Sonic was checking his mail, and was very excited at an orange envelope. He had entered some sweepstakes, and won tickets for six to a 5 week cruise. He knew he wasn't about to give his own ticket to a stranger; the rest were easy to decide. He knew that if he didn't take Amy, he'd never hear the end of it. Knuckles and Rouge were workaholics; they needed a 5 week cruise. Tails was his best friend, and he wasn't about to leave him behind. Lastly, Cream had never before been on a cruise, and it would be a good experience for her. Plus, Chao could get on without tickets. He sent text messages to the five of them, telling them to meet him on his driveway. Naturally, Amy arrived first,

"Ya gonna pop the question?" she asked, eagerly,

"I didn't call you here for that exactly," said Sonic,

"A date?" she asked, a little less eager,

"I'll tell you why I called you here when the rest show up," Cream showed up next. Naturally her best friend Cheese was by her side every step of the way. Knuckles and Rouge showed up next, finally, Tails showed up.

"I want all of you," said Sonic, "to close your eyes and hold out your hands." They each obeyed. Sonic placed one ticket in each hand.

"Open your eyes," said Sonic. They stared surprised at their tickets. Amy broke they silence by squealing excitedly, making everyone jump in the process. She embraced Sonic in a frantic hug.

"This is a dream come true," she stated happily. It was a full blown, patented Amy Rose Hug. It took everyone, including Cheese, to pry Amy off of Sonic. She collected herself.

"Well," she said, "I just want you to know that inviting me on a 5 week cruise has to be the sweetest thing you've ever done." She gave him a peck on the cheek. Sonic was seethed at by Cheese,

"Chao Chao Chao," he said angrily,

"That's an excellent point," said Cream, "Why didn't Cheese get a ticket; would you like to explain that?"

"Chao get on without tickets," Sonic explained.

"Thank god," said Cream, heaving a sigh of relieve and mopping her furry brow.

"Alright," said Sonic, getting everyone back to reality from his or her daydreams, "all of you, go back home and pack vacation clothes; and whatever you do, don't lose your tickets. It wasn't easy earning them. Put them somewhere where you won't forget where they are."

Amy sat in her room, throwing all her clean clothes into a suitcase, on the phone with Sonic,

"I just gotta know: why did you choose me to go with you; you could've easily left me behind."

"Oh," said Sonic, "I just wanted to bond with you more. I gotta go, my shows are on, and by the way, the cruise is tomorrow." Amy hung up as her mother, Annette, entered the room,

"Going somewhere?" she asked in a 'what-are-you-up-to?' kind of voice,

"Sonic's taking me on a 5 week cruise." Amy suddenly grew desperate, "Please let me go. Please don't make me stay behind, and miss this once in a lifetime opportunity,"

"Why would I do that?" she asked, "I hope you have a good time with that Sonic fellow; don't come back empty-handed; I want a souvenir." Her father, Arnold stuck his head in the door,

"I want one, too." Amy chuckled slightly,

"Alright," she stated, "I'll see what I can do."

"Go to bed soon," said Arnold,

"Why?" asked Amy, "It's only seven,"

"Early to bed, early to rise." Said Annette. The phone rang again, and Annette answered,

"Thanks," she said, the hung up, "That was Sonic," she said, "He'll pick you up tomorrow at 5:00 A.M. When you finish packing, go to bed." Amy finished, and went to bed.

Cream ran through her front door,

"Mom," she cried,

"What's up, sweetie?"

"Sonic invited me for a 5 week cruise. Would it be alright if I went?"

"Of coarse. Sweetie. And by the by, is that boy you've been head over heels for going, too?"

"Yeah," said Cream excitedly. She ran to her room and broke out her diary,

May 7th 2025

I must be the luckiest Rabbit in the whole world. I get to go on a cruise that runs 5 weeks. Plus, Tails is going, too. As you know, I have a HUGE crush on him. Sonic said that there would be two to a room; I just gotta find a way to bunk with Tails. Oh, I'm so excited I can hardly write; until next time,

Cream

Rouge was on the phone with her boss,

"Sir," she said, "can I get some time off? I think 5 weeks. What's that? You wanna know why? Well, I'm going on a cruise with some friends. Of coarse, I would love six weeks off."

That's the first chapter, it is. If anyone got a suggestion or idea, tell me, NO FLAMES.
