Chapter 10: Meet the Roses

Twas the night of the prom and everything was being set up into place. Sonic sat alone in the limo as his hired driver drove him to Amy's house.

"Well, here we are, Mr. Hedgehog." The driver said.

Sonic smiled. "Perfect, now wait here." He said before getting out. The blue hedgehog approached the beautiful suburban house and knocked on the door. A male white hedgehog with jade green eyes answered the door as he smoked his pipe. He was Amy's father aka Mr. Rose, an intimidating man who was protective over his daughter.

"Who the hell are you?" Mr. Rose asked.

"I'm Sonic, Amy's date for the prom." Sonic replied. "And you must be Amy's dad."

"One and only." Mr. Rose took a good look at Sonic, he didn't seem like the type he'd imagine his daughter with. "You go to the same high school?"

"Yep, that's how I know her." Sonic replied.

"Good grades?" Mr. Rose asked.

"Uh…..sure?"

Mr. Rose decided to let Sonic into the house. The two male hedgehogs sat in the living room as Mr. Rose stared Sonic down. It was a long awkward silence until Amy's mother walked downstairs.

"Well hello there, young man!" She greeted. "Are you Amy's date?"

Sonic got up to shake the hedgehog woman's hand. "Yep, that's me!" He said. Sonic took note on how the mother looked exactly like Amy except her mom had red fur and blue eyes. Mrs. Rose also had long quills but preferred to keep it in a low ponytail. She was beautiful, but Sonic really wanted to see Amy.

"Oooh this is so exciting! Amy should be down any second." Mrs. Rose informed. Sonic sighed in relief, it was nice to see a friendly face after being stared down by her protective dad. "Honey, your date is here!" Mrs. Rose called.

"Coming!" Amy replied from upstairs. Soon steps were heard as the pink hedgehog came down the stairs. Sonic held a white rose in his hand, ready to give to Amy.

Amy came down in a long green form fitting dress that had a somewhat low v neck. Her quills were also in a bun and makeup was tastefully done. Sonic couldn't take his eyes off her...to him, Amy appeared as a beautiful goddess. However Amy's smile disappeared when she saw Sonic.

"Sonic, what are you doing here?" Amy asked.

"I'm your prom date." Sonic replied. "You said you'd go with me."

"Yeah but I said I hated you…" Amy corrected.

"To be honest, Amy...after you said yes, everything was such a blur." Sonic said. Amy shook her head embarrassed.

"Wait so if he isn't your prom date, who is?" Mr. Rose asked his daughter. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Mr. Rose answered the door before Amy could say a word. Jet the Hawk was standing at the door wearing a suit and held a bouquet of flowers for Amy.

"And who are you?" Mr. Rose asked.

"I'm Jet the Hawk, Amy's date." Jet answered. "So you must be Mr. Rose?"

"I am." he replied. Suddenly Mr. Rose's attention turned from the hawk to the silver car next to his mailbox. The hedgehog father's eyes widened at the beautiful car.

"Is that...is that the new Cruiser 1000?" Mr. Rose asked.

"Yep, it's all mine." Jet replied.

Mr. Rose smiled proudly. "Well well guess my daughter got a good one. Come in, Come in!" he said. Jet walked into the Rose residence and saw Amy, Mrs. Rose, and ...Sonic.

"What's he doing here?!" Sonic and Jet said in unison.

"Well, Jet here told me he was Amy's prom date." Mr. Rose said.

"What? Amy..you're going with him?" Sonic asked.

"Well yes..Sonic..you knew I had that debate and you tricked me...now that costed me the whole debate." Amy said. "And yes, I agreed to go with Jet."

"B-But…"

"Sonic..please leave…" Amy instructed. Sonic sighed and walked out of the house in shame. He peaked through the window outside and saw Amy's mom taking pictures of her daughter and Jet.

"That should be me making her night memorable.." Sonic said sadly. The blue hedgehog went to the limo he rented here the driver was waiting for him.

"Where's your date, Mr. Hedgehog?" the driver asked, holding the car door.

"She's going out with him…"

"The guy with the Cruiser?" the driver asked.

"Yeah-..wait he has a cruiser?!" Sonic asked, jealous.

"I saw a green hawk driving it. To be honest, I don't blame Ms. Rose for going with him." the driver said.

"Shut up." Sonic said, putting his seatbelt.

The driver got into the limo. "So where to?"

"The prom of course, I'm still renting this ride." Sonic replied.

"Very well, sir." the driver said before driving to Chaos High.

Sonic sighed sadly and looked out the window at the night sky forming. "Maybe..maybe there's a way…to win her over.. "
