I started with weight lifting, I benched pressed 220lbs and did about 15 reps before I stopped to rest. I then moved on to the treadmill, I cranked it up to go as fast as possible without destroying the machine. I ran on that for about 30-40 minutes. I then went to the punching bag, I got in my stance and I threw my first punch. It moved it slightly but not enough, so I continued punching it thinking about what was going with my dreams. I thought about Knuckles and about how he had been stabbed in the chest. I punched as hard as possible and the bag went flying about 5-10 feet before it stopped. I was breathing hard and I had some sweat forming on my forehead. I grabbed a new punching bag and continued on that one. When it looked like there was sunlight outside I decided that I had done enough for now. I grabbed my water bottle a took a big drink of it. Damn I though I have my date with Amy today, I have to get something's to make the night the best ever. I rushed to the locker rooms and to my locker. I opened it up, threw my cloths on and put my others in the bag. I walked out of the locker room towards the front desk. I was about to leave when, "hey Sonic you ok". I turn to see Chip looking at me with concern. I just shook my head, "it's ok Chip, just going through some personal things nothing much" I ensured. He looked at me with a little concern, he just nodded and I walked out the door. I got in my car and turned out of the parking lot. I could hear my phone ringing, I looked down to see Tails face on the screen. I slide the arrow and put the phone up to my ear. "Yello" I said, "hey Sonic whats up" Tails asked. "Nothing just going to get something for my date with Amy". "What are you going to get?". "I'm going to get her a ring and get myself a ring". "Wow you are really going all out". "Yeah I just feel like I owe her for ignoring her all these years". "Sonic you probably don't have to". "Hey you know any good jewelry stores". "Yeah there is one on 32nd street". "Ok thanks Tails talk to you later". "Your welcome see ya" after that I hung up.
I turned on to 32nd and looked around for the jewelry store Tails was talking about. I found it at the far end of the street, I pulled up and got out of the car. I walked throughout the front door and their was a soft ding of a bell. I walked up to a display case and looked inside. I saw necklaces, rings, bracelets, and ear rings galore. "Can you help sir", I jumped at the question. I looked up to see a man wearing a dress jacket and a maroon tie. "Uh yeah you see I'm looking for a ring". "Oh say no more, when the hero Sonic the hedgehog asks for something I will show him the finest we have to offer" he said with glee. I was slightly confused, "wait wait wait the hero Sonic?" I asked. "Well yeah you are the one who stopped the Maulers from killing us all that Sonic right" he said. I just nodded I felt my sadness come back. "You do know they have a memorial for all the soldiers who died in the operation" he said. I looked up shocked, "really wow, ok so what have you got". He smiled and moved down to another display case I followed him over. I looked into the case and I saw dozens of rings. He pulled out one with a sapphire in the middle, "this piece shows of that a soft color can look dazzling" he showed off. I looked it over, "sorry but I just doesn't seem like her type" I said. He just nodded, he then pulled out one with a ruby in it. "This one shows a fiery color of a bright red ruby" he said. It looked like Amy, "maybe but I just want to look them all over". The clerk just nodded, I looked in to the case I saw many rings but none seemed to jump out at me. I was about to buy the ring before I looked over at another case. I saw a pure gold ring with no Jewel or crevasses(the rings in the game). I walked over to it and looked at it, I saw the clerk walk over to me. "You see one you like?" He asked, I nodded and pointed to the ring. "Ah" he said, he pulled it out and put it on the table. I grabbed it and examined it, "I love it, can I get two, one for me and one for my girlfriend" I asked. "Yes yes have one in stock for each gender I'll just need to size your finger" he said. I nodded and held out my hand, he wrapped a measuring tape around my ring finger. He wrote down a number and pulled away from me. "I will also need the size of your girlfriends finger" he said. I nodded and pulled out my phone. I went to Amy's phone number and pressed it, it rang about two times before she picked up. "Hey Sonic what are you doing" she asked. "Nothing just looking at some items that's all" I said. "Oh cool so why ya calling". "I was just wondering what was the size of your ring finger". "Um ok just give a second, (rustling, rustling, rustling) ok it's 2 inches ok". "Ok thanks baby". "Hehe welcome baby see ya (click)". I put my phone back into pocket, "what size is her finger" asked the clerk. I told him the number and went to the back room. He came back with two rings, "here are your rings" he said. "Thanks how much damage is done" I asked. He shook his head, "it is not every day I get a hero these are on the house" he said. "Wow thanks I hope to come back here to buy more jewelry" I said. "No thank you have a nice day", I nodded and walked out the door.
