~Christmas Confessions (Ch. 2)~
Around near the shopping center, the famous speedster, Sonic the hedgehog has been running and dashing past restaurants and shops. He chuckled as he blew people's hats, skirts, food, anything as they thought it was just the windy weather. He stopped near a shop and decided to take a quick rest. He stretched tall and yawned loudly, feeling refreshed and excited at the same time.
"Aah! For an afternoon, this weather feels great!" he grinned. He has been shopping for his friends himself lately and kept running from store to store, to brought them to his home so he wouldn't have bags bringing him down while running. He pulled out his own list and checked a few of them off. "'Kay...lastly, I need to get..." he gulped. "...Amy something..." He usually has trouble buying gifts for girls, especially something for Amy. She loves frilly cute clothing, animals, any of the sort and it would be kind of embarrassing to be seen in a woman's clothing store.
Sonic sighed lightly and stuffed his list back into his jacket pocket. "Man...I wonder how I'm going to pull it off this year...she even gave me a handmade bracelet last summer...but Eggman destroyed it thanks to him..." he grumbled. He brought out his wrist and looked at the newly tied bracelet he placed back together. "When I saved Amy, thank goodness she held on to most of the pieces..."
He smiled and lifted the collar around his neck, feeling it become a bit more breezy. "It's getting colder out here...I'd better go to my last stop and hurry home..." Not too far from where he was, there was a little boutique up ahead, possibly has some of the most beautiful jewelry as he heard. He blushed a bit, hesitating whether he could enter inside. It would be crazy embarrassing if Shadow, or Knuckles could see him shopping for Amy. He looked to his left, no one there. To his right, no one. Sonic took a deep breath, and dashed to the store, closing the door behind him quickly.
"Whew...no one saw me..." He sighed with relief. "Okay...make this quick and head back out..." As he began his search, a few girls about Amy's age giggled and gossiped around the clothing department. A few were staring at him, giving googly eyes and pecking kisses. Just for the fun of it, he gave a quick wink to them, making them faint or squeal. He slightly rolled his eyes and thought, "Gets them every time..."
As he walked past the glittering jewelry behind the glass for protection, one certain necklace brought in his interest. It was a gorgeous gold heart locket with pink diamonds surrounding the edges. "Wow...! I'm sure Amy would love this...!" he whispered. "Maybe I could put a picture of myself inside of it, knowing that she's crazy about me..."
He laughed a little, remembering the times she chased after him, her courage...her smile...Sonic immediately snapped out of her and was in shock with himself. "Whoa...what was that about...?" he asked himself. "Well, I'd better get this before anyone else does..." he glanced at the price and practically gasped loudly. "$200.00?" He exclaimed. "Geez...a bit pricy, right...?" he muttered. "But...buying this for Amy...could be worth it..."
He pulled out his wallet and counted out the money he has left. "Grr...$70.00...maybe if I earn the money, I could be able to buy it on time!" he grinned happily. Sonic zoomed out of the store in search of a job to start tomorrow. If his luck turns out fine, maybe he will get the locket. Or not...
