They all stood around her grave. No one spoke, remembering how she had died. The beast had only been stunned, long enough for Sonic and the others to
pull her out before anything else happened. The weather seemed all too happy to see her gone, the sun blazing down like nothing had occurred.
Sonic knelt down in front of her gravestone, placing a pink rose at the edge. A tear dripped down his cheek.
"…I can't eat the cookie." Sonic said as he sat at the table, staring at one of Amy's chocolate chip cookies.
"Me either." Lizzy said, poking the cookie that was in front of her.
"I can't believe she's really gone…" Tails said.
"Me either." Lizzy repeated, still poking the cookie that was in front of her.
"It won't be the same without her." Icefire mumbled.
"Yeah…" Sonic said still staring at the cookie. But I promised I would eat it. He thought. He took a bite, and then ate the whole thing, tears forming in his eyes.
Brrr-ing, brrr-ing! The phone rang interrupting the silence.
"I'll get it." Cream said leaving the table.
There was a moment of silence around the table as Sonic ate another cookie. Cream walked back in after a few minutes, her face crestfallen.
"What's the matter?" Icefire asked.
"Vector called and says there's a ship waiting to take me and my mom back home…" She said.
"Oh…" Icefire said sadly. "That means we won't be seeing you again."
Cream nodded.
"We'll miss you." Coal said giving the bunny a huge.
"I'll miss you too; I had a wonderful time with you guys."
They all got up and gave her a hug (except for Shadow.).
"WHAT?!" Eggman howled, "Sonic is still alive?"
"Yes, sir." Eggwonna shrank back.
Eggman whirled around to face Sylvia. "I thought you said Calcifer could defeat Sonic!"
"Calcifer isn't the problem; he only was able to use half of his power," she replied calmly, "we just need a better plan."
"Kill Sonic or Silver, I don't care which one," Eggman turned back around, scowling. "Just as long as that beast of yours isn't being distracted in two places at
the same time. That's the new plan."
Sylvia turned and walked away. She knew just what to do.
"Come on, Cream, your Mama's waiting for us." Vector the crocodile said.
"Good-bye." Cream waved to all of her friends, and then turned to follow Vector to his spaceship.
"Bye!" They called after her and waved.
Cream took one look over her shoulder, waved, and then disappeared behind the closed door of the plane. It didn't take long for Vector to start the engines
and take off into the sky, leaving the friends with one more thing to be sad about. Slowly, they started to return to the mansion.
"Sonic!" A familiar voice called out. They turned to see Knuckles struggling towards the gate, the Master Emerald on his back.
"Knuckles?" Sonic asked.
The echidna looked beaten up and exhausted, he was covered in cuts and burns, like he had just escaped from a fight. He carefully dropped the Master
Emerald on the ground and collapsed beside it.
"Knuckles!" Sonic said, his eyes widening.
