CHAPTER 3
A New Friend
Continuing from where we left off following the successful rescue mission from Eggman's Island Fortress, both Sonic the Hedgehog and Mina Mongoose wee now standing in the jungle together, after Tails dropped them off in the forest of trees, before flying off in the Tornado to do some work on his plane. And right now, Sonic decided to properly introduce himself to the girl that he and his sidekick had just saved from being made into a robot by Eggman.
And this girl was the one whom Sonic had strange yet warm feelings about from inside of his heart. Something that he had found really odd, since he encountered the mongoose girl in the jungle, this morning.
"So, um..." Sonic said, chuckling a little and looking at Mina, "I guess... I should introduce myself properly, now that whole crazy misadventure is done with."
"Yes, same for me as well, Sonic..." Mina agreed, smiling, before she hugged him tightly, startling the hedgehog at first, "Thank you so much, for rescuing me from that evil man, Sonic! I couldn't have been more happier to have been rescued by a famous blue hedgehog and his trustworthy sidekick! You guys were amazing back there!"
Sonic, who was a bit startled by the mongoose's hug of appreciation and gratefulness, slowly returned the hug, smiling a bit as he did, while being a little shy to the girl who he had saved from almost certain doom. It felt pretty good to have saved someone's life for once and get a thank you from them.
"Hehe, you're very welcome, Mina..." Sonic replied, "I know that being a robot would be just a terrible thing for you to be, but I would never let that happen to you, even if Eggman tried again."
"I was too young to ever become a robot, Sonic..." Mina replied, nodding to the blue hedgehog she called her hero, "I never want to loose my free will or be an evil machine that is made to destroy any innocent lives on this island. That would be very terrible and absolutely terrifying for me!"
"Well, you're safe now, at least..." Sonic reassured, "Eggman won't be hurting or kidnapping you ever again. I promise you that."
Mina looked at Sonic, before she smiled happily with a small sparkle in her eyes, and hugged him once more, as Sonic returned the hug, before they broke it. Sonic then held out his hand to shake, as he was now just getting to introduce himself to Mina properly.
"I may have introduced myself a few minutes ago, but let's properly introduce ourselves..." Sonic said, offering his hand for a shake, "My name is Sonic, but if you like, you can call me by my complete title, Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm about 14 years old and I am the world's fastest hedgehog on this whole island, and what I like to do is eat a chili dog, protect this island from Eggman's machine's and robots, and spend some brotherly time with my best friend, Tails."
Mina smiled at Sonic, giggling a bit at the blue hedgehog's explanatory introduction of himself, only he was doing that in a more descriptive way. And hearing the girl's giggle made Sonic feel a bit warmer in his heart, before he felt Mina gently grabbing his hand and shaking it, as she began introducing herself to him.
"Very nice to meet you, Sonic the Hedgehog..." Mina said, grinning, "My name is Mina Mongoose, and I am a former songwriter and a singer on Bygone Island. I'm about 15 years old, and I was born and raised by my parents in the jungle, before they disappeared a few years ago, leaving me to fend for myself within the next few years."
"15 years old, huh?" Sonic thought, "She must be the same age as Knuckles then."
"I began songwriting when I was about 12 years old..." Mina continued, as the two stopped shaking hands, "I was a bit unsuccessful three years ago, due to not being able to come up with some good enough lyrics to sing from, but overtime, I managed to improve my writing and use my imagination to think of some song lyrics. I just haven't really written in a long while."
"Well, you must be a very talented person for a girl at your age, Mina..." Sonic said, who was rather impressed, "So, what songs have you made and released?"
Hearing that question, Mina looked down to the ground and sighed, and Sonic could sense that something was about to go down for the girl. He was about to apologise for asking her such a question, before Mina looked back up to Sonic, with a somewhat slightly sad expression on her face.
Normally, she would never talk about this kind of question to anyone, not even to people she had even met for just a few minutes, but if Sonic was the first one to ask this question, then Mina should at least try and trust this blue hedgehog and give him a bit of a explanation for the question he had asked her about.
After all, he and Tails did just save her life a few minutes ago.
Sighing to herself, Mina looked to Sonic, before responding to the question that she was just asked about from him.
"Well, Sonic..." Mina began to say, "That's just the thing. I've ... never actually released a song or an album on Bygone Island before. I've been keeping my songs and sheet writing hidden away in my closet."
Sonic blinked at Mina in surprise after hearing that last part of the mongoose never releasing an album or song when she was younger. There was obviously a reason for this explanation.
"You never released a song?" Sonic questioned, curiously, "How come, Mina? Most singers would release a single and get famous for it."
"Well, it wasn't like that, unfortunately, Sonic..." Mina replied, sighing a little, "You see, when I wrote my first demo for a song, there was no singing or music company around in the village at that time. The Unnamed Village was more of a quieter and less than populated town by then. And when I attempted to release a demo tape of my first and only song, nobody would accept me or my singing talent. Instead, they just laughed at me and called me a pathetic loser who sings like a bad child singer. So, I had no choice, but to keep my music and demo tapes locked away for a really long time, and I have never released or written a song, made a demo tape or an album since then."
As Mina sighed sadly, while wiping away a single lone tear from her eye, Sonic stared at the mongoose girl in stunned silence and disbelief. This young, talented and beautiful girl, who has a talent for songwriting and singing, had been rejected by the fewer people of Bygone Island, when it was more of a tribal town and less than a populated village. It angered him just a little bit to hear that those old past people turned this girl down for having a sweet talent for singing.
"Unbelievable..." Sonic said, shocked, though calmly, "That's just absolutely unbelievable of those older people, Mina."
"I know, right?" Mina agreed, shrugging her shoulders, "But that was back way before these new and younger people came into this town, while the old ones who made fun of me left town a year after that little incident. I don't know if the newer townspeople will like my singing and songs now."
"Well, I guess all you can really do is hope for the best, and come up with a song they might like..." Sonic advised, rubbing his chin with his hand.
Mina nodded in response, as she said, "Yeah, I guess so. Thank you, Sonic."
The blue hedgehog nodded in reply, as he looked carefully at the beautiful mongoose girl. He was suddenly beginning to admire her once again, seeing that Mina looked really beautiful in his green emerald eyes. And coincidentally, Mina had the same green coloured eyes within her appearance, so that was one similarity that the two had together.
"Mina is so beautiful and really nice..." Sonic said to himself, as his heart thumped in his chest again.
But then, as Sonic sighed gently to himself, before he quickly shook himself out of his sudden daydream, much to Mina's concern.
"Um, Sonic?" Mina questioned, "Are you feeling alright? You seemed to have been daydreaming again by the looks of it."
"Oh, yeah..." Sonic replied, chuckling nervously, "Sorry about that, Mina. That happens to me sometimes, although today it seems to have been getting the better of me."
Mina just nodded and moved away from the subject, as Sonic came back to the real world, before he spoke up to the girl again, only with a curious look on his face. He wondered if he could hear Mina sing with her voice, even if she needed to sing a small verse for him.
"Say Mina..." Sonic said, rubbing the side of his head.
"Yes Sonic?" Mina asked, smiling politely.
"Could I... um... hear your singing voice? If that's... ok?" Sonic asked, feeling a little nervous for some unknown reason.
Mina looked at Sonic for a moment feeling a little bit surprised and a bit unsure about the blue hedgehog wanting to hear her singing voice. She had not sung a song for quite a long time, and ever since those older, miserable people of the island made fun of her talent before they moved away, Mina didn't have the courage to actually sing to someone or anybody else on the island.
"Umm..." Mina then said, scratching her hair, "I... I don't know, if I can... Sonic."
"It's just that I heard you singing to yourself, this morning..." Sonic began to say ...
... before he was suddenly cut off by a startled Mina.
"Wait..." Mina interrupted, startled, "You... heard me singing to myself?"
"Well, um... y-yeah..." Sonic responded, chuckling a bit nervously, "But... when I heard you sing... it was... b-beautiful. I haven't heard a singing voice as really nice as yours, Mina."
There was a long silence before Mina began blushing at Sonic's kind words and admiration for her singing voice. No one in the current time had actually said something really nice about her singing talent, apart from her parents. It gave the mongoose a warm feeling inside her heart, seeing that this blue hedgehog had said something really nice to her.
Mina giggled at Sonic a little bit, which made Sonic chuckle back in response.
"Thank you, Sonic..." Mina giggled, "That's very nice of you to say. No one has ever said anything nice about my singing talent, except for my parents."
"Heh, you're very welcome..." Sonic replied, grinning and folding his arms over his chest.
The mongoose girl then began thinking about her singing talent, before she looked back up to Sonic, who was smiling at her, while trying to not go into his daydreaming self. Mina then smiled to Sonic, as an idea came into her mind.
"I'll tell you what, Sonic..." Mina said, smiling and clasping her hands, "I'll make a deal with you. Let's get lunch at Meh Burger first, and then I'll give you a little sample of my singing talent."
Sonic listened carefully to Mina, before he nodded and grinned to her, liking the sound of that little deal that she was offering to the blue hedgehog. Holding his hand out, Sonic waited for Mina to shake on the deal offer.
"It's a deal!" Sonic said, grinning.
"Great!" Mina replied, smiling and shaking Sonic's hand, confirming their deal.
After the two new friends shook hands, Sonic then got a challenging grin on his face, as he was feeling in the mood for a little race into town. It was what he would normally do and he would always outrun anyone who would be unable to keep up with his running speed. But what Sonic didn't know was that he would find out something surprising about this mongoose girl.
Sonic then turned to face Mina, who was politely smiling to her new friend. And the blue hedgehog had to admit that Mina's purple and yellow colored long hair was absolutely stunning in the sunlight. He had never seen anyone with hair that beautiful before in his life. But Sonic managed to avoid drifting off into daydream zone, as he spoke to Mina again.
"Hey Mina, do you fancy a little race into town?" Sonic offered, feeling energetic, and making Mina smile brightly.
"Oh, you are so on, Sonic!" Mina replied, laughing a bit as she did, "I haven't been running in a while! Let's just see how fast they say you are!"
"Oh, trust me, I'm really fast!" Sonic said, chuckling, "I'm the fastest thing alive on this island! I've managed to beat Eggman at an eggs and spoon race in the past during a sports day event!"
Hearing that little cheeky comment, Mina laughed up a bit of a storm, finding this hedgehog had a good sense of humour within him. She hadn't met anyone that was so funny before, until she met this heroic blue hedgehog. It felt nice to meet someone who could make her laugh.
"Alright, Sonic..." Mina said, grinning and rubbing her arms, "The first one to reach Meh Burger in town, must buy the winner lunch!"
"You're on, Mina!" Sonic responded, stretching his legs a bit to get himself ready.
Giggling, Mina Mongoose then got herself into a starting position, getting herself ready for a race with Sonic the Hedgehog, who was apparently the fastest thing alive on Bygone Island. Though, the blue hedgehog would soon find out that he was not the only fastest thing alive.
Sonic got himself in a starting position, standing next to Mina, as they looked towards the open and empty jungles of Bygone Island, which led to the village on the other side of all those trees and bushes, which stood in their way, though not enough to block their race into town.
"Alright Mina..." Sonic said, being a bit overconfident, "Are you ready to race the fastest thing alive?"
"We'll see about that, once I get through all of this forest before you, Sonic!" Mina replied, giggling cutely, which made Sonic blush a little, which quickly disappeared before Mina could see it.
"Right!" Sonic responded, chuckling confidently and getting ready for his trademark take off, "Here we go! We shall race, in three... two ..."
But then ...
*BOOM!*
... before Sonic could finish the countdown, a supersonic blast was then heard beside him, and Sonic the Hedgehog was then literally left in a cloud of dust, as Mina Mongoose was then seen rocketing off at supersonic speed, running off into the jungle, with a flowing purple aura seen making a trail behind her, as well as shining around her a little bit.
Once the small dust cloud cleared away, Sonic coughed and looked with wide eyes of shock, as he saw Mina running at supersonic speed just like him. He had just been left in the dust by a girl who he had rescued from Eggman, and he didn't even know that she had another special ability other than her singing!
Mina had supersonic speed!
"O-One?!" Sonic exclaimed, clearly shocked by this head-start the mongoose has just gotten.
Quickly as he possibly could, and shaking the dust off himself, Sonic immediately rocketed off at supersonic speed, with his blue aura trailing behind him, as he attempted to catch up to Mina, who had left him behind in the dust.
"Hey! Wait up, Mina!" Sonic exclaimed, as he ran into the jungle to catch up with the speeding mongoose girl.
Back in the present time, Sonic could be seen sitting in his chair, looking at his current friends in Tails' basement, who looked at him with keen interest and stunned looks. And Sonic just chuckled off the fact that he revealed he was left behind in the dust by his past girlfriend.
"I then found out that Mina had the same supersonic speed just like I had..." Sonic explained to his friends, "And that was the first time that anyone has ever burned me off or out ran me."
"Whoa! Wait a minute, Sonic!" Knuckles exclaimed, "You're telling us that I was running at the same speed as you, all because of a pill that Tails told me not to take, when I did?! And I was Mayor Fink's daily message carrier?!"
Everyone in the room, including Sticks and Zooey, just sighed in annoyance at Knuckles, sensing that he didn't pay attention to the part of Sonic being burned off by Mina Mongoose about five years ago. Mind you, nobody is going to pay attention to you at all, if they don't exactly listen to you carefully, so we know how that feels in the real world.
"That was already explained and established earlier on, pinhead..." Sticks scolded, clearly annoyed by the echidna's cluelessness.
"Hey! Who are you calling pinhead?" Knuckles asked, scratching his head.
"So, Mina Mongoose actually got a head start before you in your race, Sonic?" Zooey asked, curiously, while trying her hardest not to laugh.
"Yep..." Sonic replied, nodding and smirking, "She really took me by surprise that day with her supersonic speed."
"I never knew that, Sonic..." Amy cut in, feeling humorous by that little memory, "She must've possibly dethroned you as the fastest thing alive on this island."
Hearing that funny little comment from the pink hedgehog, made Sonic Actually laugh a bit, which in turn soon started making everyone in the basement laugh together for a few seconds, finding this little joke to be funny. Of course, apart from Mina Mongoose, or even Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic knew that nobody, including his robotic doppelgänger, Metal Sonic, and not even that green shrimp, Swifty the Shrew, could ever dethrone the blue hedgehog, as the fastest thing alive on Bygone Island, or in Hedgehog Village.
Once the laughter died down, Tails then cut in, curious to find out on how Sonic's race with Mina went on, before they reached town.
"So, what happened next in your race, Sonic?" Tails questioned, "Did Mina out run you and beat you to the town?"
"Did she admit that she was much faster than you or Knuckles?" Sticks added, curious to find out.
"Well, that's where I was just getting to, guys..." Sonic responded to both Tails and Sticks, as he looked to his friends, who gathered back around him, "Our race was quite fast and very exciting..."
As Sonic started his backstory again, we return to the jungle five years ago, where Mina Mongoose could be seen running fast through the trees and bushes, with her legs running at a quick pace, and her trailing purple aura flowing right behind her, similar to Sonic's trademark aura. For the first time in who knows how long, Mina felt like she was free whenever she was running fast.
"This is feeling really great!" Mina said to herself, laughing happily, "I haven't run this fast in ages! Just feeling the wind going through my hair and the sense of speed and freedom just feels amazing! And what's amazing as well, is that I managed to get a head start before Sonic could!"
As Mina laughed heartily to herself at that funny little bit, she then could see Sonic was catching up to her, until he was able to pull up alongside her while running with his blue aura trailing behind. So, being a little fair to her new speedy friend, Mina slowed down a bit to let the two of them run alongside.
And when she saw the surprised look on Sonic's face, it almost made Mina laugh again, as she had just managed to surprise him with her special ability.
"You took your time, Sonic!" Mina giggled, "What's wrong? You're too slow?"
"You... You've got super speed like me, as well?!" Sonic asked, clearly stunned by this revelation.
"Of course I have!" Mina responded, laughing, "I was born with this ability. We mongooses have the same speed as hedgehogs like you."
"B-But..." Sonic stuttered, who was confused himself, "No other hedgehogs that I know of ... except for Shadow... can match my speed! I'm the only one!"
"Hehe, not today you aren't, Sonic!" Mina retorted, giggling as she did, "Now, are we going to race to town, or are you going to put some serious drag on your shoes looking like that?"
Thinking it over, Sonic knew that he was the fastest thing alive, at least until Mina burned him off at the starting line. If he was to prove to her that he could out run her to the Unnamed Village, then he would have to run at Mach 1 to try and beat this girl in the race.
Grinning challengingly, Sonic then looked at Mina and smirked at her, with his slight overconfidence getting the better of him.
"Oh ho! I'm so gonna beat you to town, Mina!" Sonic replied, "You haven't seen my true super speed just yet!"
And with that being said, Sonic then gave a burst of energy and ran off ahead quickly, going as fast as his legs could carry him. The aura around him was bright blue and the jet engine like sounds from his feet could be heard as he ran ahead. Though he was only meeting his match, as he had no idea who he was up against in terms of speed.
Mina watched Sonic run ahead of her, and she only chuckled as she trailed behind for a few more seconds.
"We'll just see about that, sugar plum..." Mina chuckled...
... before she gave a small burst of boost energy, getting up to Mach 1 herself, and having her bright purple aura flowing behind her, as she raced off to catch up to her new friend and hopefully beat him to town before he could.
For the next few minutes, Sonic and Mina raced through the jungle side by side, leaving trails of blue and purple aura behind them as they sped past the many trees. For a while, it seemed as if neither would get the upper hand, as they stayed side-by-side, each thinking one would get that extra boost over the other.
Up ahead, the town of the Bygone Island was quiet and peaceful as always, with the limited amount of villagers seen walking around, minding their businesses and keeping up with their daily activities. As mentioned before, there were not many building seen around the small population, and until the money could be found, the town would have to stay like this for quite a while.
Then, as the town bystanders walked around, and looked in the small market place, the unfamiliar sound of supersonic jet engine speed could be heard coming from in the jungle. Everyone, or just a few odd people, looked at the jungle opening, and for a moment no one As there, before they saw Sonic and a mongoose girl running next to him, in which some of the townspeople might or might not have seen before.
Nevertheless, when the people saw the two rocketing towards town, they immediately ran off to either side, clearing the way as they had a mini panic attack of some sorts, despite nothing bad going to happen.
Then, as Sonic and Mina were nearing the end of the jungle into town. Sonic was in for another surprise...
Just as he was about to put on his final burst of speed as they approached the town, Mina suddenly did it before him, and she pulled away from the stunned hedgehog.
Mina sped into the town square several seconds before Sonic did, and the cobalt speedster could only stare at her in awe. He couldn't have imagined himself being defeated in a running race, particularly by a girl. Now, he was beginning to think more than ever that Mina was absolutely amazing.
"Surprised?" smirked Mina.
"I didn't think anyone could ever beat me," muttered Sonic in shock.
"Well, you can't say that ever again!" chuckled Mina, "It seems you've finally met your match, Sonic!"
"I suppose I'll have to agree with you there!" replied Sonic, "So ... I guess I will be buying lunch for the both of us?"
"Of course, Sonic..." Mina smiled, nodding, "I'd eat a chili dog any day!"
Sonic was surprised to hear that. He had wondered if he and Tails were the only ones in town who adored chili dogs, but now it seemed that there was finally another person who had a liking for chili dogs as well.
"Wait... you like chili dogs?" he said.
"I love chili dogs," said Mina as they began their walk to Meh Burger.
"So do I!" said Sonic with a big grin, "I absolutely love chili dogs! They've been my favorite food ever since I was a little boy! I could never go a whole day without one!"
Mina laughed. She was happy to find a friend who could share her delight for chili dogs, especially one who could say that they were his most favorite food on the whole planet.
"Fascinating!" she smiled.
A few minutes later, the duo arrived at the go-to place for all chili-dog lovers: Meh Burger. Although the name suggested that hamburgers were the food that everyone would talk about, it was the chili dogs that always kept Sonic coming back here every day for lunch.
An elderly female walrus was operating the cash register, and she smiled once she spotted Sonic and Mina approaching. She had gotten along very well with Sonic and Tails whenever they stopped by for lunch. To her, the hedgehog and fox were like a couple of everyday friends. It saddened her as she remembered that she was planning to retire soon.
"Ah, my favorite customer," she greeted Sonic politely, "And I see you've found a new friend, too."
Mina blushed as Sonic simply gave the cashier his everyday smile.
"What can I get you? The usual?" asked the cashier.
"Yup!" said Sonic, "And one for Mina here, too. In fact, make it two Chilli Dogs each for us please."
"You got it," smiled the cashier, and she wrote something down on a tiny slip of paper and set it down on the table behind her, "Two regular chili dogs!"
She turned back to her two customers, "That comes to $5.39."
"Here ya go!" said Sonic, pulling out a $10 from one of his gloves and leaving it on the counter.
"Thank you," smiled the cashier, and she handed the hedgehog $4.61 back as change, "Your food will be ready in a moment."
"Thanks!" said Sonic, giving her a thumbs up, and he and Mina sat down at one of the tables.
"Do you come here every day for chili dogs, Sonic?" asked Mina.
"Not quite every day, but at least several times a week," answered Sonic, "Tails and I really enjoy coming here whenever we have lunch together."
"I can see," said an impressed Mina, "You know, I'm thinking that maybe sometime soon you should introduce me to Tails. He sure seems like a nice kid."
"He most definitely is, Mina," replied Sonic, "Next chance I get, I'll take you over to his house. Once you meet him, you'll find that he's such a sweet-natured soul."
"Now you really have me excited," commented Mina.
The two shared a laugh, and a few seconds later a waiter came to their table with two chili dogs for each of them, two for Mina and two for Sonic.
"Nothing but the best chili in town!" he said as he set two plates down, each with one chili dog, "Bon appetit!"
"Thanks, waiter," grinned Sonic as the waiter left, and the two were left in peace to enjoy their lunch, although they would soon find that the peace wouldn't last for too long, as they tucked into their chilli dog meals.
Meanwhile, Amy was just walking out of her hut home, having just finished having a lie down, after being spun around like a top, thanks to Sonic and Knuckles running fast past her and causing her to get dizzy in the first place. But now, after lying down for over 20 minutes, Amy began to feel much better and more balanced.
Right now, Amy was once again looking for Sonic, hoping to try at a second time to ask him to the Dance Under The Stars event, tonight. Though in just a few moments, she would be in for another surprise, but thankfully, this surprise wouldn't involve spinning again, because this time, Amy was taking great caution for any sign of Sonic or Knuckles running at crazy speeds.
"Well, I think I'm feeling so much better, now that I've taken a few minutes to stop my head from spinning from those two speed demons..." Amy said, to herself, "I hate it when they make me spin around unexpectedly. But now, I've got to find Sonic and ask him about the dance event that's happening, this weekend. This time, nothing will make me spin around."
As Amy walked into town again, she could see everyone was having a nice day and doing their usual quiet activities. Nothing bad was happening, Eggman wasn't around to stir up some trouble, and not one soul was having a bad day so far. The pink hedgehog had left her hammer in her home, so the need for it was not necessary for the time being.
But then, as Amy turned a corner that led into Meh Burger ...
... she saw Sonic sitting at a table, before she saw that he was sitting with a mongoose girl that she had never met or seen before, at the table where the blue hedgehog was. The two were laughing and having fun, as they were eating their chilli dogs for lunch.
This only made Amy stare at this little scene in stunned silence. She had never seen her secret crush sitting with another girl at a table at Meh Burger before. As she could recall, the only time Sonic would sit with someone here is either with the team, or just with her alone. But now, seeing Sonic sitting with a mongoose girl just made the pink hedgehog stare in disbelief.
"Sonic has ... fallen in love with somebody else?" Amy murmured to herself, "Am I ... dreaming? Is this all a nightmare?"
To see if she was hallucinating or having a bad dream, Amy quickly rubbed her eyes and checked to see if she wasn't hallucinating. But when Amy looked again after blinking two times, it turned out she was dreaming at all. Sonic was with another girl, and although from her eyes it looked like they were in love, what she didn't know was that Sonic and Mina were just being friends is all.
But something in Amy did start to boil just a little bit inside her body, something which she hadn't experienced before. And it all related on her secret crush on Sonic, as well as relating to the fact that he was with a girl she had never met before.
This was known as a bit of ... jealousy ... inside of Amy's soul.
"Hmm..." Amy thought, frowning at the two, "I think I'd better speak to Sonic about the girl he's currently sitting with."
Although Amy normally was a bit on the short tempered side, she did have a sweet and nice side to her as well, which usually blocks out her short temper. And the first thing that Amy would do to new people would be to great them nicely and politely. Well, she'd had to do that anyways, since Sonic was around, and the last thing this town needed was a great boatload of trouble.
But that boatload of trouble would most likely happen much later on in the story, as Amy went to see Sonic and his new friend.
Sonic and Mina have started to get a little closer together, but Amy has started to become jealous. I might warn you now that she will get more jealous as the story goes on, but more on that much later...
COMING UP IN CHAPTER FOUR: Sonic gets a taste of Mina's singing voice.
