I was doing research on Amy by going on the Sonic Wiki...did anyone else know that she has the ability to turn invisible?

Anyway.

This chapter has everyone's signature outfits (like how Amy always has her red dress and hammer, Cream with her orange one) but I'm putting my twist in it and adding changes. I got inspired by Tumblr and DeviantArt ;D

And the beginning was inspired by the actual Team Sonic story in Sonic Heroes! (I got that for Christmas! SCORE!)

Thinking about changing the story title...hmm...


Sonic sped through the grasslands with a superior grin, heading for Station Square. He was looking forward to see Amy today, though he'd never admit it out loud. They, along with Shadow and a few other friends, were going to train Maria; rather, they were going to see what she was capable of. The blonde hedgehog was currently staying with Cream and Vanilla since they had offered her a place to stay.

For today, he wore a sleeveless form-fitting navy shirt with white stripes on the shoulder blades, skinny jeans, and navy shoes with three white stripes on each side. Every pair of shoes Sonic owned were specially designed to adapt to the heat and friction that a normal person would create if they ran as fast as Sonic did.

He heard a plane's engine.

"Hey, look! There's Sonic now!" came Tails voice from above him, and soon enough as Sonic looked to his right, there was Tails; he flew the Tornado lower so he could talk to his best friend properly; the two-tailed fox wore flying goggles on his head, a white graphic tee with the sleeves cut off-the design was yellow paint splatters in the image of his logo, light skinny jeans, and brown converse. Knuckles was in a relaxed position in the back seat, arms behind his head and legs crossed and stretched out; he wore a sleeveless black jean jacket with the collar up, a red tank top with a picture of his white tattoo in the same place on his chest, black jeans with red on the hips and lower back of his legs, and red and black sneakers. He wore his gloves with the shovel claws built in them, and three arm bands with spikes to match-one on his right arm and two on his left.

"Hey, Tails! Knuckles! What's up?" Sonic asked without breaking stride.

"Sonic! Check this out!" Tails leaned over, handing him a piece of paper.

Sonic hopped up and grabbed it, switching himself around so he was running backwards. As soon as he saw the Eggman insignia at the upper left, his eyes narrowed as deja vu hit him. Just like the letter from last time, Eggman was moving in the paper, saying the words out loud as Sonic read. But there was something different about Eggman; first of all, he wasn't shaped like an egg, but rather slim and good-looking and young-like he was eighteen or something. His bronze hair was shaggy, and he had no mustache.

Mwuahahaha!

Sonic, my friend, it's been a while!

As you can see, I have been working hard on my next ultimate weapon...Or should I say weapons?

You wouldn't know what hit you!

You have four days until I come by your precious city. I have a surprise for you...

Think you can stop me? Think again!

And before I go...tell Miss Rose that I'll be really looking forward to seeing her again, haha...

That last line set Sonic's teeth on edge, but he kept his cool as always.

"Hmm..." he said. "Sounds like an invitation to party!" He turned back around, shoving the note in his pocket.

"What're we gonna do, Sonic?" Tails wondered with worry.

"No worries..." Knuckles said with a smug smile. "We've got this one."

"You know what?" Sonic said. "I think it's time to get the band back together."

"What does he mean?" Tails asked, looking over his shoulder at Knuckles for an explanation.

Knuckles shrugged. "Who knows?"

There was a knock at the door, making Shadow, Rouge, and Charmy looked up from where they sat on the couch; the three were watching a random movie-and it was one that Shadow wasn't particularly into. Shadow wore a black v-neck with a white bleeding skull on it, black skinny jeans, and black hover vans. Charmy wore a striped black and yellow polo, yellow skinny jeans, and black and yellow sneakers.

Rouge wore a short-sleeved black jacket that stopped short at the mid-drift; it had a buckle underneath the collar and showed off her bust, circling around it. Under that was a cropped shirt that had the same heart-shape as her other costume, pink at the top with a white outline around the heart and black around the bottom. Her black skin-tight pants had two black rhinestone belts and one white one with a pink stripe in the center. Her ankles were covered in three grey ankle bands with spikes on them. Her boots were white with pink hearts at the foot and had black heels. She also sported pink eye shadow, black eyeliner, and pink lip gloss.

Team Dark looked up when they heard the knock.

"I wonder who that is..." Rouge said, smirking simultaneously with Charmy as Shadow automatically got up to answer it.

"Shut up," Shadow grumbled.

"Aww, look Rouge, he's blushing!" Charmy laughed.

"I am not!" Shadow snapped as he opened the door; turning his head, his face completely relaxed at the sight of his best friend as if he hadn't said anything at all. "Hi, Maria," he said with a soft smile.

Maria giggled. She had heard the whole thing. "Hello, Shadow." Her hair was in a cute braid, cascading down her back and had flowers in it too; she wore a tube jean top tucked in a flowing white skirt that stopped at the knees. Wrapped around and separating the two fabrics was a brown belt, and she also wore denim wooden wedged sandals. Her makeup was light and simple. She clasped her hands in front of her, letting her arms hang down naturally. "What're we doing today?"

"We're gonna see what you can do," Shadow said simply, and she gave him a questionable look. "Don't worry. All will be explained in a minute." He looked back over his shoulder. "You guys wanna come?" he asked as Maria looked inside, waving at them. He grabbed his leather jacket off of the coat rack and put it on.

Rouge and Charmy waved back. "We'll catch up with you later," said Rouge, winking at Shadow.

Shadow sighed heavily. "Let's go." He came outside, closing the door behind himself.

"Is that yours?" Maria asked, pointing to the black motorcycle leaning against the garage door.

Shadow nodded. "Yep." He led the way over to it.

"Is it fast?"

"Hell yeah." He swung his leg over and got settled on it. He looked up at her, expectant. "Aren't you coming?"

Maria continued to look at it, cocking her head to the side. "How do I...?"

"Easy. Just get on behind me and wrap your arms around me."

Maria smiled, ready to try. "'Kay." She made her way over to where he sat, doing what he had done and swung her leg over. She scooted up closer to him, wrapping her arms around his torso. "Like this?"

Shadow gulped, his cheeks warming up a little. "Yeah." He started the motorcycle, causing it to let out a rumbling noise. "Hang on."

Maria tightened her grip around him as he backed out of the driveway and into the street. As soon as Shadow put the gear in drive, the motorcycle increased in speed.

Sonic walked down the streets of Station Square with Tails and Knuckles at his flanks. They were all going to meet at the Sea Gate, which is in a small canyon close to Seaside Hill, and where they were going to practice. There was plenty of open space and soft grass with a great view of the sea too.

Amy was already there, waiting patiently with her arms crossed. As soon as Sonic saw her, he came to an immediate stop.

"What's wrong, Sonic?" Tails followed Sonic's gaze the same time Knuckles did, and the echidna snickered. Tails snickered too. "Oooohhh."

Sonic hadn't heard him. He now had a dopey grin on his face, a dazed look in his eyes as he continued to stare at the pink hedgehog. Her quills were plain and straightened, two tied to the back while her bangs were left in place. Her makeup was simple, eyeliner and strawberry flavored lip balm.

Her outfit is what really got Sonic drooling. She wore a cropped sleeveless denim jacket, a fitted pink tube dress with black stripes (with the hem stopping an inch above her knees), and light green strapped wedges. The dress combined with her heels made her legs look longer and her slim figure curvier. He watched as she shifted her wait on one foot, causing her skirt to ride up a little on one side as she did so.

Sonic sighed blissfully before he suddenly realized what he was doing; he snapped out of his reverie, clearing his throat.

"We saw that," Knuckles pointed out, crossing his arms.

"Saw what?" Sonic looked from Knuckles to Tails, who crossed his arms too. "What?" They continued to stare at him with arched eyebrows. "Oh shut up!"

Amy looked up from her phone as the boys approached, her eyes lighting up when she saw Sonic.

"Hey!" she said. Self restraint, self restraint...don't hug him, don't hug him, don't hug him...! It's so hard not to!"I was just texting Cream and Maria. Cream's not far and Maria's getting a ride from Shadow."

"Cool," said Sonic. "I guess we're all early then." He stretched, yearning to go for a run. He noticed Amy staring at him. "What? Do I have something in my teeth?" His hand flew to his mouth to dig in-between the spaces of his teeth.

"No, no!" Amy said quickly, prying his fingers from his mouth. "There's nothing in your teeth."

"Something in my quills?"

"No...?"

"On my face?"

Amy's eyes suddenly flickered down, and they stayed there. "No..." Her muzzle warmed up.

"Wh-?" Sonic looked down to see her hands still wrapped around his. His own muzzle felt hot as they pulled away from each other at the same time, looking the other way.

"Wow," Knuckles said, and Tails shook his head slowly.

"Hello, everyone!" came a light voice from above, making the four look up. Cream came into view, waving at them; her orange hair was in loose waves at the ends and in low pigtails. She wore the same outfit she did at the party; a tube dress that flared at the hips (yellow, light green, blue, hot pink, and orange pattern) with matching furry boots.

"Hey, Cream!" Tails and Amy said in unison.

"Glad you made it." Sonic gave her his signature thumbs up and wink. Cream landed smoothly on her feet, squealing when Tails scooped her up in his arms and hugged her.

Amy smiled to herself as Tails and Cream shared a kiss. They are so adorable...she sighed.

While the gang waited for Shadow and Maria to show up, they talked among themselves and even took pictures. Sonic silently thanked the heavens that Cream suggested for him to take a few pictures with Amy-and they all came out perfect, according to a squealing Amy.

A motorcycle engine got their attention not long after and Shadow and Maria rolled in sight. Shadow pulled over to the side to park and cut the motorcycle off before getting off of it. Maria got to her feet too, straightening out her skirt.

Rouge and Charmy flew in together next, landing on their feet next to Shadow and Maria.

"Wow," Maria said. "You guys got here fast!"

"Eh, we try," Rouge said dismissively with a wave. She spotted Knuckles then, and she smirked. "Oooh, I think my day just got a whole lot better!"

Knuckles made a face as he saw Rouge head in his direction. "Oh Chaos..."

Sonic and Tails snickered.

"Better go get your girlfriend, Knuckie," Tails laughed.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Knuckles snapped, muzzle as red as his dreads.

"Sure, keep telling yourself that," Sonic said.

"Coming from the guy who already has one," Knuckles shot back at the blue blur.

"What're you-?" Sonic began just as Amy walked up to them.

"C'mon, Sonniku!" Amy gripped his wrist, tugging with excitement. She was oblivious to Sonic's pink face as soon as she touched him. "Maria's here! You said you were gonna help teach her about doing Spinning Attacks, remember?"

"Yeah. Go, Sonniku," Knuckles said with crossed arms and Tails was trying not to snicker-and failed.

Sonic was about to make a comment, but he felt his body fly off the ground as Amy pulled him along.

Knuckles felt Rouge's arm slither through his, making him wince.

"Hello, Knuckie," Rouge purred flirtatiously. "How've you been?"

Knuckles groaned in annoyance. "I was good until you showed up."

"Alright," said Sonic. "We're in a good open space for us to try this. Ready?"

Maria nodded. "Yes." She smiled.

"The first thing we're gonna learn is how to roll in a ball," Sonic continued, taking a few steps back. "Now, it's not too complicated. It's like a reflex, so you don't really have to think about it. You just..." His body blurred and Maria saw him as he transformed into a fast-spinning blue ball.

"Don't you get dizzy?" Maria asked when Sonic stopped spinning and got to his feet.

Sonic shook his head with a smug grin. "Wanna try or do you need some more demonstration?"

"Um..." Maria tapped her chin, turning to Amy. "Can you do it too?"

"All of us can," Amy said, and she went to go stand by Sonic. "See?" And, just like Sonic did, her body blurred before she shaped into a pink fast-spinning ball.

"What you don't wanna do is try to do that when you're by someone who's already doing it." Sonic whipped his head around, grinning at his best friend. "Right, buddy?"

Tails grinned. "Yeah. Definately."

Amy got to her feet. "Try it!" She said to Maria encouragingly.

Maria bit her lip, looking at Shadow next; he was standing quietly nearby, leaning against the canyon wall. She took a deep breath, her eyes flickering to the ground. Okay, she thought to herself. It's a reflex, like Sonic said. Don't think about it. Just...In a flash, her body fell forward into a rolling motion, becoming a golden ball herself. The ground was soft, and her vision rolled as her body did, as if end credits rolled in fast forward motion.

How do I stop?

Her arms flew out, and her spinning came to a stop as she landed on her butt.

Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Cream clapped, and Shadow nodded in approval.

"That was good for your first try!" Amy said, and Cream helped Maria off the ground.

"How do you feel?" Sonic asked the blonde hedgehog.

"A little light-headed," Maria admitted with a giggle, pinching her fingers together, and Amy giggled too.

"It just takes practice." Amy placed her hands on her hips.

Maria nodded, eager to learn new things. "What's next?"

"We should test your speed."

Shadow's voice caught everyone off guard; he hadn't spoken much since they got there.

"Like what, a race?" Maria gestured towards her shoes. "In these?"

"Actually, we have more durability than human females do," Amy said, coming to stand beside Maria now. "Running in heels is something that I'm the master at." She smiled. "Although if you think about it, then yeah, that'll slow you down."

"How do you think she's been able to keep up with me all this time?" Sonic said, and Amy blushed at that.

"You can run that fast?" Maria asked with wonder.

"Well, I can't run as fast as Sonic and Shadow, but yes." Amy looked at her own shoes. "Plus, kicking bad guy butt is more satisfying when you've got heels on."

Maria smiled. "Well, okay. Let's race!"

"You know I can't pass this up," Sonic said, now beside Amy and leaned down in a crouch. "First one to the beach wins!"

"Oh no you don't," Shadow protested, now on Maria's other side. "That's too far for them. And you'll cheat."

"Like you won't either?"

Shadow's eyes narrowed. "Is that a challenge, faker?"

"Guys!" Tails interjected before Sonic could, now floating over their heads with Cream. "How about this?-You two monitor Amy and Maria by running beside them. See who wins."

"Fine," Shadow and Sonic grumbled. Shadow sunk into a crouch, and Maria and Amy did the same.

"Give them a head start," Cream suggested, raising her arms. "On the count of three!"

"One!" said Tails.

"Two!"

"Three..."

"GO!"


Sooo, who's gonna win? Amy or Maria? I feel bad for leaving a cliffy, but I'm now working on the next chapter!

And Eggman? Skinny and handsome like an anime character? WHAT IS GOIN' ON?

Eh, you guys'll find out xD

Have a happy new year everyone!
