Chapter One: Running Different Directions
Just like any other adventure-filled day, Sonic saved Mobius from peril by defeating the mad scientist Dr. Eggman from his 'latest' creations. The blue hedgehog speed away from Dr. Eggman's lair as it exploded behind him, leaving nothing but rumble and nuts and bolts raining down to the ground. The only thing that rang in his ears was the raspy angry voice of Dr. Eggman yelling out, "CURSE YOU SONIC! I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME!"
A cocky smirk appeared on Sonic's face as he let out a few rounds of laughter, shouting back, "WHATEVER YOU SAY EGGHEAD!"
The sound of Eggman's frustration commenced as it quickly became nothing more than a sound of bees buzzing as Sonic ran far away from Eggman's premises, heading towards a safe location. Within seconds he managed to place his running to a halt as he was face to face with his friends. A big heroic smile appeared on his face as he took a bow, only to be greeted with a painful punch to the left arm by a red echidna named Knuckles.
"You did it once again, Sonic." Stated Knuckles as he chuckled.
"Yeah… I know but easy on the punch, Knux." Sonic responded as he looked over to a yellow fox, "Tails! I've been wanting to talk to you."
In the background you heard an irritated sigh from the black and red hedgehog before bluntly stating, "He's being all too worried about a certain pink rat popping out of nowhere."
"Hey! Shut up Faker!" Sonic yelled as he ushered Tails out of the scenery, wanting a private conversation.
"I only state what's true and the name is Shadow damn it." He stated as he looked over at a white bat in front of him, "Rouge, that's our cue. Let's go and give the two children their privacy."
Rouge rose an eyebrow as she started to be a flirt towards him, showing off her 'best features' with her usual apparel, "Aww…Shadz, can't we just go on a date like normal people?"
Shadow was getting even more irritated as he gave a simple slap to her rear end as he whispered into her ear, "Don't push it. Let's go."
As Shadow, Rouge and Knuckles left the premises, Sonic looked over at Tails and sighed softly, only to pace around in worry. Tails watched him as he questioned, "Let me guess, you don't want Amy come running after you again for saving 'her' from danger."
"Yes…and I'm not going to lie either, Tails. I'm highly annoyed with her chasing me. It's so bad that I get nightmares of her chasing me forever. Why can't she get the hint that I don't like her the way she thinks I do." Sonic answered as he leaned his back against a tree, his hands shaking, "I don't want to yell at her just because of that…there's other things that can be worse than that…"
"I understand bro," Tails added as he scratched behind his left ear, "Why not just go someplace where you know that you know that Amy won't dare go into? I heard that Casino Night is very strict with young ones heading into their city, trust me… heh… I tried."
Sonic chuckled as he ruffled Tails' hair with his left hand, "Trying to be a rebel like me? That's a bad road to go into, you know. But that is a good idea, though. Man, I haven't had a vacation in a long time, especially dealing with Eggheads weak and wacky inventions." He paused as he pondered on the thought for a bit, "You would call me if something bad goes down, right Tails?"
"Of course, Sonic. I wouldn't leave you out in any details." Tails replied as he gave him a simple thumbs, "You can trust me."
Sonic gave him a thumbs up back, laughing a bit before hearing a female voice in the background, screaming, "SONIKKU! WHERE ARE YOU?! I WANT TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION FOR SAVING ME!"
"Crap! I better get moving!" Sonic stated in full panic as he bolted out the area, yelling out, "I'LL SEE YOU WHEN I COME BACK TAILS!"
"SONIC?! SONIKKU! COME OVER TO ME!" Amy screamed as ran faster, trying to get to Sonic.
"AMY! BACK OFF WILL YA?!" Sonic shouted back as he was getting close to use the 'Sonic Boom' just to escape from her, "I'M LEAVING FOR A FEW WEEKS!"
"TAKE ME WITH YOU!" She replied with a joyful tone in her voice, not giving up from her chase to get him in her grasp.
'Oh for the love of chili dogs….' Sonic thought to himself as he had no choice but to go faster, leaving nothing behind but the sound of a legit sonic boom.
The huge gust of winds managed to mess up Amy's running; making her trip and fall to the ground. She punched the ground as she looked in front of her, nothing that Sonic was no longer in her sight. She growled under her breath, punching the ground for a final time before mumbling under her breath, "Darn it, darn it, DARN IT! I was really hoping to get Sonic's attention today." She paused, getting herself up from the ground and dusted her red dress and boots off, "I'm not going to give up just yet!"
As if she wasn't even effected from the fall, she went back to running; trying to reach to Sonic's new location. Sonic took a deep breath, feeling as if he lost Amy for now as he gradually slowed himself down a tad. He looked directly forward, hoping to hit the zone line to Casino Night, only to find himself collide into a large mass that bulleted towards. It knocked him off the road and rolled downhill, with the mass rolling right behind him. Once his body came to a stop, he slowly rose his head, mumbling, "What the hell was tha- OOF!'
Before he could even finish his question, the large mass fell on top of him, taking the breath out of him as he slammed the back of his head to the ground. The large mass, which was on his chest, let out a feminine gasp as she slowly rose up from the fall. She hissed in pain as she held her head, "What the fuck were you thinking, you speed demon?"
"Huh…?" Sonic said, feeling rather confused as he looked over to where he heard the voice.
Before him he saw an ash grey colored female hedgehog with long black hair; her bangs covering most of the right side of her face. Her light blue eyes shined like tiny topaz gems as she stood in the sunlight. She wore what could be mistaken as a dominatrix black top with a pair of black ripped up shorts with chains for a belt, a pair of black combat boots with red straps, black fingerless gloves and a pair of red goggles on her head. To him, it was like a beautiful angel has fell down from heaven and into his sights, but he kept those feeling deep within his heart; avoiding any misunderstandings. He cleared his throat as he slowly got up on his feet, stating, "I'm terribly for running into you like that. May I ask why were you running in a different direction?"
"Ugh…" stated the grey hedgehog, "I just wanted to get away from my problems… one being a person in particular. Gah I can't stand people!"
"I hear that." He replied, chuckling to himself before hearing a distant screaming of Amy in the background, growing louder by the second, 'Ah crap…'
"I'm getting really tired of people trying to chase me down just to get my atten-…" she stated before interrupted with an unexpected kiss to the lips.
Sonic held her frame close as he continued to kiss the female, trying to make it convincing as possible while looking over at the street. In his gaze, he watched Amy continue to run, looking around until she stopped and felt stunned. She literally spotted Sonic kissing on another woman and Sonic knew that it broke her heart. Afterwards, he watched her run away with tears in her eyes which made him feel regret; but he had no choice. He slowly stopped kissing the female and stepped away; rubbing the back of his head as he spoke in a nervous tone, "U-Uh… sorry about that… I don't normally act that out of impulse."
Steam began to form over the female hedgehog's head as she said in an angry tone, "Oh really? Is that so…" she paused as she cracked her knuckles, "Want to prove your innocence, you filthy blue rat?!"
"He-Hey! I said I was sorry! I was running away from someone too!" he exclaimed as he braced himself for impact, "I had to make you a distraction… I seriously didn't mean to do that, I SWEAR!"
She then darkly laughed few times before taking a deep breath, "I'll let this slide… for now. But if it happens again, I won't be afraid to beat you to into a pulp."
He gulped a bit as he extended his hand out to her, "Thanks for sparing my life uh… what's your name?"
She grasped onto his hand and gave him a firm grip and shake, "Ashe. Just call me Ashe."
