Attention all FFN ladies and jellybeans!

Here is my newest piece! I hope you all enjoy it, here's the first chapter! You'll see the mention and a few sentences from an actual fantasy novel I'm reading right now and it seemed fitting to put it in! Obviously I own nothing but the plot, everything else belongs to SEGA bar the mention of said book, which you will see soon! Enjoy!

Ciao! xx

'I can't remember the last time I was so, damn bored.' Silver groaned, slumped over a bean bag.

'Comments like that make me fear you boys are going to stir trouble.' Cream winced a little as she looked up from the checkers board.

'Don't worry, Cream, even Silver isn't that stupid.' Rouge said as she shot the grey hedgehog a wink.

'I'd beg to differ.' Blaze smirked as she flicked through a magazine.

It had been weeks since the gang had even seen or heard a mere clue of Eggman and his sidebots, and even the girls were getting tired of not being thrown into battle. Cream and Manic had been versing each other in checkers for so long they had lost count of how many times the young rabbit won. Tails was tinkering away on the Tornado, Cosmo seated by him to pass along tools as she made flowers in the air with her powers.

Silver was still draped over a bean bag, Shadow and Knuckles slowly drifting off into an afternoon snooze on the other bean bags. Blaze was still flicking through a gossip magazine, proving just how bored she really was. Rouge was adjusting the curlers in Sonia's hair, now that they had time to do some pampering while Tikal was reading some ancient manuscripts next to Sonia on the ground.

Sonic was leaning up against the arm rest on the couch, throwing one of those balls made of rubber bands in the air before catching it again. Amy was at the other end of the lounge, legs curled up and pulling her knees in as she read a fiction novel intently. The blue blur sat up a little, causing him to bring Amy into his view. He smirked a little before throwing the ball at her head.

'Hey!' Amy startled before rubbing her head.

'What?' Sonic questioned, putting on a fake innocence before cracking a smile.

Amy giggled inwardly before throwing the ball back in his direction, only for him to catch it. The fuchsia hedgehog rolled her eyes before burying her nose back into her book. Sonic tilted his head a little before cautiously shuffling closer so he could see what she was reading. Destined by Aprilynne Pike. Sonic couldn't help but begin to read over her shoulder…

When his lips fell on her neck, her cheeks, and dotted her eyelids, she didn't pull away. Even when his mouth found hers, frantic and delving, she returned the kiss with the same fire and passion. It wasn't until-

'Oi, Faker?' Shadow said a little louder for the third time.

'Hmm?' Sonic questioned as he snapped back to reality, not having time to process whatever Amy was reading.

'I asked if you had seen my spanner.' Tails called out from under the Tornado.

'Pfft, doubt it. Sonic wouldn't know- dammit!' manic cut himself off after Cream won yet again.

'Give it up, Manic.' Tikal said in a familiar monotone, still buried in her manuscripts.

'Whatcha' thinkin' so hard about, Sonic?' Knuckles chuckled, lifting his head up to see his friend.

'I think the nearest chilli dog stand is not far down the road.' Cosmo piped up, causing everyone to giggle.

'Trust me, he knows. He's been- ouch!' Sonia squealed in the middle of her sentence as Rouge pulled a roller out of her hair firmly.

Amy finally came into the conversation as she finished her chapter, causing her to look up and see Sonic hovering over her shoulder out of the corner of her eye. She felt her body tense up at the realisation of his close proximity, plus sudden registering his warm breath on her neck. As she turned to face him, he'd already leapt of the couch and onto his feet in one swift movement.

'Yep, yeah. Chilli dogs, so I'm off. Bye!' Sonic stammered through a blush before speeding out the door.

The gang shrugged it off before returning to… doing nothing. Amy watched Sonic rush out the door, right up until the blue streak behind him faded away before returning to her book. She skimmed over the page until she found her place, and suddenly realised why Sonic was looking over her shoulder before turning a little jumpy. She quickly began to blush, putting a certain echidna's fur to shame.

She began to giggle under her breath, wondering what Sonic was thinking right now…

.

Over the hills, around the bends and all around Knothole a blue streak could be seen dashing by as Sonic made his afternoon run. He'd test himself, running faster and faster on the flat ground until got to jump and duck around the trees and rocks throughout the forest. He chuckled to himself a little as he felt the warm air whip through his quill and fly by him.

He ran out of the forest, headed towards the ocean. He sped up a cliff that overlooked the water, skidding to a halt so he could watch the sun beginning to meet the ocean's horizon. He subconsciously let out a goofy smile before taking a seat on the plush, green grass. He propped himself up with his hands behind his back before stretching out to pick a flower, bringing it to his nose.

It took him a few seconds to take in the colour of the flower, a beautifully vibrant pink. He actually tried to supress a smile, but he couldn't as he thought of a certain hedgehog of the same colour. It lead him to thinking about when they were sitting on the couch together earlier, her smile when he threw the ball at her before she looked at him. It made him feel just twelve years old again, the immaturity in it, but it suddenly felt fun again.

It led him to think about what Amy was reading… he couldn't remember the name, but he could remember the few sentences he read before being snapped back to reality. The couple sounded so in love, so into each other, whether they were meant to or not. It sounded as though they wanted each other but, maybe shouldn't. He couldn't stop his mind from transferring the characters into him and… well, Amy.

He blushed just at the thought before tossing the flower away and getting to his feet. He quite literally shook away his thoughts as he dusted invisible dirt away from his fur. He was about to speed away again, the same way he did every day before his communicator sounded, lucky for him really. He brought his wrist up and clicked to answer it, for tails to show up on the screen.

'Hey bro, where are you?' Tails asked with his usual, friendly smile.

'Just stopped for a minute, thinking I'll head back around now. I'd say there's about another hour until sunset.' Sonic nodded.

'Sweet, I want to show you an upgrade to the Tornado!'

'See you soon, pal.' Sonic chuckled before hanging up.

The cobalt hero took another look out at the ocean, watching the waves crash upon themselves and making their way towards the rocks at the base of the cliff. He smirked before dashing back home, headed back towards the forest. He sped down the cliff and ran across the beach, leaving a blue trail mixed with sand behind him as he neared the forest.

As he came to the edge of the forest, about to whip through and continue on home, he swore he could hear coughing and spluttering before painful groans. He skid to a halt and looked around silently, waiting and listening for the sounds to present themselves again. Heavy breathing and panting before another painful groan sounded not far to his right, causing him to dash off and look around.

'Hello?' Sonic cocked a cautious brow as he walked around.

'H-Help.' A weak voice sounded before a cough.

'Hello?' Where are you?' Sonic called out louder before picking up the pace to find the source.
