Sun rays were shining through Amy's curtains.
She knew she had to get up and even had her alarm clock set to 7 am. But she was so frustrated with the noise it was making, that she threw it against the wall, broke it and whent back to sleep.
She hated waking up early in the morning. Sure, everyone hates waking up early in the morning. But Amy took it to a whole new level.

About an hour later, she finally realized that she was running late and stormed out of bed to take a shower.

Amy: "OH SHOOT, I'M LATE! AW MAN, TAILS IS GONNA KILL ME!" she shouted while getting ready as quickly as she could.

Today was the day she and her friends decided to throw a party, because of the fact that it's been almost a year now since Dr. Eggmans last attempt of taking over the world. He had this big idea of creating a world where everything was taken over by his machines and he was the only one in control and blahblahblah. He basically wanted world domination. So yeah. It's only natural that everyone was really happy once he stopped showing up. Nobody knows where he whent though. Not even Sonic, the one Eggman kept challenging. But he doesn't really care. And neither does anyone else. As long as the troublemaker is gone.

Anyway. Tails had the idea of throwing the party. And everyone agreed to it.

Amy remembers Tails saying: "Could you help prepare the party with me tomorrow? 8:30 am sharp O.K.? I know you hate getting up early more than anyone, but this party will be a pretty big deal to a lot of people and it would be great if you could help me out."

As Amy stepped out of the shower, she took a quick look at the clock. It was now 8:20 am. She stared in horror and changed into her clothes as quickly as she could. She slipped into her usual red dress and boots and stormed out of her house.

"What I would give to be Sonic right now."
she thought to herself while running down the street. "Life must be so simple being the fastest thing alive."

She finally made it to the place where Tails was throwing the party. It was taking place in their Base. A huge building that Tails built with the help of Amy and the others. It was built ontop of a hill that had a perfect view of the town. Of course Sonic had picked out that spot. He knew where all the best spots where when it came to having a great view.
It took them years to finish building it. But then again, it was Tails' idea. And it was worth it. The place was filled with gadgets that he had made and invented. Every time you whent in it, it would feel like you where walking through a futuristic mansion. It was like being in a sci-fi movie. It even had doors that would slide open by themselves whenever you walked towards them. It's hard to believe that an 8 year old fox kid made these things all by himself. Tails was a pure genius.

The Base was their pride and joy. And by 'they' it meant only Amy, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream and Cheese. Tails had built in a scanner into the main entrance to make sure that only they where the ones who had access to the building. It was their Base after all. They didn't want just anybody going in.
It was their perfect place of privacy where they could hang out or figure out how to beat Eggman. The Base was also the place where Tails kept the X-Tornado, which was now upgraded to a huge jet and was put into a huge room where he also kept other vehicles that he had created. Of couse the building also had a room where Tails would create new inventions and perform all kinds of experiments.

While Amy was still standing there, admiring the Base in all it's glory, she turned to face it's main entrance. There stood a blue spiky hedgehog. It was none other than Sonic. He was facing the entrance with his arms folded in and his right foot tapping the floor as if waiting for something.

Sonic: "You're late." he sais turning his head towards Amy with a slight frown on his face.

Amy: "Yeah. By one second." Amy sais with an annoyed tone.

Sonic: "Still counts as late in my book." Sonic replies, now also a little annoyed.

Amy: "I see you're impatient as ever." Amy responded trying to ignore the fact that Sonic was being snappy with her. "Where's Tails anyway? I thought we where supposed to meet here."

Sonic: "He went inside to go get something. He told me to wait here. Now I'm not so sure he's ever coming back."

Amy: "Oh come on. You where probably only waiting for a minute or so. Don't get paranoid."

Sonic: "I'M NOT PARANOID!" Sonic shouts slightly twitching his left eye. He was obviously not handling the 'waiting' thing too well.

The relationship between Sonic and Amy had changed over the months. Amy is no longer head over heels obsessed with Sonic and has learned to have normal conversations with him without trying to hug or kiss him every five seconds. She had gotten a little more mature and Sonic knew that too. He was happy that he was finally able to have a relationship like that with her.

Before they knew it, the doors of the main entrance slid open and Tails came rushing out with a bunch of flyers in his hands.

Tails: "Oh good Amy, you've made it!" Tails said, realizing that Amy was standing next to Sonic. "Now that you're both here, I want you two to spread these flyers around town and hang them up wherever you can. Is that cool?"

Sonic: "Sure thing buddy!" Sonic said with a smile.

Tails gave Sonic and Amy two heavy piles of flyers reading: "TROUBLEMAKER EGGMAN GONE! To celebrate 10 egghead-free months, come to Sonic Team Base! Party starts at 7:30 pm! EVERYONE'S INVITED!"

Everyone knew where the Base was since it's kind of hard to overlook. Yeah. It was THAT huge.
Anyone who ever took a glimpse at the Base, always wanted to know what it was like from the inside. But since Amy, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream and Cheese where the only ones who could enter it, no one ever did. Until today. So they where expecting a lot of guests. Possibly even the whole town. Thankfully the town wasn't that huge and the Base was more than big enough to fit in all the towns people.

Tails: "I'm going to try and remove the scanner from the main entrance today. While I do that, you can take these out. I've already put Knuckles and Cream in charge of food and snacks."

Sonic: "No problem Tails. See ya then!"

While Sonic and Amy made their way to town, Amy wanted to forget how heavy her pile of flyers where and looked for other things to think about.

Amy: "Don't you ever get bored?" Amy asks out of the blue.

Sonic: "Huh?" Sonic replies lifting one eyebrow. He clearly wasn't expecting a question like that.

Amy: "You know. Now that Eggman's gone and all. Don't you ever get bored of not being able to beat up robots anymore?"

Sonic takes a moment of thought.

Sonic: "Now that you mention it.…Yeah I do. I never thought I'd actually miss something like that."

Amy: "Well to be honest, I'm not that surprised."

Sonic faces Amy in question.

Amy: "Over the years of your past battles with Eggman, I've noticed that you werent just fighting him for the sake of saving the people in danger, but also for the thrill of facing new challenges and testing your limits."

Sonic: "You've noticed all that just from me fighting him?"

Amy: "I used to be obsessed with you, remember? Of course I noticed."

Sonic slightly turned his face in the other direction trying to hide the little blush on his face.

Sonic: "Still, it's surprising that you noticed all tha-"

Amy: "-Then again, I might just be good at knowing how people feel by observing them." Amy quickly replied while cutting off Sonic in the middle of a sentence.

A little part of Sonic was disappointed when she said that.

Sonic: "Yeah, whatever. Let's just get rid of these flyers."

Amy: "Why? They too heavy for ya?" she said with a giggle.

Sonic: "Yeah right. You're one to talk." Sonic answered.

Now AMY was confused.

Sonic: "You're the one having trouble holding up your pile. Guess you're not the only one who's good at knowing how people feel by observing them."

Amy: "You were observing me?" Amy asks with a cheeky grin.

Sonic: "Haha. Very funny. You know what I mean."

Amy: "Well, if you knew that from 'observing' me so well, then why didn't you ever offer to give me a hand?"

Sonic: "Why didn't YOU admit that you where having trouble holding the flyers?"

Amy: "Touché." Amy replied. "I guess I just didn't want to be a bother."

Sonic, without saying anything further, stopped and took half of the flyers from the pile Amy was holding and added it to his at the speed of sound. He then continued walking. But Amy stood there, in shock of how fast he managed to do all those things in less than a second. He had moved so fast, she didn't even have the time to process what exactly was going on.
So she stood there as if paralyzed, until Sonic stopped and turned around.

Sonic: "You coming?!" he shouted from the distance.

Amy: "Huh? Oh. S-Sure!" she said, finally snapping out of it and ran to catch up with Sonic. When she caught up to him, she smiled.

After a while, they had finally arrived and thanks to Sonic, they managed to hand out and hang up all the flyers they were given quicker than ever. So they went on their way to Base once they had finished.

Amy: "A lot of people seemed happy when they saw the flyers. Don't you think so too?" Amy asked while heading back to Base with Sonic.

Sonic: "Yeah well, It's not that surprising really. Eggman had caused a lot of trouble for the towns people in the past. It's only natural that they would feel happy after seeing that we're throwing a party dedicated to his disappearance."

Amy: "Yeah, that's true."
Amy again remembers Tails saying that the party would be a big deal for a lot of people.

Sonic: "So, do you? Feel happy about his disappearance I mean."

Amy: "Well yeah of course. He kept kidnapping me to get to you. Who WOULDN'T be happy about that?"

Sonic: "But then again, I was always there to save the damsel in distress. What would you do without me?" he sais proudly.

Amy looks at Sonic and smiles.

Amy: "Things would be different without you." Amy replied, turning her head away from Sonic, now facing the path they were walking on. "They certainly wouldn't be the same as they are now. You were always there for people when they needed you, no matter what the circumstances. You made the lives for a lot of people a lot easier. If you hadn't been there, god knows what Eggman would have done around here. A lot of people are thankful for what you've done in the past. And so am I."

Sonic: "I didn't think I'd get a whole speech from you. It was supposed to be a rhetorical question." Sonic sais. Blushing a little.

Amy: "I'm sorry. It's just something I thought you needed to know." Amy sais. Now blushing and a bit embarrassed.

Sonic: "Well, I appreciate you telling me that." he sais turning to Amy and smiling.
"Thanks."

Amy looks at Sonic and quickly turns away to hide her blush.

Sonic suddenly runs ahead.

Sonic: "C'mon Amy! We're almost at Base!" he shouts while running backwards.

Amy: "What are YOU so excited about?!" Amy shouts back.

Sonic: "Why wouldn't I be?!" Sonic asks, grinning. "It's a new day!"
