A/N- Hello, and welcome to my new story. First off I want to give a little background information. Like the summary said this story takes place after Sonic Generations. So that means Sonic is going to be 20 in this story. And since, according to the Wiki, Amy is three years younger than Sonic she's 17. Everyone else's ages are scaled accordingly. Also, the events of Sonic '06 didn't happen because at the end of that game it erases everything that happened from the timeline. That fact will become important later in the story. One last thing, most of my information comes from the games and Sonic X, and not so much the comics, just thought I'd let you know that. Hope you enjoy the story.
The Blue Blur Slows Down Chapter 1
Sonic POV
"Amy, will you marry me?" You may be wondering how I, Sonic the Hedgehog, the Blue Blur and the fastest thing alive, got into this situation. To tell you the truth, the events went by so fast not even I could catch up. I guess I should start from the beginning. I had just beaten the Time Eater and sent my younger self back to his time. I enjoyed the rest of my birthday party, but the next morning something hit me. I didn't know what was going to happen next in my life. You see, with all the time travel stuff that happened, I actually witnessed the events of my last adventure twice. This also told me that me and my friends would be fine until after those events. That's why I was always so carefree, I knew I would be fine. After realizing this I started doing less and less dangerous things, to the point that I barely left my house anymore. I even had Tails make me some clothes that wouldn't wear out for extra protection. It was about a month later when Knuckles called me out of the blue.
"Hello." I said since I don't have caller ID.
"Hey Sonic, it's me Knuckles."
"What's up?"
"Well, I finally got that basketball court next to the Master Emerald installed and I was wondering if you wanted to come over for a game."
"Anyone else going to be there?"
"Yeah, I invited Tails and Vector too."
"Okay, be there in a flash." And true to my word I was on Angel Island within two minutes.
"Tsk, two minutes Sonic? I think you're losing it." Knuckles said as I strolled up. He wasn't completely wrong, I had been purposely running slower lately.
"Still faster than you." I said trying my best to not give anything away.
"What have you been up to Sonic?" Tails asked me walking up.
"Oh, you know, stuff."
"Oookay then. Oh look, there's Vector."
"Hey guys, long time no see." Vector greeted us. "I hope you don't mind but I ran into Amy on my way here and she wanted to come."
"Then where is she?" I asked.
"She said something about going home to get something first."
"Okay. Hey, you get any good cases lately?"
"Oh, nothing too big, just some guy trying to sell fake Chaos Emeralds."
"Yeah, I could see that, since I still have the seven real ones."
"About that," Knuckles started. "no super forms during the game."
"You don't have to worry about that, they don't have much power at the moment." After I said that we started playing. I had Tails on my side which put Knuckles and Vector together. Surprisingly, we had some close games, especially since Vector called no flying for Tails. After about the third game I heard someone saying my name. I looked over and saw Amy in a cheerleading outfit and pom-poms.
"GO SOINC, Make the basket! GO SONIC, Win the game!"
"Looks like Amy is here." Knuckles said. I didn't say anything. "Hello, Mobius to Sonic, do you read?" Knuckles was waving his hand in front of my face.
"Sorry," I said shaking my head, "just got distracted."
"Well, anyway, you want to start a new game? We can switch teams."
"Maybe in a bit. I want to go talk to Amy." And as I walked towards her Tails gave me a thumbs up. He knew what I was thinking. You see, along with knowing we we're going to be fine, Tails and I had to act like our older selves so we didn't mess up the timeline. Tails knew that I had always kind of liked Amy, but since I saw my older self look not interested there wasn't anything I could do about it. Anyway, when I got close to her I tapped her on the shoulder so she would turn around. She spun around and lifted up her hammer. On a side note, I have no idea where that thing comes from. She was about to hit me when she realized who I was.
"Oh, sorry Sonic. Can't be too careful you know." She said with a slight blush.
"No worries, you've hit me with it before and I lived."
"True. So why are you over here?"
"I just wanted to talk to you. Nice costume by the way." She blushed some more.
"Aw, it's nothing." She said kicking some dirt.
"Well, I think you look good in it. Anyway, I wanted to ask you if you would like to go to lunch with me tomorrow to catch up."
"You mean like a date?"
"You could call it that."
"I would love to." She said giving me a huge hug. I stalled for a second, probably because of all the other times I had to restrain myself, but I wrapped my arms around her too.
"So, is noon at the coffee shop okay?"
"You bet."
A/N- I want to say a few more things down here. First, my updating schedule. I usually update Monday, Wednesday, and Friday about 8AM EST. I am very regular on this and will say a chapter in advance if anything changes. Second, I'm a guy. It took three months for my other fans to catch on and I want to get the 'OMG you're a guy' comments out of the way. Lastly, I love anonymous reviews. Just because you don't feel comfortable about having an account or don't have an E-mail doesn't mean you can't put your two cents in. Just be warned, I do not pay any attention to meaningless flames that have no actual criticism in them. That's about it. 40 days until Sonic Adventure 2 is released for Xbox Live. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
