Disclaimer: I do not Own Sonic the Hedgehog or Amy Rose or any Sonic Team related characters. If I did I'd get Shadow and Amy together! -not the thing to say in a Sonic x Amy fic huh o.O

A/N: This is written for Chaos Shock because he asked me to do a Sonic x Amy fic. This is for you Chaos Shock... -Pained expression for no Shadow x Amy-ness- And I apologise for the constant use of pictures in my stories. I'm basing it on personal experience, pictures of the past hurt.

Dedicated

Chapter one

Amy sighed and passed her finger over the glass of Sonic's picture for the third time in twenty seconds. Why didn't he like her? Why couldn't she make him love her? Why wouldn't he notice her? A small tear ran down her cheek as these thoughts were rushing through her head. Sonic was her hero, although he knew this Sonic's relationship with her was purely friendship, nothing more, nothing less. It annoyed the pink hedgehog immensely. She had chased him for years and yet all he did was let her hug him and fight with him. She had once tried to ignore the blue hedgehog, but try as she will, she failed. During that time, he'd done so many nice things for her. She'd lost the battle, but the war in her heart was still going strong. Tears spilled from her eyes over the picture she was staring at. In the picture of the blue hedgehog, he was standing winking at the camera with his thumbs up. One of the only nice ones Amy had. She had others that had a nice picture of him, but it was mostly in a group photo that she had taken. She longed to get one of her and Sonic together. But he never stood still enough for her to set up the camera and then get in the shot with him. He was just too damned fast. Sonic was the one for her, she knew it deep in her heart. She placed the picture back on her bedside table and got up. Amy Rose did not mope. She walked down into her living room, sat on her sofa and thought about what she was going to do today. She wasn't going to chase that hedgehog today. Amy sighed. She really should move on, no matter what her heart says. Sonic was further out of her reach now than when she first met him. Amy decided to go shopping; she had nothing to do anyway. She got up, went around picking up what she needed to go out. She was going to buy herself lovely things, for herself. Not Sonic.

Amy walked into the final shop she could handle for the day. She was already carrying six bags of various sizes with various objects poking out of them. She walked through racks and racks of clothes, looking for something to change her image. Not that she wanted to change permanently; it was just if she got tired of the pink. She wanted something black. Something that completely wasn't her. Something to shock. She pulled out dress after dress after dress. Nothing looked different to what she was currently wearing. She sighed and began to walk out of the shop when something caught her eye. She followed the sparkle and gasped. There infront of her was an ankle length black dress. A smile poured over her face. It was perfect, just the thing she needed. The dress that was going to suit her new self to the tee. Amy grabbed the dress and rushed to the fitting rooms, just to make sure it fit perfectly. She shrugged out of her pink dress and slipped the black one over her head. The silk type material slipped down her, marking every curve with the dark colour. She looked at herself in the mirror and gasped at herself. She wasn't vain; but damn she looked good. Amy quickly changed back and paid for the dress. Smiling, she walked to the door. Happy with everything for once; if not chasing Sonic felt this good, she didn't know why she try it sooner. Forming a plan as she started the walk home.

Sonic ran into Westopolis, lightly wondering why Amy wasn't chasing him. He'd never tell anybody that he enjoyed it. He liked the thought of someone loving him for him and not his fame. The blue hedgehog admired her persistence, but he'd never tell her or anyone he kind of felt the same way about her. Sonic liked keeping himself to himself, not even Tails knew how he felt about Amy. He would tell her one day; when he was ready. As he rushed through the city a flash of pink caught his eye, he skidded to a stop and looked around to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. Sure enough Amy was walking along carrying about six or seven bags. Sonic stared at her. Pretty. He shook his head and he wondered where that thought had appeared from. His gaze went back to the pink hedgehog, something was different about her. What he didn't know, but it seemed her aura and air about her had changed. He hoped it wasn't his fault and if it was; he'd rectify it straight away. Sonic strode up to the other hedgehog in the human ruled city. He didn't know what he was going to say to her, or how she was going to react but he knew it was worth it; just to talk to her. Sonic plastered his trademark smile on his face as he approached her, happily wanting to say hello. As he got closer a shiver ran up his spine, something was definitely wrong.

"Ames" He greeted, Amy stopped abruptly and turned to face the object of her affection for many years.

"Sonic" She replied, Sonic winced she'd said his name so coldly, so un-Amy like. She stared at him with her emerald eyes in a level stare; staring straight into his eyes of the same colour. Sonic shuddered involuntarily.

"How are you?" He asked, trying to get her to give up the stare she was currently giving him.

"Fine thanks. You?"

"I'm alright"

"Good" She said and turned to walk away from him. Dismayed, Sonic went to grab her arm but he was surprised when she turned on his efforts to stop her. He looked into her eyes; he didn't see the love he had once seen. He saw what he could only describe as pain. "What now?" Sonic looked at her sadly. He was losing her. He had to do something. Something fast.

"Would you like to go on a walk with me?" He said nicely, he saw Amy look at him disbelievingly. Sonic knew he had let her down in the past. Let her down badly. There were only so many times a girl could be stood up. His ears drooped, a sad look on his face. He'd lost her.

"Sure" Amy replied. Sonic perked up his ears as he heard her positive response, a smile now etched on his face instead of the sad look. "Under one condition" Sonic nodded eagerly "I want you to give me some distance from now on" Sonic's mouth dropped open.

"What do you mean?"

"After this walk, I want nothing to do with you; Sonic the Hedgehog"
