Aqua's POV

"I said; get your slimy metal hands OFF my friend! Hiyaa!"

I stood frozen, watching Amy; the sweet but tough pink Hedgehog smashing the two Eggbots with her famous weapon 'Piko Piko Hammer'. She panted after the Eggbots were smashed into pieces.

"A-Amy...?" I flinch, cold sweated when she snap her glare at me.

I almost was tempted to run the heck away when she stormed over to me, I thought she was going to hit me with her Piko Piko hammer, but I was wrong. My eyes widen in shock when she suddenly hugged me.

"Idiot..." She whispered near my ear while she hugged me "You'r not alone anymore Aqua, all you needed to do was just ask for help."

She pulled back smiling kindly at me holding my hands.

"Amy..." Tears threaten to escape, my heart clinch and happiness hit my heart.

"I agree with Ames." I jump startled, Sonic zoomed to Amy and my side grinning.

"S-Sonic...?"

He winks giving me a thumbs up, I felt so overwhelm from their kindness I tackled Sonic hugging him tightly.

"Th-thank you s-so much!"

He hugged me back chuckling, I step away smiling shyly. I apologized but he shrugged smiling at me. I never knew this but...Sonic is like a brother to me, Amy was like a tough sister. Cream was my adorable little sister, Tails was the smart little brother. I may have forgotten my past but...these people- strangers, helped me more than anyone ever could, giving me a roof over my head, friendship and most of all...a family. Their my family, well crazy weird family but their my crazy weird family.

"Now here, I believe this belongs to you milady."

I gasp when he shows me the Fire Crystal Orb in his hand! But my happy smile turn into a frown, I gently pick up the Fire Crystal Orb from Sonic's hand. My fear hit my heart.

"No..."

"Aqua? What's wrong?" Amy spoke up walk over to my side worried.

"The Fire Crystal Orb...i-it's..." shadows cover my eyes "It's tainted." Both look at the Fire Crystal orb in my hands, gasp in horror.

The Fire Crystal Orb was one of the fierce's, but strongest element and it wasn't glowing. Now it lay in my trembling hands, dull, and crack across the orb. I have...failed, I failed the Fire Crystal Orb, I failed Rosa, and most of all I failed the world's! Now, because of my failure the people and animals will perish.

My legs felt weak, falling to the ground staring at the dull crack orb of the fire. I blocked everything out, I felt...stupid. I let Eggman take the Fire Crystal Orb, I'm a failure.

At Chris's House

Five Hours Later

Everyone; Sonic, Amy, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, Cheese, Chris, Garnet and Bianca sat around the living room in silence. It was a sad moment, their new friend locked herself in her room, and they can hear her sobs causing some to lower their ears in sadness and hopelessness.

"What do we do Mr. Sonic? We can't let Ms. Aqua stay in her room like this." Cream spoke up almost in tears.

Sonic sighs, he shook his head "I don't know Cream, but we are her friends, old and new."

"And we wont let any of our friends to suffer alone." Chris put his two cents in. Bianca nodded.

"I agree. I lost her once, I wont a second time!"

"Ah agree sug, theirs gotta be something we can do to help her." Garnet said while she fix her top.

"I know!" Amy stood up in excitement "Bianca, when is Aqua's birthday?"

She tilt her head in confusion "Um...April 18th, but it's pass that sadly. Why ask?"

She grins "Here's what we are going to do! Cream, Cheese and Garnet you get-"

Amy than tells them what each person suppose to do, and then they quickly left. Sonic though zoomed up the stairs stopping at Aqua's door, knocking on it.

*Knock, knock*

"Aqua? Hey um, it's me Sonic. I was wondering if you like to go on a walk with me?"

It was silent for a while until a soft but broken voice spoke up.

Aqua's POV

I was holding the crack and dull Fire Crystal Orb, I hated this feeling, this feeling of helplessness. Why couldn't Rosa picked a better, stronger person to do this? Why me? I'm nothing like that. I'm weak, pathetic, stupid girl that should of stayed dead. When I finished that thought my charms of the Crystal Orbs shined brightly blinding me temporally.

"Don't you DARE think that mistress!"

I gasp to seeing a blue skin tiny fairy like creature floating in front of my face hands on her hips glaring at me. She was wearing a cute purple dress, her eyes are dark blue while her hair was a darker blue than her skin, it flows like it's in water? Wait...Her voice is-

"U-Undine?" My green eyes widen in shock.

She huffs "Correct mistress, but stop thinking those negative thoughts! Flare needs you! Only you can purify the taint that was left in Flare." She pleaded to me.

"M-me? But...how? I still do not understand Undine, why me? I'm not best for this, I failed Flare! I failed everyone!" I cried out with tears rolling down my cheeks.

I fell down on my knees covering my face with my hands sobbing, I wanted to save Flare, to save everyone but...I still wasn't strong enough.

"Stop that annoying crying brat! And realize we all chose you!" A male voice shouted out in annoyance.

I stop crying, I slowly lift my face from my hands. Eyes widen to see a buff looking tiny creature like Undine but he was taller than her, and he has his arms cross with seems like ice covering his legs and wrist. His hair stood up like their was no gravity! It is a blueish white color, with icey blue eyes.

"Y-you're-"

"Tch, ice got your tongue brat?"

I huff, wiping my tears away glare at the Ice Crystal Orb, Frost.

"Stop calling me 'brat'! I have a name, use it!"

"Whatever...brat." he smirks when he said 'brat'.

I wanted to go crazy on his tiny butt, but another voice suddenly appeared but in a scolding gentle voice.

"Frost! Stop upsetting Mistress Aqua at once."

I blink, staring in aw at a another tiny female creature, but she reminds me of a fairy! She is wearing a cute dress that puffs out some, showing her legs that is wrap in vines, and flowers bloomed in some parts. She is wearing flats, with a pink flower on the top. Same with her waist, vines wrap around her arms too, even her hair has flowers in her two pigtails that swirl down with a vine on each side, wrap around them.

Most of all, her hair is this beautiful shade of pink, her eyes are emerald green, with slight freckles across her face. Along with her fairy like wings, beautiful designs sparkle on them(think of Tinkerbell, from the Tinkerbell movie)

"Please, forgive him mistress Aqua. He just as worried as the rest of us." She told me with a sad but kind smiled.

I went down on my knees "But...why choose me? Look at what I let happen! I caused Eggman to take Flare, and n-now look at him!" I cling to Flares Crystal Orb to my chest.

"...I know your confused mistress, but we all saw something in you. You can heal Flare, don't let sarrow and pain cloud what's important..."

Than their was silence, I lift my head up confused to see the three left. I hung my head until I heard knocking at my door.

With a broken but soft voice I told the person to come in, I kept looking at the dull pulsing of the orb.

"Hey, Aqua?"

I jump, lift my head up surprise to see Sonic.

"S-Sonic...?"

"Uhh yep, that's me!" He replied with a goofy grin and pointing his thumb to his chest.

I don't know why but, I stood up and tackled him to the floor sobbing into his chest. His body was tense at first but relax than held me comforting me, I felt safe.

After a while my sobs calmed down into sniffles. I crawled off of poor Sonic, after helping him up he smiled.

"Nah, it's ok Aqua. Your my friend, and if I help you in some way? It makes me happy."

"Hehe, thank you Sonic...oh! Was there something you wanted to tell me?"

"Oh! Would you like to go on a walk with me?"

I blink in surprise, if I didn't know any better he was asking me out on a date! And I guess he knew what I was thinking. His eyes widen wave his hands up.

"N-not like that! I-I mean your pretty- oh darn it! Ames going to kill me." He put his hand on his face in embarrassment and dread.

"Hehe, don't worry Sonic. I understand what you meant, we are just friends anyways, I don't think I can handle a killing machine like Amy." I pointed out, and joked earning me a laugh from him.

"Got that right! Now come on, I know the perfect spot for us to walk."

I shook my head, walk after Sonic.

Somewhere in a base

"Eggbots! Start it up! This time...I WILL beat that blue hedgehog and that female hedgehog once and for all hahaha!" Standing behind a see through glass rubbing his long mustache on one side cackling evily.

Beyond the glass was a table with wires, hook to a figure. The Eggbots flipped a switch as Eggman commanded, with sparks hit them the figures hand twitch than went into a fist. The eyes flashed up in a eerie blood red glow.

"Splendid! This time, I will not let you fail me again. Now go, and kill Sonic The Hedgehog, and bring me the Crystal Orbs and the female Hedgehog that has them! Now go! Metal Sonic!"

The now figure known as Metal Sonic stood up ripping the wires off him, showing off his metal blue body.

"As you command Doctor..." he hovers in the air and shoots off through the ceiling.

"Tch...stupid machine! Why must they never use a door?" He grumbles under his breath while walking away.
