Just a Dream

Chapter 13: River retreat

Tree.

Tree.

Another tree.

A bigger tree.

Many trees.

That's all she kept seeing. Trees.

Amy rested her head on the boat's gunwale as she stared in boredom at them passing by throughout the whole afternoon.

By the afternoon, after what seemed hours of boredom Sonic had laid down on the boat's wooden floors and had took a nap. Amy's meanwhile was a different story. She watched over as he slept, just looking up at the passing trees that moved so ever slowly. She was on the lookout for shadow bad guys and food, both which she never found.

She hadn't eating since this morning the Fiddles gave them that weird looking food thing. Some leafs wrapped around in meat. It was a flavor of what seemed red juicy steak and mixed with red and orange fruits. It seemed Gemnissent really liked fruits. She eventually got tired of seeing so many trees and going without eating and fell into a deep slumber.

.:XxX:.

By night fall, when the Sun set away and the woods grew dark Sonic took over the watch. Hours after Amy fell asleep; Sonic placed her comfortably down next to him, so she wouldn't be asleep on the hard wood. Both of them were lying down together on the boat's floor, Amy softy breathing and Sonic looking up at the stars. He placed the sweaters that Liam gave them on top of their bodies to keep themselves warm.

He had one arm wrapped around her shoulder and the other crossed behind his back. He allowed her to sleep peacefully on his chest was the boat went down stream.

Something was bothering Sonic and that was the fact of how close to two have already become. More like...frenemies. Of course that didn't change about how he still felt for her, but he didn't hate her nor did her like her too much. It was something he couldn't explain.

The stars were out in the blue light sky. It was dark in the woods but at least they still had the light from the moon. It was his first time sleeping outdoors since he had turned five. When he would camp out with his family, but when his dad died, he hadn't been camping nor doing any fun activities. It's been all about being with his group of friends, parties, going to school, or staying at home. Now, he was experiencing more than he ever has with the girl he hated most.

Up in the sky there were stars of different types and sizes. Some were big planets that seem to be closer to the atmosphere and others that were dots. They weren't like the ones from earth. These were plants so close to the atmosphere of Gemnissent. One was shaped as a round large Saturn with a three rings around it. Only this Saturn-like plant was purple with blue rings. Another planet was farther but still seen through the sky a dark pink color round ball. He cracked a smile at seeing it.

Suddenly Amy moaned and moved her body closer to Sonic's. Sonic stiffened when he heard her moaning and snuggle closer to him and wrapping one arm half way down to his stomach. She then sighed and continued to sleep peacefully in her new position. He looked around the woods then looked back at her. He shook off the weird feeling he got and got comfortable. He didn't know why but suddenly he got a few bad thoughts, only causing him to snicker to himself. He lay back down and looked back up at the sky. As if on cue, he saw a shooting star just shift from one place to another before disappearing. He slowly relaxed his eyes and sighed, letting them close shut.

Her eye turned forcing her body to turn with it.

It was that large field again, where the grass was bright emerald green and the skies were bright sky blue with flowers everywhere. Pine trees everywhere, mountains, shinning their bright white snow that were on top, the small lake being light blue shimmering under the sun's rays.
