Cream: 13

Tails: 14

Knuckles: 20

Rouge: 21

Amy giggled seeing Cream blush as Tails gave her a chocolate heart, he blushed more laughing nervously scratching the back of his head nervously at Cream's giggle. The truth was that he really liked Cream the rabbit, ever since they met at a very young age, there was something that made Tails feel good being around her, maybe it was her smile, her eyes, her smile? He really didn't know but now was the time he would confess his feelings to the cute and sweet rabbit. Cream looked nervously at Amy seeking some help but the pink hedgehog smiled and shrugged, it was really up to Cream if she accepeted the chocolate and date Tails proposed.

"Ah, su-sure Tails and thans fo-for this chocolate..." Cream grabbed the chocolate.

Tails laughed once more nervously and shrugged, "It was nothing really, um, let's get going then."

He held out his arm to let her wrap her arm around his, Cream blushed once more. She looked back at Amy making sure she didn't mind abondoning her friend, Amy simply made a gesture telling them to go! Both left, Amy smiled once more, it was really a cute thing what happened. She sighed getting up deciding what she would do with the rest of her afternoon, after all they had planned to go take a walk but she didn't mind this sudden date. After walking aimlessly around her hometown, she saw Shadow sitting down on a bench in a park Amy was in.

Shadow saw her and tilted a bit his head sideways, Amy smiled warmly walking up to him, not long ago did they become really good friends, though he didn't talk much he enjoyed her company. He felt a bit alone sometimes, cold in his soul, dark in his thoughts and Amy was the perfect person to forget all about that. Amy enjoyed his company because he would listen to anything she would say, her feelings, problems, funny stories about her past. It was really a weird but good friendship.

"Hey Shads, what are you thinking about?" Amy sat down beside him putting her head on his shoulder. Shadow shrugged.

"Just relaxing really. What about you? What are you doing alone? I told you to never be alone, especially since it's been getting more dangerous in this damned town."

Amy chuckled, Shadow to her was a big brother, and what he said was true, ever since Eggman suddenly disappeared, there has been more crime than ever. More serious crimes, there have been a lot of murders and robberies. It was all too much for this town but everybody keeps trying not to panic.

"Oh calm down, I was with Cream but she had to leave. I'm with you know aren't I?" She grinned.

"OK ok but next time call or something, I don't want to waste energies on wasting my time saving you." Shadow said cracking a smile.

Amy rolled her eyes, "Very funny Shads."

After having a long chat, both realized it was getting darker which meant it was time to go. Shadow being a gentleman escorted Amy to her house making sure she got there safely. After that, he left leaving Amy alone, she sighed waling up her stairs to her room. For a while now, she's been feeling down, something didn't feel right inside her, something broke but doesn't know how to repair it. There was a hole in her that she couldn't quit fill... Ever since she locked up her heart, her feelings about Sonic, something wasn't quite the same.

Amy was 13 years old and Sonic was 15, she was still crazy over him, the strangling fangirl proclaiming she was his girlfriend. Sonic was quietly taking a nap somewhere in the open grassy area, he was really fond of nature since everything was in the open air, fresh! Free just like him...His ears perked up as he heard the sound of rushed footsteps coming near him, he quietly growled knowing who it was. Amy giggled as she sat next to him giving a kiss on his forehead, Sonic rolled his eyes getting real tired of her girlish ways. This was not something Sonic was fond of, patience was something he didn't have, Amy's fangirl attitude was really getting him irritated, more than ever.

"Gosh Sonic, this is a really pretty place to relax huh?"

Sonic simply nodded closing his eyes again trying to ignore her. Amy bit her lip trying to find a subject to talk about, "Um, you know, we can go over to my house, I'll make you something to eat!" Her heart beat fast hopeful that he would say yes but there no answer. Amy gulped, "Or maybe we could you know, get some ice cream at the park..." Again no answer.

"Sonic wake up! I'm talking to you!" She poked Sonic's head. He gritted his teeth, he got up quickly looking really annoyed. Amy tilted her heard a bit not understanding what was going on.

"Amy please, can't you give me a break? I mean, you're always breathing down my neck! I-I need my space, you know? You're sweet and all but c'mon, I hate it when you are always coming after me!"

Her eyes widened at this, her heart beat real fast, this is something she didn't want to provoke. Especially on him since he was everything to him, "Bu-but Sonic, I...I do it because I love you, and because every time I ask you out on a date you never say 'yes' to me! I-I have to go chasing after you just to...To make you look at me."

Sonic rolled his eyes yet again, "When are you ever going to get it in you head I DON'T LOVE YOU! I haven't said 'yes' to any date of yours because you are crazy! C'mon Ames, I like you but not that way. Anyways, I already have someone in mind and it's not you. Sorry."

Sonic shrugged leaving Amy heartbroken. She simply watched him run away, like always. Tears welled up in her eyes, she felt something cold in her chest striking at her heart. It felt like an ice cube slowly going from her heart to the bottom of her stomach, she winced at the pain. She couldn't take it anymore and started to cry, her hands covered her face while she wept at the hurtful words Sonic had said and most importantly, the fact that Sonic was thinking of another girl, that his heart beat twice over another and she knew who it was... Sally Acorn, of course Amy denied the suspicious idea, it hurt her too much but now that Sonic confirmed it, Amy could feel her heart and soul tear apart bit by bit.

From that moment on, something changed, her feelings were never the same. She completely shut down her love for him burying everything related to him. It took her some time to look at him, think about him or even stay in the same room with him, she decided to get away, not be in his social group. It simply hurt, even to this day it kept hurting but now she knew how to hide her sadness. Their friendship ended and now they only see each other on some occasions.

Amy gulped down the urge to cry, she really needed someone right now, somebody to hug her, to tell her that everything would be ok, unfortunately no one come to her that night, she would go to bed repeating Sonic's words replaying in her head...
