..Wet.

Drops of water were dripping onto my face like the light pitter-patter of a sprinkling rain. As I started to come to my senses more, I began to hear the hiccups that accompanied a series of heavy sobbing. Then, out of nowhere, someone pressed against my torso with nearly all their weight, wrapping their arms around my neck and cradling my head. Grunting from the pain that caused, my eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I saw was a blurry, gray ceiling. It was dark, but the faint light coming from the hallway granted me enough to be able to see what was around me. I blinked a few times and looked beside my head to see a pink one, and taking in a deep, shallow breath, I caught a whiff of her scent. Amy?

"Amy, it hurts.." I muttered weakly as my eyes fluttered back to a close. I had to fight to stay conscious at this point. She raised up off of me and stayed silent, but when I opened my eyes again, I looked up to see her sitting on her knees, wiping her glistening cheeks with her wrists. Her eyes were pink and puffy as she locked eyes with me, and it was as though time had stopped as she just stared, wide-eyed.

"You.. are Amy, right?" I asked, blinking. Things were still a little blurry and hard to make out.

She started sobbing hard again and buried her face in my chest, being gentle this time. "Of course I'm Amy.."

I attempted to sit up, and she helped me, even though it hurt like heck. "What happened? What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice and breath still trembling as she tried to calm down.

"I was attacked by Omega and--" I stopped as the past day's events raced through my mind. Amy had been missing, but now here she was right in front of me! I turned towards her and took her face in my hands to take a better look at her. "Ames! It's you!" I exclaimed suddenly. She smiled a lopsided smile that caused the butterflies caged within my stomach to become enraged.

"Of course it's me. Who else would I be?"

"There was.." I brought a hand up to hold my head. I was so dizzy. What had even happened, anyway? Omega came and.. I looked down at my torso to see that I was all wrapped up in several layers of bandages. It didn't hurt too much, only when I moved, so that made me think that I had some sort of pain medication in my system. Who would have done that? I looked back up to Amy. "You were being attacked by one of Eggman's robots, and afterwards we went to Tails' workshop. You seemed pretty normal, and then we went outside and.." I paused. Tell her about the kiss? No way. "..Suddenly, you just turned into someone else."

She raised a brow. "Someone else? Huh?"

"Yeah. It was a purple dog wearing a black suit. I don't know how long she had been.." I trailed off as her expression slowly changed from confused to heavily ticked. "..and.. woah, are you okay?"

"No, no I'm not." She replied flatly. "What all did she do?"

"Nothing really, just act like you. I don't know how long she had been masquerading as you. Er, how long have you been here, and where exactly are we?"

"We're in that girl's underwater base, and I've been here for about five or six days, right here in this jail-like cell." She said sadly, her gaze drifting to the floor. "They told me I was going to have a visitor, and next thing I knew, they tossed you in here. I thought.." Fresh tears came to her eyes. "I thought you were dead.. you weren't responding at all. I was so worried!"

I smiled and rubbed her head with my hand. "I'm not dead. I don't think." I tried to joke lightly, but she wouldn't budge. Her expression was as serious an expression I had ever seen on her face.
