Chapter 49: Amy Goes To Mercia

Suddenly Amy's phone rang once again, this time however it was the manager of the diner Amy worked at.

"Hello?" Amy said.

"Ms. Rose, you're ten minutes late! Are you even coming to work?!" Her boss yelled.

"Sorry sir, but my son needs me!" Amy said before hanging up. Without bothering to look for Sally, Amy rushed over to buy a tick before the train would leave.

She sat at her chair with the anticipation building up, the hedgehog mother tried her hardest to keep awake while the train was in motion.

After a few hours, Amy finally arrived to the Kingdom of Mercia. She headed over to the fields where her parents' cottage was located.

"I hope they're here…" Amy said to herself. She knocked on the door, in which Spines answered.

"M-mom?" Spines said, surprised that his mom came all the way here.

Amy was quite tired, but she gave a small smile. "Spines….oh Spines you're safe…" She whispered before tearing up. Spines hugged his mom, stroking her quills to comfort her.

"Oh son...what you did was so stupid…" Amy whispered.

"I know mom….I just wanted to return home a man…" Spines whispered.

"What are you talking about?!" Amy asked. "Spines...you are already a man…I want you to stay on focus...I want you to get a job and follow your dreams..don't be running off again like that.."

The midnight hedgehog smiled. "Because you don't want me going through what you went through...I get it, mom…"

"What's going on?!" Mr. Rose asked, walking towards the front door with his wife. He saw his daughter at his doorstep...which nearly made both parents tear up.

"Amy!" The Rose couple said in unison, hugging their daughter.

"Oh mom and dad…" Amy whispered.

"Ms. Amy?" Alice called out. Amy saw the chipmunk, running up to embrace her.

"Oh Alice, you're safe too!" She cried. "I was so worried about you..both of you…"

"Good to see you too, Ms. Amy…" Alice said. Suddenly there was another knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Mrs Rose said, opening the door to reveal a certain blue hedgehog. "W-Why Sonic…"

"Hey Mrs. Rose…." Sonic said with a sad smile.
