Title: Far Away
Ch. 1: Enjoying the moments
Sonic and Amy lay on the smooth grass under the great oak. Beautiful flowers and sunlight surrounded them. They were laughing and giggling during their conversations and just smiling at each other when there was silence. They were as close as friends as ever. They stared at the clouds in the sky, relaxing and enjoying themselves. "Sonic, thanks for bringing me here!" Amy said in the sweetest voice Sonic had ever heard. "No prob!" He said and smiled. "Your so sweet!" Amy said. Sonic blushed and Amy started giggling. "I wish everyday was like this" Amy said sitting straight up and looking down at the lazy Sonic. "Me too. Its so peaceful with you" Sonic said. They both smiled at each other the whole time. Sonic looked upon Amy's beauty while Amy enjoyed how Sonic was now paying very close attention to her. It was like a dream come true until...
A week later...
Everybody was gathered at Tails' house. They were having dinner together like they did every week. While Cream and Cosmo cooked, everyone was in the living room chatting and having a good conversation. "So I've been working on this new invention!" Tails said happily. "Really? What?" Knuckles asked. Tails smiled in pride. "This invention allows a person to see their lover! A.K.A The person that they care about the most" Tails said. "It's not done yet though. It needs a few adjustments." Then the phone rang. "I'll get it!" Cosmo called out. Cosmo got the phone and answered it. "Hello?" Cosmo answered. The person on the phone sounded like a businessman. "Yes, is there an Amy Rose that I can speak to?" The man asked. "Yup!" Cosmo said and called Amy who was beside Sonic as always. "Yeah?" Amy asked. "There's a person who wants to talk to you" Cosmo answered. The room silenced. Cosmo handed Amy the phone. "Hello?" Amy said. "Really?... No way!!... I can't believe it!" Amy sounded excited until the person said something else. "Huh?... What?... ... I can't leave here. It's my home... Okay... I'll think about it. Bye." Amy said and hung up. Sonic went up to Amy whose face was sad and disappointed. "Ames, what's wrong?" Sonic asked. "Well, do you know that job I've always wanted? To be a singer? Well, they heard some of my songs and offered me to post a record deal. It's just... ummm.." She sounded nervous. "It's in New York. But their offering a free apartment and paid bills and everything it's just..."Then she paused. She could see Sonic's sad eyes. He didn't want her to leave but then he wanted her to be happy. "Go" Sonic answered. "Huh?" Amy asked. "Go, follow your dream." Sonic said. "When do you leave?" He asked. "They asked if I could leave tomorrow morning" Amy answered. Sonic couldn't believe this. His best friend leaving him and her other friends. "Are you okay?" Amy asked. "I-I'm fine" Sonic answered. "Just do whatever makes you happy" Sonic lied as he tried looking into Amy's eye's but couldn't. "Thank you, Sonic" Amy said. Amy was on the urge of tears. She looked around at her friends whom faces were sad, then looked at Sonic, who was the saddest. Amy then looked down at the ground.
Dinner seemed quiet with no one speaking. Everybody seemed down, including Amy who had to leave the first thing in the morning if she wanted the job. She had to leave dinner early to go and pack for her trip to New York.
Amy was at her house packing yet going through memory lane at the same time as she passed by pictures and great memories from the past that made her smile, but her heart hurt. She came across a picture that warmed her heart yet made it ache. It was a picture of her and Sonic, both happy and enjoying themselves when they were at the park together just about a month ago. She saw Sonic's smiling face and gazed at it. 'Why must I leave? Now?' Amy thought with her eye's still fixed on the picture. She then looked at herself. She looked happy. She looked like she was having the time of her life as her and Sonic both were on separate swings holding hands. Amy's thoughts were interrupted from a knock on the door. She laid the picture in her suitcase gently and then made her way to the front door. She answered it to see Sonic standing there with a fake smile. "Hey Ames. May I come in?" He asked in such a polite way. "Sure" Amy said and let Sonic in. "I'm just packing at the moment" Amy said and went back to folding and putting clothes into her suitcase. Sonic didn't speak for a while but then spoke up. "So, ummm... Are you excited?" Amy couldn't quite answer yes directly. "Kinda, I mean. To leave Tails, Cream, Knuckles, Cosmo and you behind is... Well, disappointing." Amy answered. "How long are you going to be gone?" Sonic asked. Amy sighed heavily. "I really don't know Sonic" She answered. Sonic's face turned worse as he heard this. This was painful for Amy as well. "Do you promise to keep in contact?" Amy asked. "Promise" Sonic said. Amy sat down next to Sonic on her bed. Sonic placed his hand over hers and asked, "Do you wanna hang out tonight?" Sonic asked. "I don't know Sonic. I have so much packing to do and-" But Amy paused and looked at Sonic who gave Amy the puppy dog look. "No! NO! NO! Sonic! Not the puppy dog face!" Amy said. "Please" Sonic said knowing that his puppy dogface always worked on Amy. "Well, uh... ummmm..." Amy couldn't do anything but to say yes. "Please" Sonic repeated once again and Amy gave in. "Yeah, sure!" Amy said. Sonic grabbed Amy's hand and they flew out the door...
