Rose and the Beast

Chapter 2

Amy ran to the front of the house where the cellar was and opened it up and walked down the steps. She heard coughing and groaning as she waved the smoke away. "Papa?"

" How on earth did that happen?" Asked a blue gray hedgehog with a gray mustache and eyebrows and gray blue eyes (in this story Sonic and Uncle Chuck are not related)

"Are you alright Papa?" Amy asked walking up to him.

" i-I'm  about ready to give up on this old hunk-a-junk!" he replied kicking the weird machine.

" You always say that" Amy said smiling.

" I mean it this time it this time, I'll never get this bone headed contraption to work!" he complained.

" Yes you will, and you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow" Amy said as she came up behind him and held his shoulders, smiling.

Chuck looked behind him at her and huffed. Amy smiled a little bigger " and become a world famous inventor"

"... you believe that?" Uncle Chuck asked as he looked at Amy.

She smiled and nodded " i always have".

" Well, what are we waiting for? I'll have this fixed up in no time!" Uncle Chuck said as he got under the machine" hand me a that wrench" he asked

Amy picked up the wrench from the tool box" so did you have a good time in town today?" Uncle Chuck asked

" i got a new book...papa?, do you think I'm odd?"

" My daughter?, odd" he looked at her with his big eye goggles " where would you get an idea like that?" he took the wrench

" oh I don't know, it's just that I'm not sure i fit in here. There's no one i can really talk to"

" what about Sonic? He's a handsome fella."

" he's handsome alright, and rude, and conceited and... oh papa, he's not for me."

" heh-heh, well don't you worry. This inventions gonna be the start of a new life for us." He got out from under the machine and stood next to Amy" i think that does it. now... let's give it a try." He pulled a lever and the machine whirred to life.

The machine started to cut wood and put it into a stack

" it works" Amy exclaimed

" it does?.. it does!"

" you did it, you actually did it" she smiled and hugged him quick

" that clinches it, I'm off to the fair" he exclaimed until he got hit in the head by a piece of wood going by.

Uncle Chuck was riding away on a horse with a wagon strapped to the back.

" good bye, papa! and good luck!" Amy said waving him good bye

" Good bye Amy! Take care while I'm gone!" he said waving back to her

Uncle Chuck rode through many fields, and other things. the sun starts to set and Uncle Chuck starts to come upon a forest.

" we should be there by now" he said to the horse named Philippe. He looked at the map" maybe we missed a turn, or maybe took a wrong turn" he said, soon they come upon some signs and stop.

The horse looked at the left and right and decided to go left, but Uncle Chuck pulled him back" L-Let's go this way" the horse shook his head and look into the dark creepy forest and narrowed his eyes to the left path and started to head left again but, gets pulled back by Uncle Chuck again" come on Philippe it's a shortcut! we'll be there in no time"
