Chapter 2

"Go Knights! You can fight! Get the goal and do it right!" the cheerleaders chanted as Amy and Tikal stepped onto the field.

"Tikal, what are we doing here? And must we be here while the cheerleaders practice?"

"You like Sonic."

Amy opened her mouth to say something but Tikal put her hand up to stop her. "Don't deny it, everyone knows already."

"Everyone?"

"Well maybe not everyone but, whatever. The important thing is that I know and as your friend I'm not going to sit around and let you be miserable."

"You're not?" Amy said sounding miserable.

"Quit acting so glum, I'm helping you."

"Are you sure that's what you're doing?"

"Yes, now go out there and talk to him!" She said pointing at Sonic who was getting ready to run on the track.

"I can't! Not with Rouge standing right there!"

She put her hands on her hips. "You want to be scared of Rouge for the rest of your life?"

"No."

"Then go."

Amy sighed, knowing she wasn't going to get out of it she slowly walked over to Sonic. When she got over to him he took off on the track. "He didn't even see me," she said sadly.

Silver however did see her. He stepped onto the track.

Sonic skidded to a stop almost running into Silver. "Are you trying to get run over?"

"Someone was trying to talk to you," he glanced behind Sonic and didn't see anyone. "Wait where'd she go?" He looked around.

"She? Don't I have enough girls after me?"

"Yeah but-"

"Later Silve!" He said running past him.

Silver looked at the cheerleaders and noticed a smirk on Rouges face.

The doorbell rang and Vanilla opened the door. "I'm glad you're here Amy, don't worry I won't be long."

"It's OK, take your time."

"Amy!" Cream ran down the stairs and hugged Amy.

"Well you girls have fun," Vanilla said walking out the door.

"We will!" Amy and Cream said at the same time.

"Want to have a tea party with my dolls?" asked Cream.

"Sure!"

Cream grabbed Amy's hand and led her upstairs.

Amy felt sad all of a sudden. She remembered being Cream's age, everything was so simple then. Why did it have to be so difficult now?

Later that night Amy received a call.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hello, is this Amy?"

"Yes."

"Oh good. Do you mind babysitting my son tomorrow? It's been forever since me and my husband had dinner just the two of us."

"Not at all Mrs.…"

"Prower."

"It's a deal then."
