2Young - Serendipity

I'm back! And better than ever! With the first hint being given, this song is where I got my inspiration to make this story from. One of my many inspirations anyway. But read what happens in this chapter and allow me to surprise you.

:D

Chapter 11:Dépaysement

"I'll pay for drinks if you join me on a magical night."

Sonic stared down at a girl with long lavish yellow hair and crossed his arms grinning. "Like a night club?"

"Anything you want," She seductively spoke licking her lips.

Sonic chuckled and the girl grabbed his arm and leaned into his ear. "I'll meet you at your locker afterschool,"

Sonic pushed the girl to the wall of an alley and caressed her soft skin. His hands roamed around her arms then went down to her thighs. She kissed him roughly and he returned it with the same lust feeling. Sonic broke off the kiss first and he smirked. He's body shook side to side but he was managing to stand without falling. His cheeks were flushed and she could smell the alcohol in his breath. She laughed wrapping her hands around his neck. "Kiss me more,"

Sonic chuckled and smashed his mouth against hers roughly and his mind began ringing. The loud music of the bar inside and the talking of the mobians were making his head spin. Little by little he could see less of the girl's face and hear less of the loud music from the DJ. Slowly his vision was dripped away.

"No! Don't do it!"

"Sonic!"

The girl giggled and began unbuttoning her shirt. "Make love to me Sonic," She whispered.

Sonic's eyes widened and pushed her away. He groaned before falling to the floor and passed out.

It was afternoon in Station Square Downtown and Cream walked along side Amy on this very fine weathered day. The sun was high up and wind blew lightly making it not to hot yet not too cold. Cream was taking Amy out for lunch. Amy's grandfather went out to run an errand and Cream though it'd be better not leaving Amy alone. So, they headed out. Amy walked around with his cane and sniffed the air.

"We are in the depths of the city," She stated.

"Yup," Cream chirped. "I know a very tasteful store there. You'll love it."

"Tasteful?" Amy laughed.

"You'll be repeating that once you try their food." Cream remarked happily.

Amy laughed tripped on a crack but Cream caught her. "Wow, you okay?"

Amy laughed even more. "Clumsy me," She steadied herself.

They continued their walk and turned at a corner. Amy had a habit of always asking where she was. That was a way she'd know the route of a certain place and not get lost. She was very clever and absorbed information like a sponge. Quickly, she learned and even without sight, she knew her way around the city. She hadn't gone too deep into the city. She didn't like going, but since Cream was trustworthy, she was okay with it. Then she'd be able to learn the streets a bit more.

"What street might we be on now?" Amy questioned.

"Broomdile,"

Amy stopped dead in her tracks and gasped. "Um, may we go the opposite way?"

"Amy?" Cream questioned a bit shocked.

"I don't want to go through this street,"

Why–" Cream stopped and looked at the street. Her eyes looked at it surprise and backed her away. "Oh, I'm sorry," Cream apologized, pulling her back to the other street corner. "I forgot,"

"It is okay. Is there a different route we may undertake?" Amy asked feeling a little embarrassed. Cream didn't mind Amy was acting so anxious. She pulled her across the street and kept walking straight. Cream bit her lip nervously while looking over at Amy who kept quiet.

"Anyway," Cream began trying to change the atmosphere. "Amy how was your weekend like?"

The street they were in was calm. There weren't many mobians walking around or cars passing by. A blue blur passed by on the other side of the sidewalk. It then returned. Sonic returned seeing Cream talking to Amy. His eyes lit up in seeing them and he rushed across the street in front of them and Cream flinched when he appeared in front of her.

"Ah!"

Amy gasped and she stopped. Sonic.

"Hey girls,"

"Oh, you scared me." Cream gasped looking at Sonic suspiciously.

Sonic chuckled and turned to Amy with his smile, but Amy stared forward. She was a little shorter than him, around 4 inches shorter, and was not looking directly at his eyes. She looked serious and somewhat upset. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck. "Hey Ames. I wanted to say I was sorry for leaving you hanging last time. I know you're upset, but –"

Amy shook her head. "It is quite alright." Cream raised an eyebrow. Sonic looked around the area and then slowly back at her. "Something happened and –Wait really?"

Something in his voice made Amy feel upset. He sounded surprise, okay with the fact that she had forgiven him so easily. She was beginning to question herself. Nevertheless, Amy smiled. "You had a duty to attend to and I respect that."

Sonic felt Cream eyeing him and instead smirked. "Thanks Ames. But I'll make it up to you. How 'bout I treat you girls out?" Sonic said walked behind them and pushing them ahead.

"Wait!" Cream stuttered shaking her head.

"C'mon!" Sonic cheered.

.:xXx:.

Cream couldn't believe what she was seeing. Sonic was sitting in front of them, in a fancy looking restaurant in the middle of the city. Not even a fast-food restaurant. Fancy. The mobians around them looked fabulously wealthy and the room was red carpet with neat white circle designs on it. Amy sat on the other side of the table sniffing the air and looking somewhat frightened. Sonic looked bored but nervous in a way. Cream couldn't tell what was weirder them or the fact that she had allowed this.

"I'm a little bit confused as to why you brought us here."

Sonic's eyes skipped Amy and went to her. His mouth perked up slightly. "Don't question it, hare."

Cream jumped in her chair to his voice. He was quiet, as if he were hiding something.

Amy narrowed her eyes. "Do not insult her!"

Sonic chuckled still staring at Cream. It intimidated her. She was already not use to being around him. Cream looked away. It was for Amy. She was there for Amy.

"Such impudent manners at a restaurant like this." Amy said shaking her head. "Be nice,"

"I am nice," He said innocently and broke off his hard stare from Cream and went over to Amy.

A waiter came from the side with a notebook and pen. He stopped by Cream's side his eyes widening at the sight of Sonic. Sonic smirked and confidently, Sonic spoke, "I'd like the special chilidog without basil and water on the side." Sonic turned to face the girls. "Ladies?"

Amy and Cream's eyes were wide open and looked alarmed. Sonic didn't even allow the waiter to ask questions before anything. Cream narrowed his eyes at seeing him so comfortable. Amy covered her mouth. "Might that be the waiter?"

"Yes," Cream nodded.

The waiter looked at Sonic with a hard stare. "You're banned around here kid. I've no right to serve you." He whispered.

Sonic glared up at him with a grin. He pulled out a ring from the back of his quills and his grin widened. "Aw, well that's too bad…"

Cream turned in hearing Sonic. She saw Sonic pull out a large yellow coin.

"Will this make it any better?"

The waiter stiffened and eyed the yellow coin worth a lot. His hand reached over and Sonic turned to Cream and Amy. Cream glared at Sonic uncomfortably but didn't say anything.

"What would you like to be served today?"

After that awkward lunch, Amy, Cream and Sonic walked out of the restaurant full. Amy held her stomach. Cream laughed and watched her barely walking. They had eaten so much, it could have lasted a bear a whole season before it was hungry again.

"That was delicious. Thank you for inviting us here." Amy said smiling.

Sonic turned to them with a smirk, "Yea, no prob." He turned around and looked around the area. "So, where you girls going now?"

"We're going home now," Cream suddenly spoke. Amy blinked twice shocked. "Thank you again for everything, but we really must go," Cream pulled at Amy's arm. Amy didn't want to go. She knew it too well that she wanted to stay with Sonic just a bit longer, but maybe it was a good reason. Cream began walking away with Amy alongside her.

"Have a nice day Sonic," Amy called out waving.

Sonic stared at them and then laughed. Crossing his arms Sonic smiled. They were in such a rush to leave. Sonic rolled his eyes and walked the opposite way. At least he got to make-up for forgetting to take Amy out last time. It was all good.

School days were long and hard. Students were beginning to feel lazy and fall behind in their academics. Not Amy. She was enthusiastic about learning every single day. First period came then second and third fourth so on. It was only when she was learning things when she felt the happiness. It was wonderful.

Amy's stomach growled and then she stopped her work. Her arms wrapped around her stomach. Hunger during her study time wasn't the greatest feeling. Amy knew that lunch was coming up soon, and that the bell would ring at any moment, but she wanted to head to the library to ask to read and finish homework. But feeding the stomach was much more important, so she'd have to somehow rush to the cafeteria.

She knew her way around the school now. She had touched every inch, inspected every part, inside the school's walls, just enough to know where each hall lead to. Practice made perfect and she couldn't be more proud of herself for doing it all on her own. There had been so many doubts on her not being able to make it on her own. On her not having much of a future after she became blind because of the accident. Amy was here to prove the world wrong and she was already showing much improvement.

The bell rang and Amy grabbed her books and go up from her chair. Amy knew to go straight ahead and there was the door. She walked out of class and with her hand used the wall for support on where she was going. She was heading to grab lunch. As she walked down the hall she came closer and closer to where Vector was his back on the lockers. He sipped on a cup as Amy made her way pass him. He grinned and pushed himself off the lockers and made his way behind her.

"Hey," He called out.

Amy stopped at the sound of the familiar voice. Unsure of the voice that spoke to her she replied anyway just to hear his voice again. "Hello,"

"You're Sonic's girl huh?"

Amy's eyes widened, "I beg your pardon?" Amy turned to face the voice. "Who might you be?"

Vector laughed as a response and he came closer to Amy's personal space. She felt him come closer and backed away from him. Her stomach growled at that moment and she nervously chuckled. "Listen, I have to be somewhere at the moment and would appreciate it if you'd excuse me."

Vector laughed and grabbed her shoulders. "Wait, wait. Why in such a rush?"

"No," Amy shook her head and her hands reached out to push him away. Her book dropped to the floor. Vector frowned and he opened the lid to his cup and threw it at her. The students around the hall stopped in shock. Amy was drenched in what smelled like orange soda.

She stood there embarrassed, her cheeks flushed brightly with her mouth wide opened. Vector smirked and walked in front of her, his face inches from hers. "I told you to wait."

Amy pouted in frustration and her hands clenched into fists. Vector saw that and laughed. "You mad? Whatchu gonna do? Punch me? C'mon on blind girl. Just try!"

Tears prickled in the corner of her eyes but she couldn't do anything. He was right in the aspect that she didn't know where exactly his face was. She didn't know him. Amy was worthless compared to him. Her fists loosened and she bit her lip from releasing a whimper.

"Next time when I tell you to wait you—!"

Just before he could finish his sentence Vector was thrown to the wall behind him where his back hit the locker's lock that bulged out. Sonic stood in front of Amy with his hands up in a fighting position. His brows narrowed and his teeth clenching.

"It's Sonic,"
"What's going on?"

"Are they going to fight?"

Amy's awoke from her trance and without wanting to say it, his name rolled off her tongue, "Sonic,"

Sonic didn't turn back. He glared at Vector with flames burning in his eyes. Vector held his head with his hand and with one eye opened saw Sonic in front of him. He wasn't surprised to see Sonic was the one that had punched him, angry and defending was Amy. He understood very well the situation.

Sonic's frown quirked into a smirk, the same one Vector had once plastered on his face. "Stop."

It was a simple command. It was also clear for anyone to understand what he wanted. Girls around looked in shock and some even looked in envy. No matter their emotion, Vector pushed himself off the locker and looked over at Amy then at him. Now it was his turn to smirk. "Stop? That's it?"

Sonic's arms fell and he stood straight firmly adding. "Stop yourself from doing anything stupid again, reptile."

Amy could feel the tension around her. Her head was spinning. She didn't know what was going on, but there was noise. Whispering, gasping, and muttering all around her. Then there was Sonic and reptile. Either that was his name or his title. Amy didn't know. Sonic's hand reached her arm, sending a jittery spark down to her stomach. She felt his scent and his calm gestures to start walking away with him.

"Defending her isn't going to do you any good," Vector sneered. Sonic stopped and stiffened. Amy felt it and turned around to where Vector spoke. "I never thought you'd aim that low." Vector chuckled and turned around wiping his cheek where the punch had landed.

Sonic chuckled and turned around to Amy and both his hands went on her shoulders. "Come on," He whispered turning her around and walking her out from the small crowd forming. Vector smirked and then laughed. "Ha! That's right Sonic! Run away! Like you've always have!"

Sonic clenched his teeth but still showed Amy that he was calm through his body. His touch was soft on her shoulders and his movements were dawdling. Orange drops of soda still dripped down from her quills onto the hallway's floor. She could sense it sinking into her scalp and it drying there.

Amy didn't say anything as they walked down the hallway. She was still freaking out about everything that happened. There was too much going on within that moment that she didn't know where to start.

Sonic stopped into front of a door. He looked around and spotted a bird girl. Sonic called her over. Confused Amy's head tilted. The girl came over, eyes traveling from Amy to Sonic. "Me?"

"Can you lead her to the showers then give her something clean?"

Amy's eyes widened her hand went to his chest. Sonic turned and saw the surprised look in her eyes. The girl nodded without question and grabbed Amy's hand pulling her into the girl's PE room. "Sonic,"

Sonic crossed his arms and watched her enter. When she disappeared around a corner Sonic clenched his fist and anger flashed across his face. Vector's face ran inside his mind which caused more anger, but before he could explode Sonic allowed the fume to release. He was in school, and to go right up to Vector and punch him in the face wasn't worth it. He leaned on the wall next to the door and sighed. His hand rose to cover his face while lunch continued on.

.:XxX:.

"Thank you very much." Amy said politely while feeling the material she was wearing. The girl smile and then looked out into the distance looking worried. She forced her eyes back to Amy quickly, but the smile had gone away.

"Be careful with him." Her words spoke cracks into Amy's ears. Her eyes widened and the girl walked her out back into the hallway. There Sonic was near the wall aside them. The girl released Amy and without another word left.

'Suspicious' Amy thought to herself, but thoughts were interrupted by a familiar touch. Amy turned around and instantly smelled Sonic's fresh scent. She was becoming familiar with the way he smelled and was able to recognize his presence.

Sonic smiled at her. "You okay?"

Amy's hands reached out for Sonic, wrapping around his torso. Sonic's eyes widened as he stood there surprised. Amy reacted out of impulse. He saved her. In a way she was grateful he did so, but in another she felt confused. Why did he help her? She didn't want to think too much on the 'whys' but more on the 'he did'. Still, she couldn't help but think like this.

"Yes, I am fine. Thanks to you," She spoke quietly.

Sonic smiled warmly watching his cheeks blush. Before Amy knew it Sonic was doing the same. He hugged her back and she returned it. "I'm sorry this happened Ames." He pulled away. "I thought they'd stop."

Amy lowered her head. "No, no. You made your point clear. I have…messed up."

Sonic blinked and chuckled. "Maybe, but if you stick with me you'll be safer."

"I thought we had discussed that if I were to be around you it would cause more distress." Amy said.

"There already is Ames. I told you whether you talk to me−are with me or not, you're already a target, but you're a lot safer sticking close," He grabbed both her shoulders. "To me from now on"

Amy's still eyes shimmered with hope and her mouth slightly opened. "Why now?"

Sonic's eyes arched confused.

"Why are you helping me?" Her voice was somewhat stern, but more curious if anything. "You aren't exactly the most comforting mobian in the city."

Sonic laughed and his hand wrapped around hers tightly and he stared deep into her eyes. He hadn't done it before, but now, that he was trying it, he could see the bright jade green eyes, not dull. "Because I told you once that nobody would hurt you anymore 'cause I wouldn't let them." He smirked and closed in to her face. Amy flinched, but he gave her hand a squeeze to bring her back. "And you told me if you could trust me."

Amy's eyebrows twitched with the suspense that a line was coming out of his mouth and with that line going to be said, it would bring either fortune or disaster to her life. Maybe even both, but the future had something in store for her and it was going to change her life.

"And I said no, but now I'm asking you to try."

He sounded serious, serious in a way that he meant what he was saying. Amy felt his words inside her mind repeating. She didn't really understand Sonic, but she knew him a little bit more to know he was actually a friend and that he wanted her safe. She smiled warmly and gave his hand back a squeeze.

"Alright, allow me to start." She said.

Her hand reached out towards his face as he nodded. He looked taken aback for a moment, but then he realized something. Her hand touched his cheek and then both her hands moved around touching and feeling every edge of his face feeling his nose, around his eyes and lips. She had done the exact same thing to Mighty but he understood instantly she was in fact 'seeing' him.

She was 'seeing' him.

Sonic grinned and his hand rested on top of her hand. Amy's hand stopped on his cheek. Sonic leaned into her ear and whispered, "We're in it for the long run Rose. Follow close."

So what does this mean? Sonic is going to protect her from all harm at school?

Why?

Well you're going to have to find out. XD Oh and I thought I'd let you in a little secret. Today is my Birthday! :D

Until weeks pass. SEE YA!
