Chapter 1: Heartbreaking
A blue hedgehog with emerald green eyes ran through the forest. He ran faster than any other creature on Earth. He had a big smile on his face. He then rolled into a ball and Spin Dashed like lightning. Normally, he would just go out running for fun. But today, he was on a hunt to find his girl, Sally Acorn. She was a chipmunk with blue eyes and red hair. Sonic-the blue hedgehog- had received intel that she was in the forest and decided to go looking for her. He loved Sally, and he knew that she loved him back. So, he wanted to spend time with her. Now that Amy had stopped chasing him and given up, he finally accepted her as just a close friend and was able to be with Sally. With no complications between them.
He skidded to a stop when he heard giggling. He recognized one of the giggles as Sally's and grew happy, but then he grew unhappy when he heard a male chuckling in time with her. He followed the giggling and traced it down to a clearing in the woods. When he pushed the bushes away, he saw where the giggling was coming from. And when he did… he was horrified!
He saw Sally alright, but he also saw a brown monkey with blue eyes and a cape. It was Khan! The terrifying part about all of this was that they were holding each other. They seemed to be entranced by each other. Sonic's emerald eyes shrunk and his mouth was wide open in shock. What was going on here? "So, uh, if you're not doing anything tonight, wanna go on a date?" Khan asked in a whisper to Sally. She giggled and said, "Yes. I will… I just have to tell Sonic about… you and me." Khan nodded. "You think he'll be okay with it?" Khan asked. Sally shrugged. "I hope…" she whispered, looking down. Khan looked at her and tilted her chin up. Both of them stared into each other's eyes, enchantingly. Then, he pulled her in for a soft kiss.
Sonic felt his heart shatter like broken glass. Why did Sally do this? 'I thought she loved me…' he thought, tears welling up in his eyes. As they released the kiss, they both said, "I love you…" in serenic voices. Sonic's shattered heart pieces lifted themselves up and stabbed him all over. His tears dripped and ran like a faucet that would never stopped. He couldn't hold it in anymore!
"Sally!"
Both Sally and Khan jumped in shock and looked over where Sonic was. They saw him crying and shaking. "S-Sonic?!" Sally exclaimed. "H-How could you?!" Sonic snapped, clenching his fists. "I-I can explain!" she stuttered, reaching out for him. "There's nothing to explain!" Sonic snapped, swinging his arm down in anger. "You cheater!" He then turned and ran off before Sally could answer, his tears flying behind him. "Sonic!" the ginger chipmunk called, starting to follow him. However, she was halted when Khan grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "Khan!" she protested. "Let him go." the brown monkey said. Sally exclaimed at this. "He needs some time to calm down. If you go after him, you'll just get in trouble." Sally was about to object, but then she sighed in defeat. She agreed that Sonic needed some time alone. Still, she felt guilty.
Sonic continued running, not caring where. How could Sally do this to him? 'I thought she loved me!' he thought over and over again. He didn't even care that as he was running, the twigs and mangled branches were scraping his legs making them bleed. He didn't care that he was crying out in the open. He barely cared about anything anymore. He had just lost the love of his life to a monkey! 'She could've at least told me sooner!' he thought in angst.
He opened his red-rimmed eyes and saw he was heading towards a cliff. He tried skidding to a stop, but then-! "Wah!" He slipped off! However, he was able to grab the edge to keep from falling. He looked down in fear. There were sharp, pointed rocks at the bottom, not to mention water. He tried pulling himself up, but it was a fruitless effort. He gulped. 'Am I… gonna die?' he thought in fear, looking down at the perilous scene below him. He was about to try and pull himself up again, but then thought, 'Why should I save myself?' his grip loosened on the edge of the cliff. 'Sal will probably be better off without me… Besides… I don't see any reason to continue living on...' Just as he was about to let himself fall, he felt a warm feeling on his hand. He gasped and looked up. He saw a glove covered hand holding his tightly. 'Who's…' He then heard a familiar voice say, "I've got you!" He exclaimed as his blue quills blew in the breeze. Then, the mysterious savior pulled him up. When they did, they pulled a little too hard and caused Sonic to fly a little and he landed on top of a body. He opened his eyes and pushed himself up. He looked down and saw a female pink hedgehog with three bangs protruding from her head, her eyes were closed as well.
"A-Amy?!"
Amy opened her jade green eyes slightly, then they widened in shock and saw that Sonic was now on top of her. Both hedgehog's blushed. "Sonic!" she exclaimed. Sonic quickly realized what he was doing and got off of her. "S-Sorry!" he quickly said to her. "N-No, it's fine…" the pink hedgehog girl replied. she shifted her eyes away for a moment then returned to stare at Sonic.
Later…
Amy took Sonic on a walk. He explained what had happened with him, Sally, and Khan. "I see…" Amy said, hanging her head slightly. "So, now what are you gonna do?" she inquired. Sonic sighed and his ears drooped. "Mourn, take cyanide, cut my wrists, drink bleach." he replied, his green eyes clouding up. Amy gasped and looked at Sonic with a sad expression. "Sonic! Don't say that!" she pleaded, reaching for him slightly. "Why not?" he asked in a monotone voice. "I lost the girl of my dreams who didn't even bother to tell me beforehand that she was with some other guy." he clenched his fists in anger. Amy sighed as her ears drooped. Although she had given up chasing him, trying to make him her boyfriend/fiance/husband, she promised that if this ever happened, she would NOT give up on him as a friend. "You know… Maybe this all happened for a reason." she pointed out. Sonic sniffled and looked at her with a tearstained face. "W-What?" he asked, his voice breaking off. "What I mean is, maybe it just wasn't meant to be." Amy explained. Sonic jolted slightly. When he was with Sally, he loved her and she loved him. He never once thought if they were really meant to be together, his love for her was strong. He saw no reason why they wouldn't be 'meant to be'. However, now maybe, Amy might've been right. "Heh…. guess not…" he whispered, cheering up a teensy bit. Amy half-smiled and moved closer to him. She then grabbed his arm, making him exclaim slightly. "A-Amy?" he stuttered. "Sorry, just trying to comfort you." she said, looking the other way. Sonic blushed and looked at Amy, who was looking ahead and walking in perfect sync with him. 'She's so nice to me, even though in the past I've totally ignored her affections for me…' he thought in awe. He didn't understand how Amy's mind worked, but for some reason, he wanted her comfort.
The two hedgehog's soon came to Amy's house. They both stared at it for a while then looked at each other. "Well, I'm home now, so, I might as well go inside." Amy said, trying to diffuse the tension. Sonic nodded. Amy walked up to her porch and turned to Sonic one last time. "Have a good evening!" she said politely with a wink and a smile. Sonic nodded and said, "Y-Yeah…" Amy smiled reassuringly at him. Sonic thought about something for a bit. He thought that if he stayed at his house alone, he would be a danger to himself. A part of him wanted death, but the other wanted something else. He thought about his decision twice, thrice, and even 4 times, and finally he made up his mind. He took in a deep breath and said, "Amy!"
She turned to look at her azure friend. "What is it?" she asked. "I, um… this is kind of embarrassing, but…" he stuttered, rubbing the back of his head. Amy tilted her head slightly. "Uhhh… can I stay… with you for a bit?" he asked. After the last words escaped his lips, he flinched and looked away. He was worried what her answer would be. If he was talking to the Amy Rose of the past, she would've said yes and tied him up in the bedroom. But this was the now Amy Rose, and he didn't know what she would say… There was no response for a bit. Sonic sighed and took it as a no and started to walk away.
"Okay."
Then, he turned back to look at Amy, who was now inches away from him. "What?" he asked her. "I said "okay"." she repeated. Sonic's eyes widened. "Though I must ask, why?" she continued. Sonic sucked air in through his teeth. "Well, I don't think it would be safe for me to be at my home alone. After what I said about wanting to take cyanide and all that." the blue blur explained. Amy looked at him in realization. "Right! Why didn't I think of that?" she mumbled under her breath. "Huh?" Sonic asked. "Oh, nothing." she lied. "But yes," she continued, "you can stay with me. At least, until you feel like yourself again." Sonic looked at Amy. He used to think she was kind of annoying, always wanted him to love her. But now, she's so sweet and not annoying. 'I wonder what caused her to change?' he wondered. But then, he stared into her jade green eyes, they were so warm and sparkly. He felt warmth rush to his face. "Hey, Ames?" he said. "Yeah?" she replied. "Can we go inside now, it's getting kinda cold out." he requested. Amy's eyes widened in understanding. "Y-Yeah, okay." the pink hedgehog agreed, turning and heading towards the door.
As she was unlocking it, Sonic gripped his chest, where his broken heart resided, he could've sworn he felt a piece of it go back into place.
Hey, new story series. I'm working on a new story called Next Generation Adventures. It's basically a bunch of adventures following the children of the characters of my favourite franchise's Sonic, being one of them. I'll do this for other couples before I post the first chapter of Next Generation Adventures so you know how their children came to be. Not just Sonic. But also Sakura Trick, My Little Pony, Vocaloid, and others.
R&R!
