Okay, this will be a series of one-shots about various girls and how much they love Sonic/Aaron Stone. It'll be POV. And obviously, it won't be canon to the series. Well, yes, some of the fairies appearing in this are in love with Sonic, but most of events themselves are just a "what if?". I'll actually state which of these events happened in the series at the end of each chapter. And sure, some of the fairies in this aren't in love with Sonic. There will even be one about Tink :3. Yeah, yeah, I know, but remember, most of this, if not all, is a "what if" type of story. Some of these will take place during the films/stories/etc.

Okay, first of all, Peri.

My hero.

Just imagine the irony. A Frost fairy dying trapped under a pile of snow. That's what would've happened had I not met him. I just love him. Sure, you might think it's no big deal because he saves a lot of girls. But the thing is, the day I met him was also the day of my first kiss. 'Nuff said.

You wonder who I'm talking about? Well, Aaron Stone, of course. Ah, just that name makes my wings flutter in excitement.

There's only one problem. Almost every girl I know envies me for this. No, don't worry, they're not mean to me, they don't go all Why you and not me or anything like that. But whenever I bring him up, they treat me like some kind of celebrity. They can't say anything other than how awesome it must be to date that Aaron Stone, the only guy who has ever managed to whoop a hawk's petunia single-handedly since Ella and Diana Blake and who is so cool because he saved Pixie Hollow from this or that. Yes, the way he puts his life on the line for all of us is amazing and I admire him for that. But for once, I wish I could talk with them about my boyfriend and not about Aaron Stone.

I probably shouldn't think of that. What matters is that I got to know the sweet and caring person he really is. Plus, I have no time to think about that, because there's someone knocking on the door.

So I snapped out of my daydreaming state, got out of bet and opened the door to find my beloved Azure Speedster outside. "Oh, hi. I wasn't expecting you so early. Is there any...umm...special reason for it?" I asked, blushing

"There's...something you should know" he began

And judging by the look on his face, it was something serious. I took his hand and led him inside, closing the door behind the two of us.

"I really don't know how to say it" he continued. He looked sadder with each second

"What is it?" I asked worried, clutching his hand tightly

"I...I'm not really who you think I am"

I stared at him confused for a few seconds. "What?"

"This...the one you see right now, the one you've heard so much about...he's not real"

That didn't make any sense to me. He was right there. I was holding his hand. How could he not be real?

"Aaron, I don't get it" I said in deeper confusion

"That's it" he replied. "I'm not Aaron, I'm Sonic. Sonic the Sparrowhog. Just a regular Tinker. Aaron Stone is just an alter-ego"

That made a bit of sense. But just a bit.

"An alter-ego? But...why?" I asked, intrigued rather than anything else. He probably would've expected me to be angry or something

"I just wanted to protect everyone and still have a normal life"

"I see" I replied. "And the other two..."

"Shadow and Silver" he answered before I had even thought how to ask it

"Does anyone else know?"

"A couple of friends, but that's all. Even Queen Clarion or the others from the Special Forces don't know" he answered. "Since we're at it, feel free to tell Spike and Gliss. I trust them enough for them to know this"

I blushed again. "So...does that mean you trust me too?"

"Of course I do. Does that mean you're alright with it?"

I pulled Sonic into a hug. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet. So that was the big deal?"

"Actually, that's not all"

I let him go, knowing something bad would come up. "Then what it is?"

"You must've heard what I do on a regular basis"

I nodded. "Kicking petunias, saving seasons...is there anything you don't do?"

"Think about it. If anyone like Eggman attacks Pixie Hollow, you might be in danger just by being close to me"

Oh, no. Please, Incanta, tell me it's not true. It can't be true.

"What do you mean?" I asked, knowing exactly what was coming

"I think it'd be safer for you if we stopped seeing each other"

I could literally feel my heart breaking in that moment.

"Plus, there's also the rule with the border..." he continued

"Wait, wait, wait. I thought it didn't apply to you"

"But that doesn't mean I can abuse the privilege" he replied

"I...I understand. It's for the greater good"

"I knew someone as sweet as you would understand"

"How does he manage to make me blush like this?" I asked myself in the moment I heard that as I felt my face turn red again. "Are you on any important business right now?"

"Not really" he answered. "Besides going to the Mainland for the change of seasons in a few weeks, I'm not working on anything important. Why?"

"I just wanted to hang out with you sometime"

"Oh, sure. How about tonight? Eating chili dogs and playing Hero Rising in the basement?" he suggested

"Sounds good to me"

"Hey, I thought Tinkers weren't going to the Mainland"

Sonic scratched the back of his head. "Well, it used to be like that, but, long story short, a couple of things happened, I intervened and now we do. And knowing myself, one day I'll probably come back from the Mainland with another adventure for everyone to talk about"

As Sonic was about to leave, I wrapped my arms around his neck and placed one final kiss on his lips.

"Uhh...I'd better go now. You know, tinkering with things and all that" he said as he walked out through the door.

I didn't lie. I understood him. But I also with things would've turned out differently.

Happened or "what if?": happened

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Why, Sonic, why? You're Aaron Stone! Aaron. Freaking. Stone! I know you could've protected her. The whole community of SonicXPeri shippers (which consists only of me and Carnage Sprite, and probably the guest reviewer from my Love at first sight fic, but still) knows you'd protect her if she was in danger. Why?

*shrug* Well, more of him for me then. *blushes* Uhh...I mean...who should be next?

That's right, you guys choose which girl is next. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be one who actually likes Sonic in the main series. Remember, most of these are "what if?" stories, so you can suggest anyone from the series EXCEPT Queen Clarion. Even I'm not going that far. And of course, except Ella or Diana. That would be even worse. And also, I'll write more one-shots of a single girl, so you can suggest her multiple times. Just not more times in a row. I also want some diversity

note/edit/whatever: this happens sometime between The Tinker's Gift (retelling of the first film) and The Lost Treasure. Originally it was set after The Lost Treasure, but then I realised that by that time, Sonic had already had a crush on Rosetta. And because this is one is part of the series, there would've been continuity conflicts.
