Chapter one: Departing
Amy sat on the beach as her friends all played around. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Omega were all playing volleyball. Cream and Cheese were in the ocean, splashing each other. Amy was very upset. "I'm finally eighteen, and noone says a word! Hmph! Wait till they hear my little surprise..." She laughed as she continued reading her book. The others continued playing, paying no heed to Amy crying.
Later that day they were all in one huge hotel suite. Amy sat at the table, eating an apple. "Why can't they say just ONE thing?" She walked to the pull out sofa, where she was sleepin tonight. As she layed down, she heard someone jump through the open window. She jumped up and pulled out her hammer. "Who's there?" A light turned on, and she saw that it was Rouge with a pile of presents. "Oh, for Knuckles or something?" She looked behind her to see everyone else sitting in chairs. They jumped up and yelled, "SURPRISE!" Amy jumped up and down. "You remembered!"
"Amy, we were waiting all day!" Sonic said as Amy ran up and hugged him. "Okay, let's not get too touchy." He pushed her away. "Go on, open your gifts!" Amy started unwrapping the first one. "A diamond ring! Who...?" Rouge stood up. "Stolen...I measn bought, from the best jeweler in the world!" Amy opened the next one. "A key?" Tails stood up. "Look outside." Amy looked to see her old car. Only, it wasn't old at all. "My baby! All fixed up, thanks Tails!" Tails held up a remote. "Locker, and look at these features." He got in the car, made it fly, shot fireworks, and showed her a giant clothes rack. "Thanks! Oh, thanks for the ring Rouge! It looks like the ring I saw in the store a few weeks back..." She opened another one. "A chao carrier! Cream, thanks!" Cream jumped up and hugged Amy. "For that little chao you love so much, didn't you name her Emmy?" Amy opened anopther gift. "A chaos drive. Thanks Shadow!" Amy rolled her eyes.
When Amy had finished, a huge pile of items lay in front of her bed. Twenty pairs of the most fashionable shoes from Sonic, a jewelry boz from Knuckles, an Omochao punching bag from Omega, a Vista laptop from the Chaotix, among other things from all of her friends. Eggman even sent her a cake. (It blew up, but it was still nice) She hated to break the news after this party, but it had to be done.
The next morning came quickly, and everyone was soon eating breakfast. "Guys," Amy stood up," I have an announcement. There is a college up in the northern part of northwest island that really wants me. I think I'd do well there, and I leave tomorrow morning." She sat back down. "Amy! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Amy looked down. "I didn't think you cared." Everyone looked at her. "Of course we care!" Sonic said, "You can just get annoying sometimes, like Shadow with his angst all the time. And the coffee, give me that!" He grabbed a coffee cup out of Shadow's hand. "You drink too much of it." Shadow was jittering. "Oo...ok...okay." "Well, come on sweetie, let's get you packed up!" Rouge said as she helped Amy up. "You'll write us every week, right?" Amy nodded as they packed her clothes and other stuff.
"Okay, everyone, this is it!" Amy said as she walked towards the boat. "I'll try to call you all when I can!" She waved as everyone bid her goodbye. "BYE!" She waved as the ship pulled out of port. She went to her room. "Aww, man! This is first class?" She looked at the dingy room. "It smells like a mixture of feet and pennies..."
