It is Christmas Eve! A time when the street is full of joy, the little children excited for presents, and the whole family gets together! It is my favorite time of the year, because it is such a wonderful holiday! Tails had an amazing idea of making a Christmas party for all of us, and everyone is excited for it. Especially Tails, because Cream is coming here from college. We haven't seen her for a whole year and now that she is coming back, Tails can't wait to see her, as well as all of us. Right now, I'm at the central mall, buying all the gifts for each of my friends. For Knuckles, I bought a new pair of boxing gloves that I know he will love, for Rouge I bought her that new set of makeup she wanted, for Tails I bought him a new pair of shoes, for Shadow I bought him a new jacket, and for Cream I decided to knit her a lovely sweater. It might not be the best sweater, since I don't have that much experience with knitting, but is not that bad either. I know she will love it anyway. And as for Sonic... I still don't know what to get him.. I could buy anything, but I want it to be something special and meaningful. A gift that can make it memorable.. But I just don't know what could it be. Besides, every time I gave him gifts, he would always put it aside and never look at it again. I bet that's what he always does, since he always ignores me or runs away from me every time I try to talk to him. He doesn't like me, does he? What did I ever do wrong? Why does he have to always ignore me? All I ever wanted was his love. A strange noise interrupted my thoughts and made me jump. It was my phone. I got it out of my pocket and picked it up.

"Hello?" I said.

"Amy, where are you?" The voice said. It was Tails.

"Oh, I am still at the mall, why?" I said now looking around me. I was sitting down on a bench and staring at the thousands of people walking by.

"You are still buying gifts?"

"Yeah look the thing is that I've been searching for what kind of gift I should give to Sonic but I just don't know what."

"Well, I hope you hurry because the party is almost about to start."

"Wait, what?" I said while looking at my watch. Tails was right, it was almost going to be 8:00PM and I haven't even dressed yet! I might be late!

"We might start a little late though because first I have to pick up Cream from the airport. I don't know how long is going to take since the flight could get delayed from the snow."

"Oh.. Well I better get dressed then.. I just hope I can find something for Sonic."

"Don't worry, I'm sure that whatever you will give him he will like it."

"Thanks Tails, see you later then. Bye"

I closed the phone, picked all the gifts I bought and stood up. But as I was walking, something caught my attention. I stopped and walked backwards. I stopped in front of a window. In it, I saw a clothing manniquin with a necklace. I went inside and got close to the manniquin to see the necklace. It was shaped as a heart. I holded it for a minute, then I noticed it had a little button at the corner of the heart. I touched it, and the heart broke apart in half. I was amazed for a second, then I see that it opened, and inside was an empty space to put a picture. This is perfect! I found the perfect gift to Sonic! I just wonder how much it might cost. I saw an employer pass by, so I stepped down from the manniquin and took the necklace.

"Excuse me sir, how much does this necklace cost?" I said showing him the necklace.

"Oh I'm sorry ma'am, but those are all over. They were all bought."

"What? Well let me buy this one."

"I'm sorry but I can't. That one is not for sale, that one is just to model on the manniquin."

"You can't be serious. Please I need this. It's Christmas Eve and this is the gift I was looking for all along!"

"I wish I could help you but I can't. It's not me, is the rules and I can't go against it, or else I'll get fired."

"Look you have no idea how much this means to me. I can give you whatever you want, I swear! I can give you whatever amount of money or anything else just please, please let me buy it!"

"What's going on here?" I heard someone else say that.

I turned around and saw another man walking toward us.

"Boss, this lady wants to buy this necklace but I'm telling her that one is not for sale."

The yellow dog looked at me sternly and said: "Lady, I will ask you to get out of this store immediately."

"No please just listen to what I have to say. I've been searching the whole day for the perfect gift for this special person and you have no idea how much this means to me."

"Wuao. That person sure does sound important to you."

"It is. So can I please buy it?"

The yellow dog sighed and said: "Well... Why not?"

"Yes! Thank you so much sir!" I said hugging him.

"But sir do you think you can do this? It is against the rules." The employer said.

"It's Christmas eve! I'm sure selling this little thing for one day won't hurt." The yellow dog said.

The employer shrugged and said: "Okay, if you say so boss."

A while later...

As I was driving, I saw a blue flash by on the street. That must be Sonic! I quickly parked my car and took the gift. I looked to see if Sonic was still here, and he is. He is sitting under the tree of the park. I smiled and ran to him.

"Sonic!"

Sonic slowly turned his head around and as soon as he saw me, he turned his head again. Now I'm next to him. I hid the present on my back, and said:

"Hi, Sonic"

"What now Amy? I'm not really on the mood right now." He said laying down on the grass.

"I've got a present for you! And I know you're going to like it!" I said kneeling on the grass next to him.

I extended my arms so he can take the present. He sat down and stared at the wrapped box.

"No, Amy I don't want it."

"But why not? It's Christmas eve and I bought this just for you." I said still smiling.

"Amy I said I don't want it. Give it to someone else and leave me alone." He said laying down again.

"Sonic, what's wrong? You're not being yourself. Did something happen?" I said now getting worried.

The reason I worry is because I know Sonic more than anyone else, and I feel he is acting strange. I know he sometimes ignores me, but he would never talk so mean to me like he is now. Something must have happened to make him act like this.

"Nothing! now can you please leave me alone?"

"Sonic, I know you better than anyone else. I know you're hiding me something. So whatever is going on, just tell me. You know I'm always here for you."

"I'll tell you what's going on." He said now standing up.

"It's christmas eve and all I ever wanted was my PRIVACY. And not only on christmas but every single day you never leave me alone. Why do you have to be so damn annoying?"

"Now Sonic you're being illogical. Tell me what happened to you." I said now standing up too.

I don't believe what he is saying. It makes no sense because I never disrupt his "privacy".

He just stared at me and I stared at him back. Seconds later, he picked the gift I was holding.

"You know what I think about your stupid gift?" He said.

He tossed it on the ground and then stomped on it a few times.

"Stop! What are you doing?!" I said.

Now he stopped and said: "That is what I think of your stupid gift. TRASH. Just like you, TRASH that I don't give a fuck about."

I stood there speechless not knowing what to say anymore.

"Is that prove enough of what is wrong with me?" He said.

Then he ran away, leaving me alone. I knelt on the ground to see if the gift was broken. I opened the damaged box, and the necklace was still safe. But was my heart okay? A few tears started to fall. This doesn't make sense. Why would Sonic act like this all of a sudden? I shook my head and dried my tears. I'm sure he was just in a bad mood, right? I'm sure he will be at the party and would say sorry to me..right? I stood up and walked to the car. I have to get ready for the party or I might be late. Maybe Sonic acted mean, but I know he didn't mean it. He was probably mad at something else.

An hour later...

I parked and grabbed all the gifts. I walked to the door and rang the bell. The music from the house can be heard from two blocks away. It must be a wild party I guess. I holded the half heart necklace I was wearing. I opened it to see a picture of Sonic laughing. Oh Sonic, I wonder what happened to you. Just as I was looking at the picture I heard someone say:

"Hey, you!"

I closed the necklace and looked from where that sound came from.

"Over here!" I saw a hand waving at me.

It looked like someone was hiding under a bush. So I just walked there to see who it was. When I got there, the arm pulled me down and I was about to yell but it covered my mouth.

"Shh, don't make any noise!" The person whispered.

I opened my eyes to see who this person is. It was an old lady covered with some kind of black robe.

"What's this about?" I said confused.

"Oh child, should you really go to that party? I mean no one wants you."

"Excuse me?" I said raising an eyebrow.

"That's right, no one cares for you and never did." The old lady shrugged.

"Listen old lady, you are no one to tell me that I am unworthy of my friends. Now if you excuse me, I have a party to go."

I was about to stand up, but she grabbed my hand and said some gibberish I don't understand: "Azarath kirium!"

As soon as she said that, everything was gone. By everything, I mean the place where I was just vanished. And now I have no idea where I am. I'm in the middle of a dark place, where there's not even a single light. I started to panic. How did I even get here?! Then I felt a hand touch my shoulder, which made me frighten and stood up for defense. But it was just a lady. She was wearing a provocative black dress, and are those black wings on her back?

"Did you think I was going to let you go that easily?" She said.

I stepped back and said: "Who.. Who are you? What did you do?"

"I am a fairy, and I'm here to show you the truth."

"What truth?"

"That you are a meaningless living being that no one cares about."

"Not this again! Look no matter what you say I'm not gonna believe you. Now take me to where I was."

"Do you think I'm lying?"

"Lady, you don't even know who I am."

"Oh but I do. I know every living being on this planet. But you; you are the most unworthy living being I've ever seen in this whole planet."

"That's a lie! I have friends that care about me!"

"Oh really? What if I show you something that can change your mind forever?"

She didn't even let me answer. She just did something weird with her hands, making the place change to a different one. Soon I recognized that we were inside Tail's house! I was in the living room, and as I thought, the party was wild. I saw all of my friends dancing, talking and eating. Everyone was enjoying the party. And then I saw Cream dancing with Tails. Wuao she has grown so much! I walked toward her and said:

"Hey you guys! Missed me?"

But they didn't seem to hear me. They were still dancing. Damn, they must be really focused on that dance.

"You guys, I'm here!" I said trying to touch Tail's shoulder, but instead my hand just went through it. I got scared. What just happened? I tried to touch him again, but my hand just went through it again, as if it were invisible! I tried to call every other person, but no one heard me or noticed me.

"It's not gonna work" I heard someone say. It was that black fairy again.

"What did you do to me?! Turn me back to normal again!"

"But the party is just getting started! I am about to prove you that I was right all along."

"Listen you.."

"Be quiet! The show is about to start!" She said while she was floating. She layed down while floating as if she was in bed watching a TV show.

"Where's Amy?" Cream asked Tails.

"She's not coming anymore."

What? That's not true! I told him on the phone I was going to be there!

"Uff, great! I'm relieved! I can't stand her anymore, she is just so annoying!"

"I know, right? When I was talking on the phone with her, she would never stop talking about Sonic's present. It gives me a headache just thinking about it!"

Cream laughed and said: "Oh man, I must imagine how Sonic deals with that stupid girl. He probably doesn't even have his own privacy!"

"What? What's going on? This can't be possible.." I said my eyes getting watery.

"Oh you better believe it because this is as real as ever! Those people never thought of you as a friend, they were just pretending all along because they feel pity for you!"

"That doesn't make any sense! If they never even liked me, they would have never talked to me in the first place!"

"I know! But they do this only because they like your gifts."

"What?"

"That's right, they only care about your christmas gifts, but you? hah, like 0%"

"Just look for yourself." She said pointing at the door.

I looked at where she was pointing, and I saw Knuckles picking something from outside.

"Hey guys, look what I found! Gifts!" He said.

Hey, those are my gifts! I must have left them all on the door!

Everyone walked to Knuckles to see what kind of gifts were those.

"Where did these gifts come from?" Rouge said.

"It must be from that pesky girl Amy. See? Every gift says from Amy" Shadow said.

"Awesome! I get her gifts and I don't have to see her! Best Christmas ever!" Knuckles said grabbing his present.

As everyone was taking their gifts, Tails said: "Well, I am glad she's not coming. If I hear that annoying voice one more time I swear I'm gonna puke."

Everyone laughed at his mean joke while I was heartbroken on what I just heard.

"Now do you believe me?" The dark fairy said.

I couldn't even speak, only tears were falling uncontrollably.

"Hey where's Sonic? I didn't get to see him" I heard Cream say.

"Who knows? He probably didn't come cuz he didn't want to see Amy." Shadow said

"You're probably right. If I were him, I would've done the same thing" Rouge said.

Everyone laughed again.

"Told you I was right!" The dark fairy said.

"Are you telling me, that I have been living with fake people all along? In reality, I was never loved by anyone?"

"Yup! That's why I said you are the most unworthy living being I have ever seen! For your whole life, you've been surrounded by people that have always lied to you, and never appreciated the nice things you do to them." The dark fairy said while she was playing with her black colored nails.

I can't believe this was what my life was all about. I feel..betrayed. I feel terrible. I have never felt this feeling before. But besides that, there is still one more thing that makes me want to know.

"Where is Sonic?" I said drying my tears.

"Somewhere."

"WHERE"

"The thing is, you probably don't want to know"

"Why? What is he doing now?"

"Let's just say... That if I show you what he is doing now, it will break your heart into a million pieces."

"I don't care, I have to see what he is doing."

"Suit yourself, at least I'm not the one who's going to get hurt in the end." The dark fairy said shrugging.

She did the same thing with her hand as she did before and now we are in a different place. A place that I have no idea where is at. We were in a modern living room, with a big couch, flat screen TV, speakers, and candles that made the scene romantic. This doesn't look like Metropolis. There was a big glass and I walked to it. It was a big town with many tall buildings, and it was night. What town is this? Whatever it is, it must be very far from Metropolis. But why would Sonic travel all the way here? What is he looking for exactly? Soon my thoughts were interrupted as I heard someone slam the door open harshly. I looked to see it was Sonic and I was glad to see him. But my world turned upside down when I saw he came in here while he was kissing another girl. They were tongue fighting while walking towards the big couch. The brown chipmunk pushed Sonic to the couch, then she sat right on top of him and kissed him again.

"No stop it! I can't watch this anymore!" I said covering my eyes.

"I told you it was going to break your heart! Do you ever listen to me? I'm always right!" The dark fairy said.

Now my eyes were red from crying too much while my heart couldn't stop aching. I tried to hold my chest to calm the pain, but obviously it doesn't. Suddenly I hear a phone ringing.

"I have to pick this. It might be important." Sonic said stopping the kiss.

"Oh come on boo, nothing can be as important as this" She said motioning her hand to her attractive body.

"Just hold on" He said

"Hello?"

"Sonic where are you? Aren't you coming to the party?" Tails said in the other line.

"Sorry buddy, but you know I'm not going there if that bitch is going to be there."

A bitch. He just called me a bitch?

"Chill brah, apparently she is not coming anymore. So you don't have to worry about it."

"Thanks Tails, but now I got something else to do, and trust me when I say, is not worth it to cancel that hotness waiting for me on the couch."

"Ohh you hooked a girl didn't you? Haha that's nice, I hope you have fun then."

I saw Sonic close the phone and then said: "Now where were we?"

The chipmunk giggled and they started to kiss again. Then Sonic slowly removed her shirt, then her skirt, then her bra, and then I couldn't stand this anymore!

"STOP, STOP! I CANT SEE THIS ANYMORE!" I said crying.

The place vanished and now we were back to that dark world we started. I fell on the floor, not caring if I was going to get hurt. I layed there and cried endlessly. As I was crying, I hear the dark fairy say:

"So what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know, and I don't care. I might as well rot in this world."

"Suit yourself. No one would even notice your loss and it won't really affect anything. And this world suits perfectly to anyone that has a dark feeling inside them, like you are now. I mean, look at this world. It is never ending, and it is dark. You will never see anything more darker than this. I hope your suffering." And with that, she disappeared.

Maybe I was meant to be in this dark world. What's the point of living, if no one really cares about me? I prefer to stay in here, and cry for the rest of my life, because I have been lied in my whole life by fake people.

To Be Continued...

Hi everyone I'm back to writing again! I decided to write a mini- christmas story, although it is kinda late and I'm sorry for that. Please review and tell me what you think of the story. And I know this chapter ended a little too negative, but don't worry, there will be a twist. I hope you liked it and I hope you will like the next chapter too.
