I'm going through finals so it has been hard for me to get this straightly forward. Something's may not make sense, because I get lazy and I feel like I'm not the best detailist but try your best to be nice with my work. Remember I do this for you guys.

Oh! And I would like to make something clear here.

Emi is the Japanese name for Amy in Sonic X. It's the same thing but in different accents. Please don't go saying 'what kind of a name is it' cause it's a precious name. It fits her.—thank you

Chapter 8: Power Work

Emi walked up to the mirror while tying her hair into a half ponytail and took a look at herself. She was tired looking and yet she was ready to begin to work.

The maids' room was small and very full of neat stuff like lamps, chairs, blankets, pillows. The room was dark. Hardly any light from the open window hit the room. Still Emi could see her figure reflection in the mirror.

She took a long deep breath and let it go all in one swift.

She stared down at her neck and saw the shinning necklace that was sticking from the side a little. She moved her hand up to her neck and grabbed the golden necklace out of her maid's dress. There it was, in small letters 'Always together.' She twirled it around and smiled.

"I wonder who gave it to me." She thought out load. "They really must have loved me."

She giggled and placed the necklace away. She smiled once more at herself in the mirror and skipped to the door. She opened it and went out.

Emi turned once closing the door and stared down the halls; one on each side of her shoulder and one ahead of her. They looked like they never ended it scared her. She made it this far and there was no turning back. She was determined to find out about her past and her family. She narrowed her eyes.

.:XxX:.

Sonic's stepped down on the ground, one foot in front of the other. He was strolling down the garden path. The place had changed ever since the war. All green was killed and burned down. All but the lake and a tall tree that grew pink flowers on it next to the lake. The place where he had giving something so important to someone he cared about.

He pulled out a diamond necklace, unlatching it from one another, breaking it into two. He handed one into Amy's hand. Her face glowed with shock and happiness.

"I want you to promise me you'll never take it off, for our friendship."

"Oh, I promise I never will,"

He smiled at the memory and looked up at the tree. He was stared at it with joy for this tree and the lake were the only thing that held memories of his past. When he'd run away from his father and hide behind this tree sometimes. Sonic felt the wind blow lightly, blowing his quills to the side only a bit. Fresh.

"No! No! You're doing it all wrong!" complained a voice.

Sonic was broke off his thoughts and turned finding in the far end a white mouse scowling a pink hedgehog. It was Emi and a bossy mouse named Cherry. The Mouse was very pretty and opened with herself. In more ways than one.

She had a very rosy nose and puffed cheeks with blush on them. Her hair was long curly and blond. She had one of the most showy maid outfits and was the lead maid of them all. Cherry snatched the watering bucket from Emi and turned to the flowers. She rapidly sprayed the water around them.

"You're suppose too water them in one whole pace. Not one by one like a granny would. You don't even know how to water plants?" Cherry threw the bucket filled with water back to Emi and she caught it barely managing to grab it before it fell.

Cherry turned around and left. "I don't even know why the King would hire you."

Emi pouted and turned back to the flowers.

Sonic turned his whole body and watched her carefully. She held the water bucket and did as told. She quickly watered the flowers passing them back a couple of times. After a few times of continuous watering, she stopped and looked up to see if Cherry had left.

When she noticed she was gone Emi turned to the flowers and smiled at the flowers. She began to water them the way she was doing it before.

Sonic's eyes widened in surprise that she had disobeyed one of Cherry's rules. She was so calm, so quiet, and all too suspicious for Sonic. Still he had to hand it to her. For a newbie, she had ways to get around, ignoring what other people say yet being able to finish what she had started.

Sonic turned around and smirked. With that he dashed down the path leaving his blue streak behind. Emi turned around and saw the blue streak. She gasped.

The king was there. He was watching her and she didn't see him. She turned around nervous of her doing. She only hoped she didn't do anything wrong.

By the afternoon some maids were cooking in the kitchen. They were in a rush to cook dinner, but there was a problem. The king's favorite food was out and the maids panicked around trying to find the ingredients but it was no use. They were out of chilies. Emi soon came in exhausted from all the work she had to do around the castle.

A yellow mongoose passed by Emi and another maid passed by with a pile of bread sticks.

"What's going on here?" she asked. One of the maids turned to her. "We're out of chili for chili dogs." She said in a panicking voice.

"Don't you have some in the garden?" she asked.

"We ran out yesterday and lunch is in an hour." She piped in a Ladybug.

.:XxX:.

Sonic and Tails were happily walking down the hall. They were heading down to the dining room to sit down but as they were about to turn the heard footsteps. Emi was running down another hall. She stopped to take a breath while leaning her hand on the wall and looking down at the floor. She panted heavily as she held her chest but then turned around then stood up straight and continued running. Sonic's eyes narrowed. "She looks suspicious." He told his friend, his smiled disappearing and rubbing his index finger and his thumb on the tip of his chin.

"Dude, when will you understand she's perfectly harmless?" Tails said calmly turning to him. To his surprise when he turned Sonic wasn't there next to him. Sonic had already started his way down the corner of the hallway to make a turn and follow Emi. Tails' stomach hardened and his ears fumed. "Sonic," He hissed, and followed after him.

.:XxX:

Emi ran out into the quiet garden. The wind blew slightly and the summer air was fresh. Emi's feet carried her down the grass and she looked back to see if anyone was behind her.

Sonic and Tails meanwhile ran after Emi. They were just a few meters away from trying to find where she had gone. Emi's eyes widened. The king and his trusted friend were after her. She blinked twice and narrowed her eyes in annoyance.

"Where did you see her go?" Tails asked flying overhead. Sonic dashed down the path.

"I don't know? I saw her go in through here."

Her jade eyes spotted the blue hedgehog run pass the large bush she was hiding in. She frowned and slowly her eyes shifted from the small holes in the bush and opened spaces that the leaves left. Emi was kneeled down on the ground quickly putting herself in more suitable position. She attached her hand together and turned them downwards. She placed her hands on the ground's soil. Under her hand a small yellow light appeared for a while and then faded off. When it did she moved her hands back and sat on her knees looking down at the soil.

A small green sprout grew. Coming out from the ground it also grew green leaves and bubs. Soon the small sprout grew into a small plant fill with the bubs that stretched out into chilies bright red as blood. She smiled happily jumping in a place a little and reached out to pick the chilies one by one. She grabbed half of the small vegetables that were in the plant and stood up. She turned left and right but didn't see the king around anymore. She looked down at the plant and smiled sweetly then moved swiftly out from the bushes. She made a run back to the kitchen where everyone panicked.

.:XxX:

Sonic turned his head to the side and far off to the right a small little pink figure running out back to the castle.

"Tails!" he called out.

The fox ran back to Sonic. Sonic pointed out to the figure. "She's moving! C'mon," Sonic said.

Tails growled and spun his tails in circles. He began having over Sonic and Sonic's feet worked up and he raced down the garden back to the castle.

Entering the castle he raced down the huge hall and past some stairs. As he ran he soon found himself face to face with a maid. Sonic halted leaving screech noises and steam on his feet. He stopped in front of Cherry and she blinked.

"Hey Cherry," He nervously said offering a smile. Cherry offered a cheesy smile and blushed. "Good morning Sir," She said. Sonic nodded weirdly but asked. "Good morning. Uh, have you seen Emi lately around here?"

Cherry's smile faded. "Yes, she just passed by out of breath with a bunch of chilies in her apron." She replied, but before she could ask why, Sonic sped out of sight. Cherry frowned in annoyance, but then something else caught her attention. Chilies? Where did she get those from? She turned around her expression full of worry. "King Sonic!" She yelled.

.:XxX:

Sonic sped into the kitchen and saw everything was normal. Like always the kitchen was buys and full of hard working ladies. Only he was looking for something unusual. He found Emi in the corner of the kitchen slicing chilies in a bowl while others grabbed some to help mash them. Some stomped towards her and everyone paused when they saw Sonic enter, but they quickly bowed down. Emi stood in shock for a moment until she went down with the rest. Sonic growled to himself and grabbed Emi's wrist. He pulled her up hurting her harshly.

"Ow!" She whimpered. Sonic pulled her to face him in the eye. She saw deep black holes behind his emerald eyes. He saw that she had already place some mashed chilies one a hot dog bun and that some were already cooking in the pot.

"Where did you get the chilies from?" He asked his voice cold and serious.

"I-I-" Emi stuttered unable to keep her voice from cracking a few times.

"What did you put in the pot?" He interjected.

"Chilies, I just put chilies." She cried out her answer.

He tightened his grip and his face got closer to hers. She swore that they could've kiss if he got any closer to her. His breath was minty and fresh which brought her shivers up her spine.

"Then where did you get it from. Plants that aren't in my garden don't just grow out of nowhere." Sonic explained loudly.

"Maybe you just don't know you're our garden. I found chilies outside why don't you?" He shot back her eyes narrowing. Instantly she regretted what she had said. Sonic roughly pushed her back and her hip hit the kitchen's counter hard. She groans in pain but she looked up at Sonic. She didn't know why but something about him at that moment felt familiar. A quick moment of déjà vu.

"Eat one," he ordered.

Emi didn't move for that moment. She only stared into his eyes.

"Eat one Emi," he demanded.

Emi turned to move to the pot full of the chilies she had gotten. The beige bunny that was near the pot moved aside and Emi got the spoon. She lifted it up to her lips and sipped the spoon fill of chilies. Sonic eyed her closely not wanting her to cheat or anything.

Her eyes grew watery and she turned to the king. "It's not poisoned if that's what you thought, but it's hot. I need water." She gasped and ran to the sink. Sonic cursed under his breath. Tails entered the kitchen with a disappointed look.

"Continue working ladies." Tails called out loudly and all the maids turned whispering to what had just happened. Tails grabbed Sonic's shoulder and turned him to face his eyes. "You," he pointed at him. "And I," He pointed at himself. "Need to talk." He finished.

Emi gasped after drinking her last cup of water and a few maids went up to her.

"Where did you get the chilies from?" They asked.

"There's a tree outside hiding behind some bushes. It has a lot of them today." She explained nervously.

"Wow, Really? I'm glad there is because you saved us from a whole lot of anger." explained a Bat.

"Why?" Emi asked concerned.

"Those are the king's favorite food. He'd go nuts if there were no more." explained a mongoose.

Emi blinked in shock. "Hmm…" She thought to herself and lifted her hand to her lips as to think.

If it seemed to rush at the end please excuse it and its mistakes cause I was rushing. I want to say that this may not look like it's going anywhere but it will soon. I've got a plot.

Also, Emi can grow plant!?

Yes she can. She had a special power. If you'll don't like it then…..too bad. Bye everyone.

R&R pwease.
