Amy watched Sonic perform one of his usual tricks in a fight against Knuckles. They argued over something, but she forgot what. She only thought how cool Sonic looked as he battled it out. "You can do it, Sonic!" she chanted in a cheerleading outfit. As she started with her first cheer, she was interrupted with a harsh message from her dream of dreams.

"Can you be quiet, Amy? You're embarrassing me." Seconds later, they hammered deadly blows at each other as if nothing happened. Amy was shocked. She gave a piece of her heart to Sonic and he trampled all over it without care. Knuckles turned his head and saw her run off sobbing. Off guard, Sonic shot a freight train into his stomach.

"Oof!" said Knuckles as he tumbled backwards.

"Need a hand, Knuckles?" Sonic asked.

"Did you see that?" Knuckles replied.

"What?"

"Amy. She was running away, and it seemed like she was crying."

"You know her. Emotion city... 'Blah blah I want a dress, oh, does my hair look pretty?"

"You're one to talk, you bimbo."

"What did you just call me?" Sonic asked, ready for a fight.

"You heard me, son," and with that, the war revived while Amy disappeared from their minds.

Meanwhile Amy ran and cried. She didn't care where she went and tears filled her eyes. At the same time Tails jogged around exercising when he heard Amy cry. He ran to her and asked "What's wrong, Amy?" in a worried manner.

"Sonic (gasp) and then Knuckles (gasp) and then, ooho, I don't know, but SONIC HATES ME!" she tried to talk but it's always hard communicating when you're bawling your head off.

"It's ok, Amy, I'm sure it's a...uh... misunderingstanding...I mean..."

"But he (gasp) said shut up...and then ...pant... pant... o, I don't know..."

"It's ok, maybe...uh...maybe I...I think Sonic loves you but he doesn't understand how to tell it properly."

"Really?!" Amy's face brightened instantly. "Yes, that must be it... I mean, he understands right? If I was him, I would understand..."

Tails sighed, disappointed that Amy had no idea of his feelings for her. Although he could never raise the courage to tell her, could he? "Amy, I uh... I mean I like...uh..."

But as he muttered to himself, Amy sped off searching for Sonic. "My Sonikku!" she cried in the distance.

"Uh...uh... I like your hair!" he hoped Amy would hear. After hearing his echo, he hung his head low and wondered how to tell her how he felt. Maybe he could fly an airplane and have a banner... no... no... perhaps he could write a letter... no...no...

"I got it!" he ran off to find Sonic.

Sonic and Knuckles finished their combat a while earlier, when both of them forgot why they battled and just gave up. The two went to a restaurant, and Knuckles tried to impress a girl Echidna. "Hey lady, you've seen my beach ball?" he asked.

Sonic face-palmed. "Why don't you just give up?"

"Ah, you're jealous I'm getting all the hot chicks."

"Pshaw!"

"Well why don't you ask one of them out?"

"None of them are hot like me."

"Oh, I know! You and Amy have a thing going, don't you? You do!" he taunted.

"Aw, shut up. Amy and I are nothing, you retard."

"Uh..." Knuckles said and pointed. Sonic turned around in his chair to see Amy wield her hammer, very, very, close to Sonic's head. He jumped out of his seat, just in time. Sonic's chair was reduced to ashes.

"I thought you loved me, Sonic!"

"Well," Sonic said, trying to think fast, "can't we just be friends?"

Before Sonic became a permanent member in heaven via hammer, the manager stepped through. "Excuse me lady, but if you continue to demolish our furniture, our guard will have to escort you out."

Amy turned her head to see Sonic staring. "I thought you liked me..." she whimpered as she walked out the door with tears in her eyes.

"Nice going, Sonic the Idiot." Knuckles didn't miss a beat. More and more people looked at the little drama that unfolded.

"Ok, everyone, shut up!" Sonic yelled as he ran to find Amy.

"Ug, why is everyone a fool today?" Knuckles said, still waiting for the waitresses to take his order.

Sonic searched frantically. She couldn't have gone far, he thought. But before he searched the horizon throughout, something bright and yellow smashed into him. "Oof!" he said, as he looked around for whatever hit him.

"Sorry Sonic, do you need a napkin?" Tails asked as he pulled out a handkerchief. Sonic noticed all the blood that spilled out of his nose and gladly took it.

"Thanks Tails. Why were you so hasty?"

"Interesting question coming from you, Sonic. I have a plan, but I'll need your help."

"Sure, little buddy. What's the problem?"

"I-uh...well, how about we go on a snipe hunt with Amy-"

"I don't think Amy's in the mood for pranks right now, and she's not as gullible as Robotnik..."

"No, no, you see..." he whispered the plan in Sonic's ears.

"I like it!" Sonic said, eager to get on Amy's good side without having to think about a relationship.

Later that night...
