'-This'll be from Amys POV only.-'

I broke away from the kiss. I had to breathe. It was a comfortable kiss, it had its meaning but oxygen was required.

I cleared my throat and giggled. He grabbed me around my waist and gently bit my ear. I twitched my ear furiously, making it slap into his nose until he began tickling me.

"Ah! Hahaha, Silver! Hahahahaa!" He makes me fall flat on the bench, him above me, tickling my sides and neck.

"Aww, you ticklish? How about here?" He growled and resumed tickling me. I blushed. From loss of oxygen.

"Ahh I can't breathe!" I fussed more, pushing my hands against his body.

"Seriously?" He jumped back, his legs parted at my hips and I leaned up. The position was embarrassing, sure, but I focused more on breathing.

"Ah, that hurts." I rubbed my throat. From the corner of my eye, I noticed how he sat above, well... More like on me (you get the idea) and slowly traced his figure up to his face. I blushed a bit from embarrassment and looked to him completely.

"Sorry, Amy... I got caught up... Hehehe." He twiddled his fingers and slouched. He looked down and noticed how he sat as well. "Ah... Iiimmmm sorryy ..." In a single movement he moved off me, sitting straighter and looking down.

"Eh, its ok. -cough- ow... Hey, shouldn't we be heading back to the shuttle? Before it leaves us? Haha." I grab his hand and look into his eyes.

"Oh that's right. Cmon then." He got up and walked by my side. We headed down the same path we took to get to HighRise and down the main road passing my boutique. The dimmed lights used as street lamps made the area and water look mystified and hidden, gorgeous. But that also meant you had a bit of a difficulty seeing.

I knew around my shop well so when I looked at the large sign that had a puddle with pink petals falling into it, I knew where we were and when to we were turning I stepped on something circular, making me twist my ankle and rub against it missing the floor and falling into the water.

"Silv-!" I plunged head first into the water, swallowing a bit of unexpected water and oil from the,... Robot parts? The oil and parts threatened to blurry my vision and burn my eyes. I kept them shut, scared out of my mind.

Just then I felt a pull on my arms, and through my eyelids a bright light. I soon resurfaced, gasping for air and coughing out the taste of oil.

"Amy! Are you ok? Amy!" Silver rubbed my eyes and patted my back. I felt like I was drowning while breathing. "I have to get you help..."

I lifted my finger pointing at my shop, coughing hoarsely.

"Whatever I can get!" He lifted me bridal style and hovered to the door, pounding on it. "Please help me! Please! She needs help!"

"Why are you banging? It's, like, closed!" The mouse with a pink bow on her right ear squeaked. "OHEMGEE! AMY! LENA, BARB, TIFF! IT'S AMY!"

Silver ran into the boutique, "Pleaseplease! Pleaseeee help her!" The brown hedgehog took me from Silver and brought me to the back with Barb.

"Tell me what happened, dude!" The blonde squirrel took a hold of Silvers soaked arm.

"There was some... I-I don't know ... Metal? On the floor outside and she fell in. Chaos, I'm so scared. She couldn't speak!" Silver put his hands on his face.

"Don't worry, kid. Amys a fighter. She won't give up." Jamey the little mouse piped up.

"Omigosh, did you, like, jump in after her?" The blonde squirrel Tiff took her hand from Silvers arm and noticed the similar oil.

"Uh, yea." Silver patted his arm and saw the oil on his glove. "I don't care about me, I wanna know how Amy is."

"Dude! Amys with Lena-"

"What's that supposed to mean? Are they planning a shopping trip or to meet Justin Bieber?" He clenched his teeth and glared at Tiff, who simultaneously shrank beside herself.

"Hey, Buddy! Stop biting, Tiffanys head off. She's, like, making sure you don't worry." Lena came out with oil stained towels.

"You. Are you Lena? How's Amy. Tell me!" Silver stepped over to Lena and grasped her hands.

"Calm down, lover boy."

"Amy?" Silvers ears shot up to see Me. I wasn't looking my best, I was forced to throw up almost everything in my stomach, they pumped it and gave me water and juice to drink.

"Amy.. God, I'm so sorry! I shoulda flew us there. I'm so sorry." He pushed past Barb and held me up in his arms. Drops of hot liquid fell on my head and trailed down my face.

'Oh my god, he's crying..' I thought. I tried picking up my arms but I still felt numb. "Silver... It's ok, really."

I felt him cringe at the sound of my voice. I sounded dry and ragged like a smoker.

"Lena said I'd sound like -cough-this for a couple days. No bi-ggie.I have a sprai-ned ankle, too. -cough-." With one final attempt, I raised my arms and wrapped them along his waist, the highest I could go.

"I don't care. You're safe thanks to them, and I owe them an apology." Silver picked me up bridal style and faced the girls. "Tiff, I'm sorry for yelling at you, I must thank you all so much for helping Amy. I am beyond grateful."

"Eh, no problem. But try and bite our heads off. Yours'll be next!" Lena grinned, nodding.

"Understood." Silver chuckled. "I wish we could stay, honestly, but our shuttle to the "Home" planet leaves shortly. So we must be on our way."

With that he hovered through the open door and to the sky, heading for the shuttle.

"Wait! Give her this medicine!" Lena called from the door. She tossed up the medicine at us and Silver caught it psychokinetically. "And keep her leg elevated!"

"Thanks again!" Silver smiled and flew off faster.

"Tiff, Jamey..."

"Yes, Barb?"

"...clean up outside..." Barbs eyes sparked little flames.

"R-right away!" They chuckled nervously and grabbed mops and buckets.

...

"How you doing, Amy?" Silver hugged me as we continued flying to the terminal.

"I'm ok, Silver." I looked up smiling at him. "You know... I told them I wouldn't be in..-cough-.. that I was taking care... Of a relative. -cough-." My throat felt BEYOND scratchy... I tried swallowing but it didn't help.

"Oh, Amy... I'm really sorry... Wait.. what relative?" He looked ahead puzzled.

I simply poked his chest.

"Why would I ..? Ooh... Gotcha... Look Amy there it is!" I slowly turned my head to see the terminals shuttle lights and ours anchored at the far right.

"Yay..." I smirked slightly, as I was interrupted by a cough. "Ech..."

"Lena gave me this medicine... I'll give you some when we get home. Ok? I promise I'm gonna take care of you." Silver flew down by the shuttle, opening it and gliding inside.

"Oh, Silver... Thank you." I couldn't cuddle his chest because it was drenched in water and oil. "We need to -cough- bathe when we get home first. -cough-."

"Oh, Hahaha Agreed."

"Take off to "Home" planet in T minus 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8, 7-"

"Hold on, Amy." He sat me in the seat to his left and buckled me in. He got up and shut the shuttles door and quickly sat down.

"-3,2,1. Buckle up."

...

By the time we got home, it was 11:20. It gotten chilly and I had a bit of trouble breathing, but i heard Silver try his hardest to run to our home.

"Do you have you keys?"

I pulled them from my back pocket and handed them to him. -cough, cough-.

"Hold on, Amy. I'll get you cleaned up." Silver unlocked the door and ran me upstairs to my room.

"Silver... -cough-, you should change. I-I got this. -cough-." I stood up on my good foot and limped to my dresser, gettin my pjs and my towel.

"Amy, are you sure? I don't want you to get hurt! ...again..." He whispered that last thing so I couldn't really hear him.

"-cough- I got this." I looked back smiling at him. "Now, go clean up. -cough-. And get some sl-sleep."

He kissed and held my waist. "I love you, Amy."

"I love you, too. -cough-" I hopped to my bathroom door and watched as Silver left so I could shower.

'He's so nice... He's stubborn, but its for a good cause ^.^' I leaned on the edge of the sink, and started stripping the oily, wet clothes from my oily, matted fur.

"This is so disgusting! -cough-" I peeled my halter top off and dropped it to the floor with a splat. "Ech..."

Once my clothes were off, I turned on the hot water and hopped in slowly. Lathering my bath scrunchy, I scrubbed at my arms and shoulders, watching as the thnk slid down my body to the drain. 'Ewwww' I continued scrubbing my shoulders to my breast, stomach and private area. I had to wash the scrunchy again, too much oil...

After finishing off my body I took shampoo and lathered my quills and rinsed. I washed the top of my ears and around the inside. I put conditioner in my quipped and pushed my fingers through them to untangle them. Rinsing off my body and hair one last time, I shut the water off and pulled back the curtain. I saw a white figure sitting on the sink and I quickly pushed the curtain closed sitting down.

'What the FUUUUU?'

"Amy? Im-I'm sorry! I ... Got worried..." Silver jumped off the sink, shocked at the sound of the curtain.

"Did you get clean? -cough-." I asked not trying to sound extremely mad that he came in without permission.

"Yes. You've been in hear a while... I came to check on you." You could hear him scuffling his foot.

"I hadn't -cough- noticed how much ti-time passed. I'm sorry to wo-worry you. -cough-." I stood back up and peered out from behind the curtain. "Pass me my towel, -cough- please?"

"Of course." He grabbed my pink towel and I quickly wrapped myself in it, pulling the curtain open again.

"I have to do laundry..." I stared at my clothes on the floor.

"If you want ill do them tomorrow, but now you need your medicine and rest." He lifted me up bridal style and brought me to my bed. "Here, you have to drink this."

He pulled out the thick, purplish vile medicine and handed it to me. "Mmm..."

"Don't put that face on. Please take it!" He chuckled sheepishly.

"-cough-. Alright..." I swallowed some and coughed. "Ack! It burns -cough-."

"Really?" Silver took the bottle and read something on the back of it. "You said your throat was dry... Right? It's probably adding a substance to your throat to heal it."

"Ech... It better. -cough-." I fixed my towel a bit, and looked at him. "Thank you, Silver."

"No problem, Amy..." He kissed my forehead, and got up. "Now, change and try to get some sleep. I love you, Amy."

"I love you, too." I watched as he left, looking back before he shut my door.

'Awww... He's so protective...' I nuzzled my face into my hands. Then realized I had my towel on, 'oh, yeaaa...'

I limped to my dresser and got out purple panties, a purple silk shorts and tank top and slid them on. Feeling comfortable, I limped back to my bed and hopped in.

"Oh, Silver... Thank you so much. -cough, cough-."

Sorry I took so long updating :/ ... Now this one... It seemed different…. :/ Idk... R&R tho! :D
