Sonic's POV
It's the next day. My eyes opened slowly. I sat up and stretched my arms above my head. I pushed the bed covers off of me. I rolled on my side, and on the floor my plastic leg was laying there. I grinned at it and picked it up. I put it on and stood up. I looked at my phone and I saw that I had a message from Tails. I texted Tails and tossed my phone on my bed.
"Good morning, sweetheart." My mother said.
"Morning mom! I'm ready to go to school today." I said sitting at the table.
"That's good to hear! Don't forget to take your pills to school."
"I won't."
I ate breakfast. I put my pills in a baggy and put them in a my backpack. I walked back upstairs and got changed. I brushed my teeth and put on a baggy pair of pants. I was still cautions of what people at school would think about my fake leg. I wasn't ready to be made fun of. I brushed off the bullying feeling and walked out the front door.
"Hey Sonikku!" Amy said.
"Hey Ames!"
"Ready for school?" Amy asked putting her arm out.
"As always!"
We locked arms and walked to school. I kept looking straight ahead. I could see out of the corner of my eye that Amy looked down at my leg.
"Do you want to see my leg again?" I asked.
"Oh no. I was just thinking about something." Amy said looking away from me.
"So, how's Silver?"
"Ugh. I'm going solo now."
"That's my Ames!"
"I'm doing 'Endless Possibilities'."
"R-Really? That's great!"
Amy and I arrived at the school. We unlocked arms I put my hands on my waist. I stopped in the front of the school. Amy looked back at me with a confused look at her face.
"I have to talk to Tails before school." I said.
"Alright. I understand. I'll see you at lunch."
Amy waved goodbye and went inside the school. I looked around and Tails wasn't here yet. I walked over to a tree and sat under it. I pulled out my phone. Tails never texted me. I put my phone away and watched students go into the school. I saw Knuckles coming towards the school. Knuckles needs to know what had happened to me.
"Hey Knuckles!" I yelled putting my hand up in the air.
Knuckles turned his head to the voice. He took a double take at the tree. He put his arms out.
"Sonic!" He yelled.
Knuckles ran over to me. We high fived each other and he sat in front of me. He was smiling and couldn't stop smiling. I smiled at Knuckles. I looked behind Knuckles and saw Tails walking towards us.
"Sonic!" Tails said jumping on me.
I fell on my side and Tails fell on me. Everyone laughed. Tails got up and put his hand on my leg... Fake leg. Tails quickly pulled his hand away and shook it. I sat back up and knew that Tails had touched my fake leg.
"You're so strong!" Tails said.
"I'm really not." I said lifting my pants up.
Tails and Knuckles' eyes went wide. They saw my fake leg. Tails took his hand and turned it into and first and knocked on it. Knuckles did the same thing. I pulled my pants down. They couldn't believe what they just saw on me.
"What. The. Fuck!?" Knuckles said. "Your leg!"
"I know. I got hit by a car." I said.
"Is that where you were all this time?" Tails asked.
"I was at Uncle Chuck's place because I had to do testing."
"What for? Don't hospital just give you a new leg?" Knuckles asked. "No questions asked."
"The testing..." I paused for a second. I bit my lower lip before talking. "Was for my cancer."
Tails and Knuckles put on a straight face. They kept starring at me and I was smiling. They both glanced at each other. They didn't know what to say. I knew this would happen. At least they didn't laugh or run away when I told them. I couldn't stand the awkward silent.
"I understand if you don't want to be friends with a one legged cancer freak." I said trying to stand up.
"We'll never leave you." Tails said helping me up.
"Yea! We've been friends for years! Nothing is going to change that!" Knuckles said grabbing my backpack.
I grinned at my friends. We all gave each other a quick hug so no one would see us. We walked into the school. Just in the time because the bell had rang. We went our different ways. I saw the track coach in the hallway. He stopped me and pulled me off to the side.
"Sonic! I heard what's going on." The coach said.
"I-I'm better now."
"I'll see you after school."
"Oh... I'm taking a break from running."
"Y-You're my best runner though."
"Yea well... When you only have one leg it's hard to run."
I left the coach and headed to class. I walked backwards looking at the coach. He turned around and starred at me. I snapped my fingers at him and winked. I walked into my class just as the bell rang. I took my seat and everyone was glad I was back. Who knew this many people would miss me! I've been gone for a very long time.
Amy's POV
It was lunch time now. I decide to eat outside. It was such a nice day outside! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Cream, Tikal, and I all ate outside. Cream and Tikal hugged Sonic once they saw him. I couldn't help but get this weird feeling in my stomach when they hugged Sonic. Anyways, we all sat down and began to eat.
"So, about that dance contest." Tikal began. "How's Silver doing?"
"I'm going solo." I said eating my lunch.
"What!? Why?" Cream asked slapping her hands on the table.
"Things weren't working out." I said not wanting to talk about it.
"I still can't believe you love to dance, Sonic." Tails said.
"Yea well... I used too. I can't do it now." Sonic said.
I looked at Sonic. He couldn't quit dancing! He's been dancing his whole life! We've made so much memories together from dancing! He can't quit! I won't let him! I'll teach him how to dance again.
"You're not quitting." I said a tone.
Sonic chuckled a little. He knew me. He knew I wouldn't change his mind. It's almost impossibly to change his mind. Believe me, I would know. Anyways, I went back to eating my lunch. I kept starring at Sonic. I couldn't believe he was going to quit dancing. He looked different. Well, he looked skinner. Mostly cause the chemo drained all his energy.
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you guys something!" I said.
"And that is?" Knuckles asked.
"I made it to the finals!"
"That's great!" Sonic said.
"But, Silver also made it. There are only three of us. Silver, this other guy and me." I said.
"You're gonna knock them dead." Tikal said.
"Also, I got you guys VIP passes! You can sit in the front row and go back stage." I said grabbing my backpack.
I gave all my friends the VIP passes. I couldn't believe I made it to the finals! This was going to be big for me! I would have to keep practicing dancing right after school! Soon, lunch was over and we all went to our remaining classes.
Once school was over, Sonic and I met each other outside of the school. We walked to my house. We put out backpacks in my room and got in my car. I drove to the dance studio. I couldn't help but feel weird when I was alone with Sonic. Something was different. I didn't like it, but at the same time I did like it.
"I'll watch you." Sonic said sitting on the floor.
"Alright. Can you press play on my Ipod?"
Sonic reached for my Ipod. He turned on the music and it began to play. I began to dance to the music. With the first few beats and I ran across the fall and kicked my feet up doing a split in the air. It felt weird dancing without Sonic. We dance to this song together.
"I wish I could dance with you Amy." Sonic said as the music ended.
"I know... W-We could try if you want."
Sonic put his hands out. I playfully rolled my eyes and walked over to him. I helped him up. Sonic took off his shirt and threw it at me.
"Hit me." Sonic said putting his hand in the air.
Normal POV
Amy laughed and she tossed Sonic's shirt off to the side. Amy started the music. They looked at each other and smiled. Sonic knew he could dance to this song. It might be harder though. But he didn't care if he messed it up. Sonic and Amy stood in the middle the room with their heads down and their feet apart.
"This is my escape. I'm running through this worlds and I'm not looking back." Sonic jumped back and then Amy jumped back. Sonic spun around and then Amy spun around. They put their legs together and put their pointer finger in front of them and waved it back and forth and looked behind them at 'I'm not looking back'.
"Cause I know I go, where no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back." Sonic and Amy did the same dance moves for this part of the song as the beginning.
"But how will I know when I get there?" Sonic stood in front of Amy and stood on his knees reaching his up and if he was yelling at the sky.
And how will I know when to leave." Amy walked in a circle around Sonic and she began to walk away but Sonic grabbed her leg and Amy turned her head facing Sonic.
"We've all gotta start from somewhere and it's right there for me, the possibilities are never ending." Sonic let go of Amy's leg and Amy put her finger under Sonic's chin and Sonic began to stand up. Sonic bends over and Amy rolled onto Sonic's back kicking her feet up and they stood next to each other again.
"I see it!" The Ipod sang as Sonic put one finger in the air.
"I see it!" The Ipod sang as Amy put one finger it the air.
"And now it's all within my reach, endless possibility!" Sonic and Amy twirled around waving their pointer finger from side to side. At the word 'reach' they reached out in front and them and put both their hands on their knees and the then jumped in the air at 'endless possibility'.
"I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (and now I feel so free) endless possibility." Amy wrapped arms around Sonic's neck and put her feet straight out and Sonic spun them around. When the song sang 'endless possibilty' Sonic put his hands on Amy's waist and lifted her in the air and Amy put her head back and her hands were on his shoulders.
When there was no vocal singing Amy ran off to the side and Sonic ran off to the other side. As soon as the Sonic heard the words he jogged to the center of the room and stopped.
"And so I'll carry on, my time to shine has come, I feel it! I feel it, I feel it!" At this point as if there was a spotlight shining on Sonic he bowed 4 times.
"As fast as I go. Straight to the top I know, you'll see it! You'll see it!" Amy started to run towards Sonic and he did a couple of flips and she jumped high enough for Sonic to catch her.
Before the next part Sonic quickly put Amy down. They touched their foreheads together.
"So please wake me up when I get there" Sonic and Amy moved in a circle still touching their foreheads together.
"It feels like I'm lost in a dream" Sonic and Amy stopped spinning and they held hands and Sonic spun Amy around. They held hands and faced each other and Amy bent backwards on the word 'dream'.
"I know in my heart that's it my time, and I already see the possibilities are never ending!" Sonic and Amy let go of each other's and they turn towards each other. As they were holding a microphone they sang that part of the sang.
When the lyrics hit, they did the same dance moves. Since the next part of the song didn't have any vocals for a while, Amy started to spin like a ballerina.
"Drop that smile cause you're beaten again" Sonic fell on his knees as if he was had just lost something important to him.
"No this is where my journey begins!" Sonic jumped in the air and he started to run as fast as he can.
"You're losing speed, you're losing your flow." Amy stopped spinning and Sonic is in front of her. She places her pointer finger on Sonic's chest and Amy walks towards Sonic and Sonic backs up from Amy with his hands in the air as if he just got arrested.
"But inside beats a power you'll never, then let it out, it's inside you. You better all stand back cause I'm coming through!" Sonic stops walking backwards and grabs Amy's wrist. He spins her around and she started to spin like a ballerina again and Sonic does this too.
"This is my escape. I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back." A second before Amy stops spinning, Sonic had already stopped spinning. When the words play Amy leans back and Sonic hold her by the waist and Amy has one hand behind Sonic's neck. Sonic slowly pulls her up and their noses touch each other.
"Cause I know I can go, where no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back." Sonic and Amy do the same dance moves as the beginning of the song.
"But how will I know when I get there?" Sonic takes Amy by the hand and spins her around again and he bows to her.
"And how will I know when to leave?" Amy kicks up her leg and then bows to Sonic.
"We've all gotta start from somewhere, and it's right there for me, the possibilities are never ending." Sonic and Amy turn towards each other with their arms straight behind them. When the words say 'and it's right there for me' Sonic and Amy point to each other putting one foot in front for them. 'the possibilities are never ending' Sonic and Amy put their hands together (Not interlocking) and put their hands up and they tilt their heads back.
"I see it!" Sonic walks forwards with his pointer finger pointing forwards.
"I see it!" Amy walks forwards with her pointer finger pointing forwards.
"And now it's all within my reach, endless possibilities." Sonic and Amy turn towards each other and spin around. After they spun, they sit down and Sonic put's his arm around Amy's shoulder and Amy puts her hands in her lap.
The music stopped playing and Sonic and Amy were both breathing really hard. Sonic couldn't believe he remembered the dance moves! He was happy that he could still dance to that song. Amy screamed once the music had stopped.
"That was so awesome!" Amy said kicking her feet.
"I know!" Sonic said hugging Amy.
The two friends got up and hugged each other.
Amy's POV
I can't believe Sonic and I just danced to that song again. We packed up our things and headed home. I drove Sonic home. It had started to lightly rain. I had to drive slower because of the rain. I stopped at a stop light. From the corner of my eye I could see Sonic smiling and looking out the window.
"Punch bug!" Sonic yelled as he punched my arm.
"Ow! Hey, you can't punch the driver!"
"Too late."
Sonic laughed and that ended up making me laugh too. The light turned green and I began to drive again. I couldn't stop smiling after that had happened. I turned on some music as I drove to Sonic's house. I pulled into his driveway. Sonic didn't get out for a second.
"I've never walked in rain before." Sonic said.
"I'll help you."
"I don't want you getting wet."
"Please."
I opened the driver's door. I shut it and walked over to Sonic's side. I opened the door and held out my hand. Sonic reached for my hand. He got out of the car and shut the door.
"I hate water!" Sonic yelled.
Sonic put his hand on my hips and he held onto to it tight. We made it to his front door. We shook out heads getting some of the water off of us. After that we looked at each other. We both began to laugh.
"W-Why are you -l-laughing?" I asked laughing.
"Y-Your h-h-hair!" Sonic laughed.
"L-Look at your h-h-hair!"
We high fived each other. Sonic opened the front door and waved goodbye. I ran to my car. I saw Sonic shut the door. I started my car and looked at Sonic's house. I saw Sonic's living room. I saw Sonic sit down on the couch and shake his head. His mother came in the room with a glass of water.
"I wonder what's for." I said started to back up.
I saw Sonic count something in his hands. He put something in his mouth and drank his water. He was taking his pills! I saw him do that 5 times. I saw Sonic take off his leg and placed it on the coffee table.
"Watch it lady!" Yelled someone.
I stopped my car and looked behind me. I shook my head. I had to focus on driving. I drove home. I got out of my car and ran to the front door. I ran upstairs and went into my room. I jumped on my bed and smiled. I couldn't stop thinking about Sonic. He held onto me tight when we walked to his front door. Also when we touched noses during our dance. I couldn't stop smiling back then too.
"I am I falling in love with my best friend?" I asked sitting up.
