Two-Shot title: "Given challenges equals lovely opportunities"

...

Another day in Station Square, full of clear weather, busy streets, busy people, and Amy chasing Sonic. The civilians ignored the speedy hero and pink hedgehog as they zoomed past stores, cafes, malls, and through streets. This was the usual. Some people said Amy should just give up, some others persuaded her to not give up. It was an equal vote.

"SONIC! Wait up!" Amy called out to the blue hedgehog. Only to get ignored. The two hedgehogs still ran, Sonic glancing behind him every minute or so. Amy took notice of him slowing down whenever she was far on his tail. This was not fair.

"Soooonic! C'mon! I want to talk to you about something!" Amy pleaded, panting and picking up the pace. Sonic came to a sudden stop, causing Amy to grab the brakes in her knees. She ended up smashing her face into his chest. The pink hedgehog wrapped her arms around Sonic tightly cutting off his air supply for a quick second. "Caught you Sonic!" Amy smiled into his furry chest. She loosened her hold and took a step back. Sonic's face was a little bit red from not breathing any air (for that one second).

"Whaddya want Amy?" Sonic asked, crossing his arms and tapping his foot impatiently. He may have been frowning on the outside but Amy knew he was secretly grinning on the inside.

"I was wondering-and no, I'm not going to ask you to marry me so please don't run away!" Amy quickly said. "You know about your trip to Clary city coming up?"

Sonic remembered Tails mentioning something about Clary city. It was a place for talented mobians and humans. The landscapes were a sight and the people there were very kind, Eggman could have targeted that place since it seemed easy.

Sonic nodded, replying. "What about it?"

"Can I come with you?" Amy asked, clasping her hands together and bringing herself up close to the blue hedgehog's face. Sonic reacted by taking a step backwards, considering the girl's question.

"Why would you want to go to Clary City?"

"Because... Er..." Amy hesitated to answer, she poked her fingers together with a thoughtful look on her face. "Because I just want to be with you." She breathed out, smiling sweetly at Sonic. Who blushed slightly at her cuteness.

"But that isn't a reason, Amy." said Sonic.

"Then what reason is there to keep me from you, Sonic?" Amy retorted, "Besides! What's the worse that could happen?"

"Egghead could attack again...?" Sonic suggested.

"Soooonic, I can protect myself now! Stop treating me like a child-" Before Sonic could comment, Amy beat him to the first word. "DON'T call me a child just because I act like one. I know this! Geez..."

Sonic stared at her in shock, he wasn't expecting Amy to give him a full ready talk. 'Heck, just give the girl what she wants.' Sonic thought to himself. He sighed, shrugging. "Alright, alright. You can come BUT," Sonic paused. "you have to NOT chase me or tackle me or hug me or ask me for dates for one full day. If you complete this challenge, I'll let you tag along."

Amy nodded, jade eyes twinkling. All she had to do was avoid Sonic or just act normal. Not be his stalker or fangirl for one day! It sounded easy but could she really pull it off? The pink hedgehog wondered to herself.

"Okay Sonikku, I'll take your challenge. If I win, I tag along, if you lose..." Amy trailed off.

Sonic boringly stared at Amy, waiting for her to just say, "take me out on a date" or "marry me" and other stuff like that.

"Just spend a full day with me." Amy smiled at Sonic. There was a confused look on his face, this sounded like a date but was it?

"A full day with you? Don't I spend my time with you everyday?"

Amy shook her head then replied, "that's because I spend my OWN time trying to catch your attention while you run away from me. It's a daily routine Sonic. I do it because I love you."

The blue hedgehog was astonished, he thought Amy was a blind girl all this time but she knew about it? There was more to her than he thought. His face flushed at her statement, so that meant...

"Wait, wait. So you KNOW that I purposely miss our dates?"

"Yep," Amy stated bluntly, "That hurts, Sonic the Hedgehog. You want to know why I want to marry you?"

"If it helps me understand you better, then yea." Sonic put his gloved hand to his hip. Amy crossed her arms, she narrowed her eyes at him. "It's just part of the whole reputation."

Sonic's lime emerald eyes widened. "Seriously?"

Amy stood in silence for a few seconds before that sweet laugh erupted from her mouth. Sonic was taken back from her sudden fit of giggles. "You actually fell for that?" Amy said between giggles. Sonic glared at her, puffing out his cheeks. "N-No, I can tell when a friend is lying or not." He pouted.

"So you DO think of me as a friend!" Amy's smiled widened, her cheeks were turning pink.

"The townspeople call me your overly obsessed fan-girl."

Sonic smiled awkwardly, rubbing his nose. "Really now? Amy, you ARE one of my friends. I'm pretty chill with you."

Amy stared at him with a broad smile, her eyes sparkling even more than before. "That means so much to me, Sonic. You never say things like that so... you DO like me!" She tackled Sonic once again, and panic rose in the blue hedgehog. He and Amy fell to the ground, cheeks crimson.

"Woah Amy! Stop doing that out of the blue just because I'm blue!"

"Heeheehee, sorry." Amy said and apologetically looked up at Sonic as she pulled away from him quickly. "Were you...blushing?"

The blue hero opened his mouth to reply but only rolled his eyes. He shook his head slowly, the red from his cheeks fading away. "No, I wouldn't be blushing over a simple hug. Well, anyway, remember our challenge. I gotta jet."

"Aw, Tails needs help again?" Amy asked.

"Yea. Seeya Amy!" Sonic zoomed away after that leaving Amy by herself. She looked around to feel heat rise to her cheeks. It seemed she chased Sonic all the way to the coast. Luckily it was still morning for her. And no one was staring at her like a crazy person.

But at least she can get to hang out with Sonic all day tomorrow-

"Not tomorrow. Tomorrow tomorrow...tomorrow?" Amy questioned herself, poking her chin. "I have to avoid Sonic for a full day but if I chase him...? Today?"

Thoughts sped through Amy's mind like a breeze, and so did the time. The pink hedgehog gasped when afternoon had come. Scolding herself, she ran home.

...

Amy laid sprawled out on her bed, she had changed into a tank top and shorts. 'Should I call Cream? No, she said she would be tending to the chao gardens. Vanilla said she would be available to call but... something trivial as a simple challenge might be buggy. Maybe Blaze...? I haven't heard from her in a while but is she still traveling with Silver? I don't know, the two are so cute together! Everyone is so busy today.' Amy sighed, shifting away from her thoughts.

"Argh! I'm so lonely..."

Suddenly, an idea struck Amy, and she leaped up from her bed, grasping a brush and several different-colored tubes to paint. When she was not chasing Sonic around, the pink hedgehog would usually paint things. It was a hobby of hers aside from knitting and baking. (Which her finished creations would end up being given to Sonic.)

What should will you create today? Amy's inner mind question her. She was out in her front yard with painting materials in hand. It was a little before evening, so she still had time.

The canvas stood plain in front of Amy, she closed her eyes trying to imagine something. Something creative.

Amy dipped her brush into the red paint, she drove it across the canvas slowly. A bright red line.

"That's not what it's all gonna be," The pink hedgehog murmured with a joyful grin. She continued painting, mixing bright colors into dark ones. The canvas was a beautiful scene of landscapes merging together. Three scenes faded into another, all going down.

The first level being the lightest of colors, like the painted clouds with yellow streaks of light shining through. Pillars of silver rose from above the clouds, there was a painted white hedgehog with a beautiful white dress and angelic feathery wings. Her long quills cascaded down to her waist, curling her face. The hedgehog was smiling gently. Amy pictured this heavenly woman as her mother, whom she missed dearly.

The second level matched a flower filled field, the streaks of yellow faded into a light blue. In the background stood a tall tree with branches so long and thick and, flowers rested on them flowing with the wind. Amy had painted a small pond as well with a young dark pink hedgehog who was dressed in red and dancing with a flower laurel crowned on her head. There was another hedgehog but a little shorter and the shade lighter, almost matching Amy's. She was wearing a velvet dress with a flower crown also, joining the other hedgehog in her dance. Amy pictured these two as her missing sisters, forgotten but remembered.

The third level was completely dark red resembling blood almost, which Amy pictured as a dark hell hidden underneath the planet's soil. The dark green grass from the flower field had faded to brown then to a deep dark red. Bubbling lava filled the end of the canvas with rigid rocks sticking out of the lake of flame. In the center stood a dark red hedgehog; he looked old but still kept his youth. Amy imagined this as her own father, her deceased father.

Smiling at her creation, Amy wiped her forehead. She brushed her three bangs back as they fell back in place once again. "I don't remember my family but this is all I got."

...

The next morning, Amy woke up bright and happy. The trip to Clary City would be in a few days and the challenge started now. No clinging onto Sonic or attempting to catch his heart again. 'Just be casual and carefree.' Amy thought. She looked in the mirror, twirling around in her daily red dress. Sometimes it would be a pain with her skirt flipping upwards all the time but it was the usual.

Today is not the usual.

Amy frowned at her appearance and scolded herself. She went over to her wardrobe and opened it. Amy brought out a purple strap top with jean shorts that flared out. She changed into the new clothing and slipped on a pair of light lilac stockings. Amy kept her signature red headband and bright red "go-go" boots.

She smiled at herself in the mirror. "Better!" Amy chirped, skipping out of her room. She slipped a light marmalade colored bag over her shoulder and exited the house. It would be a nice day to go shopping.

...

Amy strolled along the crowd of bustling people. Teenagers, adults, children, families were all around. Shopping or not shopping, Station Square Mall was a delight. "Shop til' you drop!" Amy hummed. She looked around for a suitable store to browse at until she heard a familiar voice.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Amy Rose." A smooth voice called behind her.

"Rouge?" Amy spun around meeting a curvy white bat. Rouge's sapphire eyes shined mischievously as she met Amy's bright ones.

"It seems you've changed your look... nice." Rouge smirked, bringing a hand up to her hip.

Amy resisted the urge to glare at the woman, instead she smiled. "Thank you, Rouge! You look pretty yourself."

"Thanks for the compliment. By the way, aren't you supposed to be after Sonic?"

"And aren't you supposed to be after the Master Emerald?" Amy shot back sharply, narrowing her eyes at the bat.

Rouge only gave her a shrug. "I already have earlier. Knuckie is still stubborn as always," She said, laughing.

Amy frowned at Rouge's response. She knew Rouge was well... complicated in a way. That was why Amy intended to avoid the bat. But she wouldn't let her have Sonic either.

"Knuckles can be nice sometimes!" Amy declared, sticking up for her friend. "It's just he's... he's just Knuckles. You can't blame the way he is."

Rouge's carefree expression turned into a playful one. "My, have you fallen for him?"

"No!"

Rouge laughed again at Amy's reaction. "Relax, I'm just messing with you."

"Anyways, what are you doing here? Don't you have missions to do with Shadow?" Amy asked.

"Ugh, all that work. I've been practically moving around for 10 months. I just wanted to take a small vacation." Rouge simply answered, sighing. Even though Amy disliked the bat, the fact that Rouge has been doing more work than her made Amy feel sympathy towards her. If she was in Rouge's heels, it'd be pretty annoying flying around.

"That sounds awful!" Amy said pitifully, "Do you want to shop with me?"

Rouge smiled at the pink hedgehog and her offer. "Better than being alone."

...
