Chapter 54: Dear Momma

A year past after the burial of Sally. Alice, who was no longer a princess, approached her mother's grave holding a bouquet of daisies. She placed them carefully in front of her tombstone.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye…" Alice whispered, as a tear fell down her cheek. Suddenly a hand was placed on the chipmunk's shoulder. It was Amy Rose, who followed Alice.

"Amy...what are you doing here?" Alice asked.

"I came to check on you. I figured you be here." The pink hedgehog replied. "You miss her...don't you?"

"More than anything...she may have tried to marry me off...but I don't hate her...in fact I love her..she's my mom." Alice admitted. "I just wish she was here…"

"She's watching over you...I can feel it.." Amy whispered.

"You think so?"

Amy smiled. "I know so…" Alice returned the smile and the two looked at the full moon.

"You are coming to the wedding tomorrow right?" Amy asked.

Alice nodded. "Of course."

"Good! I'll be at home if you need me." Amy said. "Oh...and Alice?"

"Hmm?"

"I may not be Sally...but I'll try to be a mother figure to you...what do you say?" Amy asked.

"I'd like that...very much…" Alice replied.
