Chapter 1: It's Valentines Day

A bright sunny day, it couldn't be more perfect as a young, perky, pink hedgehog skipped down the street, a particular destination on her mind. Amy Rose had a delightful grin on her face as she got ever closer to Tails's Workshop, her intent? To see a brave, heroic, and very handsome blue hedgehog. Today, as it just so happened was her favorite time of the year for today was Valentine's Day. Dressed for the occasion she wore an outfit different from her usual red dress. Today she wore a warm yellow dress that hung a little more loosely around her. On her head was a matching yellow headband with a pink heart clipped in the center of it. Around her wrist as well were two pink bangles with red heart shaped designs adorning them. Around her waist was also a pink belt with a big red heart serving as the belt buckle, and her usual red shoes.

She had bought this outfit just a few days ago specifically for the occasion and in the hopes that the slight change in look might also catch the attention of the hedgehog of her dreams, Sonic. This time, the cocky speedster would be hers! Lost in her thoughts she started to take a wrong turn and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Watch it," the man said annoyed dragging her out of her thoughts.

"Sorry," she apologized meekly as the man huffed away.

The love struck hedgehog quickly got back to her feet and dusted herself off, focused once again on where she was actually going, she could day dream about Sonic later. With a look of determination now plastered on her face, she sped up, after all the quicker she got to the workshop, the sooner Sonic would be hers.

Tails' Workshop

Sonic came downstairs stretching and yawning. Looking around Sonic could only shake his head as he saw his best friend and little brother Tails as usual underneath the Tornado tinkering away.

"That's about all you do anymore little buddy, if you don't start coming out with me more you're gonna get flabby," the Blue Blur teased.

Tails with a soft sigh pried himself away from his work and came out from under the Sonic Team plane.

"Don't give me that, I still train regularly with you and I am as fit as ever thank you very much," the young genius said matter of factly.

"Relax, I was only teasing," Sonic mumbled to his two tailed companion moving to sit on the couch.

Tails shook his head realizing he had probably been a little snippish, he hadn't been sleeping too well lately, being paranoid over the fact it had been some time since they had seen Eggman had put Tails on high alert unlike his much more relaxed and easy going best friend. Tails let off a sigh and moved to sit with Sonic.

"Speaking of, any sign of you know who?" Sonic inquired trying to lighten the mood some.

Tails smiled slightly knowing exactly who the speedster was asking about.

"No, not yet anyway, but given what day it is, give it time," Tails mused to his oldest friend.

Sonic was slightly confused at words of the two tailed fox. What was today that had prompted that question? Sonic cleared it out of his head knowing his buddy was right, it would only be a matter of time before Amy came knocking no matter what the day. Almost as if knowing she was being thought and talked about a knock rang out on the main door to the garage.

Tails had to stifle a chuckle as Sonic let off a groan and got to his feet. He knew who that most likely was and he hadn't been on his daily run yet today, now he had an excuse to get himself motivated to do so.

The Blue Blur heard the door creak open and a familiar female voice ring out.

"Hi Tails, is Sonic in?" Amy Rose inquired.

"Of course, he's right inside," Tails mused back stepping aside letting the pink hedgehog in.

Amy saw Sonic as she came inside and absolutely beamed at him, a huge smile on her face.

"Hey Sonic, do you know what today is?" she asked, almost giddy.

Again with what day it was. Sonic even more curious now shifted nervously glancing around, he couldn't find any sort of hint and the only thing that really stood out to him was Amy's different outfit which he had to admit he thought made her look kinda cute. Wait...what, did he just think of Amy Rose of all people as...cute? Nah, he couldn't have. Shaking his head he grinned nervously at her scratching the back of his head.

"Ummm...it's Saturday?" he guessed.

He saw a flicker of hurt flash across Amy's eyes and he instantly felt bad. He didn't realize he had done something bad and he no intention of hurting the younger hedgehog on purpose.

"It's Valentines Day silly," she said, her smile returning almost instantly moving closer to her hero.

Amy wanted so badly to glomp him like she normally would but this time she was forcing herself to restrain. She wanted this date really bad and knew if she did that, all hope for it would be lost. So to her better judgement, she withheld...this time. Sonic felt his heart rate increase and felt his stomach start to do what felt like flips and it annoyed him. This happened every time his fan girl was close to him like this and he couldn't figure it out which is why it annoyed him, why did this happen to him? Realizing he hadn't said anything or ran away...yet, Amy decided to press her luck.

"And this year I was wondering if you would actually take me," Amy started but was interrupted by Sonic clearing his throat.

"Uhh...hate to run, well not really," Sonic started, chuckling slightly at his own joke, growing nervous when he was the only one who did, "But I err...I gotta speed!" he shouted quickly.

In a flash Sonic was gone as the rest of Amy's words finally managed to get free from her throat, "Date with me..."

The young hedgehog let off a depressed sigh, sniffling back her tears. Tails could only look on in dismay as Amy was once again left in Sonic's dust, heartbroken. He had had enough of this from his best friend, he had had enough of another of his friends being so constantly hurt because of that best friend because he was too afraid to admit his feelings. This was going to end today, and he was going to be the one to finally put an end to it.

"Amy, I umm...need to go take care of something, you can sit here for awhile if you like," Tails offered softly to his hurt comrade.

Amy simply shook her head, the tears she fought to hold back finally escaping.

"It's okay...thanks for the offer though...I'll just go home and be alone...like I always do," Amy said lowly, her shoulders slumped and her head bowed in defeat choking back sobs.

As he watched her exit the workshop Tails felt like someone had squeezed his heart and was constricting it, he hated seeing her like this. Once she was entirely gone Tails stepped out himself and locked up his workshop, it was time to go find Sonic and put a stop to this. Getting flabby indeed as he took of at an impressive speed that could rival Sonic, something he had picked up from all of his time traveling and adventuring with the Blue Speedster while fighting Eggman.

~A/N~

Alright so, this definitely isn't a Megaman X fic by any means. As I said in my profile I am looking to start dabbling in Sonic fanfiction and figured this would be as good a place as any to start. I had intended to get this started sooner to have it up on Valentines Day specifically but I couldn't find the motivation to get it going till now. This was originally meant to be only a one shot but the idea I ultimately developed is making me turn it into a two parter otherwise this thing would have been waaaaay too long lol. Anyway, this is my first ever Sonic fanfic *obviously* so be gentle, I bruise easily x.x

As always though, R&R no matter if it's good, bad, dastardly, or flamey, it all helps in the end. Till next time my peeps!
