Chapter 10: Amy's Confession
Amy giggled nervously and wrote down the order. "Will that be all? She asked.
"Hmmm….could you put ice cream on the cola? Alice asked. The pink hedgehog wrote it down before leaving. Spines sat there still surprised at the girl's order.
"Not to sound rude..but do you usually eat all that?" Spines asked.
Alice glared at the hedgehog. "How rude!...and no I don't, but since I don't eat at the castle...I'll eat whatever I want." she said.
Spines shrugged. "What do you usually eat?" Amy brought the colas before leaving the two.
"Usually fine cuisine." Alice replied. "I hate it too! They don't give you enough food!"
"Really? That sucks." Spines commented.
Amy approached the two and sat next to her son. "So what are you two doing here anyway? You usually cook, Spines." Amy asked.
"Well...mom..thing is..we want answers." Spines said. "You know that picture of you and that blue hedgehog?"
Amy sighed defeated. She had no other choice. "This isn't really professional of me..but I might as well get this out of my chest.." she admitted.
"So who is he to you..er..is he related to me in anyway?" Spines asked.
"Son...he was my love...and...he's your father.." Amy admitted.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"WHAT?!" Spines and Alice asked in unison.
"Shhhh! Keep it down!" Amy instructed. "People are eating here."
"But mom! That's Alice's father…" Spines commented.
"He's also yours.." Amy said nervously. Alice kept her eyes widened..she was going to fight her supposed brother…
"B-But...my father is alive..how can he be mine and his father?! My parents have been married before his birth!" Alice yelled.
"It's complicated, dear…" the pink hedgehog said.
Spines sighed, upset that his mother has been keeping this for years. He remained calm because she was still his mother, but he needed more answers.
"Mom...tell me everything…" Spines whispered. Amy could tell the subtle anger in his voice, but she felt as if she deserved it.
"Okay...it was years ago..when I was fifteen.." Amy started.
It was after Queen Sally got married. Sonic the hedgehog, was now king and married to the queen. The kingdom cheered and celebrated this new couple..however I was devastated. So one day, I confronted the king hoping to snap him out of it.
"Sonic, but why...we were destined to be together!" Amy protested. "The tarot cards…"
"The tarot cards are a lie, Amy!" King Sonic defended. "It's time to get back in reality! I'm with Sally and that's that!"
"Sonic, you know you don't want to be king, it's not you! And you and Sally have been on and off, it's not healthy!" Amy said.
"The only thing that's not healthy is your constant obsession!" he yelled. "You chasing me, hugging me...it's annoying and I wish you didn't do that!"
Amy felt her world grasping away from Sonic's brutal opinion. She decided to give up as tears formed in her eyes.
"I see...if that's how you feel..then I'll see myself out." Amy said. Sonic refused to say another word as Amy ran out of the castle with tears in her eyes.
But I had no luck..so I ran away from Knothole and the Kingdom of Acorn..left my friends and headed to Mercia, my homeland. I stayed with my parents, who took me in and stayed there. I had no interest of meeting anyone after that, but things slowly got better without the king around…a couple of years later...the king and queen had a baby...
"That baby..was that me?" Alice asked.
"Correct..the baby's name was Alice Acorn..the daughter of King Sonic and Queen Sally Acorn." Amy explained. Alice took this information all in.
"But that still doesn't explain how I was born!" Spines said
"Well...it gets a little more complicated." Amy replied.
