Sonic was very worn out from his all day adventure with Tails. Before the two could say a word to each other, a figure started charging towards the two. "SONIC!" Screamed Amy as she ran right into them. "What the-" Sonic let out before being tackled by a pink hedgehog. "WHERE WERE YOU?! YOU PROMISED! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FORGOT!" Amy pounded her fists against Sonic's chest. "I-I was out with Tails!" Sonic defended himself from his demanding friend. "Some excuse! How could you forget?!" Amy stopped herself. "Or were you just avoiding me?"
Sonic stood there with a stupid look on his face, trying to think of a good excuse. Sadly he couldn't think of anything. "That's what I thought! YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!" Amy pushed Sonic and ran the opposite was crying. She was always over dramatic. Sonic let out a sigh and gave Tails a look that read, 'thank goodness that's over'. But Tails felt a different feeling. He always wondered why Sonic treated Amy poorly. Sure she was clingy, but this just did not settle right.
He didn't want to get into their business but it really bothered him. He wanted to figure out what was with Sonic when it came to Amy. "What were you supposed to do with Amy today?" Tails asked. Was it just another one of those forced dates type deal? "Well, I was supposed to bake a pie with her," Sonic explained. "But I chickened out because I'm not a good baker."
"Oh, well she seemed pretty upset if you ask me. She must have really wanted to bake with you," Tails said, hoping his friend would start to catch on and feel guilty from his poor actions. Sonic merely shrugged. He knew Amy would forgive him sooner or later, like she always did. "Nah she'll come around."
"I guess so," Tails decided to agree with his best friend. Baking a pie couldn't be such a big deal anyways. But little did he know, it meant everything. Things between the two were gonna get heated.
Later in the day, the gang were in Tails' Workshop just hanging out. Of course Amy was sitting as far away from Sonic as possible. Knuckles and Tails found this strange. "So uh, lovely weather we're having right?" Tails mentally slapped himself for the dumb icebreaker.
The group stayed silent. This was very awkward.
After some more silence, Knuckles had enough. "Amy, stop being a baby!" He shouted out of pure frustration. "And Sonic, apologize to Amy for whatever it is you did!" Tails almost choked at the sudden blunt outburst. Amy pouted and Sonic rolled his eyes. "I'm not accepting any apology. Not from him." She turned her head more away from Sonic. "Good cause you're not getting one! I don't see what's the big deal!"
Amy's eyes watered a bit more. He just didn't get it, did he? Any time spent with Sonic was a big deal to the pink hedgehog. All she wanted to do was bake with him. Was it too much to ask?
Tails frowned and turned to his best friend. "Just say you're sorry." Sonic sighed. He knew he had to do something to make her happy again. Before he could speak, Knuckles interrupted him. "What happened between you two anyways?" Knuckles asked quickly. He wanted to know what made the pink hedgehog so ticked. She got mad over some things, but this was a little different.
"Sonic and I had a date planned this afternoon and like he always does, he 'forgot' and left me baking all alone!" She cried in despair. "It's like he doesn't like me anymore! I do so much for him but he rarely does anything for me!" She burst out into sobs and dramatically crashed her hands over her eyes.
"Well suck it up! I'm sick of this already!" Knuckles' voice almost shook the house. The three looked at him with stunned wide eyes. "Shouldn't you not be surprised by this Amy?! It feels like this happens everyday!" Knuckles finished his outburst by crossing his arms, red in the face from frustration.
Amy was so hurt by Knuckles' words that words barely escaped her mouth. "H-How could you?! Wouldn't you be upset if someone you loved didn't like you the way you thought they did?!" She turned away not looking at Knuckles in the eyes. "It's not my fault you're undateable!" Amy let out a final breath and somehow managed to wipe her tears. It looked like Knuckles was about to explode so Tails cut in.
"Um guys! We're getting off topic!" He uneasily laughed as Knuckles and Amy glared at him. "I don't care! I'd like to see why Amy thinks I'm undateable!" Knuckles raged while Amy huffed. "There's no question about it."
"No question?!" Knuckles was about to lose his mind. Amy smirked as she knew she was getting to him. "Yeah! You're not even close to as hot as Sonic! He's super dreamy!" Her eyelids fluttered as she imagined her and Sonic on the beach holding hands together. Knuckles was both extremely angry and offended. "What makes him so special?!" He motioned towards Sonic who meekly smiled.
"Well he's just utterly flawless! There's just too much to say!" Amy's eyes almost looked as if her pupils were switched with big red hearts. Sonic on the other hand felt out of place while being confused all the while. He didn't know if Amy was still mad or not. She was just too busy obsessing him like always.
Before he got too offended, Knuckles tried to boost his own confidence. "Sonic is not any better than a guy like me!" He stated and puffed out his chest. Amy laughed right out loud which caused Knuckles to growl in anger. "What are YOU laughing at?"
"How you're in denial!" Amy giggled again. "you're just too hot headed to understand." Knuckles had enough. "I'm not hot headed! I'm way more dateable than Sonic could ever be in his entire life!" He yelled right in Amy's face. She was not fazed by this. "End of discussion!" He finished with the little confidence he had left.
Tails had no idea what to do or say at this point. He knew he had to stop them from fighting so he tried his very best. "Let's go out and try to find the chaos emeralds before Eggman does!" He started lamely. Amy and Knuckles were having none of this crap. "Stay out of this Tails!" The two shouted. "This is just between me and Mr. Hothead over here!" Amy added in.
"What did you just call me?!"
"Mr. Hothead!" Amy repeated right in Knuckles' face just to infuriate him more. She knew that if he ever tried to lay a finger on her, she could just rely on her hammer. "You wanna go pinkie?!" Knuckles got right up in her face as well. Amy summoned her hammer. "Bring it! fighting me won't prove anything! Sonic will still be better looking than you and always will be!"
Sonic stared at both of his fighting friends. "Kay guys, cool it." He said. Surprisingly, both Amy and Knuckles froze in their tracks. "I'm sorry for running out on you today." Sonic thought he sounded really pathetic but it was something he needed to do in order for no one to get hurt. "Really?!" Amy dropped her hammer and instantly got a little to close to the blue hedgehog. "Do you really mean it?"
Sonic sweat dropped. "Uh of course, I guess I lost track of time."
Amy's eyes were shining. Could it be? Did Sonic really care for her feeling? She took that as a yes and glomped him out of pure joy. "Oh I knew you cared about me!" She cried out while Sonic could only hope this wouldn't last too long. While Sonic was getting buried by Amy, Knuckles was still furious from the fight earlier. Was he not as attractive as he thought? He suddenly felt embarrassed, not that he would ever admit it of course. How could he gain his sexiness?
Before Sonic was able to get out of Amy's death grip, he managed to squeeze out the door. "Why does this bother me anyways?" Knuckles said to himself as he stormed away from the workshop. It was only Amy's opinion. Yeah, what did she know? She had no taste in guys which explained why she was attracted to Sonic.
"I'll just get a date to prove it. Amy will have to eat her words."
On his walk Knuckles encountered a coffee shop and chose to go in. He entered the shop and quickly glanced around the room. His eyes landed on a beautiful purple cat. She seemed decently intimidating but Knuckles was beyond caring. He approached her with full confidence. "Hello there." The cat looked up at him. "Not interested."
The red echidna ignored her rudeness and took a seat beside her. "The mysterious cat just sat silently and drank her coffee. Knuckles cleared his throat and began to speak. "Look, I need to prove something and I'll help." He cursed himself for sounding so desperate. The cat just stared at him with absolutely no emotion.
"Alright alright. Names Knuckles. I'm a professional treasure hunter and guardian of the master emerald." He said which made her pay more attention. "I'm blaze. At your service." She said with a smirk and they shook hands.
Feeling good about where this was going, Knuckles smiled. "Nice to meet you Blaze." He was then going to explain his situation but as he thought about it, the more embarrassed he got. He decided to play it cool. "How about you come with me to my friend's place?" To Knuckles' surprise, Blaze actually nodded. Why was she being okay with him after being so cold earlier? But whatever the reason, Knuckles didn't care. He needed to prove Amy wrong.
Knuckles and Blaze walked into Tails' Workshop shortly after they finished having their drinks. Blaze looked around the house out of curiosity but stopped at a picture in a frame. It was a picture of a certain duo who were pretty familiar. As if on cue, Sonic and Tails followed by Amy walked into the room.
Locking eyes, the two gasped. "Blaze?" Sonic and Tails both exclaimed astonished. The cat was shocked as well. She thought she would never see them ever again. "Who's this Blaze of yours?" Amy quickly butt in feeling competition.
"Oh she's with me." Knuckles walked into view and stood beside the purple cat. "Long time no see boys!" Blaze greeted them. Both Sonic and Tails couldn't wipe the smiles off their smiles off their faces from seeing their long lost friend. It then hit them. Where did she come from? Why was she with Knuckles? Greetings had to wait.
"Wait, where did you and Knuckles meet?" Tails asked in pure curiosity. Knuckles had a full sly smirk on his face. "Blaze and I have a date to attend to." Knuckles peered over at Amy who looked very shocked at his new friend.
Shaking her head quickly, Amy just scoffed. "Oh who cares? I have a date with my Sonic." She clung to him to show domination. 'That girl is weird.' Blaze thought but decided not to let it get to her. After her fight with Marine, She really wanted to try to stay friendly and think positively.
"Yeah and where to?" Knuckles started prodding around, getting every last bit of detail. "Only the most finest restaurant of course! I'd love to see where you take Blaze." Amy sneered and then closed her eyes with satisfaction.
"It just so happens that I'm taking her out to a fancy restaurant as well!" Knuckles declared with pride. He could outdo Amy and impress Blaze at the same time. Sonic, wanting to catch up with Blaze and to not be alone with Amy in a restaurant, asked the most dreaded question. "Hey, why don't we both go out to the same restaurant?" Both Amy and Knuckles shouted, "WHAT?!"
Blaze nodded. "Sounds good to me." Before Amy could retort, Knuckles grinned widely. "Of course! A double date would be an awesome idea!"
