, Knuckles reassured Amy that Rouge wouldn't let her down.

"It isn't Rouge, its ... Red."

-with Rouge.-

'Ok, so far, whereabouts unknown as well as the reason for storming out. Will ask around for a red pup and report whatever findings every half hour.' Rouge thought to herself, mental notes helped at the moment seeing as Red could be as far as Mystic Ruins by now... But such thoughts were looked down on.

"Ok, from the parking lot, the exit is this way so let's start there." Rouge twitched her ears back and forth, trying to pick up Reds body wave but all was in vain. She asked the securities stationed around the parking lot and claimed to see the pup running past the bus stop, great another clue.

Rouge headed out of the parking lot and to the bus stop. 'Wait, she'll definitely see me in this outfit, time to change.' She took to the skies and traveled back to the mall, heading into a store. She quickly got a large hoodie, Not TOO baggy , but baggy jeans, and a red tanktop. She snatched a black hat with a bunny on it and paid let her government badge pay for it. She changed and removed her make up.
'Perfect, let's go!'

Off again she had to run since her wings were concealed by the hoodie. She got to the bus stop and asked people around and down the block for the red pup.

"Have you seen her?" "Sorry, I haven't."
"Seen her around?" "Nope."

"I'm about Ta just give up! This is pointless with out the government devices..." Rouge sat on a bench, arms folded across her face.

"Excuse me, Miss?" A young man had poked Rouges arm.

"Oh, pardon me! Did you want to sit?" "No, no! I wanted to ask about the girl you are looking for!"

"Oh, gosh! You know? Do you?" Rouge jumped up with hope in her eyes, 'this could be it!'

"I saw her heading into the subway not too long ago about five minutes... she was yelling at her phone too... I hope everything is ok with her." He nodded his head and bid her farewell.

"Yessssssss!" She ran as fast as she could to the subway which was about ten blocks away.

-with Knuckles and Amy.-

"Yea, it does suck that she doesn't have a phone but I stay faithful, I would wait for the world to end to be with her for a minute... I'd be happy."

"Awwwwww!" Amy squealed, pinching Knuckles' cheek, "That's so sweet!"

Knuckles saw Amy's eyes practically bounce with hearts.

"She likes when I tell her that sweet stuff..." He twitched his nose and his already red face burned redder.

"You guys have been together how long?" Amy asked.

"Two years in a month." Knuckles chuckled a bit and smiled. "I'm gonna ask her somethin important in a week or so."

"Oh my chaos, Tell MEH NAAOOO!" Amy practically pulled the fur off of his locks.

"Amy! Chaos! Calm down, you'll know like Rouge next week. Hahaha." He shoved her off of him and laughed.

"Aww, but I wanna know..."

"In due time, Amy. In due time."

"Rose! What happened are you ok? Have you found Red?" Shadow glided over to where they sat, panting.

"Shady, its like 4, you don't get out till 7. What happened?" Amy gasped, 'I didn't jynx it... I know I didn't!'

"..." Shadow looked down, slightly embarrassed, but then assured her. "It's nothing I wouldnt fix, its not a big deal, Rose."

Amy fidgeted with her quills, biting her lip, 'Nothing is going right today... Nothing at all.'

"Amy, look, ill explain later!" Shadow grabbed her shoulders and looked her in the eye. "Rose, I'm ok, nothing is going to change, now, we have to find Red."

Knuckles got up beside Shadow, but Amy never got up.

"Amy, he said he's fine!" Knuckles exclaimed concerned, "Amy, please?"

Amy stood silent, her best friend could be lost, Shadow might be out of a job, SHE might be out of a job if found out Amy lost his daughter! No money, no rent money. No rent money, no house. No house, the streets, POVERTY! Too much to take in, so little time.

Knuckles hauled her up and pulled her along, Shadow behind her so she wouldn't fall.

'Sorry, Amy. But we can't ponder now. Red needs us.' Knuckles looked at his feet, pulling Amy along.
