My Knight in Shining Armour
Chapter 1 – Date Night
Babi sat on her couch on the fourteenth of February in her finest tube dress from the charity store. She was wearing a rose from Mrs Tunbridge's garden in her hair and some bright red lipstick that she borrowed from her older sister, Rouge.
There was a knock on her door. "Come in, it's open!" Babi screamed, turning off her television. A spotty, nervous Sonic the Hedgehog walked in, holding a big bouquet of flowers.
"Oh Sonic!" Babi cried. "You shouldn't have!"
Sonic smiled and laughed awkwardly. "So- um. . . errrr. . . so you wanna, er, go to the. . . the park?"
"You bet!" Babi said.
Sonic took Babi's hand awkwardly and walked her out.
The park was dark, as it was winter, and the silhouettes of teenage lovers were scattered across the park. Apart from the few lonely figures that sulked around, probably wishing on the bright stars that sat in the sky that someone will come along, like a brave knight on his stallion or a princess on a pony that would whisk them away.
Sonic and Babi walked along the edge of the pond, hand in hand. "Oh, Sonic, this is beautiful!" Babi screeched.
Babi, although being the prettiest girl in the school, was also the dimmest and the most annoying. Her voice alone able to push a person to the brink of sanity. Sonic, however, didn't mind, since he was now the luckiest guy in school.
"So, Babi," Sonic said. "I, er- I got you a present."
"A present? For me? Really?"
"Yeah, it's nothing much, just a little necklace," Sonic said, giving Babi a small rectangular box. "I could get one that said 'Babi' so I had to get on that say 'Baby' instead."
"Oh Sonic! It's wonderful! This is the best valentines day ever!"
Sonic smiled, although his sanity was already on the brink. Honestly, how many times had she said, "Oh Sonic!"? Well however many it was, it was starting to get on Sonic's nerves.
Sonic looked around. He saw many of the lonely figures, but then he saw one in particular that looked farmilliar.
"Hey, I recognise her." Sonic said.
"She probably just goes to our school." Babi said, without even looking, then pulling a pack of cigarettes out of her handbag, followed by a lighter.
"No. . I think I know her!"
Babi looked around and found the girl that Sonic was talking about. "Oh her, that's that Amy girl. Yeah, she used to wear that stupid little red dress, 'til she went all rock-chick. She's such a fake." Babi looked around to find that Sonic was already walking towards Amy.
"Amy?" Sonic said, unsure as he remember Amy being bubbly and happy, not rock-chick.
"What's it to you? I know it's you, Sonic. I don't know what you want, but I still haven't forgiven you, so you're not getting' it."
"I don't want anything." Sonic said. "I just wanted to ask how you are."
"How I am?" Amy asked, turning around. "How I am! You wanna know how I am, ha? Well, the one guy I ever really like went off with some- some TRAMP! And when I think I've finally gotten over that guy and then he comes over on VALENTINES day to ask HOW I AM!"
"I was trying to be nice." Sonic shrugged.
"Well save your breath, I think you've hurt me enough in my life."
"I'm sorry, I just thought-"
Amy turned away. "Gees." Sonic sighed. "I didn't know you were an emo."
"A what?" Amy turned around. "Did you call me an emo?"
As Amy stepped into the moonlight, she shimmered. Her voice became steely and her nails were replaced with shining metal claws. "What the-"
Amy lashed out at the unsuspecting Sonic. "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG. YOU WERE RUDE TO ME AND NOW YOU MUST PAY!" Amy said in her stiff metal voice.
Sonic looked up from the ground. His left eye was in pain and his vision was blurry. "Amy-"
Amy picked Sonic up off of the ground. Sonic was whimpering and Babi was running over.
"Get off of him! Stop hurting him!" Babi cried, stumbling every now and then over her high heels.
"I SEE YOU HAVE YOUR TRAMP TO FIGHT YOUR BATTLES FOR YOU." Amy grabbed the little bat from the hair and scratched right down her pretty face.
Babi screamed as the other teens ran away from the moonlit park. She shielded her face with her trembling hands.
Amy turned back to Sonic who was too hurt and frightened to run or hide. Amy gave him on final blow to the head, which knocked him out. . .
