The New Year's Spiral

Chapter Two

It was only a few weeks after the New Year day, and the air still felt renewed.

Amy felt sure that at least one of her resolutions would be met that year…Sonic was going to be hers, she could feel it!

At the same time, she really hoped to show her love as well by helping out the town and all.

She had asked the people a few times what they needed repairs on, but truth be told, she didn't know how to do any of that.

She was going to save her money for the parts so someone else could fix it, but unfortunately some new items in the mall called to her, and she answered with a yes.

But after all, it was only the third week of January, so she did have plenty of time! A whole year was left- and that was exciting!


A few more weeks passed, and she was going to visit Rouge's new apartment.

Upon knocking on the door, she could hear footsteps coming towards her.

The door opened, and Rouge welcomed her inside.

It was small, but functional and Rouge had definitely spruced up the place with a few ornaments.

It seemed all of her furniture had some kind of bling to it; even the sofa had shiny pillow covers.

They both took a seat on the said object.

"Gee, Rouge, it looks like you've already got started on your resolution."

Rouge laughed a bit. "Well, none of these are real, of course…I keep all of the real ones in the bedroom."

Amy's ears raised in surprise. "Oh. But you actually do already have some?"

"Yeah, I'd feel pretty terrible if I didn't get a headstart on it, after all."

Amy looked out of the window, trying not to leave a hint that she hadn't really…done much. "Oh. So, what else have you been up to?"….


As soon as she got home, she wrote on a notepad the words ,"Get Started" and pinned it up on the fridge.

It was too cold to start that day, of course, but she'd be sure to remember it on another- and soon.

She made her way back into her living room- which was now organized for the new year. Not knowing what else to do, she decided to check to see if Sonic had e-mailed her. (She really knew he hadn't, but she always hoped she'd be wrong).

Instead, though, all she found was a few promotional e-mails, and a spam.

With a sigh, she turned her laptop off and decided to get some early sleep.

She walked to her bedroom, and then opened her closet to find some pajamas. That changed, though, when she spotted a case of makeup she hadn't seen in awhile (and almost never used).

That gave her a totally different idea. She was going to try out some different eyeshadow, and see if any were suitable to get Sonic's attention!

So that's what she did for half of the night.

The next morning was a little less cold, but by then she was much too tired to go out to town.

A/N: So, this story isn't going to be how I usually like to do stories, and the chapters are really short. I apologize if you don't like that about it, but like I said…this is really just a short little New Year's story I wanted to do. (And I have another story I'm writing a chapter for, so…yeah).

Thanks!
