2: Blue to Green

Luke the hedgehog sat with his arms folded on the small table outside the cafe on the beautiful summer's day while he waited for his girlfriend, Amy. His blue eyes darted around looking for any sign of her until finally his eyes locked on a small pink hedgehog running towards him, smiling and waving.

He stood up as she approached and Amy's heart beat even faster at the sight of his handsome features. He's so prefect, she thought dreamily.

"Hey Ames." Luke greeted her excitedly.

"It's been too long, Luke." Amy sighed.

"I saw you last night sweetie." Luke laughed as he pulled her chair out for her.

Amy blushed and thanked him before saying 'and when soul mates are apart for that long, it feels like forever."

She rested her head on her hands as she stared at him laughing at her response.

"I suppose so." Luke replied. "I just thought it was just me."

"Oh, Luke, you're just so perfect." Amy swooned and leaned closer to him and breathed in his citrus scent. Her heart tugged as it seemed to remind her of someone and Amy's eyes widened slightly.

Luke's eyes widened at her reaction and then cleared his throat awkwardly.

"I hope you don't mind, but I already bought your coffee." Luke said pushing the cup towards her.

"No problem." Amy said and Luke watched in anticipation as Amy took a sip.

"So, how about we hang out with your friends today?" Luke suggested as his eyes followed Amy's every motion.

"I don't care what we do as long as I'm with you." Amy replied with star struck eyes as she stared at Luke.

Luke smiled, pleased with her answer.

"Well good, so let's hang out with your friends." Luke said smiling at Amy.

"Well, I think they were all planning a picnic today so I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I brought you along."

Luke's smile widened as Amy finished her cup and placed it back down on the table.

"Amy my love, could you tell me what that is up there?" He asked innocently, pointing towards the sun.

"The sun?" Amy asked puzzled as she felt her head go slightly dizzy.

Luke shook his head. "It's the moon, silly."

Amy gasped. "Why the hell did I call it the sun? I meant moon obviously. I wish I was as smart as you." She sighed as she leaned closer to him and breathed in his scent again. It was like she couldn't get enough of him; she wanted to hold him and never let him go. He was just so perfect.

.

"Do you need any more help, Mr. Tails?" Cream asked politely as he set the huge picnic basket down while Knuckles, Shadow and the Chaotix set up the tennis net.

"I've got it, but you could get the plates out if you want." Tails answered and Cream smiled and nodded.

"Do you know if Amy's coming?" He asked curiously, wondering if Amy could pry herself away from her boyfriend to spend a few hours with her friends.

Cream sighed. "I'm not sure."

Tails nodded and bit his lip before asking Cream another question. "Hey Cream, do you...like Amy's boyfriend?"

Cream froze what she was doing. "He makes Amy happy and that's the important thing and I think it's rude and intrusive of us to think of him in a negative way."

Tails sighed. "I guess you're right."

"Hey guys!" An excited voice called and Tails and Cream looked up to see Amy and a smirking Luke walked up to them hand in hand.

"Hey, Amy." Tails replied. "Luke." He said politely nodding to the red hedgehog who had appeared in their lives out of nowhere.

"Great day for a picnic." Luke noted as he looked up at the clear sky.

"Ah yes, the moon is shining brightly and we'll all have fun together." Amy said whilst still staring at Luke.

Luke froze once he heard Amy and Tails and Cream looked at Amy with perplexed expressions.

"Don't you mean the sun?" Tails asked slowly, but Amy ignored him as he continued to stare at Luke with dreamy eyes.

"Maybe she's had too much caffeine." Luke laughed and Amy laughed as well.

"Yes I have." Amy giggled. "You are so right about everything." She hugged Luke tightly around the waist and he wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead. Amy giggled in response.

Tails and Cream looked at one another before shrugging and going back to sorting the picnic things out.

Espio and Charmy were already furiously battling it out on the tennis court and Shadow watched Luke with suspicious eyes.

So this was the famous Luke everybody had been rambling on about. The red hedgehog gave off a strange vibe that much was obvious. Shadow continued to watch as he would not relinquish his possessive hold on the pink hedgehog who was staring at him with love struck eyes.

Shadow shook his head at how shallow the pink hedgehog was and went back to watching the game that Charmy was winning, much to Espio's astonishment.

.

Amy strolled down the field with Luke and held his hand tightly in her own.

"Phew, I wish there was something to shield us from the moon's heat." Amy said as she looked around for a shaded spot.

"You know, it's actually called the sun." Luke said looking at Amy with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, I'm so stupid sometimes." Amy growled. "I'm so glad I have someone as smart as you around."

"Oh it's ok, sweetie, I don't think you're stupid." Luke said sweetly as he held Amy's hand tighter.

Amy was about to reply before gasping a sudden breeze whipped past her and blue blur dashed towards where the others were still hanging out.

"Hey guys." Sonic said as he skidded to a halt in front of them.

"Sonic!" Everyone apart from Shadow yelled in surprise and excitement as their friend had finally returned.

"Did I miss much?" Sonic asked as he smiled at them all.

"Nah, not much. How's it going buddy? Where've you been?" Tails asked.

Sonic shrugged. "Here there and everywhere." He answered and was about to sit down when a familiar high pitched voice startled him.

"Hey, Sonic." Amy called and Sonic cringed, waiting for the impact of the bone crushing hug. Nothing happened.

He turned around to see Amy walking towards him, holding hands with a red hedgehog Sonic had never seen before.

"Oh, hi Amy." Sonic said awkwardly as his eyes scanned the unfamiliar face. There was something odd about him that Sonic couldn't quite place...and he didn't like it.

"Who's this?" Sonic asked looking at Luke with a neutral expression so he wouldn't give away his suspicions. His eyes locked on Amy's hand being held tight in the red hedgehog's and Sonic felt some sort of painful stab in his chest.

"Luke." Amy said in a dreamy voice. "This is my friend Sonic. Sonic, this is my boyfriend Luke."

The other's froze and watched Sonic's reaction carefully, however, Sonic's expression didn't change.

"Oh well, nice to meet you." Sonic said, purposefully not offering to shake his hand and Luke merely smirked and nodded in response.

Sonic continued to watch Luke for most of the afternoon and he couldn't help but feel his heart squeeze in a weird way as he watched Luke lean in to kiss Amy which she seemed more than happy to return.

"Green doesn't suit you Sonic." Knuckles teased as he stood next to Sonic.

"Huh?" Sonic asked snapping out of his daze.

"You're practically burning holes in the backs of their heads." Knuckles laughed. "Is Sonic the hedgehog jealous?"

"No!" Sonic snapped. "I just don't like the look of that Luke guy."

"Yeah well no one really likes him, but he seems to make Amy happy so we just went along with it."

"Wait, how long have they been dating?" Sonic asked.

Knuckles smirked at Sonic.

"About a week. I think they met when Luke found her unconscious in the street and helped her out and she's been smitten ever since." He explained and Sonic's frown deepened.

"Does she remember how she got there?"

Knuckles shook his head. "It's pretty weird if you ask me, but I guess Amy just has a thing for heroes." He laughed.

"Something just doesn't seem right to me. Why is she just suddenly smitten with him?" Sonic demanded. Something wasn't right somewhere and he could feel it.

"Gee Sonic; it looks like some sick part of you misses the attention." Knuckles frowned at the blue hedgehog and walked back to the rest of the group leaving Sonic stood in a state of shock.

He was not jealous!
