Chapter 1 -

It was a dark, chilly night, as a young fifteen-year-old pink hedgehog made her way across the streets of the city in which she and her friends lived. A breeze swept by her, chilling her, and she wrapped her arms close around her in an attempt to keep warm.
Thoughts of a handsome blue hedgehog were filling her mind as she went. She had always admired Sonic the Hedgehog. The instant she had set eyes on him she knew she was in love with him. She recalled that day when they had first met.

~Flashback~

Sonic had just finished off defeating that robot that attacked me. I remember I was alone, minding my own business, when out of nowhere that robot ambushed me. I thought I was done for, but then he showed up and saved me.

"Hey, are you okay?" The blue hedgehog's jade-green eyes turned to where the pink hedgehog had fallen to the ground.

"Ugh. Yes, I'm fine, that robot didn't know who he was dealing with," the girl responded, putting her hammer away and getting up. She brushed herself off and turned to nod at the fellow. "I owe ya one." She stopped when she got a better look at him.
"It's no problem," replied the hedgehog. The girl's heart began to race at the speed of sound. She gazed into those deep eyes green as emeralds and sighed to herself dreamily. It was love at first sight. Wow, he's amazing! She blushed and looked away shyly. "My name's Amy Rose. What's yours?"

She felt as though she could melt when he flashed her a huge smile and winked. "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," he said, giving her a thumbs-up.

~End of flashback~

Amy awoke from her thoughts and realized a smile had spread across her face. Just thinking about Sonic could make her heart leap. He gave her such a warm and happy feeling inside. She only wished he could return her love.

Amy sighed. Her happy feeling melted away. She was almost positive Sonic had feelings for her. He may have acted nervous around her and sometimes even ran away, but Amy knew it was only because he loved her too. But every time she and Sonic started getting close, something always seemed to keep them apart. Amy had tried everything. She had given him a bracelet, she had tried to make it to his heart by going through his stomach; she had even gone so far as to pretend someone else was her boyfriend to make him jealous and even attempted love spells. But nothing ever worked. She wondered if he would ever give in and admit his love to her.

Sonic always does manage to come through, Amy thought. Whenever she was in trouble or in danger, Sonic would always rush to the rescue. She thought of the many times Eggman had kidnapped her or a robot had tried to destroy her. Just when things seemed bleakest, Sonic would dash on the scene and rescue her just in the nick of time. He's never let me down before.

But somehow, discouragement continued to weigh down Amy's heart. She realized Sonic would have done the same thing for any other friend of his. She bit her lip, feeling tears prick the corner of her eye.

What if Sonic only thinks of me as a friend? What if he doesn't like me? she thought desperately. What if he thinks I'm annoying? Maybe he hates me. Amy paused. And even if he did like me... Why won't he tell me?... What if Sonic will never tell me how much he cares for me? Will I ever hear him say "I love you" to me? Amy clenched her fists and squeezed her eyes shut. The thoughts and questions flooding her head were frustrating her. She really hated feeling so stressed and confused. She was desperate to know whether or not Sonic the Hedgehog had feelings for her. She couldn't just rely on assumptions. She wanted to know the truth.

"Sonic," she whispered. Somehow her feet had brought her to the same street where Sonic lived. She wondered for a moment why she had come there. Perhaps it was fate. Perhaps it was her destiny to find out the truth if Sonic liked her or not that night.

Taking the chance, she headed for Sonic's house.
