Here's a couple quick love stories that I've written for most of the main characters in the Sonic world. They will be all oneshots, but each one will be a different chapter. Some of you may not agree with the pairings I've chosen, and I respect that. But please don't bash or flame any of the couples in your reviews. Regular criticism I can take, but please keep your negative thoughts on the couples to yourself.
I'm not really aiming for anything with these...just wrote 'em for fun. I wasn't even planning on putting these up at all, but I figured, "Why not?" The first three chapters will be for Sonic, Shadow, and Blaze respectively. I may put up more afterwards, may not...I just don't know.
Anyway the last thing to say is the usual disclaimer: I do not own Sonic or any other related characters. The only exception is one character, but she'll show up later.
Chapter 1 The Heart of the Wind
Sonic was moving down the street, but he lacked his usual enthusiasm. Amazingly he wasn't running or even jogging. Sonic was walking on the sidewalk, with a look of anxiety on his face. He was just as wrong on the inside as he was on the outside. The normal feelings of fun and suredness were now replaced with timidness and fright.
(sigh) "Tails I'm going to get you for this..." Sonic mumbled while looking down at the ground.
Flashback
Sonic had just finished with a nice run when he decided to swing by Tails' house. Finding his friend working away on the X-Tornado, Sonic slipped inside and waited for his friend to finish. The little two-tailed fox finished whatever it was he was doing and turned around to see Sonic chilling out on a couple crates.
"Hey Sonic what's up?"
"Oh, nothing much. Just came by to pass the time."
An odd glint flickers in Tails' eyes, but passes before Sonic takes notice. "How about a race?" the fox suggests. This catches the hedgehog off-guard and a confused look comes over his face.
"A...a race? Tails are you feeling okay?"
Tails nods, "Not a race on foot. A race on Extreme Gear." The confused look on Sonic's face passes with an "Ohhh." he then shrugs and says "Sure, why not?"
"Just one thing though."
"Hmm?"
"The loser must do one thing that is freely chosen by the winner."
Sonic shrugs again, "Fine."
Tails walks over to a closet and digs out the Blue Star and Yellow Tail, their Extreme Gear boards, and the control devices for the part changes. He hands the appropriate one over to Sonic and they wait outside for the signal.
Tails actually won the race. The little fox didn't cheat or anything, he just rode on Sonic's slipstream until they were almost back to his house, then boosted off the wind, over Sonic, and crossed the finish line.
"Well I'm staying true to my word. What is it you want me to do?" Sonic says just like he normally would. He didn't mind losing to a friend, it wasn't like Tails was Jet or anything.
The fox gets the same mischeivous look as before. Sonic gets this feeling that he's not gonna like what his friend picked.
"Sonic, I want you to take Amy out on a date."
End Flashback
Sonic reached Amy's apartment, and didn't really look forward to what he would have to put up with for an afternoon. "I'm really gonna get Tails back for that." he sighs again and knocks on the door.
"Just a minute!" Amy sounded like she was singing, almost as if she knew he was there.
The doorknob turns and the door opens. A "Yes?" is heard before Amy pokes her head out the door. When she sees Sonic there, the door swings open and Amy gestures him in. Sonic enters and sits down on the couch.
"So..." she closes the door "did you need something Sonic?" Amy was wearing her usual outfit, but under the circumstances she looked like a different person to Sonic.
"Well...I, uh...wanted to know...if you'd..." he sighs again, then takes a deep breath, "like to go out on a date."
Amy cocks her head and scratches her ears. "I'm sorry I don't think I heard that right."
"I wanted to know if you'd like to go on date with me."
The pink hedgehog's eyes grow wide and begin sparkle. After all of the times she tried to get him to go out with her, here he was asking her out.
"Sure! When did you want to go?" she asks while landing next to him on the couch, after a large jump.
"Well my entire afternoon is free."
"Then we'll leave now!" she grabs his hand and walks him to the door. After locking it the two leave the apartment building and start walking down the street.
Sonic takes her wherever she wants. They go to see a movie (during which Sonic almost falls asleep), then off to an amusement park. The movie almost bored Sonic to tears, but he was able to have a little fun at the amusement park. The roller coasters put a smile on Sonic's face (but a few made Amy look a little green). One of Amy's favorite moments was at the mini-games. Sonic knocked down three milk-bottle pyramids with three baseballs, and won her a stuffed bear that was about half her size.
As the two leave the park Amy asks "Hey Sonic? Could we go back to my place before dinner?" "Your wish is my command." he replies before scooping her and the bear into his arms and running off at full speed.
They reach the apartment in about two minutes. Amy sets her prize down on the couch before asking, "Hey Sonic? Would like me to cook dinner or would you rather we go out to eat?"
This is one of the things Sonic planned for, and replied with "Well you can cook if you want to...but that would mean canceling the reservations I made at the Coastline Cove." (Coastline Cove is a romantic restaurant on the beach that has some of the best seafood around.)
Amy's eyes lit up again at what he said, "Are you serious?" Sonic nods. This almost brings her to tears and she flings herself into his arms. "Hey..easy Ames. Do that too hard and I can't take us there." he says jokingly. In about five minutes Sonic and Amy are at the restaurant.
"Hello, do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, its under Rose." Amy blushes a little when she hears that Sonic used her name to reserve a table.
After going over the list, the waiter says "Ah yes, Rose party of two. Right this way please." He leads the two to the upper floor (reservations only) and out onto a balcony facing the ocean. Sonic seats Amy before sitting down himself.
"Here you go." He hands them two menus "May I offer you both a glass of water while you look over your menus?" the waiter asks while lighting the candles on the table.
"Sure" they both respond. The waiter departs leaving the two of them alone. Sonic glances over and sees that Amy has a few tears in her eyes.
"Something wrong Amy?"
She shakes her head. "Its just that, I thought that this would be a dream of mine that would never come true." Sonic gives her that grin that melts her heart, "Well what do I normally do?"
The waiter returns for their order. After he departs Amy speaks up again. "But after all of the times I've tried, why now?"
Sonic admits that this whole thing came about from a bet he made with Tails. When he notices her face sink a little, he added "But if I had known how much fun it was to be with you, I'd have taken you out on a date a long time ago." This manages to lift her spirits a little.
"Enough fun to make you want to be mine?"
"Don't ruin the moment Ames."
A little blush shows up, "Sorry."
The waiter returns with their food. A fresh roasted salmon filet for Amy, and a shrimp and pasta combo for Sonic. They both eat very politely. Amy can't help but feel as though she's in a dream. The romantic atmosphere, enhanced by the candles, a lovely view of the ocean at late-sunset, and (most importantly) Sonic sitting across from her. Its almost too much. After dinner Sonic pays for the dinner with a couple twenties he had in the cuff of his glove. Then he lifted Amy up and jumped off the balcony.
"Now where Ames?" he asked the pink hedgehog lying in his arms.
"I don't know. I can't think of any place else."
"Alright then." Sonic sped off again, not towards the city but off into the country. Sonic and Amy speed into the forest with Amy wondering where the two of them were going. She looked up towards her love and got lost in his looks. Sonic suddenly stopped which jolted Amy out of her trance.
"Why are we still in the forest?" she asked while Sonic set her down. "You'll see. This isn't where I wanted to take you, but this is as far as we go. With you eyes open that is." Amy catches the hint and shuts her eyes.
"You peeking?"
"No"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Alright, just keep your eyes shut." Amy could feel Sonic grab her hand and lead her through the remainder of the forest.
"Sonic if you make me walk into a tree, you and the business end of my hammer are gonna become real close."
"Relax Amy, we're here." She feels him angle her head upwards. "Okay open your eyes." Amy opens them and gasps. They were in a clearing and she was looking up at a cloudless view of the starry sky above.
"Its...its..." she can't find the words to describe how beautiful the scene is.
"Like it?" she turns and sees Sonic sitting down. She sits down too and says "Yea" Sonic is sitting with his legs out and is leaning back, his arms are keeping him falling over backwards. Amy's sitting cross-legged, but has her arms out to her sides, hands on the ground.
"Hey Ames, I'm sorry." she looks at Sonic and asks "Why?"
"To be honest, I didn't want to go out with you. I figured that I was going to be bored the entire time." he moves a hand onto her's. "Thanks for proving me wrong."
"So you liked this date?" she asked. Sonic nods. "Now that I've gone out with you, and had this much fun...I regret not doing it sooner." He glances over and sees a few tears in her eyes. "Come here..." He grabs around her waist and pulls her close enough for their shoulders to touch.
This move catches Amy off guard. She almost pulls out her hammer, but is so close to Sonic that her heart melts away and her cheeks glow red. He smiles and moves the arm around her shoulders.
"Good enough first date?" he asks.
"Only one thing is missing." she turns her body within Sonic's arm to face him and puts a small kiss on his cheek. Now the blue one's cheeks are glowing as red as hers. He turns his head to look at her and asks "Want to try again?" Amy picks up the hint and places a long kiss on Sonic's lips which he returns.
After the hedgehogs pull away, Amy leans against Sonic and rests her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks for making a dream come true today, Sonic." she says while wrapping her arms around his waist.
"What's a boyfriend for?"
"But I thought..." she's quieted by a finger to her lips.
"Guess two dreams came true today." he said with his characteristic grin. A crying Amy pulls herself in front of Sonic and holds him real close. Tails I'm never gonna be able to repay you for this. He thinks while putting his own arms around his new girlfriend.
Well...what do you think? Like I said I just wrote these for fun when the ideas popped into my head. Shadow's chapter is next.
