I have a secret.
You have to promise not to tell.
I mean it. If you tell...well, let's just say I rather you didn't...
I like her.
You know who I'm talking about.
Amy.
Yeah yeah, I know I act like she's annoying, but y'know...what's a guy supposed to do? I mean, if anyone knew I liked her, they'd tease me forEVER. And ya just don't tease Sonic the Hedgehog.
But...
It's getting real hard not to tell her...
I'm tired of running away from her. I want her to chase me but I don't want to run away. I want her to run into my arms and I want to kiss her and make her feel-
Stop.
I can't think like that.
I can't make that happen.
No.
No, don't think like that!
Think of something else. Heh, I think Tails likes Cream. I'm glad to see he's finally gotten over Cosmo. He still sits with that plant though. I'm not sure if that's healthy or not. But Tails will be Tails. I gave up trying to figure him out years ago. He's just not figure-out-able. (Hey, I made up a word!)
But yeah seriously, Tails really deserves to have someone. Other than me. I know I mean a lot to him, but I'm starting to worry a bit. He doesn't seem to have any friends. I mean, I don't stalk him or anything, but I think he spends all day with his planes or on his computer...or with his plant. See? It's not healthy. I don't wanna talk to him about it though...I don't like being wrong. I think I'll just leave it...if he wants to talk about it, he'll come to me. I think. I hope he does. I don't want him to get all depressed or anything. Hey, I always know what to do about Tails. Me n him've been friends a long. long time. But it's Amy that I don't know what to do about.
Oh great, I'm thinking about her again...
Why does she have to be so beautiful? I wish she wouldn't cut her hair, it looks really nice long, but she's kind of going for the tomboy look, I guess.
Hey...why don't I talk to Tails about it? He'll have something good to say, I bet.
Yeah, I think I'll do that.
Wait.
No.
I can't.
No one can know.
I can't risk it.
It can't get back to her. It can't!
She can't know.
But oh God I want to tell her.
I want to tell her.
I want to tell her.
I can't tell her.
But I want to.
I think I'm going crazy.
I think I need a psychiatrist.
Oh boy.
There she is.
Hey Sonic, she says.
Yo, I say.
We need to talk, she says.
'Kay.
I guess we can do that.
I can't look at her though.
Don't want her to see me staring.
I won't be chasing you anymore, she says.
My heart is racing. The rest of me is completely still. For once.
I found someone, she goes on.
My heart stops.
He's nice. He's smart. He's funny. He's REAL cute, she continues.
Sounds like you lucked out, I say casually. Anyone I know?
Yes, she says.
It's Tails.
I feel like I've been hit by a train.
...Tails? I choke. Instantly I am angry with myself.
I have shown that I care.
Yes, she says. And now you won't have to run anymore. I'm tired of chasing you. I'm tired of caring for someone who doesn't care back. And she walks away.
And I start running.
You have to promise not to tell.
