“ Oh humor me, your ROYAL highness! You haven’t even given me a chance to speak my piece! ” Eggman barked. Bah! Every time he tries to socialize reasonably, it starts like this. With some distress, Eggman tugged at his mustache as the alien princess stared up at him. Shadow, Crumbles and Sonic were all allowed their friendly battles with each other, so what made Eggman so different? Perhaps its time he stop trying to interact with socially estranged teenagers...

Hiding the quick grimace at the comment of Cream; still eager to hold onto the bits of the conversation left, he continued. “ Haven’t you even the slightest curiosity? I don’t go out of my way this often! ”

Straightening his position and pressing down his jacket, Doctor Eggman released a huff as he salvaged his composure. For as regal and put together as she appeared, it was quick to forget she was just another rodent in a fresh coat of paint. But unlike his own rodent, she didn’t push him to pray for death every time she spoke.

“ If you would like to know, it is because I find your abilities superior to Sonic. ” What he would GIVE to trade places with a certain egg-shaped negative ... He might have more fun in the Sol Dimension. “ Seeking the Sol Emeralds was the best thing I could have ever done! Do you know how exhilarating it was to battle you? ” 

Oh. My. God.

No! No way you said that out loud! There’s no way, Miss Amy Rose! Despite her static exterior, the hedgehog was hitting herself with fifty different hammers on the inside at the others question. Sonic’s Future Sweetheart stared blankly, taking a moment to gather her thoughts, before finally putting together a pathetic string of words.

“ Like ahm. Ah... ” It was strange to see the social butterfly unable to take flight, but in a rare display of projecting her thoughts she forgotten the first steps. Silly Amy. “ I didn’t mean - I - ”

“ Fascinates...? ” Her mind jumped immediately to the end of Blaze’s statements. Her learned logic dictated she had no right over who fawned over Sonic, nor did she have the right to choose who he ended up with. Free as the wind, he would be impossible to restrain. But as (probably) the first girl in his life, she can’t help but always feel a little ... threatened.

     Uh oh — she’s immediately jumping to action with a shake of her head, Cheese mimicking the same action alongside her.

Amy prided herself on being the practical head of the group. After all, why shouldn’t she? The hammer-heart had fought hard to change the number one fan girl image of herself. But alas, obsessions were hard to kill. And every so often she would lash out at those who threatened her spot at the top of the list.

... Unfortunately, the victim this time just happened to be someone Amy cared for a lot and hadn’t been able to stop thinking of since. Whoops. From hedgehog-stealer to war crazy dictator, her fantasies have certainly been putting Amy to work. Luckily for Amy, reality would be just a floating island away.

As suggested, Amy returned to the island with carefully selected gift basket in tow. Strawberry scented candles with a box of tea to match, cookies, a stuffed toy, a handmade apology card and a small bouquet of flowers. Decorated just as sweet with a bright red bow. While uncertain if this would be able to stave off a cross-dimensional royal rumble, it was assured with previous experience this would bring a fiery spirit down to a civilized mood. The basket was placed a respectable distance from the emerald as Amy approached her co-pilot; continuously grateful for the reminder that her head could get away from her at times.

“ How’re things looking, champ? ” She tapped a finger to her cheek, with a strange pitch in her voice. If only getting to the Sol Dimension was as easy as sending a postcard! But Blaze would probably send back those letters with a big ol’ RETURN TO SENDER stamp. The hedgehog shook her head with a forced chuckle and properly faced Knuckles. “ Please say good. I’m not sure how long I can resist that gift basket. ”
