Sonic

I ran. I ran for no reason at all, but when I run, all the complicated emotions and thoughts of her, would completely leave my mind. All, but now that is, as I stopped to gaze at the sunset disappearing over the sparkling ocean. "Amy Rose…" I mumbled as the images of her seemed to appear in the sky, and looked down trying to avoid her eyes, as if she were actually there.

Impulsively, my legs urged to take off again, but my heart lingered to stay, hoping to once again hear the sweet voice that replayed itself over and over again in my mind. "Sonic…" I turned around, hearing her, but she wasn't there. Secretly, I missed the spark in her eyes when she saw me, the playful hugs that always made me smile, but most of all, I missed the person I care about the most.

I silently walked along the shoreline, whipping around every minute in hope to see her bright face. No, she was gone…but where?

Knuckles

"Knuckles likes Rouge!" Tails said playfully as we walked silently down the street. I decided to ignore him, and kept walking as if the statement meant nothing to me. "You know you like her!" The young fox said as he tried to keep up with me. He must have gotten frustrated, because he decided to yell it to the whole city. "Knuckles likes Rouge!" He burst out and everyone around us stared in confusion.

Anger filled my heart as the fox looked at me with a smug look on his face. I need to think of something to say so I don't look incredibly stupid! I don't know where the words came from, but in a second I was yelling words I would soon regret forever. "I WILL NEVER LOVE ROUGE! SHE IS NOTHING TO ME!" Tails gasped in horror but turned around to hear a soft crying noise. "Rouge…" I whispered as I saw a bat figure appear around the corner. "No I didn't mean it!" I desperately cried out as she flew away with tears in her eyes. What have I done? Tails silently walked away, shaking his head in disbelief, and I stood alone in a street corner.

"You idiot!" I yelled as I slammed my fists into the wall, nearly creating a hole in it. "Why did I say that? I wasn't angry now at anyone but myself. She probably hates me now, but I still- I looked and felt my face turn as hot as lava. I can't even admit how I feel to myself, let alone Rouge. "Rouge…" I winced as I remembered the last look she gave me. The last shocked and hurt expression that made me melt.

How had my fear become anger? I hadn't meant to say it, but it just came out. Those hurtful words weren't even the real me…more just a cover-up for my true emotions. Then it hit me…I can still fix this, but it won't be easy. I need to find Rouge and tell her everything. Even those three dreaded words that I lacked any courage to say to her. I took of and nothing else mattered. I will find Rouge.

Amy

"Where am I?" I got up and looked around, but there was only dense forest surrounding me. The last thing I remember was Sonic and I fighting a strange robot, and getting knocked unconscious by it. "Sonic?" I called out in despair, hoping to see my beloved blue blur, but no one was there. Disappointed and unbelievably scared, I started walking towards the trees, hoping that someone was around. Where is everyone? Why am I alone? Questions slammed into my head as I made my way through this strange place.

It seemed as though the forest never ended, and by the time I decided to head back, I was too far off. As the darkness crept over the evening sky, I sat on a tree stump, hoping to be found. Then, in that moment, I finally realized the horrible truth. I was alone. And lost.

Rouge

"I WILL NEVER LOVE ROUGE! SHE IS NOTHING TO ME!" Knuckles' painful words ripped my heart apart. How could he say that? "That Knucklehead!" I tried to yell, but it came out as only a mere whisper. I looked up at the dark, cloudy sky and wondering if I could ever feel any worse. As if on cue, it started raining hard, but at this point, I didn't even care. What was wrong with me? It was just Knuckles.

Just Knuckles…I silently started to cry. No, he wasn't just Knuckles to me.. Suddenly a loud gunshot broke my train of thought. There was some strange robot here with me….wherever I was. The robot glared its red eyes at me and violently started shooting at me. I quickly tried to fly away, but he grabbed me tightly in his metal hand. "Knuckles!" I yelled out in fear, but remembered that he probably wouldn't want to save me anyways. I was doomed.
