Chapter 1- The Dance

Normal POV- for the rest of chapters as well.

Sunday, February 14th - Valentine's Day.

The ride home was surprisingly short and quiet between the two friends. Maybe they were both thinking about the upcoming dance or, in the case of one of them, wondering why the other person's car has so many problems. As the ride slowly came to a stop in front of the other person's house, the driver couldn't help but ask a question.

"So, Amy, are you going to the dance with anyone?" Sonic asked.

"Not with anyone in particular, why?" Amy asked the sapphire speedster.

"No reason," he answered back. Amy just shrugged it off and gathered her things.

"Thanks for putting up with me while I was shopping," she said to him while getting out of his nice black car.

"You're welcome. I had nothing better to do on a Sunday than to watch you try on outfit after outfit AND pay for the ones you chose. Anyway, see you later, Amy," he said before driving off. Amy chuckled while she watched him drive off and swore she saw a small hint of a smile on his face before his car came out of view. She always loved seeing him smile. In fact, she loved seeing him. She was practically crazy about him and, other than her best friends, Cream and Blaze, no one knew she liked him.

Amy did the same thing as usual and went to check the mail for a reply from the job she applied for. It was just to take care of some chaos at the Chao Park across the street from her best friend, Cream's house and tend to visitors. Sadly, once again, she was disappointed.

As the pink hedgehog walked back to her house, she tripped. 'I am such a klutz,' she thought to herself. Getting up, she dusted the dirt off of her jeans skirt before running inside. Amy looked around the living/ dining/ TV room of her small house before landing her eyes on the clock hanging above the television. 'Wow, I'm early,' she thought before trying to find a way to pass the time until Cream came with her dress and mask. Yes, the dance was a masquerade. And it got better; it was a Valentine's Day masquerade.

Opening the fridge, Amy looked for something to eat. Finally, she settled with making a mini pizza. After eating, Amy called Cream to ask if she had their dresses ready.

"Yes, they are almost ready. Mother is just putting the finishing touches on them. I should be over in ten minutes," the tan coloured rabbit told her before hanging up. Amy sighed trying to think of something else to do for the ten minutes. She ended up going to the bathroom to take a shower so at least she'd be clean. Almost immediately after her shower, the doorbell rang.

At the door was a cream coloured rabbit with a blue chao floating over her head. In her hands were two hangers holding clothing.

"Ready?" Cream asked.

"Hell yeah," Amy said before the two girls rushed to her room with the blue chao, Cheese, floating behind them. When they got to the room, Amy couldn't decide which she wanted to do first, look at the dresses or do makeup. Cream automatically said to look at the dresses so Amy just agreed. Perfect was the only word that the pink hedgehog could think of to describe the dress. It was the best dress ever. It was a violet strapless that ended just above her knees. The top of the dress clung to her body and shower my curves well. Around the waist there was a silver belt with sparkles on it. From the belt down the dress had ruffles.

"Cream, I don't know how to thank you for this dress," Amy told her excitedly.

"You don't need to thank me," she replied. Amy looked over the dress the rabbit was going to wear. It was a yellow dress that came with a small orange jacket. The dress had thin straps and it was a mini dress with a flower design on it.

"Cream, I love your dress too, it fits you perfectly," She told the rabbit.

Cream smiled at her and said "thanks, now, let's get ready." They changed into their dresses and put on makeup. Amy wore lip gloss, black eyeliner, mascara and blue, purple and cream eye shadow. The sandals she wore were silver and strappy.

'If only Cream could have got me some shoes too,' Amy thought. Soon after they had finished fussing over how they looked, Cream's date, Tails, pulled up and honked his car horn. Both girls put on their masks that matched their outfits, and went inside the car.

"You look beautiful," Tails commented to Cream before saying, "both of you," after seeing Amy raising her eyebrow.

Amy chuckled softly before saying, "nice to see you too, Tails. Happy Valentine's Day."

"You too."

Of course, because the two were a couple, Amy had to sit in the back. For most of the ride, Amy watched the cute couple, sweat dropping whenever they did something romantic like complement each other or kiss. She couldn't believe it but she actually envied the couple. 'I wish Sonic was like that with me.'

"What was that Amy?" Tails asked. Amy gave him a confused look before realizing that she had said that out loud.

"Um, nothing Tails," She quickly said, sighing when his eyes returned to the road. For the rest of the drive, Amy stared out the window so that she wouldn't say anything she didn't want to say.

As they pulled up into the parking lot of the school, Amy took a good look at the place where the dance was being held. Just as she imagined, the dance had lights everywhere, everyone wearing masks, boys wearing tuxedoes and the girls wearing the best dresses they could find. When they went inside, the music was booming, crowds of people everywhere and, of course, couples and singles dancing. Amy looked through the crowds, trying to find people she could identify. There was Silver and Blaze by the DJ booth, Zachary Davis, a bear with no rhythm, trying to dance on the dance floor and Sally Acorn by the punch bowl. She was the easiest to identify because she was wearing the shortest dress Amy had ever seen in her life. Sally is the biggest slut at school and thinks that she is the most popular girl and that she can get any guy she wants. Sadly, this year, her project was Sonic.

"Amy, if you want me I'll be at that table with Miles," Cream said pointing to a table.

"Huh," Amy quickly snapped out of her thoughts and figured out what she was talking about. "Okay, and if you need me I will be at the punch bowl," The pink hedgehog said before Cream dragged Tails to the table. Amy looked at the punch bowl, happy to see that Sally wasn't there anymore. She walked to the punch bowl and continued her investigation while getting a glass. Amy identified Knuckles and Tikal but, sadly, she couldn't identify anyone else. Then, she heard cheering beside her and she turned to see two people dancing on the dance floor. 'They're good, for amateurs,' Amy thought to herself.

"I can dance way better than them," she heard someone mumble from behind her. Amy turned around to see someone wearing a regular black tuxedo with a silver mask that brought out his bright, emerald green eyes. Even though he looked familiar, she still couldn't identify him. To prevent herself from falling into a trance, she stopped gazing into the stranger's eyes and turned to the dance floor to look at the dancers.

She looked at their technique before replying, "Me too."

The stranger looked surprised at her comment before saying, "I don't believe that." Amy looked back at the dancers to see that they were done.

"Oh really, well, I don't believe you either but since those guys are done," she said pointing to the two dancers. "Why don't we prove each other wrong?" she suggested. He nodded.

"You're on," the stranger said shaking her hand. Amy looked at the dance floor once more to see that it was still empty.

"You head to the dance floor while I'll choose the song," she told him while he nodded and went to the dance floor. Amy thought hard about which song to choose before heading to the DJ and telling him to play the song, my love by Justin Timberlake. She then joined the guy on the dance floor just as the music started to play. He took her hand and rolled her into him, then rolled her out, then in again and dipped her. Amy was taken aback by this and he chuckled when he saw her look of surprise.

"Not bad," Amy told him and he smiled.

"I like the song choice," he commented and Amy smiled and muttered a thanks. He then pulled her closer to him, put one hand on her waist while holding her other hand at shoulder height and Amy put her free hand on his shoulder. Even though he moved quickly, she was able to follow his movements. Then, he suddenly stopped. Amy cocked her head to the side and gave him a questioning look. All the stranger did was raise his eyebrows. It took a couple of seconds before Amy realized that she was to choose what to do.

She rapped one of her legs around his legs while held her steady so that she could lift her other leg straight in the air. Everyone clapped and cheered at that. He put her down as they started to do more dance moves. When the song was nearly done he picked her up bridal style and spun around with her in his arms. While doing so he whispered in her ear what he was going to do next. Amy nodded at his plan while imagining how it would turn out.

He stopped spinning and flipped her over his back so she landed on her feet behind him. He put his arms under his legs and she took them. He then dragged her through his legs. As Amy stood up in front of him, he took her hand and twirled her around. After, he pulled her into him and this time when he let her out, he let go of her hand so she kept spinning. He ran to the other side of the dance floor and waited for her to spin into his arms. How he got there so fast, Amy did not know.

When she spun into him, he lifted her in the air. Then the song and the dance were done. After he put her down, Amy hugged him, happy that everyone had liked their dance, while the stranger awkwardly hugged back. Amy pulled back from him, realizing that he wasn't comfortable and apologized. The stranger smiled at her before replying, "no problem." Amy blushed at that.

'Why am I blushing? I don't even know the guy.' Amy quickly found an empty table, considering that barely anyone was sitting down, and sat down and talked to the stranger. They talked about many different things in loud voices trying to overpower the music, mainly about who in a couple's dance does more work.

"How could you think that the girl does more work than the guy? Isn't it called a couple's dance, meaning equal parts?" the stranger questioned.

"Oh really, I think that the girl definitely does the most work because she has to learn balance and flexibility while the boy is just there to catch her if she falls and look pretty," Amy retorted. The stranger laughed at that statement.

"So, you think that I was just there to catch you if you fell and look pretty?" he asked.

Amy looked at him and answered, "Maybe," before realizing what she had said and blushing.

The stranger laughed and commented, "You know, you look pretty when you blush," thereby making her blush and him laugh even more.

"And if anyone does more work in a couples dance, it's definitely the guy," the stranger said bringing the conversation back up.

"Oh and why is that?" Amy asked. He sat up from his slouching position and took a closer look at Amy before continuing.

"Because, not only does the guy have to carry his own weight but also the girl's," he stated before deciding to mock her even further. "And, in case you didn't notice, you're not exactly light." Amy's mouth opened wide at that and before she could say anything else, Cream came to them.

"Great job, you guys. You were the best dancers out there!" Cream exclaimed.

"Thanks.", Amy told her in a way that suggested that she was not very happy with Cream's interruption.

"Okay, Okay. I'll go back to my date," Cream said noticing her tone. Suddenly, the stranger remembered something.

"Hey, you never told me your name," he stated.

"I'll tell you later," she told him.

"Hey, it's kind of loud in here, want to go outside?" he asked. Amy was about to say yes before realizing something.

"You do realize that saying that the music is kind of loud is an understatement?" She pointed out.

He rolled his eyes before replying, "Do you want to go outside or not?"

"Sure." They walked outside in silence, as if both off in their own little world. Amy took this silent time to look at her surroundings. She'd never seen how outside the place looked at night and she wished she had seen it sooner. Barely any of the lights that were normally there were on and the moon had a nice effect on the garden. So, that's where they decided to go. They went in, sat on a bench and started back up their previous conversation.

"You know, you were really good," Amy complemented the stranger.

"Thanks, you were too. You sure proved me wrong." She giggled at that comment and started blushing. She was so glad that it was dark because she knew that if it hadn't been, then he probably would try to make her face even redder.

"So, would later mean now?" he asked her. Amy had forgotten completely about revealing her identity to him.

"Yeah, I guess, but you have to take off your mask first," she responded. The stranger then took off his mask to reveal the face of the one, the only...

"Sonic?" Amy said surprised at the thought of her being with him the whole night. Now she was panicking. What if when she took of her mask, he didn't want to talk to her because of how much he revealed to her? Or even worse, how much she'd revealed to him?

"Yeah it's me, so take off your-," he said before Amy ran off. She could her him yelling after her but that was the least of her concerns. She couldn't believe it. Amy ran back inside and asked Tails to drive both her and Cream back to her home.

"You sure Amy, I mean you looked like you were having a pretty good time," Tails tried to persuade.

"Positive."

Once Amy got home, she washed all the make-up off her face and quickly got out of the dress. Cream decided to sleep over so they started by watching TV downstairs in their PJs. Cream had been watching Amy the whole time as she rushed to make herself 'presentable for bed' and tried to find out what was really up with her.

"Why were you in such a rush to leave, did you not have a good time?" Cream asked.

Amy looked at her and replied, "Yeah, I had a great time I just got tired." Cream raised an eyebrow.

"Amy, what really happened?" Amy sighed remembering how well the rabbit knew her.

"Well, I found out who I danced with," Amy shyly told her.

"Really? Who was it?" Cream eagerly asked.

Amy hesitated before saying, "Sonic." Cream gasped.

"OMG! Was he happy when he found out it was you?" she questioned.

"No, I ran away before he found out," Amy told her best friend.

Cream gave her a disappointing look. "So, tell me if I get this right, he told you who he was but he doesn't know it was you?" the rabbit asked. She nodded.

"I think that's unfair. You should tell him it was you!" Cream stated angrily.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry," Amy weakly apologized. Cream looked at her best friend sympathetically before saying,

"Don't tell that to me, tell that to Sonic." Suddenly, an idea popped in Amy's head and she smiled evilly. She quickly told Cream about how she was going to tell Sonic that she was the one who danced with him. Cream approved. And so that started the chase of the Clues.

Okay, that is the first chapter. Not sure when I will get the next chapter up. Maybe around next week. I hope you like it. The clues are all set but still have to plan the story. *Yawn* this girl is tired. Good day, good night, eat some pie and be yourself.
