Everyone seemed weary in the morning and very silent. Amy stayed near Sonic Sonic not talking,Knuckles looked defeated and sat moping, and Cream just looked scared. No one was happy. "Mates cheer up! The mission was a success!" Knuckles angerly glanced up. "Success?! Were wanted outlaws like them now!" I glared at him. "Don't forget that Silver and I rescued you!" Knuckles stayed silent and glanced away. Amy nodded and glanced at Sonic. "I would say it was a success. We knew the risk to save him." Sonic hugged Amy. "Ya you guys saved me and were all together again. Together we can dethrone Mephilis!" "Thats the thought mate! We are together and thats what matters." I turned as I felt Silver's hand on me. "Thats right. We may be a little hurt but were together." I smiled and layed my back,letting my head fall on his soft quills. "Were a team mates and we ain't under the king's rule out here. His lands don't reach this far." Amy,Sonic,Silver, and I smiled at the thought of that. "What about our needs though? The market is in the Flame Kingdom." Marine laughed at Knuckles and we glanced around confused. "Mate were at the sea! Food is all around! We just gotta catch it." I stiffened at the metion of fishing. Fishing meant getting on a boat and going out where there is no land, were your surrounded by the sea. I hated being around the sea if there was no land to get to. If I fell into the water then the salt would get into my quills and stop my powers from working. Leaving me defenseless and like a fish out of water. "Would we have to fish on the b-boat?" "Of course mate! Don't worry though, I'm the best captains who ever sailed the 7 seas!" Amy gave a nod. "Marine sailed Sonic and me on out first date. It was so romantic!" Sonic gave an akward smile. "Ya so romantic..." Amy gave a small glare but didn't comment. "I guess that will work," Knuckles grumbled. "Well then tomorrow we'll go on our first fishing trip mates!" I stiffened and gave a fake smile. "Oh tomorrow ug... I can't make it. I can't leave Silver here alone." marine laughed. "Silver can walk mate so he can come to." Sonic glanced away. "You know I can't make it either. I got to do this run you see." Amy turned to Sonic and grabbed his arm before he could run off. "Oh no you don't. Your going Sonic the Hedgehog even if I have to drag you." Sonic starred at Amy and gave a smile. "Oh come on Ames. You know I don't like water. I don't belong out there." Amy shook her head. "Then you'll learn to like it. You have to face your fears." "What if I fall in? I don't know how to swim." "Then you'll learn to swim I guess." Sonic almost seemed to jump out of his skin. "L-Learn to swim!?" Amy gave a nod and another glare but I stepped in. "If Sonic wants to saty,I'll sta too. I mean the sea is just not our place." Sonic gave a wary nod. Amy glanced up Marine who was not smiling anymore. "Falmea mate do you not like the sea either?" I glanced away embarrased. "If I get salt on me it somehow cancels out my powers. I'd be defenseless." Marine gave a nod and met Amy's gaze. "Maybe they should stay here."Sonic gave a relieved sigh and smiled. "Well now thats settle-" Silver interrupted Sonic. "Not so fast. Fami you and Sonic should come. You woan't fall over board and I'll be there for you if you do." i glanced down and sighed. "Well I guess if I'm not in the w-water." Amy gave a victory smile. "Well then mates we'll all set out at dawn!" Amy turned to Sonic. "Sonic want to go pratice swimming?" Sonci gave an akward smile. "I uh...gotta run!" Amy gave a grunt of annoyance and chased after him. "Sonic the hedgehog,come back here!" Knuckles got up and soon everyone else had left. Silver stood and took my hand. "Want to go for a walk?" "Sure." I walked beside Silver keeping an eye on his leg. He still was limping a little from the gash after the crystal went through it. "Does it hurt?" Silver met my eyes and gave a small smile. "Only a little." I gave him a smirk back and glanced above the trees at the sky. "Want to go up there?" I glanced at Silve rin confusion. "Huh?" He laughed and grabbed me around the waist. "Hold on!" I grabbed his arms as he lifted us above the trees. The veiw was amazing. In the distance I could see the Flame Kingdom and behind us was Marine's house and the dock. "Its beautiful."Silver smiled and pointed over to an open feild in front of us. It was full of flowers and in the middle was a lake. "How did you know about that?" "Sonic told me about it. he said to take someone special to me there." I blushed and hugged him. "Your to sweet sometimes." He laughed and pulled me closer. 'Want a closer look?" I smiled about to say yes when a thought crossed my mind. "Won't you get tired by floating both of us there?" He smiled and shook his head. "I've been praticing. Don't worry." I smiled. "Then yes I would love a closer look oh knight of white."He laughed and floated us across the trees and into the feild and landed. I let go of him and looked around. It was a special place indeed."Here Fami. Pretty flowers for a pretty girl." I took the flowers and blushed. I felt so different around him so unlike my normal self. I never knew love mad eyou feel so funny. "Oh Fami." I glanced over and gave a scream. "Ah!" Silver splashed me with the water form the lake. "Silver the Hedgehog! Your going to pay for that!" I splashed him back and it bacame a game. Soon we were both on the ground soaked and laughing. "We never got to do this before." "Nope we were always running for our lives." I was out of breatha dn I liked laying here. I turned over and cuddled with him. He held me and gave a smile. I smirked. "Just because I'm doing this doesn't mean I forgive you for splashing me." he glanced at me and smirked. "Oh I know your highness." I playfully slapped him on the arm. "Your lucky I love you Silver the Hedgehog. Your to lucky." "Oh I know Fami. Trust me. There is no girl like you." After that we just lay there. I don't know for how long but before we knew it, it was dark. We went back to Marine's house and went to bed. The next morning Marine woke everyone up and got us boarded. Sonic and I were both nervous but Silver held my hand and Amy was hugging Sonic. "So we set sail mates. Get reasy for some fun sailing!" "Eye, eye Captain Marine!", everyone shouted except Knuckles who stayed gazing out at the sea. I wondered what was wrong but I didn't ask. Knuckles and me weren't exacly friends after all. "Is he alright?" Amy glanced back at Knuckles. "He's been like that since the mission." "Wow." I could see Knuckles had heard my comment. he met my eyes woth a very cold stare. "Don't let old knuckle head bother you. Deep down he's a teddy bear." I starred at Sonic in disbelief. "Him a teddy bear? Really?" Amy nodded. "Ya Kncukles is very nice when he isn't upset." "Or mad." Sonic added laughing. I smiled. Sonic seemed to be relaxed now. "Alright mates cast em out and we'll wait for a bite!" Everyone casted out and waited. I starred ove r at Knuckles who had set his fishing rod to his side and looked like he was sleeping. "You gonna fish Knuckles?" He opened one eye at me and seemed to smirk. "I am. the pole is thrown out and I'm waiting." I laughed a little and was about to turn back around when he spoke again. "Are you fishing? Your scared of the sea last time I remembered." I rolled my eyes."I'm not scared of fish last time I checked so yes I'm fishing." Knuckles smirked at me. "Sassy much?" I rolled my eyes again and turned around leaving Knuckles the feeling of victory. silver gave me smile and kept looking at me. "What?" He started laughing. "I just think its funny how you friends with our old enemy thats all." "Friends?" I glanced back at Knuckles with a smile and he met me back with one. "I wouldn't say full friends yet." "Ok whatever you say Fami." I bumped Silve rplayfully and he wrapped his arm around me. I could here giggling behind and glanced back to see Marine and Cream giggling. Amy and Sonic were copying Silver and me. I shook my head in annoyance and enjoyed the reast of the trip playing around with everyone.
