Bribery for love.

Metal Sonic looked at the computer screen with a determination only a machine could have. A wire coming out of him into the computer lay on his left. Metal Sonic was hacking into himself. He was searching his copied data for something he had missed, something so important that without it he was once again defeated. The files on the screen had names which made no sense. 'Shay drt', 'T%£' and 'BeTo' were some. Metal Sonic simply skim read through them as if they were in English. Metal Sonic was crushing a robot eye in his right hand. Metal Sonic was getting annoyed. There was nothing there. Spindash: he knew about that, Chaos control: He used that to find it of no use, Sonic heart... what? Metal Sonic looked at the few hundred files below. He had found the area of the sub-coconscious he had copied that controlled the feelings of the owner of the original data (Did that make sense?). Metal Sonic inspected the files. Maybe they held the clue, he was unable to use them as he did not feel a great deal of emotions, only simple ones like happiness, anger, confusion (Which Metal Sonic didn't see as an emotion, just lack of knowledge) and revenge. Maybe one of the emotions he could not use held there secret to success. It may have been a long shot, but he had exhausted all other options. Metal Sonic scanned each file of the emotions of Sonic and his friends. Metal Sonic was surprised at what he was finding out. Rouge felt guilt, Shadow used to actually be happy, Knuckles was actually getting bored of guarding the Master emerald. Metal Sonic then stopped at a certain .MSF (Metal Sonic file) Metal Sonic stared at the .MSF for a few minutes. That couldn't be right, maybe he moved it from one of the Sonic files or something. No, he would remember doing that, and why would he do that to begin with? Metal Sonic's confusion slowly turned to happiness as he realised he could possibly use this information. Yes, he had her personality right there, he could tell from it she would obsess over finding out who it was who held the file. She would do him a favour to discover who it was who held this. Amy Rose, Metal Sonic thought, it's time you learnt of your secret admirer.
Amy Rose walked along the pavement in Station Square. She was holding a bag of shopping. The roads were oddly quiet that night. Amy felt the cold wind blowing across her face. There was something about to happen, the strange felling hung in the air like a Kestrel. Amy grabbed the collar of her coat and pulled it up above the bottom fourth of her face. A car pasted by, making Amy realise how few cars there actually were. Apart for the odd car Station Square was deserted. Amy sighed a deep sigh. How she wished Sonic was near her, keeping her safe and warm... Amy let her mind wander, until she heard metallic footsteps. She turned to see Metal Sonic moving towards here. Amy considered running, but she knew she couldn't get away, he moved to fast. Amy then realised that Metal Sonic wasn't using any copied data. He was small and lacking the amazing power he had with his copied data active. Amy took out her hammer. She could take him as long as he was in this form. Metal Sonic stopped a meter away from Amy.
"Do not fear me, I have deal for you." Amy tightened her grip on the hammer, this must be a trap.
"A deal? What would that be?" Metal Sonic picked up the suspicion in her voice.
"I am not trying to trick you. Anyway, you are aware I have all your data?" Amy nodded. "Well I also hold all the feelings of the people I have copied data from."
"Go on..." Amy couldn't see what Metal Sonic was planning. Was he going to 'emotion' her to death?
"Well, Amy, you are loved." Amy was confused.
"Of course I am, everyone knows Sonic secretly loves me." Metal Sonic let out a loud laugh. After half a minute he pulled himself together.
"No, afraid not. You have a secret admirer, not Sonic, but you do have one."
"How can I trust you?"
"I have the life data of you all, and nothing to gain from lying." Amy considered this for a minute.
"You gain from the deal you proposed." Metal Sonic nodded in agreement. Amy looked at Metal Sonic's life less eyes. He saw this as a game. "What is your deal?"
"Nothing much, I just want the fake emerald made by Tails." Amy cast a cynical eye.
"For what?"
"A experiment. It won't harm or evolve any of your friends." Amy took a step backwards. This was ridiculous!
"Why should I believe or care what you have to say?"
"To prove my trustworthiness I'll tell you of another match. If I prove I know what I'm talking about will you believe me?"
"Who is this match?" Amy realised why she was going to care. Metal Sonic had simply mentioned two of her friends were in love and she was very egger to learn which to. To know one loves her, she'll be desperate to discover who.
"Knuckles and Rouge have feelings for each over." Amy thought, that did make sense... "I am unaware of how well they hide there feelings as I have never seen them together, but they are both in love." What Metal Sonic had said made sense, it seemed he was telling the truth. Metal Sonic started to walk away. "I'll come back in two weeks." Amy sighed. Wait...
"Will I love him back?" Amy shouted.
"As soon as you know he loves you, probably." Metal Sonic flied off into the sky. Leaving Amy with her shopping, hammer and confusion.
A week past. Tails was in his laboratory working. He was trying to create a device which would let the Tornado last on less fuel longer. So far he had got a device which blew up cheese. How that happened was anyone's guess. Tails heard footsteps closing in on him from the stairs. Tails turned away from his cheese hating device to see Amy walking into his lab. She looked worried.
"Hay, Amy, are you okay?" Amy turned to Tails and put a smile on.
"Tails, can I burrow that fake emerald you made?" Tails put his index finger up to gesture 'one minute'. He went to over to a large pile of boxes and parts. He moved a few boxes away and started rummaging in another. He later emerged with a orange emerald identical to the real one. He walked back over to Amy.
"Here you go. What do you want it for?" Amy swallowed. She wasn't a good liar. She directed her eyesight straight at Tails, but couldn't hold it well.
"I know someone who wants to do some tests with it." Well, that wasn't a lie. She does.
"Who?" Dang Tails, don't be so nosey.
"er... Big, I mean Shadow." Shadow seemed more likely. Tails gave Amy a strange look, but he shock it off and gave Amy the emerald. As Amy left she told herself that she would only give Metal Sonic the emerald if she had to. She was going to try to find her secret admirer herself first.
"Why are we all her?" Sonic look around. He had got a call from Amy to meet her here. She had promised it wasn't anything romantic. Sonic now believed her, unless she wanted Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge and team Chaotix to watch. Maybe she wanted to propose... Sonic dismissed the idea as Amy entered. She wouldn't propose in that. Amy cleared her throat and began.
"I have been told by possibly the most reliable force on earth that one of you here has a crush on me." Amy was exaggerating to put pressure on her secret admirer. "Except Rouge, who is just here because I wanted her to know that Knuckles loves her."
"LIES, ALL LIES!" Shouted Knuckles and ran out. Rouge looked at Amy, where Knuckles had run to, then back to Amy. She winked and followed him out. Espio watched and shook his head in disapproval.
"This is just stupid. You think gathering everyone together would cause the admirer to admit his feelings, which are stupid to begin with." Everyone looked at Espio. Espio became uneasy. "Vector, you give your opinion now." Everyone looked at Vector.
"This is getting weird. Plus I think we all know who her secret admirer is." Everyone looked at Sonic.
"Who? Me?" Sonic looked at all the suspicious faces. "I'm not Knuckles, I don't hide my feelings." No one seemed to believe him.
"Who told you this?" Shadow, who showed no interest in the subject, asked. Amy looked at Shadow for a minute before trying to change the subject.
"What importance is it? Anyway, where were we..."
"Who told you?" Amy sighed. Shadow was too persistent.
"Metal Sonic, he had discovered who it was and wanted to cut a deal." Sonic shock his head.
"Amy, Metal Sonic is lying. After whatever he did to himself when he last attacked he has become more conniving than Eggman. You can't trust him." Shadow gave a slight smile.
"Sonic, I think we can be sure that Metal Sonic is up to something." Sonic looked at Shadow and smiled. They both ran out of the doors. Espio rolled his eyes and also left. Amy watched. Were they right? Was this simply Metal Sonic playing mind games with her? Amy sat on the floor. She knew she couldn't trust Metal Sonic, but knowing that someone who was just in the room had a love for her was tearing her up inside. Why did she care so much? Why? Amy looked at the fake emerald in her hand. She knew she couldn't give it to Metal Sonic, whatever he was planning to do with it. Amy let out a long sad sigh. I'm pathetic she thought.
Amy waited at the spot in which she had met Metal Sonic two weeks ago. She kept telling herself to just walk away, but she couldn't. She had this urge to find who secretly loved her, something Metal Sonic was willing to give her. Once again the city was practically deserted. the cold breeze blew across Amy's head, making it flicker. Once again Amy heard Metal footsteps against the gravel of the streets. She was once again greeted to Metal Sonic's lifeless eyes, never dropping in focus or determination. He was taking his time. He was in no hurry. Amy held the fake emerald tightly. He couldn't use it for anything, what was she worried about? She knew what she was worried about, Metal Sonic wouldn't want something he couldn't use. Metal Sonic once again stopped a meter from Amy. He held out a hand. This time he didn't want to exchange pleasantries.
"The fake emerald." Amy showed it to him. However, she didn't give it to him.
"I hope you're going to keep your side of the deal." Metal Sonic nodded. He didn't take his gaze of the emerald. Amy couldn't believe she was making a deal with Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic noticed her hesitation.
"Amy. Don't fight it, you lust for someone you can hold close, someone you can really talk to, someone who will truly understand you. I am offering you him. Just give me the emerald." Amy stared into Metal Sonic's eyes. He know seemed to know everything. Amy slowly began to hand him the emerald. Suddenly Amy heard something drop down behind her. A hand grabbed her shoulder. Amy was about to look around when she heard four distinct words.
"Amy, I love you."
