Sentiments
"Hey Tails, try to keep up! You're too slow!"
"No fair! You got a head start!"
It was another promising day full of adventure. Me and my best buddy Tails decided to race through Mystic Ruins for practice. The kid tries so hard, and I got to hand it to him for that, but nothing beats the fastest thing alive! I was leading him by miles when all of a sudden I spotted a flash of pink.
"Oh no, it's Amy," I thought. "I'd better run!"
I skidded to a halt and ran for cover. Sure, I was so close to the finish line, but it was worth throwing the race just to get away from her. She's crazy, I tell ya.
"Hey Sonic, I won!" Tails exclaimed off in the distance. "Sonic? Where did you go?"
I met up with Tails later that day in Central City. Boy, did I have some explaining to do. Could be worse. I could have met Amy's hammer instead.
"Hey there, Sonic," greeted Tails. "Why did you just run off like that? You were so close to winning!"
"Um…," I stuttered. "Didn't you see Amy over there?"
"Amy?" Tails replied quizzically. "Oh, she was ready to congratulate you!"
"Exactly, Tails! She could be chasing me for hours!"
"Sonic, we've faced so many scary monsters and machines over our adventures and she's the one you're afraid of? I don't get it. She's a nice girl, isn't she?"
"Yeah, I guess," I said hesitantly.
Tails looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"We've all been through so much together, and that is all you can say?"
I thought about what Tails said. All I could remember was that Amy always followed me hoping that I'd agree to marry her or something like that. Looking back, she was kind of annoying. And yet, I sort of enjoyed having her around. Why? She's just a regular girl that happens to be creepily obsessed with me, that's all.
Suddenly, a scene flashed before me…
We were aboard the Egg Carrier fighting off one of Eggman's robots as usual. Just as I was about to finish it off, I heard a voice.
"Please stop!" Amy screamed as she rushed to defend it.
"Amy, that's one of Eggman's clunkers!" I yelled. "Outta my way!"
"No!" she cried. "He helped me before by letting me escape. This robot is different. You don't need to hurt him, okay?"
I was shocked. It seemed like just another hunk of metal, yet Amy was defending it like a dear friend. Such caring…and she'd do so much more for me, wouldn't she?
"I really don't know much about her, do I?" I said out loud before I realized it.
Tails smiled. What was going on? It's not like I like her back or anything. Not that I don't care for her, it's just….
"Hey, Sonic," Tails interrupted. "Want to meet in Star Light Park later? That place has something special going on tonight."
I knew something was up, but I agreed anyways. We're best buds, after all.
"Sure."
"Great!" exclaimed Tails. "It'll be fun! Trust me! Anyways, see ya!"
As he flew off, I wondered, "What have I gotten myself into?"
