Heyooo~ This is my first story! I'm so excited. I've had this in mind for YEARS. And now i can finally upload it! However, my submissions might be a bit slow because of internet, and school. So maybe once or twice a week I'll submit new chapters ^^''
Some notes:
Some characters, like Sally Acorn, are completely OOC. This is for entertainment purposes only
And that's all! I hope you enjoy this SonAmyShad -v-
It was a bright, warm summer's day in Station Square. Everyone was outside, having fun, shopping, swimming, nearly anything to just get outdoors. Everyone except this certain, pink hedgehog. Amy Rose was in her small, but cute home. Steps were leading to her front porch, where before that lays a small garden with plump, healthy green bushes. Inside, you'd automatically see a staircase leading up to various of rooms, on the right a spacy lounge room and the left a clean, white kitchen. Amy was comfortably perched on her rosy red couch, enjoyably reading a 'Sonic the Hedgehog Archie' comic. She was so emerged into the book, that the subtle knock on the door startled her.
"Coming!" she yelled, jumping up from her spot and placing the comic book against the plush cushion. As she opened the door, she saw a all too familiar blue hedgehog.
"Hiya Ames,"
With a squeal, she pounced on the hedgehog into a bear hug. "Sonikku!"
"Ugh, can't breathe!" The hedgehog gasped out, being crushed by Amy. She just giggled, let go, and then dragged him into her home.
"So, why are you here Sonikku?" she asked, hoping that he was here for a particular reason.
He sighed, and trudged behind her as she held his hand.
"I'm not staying here for long, Ames. I'm only here to tell you that I'm going away."
"What? Why?" Amy practically exclaimed. Was he leaving the city?
With another sigh he gently brought her down to the couch, accidentally bumping the famous comic to the ground. He didn't seem to notice.
"Something came up back at our childhood home, Knothole. Looks like Egghead has started up a muck. The Freedom Fighters have called us back to come to their aid, so me and Tails are heading off there soon."
Amy was dumbfounded, and a little hurt. Why didn't the Freedom Fighters asked her to come along and help fight? Wasn't she good enough?
"But... what about me? Wasn't I a Freedom Fighter?"
Sonic, the blue hedgehog, looked as though he had enough and was about ready to leave.
"I don't know Amy," he said while letting go of her hands and sped to the door. "Just stay here, okay? I won't be gone long, I promise." With a reassuring smile and a thumbs up, he sped out the door.
Amy just sat there on her couch, again. This time with an expression of pure sadness. She didn't even bother picking up the comic as she glumly picked herself up and made her way into the kitchen.
"Maybe I'll call Cream, maybe even Rouge to get my mind off things," she pondered to herself as she picked up the white home phone against the wall and dialed a number. It rang a few times before it was answered by her closest friend, Cream the Rabbit. Her sweet, gentle voice asked Amy what was wrong, and she smiled. Cream never missed a thing.
"I'm fine Cream. I just was wondering if maybe we could hang out?"
A pause.
"Sorry Amy, but mum said that I have to stay home and do some chores. But maybe tomorrow?"
"Yeah, okay. Thank you though."
"I'm sorry Amy..."
Amy hushed Cream a reassurance before hanging up. Not giving up hope, she dialed Rouge's number instead; another close friend.
"Hello?" Came a dreary, flirtatious and mature voice.
"Hey Rouge, it's Amy. I was wondering if we could go to the Mall?"
"I'm sorry Amy but I'm..." Rouge trailed off as she looked behind her, who laid sprawled on the couch a red echidna, smirking lustfully up at her. "Busy. Maybe next time?"
Amy hung her head low in disappointment and nodded, even though she knew Rouge couldn't see her. "Okay. Bye."
"Bye hun,"
Lazily placing the phone back on to the dial, Amy kept her head down low. Oh how bad this day was becoming... but she wouldn't let that be all day. Bringing her head back up and straightening herself up, she walked swiftly towards the door and went out. Time to go for a walk.
Most of Station Square is infrastructure, with companies and buildings and shops. But there is a particular spot in Station Square that is filled with green, trees, wildlife and even a small pond. Benches were spread across the small park, and children alike were playing and running around; a small girl bounding up towards her thrown ball. Amy smiled at the sight and closed her eyes, letting the wind blow through her long, beautiful quills. Felt her loose, long red dress glide across her long legs as she took in the nature. She inhaled, then exhaled. As she opened her jade green eyes, her sight laid upon something that was the last thing she wanted to see.
In the distance, she saw her handsome Sonic. And that Sonic was holding a female figure close to his body. This female was a chipmunk that had warm, autumn red hair with a blue vest and boots that went just bellow her knees. Sally Acorn. It wasn't Sally herself that disturbed Amy to no end, but what Sally was having with Sonic. they were both sharing a loving, gentle kiss.
With tears swarming her eyes, she stepped back shakily, not believing her eyes.
"No... no... he lied... he lied!" she stammered while twisting her body and making a run for it. "That bastard!"
Not too far away from Sonic and Sally, was Tails conversing with an old, but close friend. Bunnie Rabbot. They were laughing and walking to meet up with the two lovers.
"It's nice to see you again sugar," Bunnie happily said, with her southern accent. Tails merrily laughed.
"You too Bunnie," he responded before looking up to see a small pink figure running in distress. He had a feeling that he knew why. Turning to Bunnie he made a sheepish face. "Sorry Bunnie, but I think something has come up. I have to go." And before she could respond, he took off. First was running, before his twin tails circulated, and then he took off in flight.
Don't worry Amy, he thought. I'm coming.
Deep in her kitchen, Amy was leaning over an open draw. Staring at the utensils provided. Her thoughts were clouded. Her brain fogged. She wasn't thinking straight. Not thinking at all. Her hand numbly found its way to the knife section, and glid its fingers over one of the knife's blades. She didn't know what she was doing. Didn't know that something had taken over her, that pain flooded through her veins.
No more hurt... no more hurt...
Bringing the knife up and pointing it against her belly. No more hurt...
She brought the knife down.
"Amy!"
A loud 'ting' was heard as the knife was dropped, and Amy finally snapped out of her trance and spun around. "Tails!"
Tails stared at Amy in horror, realising that if he hadn't have come in time, Amy would...
He didn't want to know that.
Amy had burst into tears, and collapsed against Tails' warm, plush chest fur and sobbed; realising too the horror that would have happened.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." she continually whispered against him. Tails just simply held her, feeling slightly awkward but did it anyway for her sake.
"It's alright," he cooed, trying to calm her. "Just don't do it again, okay?" He lifted up her face, trying not to show how uncomfortable he was.
Amy wiped away her tears and pulled away slowly.
"Then what am I supposed to do Tails... I can't deal with this pain..." she trailed off, trying not to think about it and blocking the emotions that boiled up.
Tails thought for a bit, trying to conjure up a plan. He had to help her or else she'd do something dangerous to herself like before. Then a thought struck him, but he was so disgusted by it that his face gave way. Unfortunately, Amy saw it.
"What?" she asked in anticipation. "What is it?"
"Nothing," he answered too quickly, and Amy saw none of it.
"Tell me Tails, for my sake. Please?" she clung to his arms, almost begging. Gosh, she was clingy.
With a sigh, Tails gave in and gently pushed Amy off him.
"You could poison yourself to fall for another. I could help you if you wish if it made you happy."
Tails thought that it'd keep Amy off him, but he was wrong. With out being warned he was smothered by her.
"Oh thank you Tails, thank you!"
Tails tried to keep his composure, but failed and fell back with Amy landing on him.
"Oh I'm sorry!" Amy looked up at him with apologetic eyes. Tails blushed slightly from having a girl on him, and stuttered out a 'That's okay.'
Hours later, Amy had acquired all the things needed for the poison to work. Tails had informed Sonic that he had to run some eras first before making his way to Knothole. Amy was grossed out of what she had to collect: A dead man's heart, an extract of her blood and DNA of who she wanted to 'fall in love' with. Giving Tails the piece of pitch black fur, he added it to the mixture.
The substance bubbled and gurgled, the colours churning together to form a light green. Amy had to pinch her nose to stop her from feeling sick. After pouring the substance into a small tube, Tails reluctantly handed it towards Amy. Amy took it hesitantly and stared at it, as if it held her future. Which it did, in a way.
Looking at Tails in fear, he gave a nod to say that she'll be okay. Inhaling deeply, she took the vile and slowly took in its contents. Not too long after however, her world turned black as she collapsed onto the tiled floor.
Panicking, Tails bent down to Amy and held her. Scanning his eyes over her to see any sign of life, he saw none and began to breathe quicker.
"Amy?" his voice was shaky and uneven. "Amy, wake up. Amy?" He began to shake her, becoming more anxious by the minute. What has he done? Tears swelled at his eyes as he let out a sob. "Amy please..."
Suddenly, Amy's eyes shot open as she sat up straight. Tails was startled and gasped at her sudden movements. "A-Amy?"
Amy looked back at Tails in confusion. "Tails? What on earth are you doing in my kitchen?"
Tails was star-struck and stammered for words.
"I-I... Uh..."
With a giggle, Amy stood up and extended out an arm. Tails took it slowly and cautiously, composing himself and his posture.
"You're so cute Tails," she giggled, and headed towards the door. "Don't you have to go to Knothole with Sonic and the others? Knothole can't save itself, you know!" Amy beamed at Tails. Tails just looked at Amy and slowly walked past her.
"Uh... yeah. I just wanted to bid you goodbye is all." he lied, not sure about the whole situation. Had it worked?
"Aww, you're so sweet!" she said as she pinched his cheek. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"But, what about you Amy?" Tails asked, trying to ignore her pinch. "What are you going to do?"
"Going to see Shadow, duh. What else?" With another giggle she waved goodbye at Tails and took off in search for her 'love'.
Tails was overwhelmed and slumped against Amy's rocking chair on her porch. He took a minute to absorb the events that just happened. He just sat there in complete silence before everything hit down on him like a rock.
"What have I done..."
Meanwhile, a small floating ball had watched the whole situation through one of the lounge room windows. The electronic ball zoomed in on Amy as she drank the green liquid, and a red light flashed on its side. Through the eyes of the ball, watching every movement, was an overweight man relaxing in a floating chair, analysing everything. He twisted and turned his mustache, as an evil smirk slithered onto his features.
"Excellent."
