(Normal POV)

It was a foggy morning. The trees had a bunch of red, brown, and yellow leaves. The ground was now covered in the beautiful autumn leaves. Small children playing in the colorful leaves. Enjoying the fun the piles of leaves could bring to someone. Besides the sounds of laughter, leaves rustling and crunching beneath peoples' feet the park was quiet. It was the peaceful type quiet though. This was the way everyone liked it. especially a certain pink hedgehog. The pink hedgehog was on her morning jog. This was her favorite part of her morning routine. For this time she wore a gray sweater with a navy blue pair of sweatpants and black sneakers. Her name was Amy Rose. She was a sweet 20 year old. She had jade green eyes, that all men fell for and all women would be jealous of, and white gloves with one gold bangle on each wrist. She was walking through the park but them she heard a noise. She had taken defense classes and she knew how to defend herself perfectly well so she wasn't scared one bit. She stood still though, she waited to hear the noise again so she could pin-point the exact location. Then her ear twitched she heard the noise again behind a bush. She quickly took out her purple chaos emerald and yelled

"CHAOS CONTROL!"

She chaos controlled over to the bush. (Shadow had taught her a few months ago. He was surprised she was able to learn it and perfect it in only one month but nevertheless she still did it.) she opened up the bush and saw it was a red echidna. With a white crescent-shaped marking across his chest, a peach muzzle just like her own, violet irises, a pair of red and yellow shoes with metal soles and green cylindrical collars on top, and lastly a pair of white boxing gloves with two spikes coming out of where the pinky and index fingers' knuckles would be. Ironically this echidna's name was in fact Knuckles. He is 24 years old and is like a big brotherly figure to Amy. (along with Shadow but we'll talk about him later!) Amy has caught him following her again!

"Knuckles I told you so many times nothing is going to happen to me if I just take a walk in the park!" said the pink hedgehog to the red echidna . She then murmured to herself, " you're just like Shadow WAY too over protective."

"Sorry Amy it's just I don't want nothing or no one to hurt you, I love you too much to see you hurt, what if something bad happens to you and I'm not there to protect you I'll never forgive myself for what happens to you, you should know that by no." Knuckles said.

"I know Knuckles and I love you too its just that I want to go out by myself and enjoy what nature has to offer!" said Amy cheerfully.

Knuckles noticed Amy always happy when she was outdoors. If she was ever inside she would look like she would go crazy any second. So when she's happy he is too and plans to keep it that way.

"Alright Amy, how about tomorrow I take you out and we could do whatever you want to do, does that sound OK?" asked Knuckles.

"Yeah of course and maybe we could invite the others with us!"

Knuckles nodded. So Knuckles and Amy walked home to start planning and calling the others to their day out. What they didn't notice was a pair of eyes watching them or should I say her.
