Revised

Hello peoples, weirdoes and pie eaters. I have the seventh chapter for you and I hope you review it because I worked hard on it (Not that hard but still hard). In this chapter, instead of the clue, there will be the party that was talked about in the previous chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic and friends, Sega and Sonic Team own them. The only thing I own is the idea. Now, on with the story.

Chapter 7: The Party/ The end?

Saturday, February 20th

Cream sat there staring at here crying best friend. She wished she had known that going to the party was a bad idea so that she could've warned Amy.

(Earlier that day)

"Okay Rouge, should I wear this or this?" Amy asked the older girl while holding up two, different outfits. Rouge gave the outfits a hard look before answering.

"That one," she said while pointing to the one in Amy's left hand. It was a white tank top with black stripes and jeans. Well, it is a Sally Party. Why should she dress up for someone that she hates? Amy had woken up that morning to the sound of pounding on her front door. Dragging herself out of bed, she rushed down the stairs as fast as possible to get the pounding to stop. When she opened the door she was irritated to find out who ruined her morning. It was Rouge.

"What're you doing here?" Amy asked rubbing her eyes and yawning. Rouge rolled her eyes as if it was obvious.

"We're going shopping, sugar, for the party. Why aren't you dressed?" She asked curiously. Amy didn't even bother to question why she had to be dragged along to go shopping for Rouge. She knew not to. If she did, well, she'd regret it. So Amy just looked inside at the clock. It was 10am.

"Um I just woke up. I normally get up by eight on weekends," she answered her. Rouge nodded in understanding.

"Well, get dressed, we're late!" Rouge said pushing Amy up the stairs and into the bathroom as if she owned the place. She wasn't even invited in! After getting ready, Amy was going to take some money when Rouge told her to put it down.

"Honey, I'm buying. It's the least I can do for waking you up," Rouge explained. Amy blinked twice in surprise but agreed. Then they were out. Amy practically carried everything Rouge bought. And it wasn't even her clothes. Amy wondered if that was how Sonic felt going shopping with her. She giggled as she remembered how he struggled with everything she bought. Amy didn't even ask him to carry the things! When she asked why he wouldn't let her carry anything he said that he wouldn't be a gentleman if he did.

Rouge had looked behind her when she noticed that Amy wasn't beside her anymore. Seeing the pink hedgehog struggle, Rouge offered to buy something for her but Amy refused. She said that she didn't want to feel like she owed her for buying anything. And that she would wear something that she already had to the party. So after the long shopping day it was six. An hour before the party started.

"Now that you finally have an outfit, please put it on so we can go! I'll wait in my car!" Rouge yelled from the middle of the stairs. Amy laughed at how impatient Rouge was when she was the one who had to follow her around all day while she bought out the ENTIRE mall. Though a bit annoyed by Rouge's behaviour, Amy complied with her request and quickly put on the outfit and added a little make up. Then, she headed to the car waiting for her outside. Even though she normally was 'fashionably late', Rouge had apparently made a bet with Shadow that she was able to arrive early to Sally's party. And she was not losing.

Yet Amy was still surprised at the fact that she was still alive with Rouge's fast driving skills. She was even more surprised at how they weren't pulled over by the police for speeding. After Amy calmed down from the panic attack given to her by a certain bat, she looked at the house. Or mansion. It was at least three stories and Amy could only imagine how the inside looked.

"The slut lives here?" Amy asked Rouge, or no one. Somehow, when Amy wasn't looking, Rouge had found Shadow and was asking for her money. Amy sighed and rolled her eyes at the two before continuing on inside. The house looked even bigger on the inside. The lights were dim and the music was blasting. Amy could barely hear herself think. She saw a few familiar faces around but none that she was close to. Scaring her, Amy felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she was greeted with the face of the slut of the party.

"It's very rude of you to just walk into a party and not greet the hostess. Anyway, glad you could make it, girly," Sally said over the loud music while giving an evil smile.

'She probably says that to everyone who shows up to her party,' thought Amy. Her nose wrinkled in disgusted at the sight of what Sally was wearing. She had on a short, dark green cocktail dress with fish net stockings. As for the shoes, black, five inch strappy heels, increasing the slut look. Amy could bet that if the slightest wind blew up the dress, Sally's underwear would be on view for everyone to see. Turning back to Sally, Amy smiled slyly.

"Thanks," she said sarcastically. Sally scowled. Amy smirked feeling a bit overconfident. 'Just like Sonic,' she thought. Speaking of the blue hero, looking over her shoulder, Amy caught sight him. He was laughing at something Knuckles said. Amy felt her heart beat faster as she watched him. She unknowingly smiled when his eyes had caught her stare. She was just about to go over to him when she faintly heard someone clear their throat.

"Amy?" the person called.

"Huh?" Amy replied shaking out of her phase. She was disappointed to find that when she looked at the person, it was Sally. 'So, you're still here, huh?' Amy thought to herself, annoyed. 'She probably just doesn't want me to talk to Sonic.'

"Do you want a tour 'cause it's your first time here?" Sally asked sounding surprisingly nice. Amy eyed her suspiciously. Well, she must really want her away from Sonic if she's willing to hang out with her. Besides, If Amy hung out with Sally, then that meant that Sally wouldn't be going near Sonic either. So, in a way, Amy would be doing Sonic a favour. Amy inwardly laughed knowing that that wasn't the real reason why she would be hanging out with Sally.

"Sure, I'd like that," Amy hesitantly told her. Hearing that, Sally did that evil smile again. Seeing that, Amy instantly knew that she was going to regret going on this little 'tour'. Automatically, Amy took a step back away from Sally but it was too late. She'd already agreed. Sally then started to drag Amy around the mansion stopping by each room, telling her the name of it and if she was able to go in the room or not. For example:

"Okay Amy, this is the teenage lounge. You're just lucky that I let you come in here."

Drag, drag, drag.

"This is the living room. Do not go in there. Your clumsiness could break something "

Drag, Drag, Drag.

"Over there is the kitchen. You are not allowed to go in there. If you need to anything food related, find someone who is allowed to go in there."

DRAG, DRAG, DRAG!

Believe it or not, there were more disallows than allows. Surprising huh? After Sally was sure that Amy's arm would drop off any second, she gave Amy one last warning.

"And if I find out that you were in one of the rooms you're not supposed to be in, well, it's not gonna be pretty," she threatened. Amy could only nod her head as she was too tired to say anything. When Amy nodded, Sally smiled brightly and strutted off in another direction.

'I bet she feels great knowing that she finally did something to me,' thought Amy. When she finally caught her breath, Amy pushed her way through the crowd trying to remember where the teenage lounge was. Funnily enough, the only thing the 'tour' helped her with was with knowing what rooms were in the house. She knew absolutely nothing about where they were. The only thing she remembered about the location of the teenage lounge's location was that it was on the third floor. 'Oh yeah, I was right about the mansion being three stories high.' When she finally reached the stairs, she was too tired out from Sally's 'tour' and pushing through the crowd that she just sat on the first step, resting.

"Having fun?" a voice said startling Amy. She looked beside her to see that Silver had sat down beside her.

"Well let's see. If being woken up rudely by Rouge to go clothes shopping for her, nearly dying because of her driving, nearly having my arm ripped off from Sally's 'tour'," Amy added the finger quotes to show what she meant. "Then having to climb two sets of stairs just to get to one of the places I'm allowed to go in this house is called fun then I'm having lots." Silver smirked at her sarcasm.

"You've been hanging around Sonic way too much," he commented. Amy raised her eyebrows and playfully slapped Silver's arm.

"I have not!" she protested and Silver laughed. "I haven't even talked to him since I came here. Anyway, where's Blaze?" Amy could see Silver trying to hide his face and she knew he was blushing. It was no secret that they liked each other. Only they themselves couldn't see it.

"Why would I know? Come on, I don't always know where she is." Amy gave him a knowing look.

"Silver."

"Okay, she said that she wasn't coming because she wanted to sleep over Cream's house," he explained. Amy sighed at the response. First Cream, now Blaze. And Tikal said she didn't do parties like Sally's so she's not at the party either. Maybe she should have stayed home like the rest of her friends. Only Rouge came but she was nowhere to be found! Amy felt more alone now than ever.

"Thanks for talking, Silver. I think I'm ready to move now," she told him getting up. Silver nodded his head getting up as well. Amy gave him a quick hug before heading up the stairs to the third floor. When she finally reached the top, she looked around the hallway for a door like the one leading to the teen lounge but there was one problem. They all looked the same! Amy knew that the lounge wasn't close to the stairs so she skipped the first few doors before starting to look in every room. Sometimes when she opened a door to one of the rooms, it happened to be one of disallowed rooms and when she realized that it was, she would close the door as quick as possible so that no one could see her and report to Sally. She also did the same when she happened to walk in on a couple in a bedroom doing, well, things that might scar you for life. It was even worse when she saw that Sally was one of the people she walked in on.

Luckily, Amy didn't have to open all the doors in the hallway because she eventually realized that the loud music wasn't just coming from the first floor. So she followed it to the last door in the hallway and it was the lounge. Amy shuddered to think about what would have happened if she didn't hear the music and follow it. Maybe she would be blind. The lounge had colourful lights shining all over it and it looked comfy. There were video games that anyone could join in on and there were couches all over the place so people could sit and talk. Amy looked around the room to see if she could find at least one of her friends. And she did find one. But she wasn't expecting to find this friend doing what they were doing.

Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds and Amy couldn't stop staring at him or the blond cat girl in his lap. She watched as everyone around them kept cheering. Sonic wasn't letting up in the kiss and he didn't look like he was stopping anytime soon. If anything, he looked more into it than before. Amy wanted to run, she wanted to cry but she didn't want him to see. Then why didn't she run while he was perfectly distracted? She was frozen. She couldn't move. That's why. Sonic finally pulled away from his make out session and only then did Amy move. She slowly backed out of the room and when she reached the door frame she sprinted.

Sonic laughed as the crowd cheered. Brianna, a blonde cat, got off of his lap and smiled at him before looking at something beyond the crowd. Noticing this, Sonic looked in the same direction just in time to see a flash of pink.

'Was that ...Amy?'

X X X

Reaching the back door, Amy pulled it open and ran as fast as she could to the nearby forest. Nobody saw it as strange to see a girl running through a party desperately. In fact, everyone just made way for it. Nobody asked any questions so she didn't have to answer any. Amy ran deeper into the forest, but not so deep that she couldn't see the house lights. Eventually, she slowed to a stop and climbed up the nearest tree, not wanting to be found if anyone came looking for her or just came in the forest, sat on a sturdy branch and hugged her knees to her chest. When she was sure she wouldn't fall out of the tree, Amy started to cry. She felt pain, why shouldn't she cry. She only hoped no one heard her. About five minutes of sobbing, Amy started to hear twigs snapping. Trying to stay quiet, she stopped my sobbing for a few seconds before she saw a shadow of someone. Then, the figure spoke.

"Rose?" said a deep voice. Amy recognized it right away.

"Shadow, what are you doing here?" she asked him. She saw his form shrug.

"I should be asking you the same thing. I normally come here in the middle of a party. You know, to be alone. Now, your reason for being here is?" he asked and answered. Amy thought about how much she could tell him.

"Running away from the party because I needed some alone time too," she replied. He only needed to know that much.

"Then why are you crying?" Amy had a feeling he would not stop asking questions. She once again considered telling him about what happened because they'd gotten closer during their tutoring sessions but decided not to.

"I can't tell you," Amy answered him.

"Why not?" Apparently, she was correct.

"It's personal," she told him. Then there was nothing but silence. After a while, Shadow spoke up.

"I'll be right back," he said before leaving her alone in the forest. Amy sighed once he was gone. She went back to thinking of why Sonic would kiss that girl but nothing came to mind so she gave up. After what felt like half an hour she heard a motor running. It sounded close and it seemed to be getting closer. Then she saw a light pierce the darkness and it was then that she knew what it was. Shadow had brought his motorcycle.

"You coming out of the tree or what?" he asked looking up into the tree when he reached her. Amy while wondering what he was planning to do jumped out of the tree and landed next to him. Shadow helped steady her before getting on the motorcycle and beckoning her to get on behind him, which she did.

"Where are we going?" Amy asked wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You'll find out. And are you complaining? I thought you loved riding motorcycles," he teased.

"I do."

"Okay, maybe I'll teach how to you someday." Amy smiled at the thought. In her car, she never felt as alive as she did when she rode Shadow's motorcycle. She actually understood why Sonic loved to run so much. It was exhilarating. UGH! Just thinking about him brought tears to her eyes. Then Shadow kicked off and they zoomed through the forest. Amy didn't pay attention to their surroundings because she buried her face in the back of Shadow's jacket. Eventually they stopped. When Amy looked up she saw a familiar house and in front of it were her two best friends. Amy hopped off the bike and ran straight to the cream coloured rabbit who she had come to think of as a sister.

"Amy, are you okay?" Cream asked concerned when she saw the fresh tears on her face. Amy hugged her while crying quietly. Blaze saw this and ran to hug her as well.

"Um, I'll leave you guys alone," Shadow said before turning to leave.

"Shadow wait!" Blaze called out. He turned back around to hear what she was going to say.

"Thanks for bringing Amy here," she said gratefully. Shadow nodded his head.

"I have to get back to Rouge, now. See you later Rose," he replied. Amy waved to him and he got back on the bike and soon enough he was not able to be seen. The girls went inside and when Vanilla saw Amy, she understood that they needed to be alone so she told them that she was heading to bed and then they were left with a crying Amy to deal with. They took her up to Cream's bedroom, where they were when they got Shadow's call. Blaze sat on the floor while Amy and Cream sat on the bed.

"Amy, what happened?" Blaze asked when Amy finally stopped crying enough to answer her.

"I went to the teenage lounge in Sally's house and I saw Sonic full on making out with some cat girl." Cream gave her a look filled with sympathy and hugged her again.

"I am so sorry," she told her.

"Don't be," Amy told the rabbit. "It wasn't your fault, besides, it's not like we were together. It was just him breaking my heart without knowing it." After saying all that, Amy began to cry again. Blaze joined in on the hug again. Amy was glad that she had Blaze and Cream as her best friends because when she was down they were always there to comfort her.

"Come on Amy. We can go get some Ice cream. That'll cheer you up!" Blaze exclaimed dragging Amy up of the bed. She resisted.

"No guys, I don't want to go anywhere. I don't want anyone to see me like this," Amy explained struggling to get out of her grip.

"So, what do you want to do?" They asked her simultaneously. Amy shrugged.

"I don't know but I do know one thing," she said sadly.

"What's that?"

"I'm gonna stop the clues. There's no point in going on if he's with someone else." Amy replied sounding even sadder than she did before. Blaze stared at her with disbelief.

"Amy, don't do that. He's tried so-," Cream begged before being interrupted.

"There's nothing that will change my mind. I'm not doing any more clues and that's that."

That's the end of this chapter. Hope you liked it. It's a bit longer than usual but the last chapter was shorter so I guess this makes up for it. So, will Amy really stop the clues? Why am I asking you when you could just read the next chapter? So please review. Anyway, Good day, Good night, Eat some pie, Until next time,
