Amy's POV
I actually don't mind taking care of Sage. He was nothing like my Sonikku from his appearance to his actions. He seems really nice and it's great to finally have a Sonikku who doesn't run away for me. I think we can ever get along really well and have a lot of fun.
The fact that I haven't seen Sonic act like this made me a little worried. I knew that Sage was Sonic's happiness. I thought that Sonic was always happy… But here is Sonic's happiness acting nothing like my original Sonikku. Was something wrong?
We walked up the stone pavement to my house. Each step of the way Sage was getting more and more excited. When we got to the door he was already bouncing off the walls and ready to go inside.
As we walked inside Cream was sitting on the couch with Cheese. They both looked over and saw Sage with me. Cream's eyes widened to see the yellow Sonic with his flower crown. Cheese was also confused and flew upstairs I was guessing that Cheese was going to Cream's room.
"Mrs. Amy… What happened to Sonic? Why is he yellow and wearing a flower crown? I thought he hated flower crowns" She asked me walking up to Sage and gave him a confused look.
"Cream, this is Sage! Sonic had a accident and was split into his emotions. This is Sonic's happiness. We are going to watch over him for the next few weeks," I told her with a smile.
Cream looked at me then Sage. Slowly a smile formed on her face and she started to giggle in excitement. She then grabbed Sage's hand and pulled him out the backdoor into the garden. The door was left wide open and I was able to see two figures running around picking flowers.
I followed them out with a giggle and saw them already sitting under the cherry blossom tree. With pink petals falling around them and the sunsetting behind them and it was a truly beautiful sight.
They were just talking as I walked up to them and sat down. Sage gave me a wide smile and placed a blue flower crown on my head. Sage then looked over a Cream and places an orange crown on her head.
"So Sage… How does it feel being separated?" I asked him picking at the grass.
"Yeah, Sage how does it feel?" Cream asked again and leaned in closer to listen.
Sage then looked up at the sunset. He left us in silence and watched the pink petals flow around us. He then looked at me and gave me weak smile and looked at the grass blowing in the wind. Finally he broke the silence...
"It-It feels wonderful," Sage said and started to cry and smile at the same time.
"Sage what's wrong!?" Cream asked pulling him into a hug.
"I-It's just that… Sonic would never let me out. The others are usually in control and I was just pushed aside. I never got to be in control of Sonic's emotions. I never got to see the outside and I was just in the shadows… Darkness was all I saw. The only time I got to be in control was when Sonic was handing out with Shadow… I'm not suppose to tell you both this but I can't hold it all in anymore," Sage said still crying as Cream hugged him tighter.
I let that echo in my mind. As I watched Cream try to make Sage stop crying but failing. Sonic always had other things in control of his life? My heart dropped after hearing that my Sonikku was feeling all this pain and I didn't even realize. I had to use all my energy to stop me from crying.
"It's going to be alright Sage," I told him putting my hand on his shoulder.
"How do you know? When we are put back together I'll just be pushed away again," He told me and more tears were shed.
"I promise you that I will do everything that I can to help you," I told him as I wiped the tears from his eyes.
Sage looked up a me and gave me a smile. Instead of tears of pain they were replaced with tears of happiness. Sage then pulled me and Cream into a tight hug and I felt him still crying. His chest going up and down with quick and disoriented breaths. Both of my arms pinned to my sides because of the huge hug.
I was able to slide my arms out of the strong grip and snuck my arms around the yellow hedgehog and hugged him back. I started to rub is back and I felt him calm down. His breaths started to slow down and his hug slowly loosened.
He then went limp in my arms and when I looked at my shoulder… There was Sage sleeping calmly. I then nodded at Cream who had already gotten out of the hug. I wiped the rest of the tears off Sage's eyes and balanced him in my arms.
I picked Sage up bridal style and walked to the house. Cream followed close behind me and opened the door for me and we both walked up to an extra room in my house. Cream again opened the door to the bedroom for me and waited out in the hallway.
I turned on the light and walked in with Sage in my arms and sighed. I still couldn't imagine how he was feeling. All the years I have known Sonic I thought that he was always happy. Then Sage told me the truth… I set Sage down on the bed and pulled the covers over him.
"I promise I will make Sonic happy," I told him and kissed him on the forehead.
I slowly stepped away from the bed and watched the sleeping figure. I managed a small smile and walked to the light. I flicked the lights off and the yellow fur was engulfed by darkness. I then walked out the door and met Cream in the hallway. I quietly and slowly shut the door behind me and fell to my knees and leaned against the door.
"Ms. Amy why are you crying?" Cream said as she helped me up and lead me downstairs to the living room.
"I've been friends with Sonic for years now and just a few minutes ago I learned things that I haven't known at all. I was all wrong Cream! I thought he was always happy," I poured out and cried into my hands.
"I didn't know that about either Amy. But instead of saying we need to help Sonic… Everything will be alright Amy," Cream told me as I felt her pull me into a hug.
"Thank you Cream," I told her and hugged her back.
"I'll tell Tails about what happened," Cream informed me and walked into the other room.
I heard her pick up the phone and then ringing started. I heard Tails' voice coming from the phone and I listened from the door. I leaned in to listen in of there conversation.
"Hey Cream how are you?" I heard Tails' voice say.
"Yeah I'm just fine! I'm here at Amy's house… I'm staying with her for the next few weeks!" Cream said into the phone.
"Have you met Sage?"
"Yeah… Sage is the reason that I called you,"
"What happened! Is something wrong!?"
"No everything's fine… It's just that he said something about Sonic,"
"What was it?"
I heard Cream repeat everything that Sage had said. When Cream was done no sound came from the phone. Tails was speechless…
"I didn't know that Sonic felt that," Tails finally said through the phone.
"I know so did Amy," Cream said to the phone.
Hearing my name made my ears twitch. I et out a sigh and looked down at the tile floor. I then remembered all the times that I thought Sonic was having the time of his life.
"Well… Thanks for telling me Cream. I love you!" Tails said through the phone with a giggle.
"I love you too! By Tails!" Cream said and put the phone down.
She then turned around and saw me standing at the door. He almost jumped out her skin when she saw me. I raised an eyebrow and a smirk then formed on my face.
"Love?" I asked and Cream buried her face in her hands.
"I thought you were outside!" She yelled in embarrassment.
"It's ok Cream… I won't tell anyone! Not ever you mother,"
"Thank you, Mrs. Amy,"
