It was one busy day at the local diner, buisness at full bloom. A light brown hedgehog was cleaning the counter tops when she saw a couple walk into the resturant. The blue hedgehog was holding the pink one's hand and leading her to a chair. They looked so cute together, so the light brown hedgehog just stared, wishing it was the same for her. Even she knew that will never happen, so she got her note pad and walked over to them. "Hello, my name is Sonar and I will be your waiter today." Said hedgehog smiled. "What will y'all like to drink?" She got her pen ready to write the blue hedgehog looked at his menu and smiled. "I would like to have some lemonaid please." He put his menu down as if to say that was all for him. Sonar wrote it down in her note pad. 'He likes lemonaid too?!' The pink hedgehog was still looking at her menu for something to drink, and Sonar began to lightly tap her foot. "Umm, I would like some Jasmine tea please." Sonar smiled and wrote it down. "Okay, I will be back with your drinks, and to write your orders." With that the light brown hedgehog took off at a pace the blue hedgehog knew far too well. "Whoa! Did you see that Ames?! Now that is fast service!" The pink hedgehog shrugged her thin shoulders. "Nothing special, I see you do it all the time. Your not falling for her are you?!" She gave a dangerous look in her jade green eyes at him. "No way Amy, I'm not falling for her! I'm with you okay?! I would not cheat on a beautiful girl like you." His stomach turned. He wasn't use to saying anything that was romantic and especially to the pink hedgehog that always chased him around. At the corner, Sonar heard everything that was said between them with her large sensitive ears. Her heart felt broken, her chance to be with her hero was crushed. She took a deep breath and walked out to give them their drinks, while wearing a mask with a smile on it. "Here you go, one lemonaid and one nice jasmine tea." She placed the drinks on the table to their respectful orderer and she took her note pad out again. "Okay, now what would you two like to eat?" The blue hedgehog grined. "I'd like to have two chilidogs with the works please." Said hedgehog didn't need to look at his menu to see what he wanted, and just casually sat back in his chair. Sonar wrote the order down. 'And he likes chilidogs too! Oh why didn't chaos put me with him?! We could've been a total match!' Sonar looked over at Amy and smiled at her. However, she did not and looked back at her menu. "I would like a salad please." She noticed a hint of venom in her tone of order as she wrote it down. "O-okay, I'll be back with your order as soon as possiable." Sonar dashed off into the kitchen, wanting to get away from the bad feeling surrounding her. "What is your problem Amy?" The blue hedgehog snapped, he had heard the tone she used on Sonar. "Are you blind or something Sonic?! She's trying to hit on you! She's looking at you and smiling all flirty like! I won't let her get in between us you hear! I worked too hard to become your girlfriend offically and I'm NOT about to lose you to her!" Amy's face was a little red after her speech, and she was panting as if she had ran a marathon. "Easy Ames, I'm not going with her. I've got you. But I just don't like how you treat others, especially other girls, when it comes to me. Sonar seems like a nice girl, maybe you can be friends with her and get to know her better." Sonic could see Amy's short quills brisle with uneasyness. "I don't want to get to know her. She might take you away from me!" Sonar couldn't take much more listening and ran to the table, set the food down and ran off without saying a word. Sonic and Amy just sat there speechless, but just staring at the food that was rushed to them. "Talk about rude service! I lost my appitite. Sonic, take me somewhere better than here. This place stinks." the pink hedgehog got up, but the blue hedgehog stayed where he was at. "No Amy. We are staying here. I would not blame her for just giving our food like that. She must have heard you." He calmly stated. "Well good! Maybe those giant ears of her's proved usefull to get my message across! Now let's go Sonic, I don't have all day and I don't want to spend it here!" Sonic staied where he was at. "Go ahead and leave if you want, but I'm not going with you." Amy was on fire. "SEE THIS WAS ALL HER FAULT! IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT BROWN RAT WE WOULD BE HAPPYLY EATING OUR MEAL RIGHT NOW, BUT NOOOO! SHE ENDED UP MAKING YOU LIKE HER!" Now everyone at the diner was looking at them. "Amy calm down...stop making a scene." You may not see it, but Sonic was blushing with embarrassment. "I WON'T CALM DOWN! YOU LIKE HER NOW!" Amy wasn't showing any signs that she WILL calm down, so the only thing he could do was get up and kiss her. "Calm down now Ames, I still love you." That did the trick. Amy's hot headedness melted away and she was back to her bright self again. "Okay Sonikku." She sat down and began to eat her salad. Sonic rolled his eyes, and sat back down to eat his now cold chilidogs. 'what did I get my self into?! This is a nightmare! A living nightmare!I knew this was going to happen and yet I let my self fall for the trap! I hope Sonar's okay.' Said hedgehog in mind was upstairs since the dinner was also merged with an apartment on the upper level. She had ran to her room and crying after what had happened down stairs. She knew she could get fired, but she also didn't want anyone to see her this way. A knock was heard at the door, and Sonar jumped. "Sonar, its me. Please open your door." Came a gruff voice at the door, followed by another round of knocks. She got up off her bed, wipped her tears and went to the door. As she opened it, the old door creecked open and reveald an old brown weasel. "*sniff* i-i know Mr. Hanly...your going to fire me for running from my job...i-i'm sorry..." more tears became presant on her flushed cheeks. "Goodness no my child. I saw and heard what happened down there." Mr. Hanly placed his old bony hand on her small slim shoulder. "It wasn't very nice of her to say such things about you like that." Sonar kept her eyes on the ground, head parrallel to the floor. Mr. Hanly lifted the young hedgehog's head so his old brown eyes met her emerald ones. "You get back out there and show her she can't get under your skin. You are someone special Sonar, and I believe that boy knows it. Free him." He gave her a bright warm smile to encourage the little hedgehog he took under his care, and needed help letting her self be free aswell. "Thanks Mr. Hanly!" With that said she ran into hug him then ran back down stairs to the dinner. Mr. Hanly chuckled to him self and slowly made his way back down as well. Sonar kept watch at the table the two hedgehog couple were eatting. Sighing to her self as she did. '*sigh* What can I say? What can I do?! We've known eachother for quite a while now, seen him here and there once in awhile if I'm lucky. Oh Sonic...its been since elementary since I've talked to you...after that things changed...' she looks down at a scar on her leg, a painful reminder that fighting Eggman was a mistake. 'I didn't want to worry you...to let you see I can't handle my self sometimes...' Her ears fold back as tears form in the memories. 'Now how can I tell you how I feel if your with her...?*sighs* Guess I'll have to earn your attention again...I guess this is my fault for leaving without saying goodbye.' Sonar see's that they were done with their meal, and Sonic was waiting for the bill. So she wiped her tears and walked twoards them. Sonic saw her approch, while Amy touched up her make up in the girls room. ' Looks like she's been crying. She hasn't changed a bit from elemantary school. Still beautiful as I remember. I wonder why she just dissapeared out of no where? I have to talk to her...alone...' The blue hedgehog smiled cus he knew that'll make her happy again. Sonar saw him smile so she faked smiled back. She took the empty plates , and while she wasn't looking, Sonic quickly grabed the pen and notepad from her appron. As Sonar left to take the dishes to the kitchen, he quickly wrote a note to her and made sure to leave his name and a heart at the end of it. When Sonar came back, Amy was still out, and she also noticed her note pad and pen at the table with Sonic sitting casually on the chair. "Ummm did I leave this here in accident?" She shyly asked him. "No, you dropped it and I picked it up for you." He winked at her. She blushed and turned away quickly to hide it. Amy soon appeared. "Okay, did you pay Sonikku?" Her gazed drifted over to Sonar and saw the blush. Ticked off she began to tap her foot. "DID YOU DO ANYTHING WITH MY BOYFRIEND YOU BOYFRIEND STEALER?!" Amy yelled. Sonic frowned, facepalming while Sonar flattened her ears and put her tail down. "N-no! I d-didn't do anything!" Sonar replied back a bit shaken. Everyone was looking again and Sonic covered his face. "LIER! I'VE SEEN YOU BLUSH WHEN YOUR NEAR HIM! DON'T THINK I'M DUMB TO NOTICE!" She snapped back. Sonic stood up from his chair. "Amy that's enough! She didn't do anything while you were gone so stop blaming her for NOTHING!" Voice serious that it surpriced Amy he used it on her. "S-sonikku? Why do you talk like that to me? You never talked like that to me!" Tears were forming now in her jade eyes. She angerly points at Sonar. "THIS IS ALL HER FAULT! SHE'S DOING THIS TO YOU! SHE HAS BRAIN WASHED YOU INTO BECOMING A JERK!" She screamed. "That's not true Amy! I'm telling you this cus your being a very annoying and very childish hedgehog and i'm getting tired of it! Everywhere we go its the same thing! Girls get near me and you start chewing and ripping their heads off! Then you don't want to get to know them first instead of judging by the way they get near me! I'm done Amy, I can't take no more of this! Its emberrassing and humiliating as it is!" The dinning room was silent after Sonic's words, then it was inturrupted by Amy crying histericly. "THIS ISN'T OVER SONIC! I WILL GET EVEN WITH YOU!" She turned to Sonar and pointed an angry shaking finger at her. "YOU BETTER WATCH IT GIRLY, CUS I WILL GET YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT ME! SLEEP WITH YOUR EYES OPEN, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN i WILL STRIKE! "She runs out yelling. "I WILL GET YOU BOTH FOR THIS! YOU'LL SEE! YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF AMY ROSE!" With that her voice was faint and distant, the dinner remained silent, but everyone went back to eatting. Sonar fell on her knees, but Sonic caught her and sat her in a chair. "It's okay Sonar, she won't lay a finger on you. I promise." He gently hugged her, nuzzleing into her quills. Sonar's blush could be noticed for miles since it was so bright, but she did not dare tense up in fear she will hurt him. "S-sonic...not now..." voice small and very shy. Sonic backed off with no question asked. "Okay, I won't make you feel strange around me. If ya have my bill ready I'll pay and go now." He never lost his genuine smile, making her blush more. "S-sure, I have your bill. Just give me a sec to get it." In a fast flash and under a second she got the bill and handed it to him. "Here you go." Sonic took the bill and placed a few rings in her hand. "Thanks for the lunch, and sorry about Amy. You know how she was in elementary school. Later!" With that he dashed out and dissapered in the distance. Her ears perked up when he said elemantary school. 'He remembers!' Her heart skipped a beat, and just as if on instict something told her to open her notepad. Upon opening it, she was greeted by a note that wasn't orders from Mobians.
"Hey Sonar, its me Sonic the Hedgehog from elemantary school. Heh, don't know if ya still remember me, but by the way you blush and studer when your near me I guess you do still remember. I miss the days we use to talk and hang out, how we ate chilidogs and raced. Though, I have to admit I was worried when you dissapered. Met me near Mushroom Hill, there we can talk and catch up. Would you like that? I'll know when I met you there at 9pm.
Love,
Sonic
Sonar couldn't believe it. Sonic wrote this while she went to the kitchen to get the dishes cleaned. He lied, but then again, it was a sweet lie to get her hope's up like this, and maybe thankful that he didn't tell her right then and there or else she would have blushed and never stopped. 'He remembers...' She took the note out and put it in her appron pocket for safe keeping. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the dinner finished serving it's last few customers for the night, sonar sat at the bar waiting for the last mobian to finish its meal. As she waited, she could not stop thinking about the blue hedgehog. 'I wonder if I can tell him how I feel tonight, maybe that's what he wants to talk about? No Sonar that's too far!' She mentally slapped her self. 'Its just a friendly chat, so keep it that way girl!'. After her mental talk, she heard the front door's bell ring and the place was empty. The last mobian had left without a word and had left his bill on the table. She walked over sighing as she picked up the used dishes and went into the kitchen to clean them. Using her supersonic speed she cleaned all the unwashed dishes in a mater of seconds. She looked up at the clock that read 8:30pm. She raced up to her apartment room to get cleaned up. Adding purfume made the final touch perfect. She was wearing her black running shorts, a white and light blue trim tube top,her light blue vest, her gloves, and her light blue boots with a white stocking showing part of the top, front and back ends of her boot with small cut out hearts on the outer sides of both boots, which were held together by a golden heart-shaped buckle, her light blue headband, and her Calming Stone. Sonar looked one more time in the mirror and realized she was ready. "Hmmmmm, I guess this would do." She runs out to only bump into . "OOFF!" He rubed his stomach. "Ooops! Sorry !" She apologized with her ears flat. "Its okay young one. Mind telling me where you are going this late at night?" He was a bit suspitious. Sonar blushed at his question. "R-remember that boy that was with the pink hedgehog?" nodded. "Well, he got him self free." She made a small smile at him. A bright look in his old deep brown eyes showed and he smiled warmly at her. "I'm proud of you Sonar. Even though you didn't do a thing to cause anything to go wrong, you made him realize what he's missing out. So he fixed the problem." He placed his hands on her thin shoulders. "You go have fun now sweetheart, but don't go over12am! I don't want you to come home only to be too tired to wake up at 5 for the breakfast rush tomorrow." He warned with a stern tone. "I won't, I promise ." She smiled brightly, giving him a hug and dashed off. 'I hope Sonic can make her happy again. Ever since he began coming here a few days ago, Sonar seemed to have lighten up and be happy he's around. I can only hope her heart is in the right place at the right time.' finished cleaning up the resturant and closed for the night, and made sure to leave an extra key under the mat so Sonar can get back in. He went to his apartment room to clean up and went to bed afterward. He took out his favorite book and began to read it under the dim night stand lamp. Every once in a while he'll look out the window and down the street. 'Oh Sonar...I know your safe with that boy, being a hero and all, but that doesn't mean I can't worry about you. I guess that's how a dad feels. Stay safe my daughter.' He looked up at the moon and smiled at it, knowing his young one is right under it. ~End of Chapter 1~
