Chapter 11: Amy Gets A Rival:

Back on the mountain, Eggman, amazed that he was still alive after bleeding so much, managed to sit up. Still weak, he began desperately searching through his Egg Mobile for first-aid. After bandaging the two wounds on his head, he decided to stop lingering on the mountain, and go back to the city. He wanted to get back at Sonic for humiliating him on Television, and needed to get some food, since he had been on the mountain for over two days with nothing to eat. He picked up his frozen minions and put them in the beaten-up Egg Mobile. He gave it a push and quickly jumped into it. The now not-so-rotund scientist then proceeded to ride the pod down the mountain like a sled.

"S-sonic, I'll…b-b-be back. Y-you…j-just…wait!" He managed to say with a weak grin.

I'm Amy Rose! I'm cute and I'm full of energy!

Yes, I know it's probably starting to feel redundant hearing

all of us gush about how amazing we feel today, but you

must have me confused for someone who gives a shit! To

think that all it took was just a conscious effort to stop

obsessing over Sonic and losing my cool around him in

order to make him reciprocate my feelings! I'm amazed that

he even reciprocated them in the FIRST place, given our history!

...Okay, with that out of the way, right now I'm thinking that we should

go for a walk and let this sudden change soak in. Yeah yeah, it's clichéd,

but once again, you seem to have mistaken me for someone who gives

a shit!

Sonic and Amy were walking through the hallway together, holding hands. They passed by Shadow's room, where Rouge was helping him move out.

"Hey guys. What's going on?" Sonic asked.

"Oh, nothing much. Shadow and I are officially girlfriend and boyfriend, and so he's rooming with me now." Rouge said, carefully removing the Shadow the Hedgehog poster off the wall.

"Well, have fun." Amy replied.

The two hedgehogs proceeded to walk out the door, and head for town. The couple strolled down the many streets of City Escape, admiring the shops and stands. They passed a chili dog stand, and Sonic eagerly bought three foot-long chili dogs, (one extra cheesy, one extra spicy, and one regular) despite having had breakfast not too long ago. Amy rolled her eyes, as she watched him down the steaming junk food.

I honestly don't see how he can STAND those! She thought.

After a nice walk, Sonic and Amy stopped at the park and sat on a bench. Sonic had his hairless arm around Amy's shoulder and she was leaning against him.

"You know, I've been thinking..." She started. "...I want to have a baby."

Sonic got a skeptical look on his face.

"Uh, well, I don't know. I mean, we're not even married yet, and…" He uttered.

"Oh, come on! We're engaged! It's the perfect time to think about this!" Amy replied.

Sonic could not come up with a response. While he was pondering over what to say next, a familiar voice was heard.

"Oh, hi Sonic, long time, no see!"

Really? THAT line again? Sonic thought to himself.

A brown squirrel wearing nothing but a pair of blue boots and a closed blue vest over a black, sleeveless crop top and tight black shorts approached. Her skintight and somewhat midriff-baring outfit clung to her body as she walked up to the two hedgehogs. Sonic quickly remembered who it was.

"Um, who are you?" Amy asked.

"I'm Sally; Sally Acorn. I'm Sonic's ex-girlfriend." The squirrel said.

Amy glanced at Sonic with disbelief.

"Oh, well I don't believe we've ever met. I'm Amy Rose. I'm Sonic's current girlfriend." Amy replied, with a slight competitiveness in her voice.

Sonic was worried about where this was going to go next.

Sally walked up to the couple and sat on the side of Sonic that Amy was not on. She wrapped Sonic's free arm around her shoulder.

"Um, what are you doing?" Amy scoffed.

Sally said nothing, and proceeded to lean in closer and kiss Sonic on the cheek.

"Hey! Back off, Sally! And who told you to just come up and do this shit?!" Amy rudely asked, anger building up inside her.

Sally ignored this, proceeding to climb onto Sonic's lap, and rest her head on his shoulder, before moving the hand that was on her shoulder down to her waist.

"Sonic, darling, Pinky here rewards you with hardly anything after you protect her from that giant talking egg. (Haha! I still remember that joke!) So why don't we go back to the old times, reunite the Freedom Fighters, and I'll show you how a real woman rewards her hero." She said, kissing Sonic once more.

"Will you stop that?!" Sonic sternly asked, jerking his head away, and removing Sally from his lap as best he could without hurting her.

"Ooh, that does it!" Amy yelled, jumping off the bench.

She roughly pulled Sally off the bench, threw her to the ground and jumped on her, wrestling and throwing punches. Sonic was going to intervene, but he decided to stand off to the side for now. He ended up watching them duke it out for a good hour or so, exchanging both physical and verbal blows.

"Stop trying to sway Sonic to get back into your life again! He's mine!" Amy shouted, landing a punch square between Sally's eyes.

Sally blocked the next two or three punches.

"Aw, does Pinky have a short temper? You're just jealous that Sonic and I dated for ten years! And you are just trying not to admit it since he just let you reluctantly start this relationship, when he really still wants me!" She taunted.

Amy came up with a comeback.

"Well, I almost forgot something. Sonic and I actually aren't girlfriend and boyfriend anymore!" She said.

"Oh. So the blue sugar lump did get some common sense, eh?" Sally grinned.

"Oh, we're still together. And I didn't even have to make him do it." Amy replied, flashing the engagement ring.

"YOU BITCH!" Sally yelled, kicking Amy off of her.

Amy flew about five feet and landed on her butt. Her nose started to bleed. Sally's boot had hit her very hard. Sally jumped high into the air, and aimed her foot down at the stunned Amy. Sonic was getting bored of watching the girls fight, so he walked to the street corner and ordered three more chili dogs from a passing chili-dog cart. While enjoying them, he looked back and saw Amy sitting stunned on the grass, her nose bleeding. Sally was gaining force as she was descending from her jump, her foot aimed right at her. Sonic sped up from a walk to a light jog, being careful not to drop his chili dogs. Amy then came back to her senses, and looked around. She saw Sally descending towards her at a high speed. Amy quickly revealed her hammer, and knocked the falling Sally about ten feet away, just as she was about to hit her.

"Honestly, I think you're the bitch! Because you dress like a slut!" She countered.

Sonic finished his last bite of chili dog, and stood by Amy. Sally was running full speed towards them. Sonic was quick to catch her by placing a hand on her forehead, (with Sally running in place as he did so). He then let go of her (causing her to fall forwards) and walked Amy to the bench. Amy had calmed down and realized how much pain her bleeding nose was in. Sally lightly gripped Sonic's free hand once more.

"So Sonic, are you staying with this brat, or are you coming back with me?" She asked.

Sonic showed anger on his face, which was something very unusual for him to do.

"Nobody hurts Amy…" He said, wrenching his hand from her grip and curling it into a fist.

"I'm sorry. But will you…?" Sally uttered.

"NOBODY HURTS AMY! NOW JUST FUCK OFF!" He yelled, cutting her off.

Sally walked off.

Well, this isn't over yet! I will be back! She thought aloud.

Sonic proceeded to walk Amy home, with Amy whimpering in pain as she held her nose.
