~Scourge's hut~(The next day)

"What did you do?! I thought we had an understanding!" Rouge shouts at Amy as the girls enter Scourge's hut. Scourge looks up from working on his weapons, confused as ever, "Um, come in?"

Rouge growls at Amy, "You callous, giddy cow of a leader! How dare you undermine our collective group decision?! And then not tell us about it?!" Amy massages her temple in frustration.

Shade folds her arms, "I had the honor of hearing such news from that barbarian red knight." She blushed, "It was quite an extensive conversation." Rouge snickers, "Given your patience, I hope he's still alive...for now." "No worry there. I managed to...work around his fierce tongue."

Blaze steps forward, "I, on the other hand, heard the news with the sorcerer. His magic allowed him to hear the King's private conversation with Shadow." Rouge frowned, "Which is how I found out."

Cream frowned as well, "I heard from the prince. He came in to treat his wounds." Amy blushed, "Wounds?" "He had a few deep scratches on his back. I can only assume he had one wild night with Princess Sally." Scourge laughs, "After all of the big-boobed one's sexual partners, it's hard to forget wounds like those. I thought the princess pledged to chastity though." Amy scoffed, "Those wounds are not from the ice princess, chaste or not."

They all look at her with confusion. She jumped a little, "What? I'm smart, okay?" Rouge scoffs, "Yeah, real smart."

She walked over to Scourge, who was looking over a sword, "And you, why on earth would you go along with this?!" Rosy steps into the room with a tray of mugs, "Whooo wants a drink?"

Rosy quickly hands one to Rouge, smirking evilly. Rouge frowned at her, then snatched the cup out of her hand. Scourge winks at Rosy as he takes a cup from her, "To answer your question, harpee, I merely want my crown. As I've said before, I do not question Amy's judgment. If she wants to get the crown faster, who am I to oppose her wishes?" "You'd truly have us die for a stupid crown?!"

Scourge takes a quick sip, "If you go first, I might just celebrate." Blaze shakes her head, "I still do not understand. How is it you intend for us to bypass Merek long enough to steal the crown? No one is powerful enough to stop him. And the only way we'll ever know how to stop him is if we venture into the lake of memories." She huffs, then takes a sip of her drink.

Amy clears her throat, "I...uh, I went into the lake of memories." They all did a spit-take. Rouge gasped, "You did what?!" Shade gave her a concerned expression, "How did you get past the basilisk?! You could've died, especially if you were by yourself." "Well, I'm obviously still alive. In any case, I was with Prince Sonic. We evaded the guardian with his speed."

Blaze quickly stood up, "You took Prince Sonic to the hidden forest?!" Amy folds her arms, "It wasn't exactly by choice." "Amy, should he have died, you would've been hanged." Cream shakes her head, "Nevermind that. Y-You actually went...into the l-lake of m-memories. Did you...I mean, are you okay? D-Do you feel any different?"

Amy shivers, "Actually, I do." Scourge frowns but sips his ale in silence. "I don't know how but I was able to see memories without the lake." Blaze shakes her head, "It is impossible..." Rouge rubs her forehead, "That's just great. She has already descended into madness..." Rosy growled at Rouge, "Hold on! Amy, whose memories did you see?"

Amy looks down, "I s...I saw the king's memories...and then Prince Sonic's." Rouge flinches, "What did you see? Did you find out how he got passed Merek?" Amy hesitates a little. She looks at the girls, feeling uneasy.
