Well this is my first sonic story so take it easy man.

Yea, sonic rox, and so do I, so lets like start

Chapter 1: The Speed of Sound

The moonlight shined down on the river, where Amy Rose was sitting on the park bench. She was wearing her normal red dress, with her red and white shoes, with her red headband through her hair.

We all know Amy Rose; cheerful, energetic, enthusiastic, persistent—the list goes on—and, even though she's annoying, she's awesome at the same time.

This is where I cut into the depressing bit—Sonic.

Yep, of course, another we all know—she loves him, follows him, ALWAYS tries to grab his attention!

But he doesn't care, infact, after he saves her, and she shows full loveliness towards him, he just acts as if evil is still there and he's still concentrating on it…

Sonic always thought saving her was enough, enough to make her think that he loved her. But was he wrong? Did she think otherwise? Maybe.

A tear ran down her cheek, followed by many others, and a small puddle developed in the grassy area.

He never saw her, met up with her, visited her …

And if Amy didn't have any other really good friends, unlike Sonic himself, he probably wouldn't save her.

"Full moon …" she whispered to her self. She remembered how the last full moon, just a bit over a month ago, She was walking with Tails and Cream, as they walked past the high school. They were just about to finish the day, and they all saw Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge, Princess Kital and Princess Sally Acorn. They were all talking, and Sonic was always telling jokes to Kital, Sally and Rouge, when Amy ran away, tears in her eyes, hoping none of them saw her.

Rouge did, though, and the next day, her, with her extremely sympathetic mood came round.

Amy put her head in her hands and lost it. Life used to be awesome, until now … every night she'd come down to the river and increase its water level, depressing herself. Her life would be so much better, just if he cared about her …

"Amy, darl' … stop depressing yaself!" a familiar voice said. A bat walked up and sat next to her, putting her arm around her.

"Look at you … It's Sonic again, isn't it? Oh, jeez, girl, he's never gonna like ya if ya keep actin' like this!" Rouge looked at her, as she let her hands go, and more tears strolled down the more she talked.

"But, but … he always says he loves me, or, at least his best mates do, but … you wouldn't think he does!

"I'd get a hold of my self, but it's just … I don't know… no matter how hard I try, at the end of the day, I still like him … I don't know why, but it's just …"

"—Love," Rouge said. "You're only twelve, he's FIFTEEN! What do you expect? He can't hang out with a twelve year old all the time—he doesn't love all the girls in his grade, he just hangs out with them—Cos if he did, there'd be trouble."

"I know, but … what about everything else? Oh, what's the point… I don't know why I bother."

"Just…maybe… loosen up a bit, don't follow him, just say hi sometimes when you see him, maybe then he'll like you a bit more … I don't know—but it could work. Give it a go," Rouge said.

"But—but what if it doesn't work, then he'll never like me—"

"It will work," Rouge said, "trust me."

"Alright, fine ..." Amy said.

"Right—you should get home, it's quarter to ten at night! You need sleep…Jeez, and you do this every night? No wonder you've been sleeping during school lately! Go on, try and have a nice dream … it might help you."

"Okay, fine …" Amy said. She wiped her eyes with her gloved hands, and walked back home.

Rouge stayed there, sighed, and looked down. The grass was wet from the frost of the night, and also Amy's tears. Even though it was the middle of summer, the night was cold.

"Poor girl," Rouge sighed. "depressing herself like that … it's so ridiculous, though …" she flinched.

Rouge heard a movement in the bushes.

'I thought she went home!!' She thought angrily. 'Why on earth would she come back …'

But to her surprise, it wasn't Amy.

It was Sonic.

"Er…Rouge?" Sonic said, sticking out from the bushes.

"What the—oh, hi--"

"Yeah, skip the huge welcome—Tails told me to come here tonight, and I dunno why, but it took me ages, and I got scrapes all over me—so what's so important? I was supposed to be here last night, too, but I—"

Rouge suddenly gasped. "Oh…my…g—Wait, who told you to come here again?"

"Er…Tails and Cream," he said, confused that she was concerned about that, and not his injuries and trouble for nothing.

Rouge remembered how Tails and Cream were with her when she walked past the high school every day after the primary school bell rang.

"Err…did they tell you why at all?" Rouge asked.

"DOES IT REEEAAALLY MATTER?! THE POINT IS, TAILS TOLD ME TO COME HERE, AND I'M HERE, SO WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT—no, they didn't, by the way."

"Oh, great…I BET it is …"

"Whatty what's what?" Sonic said, forgetting he just yelled. See how short tempered he is …

"Nothing. You're not here for me," she said, smirking, "you came here for some one else."

"WHO?!"

She gave a slight giggle. "Well, it's gone."

"WHAT! ALL OF THAT FOR—"

"But if you really wanna know, darl'—check out number 27 Station Square Drive.

Sonic raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine…"

Rouge turned around and walked back to her place, over to the other side of the river, while Sonic took an alternative route.
