"Are we going to your work again?" Sonic asked as he was picking out which clothes to wear.

"I was thinking that maybe you could stay here today," I had finished packing his lunch.

"But then I won't be able to eat lunch with you..." he pouted.

"Alright, you don't have to stay," I ruffled his quills and helped him get ready.

"I want to eat lunch with you every day," he smiled as he pulled on the pink sweater I gave him.

"Okay, but I can't promise everyday," I grabbed my keys.

"Not lunch then..." he smiled and held out his pinky. I never taught him that, "Promise that well always eat breakfast and dinner together."

"Promise," I locked my pink with his.

"Pinky promise, who ever lies, cuts their pinky~" he sang such a weird promise song before letting go, "Its a promise."

"Where did you learn that?" I asked as Sonic put his lunchbox into his pocket.

"Mm? Not sure. I just kinda know it," he smiled but then I noticed a tear in his eye.

"Sonic? Do you remember anything?" I wiped his cheek.

"Remember? Not really... hm?" He wiped his own tears and looked down at them for a moment, "Why? The promise made feel a little sad," he smiled and kept trying to wipe the tears away.

"Shh~ I've got you," I hugged him as he burst into tears, "Let's stay home today, okay? I'll call work to switch my day off."

"... okay..." he nodded.

  So he does remember a few things... Poor thing, I wish I could have brought him home when I found him.

"Sonic! Welcome home!"

"Hey, you ready to eat?" Is that me?

"Yeah, just like our promise," who is that? "Pinky promise~ who ever lies has to cut their pink~"

"That's so dark."

"Better than swallowing a thousand needles. Right?"

"Yeah."

  I woke up on the couch with my heart pounding. I couldn't remember them, but I had made the same promise again...

"Sonic, you okay?" Rouge gently rubbed my back, "You fell asleep after crying."

"I'm okay... I just... I had a weird dream," I looked up at her, Rouge was smiling.

"What was it about?" She asked.

"The promise. I think I promised someone to eat with them, like I did with you," I held her hand, "I don't know who they were."

"That's okay, just get some rest okay?" Rouge let me go.

"Okay."

  But... who were they?
