Memories of a Rose Ch.2

Memories of a Rose Chapter 2. Every girl cries

“That’s so cruel! Poor Mr. Sonic..” Cream said as her eyes got blank after hearing about Sonic’s amnesia from Tails. She hadn’t seen Tails or Sonic in two weeks because she was helping her mother at home. And when she finally had time, she made a bento (ED note: ‘bento’ is a Japanese word for ‘picnic curve’) and decided to visit them; and when she came, Tails was busy with rebuild the workshop, and on the top of that; Sonic had amnesia.
“I’m sorry Cream. But he’s all right now, but he still can’t remember anything.” Tails said as he laid a hand on Cream’s shoulder. “I-is Mr. Sonic at the hospital, now?” Cream sobbed, Tails’ expression changed to a worried smile, if the mood wasn’t so sad, his expression would be funny. “About that.. You see,” He began and rubbed the back of his head. “Since the workshop was attached by Eggman, it’s not safe to live here for a while. So you see..” Tails didn’t finish before Cream gasped and lifted a hand up to her lips; “Is Mr. Sonic living with Amy?” She asked shocked, “That’s right Cream.. That’s what I’m worried about.” Tails sighed. “But isn’t that great? Then they can become SO much closer! And no one can take care of Mr. Sonic like Amy! Don’t you think it’s great?” Cream lightened up and held Tails’ hands in hers. “T-that’s just what worries me more; you don’t think Amy will do too much to make Sonic feel pleased?” he said nervously; “I think it’s the greatest thing that ever happened to the two of them.” She said smiling.



“How long is he planning to be out?” Amy asked herself, she was almost done with making dinner. It had been two hours since Sonic left for a run, and she hadn’t seen him since. “Oh well, it can’t be helped I guess; that’s just Sonic. Old habits never change.” She said in a sigh.
“Are you talking about me?” Amy quickly turned on her heel with her piko piko hammer in her hands; “Howowowow! Do you really hate me that much!?” Sonic snapped as he stopped the hammer with his hands. “S-Sonic! You’re back.” She said as she lowered her hammer, “Yeah. Had some problems with finding the way back, sorry for the wait.” He said, Amy just sighed and went back to her cooking. “.. I mean, if you were waiting for me..” He corrected himself, feeling like she sighed because he was back. “Well of course I was waiting, dinners almost ready, and I was worried.” She said not taking her eyes off the cooking.
“Speaking of food, you haven’t eaten in two months, Sonic. Aren’t you hungry?” She wondered out loud, before Sonic could answer there was a strange noise from his stomach; “I’ll take that as a yes.” She laughed as she sat a boil with curry on the table, then another one.
“There you go.” She smiled cheerfully to him as she sat down. “Thank you,” He said as he sat down on the other side, “Amy.” He added with a smile as he had the first taste. Amy waited for his meaning of her cooking, “How is it?” She asked, not taking her eyes away from him. “It’s really good!” He said as he putted more of the curry in his mouth. Amy nodded cheerfully with a smile on her face. Maybe this wasn’t a bad idea as she thought.
“So, where were you when you went for a run?” Amy asked. “Hard to say.. I don’t know any of the places out here, so I was just running where my feet were taking me.” He laughed.
“That’s true. But it isn’t unusual that you’re just running.. Your speed and freedom is what you treasure the most..” Her tone changed at the last she said. How often hadn’t she been wishing for to be what Sonic treasured the most? She regretted saying it right away.
“I knew there was something with my speed, I was kinda shocked when I realized how fast I could go!” He said with a smile, he didn’t notice Amy’s switching of mood. “Yeah.. The fastest thing alive..” She said trying to hold her actions in control.
When they had eaten in ten minutes and Amy still hadn’t touched her food, and just sat there tapping her fingers in an irritating way while staring out of the window. First when Sonic had eaten up and looked up at her he noticed her strange behaviour. “Hey, Amy?” He said with a low voice, not sure if he was interrupting something in her thoughts. No response, so he decided to try again; “Hey, Amy?” He repeated more daring; Still no response. Slowly he rose from the chair and walked over to her; he nudged her shoulder lightly and finally her empty eyes were filled with contact. “Hey, you were zoning out!” He said. Amy on the other hand didn’t really understand what’d just happened, but that didn’t last long; suddenly she woke from her daze and to her surprise Sonic was standing in front of her, his face right in front of hers, close; too close. She quickly turned her head with a blush over her features and said: “I-I’m sorry, I was daydreaming…” Sonic went back to his chair and sat down, looking at her suspiciously. ‘She really doesn’t like me, does she?’ he thought about her earlier reactions, on the hospital, on the hill, and now this. And yet she agreed with the idea of him living with her? Well, not that he knew so much – but at least she didn’t seem to like him very much.
Amy noticed Sonic’s empty boil she suddenly had to ask: “You’re probably pretty hungry, so just eat as much as you want. I can even make more if you want to.” She smiled worried at him, but he could tell something was bothering her. “I think it’ll be enough with one last boil, then I need to rest a little..” He said and rose from the chair to fill the boil with curry.
“What about you? You haven’t even touched your food yet.” He said as he went back to the table, which Amy hadn’t noticed before now. “N-no,” she said surprised and looked down to her boil that still was filled with food. “I guess I forgot all about to eat.” She laughed, and he fell for that laugh she faked. “I’m not hungry anyway, so I’ll go upstairs and prepare the guest room for you.” She smiled and before he could react, she was half way in the steps.

When she finally had closed the door behind her in her own room, she sank to the floor resting her back to the door and her tears finally trilled down her cheeks. She loved him so dearly - loved him even more for the way he was treating her now. But that would just be temporary, it’s just about a hand of time, then she would mean nothing but an annoying girl to him. She wouldn’t fall for this tenderness, the risk of end up heartbroken – it hurt enough to just think about it. She could take this. Piece of cake. As soon as Tails got the workshop done, Sonic surely would get his memory back of sticking with Tails and live at his workshop.
But still – what if he doesn’t get his memory back? Would it be the same? Would she still get heartbroken? Could she make a move, or would that be taking advantage of him?
She needed to think about it, and see if it was temporary, or not. She didn’t know. She clenched her fits irritated of her weakness, and forced herself to pull herself together. It wasn’t her she needed to worry about, it was Sonic. With straight movements she prepared the guest room. It was at size with her room, and right beside hers.
She felt another will power grow inside her, ‘I can do it!’


“You’re saying that the blue loverboy had amnesia, and he’s living with Amy?” Rouge asked wide eyed yet Knuckles just told her. They accidentally met when Knuckles arrived Angel Island. “Geez, yeah.. He couldn’t remember any of us. He didn’t even know who he was himself. You should have heard Amy, she cried like a baby!” Knuckles muttered in a grumpy way, which made Rouge irritated. “Don’t say such things! Of course she cried, he’s the one she treasure the most, you know just as much as me how she loves him.” She said in a sharp and loud tone watching him suspicious. “But geez, she was crying in his lap and squeezing his hand to death!” He said and crossed his arms.“ Rouge got even more irritated. “She loves him, all girls becomes like that when someone they love is hurt. I mean, I would have cried if you..-“ She kept quiet, what she was about to say made Knuckles turn quickly around to face her; first with shocked eyes, then they became small and he got a smirk on his face. “What did you say?” He said to Rouge who kept quiet and looked away. “Nothing.” She muttered in a sharp tone and closed her eyes in stubbornness. “Oh yes I think you said something..” He said and laid a hand on her hip. “Well it has nothing to do with you.” She said just as stubborn as before. “I don’t think so.. You said you would cry if I..” He didn’t have to fill that sentence. She didn’t answer. He leaned down to her ear and whispered: “And before that you said every girl would cry if someone they love get hurt.” Rouge’s eyes flew open and a huge blush could be seen over her features. “Do-don’t be silly!” She said and flew off; leaving Knuckles with a pleased smile on his lips. If girls cries when someone they love is hurt, then he could accept it.

“Make yourself at home!” Amy smiled at Sonic as she stepped aside in the door opening to let him in the guestroom. It was already late, and Amy was getting pretty tired. Sonic walked in and studied the room, he liked it. It was simple; a bed, covered with a white blanked, a wardrobe, a night table placed just beside the bed. “It’s.. Nice..” He admitted, keeping studying the room. “My room is the next door, and the bathroom is right besides my room.” Amy smiled, “I’m going to the bathroom now, and then I’ll go to bed.” She said and turned on her heel to walk off. “Hey,” Sonic stopped her; she stopped, “Thank you, Amy..” He said with a little smile. Amy turned her head to him and smiled; “It’s nothing, I’m just glad to help.
Good night, Sonic.” She said and walked off. “Good.. Night..” He said in almost a whisper.
‘Honestly! How can I sleep knowing he’s sleeping inside the next door!?’ Amy brushed her teeth fast and angrily, she was glad he was with her – but she loved him SO much that she couldn’t help but feel frustrated about it! Whenever she was around him she would feel happy and smile all the time, but whenever she wasn’t around him, all the thought of what might happened haunted her and she would feel frustrated – or angry.  Not too long ago, her dream was to marry him, live together with him – whatever childish dreams. And now she was living with him – at least for a while. But why couldn’t she feel comfortable!? She knew the answer very well – he didn’t remember her. But she told herself over and over again to act normal. And it went.. Very well, until the thoughts came. The door flung open and out stormed Amy and continued to her bedroom, she flung the door open and slammed it and a loud bang flew through the house. She didn’t mean to wake anyone up, but she did, and soon after there was a knock on her bedroom door, the door opened slowly and Sonic stepped inside. Amy regretted immediately slamming the door that hard, Sonic looked pretty tired.
“Is something wrong? You scared the hell out of me..” He said and rubbed one of his eyes, while he kept the other one on her. Amy wasn’t turned to him, but her head was turned to face him, and it was dark, therefore he couldn’t see her short and tight pyjama dress very well.
“No.. Sorry, I was just a little tired and.. And I hit my foot on the doorstep and got a little grumpy..” She picked the first excuse she could think of, “But it’s ok now.” She added with a smile and turned around. Then he saw it; the tight pyjama dress, his eyes wined and studied her figure. It sparkled so clear in the moonlight, and he had to admit, he liked it. Only from looking at her breasts he could tell she was an e-cup! Then he remembered why he was there. He cleared his throat and turned away to hide the blush that had taken place over his features.
“Y-yes, that’s good to hear..” he said nervously, still thinking of what he just saw, “I mean – that you’re ok now!.. Good night Amy..” He said and walked out of the room closing the door behind him. Leaving Amy with a confused look. ‘What was that just now?’ She thought to herself as she lay down on the bed. After a while with thinking, she knew the reason behind his strange attitude. She blushed, and without meaning it, she screamed in embarrassment. And yet again, the door was flung open and Sonic was standing in the middle of the room. “Amy!?” He stated and when he saw her he sighed in relief. “Nightmare, a really bad one.” She lied. He looked suspicious at her then he went to sleep in his room without saying a word.
