CH2 /
“Hello there.” Amy felt long hair touch her shoulder. The
pink mermaid turned around and saw bright blue eyes and long orange hair
floating all around them. Her long locks reminded Amy of an octopus before it
attacked. “What are you thinking right now?”
“That your hair looks like an octopus about to eat me.” Amy
answered with a smirk.
The girl did a flip as she laughed. “You must know no fear
then.” She sat beside her.
“What have you been up to Tikal?” Amy mused.
“Oh, you know, ghostly, spirit things.” Tikal placed her
chin in the palm of her hand. Her eyes shifted from the reef to the pink
mermaid. “There’s something different about you. What happened today?”
“Oh, nothing.” Amy shrugged.
“You’re lyyying,” Tikal sang as she laid in the mermaid’s
lap. “I know that look. I’ve seen it before. So tell me about your day.” A
smirk was on Tikal’s face.
Amy could tell that those sapphire eyes knew everything, but
wanted to be told anyway. She sighed as spilled her tale and the new emotions
that were stirring in her chest for the blue hedgehog she had saved.
“Oh! You’re in love!” Tikal squealed as she gave Amy a tight
hug.
Amy gasped as the sudden hug. Even though Tikal was a ghost,
she could still give very tight hugs. Amy didn’t understand how, but it was
just a thing about the echidna.
“It’s a shame that he’s a land dweller though.” Tikal
hummed. “Unless…” She bit her thumb. “Nah. That’s probably not a good idea.”
Amy perked up at the orange echidna’s mumbling. “What are
you…?”
“Are you longing to see him again?” Tikal gave the pink
hedgehog an almost pitiful look.
“I am,” Amy admitted, tears coming to her emerald eyes. “But
as a mermaid I could never be with him.”
“Not without the help of a witch.” Tikal muttered.
“Hah! Where am I going to find a witch?” Amy laughed.
“Right. Where would you find one? Hehahaha…” Tikal’s nervous
laugh caught Amy’s attention.
“You know one?” Amy sprung up, knocking the ghost off of her
lap.
“Listen Amy, things like that come at a price.” Tikal cried.
“Are you sure any price will be worth a chance at love?”
Amy paused for a moment. “I think so.”
Tikal looked sadly at the girl. “Well, let’s give it a week.
If you’re still willing to pay any price by the end of the week for your chance
at love, I’ll take you to the witch.”
Amy nodded in agreement.
She rose to the
surface of the water carefully. Her longing was too much for her. She swam
around the shore looking for any sign of the blue hedgehog. It was late at
night, but she was still hoping she could see him. She pouted as she didn’t
find him anywhere near the shore. She swam into a cave and sat up on its
shallow shore.
A sad melody floated in the air.
Sonic paused in the middle of the forest. He was out for his
midnight run with his friend. “Do you hear that?” He turned to the hedgehog
with him.
“Yes,” Shadow the Hedgehog nodded. “It sounds like its close
by.”
“It’s a beautiful song.” Sonic walked towards the sound.
“It is.” Shadow nodded in agreement as he walked towards the
sound. “Want to race for it?”
Sonic laughed, “Loser buys dinner.”
Shadow nodded and he zipped off. Sonic called out as he
followed.
Shadow ran into a cave entrance in the forest. It was
normally a home for bears, but he could out run them. He zipped through the
long passageways. There were a lot of routes in the cave that it probably
wouldn’t surprise him if it connected to more caves.
It was a light pink form. Long quills came down to her back.
He couldn’t see much, but he could see the clear curves of her silhouette.
“Whew! I made it!” Sonic cheered as he appeared beside
Shadow. “So who’s the source of that way past cool song?” He craned his face
over.
The girl had heard Sonic’s blabbering and turned around. Her
emerald eyes were wide in shock and her mouth quickly shut tight.
“Oh hey! I remember you!” Sonic waved. “You’re that girl who
saved my butt.”
Shadow arched an eyebrow. “That’s the one who brought you to
shore? She must be strong to lug your heavy butt back to shore.” He turned to
look at the girl again only to notice that she wasn’t properly dressed. Shadow
felt the blood spill out of his nose.
Amy remained frozen in terror. She had been sad that she
couldn’t find the blue hedgehog and then he appeared. She had only wanted to
see him, but the fact that he could also see her scared her. What should she
do? What should she say? How would he react if he found out she was a mermaid?
So many questions were rushing through her head.
Amy unfroze as a jacket hit her in the face. She held the
jacket curiously. Her emerald eyes staring curiously at the strange cloth.
“Please put on some clothes,” Shadow was covering his nose,
trying to discreetly pinch it to stop the bleeding.
“Oh my bad!” Sonic added as he turned away. He turned the
black hedgehog around too. “Let us know when you’re dressed appropriately. We
can talk then.”
Amy stared for a moment as she watched the blue hedgehog tap
his foot on the ground. She looked down at the jacket. She had no clue how it
should be worn. She turned back into the water, clutching the jacket to her
chest. She dove into the water and small away.
“You know that song you were singing was really neat,” Sonic
tried to make small talk after a moment. He had heard the water splash and
presumed she had gotten out. “What’s the name of it? You have a real nice
singing voice. We’re having an event at the palace soon, if you wouldn’t mind,
I’d like to have you come sing.”
Sonic hated silence. It annoyed him. After two minutes of no
response, he turned around. “Where’d she go?” Sonic placed his hands on his
hips. “I wish I could have gotten her name.”
“Well maybe we made frightened her.” Shadow mumbled.
“Is your nose bleeding?” Sonic leaned in closer to Shadow’s
face.
“No!” Shadow yelled as he took a step back. His hand,
however, wasn’t covering his face.
“Yes you are!” Sonic pointed out loudly. He stood
triumphantly for a brief moment. “Well that’s a first. Who knew naked women
would cause you to get nose bleeds? And after all those years with Rouge.”
