Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog. That includes "Sonic CD" and Amy Rose.
A/N: I just downloaded Sonic CD and have been busy playing it. Which is why I didn't update my other Sonic story (along with hoping for more reviews), but I did write this short one in its place. Amy's first thoughts on Sonic.
Chapter 1: The Blue Hero
Amy Rose had heard fantastic stories about Sonic the Hedgehog.
He defeated the baddies and saved countless zones.
He was the fastest of the fast- the best at what he did.
There was a few sketches of him in the newspapers and she found him to be a rather fine looking specimen for the most part and blamed any imperfections in his form on the artists. She took to collecting every image she could find of him, treasuring the actual photos above all else.
Sure most were blurred by his quick motions or obscured by some random object that decided to stand in the way of the camera. Aka: Robotnik's machines, that nameless fox rushing onto the scene, or even such insignificant things as trees or large boulders. Seriously could no one get a good picture of him? The best she had was a still frame of his back, his head was tilted just slightly in a way that teased her. If he had turned just a little more she'd be able to get a good look at his face.
It didn't matter. After today she'd be seeing it however many times she pleased.
According to her tarot cards she was 'destined' to meet him on Little Planet.
She wouldn't wait another minute. She set out as soon as she had packed her small backpack and slung it over her shoulders. There was a decent amount of ground to cover but she was rather quick footed herself. Probably no where as fast as Sonic but that wouldn't matter… he'd wait for her. She was sure of it.
Needless to say she was surprised by the state of Little Planet, she had heard it was a beautiful place. All this metal suggested otherwise though. There was badniks buzzing about and spikes protruding from the ground but then why else would her hero be here if not for this mess? He was obviously here to clean out the evil.
How brave and honorable of him.
She squirmed in her shoes with excitement and it was as she was rocking back and forth that she saw him. A blue speck speeding rapidly in her direction. He came over the crest of a cliff, smashing a badnik to smithereens on his way down. Amy felt her heart flutter as she played out the coming scene in her mind.
He'd stop before her, sweeping her off her feet and they'd run off into the distance together. It would be perfect. A simple daydream though since he didn't seem to be slowing. Perhaps he didn't see her and if that was the case she just needed to grasp his attention so she called out: "Oi! Sonikku!" Waving to him, but alas… he dashed right past. Whipping her orange skirt about her with a sudden gush of wind.
It was possible he hadn't heard her though. She heard that he could run faster than the speed of sound. It wouldn't hurt to try again though- just in case.
"Sonikku!" She called after him with more force, but he was already long gone.
She was on his tail later that day and wasn't disappointed when her persistence was finally acknowledged. It was a small thing, a simple glance over his shoulder at her but she still couldn't resist releasing a squeal of glee at it all the same.
He really was cute, much cuter than artist recreations.
She could hardly wait to see what he looked like when he got older.
For whatever reason he stumbled at that point, perhaps surprised by how pretty she was? Regardless of 'why', it allowed her to catch up and in an instant she had latched onto his arm- stopping him in his tracks and while she happily snuggled against him he didn't return the gesture.
Instead he had this wide eyed look about him, ears tilted back and mouth quirked slightly. Amy wasn't the least bit put off by his reaction since she figured he must just be shy around girls. That couldn't be too uncommon at his age, right? "Oh Sonikku, I finally-"
She didn't even get the chance to finish as he ripped free of her grasp and shot off like a bullet. It was only when he put several yards between them that his gaze flicked backwards and he leapt onto a bounce pad without another moment's hesitation- launching himself up the face of the cliff. Some might say had reacted as if she burned him but she saw otherwise.
He was obliviously just playing hard to get. He wanted her to prove she was worthy.
He wanted her to follow.
She rushed after him, tilting her head back and calling his name once more. This however, was a sound that was soon punctured by her scream as the ground beneath her feet exploded. Suddenly she was hurling upwards through the air.
Admittedly she didn't look at her captor right away but when she did she screamed a second time. It was a nightmare image of her perfect hero- complete with dreadful red eyes. She was beyond words, senselessly struggling as something blue soared along the edge of her vision. Someone that was trying to stop this but couldn't reach.
When no release came she continued to wail at the robot with her fists though it clearly did no good. She could feel the angry tears springing to life at the corners of her eyes as the scenery whipped past. "No!" She shrieked, "Let me go, I want Sonic. Sonikku!"
If she had just looked back she would have seen the small speck that was Sonic. His brows drawn together and his fists tight at his sides as he stared after her and his metal copy. Silently watching them fade into the distance.
A/N: Let me know if I should continue this. I think I could pull off one or two more chapters depending, seeing as this is Amy's story, as far as Sonic is concerned...
