Revelations
Tails was frantically flying over the
city, looking for a distraught pink furred hedgehog, a hedgehog that was once
love struck but is now a heartbroken hedgehog, courtesy of a certain echidna's
ignorance. Knuckles had just dropped the bomb on Amy telling her that Sonic was
going out with Sally. For what reason Knuckles blew Amy off like that was beyond
him; it would have been easier if it was Sonic who told her, but it didn't
look like he cared at the moment; in fact, it didn't look like he cared at
all. She then ran off and that's why he was out looking for her. He was about
to take it to Knux, but Princess Sally stopped him and sent him after Amy. No
matter… he will settle things with Knuckles later. Right now he just spotted a
blue streak traveling below him, who he has come to know as Sonic, the fastest
hedgehog alive.
"Hey, Tails!"
"Sonic!" Tails called, flying lower.
"Did you see anything?"
Sonic shook his head. "Nothing yet,
bud. But we'll find her."
"I hope so…" Tails sighed. "I
can't believe Knuckles blew her off like that! He should know how sensitive Amy
could be sometimes!"
Sonic got an indignant look, then a
mischievous grin. "Tails… you wouldn't be falling for Amy now, would ya??
"No…! Of course not…!" Tails
blinked, starting to blush. "What makes you say that…?"
"Hmm… no reason," Sonic smiled.
"Anyway, I agree with you about Knux. Something's wrong with him, but
don't worry, bud. If anyone can find it out its Sal and Hershey."

The beach, the perfect place to spend a
day like this. One lays on a private beach provided another hotel in Station
Square. It was not as crowded as the city's main hotel, but just as classy,
which is why this hedgehog was here and not at the main hotel. Personal service
on the beach shores was the other reason. The hedgehog kicked back on his beach
chair, under the umbrella and removed his blue and white high tops.
"Excuse me, kind sir," he said of
the approaching waiter. "Would you be so kind as to bring me a drink?"
"Yes, sir," the waiter replied.
"Please… call me Aqua."
"Yes, Mr. Aqua." Aqua sighed; there
was no use. "What drink may I bring you, Mr. Aqua?"
"Let me get a Barq's. I feel like a
little somethin' with bite."
"Yes, sir. And, if you don't mind my
asking, you do look similar to a well know person around here… would you be
related to Sonic?"
Aqua thought for a second. "Sonic
who?" Then his eyes brightened. "You mean Sonic the Hedgehog? He's here?
Kewl! Unfortunately, no… I'm not related to him, and I can't even come close
to matching his speed… I'd like to meet him though…"
The waiter took a break to bring the
drink and then they talked some more. They talked about Sonic, all he did for
the people of Station Square, how grateful they were for him, and how much they
owed to him. They continued to talk until they heard someone crying for help.
"What was that?" the waiter asked, a
bit shaken.
"Sounded like someone is in trouble. I
better go check it out." He was about to run off when… "Um… could you
keep that cold for me…?"
"Of course, Mr. Aqua."
"Thanks!" he called, blazing off.

Amy stood frozen in place. She was faced
with someone worse than Eggman himself. It was the robot that had been chasing
her before she was captured. And, now he was back, no doubt to chase her again.
She bolted to the side as the robot, codename: Zero, bent down to grab her; he
miss her but her bird friend wasn't so lucky.
"Put him down, you creep!" Amy took
out her hammer and gave the robot a big wallop, however only toppled him to the
ground. Zero released the bird as he fell, letting him fly back to her.
Zero, angry, overheating, and
malfunctioning, stood up and threw a blind punch, hitting Amy squarely and
sending her flying. Zero was obviously malfunctioning; Eggman had already
captured her and gotten the Chaos Emerald.
So why is he chasing me still? she
thought before getting hit.
Zero hovered over Amy as she struggled
to get up. Being unable to, she tried to drag herself along the ground to get
away. Zero simply picked her up by the midsection and squeezed her to keep her
from escaping once again. Obviously heading back to Eggman's headquarters, the
robot started from the spot of his ambush until something attacked the arm he
was carrying his prisoner in, momentarily seizing it up and dropping the pink
furred hedgehog, whom of which was saved from hitting the floor by the fast
actions of a blue streak. The source of the blue streak stopped in front of
Zero, who did a scan of him and calculations in his head; this hedgehog didn't
match up to the speedy hedgehog called Sonic that he encountered a few days ago,
but still looked similar to him. He was smaller than Sonic, slightly bigger than
Amy, and his fur was a shade of aqua (turquoise) and he had greenish eyes,
wearing blue and white shoes.
Amy, who the hedgehog down on the
ground, was able to find the strength to turn over and find out whom her rescuer
was. "S-Sonic…? I-is that you…?"
"Sorry to disappoint you," he said,
"but I'm not Sonic. I am Aqua. Pleased to meet ya."
"Look out!"
Aqua turned around in time to see a
robotic fist flying at him, which he easily dodged. He also pledged his attack;
he ran towards the robot, jumping in the air. He homed in on Zero and attack,
only to painfully bounce off of it.
"Ow, ow, ow, OW! This one isn't as
clunky as it looks… let's juice!"
Chibi-Sonic: Hey! That's my line…
Chibi-Aqua: [smugly] Get over it.
Aqua picked up Amy who was holding her
bird friend, and blazed away from Zero, who was way too slow to even think of catching
up.

Sally sat down across from an indignant
Knuckles, sipping a cup of tea that was prepared for her by Hershey. Hershey was
standing to her right. Sally sat there drinking patiently while Hershey looked
as if she was restraining herself from wrapping her claws around his neck. Sally
finally spoke.
"So Knuckles… would you care to
explain to us what just happened?"
"Not really, no," he replied smugly.
Sally stared at him. "What." She was still looking at him. "Oh, all
right…"
"Now, what's going on?" Hershey
hissed, advancing, only to be waved back by the princess.
"It's Amy… I can't stand the way
she acts around Sonic."
"All of us doesn't like the way she
acts around him, Knuckles," Sally told him quietly. "But why did you blow her off
like that? It's like you took it up to the next level… why can't you leave
her be?"
"Because I had a crush on her!" he
blurted out loudly. Both Sally and
Hershey were taken back, looking at each other, then back at Knuckles. "Yeah,
it's true… I used to like Amy. This was ever since she used the power of a Chaos
Emerald to get older. But she was always running after Sonic and worshipping the
ground under his feet and didn't care about anyone else. At first I was mad
with Sonic because of the attention she was giving him, but then I couldn't
stay mad with him because he didn't do anything; also, he was oblivious to her
feelings and wasn't interested in her. So I just grew farther apart from her
than I already was."
"If this is true… why didn't you
just tell her your feelings, Knux?" Hershey said a lot more softly, feeling
compassion for him. "That would have to at least stand for something…"
"It doesn't matter now!" Knuckles
said, getting cold again. "I've already found myself someone."
"What? Who?"
"That's for me to know and you not
to, Hershey!"
"But how can you just deny your love
like that?" she complained, getting irritated.
Knuckles flashed her a look, making her
step back. "Like you're a fine one to talk! What about you and St. Geoffrey?
He loves you off and you avoid him! He wants your body and you won't even give
him a piece!"
Hershey hung her head down. "It's
not like that… it's not the same…"
"It's exactly the same! Geoffrey likes
you and you don't like him, just like Amy and me! Don't tell me it's not
the same."
Hershey turned away wiping tears.
"That's enough, Knuckles," Sally
interrupted, eying Hershey suspiciously. "Could you
at least try to be nicer to Amy?"
"No guarantees," Knuckles replied,
crossing his arms.
Sally just sighed and shook her head. "C'mon, Hershey… let's try and
find Amy."

Tails was now walking next to Sonic
after searching up and down for Amy who seems to have mysteriously disappeared.
"Gee… I hope Amy is all right…"
"Me too, but there's something else
I was thinking about."
"You mean that new hedgehog that
blazed past us?" Tails asked.
"Yeah. I want to know where he came
from and what he's doing here."
"Well it doesn't look like he's
here for trouble… usually when they're here for trouble, they attack us, so
maybe that's a good thing…?"
Sonic scratched his chin before starting
to run again. "Maybe."

"Ready, Hershey?" Sally called to
her from the hotel.
"Just about, princess…" she
replied, sighing.
Hershey was taking to heart what
Knuckles had just told her. He said that she should go out with St. Geoffrey;
like she told him he should go out with Amy. But she couldn't go out with
him… she couldn't even face him… he had betrayed her trust.
~*Flashback*~
St. Geoffrey was heading the security
team in plans to defend the Sword of Acorns from Kodos, Arachnis and anyone else
who wished to steal it for its power. Sally's father, the king, became
paralyzed after fighting without it some time ago. As a result, his son,
Sally's brother, Elias, was put on the throne to be the capable king of the
land. Also, St. Geoffrey was assigned as his vizier to guide him and his
decisions. St. Geoffrey was the head of security, and used his authority when
necessary… and unnecessary…
They had just finished having a meeting
and Hershey was cleaning up the meeting room, as it was her turn to do so.
Everyone else had gone to their quarters and elsewhere and were nowhere near
where se was… all except one. Geoffrey had been standing by the door watching
the Oreo coloured vixen while she worked. She cleaned briskly, humming to herself,
her tail dancing up high swaying back and forth, sometimes revealing what it was
that Geoffrey lusted for. He walked over and stood menacingly over her petite
frame, startling her.
"St. Geoffrey!" she gasped. "What
are you doing here?"
"Hershey… I wanted to show you
something I've meant to show you a long time ago."
Hershey was taken back. Her eyes
shimmered as her mind raced with anticipation. Has he come to as what I think
he's going to ask? she thought to her self. Is he finally going to ask me
out? "What is it?" she asked, almost breathlessly, searching his eyes.
"This…"
Without warning, he planted a kiss on
Hershey, who hadn't been expecting it, and she let loose. She did have her eye on Geoffrey for a while; she wasn't sure if she should
pursue him or not. Now he was there, doing this. She wrapped her arms around his
neck as he put his around her hips, drawing him into a deeper kiss. She played
with his silvery white locks as she started to feel weak in the knees; Geoffrey
sensed this and supported her weight in his arms. She pushed her body against
him wanting to feel his warmth. She was
enjoying the back massage she was receiving from him… until he did something unexpected. His hand
wandered from her back to her tummy and started to slip under her tunic, which
she wasn't exactly ready for yet. She broke their kiss.



"What are you doing?" she asked, locking eyes.



"Showing you what I wanted to show you."



Hershey gasped as his hand slipped all the way under her tunic; at that point
she tried to push him away, but he just pulled her in closer. He didn't stop
massaging his hands and she didn't like it.



"Stop it, Geoffrey!"



"You cannot stop me, Hershey," he replied coldly.
"I am your superior and you shall do what I say.
If you do not, then I can have you thrown from the castle!"



"Let go of me!"



She started to fight with him until he shoved her into the table, making her
fall to the floor.


~*End
Flashback*~



At that point, Geoffrey had ripped off her tunic, and… she didn't want to
think about it anymore… St. Geoffrey… her superior, and the only one she trusted
in that aspect, had broken her trust… how could Knuckles tell her what
he did, then? How could he tell her to go out with that monster? Of course, she hadn't told him, Sally or anyone else about what
happened, in fear of being exiled by Geoffrey. She continued to scold herself
for even bringing up the subject when Sally undetectably came up from behind, to
find her in tears.



"Hershey… what's wrong?"



Hershey jumped at the princess' voice. "Princess Sally…! N-nothing's
wrong…" she lied, drying her eyes quickly.



Sally looked at her straight. "Hershey… don't tell me that. I come over
here and find you in tears. Something's obviously wrong, so tell me what it
is."



Hershey's eyes started watering again. "Oh, princess… I don't know if I
can…"



"Come. We'll go back to the hotel and you can tell me all about it."



"Okay…" Hershey replied quietly, resting her arms at her side and looking
at the floor, as Sally
threw an arm over her shoulders.
They started to head back to the hotel.

Knuckles arrived at his destination to be greeted by two arms hugging him around
from behind. He turned around to find the girl his affections had been given to.
She looked at him seductively and lovingly.



"So… have they figured me out yet?" she asked, caressing Knuckles neck.



"They tried to," he replied, irritation apparent in his voice, "but they
have to do better than that to get information out of me."



"I'm glad," she kissed him. "That was one
of the reasons I love you so much."



"Really?" he asked teasingly. "What was the other reason?"



"Like you have to ask," she giggled. "Let me show you…"



The girl led him to her bedroom.

Aqua had been running with Amy in his arms for a while. He had long escaped
Zero's long-range sensors, but he wanted to make sure they were safe. He
finally stopped letting Amy and her friend down. She dusted herself off as her
friend flew above her head and her rescuer stood guard.



"Are you all right?" he asked, turning to her.



"Yes… thanks to you…" she replied, slightly blushing. "Funny… you
look exactly like Sonic, except a different colour…"



"So I've heard," he said smiling at her. His smile faded as he saw a dust
cloud racing in their direction. "Someone's coming!"



Amy looked in the direction and instantly knew who it was. "It's Sonic!"



"Then that's my cue to shoo."



"Aww… can't you stay longer…?"



"I'd love to but duty calls."



Aqua bowed to her and blazed out of sight, leaving Amy staring in his direction
in a dreamy state. Just then Sonic and Tails arrived and she was met with a
million questions.



"Amy! Are you all right?" Tails shot.



"Yes…" she replied, airily.



"What happened?" Sonic asked.



"Zero that robot tried to get me again, but some strange hedgehog saved
me…" Sonic and Tails looked at each other as she sighed. "He's my
hero…"





Chibi-Akuji:
Hey! How's my story going? Did ya like this chapter? As you can see, I don't
like St. Geoffrey very much, and he has something coming to him [evil grin].
Anyway… I believe that Hershey could do a lot better than him, and deserves
better too. Will she get someone to treat her proper? Will Amy get this new
hedgehog? Who is Knuckles mysterious lover? Gotta keep reading to find out.
[giggles] Be seeing ya!
