Quill:"Once again Willowpelt12 does not own any Sonic characters. She only owns me!" ^-^
Me:"Thank you Quill. Heres a cookie!" *Hands him a cookie*
Quill: O.O "YES!" *Scurries away into a corner with cookie* "Nom nom nom!"
Chapter 2: Helping Hands
Amy happily walked to where Tails lived. Tails had a house at the Mystic Ruins and it didn't take too long to get there. The twin tailed kitsune was always happy to have visitors and she always shared her problems with him. After all Tails was usually the one to help renew her hopes of winning Sonic. But this visit was going to be different, since she was wondering if she should just give up completely on Sonic. Thinking about Sonic her ears flattened against her head and her gaze travelled to the ground.
Reaching the door she softly knocked and waited for someone to answer it. A moment later she was greeted with a yellow fox with light blue eyes. As Tails recognized the pink hedgehog before him a smile spread across his face. "Amy!" He exclaimed as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.
"Hey Tails," Amy replied as she was led to a big couch. Sitting down, her eyes took a quick glance around the room but everything looked the same as always. However, Tails had some oil stains on his gloves. Most likely from the Tornado no doubt.
Tails instantly noticed the far off look in her eyes and how she didn't seem as bubbly as usual. Deciding not to beat around the bush he bluntly asked,"Whats wrong? Is it Sonic again?"
Amy bit her lip and looked down at her hands that lay in her lap. "Sort of. It also involves another hedgehog I met," she replied flatly, refusing to look up at him.
"Alright tell me everything. Did anything happened with this other hedgehog?" The young fox asked as he took a seat next to her. He wanted to help her since she was like his sister. As she began telling the story he listened intently, his eyes observing her closely.
"Anyway I was wondering what you think I should do? I love Sonic but I think I have feelings for Quill too. I don't want to lose one of them just because I made the wrong choice," the pink hedgehog confessed as her story came to an end. Her biggest fear was that she wouldn't pick the right one and the other one would be out of her life forever.
Tails seemed lost in thought for a moment but finally spoke,"We'll. You don't have to choose yet. Why don't you hang out with Quill and see what happens. Be his friend and learn about him." Instantly her expression seemed to brighten as he spoke,"After some time you should be able to tell who you really like."
"Oh thank you Tails!" Before he could get away Amy jumped up and hugged him in a death grip as she repeatedly thanked him. When she finally released the poor Kitsune he was gasping for air. "I'm sorry Tails," she giggled seeing his blue face return to its normal shade of yellow. "I'll keep you updated on what happens. Bye!" Her voice faded as she ran off back toward town.
Tail's POV
Well that was strange but I'm happy Amy is opening some options. I still think her and Sonic are meant to be but maybe she should see other people. I let myself smile as I watched the small pink dot vanish over a hill. But before I could close the door I noticed a blue streak...running...straight...at...me. Oh boy...
I felt a body slam into mine and I remember seeing a pair of shocked green eyes as I went airborne. Luckily my tails seemed to have a mind of their own as they began spinning, causing my body to slow down and barely stop myself from slamming into a wall. Drifting down slowly I glared at the blue hedgehog who looked at me with an embarrassed smile.
"Heh sorry Tails. I got lost in thought and forgot to stop." Sonic explained as I rolled my eyes at him. Sometimes I wondered how he remembered to tie his own shoes in the morning.
"Sonic that is the third time you have done that." I managed to say calmly but you could sense my veiled anger,"The first time I hit the wall and I had a bump on my head." Using my hand I pointed to the spot where my injury had been. "Anyway why were you running so fast? I know Amy wasn't chasing you."
Immediatley his eyes lit up and began to roam my large livingroom. "Is Amy here?" Sonic said rather quickly and his voice was laced with excitement.
I couldn't help but smile at how he was acting. He was beginning to sound alot like Amy. "You just missed her Sonic. Amy left to go hang out with Quill."
It was like someone had taken a knife and stabbed his ego as his ears went back and the excitement left his face entirely. I couldn't help but jump slightly in suprise as he let out a loud growl. "S-sonic? Is everything ok?"
Sonics head snapped up as if he was yanked out of his thoughts," Sorry little bro. I just remembered something I need to do." Without waiting for me to reply, he was gone in a flash of blue. Leaving me standing there dazed. What just happened?
Normal POV
Knuckles was sitting in his usual spot guarding the Master Emerald, or M.E. for short. Normally the island was quiet and peaceful. Making it easy for Knuckles to just sit there and think. Most would find his job boring but he was used to the solitude. Sadly, his alone time was interrupted when a certain hedgehog appeared.
"Knuckles! I need your help!" Sonic practically whined out as he reached the red echidna.
Letting out a soft growl of annoyance Knuckles opened his eyes. "What do you want hog? I am trying to relax!" Somehow Sonic always found a way to annoy him. They weren't exactly friends, more like friendly nemesis's.
Of course the cobalt hero had to act like he was hurt by Knuckles comment. Lifting his hand he placed it on his chest where his heart was. "I'm hurt Knucklehead! I came all this way to ask for some advice and thats the greeting I recieve. Even Shadow would have a warmer greeting than that."
Smirking, Knuckles couldn't help but let out a small chuckle," I doubt that. Shadow would greet you with a chaos spear to that fat head of yours." A frown soon replaced the smirk. "So hog what do you want?"
Feeling defeated Sonic sat down infront of his frienemy while crossing his arms, just like Shadow. "Well. It seems Amy has taken a liking to another hedgehog. His name is Quill."
Interest sparked in violet eyes as Knuckles leaned backwards, hands behind his head. "So? I thought Amy was a nuisance. Unless," he looked at Sonic with a smug look,"you have feelings for her?" A loud laugh followed as the guardian placed his large hands on his knees,"I knew it! You like her!"
"S-so!" The blue blur stuttered as his cheeks were a bright red. "You like Rouge!"
It was the red ones turn to blush and he looked away. He responded with anger like the hot head he was. "Th-this isn't about me!Anyway! Before I was so rudely interrupted!" He shot the hedgehog a glare as he noticed him open his mouth to speak. Taking the hint Sonic closed his mouth. "I think you need to go and prove to Amy your the one for her. Which means..." he grabbed Sonics head yanking it forward. "TELL HER HOW YOU FEEL!" Sonic reeled back in pain as Knuckles nearly busted his eardrum by yelling right next to it.
"Jeez Knuckles! No need to yell right in my ear! I'm not deaf!" He grumbled as he rubbed his sore ear. Deciding that was all he would get from the guardian he gave a swift farewell before speeding away.
Amy's POV
Reaching the city I quickly began my search. My first stop was the ice cream parlor. He wasn't there but there chocolate fudge sundae was amazing. Too bad Quill wasn't a girl or I could check the shoe store and maybe buy a cute pair of shoes but I doubt he would be in there. Quill where are you? By a stoke of luck I felt a hand grab my shoulder. My first reaction was too whirl around and smack whoever was touching me with my purse. With a scream I flung my purse full force, hitting the strangers head. It was then I realized the stranger was light blue fur and quills. Slowly my purse fell from his face revealing hazel eyes. Oh no! I just smacked him with my purse! He is never going to talk to me again!
My whole face was hot from the blush that covered my cheeks. "Oh Quill! I-I'm so sorry! I didn't know who you were and I was afraid it was a burglar or something!" Wow I sound lame! I should leave before I make a bigger fool of myself.
Whirling around I was about to walk away before I felt his hand lightly grab my arm. "Wait." Quill said not releasing my arm,"Its ok. I shouldn't of grabbed your shoulder like that."
I hadn't realized I had been holding my breath until I let out a sigh of relief. He didn't think I was dumb. Turning to him I smiled and began to rock on my heels. "Quill," I began feeling like a school girl," I was wondering if you would like to hang out with me?"
Those beautiful hazel eyes seemed to shine at my suggestion and I found myself staring into his eyes. It took me a moment to realize he had accepted my offer. Unconsiously a smile broke out across my muzzle and I couldn't stop myself as I giggled like an idiot. "Ok! How about tomorrow? We can meet at the ice cream parlor at 12 o' clock."
I knew my heart skipped a beat as he nodded his head. I wanted to scream but that would surely scare him away. I like Quill and I didin't want him thinking I just escaped the psycho house. Soon I noticed I was just staring at him and I quickly tore my eyes away from him. "Well...I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Quill just smiled charmingly at me before I turned and bolted down the sidewalk. One thing I was sure about was, I needed to get my act together. Otherwise he might run away from me like Sonic.
Sonic...I'm not sure if we will ever be together. I guess my dream of us together is just an illusion I had which fate wouldn't allow. I hope you will still be my friend if we don't end up. I'm so confused! Who do I choose?
What did you think? Seems Amy is stuck in a love triangle. I already know who she is going to choose but I'm not telling yet. Please leave a review. You can say what you thought about it or any mistakes I have.
Next time Sonic is going to go to Shadow for advice while Amy meets Quill and tries to figure out what he is really like.
Shadow:"Wait...why do I have to give faker advice or even be in your story?"
Me:"Because I said so. Be nice or I'll have you and Sonic race and make him win."
Shadow:"...fine..."
Sonic:"HA! See Willow likes me! If you were nicer she wouldn't have to threaten you. But...I have a suggestion for the story."
Me:"Oh? Like what?"
Sonic:"Well...I would like Amy to ditch Quill and hang out with me instead!" ^-^
Amy:"Thats so cute Sonic!" *blushes*
Quill:"HEY! This is the only story I will probably ever be in! Let me atleast have some glory here! Anyway I might be who Amy chooses." *glares at Sonic* "Willow hasn't told us who will win."
Me: -.-; "Both of you please stop. I doubt the readers want to hear you argue. Otherwise I'll maybe let Shadow join this love triangle so its a cube."
Sonic and Quill: O.O "Sorry..."
Shadow: *grinning like crazy* "I actually like that idea. I get to beat faker and the other hedgehog."
