Amy awoke with a frightful start. Her eyes had grown into glossy orbs the size of golf balls, looking frantically up and down, left and right, anywhere for anything….well…..suspicious. The poor hedgehog shivered all over, although it was a very warm day.
"That was a very scary dream I had," Amy gasped in sharp breaths. "I think I had ate too many vanilla wafers last night."
She put a hand over her head in exasperation, realizing that this was about the fifth weirdest dream that she's had this week. Glancing over on her nightstand her heart was at ease and she wasn't wary and anxious anymore. The picture of Sonic's signature smirk made her day bright again, once more excited to start a day of excitement and adventure with her favorite speedster.
After the tiring, everyday task of making up her soft bed, Amy Rose retreated towards her peaceful solitude, which was her shower. Cleansing the demonic wisps of nightmares and bad thoughts off of her body and mind, Amy sang a familiar melody to herself, the walls bouncing her voice back towards the vicinity of her body, making her song ring all around the room like a soft bell.
I can't wait to see Sonic today! This time, I won't fail to invite him to the Midnight Crescent Club……just so he could see me sing……for fun anyways. That way, he'll fall for me for sure, Amy smiled with joyful pride.
Recently, her friends Rouge and Tikal had convinced the shy girl to sing on the bright light stage of the city's most popular hangout. And, as much as she could remember, Sonic was in another part of the club also…..
"Wow! She sings so beautifully. No wonder she's so popular with the locals," Amy exclaimed in awe.
The main attraction and entertainment, a female voluptuous lilac fox, had finished off her hauntingly sweet song with a spine tingling note of a prime soprano. Applause immediately followed, even when she wasn't finished. Some parts of the audience were calling out for 'Encore, encore!', the fox girl blushing madly. Amy, on her part, was very impressed indeed.
"I told you girls she was a wonderful singer," Rouge winked assuredly. For one thing, this performance was worth coming indeed.
"Hey! Amy, you could sing up there too!" Tikal suggested in support. Amy smiled modestly, knowing that she has a terrible case of stage fright all throughout her life.
"You know, that's not a bad idea! They could let other girls sing up on that stage, all you have to do is just ask! Go do it Amy!" Rouge squealed in excitement.
"Oh no you guys, I couldn't -," Amy giggled in nervousness.
"But you have an awesome singing voice! Trust me, the crowd will absolutely LOVE you if you just sing!" Tikal tried to persuade the hesitant hedgehog.
Amy thought about it for a moment. It would sure be nice to have 15 minutes of fame. The limelight pouring down on her glowing face, her voice escaping out to the public for the first time, and the warm cheers afterwards, complimenting on her angelic singing. It would feel good……
But, on the other hand, if she missed one particular note out of being anxious, then it would practically ruin the whole song.
"Nah, I wouldn't even try to make a complete fool of myself. Don't be so silly," she replied.
The peach colored echidna searched out the place for something to persuade the pink hedgehog to sing for the public. Bu tit seems like Rouge beat her to it.
"Well, I can see one good reason Amy would sing her heart out," Rouge smiled mischievously, looking in a particular direction, which was behind Amy.
Amy turned around in her seat to see what Rouge was getting at. Her heart almost skipped a series of seven beats.
Sonikku!
Her hair wrapped in a white terry cloth towel and her body in a robe, Amy walked in a daze towards her room to get dressed.
Oh.
It occurred to her that after all this time, she wondered what Shadow must be doing at this time, since he's working for GUN now.
"Shadow……maybe he can see me sing too, maybe put a smile on his face for once. Yeah, that'll be a nice thing to happen for once," Amy giggled to herself.
"So he can hear me sing too…….and notice me for it." She whispered dreamily in a trance, then she speedily caught on to what she had just uttered from her lips. Why would she think of her true love's rival like THAT? They're just friends and that's about all there is to it.
Interrupting her thoughts was a sharp throb that surged through her sensitive feet.
"Ouch! What in the world did I step on?," she exclaimed in pain.
Frustration soon turned into astonishment when she picked up a large, alluring sapphire into her palm. Hypnotized by its beauty, Amy wondered where a pretty jewel such as this had come from? Surely it isn't a Chaos Emerald, but somehow it has a power that can rival all seven Chaos Emeralds' energy combined! Also, nobody would be silly enough to break in her house and drop something off at her house.
So, what exactly is it?
"This - this is way too precious to be seen! I have to hide it somewhere safe."
Amy looked for a secure place to keep the gem until she comes back from her daily needs.
"Hmmm, no not there……nah, too obvious……AHA!" The teen placed the sapphire in her Hope Chest, where nobody bothers to look in anyways only because it has everything Sonic related. Except for that one photo where she took a photo of a disgruntled Shadow. Her fingertips picked up the forgotten photo by chance and she stared at it for a long time.
It was the only time she ever got Shadow to smile, even just a little. Funny.
Closing the picture and the discovered treasure in the chest and locking in into security, Amy proceeded to dress in her usual headband, red dress and red boots and headed out of the door towards Tails' workshop.
It was dark.
You'll be of very good benefit to my plan……
The place was too dark, too dark that she couldn't see her hands moving. And it was substantially freezing where she was.
This time, the genius nature you have is holding a power held both precious and for manipulative purposes…….
Consciousness slowly crept to her strength. It appeared that she was in a dark, cold cell. It felt as though she had been knocked out of her senses without even seeing what was going on. The pink haired girl couldn't remember anything at all.
Then she heard that laughter.
Now she remembered! She was kidnapped from her safe and peaceful home, not knowing the reason as to this happening and confused to the point of crying out in protest.
"So, you are awake."
A voice thundered down from above the tiny pretty girl. Her petrified eyes slowly trailed up into the cold eyes of a egg shaped man.
"W-w-wh-wh-where am I?" she whimpered. Tears of fright were coming close to pouring out of her eyes.
The egg man chuckled. "My dear, I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Eggman, and I have taken you out of your home from the heavens for one reason and one reason only."
The goddess waited for the justification patiently, but unwarily.
"You see, you are the goddess Agapelle, the sole being of a certain kind of love that hardly anybody holds. If I can get a hold of you, then there are no limits as to what I can control! It's brilliant!"
Agapelle didn't like the sounds of this 'plan'. If it involved in obtaining her power, he's certainly can't get it!
"Wh-what are you going to do to me? Are you going to hu-hurt me?"
"Oh, I have very specific plans for you, Agapelle. Yes I do…" he muttered manically.
All the young goddess has to do is contact her sisters with her Serenity Sapphire and they'll be alerted right away. She tried to feel around for her precious jewel.
Uh oh…….
My sapphire! It's gone! My power's gone and I don't where it is or who has it!
