Chapter 8: Answers
"Mom!" Spines exclaimed.
"H-Hi, baby.." the pink hedgehog yawned. A tired Amy Rose in a diner waitress uniform slowly dragged herself to the couch and plopped herself on it. She started to snore loudly without a care in the world.
Alice approached the two hedgehogs. "Guess she's back huh?"
"Yep." Spines replied.
"I see….WAKE UP, WE NEED ANSWERS!" Alice yelled, but without any luck. Amy didn't budge.
"Shhh! She just got back home...I'll talk to her about it tomorrow.." Spines said.
"You mean we?" Alice corrected.
"Say whu?"
"I'll be staying here for the night with you!" Alice exclaimed.
"What why? Don't you have a castle to go to?!" Spines asked.
Alice shrugged. "My parents are busy, so they won't notice..besides...we might be brother and sister, and siblings sleep in the same home."
The blue hedgehog sighed and placed a blanket on Amy's sleeping body. "Fine, but I don't want any guards invading and chopping my head off because they think I kidnapped ya or something."
"Great, so which room do I take?" Alice asked.
"For now, you'll sleep in my mom's bed. Just make sure to keep her room clean by morning." Spines replied.
"Fine, you can always depend on me." Alice bragged. "By the way..think we'll get our answers tomorrow?" she asked.
"Let's hope so…" Spines replied.
The next morning, Spines and Alice quickly got dressed and ready. Alice decided to wear her clothes that she wore from yesterday. The two ran downstairs with their backpacks to find Amy and grab breakfast.
The pink hedgehog slowly yawned, adjusting herself up. "Where am I..?" she asked.
"Mom!" Spines exclaimed, running towards her along with Alice.
"Morning, sweetie." Amy replied before noticing the brown chipmunk next to her. "Oooh who's your friend?" she asked.
"Oh, this is Alice Acorn, Princess of Acorn." Spines introduced.
"She looks so familiar...no...it can't…" Amy thought.
"N-"Nice to meet you, dear!" Amy cheered. "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Save it." Alice snapped. "I want answers."
"Answers?" Amy asked confused.
"Mom..we have something.." Spines started, as he hold up a taped picture of the two halves.
"That's….that's the picture we took…" Amy thought.
"Alice here had the other half...we combined the two which made a perfect fit…" Spines explained.
"I see…" Amy replied.
"So mom..do you know a Sonic the Hedgehog?"

"Oh look, you're going to be late for school!" Amy exclaimed, breaking the silence.
"WHAT?!" Alice and Spines yelled in unison.
"You have no excuse for being late! So hurry hurry hurry!" Amy exclaimed, shoving two granola bars on their mouths before pushing them out the door.
"What was that all about?" Alice asked.
"She's hiding something...but we need to get to school quickly." Spines said before the two started running.
Soon the house was quiet and Amy sat on the couch. She looked at the taped picture of her young self and Sonic the Hedgehog. She remembered the day when Sonic was betrothed to another which devastated her completely. The thought of her hero choosing another woman..
"Oh Sonic...our sins... are catching up.." Amy thought. Recalling that one event that changed her forever.
The event that made her a mother…
