Sorry it came out later than I was expecting. So here is Chapter 1! (The before one was obviously a prologue.)((You know since I titled it Prologue...))

Most characters belong to Sega.

Cryssi belongs to me

Stuck-up and Blue


The rusty bus came to a rattled stop. It rocked back and forth before settling down. A puff of exhaust exhaled from the pipe at the back. The slim, glass doors swung open. Joyful and layered sounds of tourist chatter and singing rang out from inside.

In her raspberry go-go boots, Amy Rose stepped down the stars and onto the dirt road. She set her heavy luggage down at her side for a moment. After waving away other citizens she met on her long 22-hour bus ride, she turned ahead of her, ready for her new life.

She brushed back her three pink quills that fell back onto her eyes. The scene ahead of her was fresh and lively in a peaceful way. Amy was so used to the city life. She was used to seeing a tall building in every corner. But here Amy could see miles around. Cement didn't bury Mobius's natural ground. She had a feeling she was going to like it here.

Green fields stretched across her right. She saw flowers bloom over the hills and sway in the soft breeze. The silky petals of white, yellows, and purples clung on tightly to their stems. Amy smiled at them. To her left she saw the dirt road slowly end and vanish into a forest with high trees and green leaves that seem a little too perfect.

The pink hedgehog turned to her bag and unzipped a front compartment. She pulled out a small and easy-to-read map of the area. She knew that few people lived here. Only a total of twenty houses were marked on it. Each had at least a five minute walking distance between them. Amy knew she wouldn't mind that. Back at her apartment in Station Square, Amy could remember having the most obnoxious neighbors. She was never able to study due to the racket of late games and partying from the older college kids that went to the nearby campus. It was also impossible to sleep in. An older lady on her opposite side would be playing music over 70 years old at six O'clock in the morning every single day.

Amy brushed off her negative thoughts of it and continued to read the map. She was looking for something. A specific house is what she needed. Amy furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. No addresses on the map were there to tell her what would be the correct home for Amy to stay in. She needed to find the home of Cream and Vanilla.

With a sigh of defeat, she grabbed the handle of her red luggage and rolled it next to her as she started down the dirt road. "I'll eventually find them," Amy thought with determination.

She didn't see other people for the first half hour. She was alone, watching the chaos and butterflies play in wild gardens. Amy smiled at them. She had never seen a wild chao before. Most of the ones she saw were kept on leashes and closed inside of homes.

Eventually, Amy did see a young girl ahead of her. The dog was no more than a day older than Amy. Her brown ears hung at the sides of her head. Her fur was white with brown spots covering her arms and legs. Amy admired her nice choice of a matching outfit. The dog wore a blue skirt that puffed up around her thighs. Her white blouse was tucked into the waistband of the skirt. She had on matching white boots that had dirt on them towards the souls.

"Excuse me!" Amy called, catching the girls attention. The dog's brown eyes met with her emerald green ones. She smiled as the pink hedgehog approached.

"Hi there!" She said cheerily. Her voice was filled with energy. "What can I do for you?"

"Well," Amy began as she held out her map, "I just got here and I'm looking for the home of Cream and Vanilla."

"Oh," the dag said understandingly, "I can take you there!"

Amy broke into a smile of gratitude. "Really? Thank you very much!"

"No problem!" Both girls began their descent down the dirt path. The calming crunch of dirt under their boots was accompanied by small talk. "I'm Cryssi, by the way." Cryssi held out her hand for Amy to take hold of and shake. The girl gladly shook hers with her gloved hand. "Amy Rose."

"You know," Cryssi said as she looked over the hedgehog, "you're very pink." Amy laughed and nodded as she looked down at herself. She wore a simple, raspberry, strapless dress. It matched her boots that held the same solid color other than the vertical, white stripe that went down the middle of each boot. Her fur was a light pink. Her slightly tanned arms and muzzle also had a hue of pink to them.

Cryssi tilted her head to the side and stared at Amy, as if she was examining her. Amy felt under pressure and looked off to the side, unsure of what to do with herself. It has been a while since she met someone new, she wasn't sure if this was normal.

"Are you related to Sonic the Hedgehog?" Cryssi suddenly blurted out. Amy raised an eyebrow. She was confused by the question. She never heard of a Sonic before. The girl slowly shook her head as an answer of "no."

Cryssi shrugged as they kept walking ahead. "I'm sorry," she said, seeming shy for once, "it's just that you two have the same colored eyes." Amy blushed with embarrassment at her comment. She wasn't sure if it was a compliment. Cryssi smiled at Amy's innocent confusion. "It's not a bad thing! Green is a very pretty color! Lots of girl have flaunted over his eyes!"

Amy's eyes widened at the comment. She never thought much of guys, most of the last four years of her life had been spent studying. But it confused her on why girls would fall in love over someone's appearance. It's one thing to think of someone as attractive, it's another to love.

"Not that girls would do that to you!" Cryssi quickly explained, panicked at Amy's expression. Amy laughed at her comment. She wasn't worried over that at all. Only a fool with a big ego would think of people having fan clubs for them, in her opinion.

"Well it's good that I wont have to worry about that," Amy lightly laughed out.

"Why are you staying with Cream and Vanilla anyways?" Amy gnawed at the inside of her cheek at this question. She hasn't exactly thought of a reasonable answer other than the low paying job offered to her. When she told a few people at her apartment where she was going, they shook their head as if she was a mistake. Maybe Amy was.

"I just want to get away from the city," Amy lied through her teeth. She just met Cryssi and she was already lying to her friend. "The people there are loud and obnoxious." It wasn't a complete lie.

Cryssi nodded her head. "So why here?"

Amy pondered for a moment over the question. Of all the places she chose, she picked the one that's almost off the map and unlabeled. "Well," Amy slowly said as she furrowed her eyes, "I saw the ad of a governess in need in the corner of a newspaper. I called up Vanilla before mailing my application. I soon found that I'll be teaching Cream and that housing will be supplied. So here I am!"

Amy took a few skipping steps before settling into a casual walk. Cryssi followed her with a giggle. "Well, you'll like it here," she reassured Amy, "Everyone here is... manageable. By the end of the week you'll know us all, or at least this side of the area. If you go exploring often you'll meet us all."

Amy smiled brightly. If everyone were like Cryssi then she will be enjoying it here. "I look forward to meeting you all."

Cryssi skipped ahead as she suddenly turned down a slim path. Amy hadn't noticed the small house there. It had a light, brown tiled roof. A small brick chimney stood up lifeless with no smoke coming through. The stucco walls rose four feet above Amy's head. She looked through the large, white framed windows. It was dark inside the house.

"They may not be home," Cryssi reasoned as she looked into the darkness of the house. "Dont't worry, I have a key," Cryssi reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver key. Amy never knew friends trusted each other with the keys to each other's homes.

The wooden door slowly creaked open. Cryssi stepped in through the doorway. Cool air feel upon Amy's face as she followed closely behind. The interior was very light. Amy took in the faint scent of flowers as she walked past a vase. All the walls in the whole house were a soft yellow. It was more comforting than a bright blinding neon color.

"You can set your bags in the corner for now," Cryssi pointed behind Amy, "it would be best that the actual owners of the house settle you in instead of their crazy friend!" Cryssi laughed as she spoke about herself. Amy laughed as well as she took a seat on the plush, pink couch. She sat with her back straight and hands folded neatly onto the knees.

The two continued to talk to each other. It was as if they were playing 20 Questions when getting to know one another. Amy quickly found out that Cryssi had been living in the small town that has come to be known as Emerald Town. She learned that this place was once very popular. It wasn't as grassy as Amy sees it now. Cryssi claimed that most people left to go to Station Square after a rush of jobs opened.

Not too long after the girls had became comfortable around each other, the front door lightly swung open. In came an older woman who had a teenage girl close behind her. Both had long, light brown ears that hung around them. The small girl had on an orange blouse and white capris. "I'm Cream," her light voice sang. Amy smiled at the cute girl. "I'm Amy Rose."

"I am terribly sorry," the older woman, Vanilla, Amy assumed, apologized. "We went to deliver some tools our friend Tails left here after he fixed our sink." Amy waved off the apology, finding it no problem at all. "I am Vanilla," she held out her long, gloved hand, which Amy lightly shook.

"Thank you, Cryssi, for letting our friend in." Amy could already tell that Vanilla had a high sense of manners.

Cryssi headed towards the front door. "No problem!" She put her hand on the golden door handle. "I'll talk to you guys later. Bye, Amy! It was nice meeting you!" With that, Amy's first friend at Emerald Town was off.

Amy was given a small tour of the house. There wasn't much there to see. The kitchen was wide with a square island in the middle. Cream explained to Amy how she loved the bake often. Amy agreed to learn some cooking tips from her later. The living room had been the room Amy and Cryssi were seated in earlier. It was simple with the pink couch, light wooded coffee table, and large box television, which was hardly used. The dining had more too it. Flowers were hung in pictures and put in pots in this room. Amy could tell most of the housing scent came from in here. Upstairs had four rooms. Three of them were identical bedrooms as the other was a larger closet to store items unneeded at the moment. Vanilla offered for Amy to feel free to use it when ever she had extra items.

Amy didn't take much time to rest in her new bedroom. She really wanted to have a look at the whole town, just so she wouldn't get lost. Cream was more than happy to show her new governess and friend around.

"So, how old are you?" Amy wanted to know everything about Cream since she will be spending a lot of time with her. "I'm 13 and a half years old!" Cream cheered happily in response. "How old are you, Amy?" She asked in return. "18," Amy confirmed.

Cream seemed surprised at Amy's answer. "Not to be rude, Miss," Cream exclaimed, "but that is young to be a governess!" Amy slightly laughed at the girl's reaction. "I suppose it is. I did just graduate from high school."

The girls continued to walk down the dirt road. Cream told Amy that they got rid of the concrete because most people walked from place to place over driving cars. Both girls stopped and sat in the middle of one of the many fields. They were surrounded by flowers. Flowers were one of Cream's most favorite things. She also loved the chao that would play near the flowers. Cream had her own chao named Cheese. He was currently at a nearby beach for cleaning in the water.

Peace was between the two for a while. Amy didn't want it to go away. She was still relieved to be off the smelly bus. It was a shame that no clean planes flew directly to Emerald Town.

Amy laughed as a small chao rubbed his forehead against her cheek. She found the white, ball of flying fuzz adorable. Cream giggled along with her as more chao surrounded the young rabbit. But soon all of their squeals of joy faded. The girls were left, dumbfounded as all the chao suddenly flew away, leaving them alone in the middle of the natural garden.

"What was that about?" Amy slowly asked as both of them shared a confused look. "Something doesn't feel right," Cream said. She looked shaken and nervous. The rabbit glanced from side to side until she heard a voice call out to them. "Watch out!"

Before Amy's mind could catch up to her instincts, Cream was pulled over from her spot as Amy dove off to the side. A crash was felt as it vibrated through the Mobius's ground. Debris flew up in the air and scattered around. Amy coughed at the intoxicated air. With a small groan she pushed herself up into a sitting position. She looked down at Cream as the dusty dirt settled down to check if she was okay. The young girl looked scared for a moment. "What was that?" She asked. Amy stood up, "I don't know."

She eyed the mound of dirt that lied where she was previously sitting. Amy approached it cautiously with one step at a time. Amy looked over the pile to see a blue figure as still as set stone. "Hello?" She called to the person that she realized was also a hedgehog. No one answered her. She heard a gasp from her side as Cream saw who it was. "Oh no!" She cried. "It's-"

"I've got you now Sonic!" Another voice interrupted Cream. It made Amy cringe inwardly. She looked up to see a round man hovering not far from them in some sort of contraption. His big nose pointed down at them. Amy couldn't see his small eyes that hid behind thin rimmed glasses. No hair was on his head other than his messy mustache that spiked out to the sides.

The man gave an unwanted laugh, but stopped half way through when he caught sight of the pink hedgehog. He gave a confused glance over her. "Huh? Who are you?" Amy folded her arms over her chest, trying to look intimidating, before answering, "Amy Rose. And you are?" The man raised his fist high above his head. "I am Doctor Eggman! Evil genius!"

Amy tilted her head at this. "Evil genius?" "Doctor Eggman is mean!" Cream called out. "He is always trying to hurt my friend Sonic!" Amy looked back down at the figure who had not risen yet. She then glared up at the older man. Amy felt furious towards him for hurting innocent people, or as far as she knew they were innocent.

"That's not right!" She called out to him. For a moment she stared him down with her emerald green eyes. Eggman just laughed at her attempts to scare him. He saw her as nothing more than a small annoyance. "What are you going to do about it?" He challenged.

Amy gritted her teeth as she held her hand out to her side. For a moment she made her brain concentrate on feeling weight in her hand. With her mind commanding it, a long hammer appeared in her hand. She grinned at it. The yellow handle was familiar and she missed it in her grip.

"This." Amy jumped over the blue body. She spun once before letting loose her hammer. It flew up at Eggman, who looked shocked. He couldn't hesitate. The older man quickly pulled himself together and grabbed the control stick of his cart. He was quick to move out of the way at the last minute. Amy felt a small pint of defeat as she watched her hammer soar over his shoulder.

The man obnoxiously laughed. "You are just another pity friend of Sonic's! As much fun as it is to watch you fail, I have plans to do. So be gone with you." Eggman pressed a bright red control button. Amy's eyes widened as she saw a blue light form at the tip of a gun.

"Amy!" Cream yelled for her friend. It was her first day here and she didn't want her hurt already.

With a zipping noise, the laser shot out at the speed of a normal bullet towards her. It was too fast for Amy to move out of the way, even if she tried. Lucky for her, someone here was faster.

Amy felt warmth around her. She was tugged away before any damage could come to her. Amy was startled and let out a small squeak as she closed her eyes tight. No pain struck her as she was held up.

"You're okay." Someone reassured her. It was the same voice that had warned her and Cream to move. Amy blinked open her eyes. The first thing she saw was blue and tan. The person's embrace loosened from around her as she looked up to the face. She was met with another pair of green eyes. Amy realized that this was the person who had laid still earlier. This was Sonic the Hedgehog; the boy Cryssi had briefly told her about.

And then he was gone. With a brush of air he left with a blue streak following him. Amy held down the hem of her dress to prevent it from flying up and exposing her undergarments.

She turned around and saw him dash at the "evil genius." Eggman sent curses at Sonic. The blue hedgehog just gave back smart remarks and called him "Eggbrain" numerous times. Amy watched the fight go down between the two. She was unable to tear her eyes away as she witnessed it. She had never seen anything like it before and was speechless. The pink hedgehog didn't even notice the brown rabbit stand next to her and ask about her well being.

With a final kick, Sonic sent Eggman a few hundred feet away. The blue hedgehog smirked at his fine work with defeating his weekly enemy. Sonic swiped his hands against each other as he dusted any dirt off of his gloves.

He was about to run off once more before he remembered a certain pinkie. Sonic looked back over his shoulder to see Cream standing next to a girl who looked like she was about to burst. Who could blame Amy? It was her first time seeing a hero in action.

Sonic thought it was only polite to introduce himself. With in a blink of an eye, he stood right in front of Amy. He held out his hand to the other hedgehog. "Sonic the Hedgehog." He introduced himself. He was unaware of the fact that Amy already knew his name.

Amy gladly took his hand. Her grip was more eager and tight than his. "I'm Amy Rose!" She exclaimed, a little loudly. Sonic didn't show any hint of surprise at her outburst. "That was amazing!" Amy went on, "How did you do that? All of that running! You're really fast! Do you do that often? I've never seen anything like it before!" Sonic released her hand as he laughed, slightly nervous. He scratched the back of his head as his glance drifted away from hers. "Yeah, it's kinda my thing."

Before Amy could pester Sonic more, Cream interrupted. "Amy, mother will be making dinner soon. Maybe we should head back home." Amy nodded in agreement. Both girls waved to Sonic. As they turned around Sonic called out, "Bye Cream! Bye Amy!" He have a small salute as a goodbye gesture.

As Sonic was about to run off he heard Amy's voice once more. "Wait! Once more thing!" She stopped him by placing her hand on his shoulder. Amy gave a genuine smile as bother of their eyes met. "Thank you for helping me." Sonic shifted over a little bit, letting her hand fall to her side. "No problem!" He gave her a thumbs up. There was a short pause that gave an awkward tension.

"Well, bye!" Amy quickly finished as she turned around to catch up to Cream.

This time Sonic stopped Amy. The girl gave him a confused look. "Listen," Sonic said with a heavy breath, "I must warn you one thing." Amy nodded as she waited for Sonic to continue. "I guess we are going to be seeing each other more than once since you'll be hanging out with Cream, I assume. But what ever you may think is happening between us, it's not. So do not fall in love with me."

Amy felt her jaw drop. She couldn't seem to shut it. Amy was stunned as Sonic took off in the other direction. Then she became angry.

"His head is so big he'll topple over!" Amy screamed in her mind as she turned around and went to catch up to Cream. Amy had regretted thinking of Sonic as a hero. "He wishes I'd love him," she thought bitterly. It was big egoed people that Amy was hoping to get away from. She thought back to how Cryssi said how most girls loved his eyes. "But not his personality."

The girls went back to Cream's house where they were greeted with a nice, fresh dinner. The rest of the evening was filled with simple talk, which Amy didn't mind. At the end of the day, she was happy to be starting a new life.


Some questions to keep in mind:

What did Amy not want to tell Cryssi about her leaving the city earlier?

Why does Sonic appear narcissistic?

(Keep in mind calling someone big headed means they have a big ego.)

Question like these will be answered in the next few chapters!
