Chapter 1: A Little Heart break?

(Amy's POV)

Hi, I'm Amy Rose, age 14 with an incredible passion for a certain blue hero. How I really dreamed for us to go on a date together, have our first kiss, date some more and eventually get married. Only one tiny problem, the guy keeps running away from me! I would kill for just one chance to have even a proper conversation. Lately I've grown more mature, grown taller, longer hair, (bigger chest) etc. What I really would want is a chance to prove to sonic that I'm not some annoying, bitchy fan girl (yes I can cuss now!). So here I am lying on my bed listening to my favorite song "Follow me". The doorbell rings and I rushed downstairs to see who it was. "Hi, Amy!" Cream's cheerful voice rang. "I wanted you to come shopping with me to the mall. They have a 50% discount on EVERYTHING!" she squealed, jumping up and down."Chao! Chao!" Cheese jumped alongside her, he copies almost everything Cream does, and I mean everything! "No freakin' way! I'll be with you in a sec!" I ran upstairs to try on a pink top with spaghetti straps and glittery stars on it that glow in the dark, with some black designer jeans and pink high-tops. "Alright I'm ready!" I yelled and we hopped into my magenta convertible. While we were driving Cream and I decided to gossip a little bit. "So you heard the rumors about Sonic?" Cream asked. "No… and what kind of rumors?" I asked, curious. "Well I heard from Marine that Sonic and Sally are getting really close, people are even saying that they secretly go out."

I stomped on the brake pedal in front of the traffic lights so hard, Cream and Cheese's face got splattered on the windshield. "That can't be true!" I hollered. "Sally is just some stuck-up bitch, who made me trip on the escalator, spilled soda on my new dress and fuckin'-""Shhhhhhhhh! Amy could you stop swearing!" Cream covered cheese's ear holes and pointed to a car right beside us with some gawking strangers looking at me like I was insane. "Oops! Hehe," I laughed nervously looking straight ahead and driving until no one was left on the road. I sighed deeply then started mumbling angrily to myself. "Anyways, Amy I just think they're rumors. Don't let those get to you okay?" Cream whispered soothingly. Cheese just stared blankly at me."They better because if I ever run into that bit-""Amy!" "Sorry, Cream. If I ever run into her again, let's just say I'm going to give her a piece of my mind!" I clenched my teeth. "But what if Sonic is with her, he may think you're over-reacting." Cream pointed out. "Ohhh I'm so going to make sure I get her back, one of these days, even expose her for what she really is!" I declared."You're lucky Sally isn't the princess of Mobius anymore or things would've gotten pretty ugly!' Cream warned. I nodded in agreement. The people in my world aren't the only ones who've changed. The government decided to stop their form of monarchy and instead built a peaceful, non-ruled society. Since then, Sally wasn't the heir anymore and was free to date whoever she wished, unfortunately for me.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'll help you get some payback!" Cream persuaded. "That girl needs to learn some standards about kicking chao!"

"Chao! Chao!" Cheese shouted in agreement.

We both laughed as we found a parking space in front of Knothole Mall. Everything smelled like the aroma of strawberries and lemons.

"Wow! I want to go to this store, and this store, and definitely this store!" my eyes averted to all the clothing stores this mall had to offer. "Hehe, well don't spend too much that you'll go out in debt!" Cream chuckled. So many merchandise so little time. My arms felt like boulders against the heavy bags I carried. We got to a store called Monde de Ventements, some fancy French store. All clothes were surprisingly beautiful, fancy, and sexy with the lowest prices. There were saucy red outfits, sky blue dresses, and mysterious black outfits (which don't have a lot of body coverage) "Ummm… some of these dresses look inappropriate." Cream eyed a black stripper kind of dress. "Actually I might at least buy one of these outfits," thinking that maybe wearing the saucy red one will make Sonic head-over-heels for me. "Okay then,' Cream replied uncertainly. " I'll meet you in the food court," and she sauntered away eyeing me suspiciously. I gazed at the crimson red dress, it cut down the side for the legs, adorned with red jewels and black stones, a rose pinned on the side. The shoes that came with it were high tops had straps also encrusted with rubies and black stone combination. I asked the cashier "How much is that red dress?"

"It's around $300 madam,' she replied an accent "The shoes included will be an extra $100, original price $600, but since the sale it's $300." I gaped at her. A $600 dress! $300! This might be the only sale this mall's ever had, so why not? "I'll take it!" I declared. "Excellent choice madam" she said and rang it up. I gave her my debit card then sprinted to tell Cream. She was sitting at a table, talking to Marine, Blaze, and Rouge. "Hi Amy!" Rouge greeted me with her glamorous smile. The rest said hello too while Marine jumped at her. "Amy! How's my best girlfriend in town!" "Not much except this cool new dress I bought!" I showed them eagerly. All of them gasped, jaws hanging open. "How did you afford this?" Marine exclaimed. "Oh I was saving my money!" I grinned. "Yeah by using mine!" Cream crossed her arms and frowned. "I thought red was my color!" Blaze pretended to whine. "Isn't that dress a little too revealing for you?" Rouge smirked. "Oh please!" I rolled my eyes. "I look good in any dress I choose!" "Well since you still owe me..." Cream unfolded her hand expectantly. "Fine lunch is one me!" I sighed. I bought their lunch and drinks then we sat at our table. "Well either this mall had a petting zoo I didn't hear about, or are there gorillas eating lunch at a table?" someone mocked from behind. I spun around and saw Sally snickering in front of us. "Look what the doctor just ordered! Sorry ma'am but the insane asylum is forty miles from here!" I slayed back. "Awwww is the little twelve year old mad because she can't even get one guy. Well don't worry hon lots of girls get rejected particularly you!" Sally flashed her cerulean eyes evilly. "What do you want Sally!? I have no time to deal with a bitch like you!" I gritted my teeth. "Look who's talking! I just came by to eat with my new boyfriend!" Sally smirked. "B-boyfriend?!" I sputtered confused. "Are you deaf!? Yes BOYFRIEND! Now if you'll excuse me I have a date to attend to!" Sally floated away to a faraway table. There, sitting with a huge grin toward me waving at Sally was MY Sonic!

"Sonic…Sally...Sonic...Sally… Sonic…SAAALLLY!" I screeched the final word at the top of my voice. Faces turned and stared as I stomped toward the couple. "Amy? You alright?" Sonic asked, concerned. " Alright Yeah I'm dam well alright! I was just walking by and I saw you two as a couple, and to show my congrats…" "What do you want you…?" Sally paused until a large pepperoni pizza slammed into her face, with some other ingredients for my payback surprise. "Let's see some mustard, ketchup, dressing, and maybe some barbecue sauce to go with it!" Folks howled with laughter at the now reddening Sally. Satisfied I walked back to the girls, when some gooey salad landed with a splatter on my hair. "Just to return the thanks!" Sally cackled. "Sally! Amy! What the hell are you doing?!" Sonic got in between us then grabbed my wrist. "Amy you started this! What was the point in doing that?! Sally did nothing to you!" he shouted in my face. "OH NOW YOUR DEFENDING HER?! THAT 'S JUST GREAT!" I yanked my arm out and threw a Chaos Cola at him, but he dodged and it landed on Sally with a splash. "Wait a second Amy let's talk about this!" Sonic tried to catch me. "Like you care!" I growled, slapped his face and sprinted away with shopping bags and all to my convertible. "Amy, WAIT!" Rouge, Marine, Cream, Blaze, and Sonic shouted, but I already stomped on the accelerator and drove full speed home.

(Normal POV)

All the girls, except Sally who's in the restroom, glared at Sonic. "What!?" he shrugged exasperated. "What! What did you think how Amy felt with you and Sally!" Cream and Marine yelled. "Look, let me talk to Amy I'll explain everything!" Sonic promised "Amy…I'm so sorry…."

(Amy's POV)

I dropped all my shopping bags and dress on the couch and sobbed all the way upstairs to my room. I crashed on the bed covering my face with a pillow. "Sonic…Sonic…why?" I thought wiping away tears. My eyes shut, I began to dream about all the times I chased Sonic, helped him defeat Eggman, and saying that one day he will marry me "Oh please!" I thought "All because I kept chasing him day after day, he became annoyed, and now he and Sally are together! Face it; I'm just some silly fan girl in way over her head!" I continued crying when the doorbell rang. "What now!" I thought as I walked downstairs. I opened the door to see Sonic standing there all by himself. "Hey," he began awkwardly. "Is this a bad time?" "You know this is just as a bad time as any, Sonic so just leave me alone," I mumbled and almost sealed the door harshly if it weren't for Sonic's foot in the way. "I just came to explain about this afternoon," he told me innocently. "Look I know you and Sally are dating. It was completely obvious from the beginning! Now if you please," he blocked me again. "No you're not okay with this, I can see that clearly. I want to talk. Now!" he emphasized. "You are so lucky I'm so nice," I grumbled sarcastically, then showed Sonic to the living room. He sat on one huge couch apart from the shopping bags. "You're right Amy," Sonic started, fiddling with his thumbs. "But you know, I liked her for a really long time and Sally likes me back so, yeah that was kind of the beginning. I thought our bond was very special, and you know where I'm going with this right?" he asked. "Sonic…maybe you haven't noticed, or you're just blind to see it, but she isn't nice to everyone you know…" I frowned. "What do you mean?" "Sally, your so-called perfect girlfriend and former princess happens to love to make my life miserable! You could even ask Cream! She tripped me on purpose and I fell down the escalator, she…" I was interrupted by Sonic's hand. "Amy I'm sure she didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident…" "Oh no it freakin' was not!" my temper rose again. "She practically hates my guts!" "Amy you were just a little jealous." Sonic said firmly. "Forget it! I know you wouldn't listen to me! You still think I'm some fan girl chasing you around like some LUNATIC WITH AN OBSESSION!" I hollered. "Amy that's not true at all! I still like you, but just as a friend, a really close friend!" "I know I might have a really big temper but if you mean that then you would believe me!" He hesitated for a moment then replied "I don't know about that, but I'll make it up to you. We'll spend some time tomorrow at the new theme park Chaos Island. It'll be just the two for us as friends, the whole day, I promise," he smiled sincerely. I was immediately woken up from my sullen state. "So he still cares about me! Of course he does! Who knows! Maybe this will be a chance to get even closer!" "Yeah I'll go, you always know how to cheer me up, Sonic!" I whispered shyly. "I knew you couldn't refuse! I'll pick you up at 7:00am." he started to walk out the door. "Uhh, Sonic…" I stopped him. "Yeah, Amy," he turned around to face me. "Thanks again, I really appreciate it," it was no more than a whisper. "You're welcome and only just friends," he remarked, dashing sonic speed through the sunset. "Friends…" I repeated, "Only friends." I went back upstairs now in a better mood than before."At least he wanted to make me feel happy. Such a sweet guy!" I beamed to myself. The phone rang again, this time my cell phone rang. "Hello?" "Hey Amy, I just wanted to check up on you, you okay? You left the mall in tears!" "I'm fine right now that my tempers gone down. Sonic came over and we talked it out," I responded. "Sonic! What did he say! What did he say?" "He told me how he and Sally decided to be finally together but forget that! He offered me to come with him to Chaos Island tomorrow!" I squealed. "Like a dated?!" Cream clapped on the other end. "No! Didn't I say he was with Sally? Like a friend or a get together kind of thing." "Is Sally coming with you two?" "Nope! Thank god! I had enough of her for one day!" "Me too! You know after Sonic went after you, Sally came by to us and said you deserved to be heartbroken! Not to mention, she, um, called you a bad name, and started insulting us, she even kicked Cheese again and…" While listening to Cream's rants about Sally, I gazed out the window. "Friends" I thought again."Sonic just wants me to be a close friend, nothing more…" I dropped my head at the thought."Guess I just went too far those other couple times, but I'm a close friend, which is good enough for me. What about him dating Sally? I've got to at least find some proof for the stuck-up whore she really is! But then what? Have Sonic heart-broken? No… I got to think of something else…"

"…do you even believe that Sonic and Sally should be together?" Cream asked. "Huh?" "Weren't you listening?" Cream demanded. "Uhh yeah, I don't think Sonic and Sally is a perfect match, that's not my decision though." "Huh? What are you saying?" "I mean is that Sonic can choose whoever he wants." "Don't you even feel angry or even sad about this?" "Yeah I do, but I don't have proof that Sally isn't who everyone thinks she is anymore. Besides even if I do, Sonic may be heart-broken. I don't want to do that to him." "True, maybe we'll find a way…can I come over?" "Sure, make sure to bring the others along too!" "Okay! See you!" Cream hung up. "Man I have to get rid of this mess!" I examined the living room filled with shopping bags. I dragged all of them to my room, hung them in my enormous walk-in closet, and then threw the bags in the dumpster. Five minutes after that, the girls came over and got together in my room. We talked about nothing in particular, just normal girl stuff. "I've always wondered something about each one of you guys…" Marine commented. "Like what?" we all asked, staring at her. "Such as whom do you like?" Marine grinned, sneakily. "For Amy, it's Sonic, no surprise!" Rouge smirked. "Ha-ha, very funny! What about you and Knuckles?" I countered. Rouge blushed and looked really flustered. We all giggled as she pouted. "Oh yeah! What about Blaze? I hear you and Silver are awfully close!" Rouge sneered. "What the… look we are just friends! Stop spreading rumors!" Blaze got defensive. "Oh sure Blaze," I decided to play along. "It's so obvious that you two make a perfect match!" "But Silver's just so naïve!" Blaze muttered, rolling her eyes. "Sure, but didn't you say that's what you liked about him?" Marine joked. "I… I…" Blaze stuttered, blushing. "I…fine I do sort of like him, in a way." "I knew it!" Rouge cheered. "Don't say anything!" Blaze growled. "Whatever you say!" we told her. Blaze made the "I'm watching you" sign on all four of us. We all laughed and continued on with the conversation. "So Amy, Cream told us that you were okay with Sally going out with Sonic," Rouge stated. "I know it sounds crazy, but can I really interfere with a guy's relationship?" "Not if it's a wrong matchup," Marine pointed out. "I know," I mumbled. "Well, whenever you need us you can call us, ok?" Cream reassured me. "Thanks guys, you truly are my friends," I was grateful.

"Hey, have you ever heard about the things happening around the city?" Blaze questioned. "What kind of things?" I wondered. "Earthquakes are happening around everywhere, but the strange thing is nothing underground is causing it," Blaze explained. "Do you think It might happen again on you date with Sonic?" Marine was worried. "For the last time it's not a date! It's just a friend- get-together!" "Well just be careful, we don't want something to happen like that escalator incident again!" Rouge remarked. "I told you before, Sally tripped me on purpose!" I barked. "Sure, we know you would never really trip on accident, you're not that clumsy! Or are you?" "Real nice, Rouge. Real nice!" I huffed. "Well, we'll see you Friday, and tell us everything about your date," Marine waved when they when out the door. "For the last time IT'S NOT A DATE!" I yelled, waving back as they drove to their separate homes. "Although, I wish it was," I sighed. "Friends… Just friends…"
