(Hey, guys, during the two days without cable, I'd thought about the love triangle about Sonic, Amy, and Scourge and then I had an inspiration, so I wrote this. I hope y'all like it and comment it. Thank you and Happy Thanksgivin'!)

Chapter 1: Doubtful Gifts

It was a peaceful day in the beautiful green hills outside the town of Knothole. By a small patch of flowers, Amy Rose and her young friend Cream the Rabbit along with her pet Chao Cheese were picking flowers and making flower-crowns for their friends. Cream had already made two for Tails and her mother. Looking at Amy's delicate and beautiful work, Cream guessed whom she was giving that crown to.

"Is that for Sonic, Amy?" Cream asked, startling her.

"Um, well...yeah..." she answered shyly, her cheeks turning into a light pink.

"I'm sure he'll like it," Cream remarked, positively. "Sonic's always loved flowers."

Staring at the almost finished crown, Amy smiled and said, "Yeah."

Amy was trying hard to be someone Sonic would like and want to be with. For a while, she decided to give Sonic his space, which he seemed to appreciate and made him feel more comfortable around her now. Amy had hoped that keeping this up and giving him nice gifts would make things even better.

Finally, after putting blue and green flowers together to represent Sonic's colors, Amy and Cream and Cheese bid farewell to each other to give their crowns away.

Amy wondered where to find Sonic, but then remembered it was lunch time and she figured Sonic would be eating a chili dog at his Uncle Chuck's. She decided to see for herself and when she got there and saw her blue crush stuffing his mouth with a dog, she felt a little scared now. She was worried that Sonic would think she was stalking him again and be annoyed with her.

Then, she had an idea. She went around the back of the restaurant and knocked on the door. An old blue hedgehog with a gray moustache came and was surprised to see Amy in front of him.

"Well, Miss Rose," he greeted with a friendly smile, "what brings you here, especially at my back door?"

"Um..." Amy started hesitatedly, then stuck out the flower crown for him to see, "would you give this to Sonic for me, Chuck? I'd do it myself, but I'm a little nervous."

Chuck smiled when he understood. "I see, well, I'll be sure to give it to him."

"Thank you, Chuck," Amy replied happily.

Before Chuck could say any more, Sonic from the dining table at the front of the restaurant called, "Uncle Chuck!"

"Perfect timin'," Chuck said, bidding Amy a farewell before closing the back door.

Amy felt really nervous. She wondered if he would accept it.

Bravely, she decided to peek at the window at the front of the restaurant and saw Chuck speaking to his nephew.

"Glad you liked the chili dog, Sonic," Chuck said, then gave a playful smirk, "By the way, someone at the back door came and wanted me to give this to ya." He pulled out the flower crown from behind his back and handed it to Sonic who was amazed to see how beautiful and well-made it was.

The butterflies in Amy's stomach fluttered even harder when Sonic stared at the crown.

Does he hate it? Does he know they're from me? Will Chuck tell him that?

"Wow..." Sonic remarked, his green eyes glued to the crown in his hands. "This is incredible. Who made this?"

"Ah, a young lady. She didn't say what her name was," Chuck answered innocently, looking at Amy who was looking from outside the window and gave her a wink. Amy smiled in gratitude, knowing that he did like the crown she made.

Sonic looked up to ask his uncle who that young lady was, then noticed he was staring at the window and as he looked for himself, Amy took off in a panic.

Sonic blinked at the window, knowing that he'd seen someone go, but couldn't tell who it was... Looking at the crown, it came to him and made him grin, making him go out the door with Chuck smiling as he left.

Amy fled the from the restaurant, wanting to get as far away as possible. Did he see me? Oh, please don't let him know it was me. What if he gets irritated and thinks I was following him? Oh, why didn't I just mail that crown to him?

Finally, she made it home to her apartment, but before she could even touch the doorknob, a familiar voice said, "Hey there," and made her jump and scream. To her amazement and slight horror, she turned to see Sonic five steps away from her porch.

"Oh, hi, Sonic," Amy waved, trying to keep her cool, "What brings you here?"

"Oh, not much," Sonic answered, his hands behind his back. "Just thought I'd drop in and say hi."

"Oh, well, then hi." Amy replied, then laughed awkwardly. "Oh, I just said that already. Well, I'd love to talk some more, but I've got to do something."

As Amy opened the door, Sonic took her wrist, making her turn to him in surprise. "I know it was you who made this, Amy," Sonic told her, showing her the flower crown.

"Oh, you got that?" Amy asked, looking away. "Uh, well, Cream and I were in the meadow and thought we'd make flower crowns for our friends and loved ones."

"Why didn't you come in the restaurant to give it to me?" Sonic asked.

"Because you were eating and..." Amy trailed off.

"And why did you run away?" Sonic added.

Amy turned to him with wide eyes. He knew she was the one Chuck was looking at when he gave Amy's flower crown to him for her. She was very embarrassed and kind of ashamed when she answered, "Because I didn't want you to think I was following you around again. I didn't know what else to do but to ask your uncle to do it for me. But I was afraid you wouldn't like the crown so I had to peek through the window and see, but I was scared when you turned around, so, I..." Amy stopped as she felt hot and covered her red face with her hand.

Sonic carefully slipped the crown on his arm and took his free hand to gently remove hers away from her face. "Hey, you didn't have to be afraid," Sonic told her gently. "I would've known you weren't following me. And I do like this crown a lot."

"Really?" Amy asked, her face starting to cool down.

"Yeah, I mean, this is some real good work," he answered, taking it off of his arm. "And I like the colors."

"Well, I thought I'd use blue flowers since your fur is blue and use green flowers since your eyes are green," she explained.

Sonic grinned, handing the crown to Amy. "Would you put it on me?" he asked.

Amy gave him a surprised look, then took the crown and said, "Sure. Kneel down, please."

He obeyed her request and bent down as she gently placed the crown on his head.

"There, a crown fit for a king," Amy declared.

Sonic stood up straight, giving Amy a grateful grin. "Thanks, Amy." Then, to Amy's complete shock, he leaned in and kissed her cheek.

Amy turned even redder than before and touched the cheek where his lips touched. She just stared at Sonic in wonder, then Sonic winked at her and said, "Catch ya later," then took off, leaving a gust of wind behind him.

Amy watched him go, pulling her hair back from her eyes, and smiled with satisfaction. She couldn't believe that, not only did he not get mad at her, he said he really liked the crown and kissed her on the cheek. She knew that she had done a good job and began to have a brand new kind of hope.

Sonic, who was running from Amy's apartment, smiled to himself, happy with how well Amy was behaving around him now and that she'd made him a thoughtful gift. Then, he realized that he'd just kissed her a minute ago. His own face turned red for a second as he wondered why he did that.

Well, she did do a good job making the crown, so...she deserved something, right? Right?

As he ran, he began to think again about Amy's new more respectful and understanding behavior towards him and his space, and started to smile. She's getting better and better. I'll give her that.

Little did either Sonic and Amy know, someone in another dimension was watching them through a window-portal, a green hedgehog with a hot-rod flaming jacket and red sunglasses who sneered at Sonic's smile while he was running through the green hills.

"'A crown fit for a king'," he mocked, his arms folded. "Hmph, well, then, my little Rose, I suggest you make another crown for a real king..." he said, taking his sunglasses off, reavling icy blue eyes, "because he's coming to claim his queen."
