Chapter 3: Caring

Ms. Rose was inside the maid's room packing her bag and getting her clothes ready to get dressed into her regular suit. Amy, meanwhile, had sneaked out and ran down the hallway to get out of the castle to reach the outside garden.

It was dark and the stars were out once again. The sun may have been gone but in the night was still young for the little creatures to begin to come out to explore the world. Small fireflies flew around Amy and she gasped watching them all as she walked down the small pavement. She spun around her eyes following a beetle that flew passed her.

She followed it down to a bridge where the small river passed. She stopped then to take a look down at her small reflecting when the beetle was out of sight. She saw her small pink quills softly blow along with the wind and her dress flow.

"Cool isn't it?"

She quickly turned around seeing Sonic barely walking up the bridge while looking down at the water.

She smiled once she noticed her friend and looked back at the view. Sonic stopped at her side. "Yes, it's a very clean garden. Even the bugs like it." She stated lifting her hand up and letting a small fireflies land on one of her fingers.

Sonic chuckled and nodded. "Yea,"

The small fireflies flew away and they stared at it go. It was silent as they watched it go up to its group.

Sonic's eyes moved slowly to Amy. He only eyed her as she smiled up at the sky. She was so calm looking and happy. Sonic moved closer to her. "I- uh…wanted to tell you thank you for the chili dogs again. They were really good." Sonic told her breaking the silence.

She blinked. "Why thank you…" She softly said surprised he was still thanking her for that. Sonic smiled at her but a flower that was just below them near the water caught his attention. He sped out from her side, the air blowing Amy's dress, but at that moment he was back.

Amy was shocked of such speed he had. He handed her a pink daisy.

"Here I want to thank you an even better way." he said

Amy grabbed the flower and blushed. She looked up at him. "Wow, you're really fast." She complimented. Sonic shrugged. "My dad says it's my special gift." He stated.

"Oh, you're so lucky." she sadly said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I don't have a special gift," She muttered. Sonic's smile faded. He sadly looked at her. Amy turned to the rail and got on the bottom rail placing her elbow on the top rail. Sonic walked closer to her and got on the bottom rail besides her. "Don't be so upset about it." He told her while looking at her though Amy ignored contact. "All of my friends have cool powers like flying, smartness, turning small, and some even can…Uhh…some can be gone like, you know-" she tried to explained but Sonic took over. "No, I know." Sonic agreed. Amy sighed. "I wish I had a cool power," Any whispered.

Sonic looked up at the sky were the stars were. "Look at the stars," He began.

Amy looked up at him confused but then did what told. She saw tons of small dots that had different colors and different shapes, small, big, round, or just plain white stars that weren't shining. "They say if you wish really hard your wish'll come true." He told her in a low voice. Amy blinked at him. "How do you know?" she asked.

Sonic turned back to her. "Cause you're here,"

It took a moment for her to absorb all the words he said.

A soft smile was plastered on his lips making the moment of a true starting point in their friendship.

"Amy," a small soft voice was heard in the castle and it wasn't too far away.

Amy got off the rail and so did Sonic. "Will I see you tomorrow?" he asked. Amy nodded. "Yea, it was fun being with you," She said. "It was fun being with you too." He agreed.

Amy giggled and waved good bye before running down the bridge and down the path. Sonic sighed and looked up. The stars only shined down at him. Sonic thankfully looked up at them and walked down the bridge.

Weeks passed and the two had become the closest friends ever. No one had seen such close friendship before. Everyday Amy came to the castle Sonic was the first one waiting inside the gates for her and her mother to arrive. While her mother worked with the maids they'd sometimes hear laughing voices down the halls or yelling, sometimes mixed. When they went out to check they weren't there.

Sonic and Amy liked playing hide-and-go seek inside the castle because there were more places to hide in. Outside both leaped the rocks of the lake, walked around or laid on the flowers just enjoying the clouds that were in that bright sunny sky. They seemed to get closer and closer every day.

Sonic quickly moved his feet down the hall. He searched around through each door calling her name.

"Oh Amy, Come out come out where ever you are." He called. He opened each of the doors and quickly moved inside before running to the next one to take a look. He opened the last door to that wall. It was the library. It was dark, huge and full of books. The shelves were way off the floor and one could only get up by latter. Sonic turned on the lights flashing an incredibly clean and shiny room.

"Amy?" He called out. Sonic walked in casually looking around the place. He kept his ears and eyes opened for anything that was heard or moved.

A book fall was heard in the room. It echoed down to his ears and he rushed to where he heard it. He reached it which was behind a bookshelf but all there was, was a blue plain book opened and facing flat on the ground.

"Hm," he mused rubbing his chin.

"Baa!" A figure jumped on his back making Sonic lose balance and fall on the ground. Amy laughed seeing Sonic on the floor with a pout of defeat. She laid on top of his back her legs to the side. "I win," she chirped happily. Sonic smirked and pulled himself up and Amy off.

"Ah," Amy landed on her bottom. Sonic looked down at her. "Great, my turn. Bet ya you can't catch me." He challenged her and dashed out of side sight. "Oh, it's the catching game now." She stated with her mischievous look. She got up and ran after him. "It's on!"

.:XxX:.

The king was sitting in his throne. He had a messenger come in just a few minutes ago to begin a deal. The messenger was a pale gray goose that came with a scroll from another town and kingdom far away. The goose bowed down and smiled at the king. "Your majesty," he said respectfully. The king sat up straight and the queen smiled at the bird.

"What's the news?" The king asked.

The bird shook his head. "We've got troubled news," He explained.

"What seems to be the trouble?" he king asked again.

The goose rolled opened the scroll and began to read. "The Kingdom of Shadows has once again made attack. They have recently just attacked Adabat. The whole town has turned into flames." The queen gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. "What?!" yelled the king.

.:XxX:.

Sonic ran down the hallway with Amy trying to catch up with her. They turned down the hall way that lead to the throne room. Sonic ran faster to reach the throne room first. He laughed at Amy who was way behind but stopped when he heard voices.

"The Kingdom of Chun Chan asked for a request, our kingdom and yours to team up for defense." The goose told him.

Amy soon reached Sonic who stood near the doorway looking at his parents and a messenger. He didn't have a smile on his face so she frowned.

"To provide that…we need to engage your son with our princess."

Sonic's jaw opened in shock and Amy stood there a bit confused.

The king sighed and held his head on the palm of his hand looking stressful. The queen looked over at her husband with a worried look. "Sonic's awful young Jules," she softly muttered. The king stood up from his throne. "But it's the only way to be safe." He replied. He turned back to the goose.

"Tell your king…I accept." He agreed. The goose bowed down. "Thank you, sir I will tell him right-"

"NO!" yelled Sonic coming out from the hallway's doorway and walking towards the goose. Amy lifted her hand to try to catch him from leaving but she reached out to late so she stayed hidden.

"Son," His father began calmly trying to reason with him.

Sonic waved his hand across the air. "No way! I'm not goanna marry anyone!" He exclaimed.

Amy gasped placing her hands on her cheeks.

"There isn't must of a choice, son. I will do everything possible to save this kingdom from harm." His father forcefully said. "But not like this. There must be another way." He said almost sounding as he was pleading.

"Uniting with other kingdoms is all of a way." He firmly said.

Sonic growled and turned to the goose. "Tell your king I'm not taking request from him or anyone!" he angrily demanded. The gooses only stared in shock.

"Sonic, you have no right to choose or make commands!" scowled his father.

"Then why be prince? Might as well go live out in the open wild," He said in a low angry voice. His parents' eyes widened. "Where I won't command and nor will you," he harshly ended and then sped off.

Amy shook her head when he disappeared down another doorway. Sonic has never acted this way before. He disagreed with strong words and actions and never has that happened before. He was a little prince and he already made a few bold moves.

"I am so terrible sorry for his behavior." The queen apologized sounding embarrassed. The king sigh, "Actually tell your king to give me some time." The king said in a low voice.

"O-Of course." Nervously began the bird but soon cleared his throat and bowed down. "Good day," The bird placed the scroll in his bag and flapped his wings.

Amy moved backwards and turned her back to the wall. She bite down her lip and sternly looked across to the other wall. Sonic seemed so upset. Ok so he was getting married. Shouldn't he be happy? She's heard in fairytales how lovely it is to get married. So then why did he act so cruel about it? She pushed herself off the wall and ran down the hall. Maybe she could talk to him, see what was going on."

Eh, whatcha think? It might have been a little too much. Got inspired my
