Chapter 5: I'll Be Waiting Here

AMY'S POV

We all stood gathered around Chuck. Behind him was an array of monitors, showing Sonic still running. Chris spoke up first.

"He doesn't stop, Grandpa, he just keeps on running." He said.

"We just have to figure out what's wrong with him." I said pleadingly. I was still really concerned. I didn't know why he didn't just stop. Chuck looked at me.

"The only way to do that is to examine him, but first we have to catch him. And that's not going to be easy." He said while looking at the rest of us. I glanced at Cream and Cheese. They looked as unhappy as I felt. Capture Sonic? It would be pretty hard, considering how fast he ran. Plus he didn't like examinations. Chuck thought for a moment, before appearing to come up with an idea. "I think I may know a way."

That night found me on the balcony upstairs. I was too worried to sleep. There was a light on in the garage and I could just make out the two silhouettes of Tails and Chuck. They appeared to be working on something, but I didn't really care. I looked up at the full moon. It looked so much like the moon back home. It reminded me of all the times Sonic would go running and disappear for a few days. But he never took off like he did today.

"What's wrong, Sonic? Where are you?" I wonder aloud. I sigh lightly. Cream walked out of the bedroom behind me.

"What's the matter, Amy?" She questioned curiously.

"Promise not to tell?" I ask.

"Of course!" She replies. I know I can trust her, so I tell her what's bothering me.

"I'm worried about Sonic." I admit.

"Why, Amy? Sonic always goes out running." She asks confused.

"He never takes off the way he did today. He always says goodbye, unless he's going adventuring. And even then, he takes Tails with him." I tell her, voicing my concerns.

"Don't worry, Amy. Tomorrow we'll all help Sonic." She said brightly. I chuckle a little as she leads me back inside. But before I close the door, I look at the moon one more time. I make a silent prayer. Please be okay, Sonic.

SONIC'S POV

"Almost there! Almost there! Where am I going anyway?" I asked myself. I certainly couldn't go back to the city. I would almost definitely end up as road kill. Since I didn't have anything better to do, I tried to figure out how long I've been running. Let's see, Amy and I went to the ranch at about 6:30. We got back at 7 and I was on the roof for about an hour before I took off. And now it's… I looked up at the sky. The moon was at its peak, and I assumed that if it wasn't midnight already, it was pretty close. I've almost been running for a whole day. I realized with a start. No wonder I was so tired! I gave a yawn and kept running through the desert.

Okay, no matter what anyone says, I will always think I got Sonic OOC or screwed up or something. Anyway... I like if it The Hidden Flare could come over (Gives big hug) you managed to guess where I got the quote from! In answer to your question, I might get it posted today, because I don't have school, so I'm going to have a lot of free time (And drawing and writing is what I do in my freetime). For all of you people who are wondering where the hell is that title from, it's a quote from Sonic Unleashed, cutscene uh... hold on... ah we go. The cutscene's called A Case Of Mistaken Identity, or Amy's Mistake. After watching this, if you don't want to give Sonic a big hug (like I did) you are EVIL. Okay, now that that's done and past, I actually have to answer another question. If you don't like this (kinda) SonAmy moment, I think I know where I'll write it out. But that's for me to know and you to read. And this title is a song that's a parody of another song (I think). Thanks for all the positive reviews!
