Amy's Diary
February 1st
Only three days now until the javelin event and I'm really excited for it! Not much happened today. Cream had to go out with Vanilla to get her some new clothes for the summer – why they're doing it this early is past me but still, I suppose it's best to get things like this out of the way as soon as possible. Unfortunately, nobody was around to talk to so I ended up just hanging around by myself at the park. What a boring day.
February 2nd
It's Knuckles' birthday today and he turns seventeen – I baked him a cake. It turned out the grapes Sonic had been carrying around a few days ago were for Knuckles after all. We ended up having a small get-together to celebrate. I spent most of the time talking to Peach, Daisy and Blaze – partially about Mario and Luigi where Peach and Daisy are concerned, and then being questioned about Sonic. We asked Blaze if she was interested in anyone but she just got really moody for some odd reason that we don't know of.
I've got a funny feeling that Sonic's watching me. He spent a lot of the time talking to Knuckles and Tails, but I swear he kept peeking glances over his shoulder at me.
February 3rd
We can't really practice for the javelin now – because the equipment is so expensive and needs to be cared for, we only had two days practice at the end of last month. So there wasn't much left to do. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles headed off to practice with a wooden javelin Tails had made, but… for some reason, I wasn't too keen on going with them today. I needed to get some more groceries anyway, and since the javelin event's tomorrow, I need to get some sleep.
February 4th
The javelin event was today and I did pretty good, which of course is only going to appeal to Sonic more, I think. He seemed to get embarrassed when I winked at him before throwing mine – seventy-seven metres again. I cheered him on when it was his turn but he ended up fouling, poor guy. He wouldn't look anyone in the face afterwards. Since we had three turns though, he did get some scores – his highest score was sixty-six, while my highest was seventy-seven from the first turn. I got the silver medal – I didn't stand a chance against Knuckles – he got one hundred and eight. It doesn't bother me though. I still feel sorry for Sonic though, he didn't get any medals at all.
February 5th
The Long Jump is in two days time, and I'm somewhat confident. I ended up meeting up with Sonic, Tails, Cream and Knuckles at the park to practice and we had an awful lot of fun. Tails found a pretty big twig and we used it as a foul line. I landed right next to Sonic at one point – it's got to be a sign! He spent the rest of the day trying to deny it, but I know it's true. We're evenly matched at the Long Jump.
February 6th
Tomorrow's the Long Jump and I cannot wait. I practiced some more today though I didn't get to talk to Sonic – he was probably too busy practicing to notice me anyway. Men.
February 7th
I got around sixteen on the Long Jump, which was pretty good, though nobody could have matched Mario and Luigi. They were absolutely fantastic and got a score of seventeen metres each. I thought for sure that I would not win anything from this event, but I came third behind the brothers so I have another medal – it's bronze, but it's still a medal! Somewhat sad for Sonic though – he didn't get anything this time around either. He came close though, so I suppose that counts for something.
February 8th
Another two days to practice I guess – for the Triple Jump. I don't see the point really – it's essentially the Long Jump but you have to hop and skip before you jump. But still, I'm glad I did choose to practice. Everybody else had other things to do by the looks of it so Sonic and I got to practice by ourselves. It's probably the first time in a while that I've actually gotten some time with him alone. It's got to be fate! It's too much of a coincidence for everyone to be doing something else. Okay, so Cream and Cheese were watching us but as it was just Sonic and I practicing… it's just got to be a sign, even if Sonic's blind enough to not see it.
February 9th
Peach and Daisy asked me if I wanted to show them the downtown area, since they haven't been there yet, so I ended up taking them down there. Blaze turned up later on – she's bought this skimpy little outfit that she intends to use for the EX World Grand Prix. She seemed quite interested in hearing all about it once I told her that I'd taken part in the last one two years ago. If Blaze is taking part this year, then it really ought to be fun. It's just a pity that Peach and Daisy won't be here to witness it.
February 10th
I didn't do so well today – I came fifth overall. Still, it's within the top eight, and I'm certainly not complaining after what happened today. Sonic did really well – he came second and got the silver medal. Of course I congratulated him – what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't? – and he blushed when I kissed him on the cheek. It was so cute! He seemed to get a little grumpy though when I told him how cute he was. I probably should have kept in mind his pride; guys do hate to be told they're cute after all. Still… it's another sign!
February 11th
Tomorrow is the High Jump event, and I suppose I'm looking forward to it, but considering that Valentine's Day is approaching, I don't know how people expect me to focus on the events. I went into town today to get a Valentine's card for Sonic so that hopefully I can focus a little better but… gosh, it's Valentine's Day! The most romantic day of the year! Maybe this will be the year Sonic finally admits it, after all. I can't help but feel excited for it!
February 12th
Poor Sonic seemed really low on himself when he left the stadium after the High Jump event. He knocked the bar over every single time so he didn't get any points. He couldn't even look me in the face. I didn't do so well either – I only got over the bar once – but still… I hope he's alright.
February 13th
The next event's the hammer throw, and I don't know how I'm going to do it. The hammer's just too heavy! Knuckles took great pleasure in showing off his strength by throwing the thing quite far. Peach and Daisy lifted it quite easily – I'd love to know how they do it because it's just so hard! Sonic can't do it either though, so I suppose I'm grateful that I'm not alone in struggling with this stupid event.
February 14th
Ooh, it's Valentine's Day, and today was a good one! I gave Sonic my card and he seemed kind of embarrassed when I gave it to him, bless him. But that's not the best bit! He got me a box of chocolates so he obviously acknowledges the day! It's a sign that he loves me for sure! But I'm not sure if even that's the best bit; he let me tag along with him to the park and stayed with me while I fed the ducks! He didn't even try to run off when I started talking about my feelings and the idea of us having a relationship! Ooh, it's simply got to be proof that Sonic loves me!
February 15th
Today was the Hammer Throw but after yesterday I just couldn't focus. I barely even cared that I could barely throw the hammer at all. Sonic couldn't either – he seemed kind of down about it, but he's getting over these things faster and faster. He sort of grinned at me after I'd had my turn sympathetically. Gosh, I just love his eyes…
Oh, Bowser won by the way; ninety-seven metres. Nobody could have beaten that, not even Knuckles.
February 16th
Pole Vault is up in three days time. I didn't get to see Sonic at all today – instead I met up with Peach and went downtown again. Daisy couldn't join us because she had Princess Stuff going on down in Sarasaland, which is where she supposedly comes from. I'm not too sure of the details. Peach and I kind of spent the day sharing our stories. I'm kind of amazed at how many times she's been captured; no disrespect to her but she really needs to toughen up.
February 17th
Today was so boring… I couldn't practice for Pole Vault because the equipment's at the stadium so I spent the day trailing around the park feeding the ducks. It's so boring when you've got nobody to hang out with.
February 18th
They did let us practice Pole Vault today at the stadium – that was good because I was worried that I may not get the chance to practice it at all. Poor Sonic kept knocking down the bar and seemed to be getting frustrated and angry that he couldn't manage it. I got the hang of it eventually, though it was tough learning when to plant the stick thingy.
February 19th
Ooh, today was good fun! I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to do it but I did! I cleared one of the highest bars and got the gold medal. My first gold medal. Wow. All I can say is… I took great delight in showing people it because it's proven that I cando anything I put my mind to! So that really showed the people who thought I couldn't do anything! I think Sonic's really impressed with me too, even though he did pretty badly, and that knowledge means more than any gold medal.
February 20th
Since the track and field events are over for now, there's no more events until next month so there's nothing to do for now. Not much happened today in that case. Cream came around for a visit and looked at my small collection of medals. I'm really proud of what has happened.
February 21st
Today was really boring, but something interesting happened not long ago. I saw a light in the sky – it looked like some kind of shooting star. I made a wish. I'm not saying what it is though or it won't come true.
February 22nd
Oh, today's been terrible! I found this rock not far from my house and picked it up, and the next thing that happens is some stupid robots are chasing me! It's really a good thing I found Sonic, or else those robots could have done anything to me! We went off to MeteorTech to find out what the rocks were about and the Babylon Rogues turned up. I really don't like those guys, especially not that mean girl who's always dissing everyone. They kept yelling at me to give them that stupid stone I found, and one of them prevented me from catching up with Sonic! How dare them! A robot nearly attacked us, but it got destroyed and that doofus from the Rogues ran off to a place named Gigan Rocks. We're headed up there now.
February 23rd
Eggman's up to his old tricks again – he stole some of those rocks and tried to use them to take over the world… again. Can't that guy ever get a real hobby? Thanks to him, the whole world was nearly sucked into a black hole! The Arks of the Cosmos (that's what they called the rocks) manipulated gravity because of the black hole… or something like that. We risked our necks to stop it, going into the black hole and disconnecting the engine unit! It's thankful really that Sonic and the rest of us were around to save the day! That stupid Eggman never learns!
February 24th
The people in charge of the Olympics called me today, and told me that one of the upcoming events will be swimming one hundred metres. He asked me if I was a capable swimmer and all that stuff, which I said I was. I told them that Sonic can't swim though so I hope that they'll sort him out somehow. Even if it means he doesn't take part, I don't want Sonic drowning.
February 25th
Sonic got called about having to wear a life jacket yesterday apparently, after I got called about the event. I'm assuming they didn't mention that it was me who told them he couldn't swim because he didn't seem to mention much about it. So the two of us went to get him a life jacket. He seemed very resistant to wearing one though, but eventually we picked him one out – a blue one. I couldn't resist taking some snapshots though – he just looks so cute in a life jacket.
February 26th
We got told the next event today – Archery. That doesn't sound particularly interesting and there's no real way of practicing at the moment. Still, I'm not going to knock it before I try it. It might be fun after all.
February 27th
We went to the Chaotix Detective Agency today to use their dartboard. It's not the same as using a bow and arrow, but it's something and it was still fun. Vector was unhappy about Knuckles throwing some darts into the wall. Sonic got pretty fidgety as well – it's not exactly a sport that is his kind of thing. Sonic's more about moving at fast speeds than throwing stuff.
February 28th
Cream's excited for Easter, which is next month. She's talking about how she's going to dress up as the Easter bunny and give us chocolate eggs. Tails seems quite excited too, even if he doesn't show it as much. I suppose I'm somewhat excited myself. I wonder if Sonic'll get me an Easter egg…
February 29th
Wow, a leap year. I can barely remember the last time I experienced one of those. Sonic seemed determined to avoid me today, I'm not entirely sure why. Probably must be something to do with the fact that it's the one day that traditionally women propose to men. Oh well.
