A/N: "Well… I think the first chapter went a bit rough… Hopefully this one'll be better, I'll actually use more than two original characters! As a matter of fact, I don't think I'll even mention a made-up in this one… This chapter's to you, all you diehard original fans!" –Toyz
A blue blur flew by a street in Station Square, followed closely by an orange one, which was hovering a few feet off the ground. They sped along through the city. That is, until the blue blur collided with a pink hedgehog that had been out for a walk. The collision sent her flying about three or four feet away, while the blue one simply stood there, watching. The floating orange object stopped after seeing the hit. Three recognizable sights: Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Amy.
"Ow! Hey, Sonic, that really hurt!" Amy protested, in her high- pitched, whiny, and just plain annoying voice. She stood up and dusted herself off.
Sonic apologized, thinking up an excuse so that he wouldn't be stuck having to listen to his little admirer again, "Oh, sorry. Hey, look, I'd like to stay and chat, but me an' Tails are going to go… Ummm… Work on the Cyclone, you see? So, We need to be on our way…"
Amy ran over to him, "Oh! You never have time to talk to me!" she gave him a big hug, "Come on! Let's go out and DO something!"
"What? Hey, get off!" Sonic protested as he shoved the little pink nuisance off of himself. She quickly clung onto him again, and that's when it happened. He'd had enough of it, she was annoying, and that was it! She'd been bugging him for so long, now, and it was obvious he didn't like her, so why didn't she just leave him alone? Out of anger, he shouted at her, "QUIT IT! I don't like you that way, Amy! Hell, I don't like you at all! Lay OFF!" She seemed to get the message, and released him, staring up, blinking a few times, probably to block tears.
Having her eyes finally opened to the truth hurt, "Sonic, I… I…" She didn't finish her sentence, and quickly ran off in the opposite direction to her home. Sonic was sort of stunned at the reaction his outburst had triggered.
Tails gave him a mean look, "Well, at least you got her off your back… But, anyway, were you really gonna' help me work on the Cyclone!?" He looked excited, almost forgetting about Sonic's anger towards Amy. It was rare that Sonic actually did anything with Tails these days, especially if it had to do with mechanics…
"Ummmmm… Well, maybe later, Tails, I just remembered that I had to do something… I'll catch up with yah' tomorrow, okay?" He lied, staring down at his shoes.
"Oh… Okay… Right, I'll see you tomorrow!" Tails always managed to keep a happy demeanor, despite the fact that he was actually very let down that Sonic wasn't going to hang out with him today. The kawaii little fox spun his tails again, taking off from the ground and flying towards his workshop, while Sonic ran off to his own house…
Meanwhile, on the floating island…
Knuckles the echidna glanced around with a yawn, bored. He sat on the stairway that led up to the master emerald, staring off into nothingness. It was so boring on the island. Sure, it was his duty to protect the master emerald, and he did it well, having saved it multiple times already, but that didn't mean it was fun. As a matter of fact, he had begun to wish that the job of protecting that accursed oversized diamond had never been handed down to him. Since he was old enough to do so, protecting it was the only thing he could do. He had to eat, sleep, drink, play, talk, and live the damn thing, and it was starting to get on his nerves. He had no life besides the master emerald! He wanted to go out and do something besides just sit there. The only time he ever did get to leave was when it conveniently broke and he was forced to find all the pieces and put it back together. He wanted to go out and make friends, pal around with somebody, have some fun. But no, he was tethered to this stupid island all because of his ancestors and their precious little prize. Bah! Knuckles wished one of his ancestors was there right now, just so he could tell them right were they could stick the thing!
"Gah… Sonic doesn't realize how good he's got it…" the red one thought aloud. It was sort of true, looking at things from his perspective. He'd never been loved, not really. He was a loner his entire life, not even remembering his parents. His lifestyle had built him up into a heartless male sentinel, he really had no emotions. It was simply, protect the master emerald, when it gets destroyed, find it and rebuild it, help people that help you to complete your mission. It wasn't until about a month ago, when the emerald was broke, that he really discovered what emotions really were. So much happened that quickly that changed the way he thought. Rouge the bat, for example. She was cute, very cute, in his opinion, but stubborn and stuck-up. He did save her that one time, though. But it was only because of the master emerald pieces, or so he kept telling himself. She had thought otherwise, but he ignored it at the time. Then, there was Sonic and Shadow. When it came down to it, they were the only two that could stop the FinalHazard. As Knuckles cheered them on with the rest of the onlookers, he realized a thing or two about friendship. Now that's what he wanted. Friends. To be loved. It wasn't too much to ask, was it? But nooooo, that stupid emerald! That's when the idea hit him… What if the emerald were to 'conveniently' break again? Then he could go out into the world again, without violating his ancestor's wishes, or at least, so he thought… He walked up the stairs, and was level with the emerald. He stared into its large greenness, pondering for a bit. It would only take one punch…
SMASH!!! Well, that did it. Just one mighty collision between knuckles' fist and the emerald, and it was shattered to pieces, which flew to different parts of the world. He's finally get to go out again…
