It was just another normal and peaceful day in Green Hill Zone. Bright colors decorated the land, the vibrant green grass and trees swaying gently to the whisper of the wind, and the light shone from the crystal clear waters, the whole land swimming with life. One could simply lay down on the pastures, watch the clouds slowly drift by, and sigh in content while they bask in the serenity of the scenery.
The lightning fast speedster known as Sonic the Hedgehog would often dash through the zone, allowing the adrenaline from his speed mixed with the nostalgia from the years he spent in this place, memories rushing through his mind, almost as fast as his feet carried him. Whenever he felt bored from the lack of adventure-for he always lived his life to the fullest, seeking the next thrill-or if he needed to calm his mind from his troubles, he would visit the one place he always enjoyed. The feeling of the wind rushing through his face, quills, and body gave him excitement, jumping from wall to wall, spring to spring, finding every possible route to fulfill his desire for parkour. These kinds of moments were what he considered to be one of the best moments of his life.
Unfortunately, this was not one of those moments.
The only thing that was different today was that he was being pursued by none other than the one girl who would shamelessly declare herself as the president of Sonic's fan club: the petunia pink hedgehog Amy Rose. For what seemed like hours, she had been relentlessly chasing him, her intense infatuation for him serving as the fuel for her already ecstatic nature. She would not give up until she was able to embrace the one that drove her mad with love. Unfortunately, the feeling was unrequited, but that never stopped her from following her dreams.
"Give it up, Amy!" Sonic called towards her, speeding away as much as he could from her.
"No way, Sonic! Not until I've finally got you!" Amy responded boldly, slowly inching closer to him as she ran after him.
Sonic, noticing the distance closing in between them, increasing the risk of being clobbered by her, started to grow frantic, breaking a sweat. "How are you even able to catch up?!" He cried in disbelief.
"There is nothing that the power of love can't accomplish!" she answered with conviction and confidence. Somehow this managed to give her an even greater boost, making her reach closer and closer to her hero, almost within her grasp!
However, Sonic seemed to break second wind, the adrenaline kicking in from the fear of being captured by her. Breaking the sound barrier, he blasted away from Amy's reach, leaving her to bite the dust. Having just missed, Amy tripped over and hit the floor hard, tumbling in the dirt from the speed of her pursuit, a dust cloud forming from the mayhem. After a brief moment, the blue blur realized that he had escaped and was completely free to run away, guaranteeing that he would not have to deal with her for a while. But when he saw her on the ground, her dark red dress all dirty from her fall, he felt a wave of sympathy over her and ran over towards her to help her up and clean her up.
Sonic lent the fallen girl a helping hand, holding onto her arm to pull her back onto her feet. Amy's cheeks started to grow a shade of pink darker than her hair-she blushed at the thought of her idol coming back to her aid. Allowing her fantasies about her blue knight in shining armor rush through her head, she hastily brushed off the dust from her crimson red dress. "Thanks Sonic," she finally said to him.
In response, Sonic just shook his head and gave a simple sigh. "Geez, Amy. Sometimes you can be a little much." He made it clear to her that he didn't exactly enjoy her constantly running after him.
"Sorry." The teenage girl hung her head low, the realization of him disapproving her affection towards him causing her to feel embarrassed and discouraged. "Sometimes I just can't help it. Whenever I'm around you, I always want to be with you, and I have this desire to embrace you and-"
Impatiently, the speedster cut her short of her declaration of love towards him. She would always do something crazy like this every chance she would get, and for some reason, it irritated him. Normally, he was a laidback and carefree guy, but with her constantly getting in the way of danger, or even his own time, it became too much. "Y'know, I'm really starting to think that you should seek some help, or at least something that'll calm you down. I've had enough of this." Before Amy could protest, Sonic dashed off at the speed of sound, fading away to the horizon and leaving her by herself.
The girl stomped the ground once with her right foot and pouted out of frustration. She had completely forgotten about her previous shame. "Some nerve he's got, cutting me off like that." But it didn't matter how she felt now, he wouldn't come back, so she would have to go back home and plot another attempt in another day. As she was thinking about her next method of catching her darling Sonic by surprise, his words filled her mind. I'm really starting to think that you should seek some help, or at least something that'll calm you down. Surely he didn't mean something like that, did he? Of course, she was aware that she was more exuberant than most, and that she was definitely more perseverant, but was it too much? Then again, she couldn't help but run after him every time! She always believed they were meant to be, that they were destined to be together. She was sure that Sonic felt the same way towards her to some extent, even though he was extremely reluctant to show it. There was nothing wrong with wanting to reach your destiny, was there?
But what if Sonic was right? What if she was going too far with all of these chases, and somehow she ends up blowing it, that somehow, this intense infatuation for him would push him away from her? What would she do then without him? What purpose would she have then? The very thought of it made her rosy cheeks grow cold and pale. Shaken, she hung her head low and walked back home, reflecting on her entire motives and personality. All of the times she would run after him but never seem to get a good grasp on him.
A soft wind blew from behind her, allowing her shoulder-length hair to sway in the breeze. As a slight chilling sensation traveled up and down her spine, her senses awoke once more, snapping her out of her delving thoughts. She noticed that as she was walking by, she passed a flyer stapled against a tree. She slowly stopped to read what the paper was advertising:
Having trouble with your love life? Do you always feel like you're chasing after love but never get ahold of it? Or are you afraid of blowing your shot at love?
Well look no further! Come see the Love Doctor today! For the small price of only 50 rings, Dr. Nagmeg will teach you everything you need to know about love and how to make it yours!
This was it! The answer to her problem! Now she would learn everything she needed to in order to finally get together with her darling Sonic!
She ripped off one of the address slips from the flyer, quickly placing it in her dress pocket so that she would not lose it. Then, overcome with a rush of joy, she skipped her way back home, eyes glowing with determination.
"Just you wait, my darling Sonic!" Amy declared to the skies as she twirled around in a gleeful dance. "Soon I will learn everything I need to know about love, and then nothing will keep the two of us from finally being together, not even our own selves! I'll do whatever it takes to be with you!" Enjoying the thought of being by her hero's side, she embraced herself, wrapping her arms and hugging herself as she let out a swooning sigh, one that a lovestruck fool would make. "Oh, I can't wait!"
