The Little Shop of Strawberries
Chapter One
(Amy's POV)
My eyes blinked over and over again at the most amazing and beautiful thing I ever layed my eyes on. Well the object I saw in my DREAMS anyway. I kept dreaming of the same object over and over again, and ONLY that. It was a glass rose, shined with the color mixture of pink and red. The stem was a light green, or more like an emerald color. It wasn't a piece of jewerly. It was just something like decoration, something only rich people can afford to put into their houses and brag about how amazing the rose would bring out the room. Either that or they would COMPLAIN about how cheap it was. Selfish bastards...
Anyways, I could never be able to afford this. If I was anything BUT a worker at a bakery, I would have be able to. The boss rips me off like crazy. I do the most work, but I get the least paid. Maybe it's because I'm blind.
Yes...I'm blind.
How I work here is hard as hell. Since I cant see, I'd have to remember exactly where everything is. It gets QUITE annoying, but I manage. My boss and co-workers felt bad for me, so each room has a different temperature so I know which room I'm in. 67 degrees for the main entrance, 78 degrees for the bakery area where we make the goodies, and 60 degrees for the bathroom. Kinda funky, eh? Well, I guess it shows they...care?
But they mostly treat me like crap. Like once I couldn't find a dollar I dropped from the register, one of my co-workers teased me and took out all the money from the regisiter throwing them on the floor making me look like a fool. Then she'll run to the boss and complain about me fooling around with money.
I guess people think they can take advantage of me just because I'm blind and I can't see half the shit that is happeneing to me...
"Excuse me, miss?"
My mind snapped back to reality, and I wish I can see what the girl looked like. She sounded bitchy.
"Erm, yes?"
"Miss, I'm over HERE."
I assumed she was waving her hands for my attention because I felt little winds brushing my hair.
"I'm sorry I can't...see."
"But I'm right-"
"I'm blind, dammit.." I growled, but then covered my mouth because I was disrespectful to a customer. That's a big no-no when you work.
"Oh. Well anyways, I wanted CREAM filling in my doughnut. Not JELLY filling..."
I can't do WONDERS for you,lady!
"Oh I'm sorry, I'll fix it right-"
A girl that resembled me pushed me over making me land on the lady's jelly filled, but cream-wanted-filling, doughnut. She's the same girl that dropped all the money on the floor. Her name is Saymeiya.(A/N: Most of you know her from my 'To Be Loved or Die Trying' story. Just making a twist.). She has lighter fur than me, and has sea-green eyes...I only know that from what people tell me. And I hear compliments over and over like 'Saymeiya! You're fur is the lighest pink ever!' or 'Oh my gosh! You're eyes are like emerald seas!'..I guess that means sea-green right? All I get is, 'Oh..I like you're eyes..they are sorta..spooky though..'.
Basically making fun of my blindness.
"Damn it, Amy! You are just as clumsy as ever! Wait 'till the boss hears this!"
Saymeiya is on her way to the Gates of HELL soon...
(Sonic's POV)
Eggman not attacking Mobius for 2 months now? Now THAT is what I call insane! Honestly, that man makes me ALIVE! What good is it to live without having fun kicking his ass?
Then again, I guess it's good since it puts everyone around here at ease. Everyone is so happy now, and I'd rather have it like that any day.
But...life is just so BORING now!
"Mr. Sonic!"
Someone was calling me. I turned around and yet I found no one...
"I'm down here!" the little voice called.
I looked down and I see a little bunny girl with creamed color fur with a touch of brown at the side of her ears. Her eyes were a deep chocolate, and her smile was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
"How you know my name?"
"Well everyone knows the famous Sonic The Hedgehog. You're my idol!"
"Heh, aren't I to everyone?" I smiled with a little cockiness showing.
"I suppose so..."
"Well anyways, you know MY name...what's YOUR name?"
"I'm Cream the Rabbit. I work here at 'The Little Shop of Strawberries'!"
"...Ok then.."
"You have no idea what I'm talkin about do you?"
"Not a clue," I said with honesty.
"It's literally the BEST bakery shop around! We lietrally sell everything you can think of!"
"I doubt it very much so..." I grinned.
"Ok, try me."
"Vanilla Cream Pie!"
"Yep!"
"Strawberry Shortcake."
"Of course!"
"...Vanilla Cream Pie?"
"Uh-huh! And you just asked me that..".
"Cheesecake??"
"That's stupid to even ask." Cream rolled her eyes.
Did this place literally have EVERYTHING?
"Bet'cha don't have any fortune cookies!" I smiled.
"Guess again, buddy."
"You gotta be kidding me.." I was shcoked.
"No lie. Told you we had everything imaginable!" Cream smiled.
"This is ridiculous..."
"I'm sorry you think that way Mr. Sonic.."
...I know what you are thinking. I was never good with kids anyway...
"...H-Hey, it's not a bad thing. Tell you what, I'll check this place out if you want me to."
"That'd be great!"
"That's only if I get a free Cheesecake..."
"You have to talk about that to that boss."
"Whatever."
Cream then took me to the bakery she worked at. You know if you think about it, isn't she like 6? How can she even work here?
"Here we are!"
I looked inside and it was the HUGEST bakery I have EVER seen! The pinkness kinda throws me off, but it's so HUGE! And you even saw the cheecake, the strawberry shortcake, vanilla cream pie, and the fortune cookies Cream said they had. This is a fat man's heaven!
"Saymeiya, can you go get the boss for-"
"WHY isn't the famous Sonic the Hedgehog!" this light pink hedgehog screamed. Seems like another crazed fangirl I have to face...that is all the 'dangers' I encounter nowadays...
"Yes, it is. ANYWAYS-"
"What are you still doing here? Your break is over. Now get back to work with lil miss 'Helen Keller' over there.
"That's cool, Saymeiya..."
Yeah...that was kinda cold...
"Whatever. Anyways, glad I could finally meet you face to face, Sonic. I've been DYING to meet you." Sayemiya smiled.
"Lemme guess. You wanna go on a date with me because it'll be the 'best night of my life'."
"Why how did you know?"
"Every crazed fan girls says the same damn thing. It's getting kinda old and annoying now, so you are wasting your time miss...Samurai.."
"Saymeiya.."
"Whatever..." I walked right passed her, leaving her stunned.
"WHERE IS MY CREAM-FILLED DOUGHNUT I ASKED FOR?"
"This service is horrible!"
"This new worker should be fired!"
I turned to where the hassle was coming from, and I clearly saw tons of women complaining to this pink hedgehog...
...a beautiful...rose-looking hedegehog...
