Chapter 1
The Beginning- Where it All Starts
Amy stepped out of a tall gray apartment building late at night. Her bangs covered her eyes, but you could still see her tears dripping down her cheek. The cloudy sky casted shadows on the streets around her. It slowly started to drizzle. Amy didn't move an inch, she just stood there in the rain. She didn't care about the rain, her mind was focused on something else. A strong wind passed her, and blew her red headband out of her hair. Her hair fell longer. She still didn't care. Her spine shivered, making her slightly jump. "That little witch!" she screamed out to the unusually empty streets. She rubbed her tearful eyes, and slightly stepped forward. Amy could still remember the evil snicker Sally gave her when Sally announced that she was dating Sonic. Amy's step turned into a run. She kept her eyes tightly closed as she dashed through the empty city streets. She stopped running when she reached a black gate. It was all black except for the gold unicorns standing on the top. Amy hastily took out a set of keys, and opened the gate. She ran through the gate, and then she stopped to look at the city. She slowly closed the gate door behind her and ran into the park. The storm grew. Amy's fur was damp, and pressed on her skin. The trees hovered over her, into the dark of the night. Amy started to run as fast as she could. She kept on running till she was deep in the dark forest, and she couldn't see any part of the city, or anything that would remind her of Sally and Sonic. She fell to her knees and started to bawl. Ashe yelled so loud that it seemed to eco. Her head started to pound. She put her hands to her forehead. The pain was overwhelming. She then collapsed on the ground, as the rain started to pour even more. A figure approached Amy.
Tails walked over to Sonic and questioned, "Where's Amy? She could be anywhere." Sally got up from the blue couch. " Who needs her anyway?" Sally signed, "Sonic come on, this is such a waist of time." Sally was tugging Sonic's arm. "Bu, But this is my house." Sonic wined. "I know, but you've gotta take me home, it's only polite." Sally pulled Sonic out of the door and slammed it in Tail's face. Sonic was as solid as stone. He was very confused. He didn't know what came over him, but his conscience kept on making him feel very nervous. Sally dragged Sonic all the way to her house. She gave him a hug and then closed her door on him. He was in the same position the whole time. Knuckles pulled up in a car. "Hey Sonic. Whatcha doing in the rain? Come on hop in." Knuckles groaned. Sonic and Knuckles weren't really the best of friends. They just helped each other out occasionally. Sonic finally snapped out of his stage, and opened the car door and he got in. Sonic looked out of the window the whole ride. Then he just walked to his house. "Last time I do him a favor!" Knuckles grunted. Knuckles drove away. Sonic plunked down on the couch. "Oh, some friend you are." Tails yelled at Sonic, "I hope you're happy. You don't even care about your friends." "Well Amy's a useless friend, she too much trouble than she's worth! Why do you care anyway! It's too bad we have to share this stupid apartment!" Sonic yelled back. Tails stamped off to his bedroom.
Amy woke up in a den of some sort. She was lying on a couch and was covered with a velvet blanket. "Huh? Where am I?" she coughed. She looked around the room. She saw a fire crackling. "Last time I was in the woods, what happened?" Amy thought aloud. A gold cougar entered the room. She had soft light blue eyes and long black hair that was in a braid that rested on her shoulder. The figure walked towards the couch, and then she stopped and put her hands on her hips and smiled. "Now that you're up, would you mind tellin' me why the heck you were in the pouring rain?" the cougar asked excitedly. "I really don't know, I just don't wanna see the city again! Who are you? Why did you care? No one else cared about me," Amy sighed. "Why? Why wouldn't I? It doesn't matter to me who you are. I couldn't just leave you there. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I'm Mikirae. Now, what about you? Who are you?" The gold cougar stated. "I'm Amy. I ran in the forest to start a new beginning. I wanna be as far away from Sonic and Sally!" she screamed. Just please be my friend, cause I have none now." Amy whispered. Mikirea was puzzled. "Um, rewind, and explain. I'm totally confused." she questioned. Amy explained the whole story to Mikirea. Don't worry Amy, um, wait a sec, what's your initials?"
"A for Amy, R for Rose, and T for Thorn."
"Okay then, I'm gonna call you ART. K?"
"Cool!"
"As I was sayin', Art we're gonna make Sonic change his mind about you."
"Huh? How?"
"You'll see."
They hung out in the forest, and Mikirea taught Amy how to run faster, and how to deal in the forest, and how to dress different. Amy changed a whole lot.
