It was the same as any other day for Sonic the Hedgehog; he started the day with a morning run, followed by his afternoon chase. There was just one thing missing, the most crucial element to his afternoon activity...

"Sonic!"

As if on cue, Amy Rose appeared from the mist of the morning, breaking through to bring Sonic to the noon. His heart jolted, accelerating almost immediately to an alarming pace. A rush went through his body, the same rush that the blue hedgehog had felt surging through his veins nearly every regular day.

"I swear I'll catch you today!" Amy smirked confidently, with Sonic mirroring her expression. Both hedgehogs stood at a standstill for a moment, before Sonic finally spoke up.

"If you think you can keep up!"

Off they went, pink chasing blue, and blue trying to outrun the strange thumping that resonated in his mind.

'I'll never let you catch me, Amy Rose. I can't let you know what you do to me.'


While a lot of people tend to say Sonic is either shy/afraid Eggman will harm Amy, I prefer the idea that Sonic doesn't like feeling so weak around someone, or that he isn't familiar with the feeling Amy gives him, so he runs.

I think I might try my take on an in character ShadAmy. Mostly because I like challenging myself to do things I'm unfamiliar with. In other news, I think I may put on my profile soon this Sonic fan fiction challenge, where I have many generic ideas listed that have to be written well and stuff. Sort of like a Sonic 100 Theme Challenge! Except I can't come up with 100 yet. Anyway I've rambled for long enough, I hope you enjoyed!
