Well hello all you Crazy SonAmy People. I'm back after a looooooooooooooooooooooong break from writing. for my return to I wanted it to be big so I decided to try and write my very first multi-chapter fic! Isn't it Exciting? well here's the first chapter, hope you all like it I worked damn hard on it so you better! XD enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any character/series/title referenced in this story, if I did it would work out like this story!
You can't always speed through things in life. Try to take things slow every once in a while, you miss a lot when you're just speedin' along like that. Sorry, this Probably isn't making any sense to you allow me to explain. My name is Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, and I've finally learned to slow things down, believe it or not. It's kinda a long, funny story now that I think about it.
Ya see, about a month ago I was fighting Egghead to stop him from taking over the universe, y'know the usual. While is was fighting one of his robots, I got …err, distracted by someone in the crowd. Yeah, that happens sometimes, but usually I don't get hurt like I did. While I was distracted Eggbutt knocked me on my ass, really hard too, and while I was falling I hit my ankle on something. When I landed I tried getting back up, but my ankle hurt too bad for me to do anything.
I was lucky that Tails and Knuckles were could handle the bot on their own. After they took care of Egghead's robot, they got me to the nearest hospital. I got out an hour later, 'course it's because I ran out without permission, but still I was out. I needed somewhere to stay while my ankle healed, so I quick-hobbled (that's what I call it anyway) to Tails' house. It took me twelve minutes, so you could imagine I wasn't exactly in a good mood, especially since it took me so long to get here and I couldn't run without hurting my ankle.
I walked into his house and started calling for him. I didn't get a direct answer, just a loud thud and someone calling out "shit!" a few minutes later, Tails came rushing down the stairs.
"Oh, you escaped, how lovely." he said, blatantly irritated.
"Jeez bro, and here I thought you'd be glad to see me out so fast." I said equally irritated.
"Glad, yes. To see you? Not so much."
"What's your deal Tails?"
"well, uh, ya see I was kinda in the middle of something important."
"What could be so important-"
That's when I caught a glimpse of what was so "important". Up the stairs and out from behind a corner were a pair of chocolate brown eyes, looking a little frustrated, looking down on me and Tails before disappearing behind the corner again.
"Oh-ho-ho, I see now, you brought someone over."
Tails' face turned bright red. "wh-what're you talking about? It's only me and you in here!"
I waggled my finger in disagreement.
"Okay Cream, you can come out now, I know you're up there," I shouted to the polite little rabbit upstairs. She poled her head out from around the corner again before stepping all the way out from behind the wall. She hadn't changed a bit from when she was a little girl, I mean yeah she was taller and, err, bigger, but she still dressed the same way from when she was a kid; small cutesy dresses and frilly ribbons. She even kept her polite and innocent personality, she even still called people Mister, Miss, or Misses.
"Hello Mr. Sonic, it's nice to see you again. Tails and I were just, uh, studying when you-"
"Save it, I know what you two were really doing." I said with a mischievous smirk.
Her cheeks turned red as she scooted in next to Tails, which turned his whole face red. I bursted out laughing they were so cute! … did I just say cute? Well, whatever, that's what they were, and seeing them like that made me laugh, almost till it hurt, before Tails started to yell at me.
"Ah, shut up! So why'd you come here anyway?"
"I need a place to stay and rest while my foot heals."
His expression went from irritated to apologetic.
"Sorry bro, but I'm not gonna be here for a few weeks. I'm going on a trip with Cream and Ms. Vanilla."
I gave him a 'no sweat' look and said "That's fine, I'll just stay with Knuc-"
"Trust me bro, you don't wanna stay with Knuckles this week. Don't ask why just trust me."
"Why don't I wanna stay with Knuckles this week?"
"I told you not to ask! Ugh, let's just say Rouge is there and … you know a girl's time of the month?"
"You mean their per-"
"Yes that, well rouge is going through hers, and when she does she gets really … hungry if you catch my drift."
"Hungry? I don't see-"
"HUNGRY! You know, she likes to have things … inside her?"
"huh? … OH! I get it now. Yeahhh, not going to Angel Island then. Can't I just stay here while you're gone? You know like a house sitter?"
"Hell NO! There's no way I'd leave you alone in my house without the freedom to run! You'll tear my house down to it's foundation out of sheer boredom!"
Cream decided to pipe in for me.
"I don't know Tails, maybe you should let him stay here, how bad could it be?"
"Cream, honey, trust me it could be bad. One time I left to get me and him something to eat while he was sick and when I got back everything was totaled."
"Hey not everything, remember your chairs are still … hey where are those two chairs that used to be in the corner?"
"Those were not chairs, those were a love seat that you tore apart!"
"Aw, you mean that cute little green one where we had our first kiss?"
"Yeah, and my old couch too!"
"Well that's not so bad dude, it needed to get thrown out."
"What?"
"He's right Dear, it was old and dingy, it needed to be replaced."
"Not you too Cream! I thought you loved me!"
"I do, but that doesn't mean I don't think that couch you loved so much needed to get thrown out."
We all had a good laugh after that.
"Alright, so I can't stay here or at Knuckles' place, then where can I stay?"
Tails thought about it for a sec. Then he got a really sly smirk on his face. He turned to Cream, still having that look on his face. She seemed a little confused at first but I guess she must've got it 'cause she made a gasp, clasped her hands together and got a big smile across her face. They turned to me with the same expressions they gave each other. That's when I realized who they had in mind.
"Oh no, I'm not staying with her, noooo way!"
"C'mon Sonic it's not like you have much of a choice."
"You can't make me stay with her, not gonna happen, not a chance."
"Please Mr. Sonic? It would mean the world to her if you stayed with her."
"I said, no way, I'm not doing it!"
"Pretty ,pretty, PLEASE Mr. Sonic?"
"Yeah, pretty, pretty, please?"
I looked at the young couple, their begging hands, and their puppy dog eyes, and knew there wasn't anyway I was gonna win this. I crossed my arms, pouted and just grumbled my agreement. They started to giggle and cheer in triumph. After all the teasing and laughing was over, Cream went to call Amy and tell her I was coming over. When she was outta earshot, I turned to my little bro.
"So, you and Cream, way to go buddy, didn't know you had it in ya."
"Heh-heh, yeah me neither, you should've been there when I asked her out, I was so nervous my sweat was sweating."
"Dude, I can only imagine. So c'mon, spill, how'd it happen?"
"Well it's kind of a long story."
"Dude, I got nothin' but time for the next week, now start spillin'."
"Well, ya see-"
"Okay, I just got off the phone with Amy, she should be ready by the time you two get there."
I hobbled out of the house, part to get in the plane, part to try and escape the horrors of miss Amy Rose! It's not that I don't like her at all, I do like her as a friend, it's just that she doesn't get that I don't like her the same way she likes me. Plus Amy is extremely aggressive, she'll charge right at me to try and hug me and when she actually gets me it HURTS! Have you ever been tackled by an approximately 185 lbs. little girl? Didn't think so, so you see what I'm getting at by running away from her.
Unfortunately tails was right behind me as I left the house so I didn't have time to think of an escape plan. I just leaned onto the Tornado 2, pouting like a two-year-old who didn't get that new toy he wanted so badly. Tails was standing by the porch, like he was waiting for someone. I was about to call out for him, when Cream walked out of the house. (I have to admit I forgot she was there with us.) She ran up to Tails' side and tugged on his hand to pull him in for a kiss. I chuckled under my breath and decided to get back at him for making me stay at Amy's place.
"Hey Tails, let's go! You'll have plenty of time to make-out with your girlfriend later!"
Both of their faces turned a 'burning-fire" red color, I'm guessing that's 'cause that was exactly what they had planned to waste their time on during the trip. Tails started to rush to the plane, forgetting his good-bye kiss from cream. She caught him though, and such a funny sight it was. Cream ran up behind him, jumped on his back and kissed his cheek then bounded back into the house. I thought to myself 'Ah, to be young and in love, well at least I qualify for one of those things.' as tails ran up to the plane. Tails hopped in the plane, flipped a few switches and started her up as I got in.
"so Tails, you gonna finish that story?"
"oh, right well to summarize everything, I needed someone to hang out with while you were gone, and since Cream was the only other person I saw regularly before, what with school and everything, you went on your trip, so we started hanging out. Eventually I developed a small crush, but I didn't want to change anything between me and her so I just ignored it and tried keep everything the same, emphasis on 'tried'! after that failed one thing led to another,' He started to blush, even though he was looking away form me I could tell he was. "and then we told each other how we felt in a not-so-average way. Now I'm dating her and couldn't be happier. That's about everything."
"Not everything, little buddy." I teased.
"Sonic, that's between Cream and I, don't try to pry into our personal affairs."
I chuckled and the trip was pretty quiet after that after that. To be 100% honest, I was feeling a little bit lonely after hearing that story, short as it was. It seemed everyone of my friends had someone of their own, coincidentally with my other female friends. Tails and Cream are together and lovin' it, Silver and Blaze are engaged to get married. (it was actually so bad they started to refer to them selves together as 'Silvaze') Knuckles and rouge were probably banging each other right now … eww, bad images of those two that you can't un-see right there. As for Shadow … okay, no way he's got anyone, that gun-crazy, trigger-happy, emo bitchhog would sooner marry his rocket launcher than feel anything besides the emotion of being emo for another living creature. All joking aside, it seemed like everyone of my friends had someone to themselves.
At the time I thought nothing of it, figuring that someone else would just restrict my freedom and slow me down. Looking back, I knew that deep down I wanted to be tied to something. It'd be a nice change of pace, to feel cared for, I guess. But you know me, too free-willed to admit that being tied down could be a good thing. Y'know I should kick myself for thinking like that.
Anyway, after a few minutes of flying, Tails got us to Amy's house and started to land the plane. I tried to think of a way out of this, even if it meant going back to the hospital. It was too late, when Tails landed the plane, Amy was right there to 'greet' me.
"SONNNIIIIIIICCC!
A-yup, she tackled me, and like I said it HURT! It's not even the tackle that's so bad, it's the bone-wrenching, back-breaking, lung-smashing, paralyzing hugs that she gives! Unfortunately this hug happened to be extra tough since she hadn't seen me in two months.
"Oh, sonic, I missed you so much! You should really call me when you go on trips like that!"
"Nice … to see … you too … Amy … now … can you … let go … your … crushing … my … LUNGS!"
"nu-uh, you're staying in my arms, where you can't get away from me! "
"Seriously … Amy … can't … BREATHE!"
And that's all I remember before I got in Amy's house. Although I do recall hearing Tails giggling his ass off and Amy shouting "I'm sorry" over and over again before I blacked out. Next thing I knew I woke up in Amy's house, don't know how or when I got there, nor did I care. All I cared about was that I was in Amy's house, her home turf, the lion's den, and I'm the prey. She must have heard me 'cause the next thing I knew, she spoke up right behind me.
"Good, your awake!"
"AH, PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!"
"Sonic, calm down! Jeez that must've been some nightmare."
"Yeah, the worst kind, the kind you can't wake up from." I half grumbled, half whispered.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch that."
"Only joking Amy, only joking."
'to think, after all these years she still has that temper' I thought.
"No, I mean I really didn't hear you."
"Oh, then never mind, just forget I said anything."
"Hm-hm, okay done! Sorry again for crushing you like that, I really didn't mean to. It's just that … well you know." (A/N: the sound 'Hm-hm' is a giggle with a closed mouth)
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know."
She cringed at that. Hell, I cringed at that, it came out wrong, it was supposed to be understanding, not snarky like that was. I didn't like-like her (yeah I know, a little bit of childish terminology.) but I didn't hate her either, so making her upset wasn't the best thing I could do for either of us. I needed to break the tension between us, so I decided to do the unthinkable.
"I'm sorry Amy, I didn't mean it like that, it's just … I'm sorry."
I apologized for hurting Amy; like I said, un-freaking-believable.
" 'ts okay, I'm sure you get tired of me saying it anyway."
I looked up to say something more, but she already left. My guess was to the kitchen 'cause I heard water running. I headed to the kitchen and what I found there confused me; a girl I've never met before … or so I thought. It took me a minute to realize that the person I was looking at, was Amy. I hadn't gotten a good look at her since I got here, so seeing her in the light was a bit of a surprise for me. She grew her quills out so the went past her shoulders and they were styled in a wavy fashion that reminded me of waves on a beach. She changed her clothes too, she got rid of her red dress and boots fro a small red skirt with white stripes down the side, a small plain red tee, and a denim jacket. She got taller too and bigger, like Cream but even better! I mean if she were a comic book super hero she'd have two D's on her chest! (Hey I'm a guy, it's not my fault if my hormones get the better of me.)
She must've caught me starin' 'cause she covered her chest with a cookie sheet. I looked up at her, she was looking away from me blushing. I felt my cheeks heat up and I dashed back to the couch as best I could. I felt my cheeks heat up and I dashed back to the couch as best I could. I covered up my head, expecting a flurry of hammer strikes to start hitting me any second. I heard Amy walk into the living room and plop on the couch.
"So sonic, do you like-"
"Nope, nu-uh, not at all! Not that they don't look good on you, but, well, uh-"
"-Spaghetti?" she held a plate to my face.
"Oh, uh, yeah it's okay."
"Good, I was worried you didn't like spaghetti for a sec."
She set the plate in front of me.
"There ya go! Fresh from the colander! Though, you might wanna wait a bit for the side dish, garlic buns~"
"Garlic … buns? Wuzzat?"
As if to answer my question, the oven timer sounded and Amy got up to turn it off.
"C'mon I'll show ya!"
When we got to the kitchen, she went over to a drawer near the oven, pulled out a pair of oven mitts, turned the oven off, and pulled from the oven a cookie sheet that had a few hamburger buns, they were yellowish with tiny bits of green stuff in them.
"What's up with the buns? They old or something'"
"hee-hee, no I just put some garlic salt and garlic butter on them before cooking them. It's a great way to use left over hamburger buns and left over spaghetti. It's something my mom taught me way back when."
Now she was starting to cry. Ya see, a few years ag, Amy lost her mother in an accident. It was really traumatizing for all of us, including me. She was like a mom to all of us, meaning me, Tails, Amy, and pretty much all of our friends, but it was hardest on Amy and her brother. For Amy's brother, it was devastating because he lost his mother, as for Amy it was much worse. Her mother was her role model, she looked up to her and wanted so badly to be like her, you can only imagine the hell Amy must've been through.
I put my hand on her shoulder, trying to console her. She turned to me, her eyes glazed with tears. I gave her a smile, grabbed her by the wrist.
"C'mon let's go eat, I need something other than hospital food in my stomach." I said trying to distract her.
She smiled back and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Yeah, I can only imagine how hungry you are after having nothing real to eat all day, hm-hm."
"Y'know, it's kinda cute when you smile."
'Oh crap did I really just say that?' I thought.
"What did you just say Sonic?"
"N-nothin' Amy, nothin' at all, heh, heh-heh." I laughed nervously.
"Nu-uh, you said something, something about me being cute and smiling."
"N-n-no, really, I didn't say anything Amy, promise!"
"You sure Sonic? I could've sworn you said something."
"Nope! Not a thing! Now C'mon let's eat! I'm starved."
We headed back to the living room to eat. For some reason I couldn't work my fork, the damn thing wouldn't move up to my mouth. Amy started laughing at me, nut it wasn't funny, I was having a real dilemma! I put my fork down and realized that my hand were shaking, bad, and my face was all warm. I want into the bathroom, splashed my face with cold water a few times then went back into the living room.
I sat back down and was about to chow-down on my spaghetti, when I realized my spaghetti was gone and in its place was a bun.
"Amy, what happened to my spaghetti?"
"It's in the bun, silly! That's why I made the garlic buns, for spaghetti burgers! Go on, try it, tell me how it tastes."
I took a bite of it and I have to admit, it was pretty damn good. I didn't even need to tell her it was good, I was scarfin' those things down like they were goin' outta style!
"Tee-hee, I guess you really like them, huh?"
"Can't talk, must eat more."
After I had eaten all the spaghetti and buns, almost threw-up, and took my pain killers, I needed some TV. I started to look around for the remote, couldn't find it, not with out getting up at least. I asked Amy where the remote was. Without answering me she leaned over me, reached to the table beside me, and started looking for the remote. My face started to burn again, because the way she was positioned over me her, uh … her … well, you know, those, were dangling right in front of me, in all their glory. (like I said, I'm a guy, hormones almost beat regular thought, almost.) Luckily I was able to control my self enough to sit on my hands before they tried anything.
After a few painful minutes Amy got back up and turned on the TV. While she did that, I want into the bathroom, filled her sink up with water, and gave my head a nice cold dip. I came back out, my quills dripping wet.. Amy looked up at me and started laughing at me.
"Sonic, why is your head all wet?"
"Reasons, Amy, just reasons."
"What reasons?"
"my reasons, Amy, just leave it at that okay?" I said with a blush.
"Aw c'mon, pwease sonic? I would wuv you oh so much if you did?"
"As if you don't 'wuv' me 'oh so much' already." I said jokingly.
She giggled at that. I sat back down once I was dried and grabbed the remote. I started surfing through the cannels. News? No, too serious. Lifetime? No, too dramatic. MTV? Fuck no, too damn stupid. Ah, here we are, cartoons, my haven. I got a weird look from Amy though, like I was wrong for watchin' cartoons. Whatever. I ignored her and kept watchin'.
Amy joined in watching cartoons with me, we just sat there enjoying Tom and Jerry and Looney Toons for a few hours. We must've fallen a sleep, 'cause last I checked it was 9:30, I looked at the clock again and it said it was Midnight. I tried to grab the remote, figured it was time to catch some Z's, when I felt something restricting my arm. I looked to my left and there was Amy, sleeping happily, holding me tenderly in her sleep. I smiled to her, at the time not knowing and turned to her to pick her up from the couch. She half-opened her eyes and moved her hands from around my shoulder to around my neck.
I carried her all the way to her room bridal style, pushed her covers out of the way with my foot, and put her down on the bed. I put her covers over her and was about to stand up to leave, when she half-opened again. I moved over to her face to see what she was doing, then she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close to her. She started to speak.
"Thanks for that, honey."
When she said that she moved herself up a bit and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I stiffened when she did this, then she fell back gracefully to the bed. I started to exit the room and just before I left, I turned around to look at her sleeping body and thought,
'She's really cute when she's sleeping.'
That night, even in the almost pitch-black darkness of her house, you could see me blush and smile as I feel asleep.
