CHAPTER: 1

My whole life, I have been a major fan of Sonic The Hedgehog. Living in the same world and town as him, this takes my fan-base to a whole new level.

I was walking down the street. It was late-around 6 pm-and the sun is setting on the land. I took a break from my daily stroll and sat down on a nearby bench. I slouched backwards and sighed, "Man, there's nothing to do." I was bored. Very bored. I couldn't find a single interesting thing to do. My body felt heavy and I found myself dosing off. Interrupting my small nap, someone had plopped down next to me. I was too lazy and carefree to look over at who it was. Suddenly, I heard a sniffle of sadness, as if they had been crying. A discomforting urge made me look over to see a pink girl, wearing a red dress sitting next to me. She had tears in her emerald green eyes. I sighed, "What's wrong with you?" I said. I felt a bit of harshness in my voice and I felt bad. She, however, didn't seem to notice it.

"It's Sonic." She said. "He won't talk to me."

Then, I remembered. This is that 'crazy fan-girl that's been chasing Sonic around. Strange. She didn't seem crazy to me. She looked like a nice girl. "Wait..." I said. "You're Amy Rose...right?" She glanced at me and nodded. "Oh. Well, have you tried talking to him?"

She went silent for a moment. She looked down at her feet, kicking at the ground nervously. "I've never actually gotten close to him enough for me to talk to him." She said. "Except for the times when he would save my life."

"That's why you fell for him? Cause he saved you?" I replied. She nodded.

"Did you talk to him today?"

"Yes. He told me to leave him alone and to stay away from him. He was shouting and yelling."

"Is that why you're crying?" She went silent and nodded silently. This was new to me, for she didn't seem like the type of girl someone would run away from. I scooted close to her and placed my hand on her shoulder, "Look, don't let Sonic get to you like that. If he can't take the opportunity to be with you for the rest of his life, making you happy, then he's a jerk who doesn't deserve someone like you anyways." I didn't feel comfortable talking about my hero like that, but I didn't want to see Amy cry over him anymore. It hurts me more than it hurts her. She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at me with a smile.

"I guess you're right. M-Maybe he isn't the one for me." Amy said. Her hands tensed up for a moment and her breathing stopped also. She quickly shook it off before i could say anything.

"Now, I have to admit, I'd love to be saved by Sonic The Hedgehog as much as the next guy, but even so, that doesn't make him a good person. Even a REAL hero wouldn't go as far making a young girl cry like that." I said.

"Thank you." She said. "I never gotten your name yet."

"It's Zach." I said.

"Nice to meet you, Zach. I'm glad you were here to lighten up my day." She thought for a moment. "Hey, how about we go to my place and watch a movie and chat?" She suggested. Clearly, I had nothing else to do. I guess hanging out with Amy wasn't so bad now that I know that she isn't as bad as Sonic lets on.

"Sure." I said. She jumped with excitement and grabbed my hand, pulling me lightly to her place. I felt a strange, negative energy emitting from Amy's hand. I was beginning to think that i shouldn't be invited to her house so easily and quickly. I started to wonder if she does this to all strangers.
