Chapter 2: The Best Day Ever?

At 7:00am I woke up this morning, wait… 7:00am! I'm late! I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I ended up missing shooting the strawberry flavored toothpaste on my PJ's T-shirt. "Gosh I'm so late!" I sputtered while brushing feverishly. I rinsed my mouth and dashed to my closet. "What to wear! What to wear! WHAT TO WEAR!" I thought frantically. "Pink! No too obvious. Black! No too dark! Green! What am I thinking! Blue! Perfect!" I chose blue jeans with neon designs on the bottom and the belt, matching with a light blue shirt saying in neon "I'm super-powered" with gold wings on the sides and a halo on top, a blue jacket, and a kind of blue checkered French hat, and had matching blue neon sneakers. "Perfect! Now all I need is some breakfa…" "Ding-dong!" "Oh crap!" I cried frantically and ran downstairs. I opened the door to see Sonic, who looked pretty cool on an orange sweater, black jeans, and orange sunglasses. "Hey Amy! You sure look really nice today!" Sonic commented while gazing at me up and down. "Wow she's so pretty, and so innocent, with her eyes, lips, and body, I'd like to have all that… wait! What am I thinking?" Sonic thought to himself.

"You don't look so bad yourself, Sonic!" I said quietly. "Wow he's so tall! His eyes are so dreamy, cute!" I thought without noticing we were staring at each other for a long time. Finally, we broke away from our awkward silence, I turned away blushing. "So you ready to go?" he asked. "Sure but…" my stomach growled. He laughed "That's okay! I didn't have breakfast either!" I showed him to the living room and I made us some pancakes and French toast, which Sonic wolfed down. I giggled on how much he like my cooking. "What's so funny?" he asked over a mouthful of pancake and syrup. "Nothing! Except you look like a hungry 10 year old without food for three days!" I chuckled, while he pretended to look hurt. "Well excuse me, princess!" he crossed his arms and turned the other way.

"Calm down, Sonic! I was only kidding!" He looked at with another mock frown, and then started eating again, slowly this time. We ate; watching track (Sonic's favorite sport) then went outside. "Come on Amy! It doesn't take that long to get a purse!" Sonic waited impatiently, as I came in a huff. "Huh! Sonic why are you rushing me!" I looked at him quizzically. Sonic, trying to look innocent said "Naw! You know me, always in a hurry!" I rolled my eyes and gave him the "I don't believe you for a second!" look.

Sonic stared hard at me then finally confessed "Okay, you know Sally and I are a couple, right? Well, I never told her about us going together, because she'll think I'm cheating on her okay?" I crossed my arms, "Fine I'll keep this our little secret!" I smirked. "I could get closer to Sonic without Sally even knowing about it! Then when I have proof she's not a real damsel in distress, Sonic will be with me again, but only if he wants to…" "It's a deal then!" we shook hands and got in his car. "Wow!" I gazed at the inside, "I didn't know you had luxurious taste!" I stared at all the fancy gadgets, the sunroof, the GPS (with internet), a built in TV with cable, and DVD player, a massage chair as the driver's seat, front and back!

"Sonic this must of cost a fortune!" I exclaimed. "Actually Tails upgraded it for me, no big deal! I like to ride in style!" he revved up the engine, backed up and sped full speed to Chaos Island. It's amazing Sonic didn't even get a ticket! Then again, he goes fast all the time and nobody dares to complain. Meanwhile Sonic turns on the radio, switching stations. Once we found a country station we both groaned. (No offense to people who like it!) He turned and asked "You don't like country either?" "No! It seems a bit boring to me and… I don't know I just don't like it that much," I told him. "Me neither, it' just not my style," he agreed. He went to a station playing a song called "3" (by Britney spears). "Ohhh! I love this song!" I squealed. "It seems okay to me," Sonic shrugged. Before I knew it, I was singing along to the song without thinking.

"You sing pretty well for your age! Nice," he complimented. "Yeah, well I practice," I replied, flattered. We got to Chaos Island as soon as it opened, registered for tickets and went through the gates. It was amazing! Everything was set up in neon lights. All the different rides, from the smallest to the most twisted, all for the riding! (Now don't u take that the wrong way!) "It looks just like Casino Park and Bingo Highway!" "So which ride do you want to go on first?" Sonic asked. "Ummm, I don't know maybe… Oh! There's a ride that even says "Bingo Highway" right there!" I shouted. We gazed at the humongous blue neon roller coaster, all tracks ignited in color and made similar like a pinball machine. The sign at the entrance of how tall you must be (both passed the line thank goodness!), how fast it goes (100 mph!) and how long it would take (30 minutes!)

"So… are you sure you want to go on this ride?" Sonic tested me, smirking. I gulped some air and declared "Yes I do! I'm not the girl I was 2 years ago!" "You can say that again" Sonic thought to himself while looking up and down again. While gazing at her chest, he could feel a mall bulge in his pants. "Oh crap! Why do I feel this way?" Sonic shook his head. "I really have to stop before I start two-timing!"

"Next!" the ticket-person shouted. "You're up!" Sonic encouraged. I gulped again, and stepped inside what seemed like a pinball-shaped cart (neon blue), Sonic, was right beside me. We buckled our seat-belts then there were the little things sort of like vests that automatically clung to you from the top. (I don't know the word okay!) "Ok folks get ready to hang on to your seat at the beginning of the ride and please don't try to vomit… we just cleaned up this ride! And 5…4…3…2…1…Go!" "BOOM!" A burst of energy shot us forward and already people started screaming their heads off, including me! Surprisingly Sonic just crossed his arms; it was like he thought we haven't moved yet!

"SONIC! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" I hollered over the wind. "IT'S JUST I'VE BEEN SO USED TO THESE KIND OF THINGS IM PRETTY MUCH BORED!" he hollered back. It was just then the ride suddenly went underwater. I, as usual was screaming over the cork screws and springs, Sonic, however, wasn't enjoying himself. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he screeched, quills flying everywhere. "WHAT'S THE MATTER!" I yelled, half-laughing, half-screaming. "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THIS RIDE WAS GOING UNDERWATER?" he screamed, as little tears flew out of his eyes upward.

"OHHH, LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE TAKING OFF THE PIN-BALL!" I roared. I was right too, the halves of the pin-ball were getting ready to let go. "WHAT!? NOOOO!.... GAAAAA!" Sonic roared as his mouth caught in water. Now only the seat was off and we were all underwater, hanging on for dear life while the cart twisted and spun, upside-down and back again. It felt like a giant washing machine hurtling bodies back and forth. Sonic looked like he was going to faint when finally the water drained and the seat belts automatically let go of their restraint. Dryers above with one swift of heat dried our clothes like nothing happened. I was so jumpy; there was no mistaking it for a seizure. Sonic… well puked green stuff all over the floor. "Ewwww!" people gagged and ended up barfing too. "Awwww that's just nasty!" someone shouted from behind (resemblance to Cleveland's voice in Family Guy) "C'mon Sonic let's get you to the restroom, I whispered soothingly as I "carried him" to a nearby bathroom. Sonic breathed heavily as he hung his face over the sink.

"Pant…pant… uhhh! That was some ride! Let's go to another one!" he immediately perked up when I laughed so hard I held my stomach. "What?" Sonic half-smiled. "You should have seen you face when we went underwater!" I half-screamed, making an imitation of him blowing bubbles and waving his arms. Sonic, who usually finds lots of things funny, thought he was being challenged. "Ohhh, I see! So that's how it's going to be then!" he sneered, "This time it's my turn to choose the next ride!" he grinned and turned to walk away. I followed him, not as cocky a before. We went to the center of the park to look at the map. "Does everything in this amusement park always have to be so lit up?" I asked a stupid question. "Apparently since its getting dark," Sonic looked up at the sky, now purple and orange. "What! We only been through one ride that lasted thirty minutes!" I complained. "Ummm, not to burst you bubble, but the sign said three hours!" Sonic explained, checking his watch. "What the fuck!" I shrieked, eyes turned to stare. "You mean to tell me we wasted part of the whole day on one ride!" "It's not all bad Amy, we still have some time left before the park closes, and by the way it's still my turn to pick a ride!" "Uh-oh!" I gulped again. "Alright! I choose this ride!" he pointed to a roller coaster called "Sky Troops" (from Shadow the hedgehog.)

"Ok, this ride doesn't look to scary!" I pointed out. "Are you sure about that?" Sonic gestured toward a grey sign which read:

To ride this ride you must form a release form stating we are not responsible for death or injury. Also this ride includes real explosives and guns from "Shadow the hedgehog." That means fake aliens, real robots (reprogrammed but tend to malfunction) and real battleships (with of course, turrets.) We hope you have a thrilling time riding this coaster. Hope you are dying to ride this ride! LITERALLY!

I stared at the car. All it was was a seat made to look like Shadow with rockets on the back and sides. "Wait as se! We're not flying are we?" Sonic practically tried to stop from laughing. "Sonic are you sure we should be doing this kind of thing? It all seems too dangerous to me!" I whimpered. "Relax, Amy, I'll protect you if anything goes wrong, 'kay!" he smiled his trademark smile. I managed a small grin "Sure whatever you say," and we hopped inside the Shadow-cart, after signing the forms with a strange green hedgehog. "You know the ticket person looked oddly familiar," Sonic mentioned as we were hovering. "You might be right. I can't help but think we saw him before, it just doesn't ring a bell yet," I wondered out loud when we took off.

We came upon at some starting point of the hover-coaster. A voice echoed out of a intercom at the top. "We hope you enjoy a death-defying experience on "Sky Troops" a voice cackled. "Once again we are not responsible for death or injuries so please enjoy!" the huge maniacal laugh boomed. This was creeping me out a little too much! First there's a familiar, creepy ticket guy and there's this "evil" voice on the microphone! This looks like one of Eggman's death traps! Well it's a ride! How could Eggman get past a high-security ride! Unless… "Sonic…" I began, but I was too late. The cart boosted forward and a total war scene appeared! Eggman war ships were everywhere around floating, grassy temples with Black-Arms-Alien-like robots and Eggman bots running waddling shooting each other. My screams were muffled by explosions of turrets blasting explosive fire balls in our direction. We nearly got hit by all of them, I sighed with relief… but just too soon a fire ball hit the front of our cart and we went spiraling out of control toward temples and battleships. The hover-coaster surprisingly stayed in flight.

"Hold on tight!" Sonic roared, hugging me tightly. "Why?" I asked frantically, wide-eyed. "Cause I have a feeling we're about to go DOOOOOWWWNN!" he screamed, increasing his grip on me, when the cart blasted downwards crashing into a temple wall, and getting smacked silly by robot-alien gun rays. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" hurtling through warzones, fireballs, and red lasers, missing us by inches. Out of nowhere fake blood shed of humans lied on the temples. Head rolling, body parts, you name it! My face turned apple green, ready to fall off this death trap. For fake effects they looked real all the same, so I buried my face in Sonic's chest, wanting to see not more. Sonic wasn't doing so well either, his cheeks blowing up, and he bended over the side. BANG! Something pelted our way on the front, making the coaster slow down, like a car running out of gas… and stopped. We looked into each other's faces for one last second, and we hurtled down to Earth like a meteor. "SHOULD I SAY BRACE FOR IMPACT?" I screamed. He caught a glimpse at the ground, which was by the way getting larger by the minute. "UH, ON SECOND THOUGHT WE SHOULD JUST SCREAM!" he roared. At that moment the seats automatically ejected us out of the cart that exploded in to scrap metal.

"Whoa!" we yelled bouncing safely in a large, white cushion. "Congratulations! To the first people to ride "Sky Troops"!" an announcer yelled. Just then screaming crowds cheered as we both got off the cushion. Both of us looked like a hot mess! Me, with my hair sticking straight up and clothes askew, Sonic the same except twice as bad. We laughed at our stupidity, it was only a ride! "I can't believe we thought we were going to die!" "We? You were close to shitting your pants!" he mocked. "Yeah like I haven't felt anything wet when we fell from the sky!" I countered. "And fro being the first to ride" the announcer interrupted "You get a free ticket to the Casino Wheel! The largest Ferris wheel ever made! Over 300 feet tall!" More cheering bellowed when we were escorted to a giant glowing, multi-colored neon Ferris wheel. "This looks like a charming spot." I examined all the wonderful colors as we ascended upwards. For a moment's hesitation I said "I really had a great time Sonic," I faced him with a sweet smile. "Me too, it was fun…" he sighed. "It all seems like a dream," I whispered, falling asleep.

(Sonic's POV)

"Yeah, just like you…" the words escape me. I blushed a little and looked at Amy who was asleep. "She looks like a cute doll, all innocent, pure, and… why didn't I see that before?" I didn't realize what I was doing but I inched closer…closer…closer… and kissed her gently, softly, yet passionately, and hugged her close. I yawned and fell asleep. It was a long way down…
