Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog.
A/N: Okay I decided to flip between characters, so this was what Sonic was thinking.
Also, Amy is supposedly the third fastest character. Surprisingly.
Chapter 2: The Pink Hedgehog
All Sonic had wanted to do was visit Little Planet.
He heard that it wasn't far from his current location and as such… saw no reason not to go. At that time he would have never expected the state he found it in. Rushing towards the lake and seeing the metal chain that bound it- it was quite a surprise.
Not yet knowing who was behind it but drawing a line between the familiar dots, he had a pretty guess that Robotnik was responsible for this but what interest did the mad genius have in this place?
Setting a new goal for himself, he focused on finding out.
On this self imposed mission he had more important things to do than meet an obsessive fan that had come all this way to gawk at him. Sure he saw the figure in the distance, the moment he came over the crest of the cliff but at that instant he was more interested in smashing into a flying badnik beneath him. He fell with the shower of debris, never stopping to catch his breath or regain his footing as he simply plowed onward.
It was only as he grew closer that he thought it slightly strange.
Not the fact that someone else was at this currently chaotic place but something different entirely. Something even more obvious to the eyes…
Obviously this person was the same species as him and female judging by the skirt she wore. It was a far stretch from the rest of her outfit, a simple shirt and tennis shoes. This wasn't what had him though.
She was a pink hedgehog and people always thought his coloration was odd, how did someone end up pink? If running the speed of sound had turned him blue… how fast would someone have to go to turn that color? Or maybe he was thinking about this all wrong. Maybe she was similar to his buddy Tails and had been born like this.
Or maybe he was just crazy and was imagining things.
Seriously, why would anybody else be here?
They would have already been taken captive by Robotnik by now or chased off because that was the way the man rolled. But she was here. She was here.
He knew that now, as her voice filtered through the air.
She was as real as anything else in this place. Calling his name, sharp and shrill with her young voice. For a brief second he wondered how she knew it but then realized that was a really stupid thought. There was scarcely a person left on their world that didn't know it.
It was the way she said it though- the tongue she used. There wasn't many people around these parts that spoke like that. She must have come a long way from… somewhere. Either way her calls frightened him. There was something about her tone that made him think it'd be in his best interest to keep his distance.
That's just what he did too, shooting past her with a fair amount of force.
It was later that day that he realized he wasn't alone. At first he expected some sort of enemy but when an attempted attack didn't come, he realized it was something else on his tail. There was really no way it could be that girl though… no one could keep up with him.
So he had to look back and instantly felt his heart skip a beat in surprise. It was her. How in the… His thoughts broke away at her gleeful squeal and he stumbled. A mistake he wished hadn't occurred as the next second he found her latched onto his arm like a tick.
Instinctively- he went completely still. His throat felt tight, stealing away his ability to tell her off. What was she doing? He didn't even know her. Had never even seen her before today.
His ears flicked back, the corner of his lips inching down as his eyes widen- the moment she began to rub against him, that was the limit for him. He jerked away in the middle of her comment and he wanted nothing more than to put a million miles between them but after going only several yards he glanced back.
He was relieved to see she was still standing where he left her. He didn't want her to follow and was afraid she still might as he leapt forward onto a bounce pad and launched himself into the air.
He heard her call his name but was content to ignore her. He had other places to be and more important things to worry about. Until he heard her scream…
Something happened in that instant and it was only as he glanced down he saw what. He wasn't too fond of her but she was in trouble and that wasn't something he could turn a blind eye too. He barreled down the face of the cliff but he couldn't strike, since she was in the line of his attack.
Her screams were piercing to his ears, made them press down against his skull. His feet bounced off the grass as he made to attack her captor's backside but they were already rising to rapidly for him to reach.
He couldn't believe it, he wasn't fast enough?
Even as they faded in the distance… he could hear her wailing his name and feel his disbelief growing. What was with that robot?, it kind of looked like him. And what was with that girl? He didn't even really know what to think about her.
He knew he would save her though.
His hands fisted at his sides.
He knew he would.
