         — @tinkiisms​ said: “you two make a cute couple.”

That was an interesting spot to sleep in, or so the little robot thought anyway, and it gave her some ideas. Taking one of the palettes in hand she loaded it up with natural tones at first, greens, browns, tans before following those up with some much brighter colors.

After a few moments of silently staring at the canvas Omega got to work. Having never done this before her brushstrokes were slow, methodical even, since she did not want to miss up. Especially since she had absolutely no idea how to fix mistakes. This kind of canvas did not have an undo button after all.

“You’ll see when I’m done.”

          amy may have given the little robot a look at the answer but she laughed, a soft sound, and turned back to her own canvas. really she should have been asking herself that question since there were far too many ideas buzzing around her head for her to pick one right away. she painted landscapes all the time, and self-portraits a little less often but still often enough. she wanted to do something new. 

         a hum left the pink hedgehog as she looked around, casting just a glance at her teammate (fast asleep from the look of it) and then to the little robot. realization hit her soon after and, while omega had chosen a woodland palette, amy went one a little more red-based, with a few splashed of yellows, blacks and just a touch of green.

          the hedgehog’s own strokes were messy at first as she laid the groundwork of her painting but soon become smooth and precise the more time went on. things were clearly coming along well because in no time at all the heroine was smiling to herself. beaming really.  

Curious even more so about how this whole ordeal was supposed to unfold Serinaty listens eagerly. A twitch of the tail had been given expecting some kind of surprise in case something new wanted to pop up.

“I hope we see the bad one then. That seems like a fun fight, sounds more fair than against a god.” 

At least so it sounds. “Or maybe we can find some of those robots you guys mentioned on my last visit. Who was it that you usually fight?”

          this time it was sonic who spoke, shaking his head before answering the first little mystery. hopefully the kitsune didn’t have her hopes set too high on a fight because they weren’t bound to get one from the snake. ❝ trust me, we won’t be seeing lyric again for a long time. we fought him a few years ago, beat him and locked him up. the only trouble he’s making nowadays is annoying prison guards. ❞

          while both hedgehogs exchanged a glance at the mention of a ‘god’, either they were too polite to ask or serinaty’s next question drew their attention away from the chance. judging from their faces, it might have been the latter and they didn't seem amused by the subject matter. or rather, the person themselves.

     Knuckles didn’t expect much change from other people, not since they had found out their Zone had locked down for three years. He knew that time worked differently in different parts of the Multiverse and he wasn’t about to spend time trying to make sense of it. YEARS had passed and there was nothing he or anyone else could do about it but accept it and move on. He had to explain a few things but so what?

     “Long story short, a demi-god thought it was a good idea to hit me in the face. I survived, my eye didn’t,” he said, bluntly and truthfully. “Things got pretty bad around here over the last three years so losing one eye was a miracle.”

          that wasn’t what they were expecting to hear and knuckles’ bluntness didn’t leave much to the imagination either. they hadn’t even know demi-gods existed in that zone, or any zone really. both hedgehogs had assumed they were something of a myth more than anything but they didn’t have the heart to doubt the echidna.

          “are you alright at least...?” that was the most important question and there was no hiding the worry on amy’s face. she hadn’t liked the part about things getting bad but it did help to explain a few things. 

Your element is WATER.

There is a lot of depth to you, probably much more than you let on. You prefer peace and little conflict but have no issue standing your ground when you are wronged. You have deep emotional currents, some you can't even explain, many might be intuitive. You must remember that despite your strong empathy, you cannot judge people so quickly. You also need to learn that it is okay to say no. Your avoidance of problems leaves you in more trouble then when you deal with them. That aside you are seen to be full of love and wonderful energy. You can help people relax and bring them back to a healthy state from a toxic one.

Your element is FIRE.

     Maybe it was just how Amy handled watching Harmony on occasion for him that had lead to the comment. Or it could have been just because the older hybrid could see how motherly she could be in general. In any case, it wasn’t something he was actually going to bring up because he didn’t want to embarrass his friend, and the vast majority of his attention was on their respected racers.

     The race was just starting to get to what could be considered the halfway mark, and Volt leaned forward just a bit more. Around this time in the last race, his daughter had, was when she had gone too far. So there was a little more apprehension in the way he kept his attention to the two below. He wasn’t sure how he would handle the situation if Harmony overdid it again, or how thrilled Dr. Quack would be to have them all showing up in his waiting room. 

     Time was going to have to tell on how this all played out.

     “Yer one ta talk!” Harmony had to playfully shoot Sonic’s words right back at him, even going to far as trying to swipe at his shoe with her hand when they were close enough. The glow was something that had quickly gained her attention as the hero placed more of a gap between them, but she quickly caught back up. She wasn’t going to let him get too far ahead. 

     The soft panting aside, the ten-year-old was having the most fun she had in quite a while. Their rapid footsteps had some of the local ferals running away, but that was farthest from Harmony’s mind. For once, she wasn’t thinking about what she was going to catch them for dinner. Emerald eyes were steps ahead of even her, mapping out the course that would be best for her compared to Sonic. With spots that she could squeeze through without issue, but only just, and allowed her to show off a little bit by bouncing along the terrain of logs, rocks and the sides of trees. 

     “Runnin’ in the woods is what I was made fer!”

          amy noticed the change in volt’s mannerisms, the small movement caught out of the corner of her eye, but she didn’t mention it. while she didn’t necessarily know if it was because he was into the race or worried that the competition might go south, she imagined it had a lot to do with what he had told the hedgehog pair before it had started. it sounded like harmony pushing herself wasn’t always a good thing, and didn’t always yield the best results. 

          she didn’t think anything bad was going to happen this time though. even if it did amy knew that her teammate would be on the problem in the blink of an eye, at least that’s what she hoped. 

          what probably wasn’t going to help volt’s concerns was the fact that every time harmony did catch up with the speedster he’d wait just a few seconds before increasing their overall speed again. it was in small increments, hardly noticeable at the time they happened, but there was no doubt that they had picked up a lot of speed since the start of the race and the straightaway made that fact very noticeable. however with the pair entering the forest, even sonic had to slow down a little bit again. the race was important and all but spraining an ankle wasn’t ideal. it sure wasn’t stopping harmony though and, for that, she had his full respect. 

          and she definitely had him there. if there was one thing that he wasn’t built for it was running in congested places and he was far too tall to maneuver through gaps and shortcuts like harmony was. that didn’t mean he didn’t have a few tricks up his non-existent sleeves, or wasn’t able to follow her lead by bounding off logs and flatter areas himself but he’d admit it lacked the finesse that the girl had. that and her few shortcuts had rewarded her with a small lead on the hedgehog. 

“Maybe I’ll do that.” Nodding in agreement with her prior suggestion on asking their two tailed friend for help, after all it was an alternate of that same fox who’d built it at the end of the day, Dan was sure even across the realms he’d be able to piece things together to work once more. “It would give me an excuse to visit Tails, I just haven’t really gone to bother him since he seems quite invested in his work.”

As they progressed back towards Amy’s home, Dan continued to listen to her as she explained how she’d ended up stumbling across these areas that escaped even Sonic’s awareness.

“Ingredients? Crafts? Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a cook then? or maybe something else entirely?” Not that he couldn’t see her as a cook or chef, in fact he could completely see it given how she was, still it was a little difficult to imagine Amy could be such a tomboy yet still hold such a ‘girly’ side.

“I actually had Knuckles under the thought of being a chef for your group, the one I know elsewhere is something of an expert much to my surprise.”

          “he’s always working, a break would do him some good.” in fact, amy would insist that dan interrupt whatever it was the fox was caught up in these days. tails was like a little brother to her but the heroine would be the first to admit that he had a way of getting lost in his work and that simply wasn’t healthy. if no one came to see him every once in awhile tails would probably keep working from sun up to sun down, day in and day out. 

          amy couldn’t always do that, but sonic was pretty good at checking in with the fox and that might have been the only reason tails hadn’t lost his marbles yet. sonic was about the only one on their team who could be around the fox while they were talking about their inventions and future plans, regardless of his lack of understanding. still, that was a topic for later and she smiled at dan’s questions, albeit a tad sheepishly. 

          “i do. i’ve been living on my own for so long that it just made sense to learn how to cook, and it turns out that i love it.” she adored it and wasn't half bad at it if she did say so herself. she preferred fancier meals though, seeing nothing wrong with spending a few extra hours for a meal that was going to be spectacular. “and i do crafts in my spare time but i like using natural ingredients. the island’s full of them so it’s easy to find them.” 

Off after Amy she smiles liking that there seemed to be an answer for almost everything. On to see more of this world as they move along she gazed around at the varying things. Nature here seemed rather healthy enough compared to most human planets. 

“Is that so?” Came the question as she began to talk about the ruins absorbing this information like a sponge. “Anything else interesting about them?” Serinaty sniffed at the air for any signs of some anomalies on this adventure. “There’s no plans of surprise visitors are there?”

          the island was the very definition of ‘thriving’ in terms of planet life. there were few people on the island itself so nature was free to grow as it pleased in most areas, and its display was beautiful. it was one of the reasons someone like sonic had decided to stay there at all, and one of the things amy loved most about it. not to mention all the room to run around and the adventures to be had.

          like the one they were on now, for instance. maybe they weren't going somewhere new, and maybe it wasn’t going to be the most exciting adventure, but the hedgehogs were clearly happy with it. and amy was even happier when the kitsune asked about the people who had built the ruins in the first place.
