Hiya, Mementi-Mori here! Here is the first fanfic that I actually took the time to write down and publish, so yeah! Please RR. Also if you prefer, if you PM me, just call me Zechs, its shorter that way for those of you out there who are lazy like me.

The day was warm and sunny, not hot mind you, but a pleasant temperature with a light breeze blowing by that made it just perfect for running. And running was what Sonic the hedgehog liked to do best.

He felt the sun lightly beating down on the back of his neck as he dashed along the ground, only stopping when he came to the edge of the plateau. As he stopped for a breather he surveyed the sight of the hilly desert landscape with a small Station Square far away in the distance.

As he stopped to take his breath he noticed a dust cloud rolling along on the desert floor below. It hadn't rained for a while so the idea of a dust cloud was not alien to him, but for a dust cloud to exist something must be making it, and the easiest way to make a dust cloud is to run. And in addition whatever it was must be going very fast from the size of this particular cloud. Sonic smiled to himself as he thought this, after all running by oneself can be great exercise but it tends to be boring, especially way out in the desert.

He quickly found a way down off the cliff and ran to catch up with whoever this person was. "It can't be Shadow," he thought to himself, "his hover-skates wouldn't throw up this much dust, unless of course he decided to take them off to practice, in which case he shouldn't be able to go this fast."

But before he knew it he had caught up to the strange person. "Hey," he addressed the person. "Hello," it replied. He couldn't help but think that the person had a rather feminine voice, not like Amy or Cream's or anyone else he knew, but feminine nonetheless.

"How's it hangin'?" he asked.

"Hu?"

"How are you?"

"Okay, I guess."

"Just okay?"

"I see no reason to be otherwise."

"This is getting nowhere fast," he thought to himself, then, suddenly, out of the blue, an idea came to him.

"Hey."

"Yes?"

"You're a girl, right?"

"I suppose I would classify myself as such."

"Wanna race?"

"What's in it for me?"

"If you win I'll go out on a date with you."

"What's a date?"

"You have to be kidding me," he thought to himself. "A date is a time when you go out and do something and have fun with another person," He responded.

"Fun . . . okay sounds interesting, I accept your challenge."

Without any warning the stranger suddenly began to pick up speed and pull away from Sonic, and just for a moment as if did he saw a flash of pink in the dust. "Did I just agree to a date with Amy?" he thought to himself, "No way in Mobius is that going to happen!" it never occurred to him that both him and the stranger were racing close to the sound barrier, a feat of which Amy could only dream of. He sped up to match pass her but even as he did the stranger sped up even more to the point where they were racing neck and neck.

"Where are we racing to?"

The thought had never occurred to Sonic; you just raced to race, not to any one point. As he looked up inspiration hit him, "how about those two rocks, they look somewhat like finish line posts?"

"Affirmative."

The two rocks grew rapidly larger as the two racers streaked towards them. Side by side they kept accelerating so as to get ahead of the other, until just when they were almost there, the stranger put on just enough speed so as to get about an inch in front of Sonic. Then just as quickly as they had been speeding up both racers dug their heels in to slow down. Sonic bent over his knees panting he had never raced so hard in his life, outside of saving the world a time or two. "You, you," he tried to speak as he panted for breath, then taking in a long inhale, he looked up at his competitor and for the first time saw the face of the first person to hand him defeat in a long time, "You're a robot!"

And indeed it was, a robotic hedgehog about as tall as him stood about four feet away. She was about his height but her spikes were arranged like Amy's but were longer, and she was pink just like Amy. Taking in to account the obvious fact that she was a robot the most notable facet about her was her remarkably organic features, such as the fact that she actually had a mouth and spoke with only the slightest reminiscence of the metallic ting that was so common to most robots.

The look of astonishment on Sonic the Hedgehog's face was so obvious that anyone, including the robot before him, could have noticed it. And the robot did notice it. She grew obviously nervous and looked down at her feet, which were shuffling nervously in the dust, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't think it mattered that much. You don't have to actually take me out if you don't want to." Sonic shook his head, "you aren't trying to kill me so you being a robot isn't that much of a problem, and Sonic the hedgehog always keeps his promises, no matter what, so come on!" He grabbed her hand and started to dash towards Station Square but stopped before he had even gone one step, "By the way what is your name; I've told you mine but I don't even know yours."

"I don't have one, at least not one I can remember."

"That's odd Eggman usually names his robots"

"Eggman?"

"The egg shaped villain that usually tries to conquer the world, also goes by Master, Dr. Eggman, Dr. Ivo Robotnik," that was as far as Sonic got.

"Dr. Robotnik did not make me!" she snapped. "Oh, I'm sorry I don't know what came over me just then, I just did that out of reaction!" "Eh, its okay, whoever made you must not like Eggman then if they took the time to build an instinctive hatred of him into your system. But we'll have to make up a name for you; I can't just call you 'you' or something like that all the time." He thought for a minute, "Hey I've got it! You look a lot like an acquaintance of mine named Amy so I'll call you Cyber Amy or CA for short, that way it stays simple and fast but anyone could tell the difference between you and her, plus it won't double up with any of Eggman's stupid robots!" "CA, I like it." the newly named CA replied, "I'll keep it!"

The two hedgehogs ran off hand in hand towards the city.

As they approached the city CA asked Sonic, "Hey Sonic, what do you do on a date?"

"I really don't have much of an idea but I thought we could go to the top of the tallest building in town and look around for some ideas."

"That sounds like a good idea, but how will we get up to the roof, I assume that most people will act like you did when you first saw me and get really scared."

"There is that," he thought for a moment, "Since you can easily match my speed why don't we just run up the side, I do it all the time?"

"That seems suitable for me."

The two friends picked up speed to be able to make the run straight up the side of Station Squares tallest building, with the positive result that most people who saw them just thought that it was Sonic out for an afternoon run. Then, the next thing they knew they were standing on the best place in Station Square for a view. Sonic ran his eyes across the vast city below.

"Hey CA, have you ever been to the movies?"

"No, but I know what they are, if you know of any good ones that sounds like a nice idea."

"Yeah I thought so too, catch a movie and then pick up a quick bite . . . oops, I forgot, you can't eat can you?"

"Negative, although I am an android I do posses the ability to absorb and digest both carbohydrates and proteins."

"In plain English, you can eat food like everyone else?"

"Affirmative, I possess that ability as a way to augment or replace the power output from my internal reactor and battery."

Sonic put his hand up to rub his forehead and shook his head at the same time, "A simple yes would have done the job just fine, no need to go all science-techy on me"

"Sorry."

"Its fine, just try to go a bit lighter on the vocabulary in the future."

"I think that I can mange that."

Although the person at the ticket window looked at them funny he sold them the movie tickets, the same going for everyone else around, the sight of a robot was somewhat adverse but the fact that she was accompanied by the famous hero Sonic the hedgehog made most of that fear dissipate. After the movie they swung by an ice cream stand and sat down in the park to talk while they ate their snack.

"So you don't remember anything about who made you or anything like that?"

"No the first thing that I remember is waking up in a room that was utterly torn apart with part of the roof caved in and equipment strewn everywhere, after that I just wanted to get away as quick as possible so I started running, and then I ran into you."

"That's weird, I don't know of anyone other than Eggman who would have the technology to design a robot of any sort let alone one advanced enough to be able to eat and talk intelligently, but I'm pretty sure if he made you he would have not made you deny knowing him so fervently."

"That would seem to be in line with what I have observed as well, though my experience is not anywhere as close to as broad as yours."

"Oh, well it's the sun's setting so I should be getting home sometime soon; I really enjoyed hanging with you today."

As he stood up to go he felt a hand grab his glove, he turned around to see Cyber Amy looking at the ground with a slightly sad look in her eyes, "Could I possibly see you again tomorrow?"

"Sure, just tell me where you plan to spend the night and I can stop by first thing."

Cyber Amy continued to look at the ground and shook her head slightly.

"Oh, that's right you don't have a place to stay! Well I would be a pretty poor friend to just leave you here, don't worry I'll think of something."

At his words Cyber Amy looked up with a mixture of happiness and confusion on her face.

"I know," Sonic said suddenly, "I've got just the perfect place for you, come on!"
