[When Amy Rose woke up in the school's nurse's office, she was horribly confused. The last thing she remembered was walking home from the grocery store with two huge bags in hand, about to cross the busy street. She didn't think she had tripped and fell into the asphalt or anything; after all, she was completely void of any injury, no pain or bandages. Maybe she had gotten away lucky and some nice soul had deposited her in the hospital just in case. Whatever it was she was totally fine, so she decided right then and there she wasn't going to lie here in this bed forever and decided to check herself out.

As the pink hedgehog pushed herself up off the mattress and headed outside, she was shocked to find that she certainly wasn't in any hospital. As she peeked into the different rooms down the nearby hallways she only became more confused. Why on earth was she in a school?]

What kinda weird joke is this?

[She asked herself with a frown, hands at her hips. She stood there for awhile, thinking hard, before sighing in defeat. She didn't know anyone who could have set something up like this, except if maybe Dr. Eggman had kidnapped her again somehow, but this didn't seem like the kind of place he would go to. Amy was completely stumped.]

Every little bit of help counts you know! Even if it's just friendly encouragement. That gives you the strength to keep going!

[She grinned brightly, nodding back to him.]

And if you have any friends here they can help, too! I think we should all work together if we're going to solve something big like this, we're stronger in numbers!

...

Trying to get people to work together here might be a bit of a lost cause.

[He rubs the back of his head, looking away.]

But I know at least two people that'd probably be up for it.

Well that's no good... why do you say that? Doesn't everyone want to leave here, to get home to their friends and families?

[She frowned in thought.]

Well I guess two is better than none, huh?

It's not that they don't want to leave. It's that they probably won't be able to bring themselves to work with other people.

There's some pretty stubborn people here... and a lot of them have reasons to dislike one another.

[His hands twist in concern.]

With this being such a small island... It seems a lot of people are fighting with each other. Taking their frustrations out.

For the most part, it's peaceful, but... There's still those conflicts to deal with.

Really? What's the point in fighting with each other all the time if you're stuck together for so long? It must be so tiresome...

[She shook her head, her short, pink spines swaying with the motion.]

But we need any help we can get, so even if the number is small... it's still enough.
