Just a Dream

Chapter 4: Uncomfortable

Amy sat on the green bed and Sonic sat on the blue one. The old man stood being supported by his stick. Both were still in shock and were waiting for some answers. The old man walked over to them in between the two beds.

"You may be surprised now but see...you know nothing yet. Sonic the hedgehog, Amy Rose," He said. Sonic looked at him with his mouth slightly opened and Amy was surprised too, but paid attention to what he had to say.

"No one has ever been able to come here. Only I know how to enter. Ms. Rose knew but she had a little help." He added

Sonic turned to her. "I didn't help you did I?" he asked raising a brow at her.

"You bet you didn't," she happily began. "I have something that did. It was...it looked like...I...I don't really exactly know what it was." She nervously said looking up at the old guy.

The guy chuckled. "You seem to have the power of vision." He informed.

"Noooo," Sonic said incredulous.

"I knew it, but I wasn't sure if it was. Cool!" Amy giggled.

Sonic crossed his arms and stubbornly said, "I could've found it myself."

Amy glared over to him. "Admit! Without me you would've been stuck there for a while," she said mockingly her last three words. He angrily stared back at her. "You have no idea of what I could've done."

The old man smile at them as they were arguing. "It's a relief seeing you two fighting."

They quickly turned to him. "What do you mean?" asked Amy. The old man's smile widened. "I must apologies for asking a question with a question, but have you any idea of why you two are here so far?" he asked.

"Well from what I remember. This one chick told us that a witch cursed us blah blah blah and that we had to find an old guy in the woods. You seem old enough," he plainly said.

"Sonic!" Amy scowled him.

The man laughed. "You must have met my niece. Linda," he said happily.

Amy's eyes lit up. "Yeah, Wait...she's your niece?" Amy asked.

He nodded with another small chuckle. "Yes. I am her uncle Professor Pickle. I study many scientific facts about this world, and I'm glad to still be living" He ended with another laugh.

Amy clapped her hands together in deep interest saying, "Wow,"

Sonic rolled his eyes and lay back on the pillow.

A thought suddenly came back to Amy.

"Again, Professor Pickle, Why did you say that it was relieving seeing us fighting?" she asked very concerned.

"Yubala, the so called queen to this land, has cursed you. Am I correct?" he asked. Amy nodded in agreement.

"It is said that the legendary heroes come here only in pure love not hate and for what I am seeing you two do not seem to get along." He said. "This is the only way this land could be saved, But if you two were to be in deep love we would had a problem." He seriously told them. "If you were to fall in love the curse will be at a high point for Yubala to use you to open the gates to Polkka."

He was soon interrupted by a loud laughter. "Me fall for that thing? Oh this is funny," Sonic laughed wiping a tear off his eye. "No, that will so never happen." Amy finished.

A frown appeared on his lips. "Never say never because it just might come true. Matters will become even more difficult and complicated." He explained.

Amy blinked at him. She ignored what he had said and couldn't help ask, "I'm wondering. What's in Po...ka...lly?" She trailed off hoping she said the place right.
