Chapter 1: Trouble at the office

In the principal's office…..

"Silence! Both of you!" the principal demanded.

Sonic and Amy immediately shut up. "Now please," she put her hand on her forehead, "would the two of you just calm down."The quarrelling hedgehogs took a deep breath, and exhaled. The principal turned to Amy, "Amy rose, tell me what 'REALLY' happened."

"Well Mrs. Mirage, this is what happened….."

Amy began telling the story…..

Earlier this morning….

Amy was walking with Rouge and Cream. They were carrying a bag field with bottled waters. They were given the task to assist the soccer players during their practice for the oncoming game.

"Are you sure this will be enough Amy?" Cream asked.

I think so," she eyed the bag she was carrying, "but we can still go back if it's all gone."

Then out of nowhere, a soccer ball was flying towards them. Unaware, Ay was hit on the back of her head, causing her to lose her balance and crash on the ground dropping the bag of battled water she was carrying.

"Amy!" Cream exclaimed.

"Amy is you alright?" Rouge asked with the same expression.

They helped Amy stand up. Cream held on Amy's right shoulder while Rouge took hold on her left and her stomach. Amy was in a complete mess, there was dirt on her blouse and her skirt and on her socks and face. Her friends dusted the dirt away, and picked up the bag she drooped. She wiped the dirt on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the soccer ball that hit her a few feet from where she was. Angry, she slowly walked towards the ball and licked it up and squeezed it hard.

"Who…does..this..belong ..to?" she said squeezing the ball, very much angered by whoever hit her.

Her anger was even more worsen when someone she hated appeared admitting he was the one who kicked the ball.

"S-S-S-Soooonic," she muttered grinding her teeth.

"Wow, dumb luck ha pinky?" he said with a slight laugh, "I didn't expect that the ball will hit you, I guess you're a magnet to all things bad."

Sonic's laughing made Amy even angrier. Suddenly, her vision started to grow dark; all she could see is Sonic, laughing at her. Her anger is slowly taking over her; she gripped the ball tightly and bared her teeth, it almost look like she had actual fangs.

"You really think that's funny?" she asked furiously.

"Sort of," Sonic answered with a chuckle still unable to get how much danger he is in.

"Well Sonic, I think this one; will really burst you into tears,"

Sonic was still unable to get it. Suddenly Amy stepped backwards and gathered all of her force. Without hesitation, she aimed at Sonic's face and threw the ball at it. Sonic had no time to react, it happened all too fast, so before he knew it he was hit square on the face. He fell on his back and the ball stuck to his face.

The ball carved a mark on Sonic's face, the description of how painful it was, was seen on his face.

"What was that for!" he yelled pulling himself together.

"Playing innocent," Amy confronted him, "I think we both know what that was for!" she shouted pointing at his face.

They each glared at each other snarling. Not wanting their friend to get into a fight, Cream and Rouge tried to restrain Amy to what she may do and convinced her to leave. Amy wouldn't listen to what her friends were saying, her rage was dominating her mind. All she could think at the moment is how to make Sonic pay to what he did. But her friends didn't give up; they kept on talking her out to leave the situation.

"C'mon Amy let's go," Rouge said holding her left arm.

"Please Amy, this will just get you into trouble," Cream pleaded

Taking a deep breath, Amy decided to go with her friends; she didn't want to cause trouble, so she picked up her bag and went to the soccer field. Hey left Sonic who was still glaring at her, soon he walked towards the direction they were going. As they walked, Amy didn't notice a bottle fell from her bag, Sonic was behind them and didn't notice it as well, so without this knowledge, he stepped on it and tripped. He fell to the ground again, he let go of the ball causing it to bounce on the ground and hit Amy rose once more. She also fell on the ground and her anger rising again. Furious, she stood up and gripped her hands and slowly turned around to face the blue hedgehog.

"You're still not satisfied," she said grinding her teeth and her hands shaking with fury.

Sonic stood slowly, "Hey that was an accident!"

"Like the first one!" she shouted; her anger increasing.

"It's not my fault the ball thinks you're a bulls eye," he said in a defensive way. Then his expression turned into mockery, "well your head does look like a target, considering its pink, right pinky!"

"Don't call me that!" with a loud cry, Amy threw her bag at Sonic and tackled him and they fought.

"See Mrs. Mirage? I'm the victim here," Sonic said trying to appear faultless.

"Victim? You mean convict!" she shouted.

"If there's anyone to be called convict here it's you!"

Sonic was getting closer to Amy and Amy was getting closer to him as well, until both their eyes locked on its each other and their noses touched, but not in a romantic way, more in a ' I'm not afraid of you' and trying threaten the other kind of manner.

"Me, you started it!"

"It was an accident, I was practicing!"

"On my head?"

"No!"

"Yes you were, blue!"

"No I wasn't, pink!"

"ENOUGH!" the principal shouted at the same time pushed them aside.

"I don't know which of you to believe," she turned to each of them. "I don't care whether what your reasons are, all I know is both of you are responsible that some uninvolved soccer players were hit by those bottles, you so carelessly threw at each other, so both of you gets a punishment equally."

The principal sat down and composed herself, she turned to Sonic, "Sonic, you will not be allowed to join your team during practice." Sonic stunned in disbelief and mouth opened up. "What" he exclaimed.

"As for you Amy Rose, you and Sonic are assigned to take care of the school library every afternoon after class."

"What! Every afternoon, I can't I-" she abruptly stopped before she could complete her sentence and looked away.

"You have what?" the principal asked slightly suspicious.

"Nothing," she answered not looking at her principal.

"That's all her punishment!" Sonic yelled standing up in a protesting way, " that's not fair!"

She raised her right hand immediately shutting Sonic up. "I'm sorry but my mind is made up, no more of your excuses."

There's nothing they could say to make their principal reconsider. "You may go," she gestured towards the door.

The two hedgehogs stood up and walked towards the door, Sonic walked first and Amy followed behind him. He opened the door but didn't hold it for Amy; he closed it before she could even take her first step outside the office. Amy narrowed her eyes and opened the door herself, "What a gentlemen," she muttered with sarcasm.

Outside the office, Cream and Rouge was waiting for Amy. When she got out they approached her.

"So?" Rouge asked.

"Not well," she replied in a weak voice.

At the same time, Tails and Knuckles were also waiting for their friend and approached him as well.

"So dude, how did it go" Knuckles asked placed in the pockets of his pants.

"Library duty," he answered irritated.

"Well that's not so bad," Tails said trying to cheer him up.

"And… I'm not allowed to join soccer practice," he added.

"Now that is punishment," Tails said changing his tone to a surprised one.

After the conversations of each side, they parted away and went left. After their departure, Sonic and Amy took one last glance at each other and the same time exchanged glares.
