Chapter 11
A not so pleasant trip down memory lane.
3:51 P.M.
Back at Amy's house.
Sonic and Amy were eating lunch together. Amy made Sonic a chili dog, using chili she made herself, while she made herself a simple sandwich of ham and cheese. Sonic was sitting down watching Amy the whole time she cooked silently.
"Wow.. I can't believe that she's really this cool." Thought Sonic to himself." She's really pretty too. Hmph. I could go out with, a model, an actress, a singer.. but as of right now.. they don't stand a chance against Amy."
"Food's ready Sonic!"
"Sweet sweet chili dog come to me!" Sonic said excitedly.
Amy walked over to where Sonic sat, and set the food down.
"I hope that you'll like it. I made it extra spicy."
"Oh don't worry. If it's as good as your pretty, this'll be the best chili dog I've ever had."
"Aww, thanks Sonic!"
The two started to eat their meals, and enjoyed their food.
For a while the two just sat their looking at each other silently.
"Sigh. It's time to tell her." Thought Sonic to himself.
"Hey Amy, do you mind if we go to your room for a sec? I want to talk to you about something"
"Of course Sonic."
Amy led the way to her room, as Sonic followed behind her. When they got their Amy immediately sat down on her bed.
Sonic took a look around to examine the room.
The walls were pink, and the floors were red. She had a closet full of her similar looking dresses, and a drawer for other outfits. She had a table with a mirror sitting on it, and on the mirror was a picture of her and Sonic. She had several stuffed animals on her bed, which was also pink, a night table with a yellow colored lamp and had a bookcase. Overall the room had a comfy feel to it.
Amy offered a seat on her bed to Sonic. Sonic walked toward Amy, and lied his down on one of her many plushes facing up.
"Well Amy. You remember how I told you how I was gonna tell you something that Tails doesn't even know? Here it is.
You see I do know for a fact that I had parents. But I never got to know who they actually were. I can barely remember anything, but when I was three and a half years old, I remember seeing my Mom and dad tucking into bed, but barely. I also remember that my dad told me, 'Your going to be really special one day son.'... Boy would I."
"What do you mean Sonic?" Amy asked.
"You see.. I wasn't always the fastest thing in the universe. In fact I wasn't even blue or had green eyes. From what I remember, I had brown fur.. really weird looking. I used to be normal just like everybody else. But that something I can't remember happily."
"Why not?"
"Because after that last memory of my parents... Eggman..."
Sonic sat up and began to tremble a bit, gripping Amy's bed.
"Eggman.. I remember waking up in some kind of glass case, and hearing people screaming. I was trying to figure out what was going on, but all I could remember hearing was a man and a woman screaming."
Amy put her hands over her mouth in shock.
"Eggman must have been experimenting with them." She thought to herself.
"Eggman really was one of the worlds greatest scientist, till he went overboard." Sonic continued.
"I remember seeing some soldiers walking by, looking like G.U.N. Soldiers, and shaking hands with him... I remember him saying that he was working on some experiments with me, and was testing out some 'safe' equipment with me. He even demonstrated to some young students what happens when you do this or that with me, such as shocking me, or poking me, or tempting me with delicious smelling food and garbage, while just eating the good food himself. Everyone always smiled, not knowing about what was happening with with my parents, which I can only presume is when nobody was around."
Sonic began to grind his teeth.
"What happened to him?" Amy asked nervously.
"What happened? Everything happened. One night the same things was happening, except this time, I remember a red light flaring from where I heard the screams. The screams were more intense, and this time were completely terrifying to hear compared to what I heard for 3 months. Eggman was in shambles trying to fix everything up, but said it was no use. He took me out of the case, and ran out of his lab. The last thing I remember from that is hearing people saying..."
Sonic struggled saying these last few words.
"Hel... he.. help.... ussss..."
Sonic began to tear up a bit.
"HELP US!! IT BURNS SO MUCH!! HELP!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Amy jumped back at Sonic's sudden scream. She felt a little scared of Sonic for a split second, but immediately threw hew arms around him. She herself started to cry. Tears began rolling down Sonic's cheeks as he put his arms around her.
"Sonic.. you don't have to say anymore... it's okay." Amy said after a few minutes
"No." Sonic said quietly.
"I have to Amy.. I promised... sigh..
Afterwards I remember Eggman running up some stairs, through some doors, and getting into some sort of vehicle, and driving off. On the long ride I fell asleep. That was probably the first time I ever had a nightmare.
After I woke up, I remember seeing Eggman in another lab, looking furiously at letters I guess were addressed to him. He began talking to himself, saying something like
'How dare they try to throw me to jail for all that I've done for them.'
Or
'It was only two people.' And some other stuff. Then he looked at me, and said,
'I'll make you the greatest thing that ever lived. Then we'll get back at those scumbags for accusing me of insanity.'
Then for another few years, I remember Eggman doing all sorts of things to me. He tried so many things on me, trying different formulas and sticking me in a machine. Each of his experiments ending up being painful. Then one day, Eggman got all excited, he laughed t himself saying
'I did it. I FINALLY DID IT! HAHAHA'
Then he stuck me in the machine again. All sorts of weird things began to happen. First I started feeling really funky. Then electricity started coursing through me, and then everything went blank. The last thing I remember from there was an explosion. When I woke up, Eggman was standing over me, looking oddly at me. My brown fur had become blue, and my I felt like I had a whole lot of energy coursing through me. At first he was mad about how all of his research was gone, and how everything went down the toilet. Then when Eggman tried to pick me up again I ran away from him to the other side of his lab. His eyes grew excited, and he shouted,
'Yes!! I've created the fastest thing in the universe!! Oh my grandfather would be so proud to see this! Now nothing shall be able to stop me! HAHAHAHA! Now what should I call you? You are my first truly successful experiment, and you were able to move quickly. Hmm. Let's see how fast you can run little hedgehog.'
All of a sudden, a pair of giant robotic arms grabbed me, and put me in this machine. Then some sort of treadmill turned on, and really started going. I began to run as fast I could, feeling scared that if I didn't run fast enough, Eggman would do something else to me. I ran as fast as I could go, and felt great for a moment, till my feet started burning. When Eggman noticed how my feet were starting to turn red, he immediately turned his machine off.
'Hmm' He said. 'You seemed to be able to run faster than the speed of sound, and my machine didn't even get its full results. You traveled at sonic speed! AHA! That's it! I will call you Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog! Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it my spiky friend? I'll be back with some equipment that will make you truly unstoppable!'
He them started working on something else. I just sat in that machine for the longest time, wondering about everything. I decided first chance I get, I'm outta here. When he finally came back, he took me out of the machine, and put shoes on both my feet, saying that they would be able to reduce friction, and would never wear out and were adjustable to any size, and he also gave me some gloves, saying that they would never teer up, and that they could fit any hand. After that, he tried to put me back inside of his machine, but I had just about enough of the old doctor. The first chance I saw an opening I ran out of the lab, and ran as far from there as I could. When I finally stopped I found myself in the middle of a huge city. I looked around everywhere trying to find out where to go, but it was no use. Then a police man came up to me asking where my parents were at, and if I was lost. I told him I had no parents, and that I was lost. He took my hand, and took me to an orphanage where I would stay for a few years. The doctors that checked me out tried giving me a dna test, but Eggman had scrambled up my dna, so it was impossible to learn the names of my parents. Like you, people made fun of my color, and called me all sorts of things like blue boy, and blue berry. Then one day I got tired of everybody, and I showed them my super speed. Everybody was amazed and wanted to see me run all over the place. I made a whole bunch of friends after that, but only cause of my speed. One day however, I was playing hide and go seek, when Eggman came back and took a whole bunch of my friends, and stuffed them in robots, as you can remember from the old stories. At first I was scared, but I decided that I had enough of being scared, and set off on my first adventure. After stopping him the first time, I vowed to stop Eggman from succeeding in anything else that may cause others harm." Sonic finished.
Amy was taken by surprise how rough Sonic's past was like. It was hard to believe that such a tough and cool guy had suffered so much, and yet still managed to remain happy and calm.
Tears were still dripping from Sonic's earlier outburst as he closed his eyes, and faced away from Amy, not wanting her to seem like this. Amy's hand went to Sonic's eyes to wipe the tears away, and gave him hug.
After seeing Amy wrap her arms around him once again, Sonic laid back, and rested his head on one of Amy's plushes again, as Amy rested her head on Sonic's chest.
"Sonic." Amy said quietly. "I am so sorry for what happened to you before.. but remember that your parents would be very proud to see who you are today, and all the good deeds you've done for the world. And also remember that I'll never leave your side Sonic for as long as I may live."
There was a silence in the air for a moment.
"You promise Amy?"
"I promise Sonic."
"Thank you." Said Sonic quietly letting a few more tears drop from his eyes.
(Authors note)
"I am sorry that I wasn't able to keep up with my spring break challenge, but I'm hoping to be able to update more frequently then just once a week now.
Now onto other business. I am starting to get interested in making an audio read out of my story. However, it probably wouldn't sound too good if I made all the voices myself. So I am pretty much asking if anybody is interested in playing the role of Amy in my fan-fic audio read out. You do not have to have experience. I am not asking for the OMG THIS IS THE BEST AMY VOICE EVAR!! If you would like to try out, please send me a message and you can either
A: Make a video on youtube, and send me a link to your video.
Or
B: Skype chat. I will give my skype name to anyone willing to tryout.
Should things go well, I will put a video up on youtube and see how that goes.
Anyways thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy the story so far!"
