This side story takes place on the evening right after the twelfth set of Cartoon Quidditch regular season games.

It is set in Yokohama, Japan, the home of one of the league's new breakout hits, the Yokohama Yokai. Earlier that day, the Yokai scored a key victory over their next-door rivals, the Tokyo Tengu, improving their record to 8-4 and getting them into 2nd place in the Japan division, behind only the defending Potter Bowl champions, the Kyoto Kappa. Right now, while the rest of the team is relaxing at team quarters just outside of Nissan Stadium, their Seeker and captain Sonic the Hedgehog, along with his best friend Tails Prower (who is one of the team's Chasers), is quietly relaxing at Kishine Park. The two are lying on the grass, gazing up into the night sky, into the stars that are shining up above them in the distance.

"You know," Sonic says dreamily, "none of those stars may even be there right now. It's like looking into the past."

"Whoa..." Tails says, his mind having been blown.

"You know it," Sonic winks. "Man, don't you find it so incredible that God managed to create all of this?"

"What really blows my mind," Tails breaks in, "is that if God did indeed create all of this, then who created God? Hmmm... maybe he created himself."

"Or herself."

"Ohhhh..." Tails intones as his mind is blown even more.

"Think about that," Sonic says.

And so Tails ponders what Sonic just told him as the two continue to stare into the night sky, getting more and more droopy-eyed with time...

"Hey, Sonic?"

"Yeah, Tails?"

"I think we could go to sleep right about now."

"Yeah, why not? We couldn't have picked a more perfect night for it."

Tails yawns and curls up beside Sonic. "Goodnight," he says as he closes his eyes.

"Sweet dreams, little bro," Sonic says softly as he pats Tails on the head and closes his eyes...

...

At around the same time, at the Yokai team quarters, Amy Rose, the girl who's been obsessive over trying to win Sonic's heart, as well as a Chaser for the team, is becoming anxious. She's become aware that it's late and that Sonic hasn't returned yet, and has become rather concerned.

"Hey, Chris?" she asks. "You know where Sonic went?"

"I believe he and Tails went over to Kishine Park," replies the team's coach, Chris Thorndyke.

"OK, thanks," Amy says as she waves her friend Cream The Rabbit good-bye and heads for Kishine Park.

"Oh, I bet Sonic will be so happy to see me!" Amy says to herself as she goes. "I'll be there to comfort him if he's lonely, which he obviously is since I'm not there... yet. And I'm gonna give him a great big k-"

Suddenly, she trips and falls on something hard and metal. She gets up and tries to walk away, but she can't - her foot is stuck. Stuck in one of the worst places to get stuck - a railway.

As Amy struggles with all of her might to get her foot loose from the railroad track, it suddenly starts to vibrate, accompanied by a distance horn sounding, along with a light getting closer and closer. It's just about the worst thing that can happen - a bullet train is approaching, and Amy's foot is still stuck, with no forseeable way of getting it loose before the train arrives.

"HHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!" Amy cries out as only she can. "SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"

...

Over at the park nearby, Sonic suddenly wakes up with a start. His rapid stirring wakes up Tails as well.

"What is it, Sonic?" Tails asks.

"That sounded like Amy," Sonic says. "She sounds like she's in trouble. You stay here and I'll see what's up."

"But what about-" Before Tails can finish his sentence, Sonic has already rushed out of the park at his signature breakneck speed.

"SONIC, HELP!" Amy cries out as she sees Sonic approaching. As Sonic gets closer to the scene, his eyes grow wide as he sees the roaring bullet train looking to meet her at around the same moment that he is.

"Crap! I'd better step on it, or she's a goner!" And so Sonic pedals as hard as he can, hoping to catch Amy before the bullet train does. As for Amy, her very life flashes before her eyes;

Many events in her life, mainly those regarding her moments with Sonic, appear before her in the blink of an eye. Many times, she had hugged him and even kissed him repeatedly on the cheek when he came out of a fight after she'd become worried about him. She had also, as cliche as this may sound, fantasized about spending sunsets on the beach with him, and once even made him a bracelet out of crab pinchers - said bracelet was destroyed by a certain third party, but Sonic still seemed touched by the gift nonetheless. Plus, the two had both done each other favors in the past, ranging from something as small as Amy cleaning out Sonic's ears to something as big as Sonic saving Amy from drowning and attacks from certain third parties. In fact, it even seemed as if unknown outside forces even knew how much the both of them cared for each other, as well as their friends.

But arguably the biggest moment between them happened one time after Sonic had blown up an enemy battleship - she landed at Amy's place right afterwards. Amy then scolded him harshly for leaving her and demanded he never do it again, which he agreed to, after which he let her cry into his chest; possibly the one thing that reassured her that she'd win her over yet. But now, with her foot stuck in a rail and about to be pulverized by a bullet train, it now seems that all hope of a future with Sonic is to die along with her...

But then, at the very last millisecond, Sonic races at Amy and using his super speed, dislodges her foot from the rail and knocks her out of the way a mere nanosecond before the train gets to her.

As the train goes on its merry little way, Amy sits there, clutching her throbbing foot while trying to catch her breath.

"You okay, Amy?" Sonic asks.

With that, Amy realizes just how close she has come to death, how close she has come to never knowing love. Driven by this, ignoring her rational thought, she gives a Sonic a big, hard, 10-second kiss.

As she lets go, Sonic suddenly feels... weird. He had thought that he would be repulsed by getting kissed by Amy, but as it turns out, it actually felt... nice. As he tries to contemplate the implications of this, Amy notices the look on his face, indicating that she may have indeed lit some spark inside of him. "Yes, I may finally have done it!" she says to herself.

Sonic, on the other hand, tries not to let it show through. "C'mon, let's get you and Tails home."

"Can't we just leave him and let him find his own way?"

"That is SO cold, leaving your little brother alone like that! Now come on!" And with that, Sonic helps Amy up to her feet - her foot is still throbbing a great deal from having been stuck in the rail. Then, just as Sonic turns towards the park to get Tails, Tails comes running up to them.

"What happened?!" Tails asks, shocked to see Amy leaning on Sonic on account of her bad foot.

"Long story," Sonic says. "Now come on, we gotta get back to quarters!" And so they do; all the while, Sonic is thinking of how a kiss with Amy he thought would be bad turned out to be good, while Amy was pondering what she could do to make Sonic and herself an official couple...
