I thought of a stupid but fun idea for us hitting 100 reviews. Whoever is the 100th review I will add them randomly somewhere in the story. Hopefully this won't go wrong and everyone rushes to send in reviews but I thought that would be fun and a cool way to connect with my readers.

On another note I really like this chapter so please enjoy!

SONIC POV

My hands thump on the leather steering wheel once I slowly parallel park on the side of Amy's apartment. I put my car in park, and I place my sweaty hands on my black Nike pants, as I look forward. My nervousness makes me feel annoyed at myself as I look at her door, trying to calm down because this wasn't the first time I picked up Amy.

But ever since I denied a kiss from her, I have felt so nervous lately.

"Why can't I calm down… It's not like this is our first date or something." I think to myself as I frown and look down, to the time, on my radio.

"Ugh, and I got here super early- not like it matters, I HAVE SEEN HER BEFORE SO WHY AM I SUCH A-"

Noise comes from outside my car and I look to see Amy turned away from my car, locking her door with a small bag strapped around her body. My eyes wonder to the dark grey, acid wash shorts she hand on with some black sandals on. Butterflies soon turn on like a light switch in my stomach as Amy turns around and she is already smiling like she usually does as she runs to my car.

I turn my head away from her quickly and I stare straight ahead but then I blush as I notice how tense I was being.

"Sonic, calm down. It's Amy. Not a first blind date or something a speech to a classroom- actually speechs don't even make me nervous so why am I bullshitting already today."

My thoughts make me feel calmer and I relax. Suddenly a knock hits on my window causing me to look up. Amy waves her small hand at me and my eyes move down to the door.

"Oh, its locked-"

"Sorry, my bad!" I say through the window and I feel a blush rise on my face.

"I- I didn't even unlock the door… why didn't I unlock- hopefully she doesn't think I don't want her near me."

Amy opens the door and I try to act cool but my face was so red it made me feel super nervous. I face forward until she gets in the car and then Amy speaks first after throwing her bag in the back.

"HI SONIC! TODAY IS THE DAY!" Amy yells cheerfully as she closes the door.

"Y-Yeah-"

"What's that smell-"

The smell of fresh strawberries and other fruits slowly enter my car. I swallow hard as I know its Amy that smells so good which causes me to feel even more nervous.

"I CAN'T WAIT TO RECORD! THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE EVER RECORDED A MUSIC VIDEO! AHH!" Amy says bouncing up and down.

"She smells like heaven on earth… god what I would give to be closer to her and smell her scent-"

Amy hand touches my shoulder making me slowly look at her.

"Fuck… I forgot she was going to have make up on. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I know nothing is going to come out of my mouth now."

Amy eyes had a black smoky eye with sparkly black eyeshadow that made her green eyes shine in a different way I have never seen. Also her hair was parted to the side, making her curly hair hang over her right eye slightly. Her lips also looked so sparkly and glossy since she added lipgloss to her lips. Amy's entire look looked so sexy and mysterious.

"You okay- YOU AREN'T NERVOUS ARE YOU? You look nervous haha but you have no reason to be. You will be near all your close friends so relax." Amy says but she really has no idea why I am really speechless.

Amy starts to look more concerned as I just stare at her face and then her arms come around me, making my nose go into her hair. Amy brings me closer and the scent of her floods my brain making me feel more and more distracted.

"Hey, there is no reason to be nervous. You will do great." Amy says and then she leans back to look at my face. "You already look great."

Amy brings her hand to my face and touches my cheek, making my face go instantly red. Amy cocks her eyebrow and I try to say something quick to stop being awkard.

"Um- Your um- the… the um stuff around your eye-"

"My eyeshadow?" Amy says still looking at me confused.

"Yes, it looks cool." I say.

"It looks cool?! That's such a friendzoning word. When have I ever said she looks cool. I'm such a idiot-"

"Haha, yeah it is cool! Do you want to try some eyeshadow sometime?" Amy jokes as she turns from me to put on her seatbelt.

"Yeah, okay. Now my compliment is even giving her a different perception in what I was really trying to say. Maybe if I just calm down, I can not seem like I am blowing up inside."

"No, I don't think I would look that great." I say and Amy laughs runs through my body.

"I think you would! You haven't even tried it."

My hand goes to the gear shifter and I put it in drive.

"Heh, I don't think it's my style." I say and Amy looks over at me as we start to drive away to the club, we were going to be shooting at.

Her eyes runs over my face making me look at her for a quick second but then I look away as I notice she is staring at me hard.

"Hey…" Amy says, and we stop at a red traffic light as I look over to her.

"Hm?"

Before Amy speaks, I take the time to look at her face.

"She looks so pretty, and I can barely tell her. Why?"

"You haven't complimented me like you usually do.." Amy says as her face turns into annoyed.

"Wha- What did she say- "

"You always compliment me…" Amy says as she starts pout and I blush hard.

"Well- I- You always look great- "

"Great? Haha, so I look great and cool now." Amy says and laughs. "So, being on break, we can't flirt or compliment each other either?"

"No. You can do that just not another things like-"

"Kissing." Amy says plainly and the light turns green as she brings up the moment from yesterday.

"She just had to bring that up. Yikes, I wonder how long it has been on her mind."

"Yeah, just like kissing." I say with a disappointed tone and Amy leans back in her seat as I start to drive again.

"Oh, okay. But Sonic it's okay you didn't kiss me. Really. We are taking a break so I will respect that hopefully for now on." Amy says sounded determined and I grip the steering wheel.

"Sorry, about that though… I wasn't trying to lead you on and everything… Ugh, I felt so bad about it and I still do. Sorry." I say and Amy giggles.

"It's cool. It's cool." Amy says happily and I sudden feel less stressed.

"Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought. We are taking a break so maybe she realizes kissing me would be pointless… wait why is she acting so much braver than me. Amy, would never just tell me that…"

My eyes wonder over to Amy a bit who was busy looking her phone, probably texting people for today, and I look back to the road.

"This is her being open with me. Fully. Feels nice."

We finally arrive at Udio's Studio with an empty parking lots but the one up front had a cars parked in it. I pull into it and some of the super fans, random helpers and also Rouge and Knuckles were there standing on the sidewalk, near the entrance.

"ROUGE. ROUGE. ROUGE." Amy says and then she starts to roll her window down. "HI EVERYONE!"

Amy greets everyone as she pulls her body from out of the window and gets their attention. The words they are saying eligible, but they seem pretty excited that we appeared.

Parking the car into the parking lot, a truck pulls up beside us and Amy starts to talk loudly again.

"TAILS! CREAM! HEY!" Amy says getting back in the car and walking out of it as I turn my car off.

Amy closes the door and I sigh as she gets sidetracked so easily. I grab her bag in the back and then I step out my car as well to be met with the hot sun. I squint my eyes as the hot sun shines over us.

"Ugh, I should have worn shorts. It's so hot."

"Sonic! Why the irritated face?" Knuckles asks walking over to us and I shrug my shoulder and point to the sky.

"I want the sun to die." Knuckles laughs and then brings me into a tight hug.

"Why are all my friends so touchy. I just saw them yesterday and they act like it's been weeks." I think but the Tails comes over and hugs me as well joining the group hug.

"GUYS!" Tails yells and Knuckles greets him and then we release the hug.

"You ready to be on camera Sonic." Tails says in a weird tone getting in my face.

"What? I guess- "

"They are going to be all in your face recording you the entire time. They might even make you take your shirt off." Tails grabbing my shirt and I instantly rip them from it.

"I am not going to get taken advantaged of. Amy said I wouldn't." I say and Tails laughs loudly.

I watch Tails laugh and then I look at Knuckles to see if I am the only one who thinks this isn't funny but then I notice that Knuckles is laughing as well with tears bursting from his eyes.

"Wha- HEY? WHATS SO FUNNY?!" I yell as I feel a secret is being held back.

Tails stupid laugh makes me grab him by his shirt and Tails laughs even more making me blush.

"What is so funny? Did I miss out on what happened?

"Yo! What is up rock stars!" someone yells pulling into the parking lot recklessly.

We all turn our attention to the loud music being played behind us and I drop Tails back onto the ground.

"CASSIE! TEN TEN!" Amy yells running up to the car.

Cass and Ten come out of the car after Cass parks it and Amy greets them excitedly. I watch from a far and squint my eyes at Cass hugging Amy… again.

"Whatever. I'm just not going to be jealous and let them but happy as friends. Yes." I think to myself as I turn around only to see Tails looking at me.

"Jealous." Tails says pointing at me and my face goes red.

"I'm not jealous." I say turning away from Tails only for Tails to laugh and past me, walking towards Amy and the others.

"Then come on." Tails says and I sigh and I walk behind Tails with Knuckles following him as well, chuckling slightly.

The conversations of our friends start to become louder as we enter the group. Cass notices us coming towards him and he waves at us.

"Hey! Wassup guys! " Cass yells and we all greet him.

Ten gives us a small wave but he seems a tad bit elated since so many of us were counting on him.

"Hey guys look! Ten is smiling!" Knuckles says pointing at Ten and then blushes slightly.

"Well, I'm happy I can finally use my major for my friends." Ten says and Amy's eyes sparkle.

"I'M EXICTED FOR YOU TOO! Everyone! Let's make sure we give Ten our biggest respect today." Amy says pushing him forward so he is shown to all of us." Without Ten this couldn't be possible so make sure to thank him and give him all the hugs.

Ten doesn't say much but smile but everyone starts to thank him and pat him on the shoulder, encouraging him to do his best.

"Okay! Oh- and I don't know if we have done introductions, but I'll introduce the new newbies to the band.

As Amy reintroduces Cass and Ten to everyone I look off to the club and I look down the sidewalk.

"That's where me and Amy ran so we wouldn't get caught for me punching her ex. Man, I'ts been a long ride."

Wind carries through my hair as I zone out and then I am taken out of my thoughts as a big black suv shows up and parks. Suddenly the car empties with more super fans causing me to back up as they run at us and one of the super fans were more recognizable than most.

"THE ROYAL COURT IS BACK TOGETHER!" Big yells running at us.

"Who- who is that." Cass says

Big and his other loyal subjects bow at us and I take some steps back as and I step back into Amy who is smiling kindly at them.

"WE WILL BE ON OUR BEST BEHAVIOR TO HELP YOUR RECORDING SESSION GO BY SMOOTHLY!" Big yells and then he stands up and takes Amy's hand.

"IF WE ARE DOING ANYTHING WRONG, FEEL FREE TO TELL ME AND I WILL STRAIGHTEN EVERYTHING UP FOR YOU PRINCESS AMY!" Big says and Amy sweat drops and she laughs.

"Thanks, Big. Oh- Also thanks for believing in us again." Amy says and she bows.

Tails and Rouge bows as well and I just kind of look around until Amy hand comes around and she grabs my head, forcing me to bow with them.

Big gasps and blushes we lean up and he has big tears in his eyes.

"OF COURSE, WE WOULD! WE WOULD ALWAYS LOVE YOU GUYS!" Big yells and rest of fans agree as well.

"Okay, then so let's go and give this another shot!" Amy says leading the way and all of us follows.

We follow Amy to the entrance

"Wow, it feels so weird to be back where it all started." Tails says and we agree with him.

"Yeah, we had some good times. When Sonic punched Scourge in the face and Axel. When Amy also fought Tikal. Oh and also when we found out that Cream is the singer for disconnection. OH, AND I GOT MY PROMISE RING!" Rouge says holding Knuckles hand making him blush.

"Mhmm, some good times! Sort of." Amy says laughing a bit.

The big group of us make it to the entrance and then Amy looks through the window. Cass comes up as well and copies her making stare into the back of his head.

"Hm… the lights are off. Maybe I should text him." Amy says turning around and then the door opens.

"Ha, sorry about that. I was watching you guys through the security cam." Udio says.

Amy turns around hugs Udio instantly and Udio catches her and chuckles a bit but then his eyes look over all of us.

"Hi, everyone. Please feel free to make yourselves home but please don't go in and out of the club. I don't want random people showing up." Udio says and we all nod our head as we walk in.

Udio's studio was lit up in normal lighting from the lights on the ceiling. Udio had also cleared out the tables that use to be around the middle so we could have as much room as possible. I follow the crowd of people and then suddenly I watch Amy get on stage and a mic is sitting there.

Also, on stage is a drum set, Amy's guitar and Rouge's bass guitar and seeing all of them up there made me feel nervous. Amy grabs the mic and starts to talk to us. Cass gets on stage as well, holding a small clipboard and a pin in his ear as he listens carefully to Amy.

"Okay, guys there is no time to waste! I need all my band members on stage and then everyone else will go to Ten and he will give you instructions on what to do and what not to do on camera. IF you have any questions please ask Cass" Amy points at Cass and he waves his hand high in the air so people could see him even though he wasn't that hard to miss since he was so tall and bright. "Thanks, that's all for now. We will be recording really soon."

Tails and Rouge head to the stage and I follow them as well. Amy says something to Cass and Cass laughs making Amy laugh and then he runs off stage before I could even hear what they were talking about.

"Grrr. I'm kick his ass."

"Sonic?" Amy says and I snap out of my jealously as I hear her call out to me.

"Yes?" I ask walking up to everyone who was looking at me too.

"You good? You looked annoyed for a moment." Amy asks and exhaling heavily through my nose trying to act as calm as I can.

"I'm fine. What makes you ask." I say and Amy becomes distressed and then she just laughs it off.

"N-Nothing. Maybe I just thought you seemed off, but you look fine."

Tails starts to snicker, and I ignore it as Amy starts to talk.

"Um… this is it- D' Coolette will be here shortly for us to change but for now I think we should warm up and go over the moves and the song. Let's get prepared so once we put on the clothes, we can record right after."

"Wow, so soon. It feels weird to do this again with you guys." Rouge says and she made a valid point.

Last time we were on stage together we all were completely lost, but hopefully this time things won't turn out how they did before.

For a couple of minutes, I have been sitting down listening to Rouge and Amy tune, Tails hit his drums, and Cass and Ten direct the super fans and extras into the spots they were going to be at and the things they were going to do. Cream and Knuckles were also in the audience so they past from time to time saying hellos here and there but I can't help but to watch Cass. He seemed so determined and happy to be helping out.

"I'm not even jealous of Cass… just knowing that I could be talking to Amy the exact way he does just bothers me." My thoughts make me zone out a bit as I watch him high five Cream. "I even have the power to make me and Amy an actually couple, but I won't do it because… I'm afraid. For once in a relationship I feel afraid."

My eyes turn away from Cass and my shoes appear in my line of sight as I look down.

"Afraid of hurting her as bad as I did Sally probably. Ha, and I really thought I changed after that. Not one bit I guess."

The night Amy hugging me when I tried to push her away, runs in my mind and I feel my face heat up as instant tears come to my eyes. I move my face away from anyone seeing a tear jumps out of my eye causing me to wipe it quickly.

"Wha- Why are there tears- Tails. The band. I can't let anyone see we are supposed to be getting ready. I'll just go to the bathroom really quick."

I slide off the stage quickly and I walk to the bathroom trying to keep my face away from anyone. The bathroom has a fresh lemon scent and I try to distract myself by thinking. My hands go to the knob and I turn on the water, splashing my face in it a bit so it wouldn't look like I was crying.

Closing my eyes, I try to calm myself down thinking about something else but then I open them as I feel pain my chest.

"Crap. I actually feel really upset. My stupid overthinking tendencies. I have to get it under control though… I have too."

More tears build up my eyes but I breath through my nose and out my mouth to try to calm myself down.

"Why am I starting all the way over again. I haven't felt like this in so long. I just need to get it together. Come on, Sonic. You changed." I say softly as I look up to my face.

Thankfully my eyes weren't red at all and my tears had disappeared after a couple moments of trying to relax. Suddenly the door opens, and I turn the water off and look at Tails through the mirror.

"Hey, D'Coolette is here with our stuff and Amy is wondering where you went. Luckily I saw you scurry off to the bathroom." Tails says smiling a bit.

Tails looks at for a moment and I blush as I realize I haven't said anything since he walked in here and I turn around.

"Okay, I'm coming- "

'Sonic? Are you okay? You seem zoned out." Tails asks walking up to me, but I take more steps forward to the door.

"I'm fine. Just a little nervous, that's all." I say and then Tails stops me by placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Crap. I don't want to worry him because if he thinks something is going to happen again like last time."

"Sonic, you will do fine. Nothing is going to happen, remember? We already predicted the future we wanted so let's just continue to build it." Tails says and I turn around to him and he has a friendly smile on his face.

"Right… Sorry I just overthink sometimes and get into my head." I say and Tails shrugs it off.

"It's okay to be afraid. Just don't let it take over you." Tails says and he wraps his arm around my shoulder, and we start to walk out.

Tails giving me advice really makes me concerned about myself. Usually it's the other way around but now this makes me think if I have been backtracking the entire time. It feels like I am going back to my old self.

I stop walking and Tails looks at me.

"Are you okay?"

"I don't think so…" I say and Tails walks in front of me and then leans on the back of the bathroom door. "I haven't changed at all Tails."

"…What do you mean?" Tails says.

"Right… I only told Amy about what happened with Sally and Rouge only knows a little bit about it."

"Just know, I used to be a certain way before I came to this university and now… I think I'm going back to that person." I say and Tails still looks confused.

"Different how?"

"Terrible. I didn't act like how I act now so right now I feel like I am just restarting." I say and Tails nods his head.

"What am I saying. Tails would never even understand where I am coming from since he has no idea what happened in my past."

"Standing in the bathroom isn't going to fix anything." Tails says and my head comes up to his eyes." I don't know how you acted in the past but it doesn't matter. Let's just keep going." Tails says opening the door and voices and noises of guitars leak into my ears.

"Don't you want to keep going?"

"Yes… I do."

Tails smiles at me and then he motions me to walk through the door. I carefully do so and then Tails closes the door behind me and wraps his arm my shoulder again as we walk back.

"You are just growing like the rest of Sonic. Let yourself grow. We all see that you are growing… especially her." Tails says pointing to Amy on stage adjusting my mic for me.

I watch Amy try to guess where my mouth would be and that makes me laugh as I watch how focused she is.

"She cares a lot about you so don't go back to being how you used to be and let her down." Tails says and then he runs up and taps on Amy shoe.

"He is right. I just need to get my mindset back together for…" Amy eyes come to mine, and she seems worried as she jumps off the stage and runs up to me.

"For her…"

"SONIC!" Amy says and she hugs me tightly. "W-Where did you go?!" Amy says with tears in her eyes and I look down her overreacting face.

"I just went to the bathroom- "

"I THOUGHT YOU GOT KIDNNAPED!" Amy yells and I sigh annoyed.

"No, I'm okay." I say as I pat her head and she smiles at me.

Her smile looks so peaceful making me feel stress free and then grabs my hand pulling me back on stage.

"Here I go… once again. Opening myself up so I won't have to go back to my past. I know I am different now. I just have to keep going forward."

"Um… I tried to guess your height while you were gone. Let's see if I was right." Amy says and I chuckle a bit as she brings me to it.

The mic is correctly where it needs to be and Amy looks at me as I give her a thumbs up.

"Perfect." I say and Amy smiles big.

"GREAT! OKAY, NOW ANY MOMENT D'COOLETTE SHOULD BE BACK HERE- "

"The designer has returned- MY SINGER!" says a strong woman voice near the entrance.

I turn around and D'coolette and walking in with a huge suitcases they are being brought in by Cass and herself.

"Hi, Sonic darling!" D'Coolette says and I bend down on my knees to greet her, but she brings me into a big hug and then she looks at me.

"Wait. You have been working out! These muscles are way bigger than they were before." D'Coolette says and I chuckle a bit.

"Haha, I have but I don't think much has changed over month."

"Nonsense! Amelia! Your little boyfriend keeps on getting more handsome by the second. Tell him to stop." She says and Amy from behind and pokes my head.

"Stop getting so handsome, Sonic." Amy says with a small blush and I laugh at her.

"Because with the outfits I have for your performance today, Amy is going to need a bucket near her to stop from drooling." D Coolette says and fear strikes in me.

"Wha- Wait what I am wearing?" I ask she moves a suitcase that has my name on it towards me.

"Something that defiantly going to get you the attention you need to perform again." Her words make me nervous as I stare at the suitcase.

"AMELIA. CALL YOUR OTHER BAND MEMBER OVER SO YOU ALL CAN CHANGE AND GET READY!"

"I'm on it!" Amy yells but then I feel her hand pat my head before she runs off.

My attention goes behind me and to look at Amy gather everyone, and they start to make it towards me. We all step down the stage and D coolette give us our separate suitcases. After we get them, we head to the rooms on the side of the club to change into. I walk in a room myself and I turn the light on to be shown; a couch, amp, table, and a T.V. that was currently off. I place the suitcase on the sofa and I already feel my blush rising as I open it.

"What… where are the rest of the clothes? Wait, there are no shoes?" my questions make me confused so I reach in my back pocket and I text the group chat.

"Did you goes get shoes? Also, why do I have two pieces of clothing in here?" I text and Amy texts back shortly.

"I don't have shoes either so it must be going along with the song you chose! Wow, this is so cool." Amy texts and then her message makes me look back to my suitcase.

"So, if I barely have clothes… does that mean Amy won't have much either." I think and then I drop my phone down and I put on the clothes.

"Bro, what the fuck… I BARELY HAVE CLOTHES ON! " I yell loudy as I blush at what I have on.

My outfits consists of three items which was a dark grey oversized jacket which was tattered and had holes on it. Also parts of the jacket had sliver random buttons on it, tiny silver spikes and some random safety pins embedded in it and I had on black tattered sweatpants that had a hug claw, rip on my thigh. I also have fingerless gloves as well but that was it.

Three fucking items.

"I'm being taken advantage of again! AND AMY SAID I WOULDN'T BE!" I blush as I feel exposed and I hide my chest by grabbing the sides of my jacket that didn't have a zipper on it. "There is no way in hell, I am walking out like this. No. Nope."

I shake my head side to side but then I hear screaming and "oohs" from out the room I was.

"What that? Maybe Amy already walked out… I wonder how she looks." I think to myself as I try to imagine what she could have on."

The yelling and loud conversations continue to grow and I stand up and peak out of the room. A group of people stand around the rooms beside me and I hear Amy laugh in the circle making me more curious.

"SONIC! YOU ARE SUSPOSED TO WEAR THE HOOD." D'Coolette yells giving me away.

Everyone turns around to me and all their faces go red as I am basically naked. The super fans run towards me but Cass stops them.

"HEY! NO KIDDNAPPING SONIC!" Cass yells and everyone stops but stares at me from afar.

Cass turns back at me and he looks down at my chest and then back up to me.

"You look like a complete stripper." He says cheerfully and I sweat drop.

"I WANNA SEE! I WANNA SEE!" I hear Amy voice and her voice makes me want to hide back in the room I just came from, but she is took quick and yanks me out of the room, exposing my body to everyone.

Amy face blushes as she looks at me but then my eyes go to her outfit and my eyes keep on traveling down and down at her body.

Amy had on a black leather top that was one a bralette that was connected by a black belt that went around her neck. She also had on black tattered shorts with fishnet tights that were ripped in multiple areas. Amy hand on fingers gloves as well but they went more down her wrist than it did on mine.

She had no shoes on like me as well. Also, Amy's wet hair and dark make up made the look, pop even more and she looked a sexy, goth Rockstar.

My world stops as I look over her causing me to blink a couple of moments until I could come back to earth. Amy blushes as she notices I have been checking her out and then a finger touches the side of my face, but I eyes still don't move away from her.

"She looks so hot. Even more perfect than before."

A hand moves my face from Amy's, and I see D' Coolette trying to get my attention.

"Yes, the girl is beautiful, but you aren't wearing the outfit right!" she says and she grabs the hood and puts over my head. " There we go! Now, Amy. Make sure Sonic stays exactly like this."

D'Coolette shows me to shy Amy and she pushes me forward to her. My chest bumps into her a bit making her stumble back I grab her wrists. Her arm feels so soft as well, so I rub it gently as my eyes go back to where they wanted to be in the first place.

"Haha, Sonic?..." Amy says making me look her shy face.

"Yeah…" I say zoned out at her gorgeous face.

"You are making me feel really nervous." Amy says softly and the sound of her voice makes my stomach spin.

"She is so cute…"

Amy gently moves her wrist from my hand and then I walk closer to her making her blush even more.

"You look very… um- " I am loss of words and Amy starts to laugh at me.

"Is the word you are trying to say "Cool." Amy jokes and I laugh with her.

"Not exactly. You just look really attractive and- beautiful like you always do." I say and Amy smiles at me.

"Thanks. You look very alluring yourself." Amy says quietly as her eyes go straight to my chest making me laugh at her.

Amy eyes come up to mine and my laugh goes away slowly.

"This feeling again, but this time it's more powerful than the last."

I catch myself walking closer to her and then I blush as she notices too.

"Uh- "

"SONIC! WE NEED YOU FOR A SOUND CHECK!" Cass yells making me jump.

"Okay!" I respond and then I look back to Amy who was still looking at me. "I… I um have to go."

"Yeah, go go go." Amy says and I nod my slowly as I also take my time to walk away from her.

As I get on stage I finally take a breath because of the weird tendon near Amy made me notice how tense I was.

"Just sing into the mic a bit so Ten can tell me when it's the right volume."

"Okay." I say walking up to the mic.

I stare at the mic for a moment and then I smile as I remember how far I have to get to be on the stage to sing to people.

"Ahh." I sing and the room goes quiet as the watch me.

Cass watches Ten and Ten gives him a thumbs up.

"Hey, that was perfect. Nice- "

"Hey Cass… can I tell you something later." I say to him and Cass.

"Uh… sure, you can?" He says and I nod my head.

The rest of the band comes up slowly and Rouge and Tails don't look to different than the rest of us.

Tails had on a dark blue, leached scarf that went around his neck and head, creating a hood. He also had on a dark grey jean vest that had spikes on the collar and it was also torn like mine and the last item he had on were black jeans that were almost looked so destroyed that they barely look like clothes D'Coolette made herself.

"At least I'm not the only one with their chest out."

"HOTTIES!" Amy yells making Tails blush and Rouge laughs as she poses in her outfit.

Rouge had on a dark material that looked like it was made from toole. Her top was in a halter top that had dark purple colors running through it. Also, the same exact material was made for her which was the same material shorts and then a black toole scarf that was wrapped to her waist and fell to one side of her leg, letting the other one be exposed. Rouge make up went perfectly with it as well. She had on sparkly dark grey eyeshadow and purple lipgloss bringing the entire look together.

While they talk, I look around at all their outfits and I notice that our clothes have the same theme going on.

"We all look post-apocalyptic." I think and then D' Coolette yells for all of us.

"Okay, stand side by side so I can see."

Amy runs up right beside me and I look down to her, noticing that she looks like she is about to explode from excitement.

"Okay, and some finally touches." D'coolette starts to hand out random accessories and we all take them in confusion.

D'coolette gave me a belt that had fake tools on them. It had a rusty knife, flashlight, some random map, and a weird bottle. I clip on on around my torso and it hangs on my hips.

"It feels like I am about to go to war." I say turning to see what everyone else got.

"I GOT A BOW AND ARROW!" Amy yells and she puts it over her body." I feel… invincible." Amy says and she turns to me.

"OOH! YOU GOT A WEAPON TOO! FIGHT ME!" Amy says and she gets in a fighting stance.

"No." I say but Amy starts to fake punch me anyway in the stomach making me laugh. "Okay, when I fight you back you better not tell me to stop."

Amy laughs and she fake punches me in the face.

"I'm not afraid." Amy says and I nod my head.

"Okay."

My hands go Amy's ribs quickly and she starts to laugh as she tries to get out of my grip.

"AHAHA WHY ARE YOU TICKLING ME ON STAGE! ROUGE HELP ME, AHAHHA" Amy says and then Rouge points a gun to my face.

I stop ticking her and Rouge tries not to laugh as I raise my hand up, surrendering.

"Stop attacking wifey." She says as she holds up a fake AR-47.

"Wait, how did you get the cool guns." I point out and she shrugs her shoulders.

"I got two handguns." Tails says waving them in my face and I look at it in shock.

"What…" I say as I pull out my small knife." How am I supposed to protect myself in a gun fight with a knife. " I say making everyone laugh at me.

"You guys look amazing. I'll be standing by, making sure the outfits don't have any malfunctions but you guys do your best!" D'Coolette says.

We thank her as she walks away, and the Amy claps her hands together.

"Okay, let's get ready to record. I'll call up Ten and Cass." Amy says moving towards the mic.

"Hi, attention everyone. We are about to record so can I get Cass and Ten up here really quick to explain how everything is going to go." Amy says and then Cass and Ten appear.

Ten walks up to the mic with a clipboard and he starts to talk.

"Hey everyone. Everything is going to be going in order like I explained to you earlier. We are going to take a clip of them performing the song, then we will take another clip with more make up on the performers, then we will take separate shots of all the performers, and at the end we will take all of Sonic's shots since he is kind of the main character of the production. So, for right now, everyone walk up near the stage to watch the performance and we are going to take a simple recording of them performing the song. After that everything should go super smooth." Ten says.

Everyone starts to move to position and so do I as I think about the lyrics a bit.

"Okay, I'm going to go down there and set up. Whenever you guys are ready just let me know. Come on, Cass" Ten says and then they hop off stage , leaving only the band up here.

"Okay, just like rehearsal. Give everything your one hundred percent!" Amy says and then she runs over to her guitar.

"Okay. Okay. One hundred percent. We got this. All we have to do is make the best video. Easy."

Relaxation and determination runs over my body as I prepare to sing.

The room starts to go quiet and the lights dim down, letting us know to be prepared.

"Okay! We are ready!" Tails yells and then I nod my head.

"Alright, Sonic are you ready?' Ten asks.

"Yeah, let's do this shit." I say and the super fans on the floor start to yell, making it feel like it's an actual concert.

"Great! 4 Times Different performing " I will not bow" by Breaking Benjamin in 3… 2…1…GO."

Amy comes in with her guitar setting the atmosphere, creating the tempo soft and fast then Rouge and Tails come after her and the beat starts to rise and rise, with the lights flashing white black on us until it's my turn to come in.

"Fall!" I sing loudly and everyone starts to play the parts of the song as the lights flicker faster.

"Now the dark begins to rise. Save your breath, it's far from over."

The stage goes dark and then a light slowly raises from my ankles, slowly creeping up to the top of my head. The lights shine over all of us as I raise my head once it makes it to my face.

"Leave the lost and dead behind. Now's your chance to run for cover." I say moving my hand up as I sing looking into the big camera, I just noticed that in front of me.

"I don't wanna change the world!" I hit a high note and I watch Cass and Ten expression change as he hears me sing for the first time.
"I just wanna leave it colder. Light the fuse and burn it up. Take the path that leads to nowhere"

Kneeling on the ground I continue to sing, as my hood hides my face.

"All is lost again…" I sing looking at my feet but then I stand back up, feeling the music.

" But I'm not giving in! I will not bow!" I sing as I jump up and the music blast past me like a big wave of water just hit me on the back of my body.

The crowd below us starts to go crazy and I try not to smile so the camera and everyone one else who was going to see this music video will feel the power of us coming back.

The 4th coming of "4 Times Different."

"I will not break! I will shut the world away." I sing bending over and singing my heart and then I start to walk on the left of side.

"I will not fall! I will not fade! I will take your breath away!" I raise the mic up and lean back as I sing to the skys but then I look back to the crowd and then I smirk as I come back to the song.

"Fall!"

Ten zooms in on Amy and Rouge as their part echoes through the club and then he films Tails going wild on the drums, nodding his head and watching us for cues. The camera comes back to me and then I remove my hood letting the camera and everyone else see my face.

"Watch the end through dying eyes. Now the dark is taking over." I sing walking backwards as I look straight into the camera.

"Show me where forever dies! Take the fall and run to Heaven. All is lost again… But I'm not giving in…" I sing and then I around to my band and then I come back into the song powerfully.

"I will not bow! I will not break! I will shut the world away! I will not fall! I will not fade! I will take your breath away!" My voice goes through the mic as I start fully sink into the music.

"And I'll survive, paranoid! I have lost the will to change…" I sing as that last lyric hits home and I continue to perform for the camera and my friends that I so badly want to repay from that night.

"And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fate! I will shut the world away!" I sing touching my bare chest and then I drop the mic to my side.

The lights shut off and I back up from the front of the stage to let Rouge,Amy and Tails play their music break. I exit the stage and I watch the lights turn a dark red. Showing over them playing excitedly and I start to feel the excitement too as I clench the mic. Amy sound of her guitar makes me stare at her the most as I watch the passion flow from her face as she occasionally sticks her tongue out and smiles at the camera.

"Wow, she was really meant to do this."

I think to myself as I look over at Tails who was almost standing as he carries everyone through the song. His scarf starts to fall of his head as well due to all the movement he is doing as he crashes on his drums. His eyes look so on fire as he smiles big.

The music makes my heart to pump more and then I run out as the lights turn off and Amy and Rouge move back to their spot.

"I will not bow!I will not break!" I sing as I throw the mic in the air and I slide down on my knees as I catch it.

"I will shut the world away! I will not fall! I will not fade! I will take your breath away" I sing as the lights come back to us and then my jacket falls off a bit from my shoulder as I continue to sing.

"And I'll survive; paranoid! I have lost the will to change…"The camera zooms up to me as I sing to finish the song.

"And I am not proud cold-blooded fate!" I sing as I point the camera.

"I will shut the world away." I sing as I bring the mic slowly down.

The rest of the band take over the end part of the song ending with Rouge and Amy being the last people heard. The lights shut off as I stare into the camera intensely and then the lights come back on snapping me out of my trance.

"Wow, great take- "

The super fans start to cheer us on, and I blush slightly as they as supportive as always. Sweat drips down my chest and I lean down to high five them and then I feel a small body wrap their arms around my body as they jump on my back.

"SONIC! YOU SOUNDED BETTER DURING PRACTICE!" Amy yells in my ear and I stand up blushing.

"Thanks- "

"AND THE MIC TOSS YOU THREW IN THE AIR WAS SO COOL!" Amy says jumping up and down I look of as she continues to praise me.

"Sonic holy shit. I haven't felt this good since the first time we performed on stage at emerald city!" Tails says.

"It feels so normal again but reborn at the same time. Sonic you really changed the game." Rouge says.

I blush hard and then I step back from their nice comments.

" I- just wanted to make up for last time. That's why I chose this song because I wanted you guys and everyone else to know that I realized my mistakes... " I say but then they look at me with tears in their eyes.

"And y-you guys sounded great too- "

They all tackle me and this time I fall on the stage causing them all to laugh.

"Sonic is such a sweet, mean dumb ass." Rouge says causing me to frown until Amy starts to laugh.

My band continues to say nice things about me, and it makes me feel touched by their words.

"I didn't even know how important I was to the band. The actions I did before must have really shook them."

Amy jumps up and then calls Cass over and Ten.

"OKAY! PERFORMANCE SHOT DONE! NOW WHAT'S NEXT!" Amy yells over everyone making everyone get quiet.

We all stand up as well as we prepare for Ten to give us the instructions.

"Okay, the take you guys did was great but now it's time for the B-roll shots. Which just are extra shots of you guys doing cool stuff to go to the music video." Ten says walking up to us with a paper in his hand.

"It shouldn't take that long since the shots are going to be very brief. So, who wants to record first." Ten asks and none of us says anything.

Amy looks back at us and then she blushes as we look at her.

"O-Okay. I can go first!" Amy says and Ten smiles at her.

"Cool. Everyone besides Amy off stage. Take a break." Ten says as he motions Amy to move to the side of the stage.

We all walk off the stage and Cass comes up to me quickly.

"WHEN COULD YOU SING THAT GOOD?!" he exclaims, and I chuckle a bit while scratching my head.

"For a while. I don't really tell anyone about besides the people who come watch us and find out." I say and Cass nods his head with stars in his eyes.

"I was just so shocked! Hey, you need to try to get signed to a record company or something." Cass says and I shake my head and laugh as I walk to a table that had snacks and water on it.

Udio provide us with food which was great since we were going to be here all day. I grab a water bottle and I turn back to Cass to respond to his idea.

"Nah, I don't think the celebrity singing life is for me. I feel like they would try to control everything about me and also I don't even know what I want to do." I say and Cass looks at me shocked.

"What?! You don't know what you want to do?" Cass points at the stage and I look at and I notice that Amy has her guitar in her hand and she is talking to Ten about something. " What you need to do is what you just did! That amazing, seriously."

"Thanks, but I don't know. I'll give some thought into though since we are third years now. I have to pick a major soon." I say and Cass nods his head.

Our conversation about my singing gets cut off as Amy starts to play her part loudly through the crowd. The lights even go with it and we watch Amy turn around and pose as she places while looking at the camera. Amy flips her hair and I feel my chest beat as her eyes sparkle with confidence.

"She looks so- "

"Amy looks so pretty." Cass says softly as he blushes slightly.

His words make me look at him as I drink my water bottle and I clear my throat to speak but Amy's loud guitar blasts through our ears. My eyes move towards Amy and I watch her turn around and then lean back to where she is looking at the camera upside down as she plays her guitar. Amy licks her teeth and winks at the camera as she turns around and flips her hair again while walking on the stage.

I look at Cass and he is blushing as he stares at Amy. I crush my water bottle in my hand as I was him basically fond over her.

"I can easily tell him that me and Amy are a thing but why won't I?"

Clapping erupts near the stage and I hear Rouge cheer Amy on. Amy laughs and then she places her guitar back on the stand. She walks off and points at Tails who blushes immediately.

"Uh… Sonic you are crushing your water bottle." Cass says pointing at me.

I look down and notice the water is dripping my arm and I stop clenching the bottle.

"Oh shit. I don't know what came over me." I say laughing off my jealously and Cass brushes It over and hands me a napkin. "Thanks." I say and then they call up Tails to record next.

Time passes and I luckily find a random couch to in the back of the club to lay on since everyone else was busy getting shots of Amy, Rouge, and Tails for music video. Ten was even getting shots of the crowd as well which made things take a little longer than I thought.

Not that I cared. This couch was giving me all the life I needed as I took various naps on it.

Suddenly I feel a hand shake my shoulder and I don't look because I would rather sleep more than stand up and sing again. The shaking of my shoulder starts to get more aggressive and I groan.

"Just thirty more mintues and I swear I will probably not get up." I say.

"Cool. I'll just go tell Amy that you don't feel like getting up." Says Tails voice and I shrug my shoulders.

"Okay… AMY! SONIC SAID HE DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT AND HE ALSO SAID THAT YOU CAN'T TELL HIM WHAT TO DO!"

Tails false words makes me open my eyes quickly and I lean up.

"What? Tails I didn't say that. Why would you tell her-"Suddenly I feel a strange aura near me and I slowly turn around to see Amy's furious face.

"Amy. I didn't say that- "

Amy grabs my arm tightly with her famous death grip I have been feeling since she caught me singing in my house and forced me to go to her band's initiation day. Her grip tightens making me stand up weakly as she pulls me along to the stage.

" . AMY, I DIDN'T SAY THAT!" I say painfully as she continues to destroy my arm.

Amy moves me on the stage, and I sit down the edge only for Amy to pull close to her face.

"You are killing me- "

"Sonic." Amy says that makes me look at her angry eyes, but she sounds so calm. "The next time. You. Fall asleep. Anywhere at these kinds of events. Practices, or performances. I. Will make you sure. That you. Sonic The Hedgehog. Will have the greatest nightmare of life. Come true." Amy says with a smile on her face and then her death grip increases causing me to squeal in pain.

"Do I make myself clear?"

"Y-YES. OW!" I say as it gets worse and then she lets go of my arm.

"Great! Now Cream is going to do your make up and you better not give her trouble, or you will be seeing me again." Amy says as she threatens me again and I rub my arm.

I notice that Amy had on make-up already and she had fake blood dripping from her nose and fake purple bruised marks on her body. I was about to question it but Amy glare at me is telling me just to avoid it for now.

"Okay. Okay." Amy walks off and I look around and I watch Tails looking at me from far away laughing.

I flip him off and then I hear someone clear their voice at me causing me to jump.

"Oh- Sorry I didn't mean I didn't mean to scare you! Haha, I can see why you are scared from what I saw Amy do to you." Cream says laughing a bit and I look over her face to see that she looks… like a zombie almost.

"Yeah… hey do you have makeup on like that?" I ask and she looks at me confused.

"You didn't hear? We are going to create an apocalypse battle to go with the song… "

"Huh?" I ask and then I take a look around at everyone.

Everyone either had random spots of blood on their face or purple bruises that made them look undead. Their attention is put on Ten who is telling them how to do something, but I can't hear what's going on from my position.

"Everyone has makeup on?" I ask and Cream nods her head and laughs.

"Yeah, the other band members too but since you are the main character and the like the hero of the entire battle your make up has to be the best so bear with me if I get super close to you." Cream says and I look back at her.

"Battle? Like fighting?"

"Yeah, apparently you are supposed to be fighting Knuckles at the end and saving all of your band members. I think it's going to super cool." Cream says and then she grabs her brush and runs it in some grey powder. "Now, hold still for a moment while I make you look dirty and beat up."

Cream brush touches my face and I look around at everyone learning some moves for the shot that is about to be taken.

"I go to sleep for a moment and now I am about to film a fighting scene to save my band mates."

"Okay! Everyone get in position to attack Amy first!" Ten yells and Amy jumps on the side of the stage holding her guitar.

The crowd moves toward the side of the stage and they prepare to get up on it and pull her off to make it seem like she is getting attacked. Cream places her hand on my face, bringing it back to hers.

"I know you want to watch but I really have to do this quickly so hold on."

"Sorry." I apologize and Cream goes in the rad powder and starts emphasizing my bruises on my face.

Amy screams as I see her from my periphial, practically get torn from the stage and into the big crowd of people. Amy screams and hollering makes my leg shake as I want to look so bad and Cream laughs at me.

"She sounds like she needs help." Cream jokes and I laugh a bit at her dark humor. "You better save her once it's your turn to film."

"I don't know… she did just almost rip my arm off so maybe I'll let them kidnap her a little bit." I say joining in on Creams jokes and she laughs with me.

Tails and Rouge go next, as they taken from the stage and I yawn big as the time goes by so slow. Right now, Cream is working on putting bruises on my chest since it was out in the open. Cream stands back and then she smiles at her work.

"Perfect!" Cream says and I finally stand up.

Before I can even thank her Ten comes over to me and steals me.

"Okay, Sonic. This is it. The lasts clip of the day so don't act so soft like you usually do." Ten says pulling me to the crowd of people.

"Soft? That's actually a compliment because everyone thinks I am scary most of the time." I say and Ten laughs. " But… why do I have to act tough?"

"Oh, because you are fighting Knuckles after you jump off the stage, onto the fans, knocking them to the floor, fighting them and then you fight knuckles to save your band members." Ten says pushing me up on the stage and I turn around as I take in all the information he just said.

"Jumping from the stage onto people? When did you guys think I was a superhero or something?" I ask and Ten shrugs his shoulders as he turns around and motions everyone to get into position.

"You have to be to save the band." Ten says and turns around. "You would save them right before they get ate alive?"

"Y-Yeah, but they aren't about to be- "

"Yes, they are." Ten says pointing at Tails who was surrounded by people and had a camera on him. "CASS MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING CLOSE TO TAILS FACE WHEN THEY JUMP ON HIM!"

Cass gives Ten a thumbs up and cues them to fake attack Tails. Three members jump on Tails and Tails actually looks scared as they rip his scarf off his head and try to rip him apart. I stare concerned as I didn't know how it was going to feel to be attacked and then Ten smiles at me.

"Ready?"

"No-"

"Great! Cue the golden lights on the stage!" Ten says jumping off leaving me alone.

Bright lights shine on my face causing me to shield my eyes could adjust and then I bring my hands down as I look at everyone. On the right Rouge was getting dragged by some crew members and Tails was on the back left still almost getting pummeled. Suddenly I see pink hair go in the air and they are lifting Amy in the air. Amy struggles and tries to get out of their grip but they don't her go.

"I know this isn't real but why does it feel real- "

"Hey! Sonic! We are filming and you are already selling it! But you need to come save them before they die!" Ten says near the camera, filming my afraid reaction.

"Uhh…"

I nervously look down at the crowd of people reaching for me like zombies as their grey arms and hands smack the stage, wanting to get me in their grasps. I back up a bit and then Amy screams as I watch them bring her to the ground and her guitar falls out of her hand.

"Amy- "

"Sonic! Help us!" Rouge yells as she tries to hold them off by getting on a table.

"Help them? All I have is a knife- "

"OW! STOP BITING ME!" Tails yells as someone is really biting him.

Tails being makes me take a step forward until Amy screams out again but this time it sounded so real.

"AHH! SONIC PLEASE HELP-" One of the random people cover her face and brings her in the a crowd to where I can't see her anymore.

"Amy… I know this is fake, but she seemed really hurt- "

"Sonic!" Ten yells at me and I turn my attention back to him. " I'm going to play a recording of the part of the song this battle is going in so just feel the music and save your friends!"

The music starts to play, and I swallow heavily as jumping into a group of people see nerve wrecking.

Sweat comes down my forehead as the lights wear super-hot and I clench my fist as I look at the scary people below me. I look around at everyone being attacked and for some reason I take steps back. My legs have a mind of their own as I walk all the back to the back of the stage and then I stop. I charge forward, knocking down the microphone stand that was in the front and then I jump in the crowd.

Ten plays the part from when Amy, Rouge, and Tails are just playing the song and for some reason it really feels like I am about to jump in a battle. My jacket flows in the air until I hit the ground. My hood flips on my head from the impact and everyone I jump near fall to the ground. As I try to catch my balance a guy runs at me and grabs my wrists and he yells at me as I push him back. A flip switches in my head as I push the guy back hard with force and he stumbles and collides to the ground.

"NICE SONIC! BUT DON'T KILL THEM!" Ten says and laughs on the microphone he had and they film as I fight off the "Zombies." The music break still goes on as I push down multiple people who were playing off the part very well since all I did was push a few of them and fake punch some.

I bring my leg up on someone's chest and I actually kick them to the ground and they fall down. I almost stop what I am doing to see if they are okay, but a two people jump on my back causing me to fall to the floor and they pull at my jacket. Another person comes and they causes me to fall onto the floor as they rip away my jacket, leaving me with a bar chest and then I flip around and push two of them off of me with my feet. They fly back and then I stand up quickly to fight the third one coming at me.

The third one runs at me and wraps their arms around my torso causing me to lift them up and throw them over my shoulder carefully so they wouldn't get hurt. They fall down and then I watch them tumble a bit. I step back and I look around everywhere to see that I pretty much took down all the zombies.

My eyes hit Tails and I watch him try to get up. I jog over to him and I pull him on his feet. Tails smiles at me and fake limps as I carry him to the stage.

"About time holy fuck." Tails says as he breathes heavily and I laugh at him as I push him on the stage.

Tails climbs on it as he does, I turn around to still see Rouge getting attacked by some zombies who were trying to get her ankles. One of them actually does and she almost falls off causing me to run super-fast towards her. I push the zombies down and Rouge looks at me rolls her eyes.

"I could have took them on."

"No, you couldn't have." I say and then Rouge smiles at me as she jumps down and runs towards the stage.

I watch her get on their safely and then the lights shut off and a red spotlight comes behind me. A huge shadow covers my body and I turn around slowly to see a big figure in front of the light holding something over their shoulder.

"What?"

The music blast louder and causing me to turn around. Knuckles is standing there with the dark circles around his eyes and he is also looking at me evilly. I turn my full attention to him and then the lights turn back to a golden white but darker.

Unexpectedly Knuckles holds up Amy by her shirt and she looks at me weakly as blood runs from her mouth and she has bruises all over her body. Knuckles then throws Amy to the ground and Amy hits the ground hard on her chest and winces slightly. Amy tries to crawl until Knuckles slams his foot on her back causing her to yelp out.

"That looked so real- "

"COME GET HER SONIC!" Knuckles says to me and Amy arms shake as she tries to get up but the weight from Knuckles foot was making it hard for her.

Me knowing this is fake, I just kind of stare until Ten repeats the music break again and then he yells at me.

"Are you going to save her or what?" Ten says and I don't repsod as I look at Amy.

Amy leans her head up slowly and looks at me in pain. Her shaky hand comes up and she spits out blood making me widen my eyes.

"Help me…" Amy mouths and electricity runs throughs my body.

Knuckles slams his foot on her back again making her winces in pain and then he moves his hand out to me and motions me to fight him. A smirk rises on my face and I take towards him and so does Knuckles. Knuckles eyes light up too. The lights start to flash red and black as I throw at fist at Knuckles but he catches it easily throwing me off guard and then he powerfully grabs my neck and slams me on the ground with his hand behind my back. I freak out for a moment but Knuckles stops the impact of me hitting the ground by his hand on my back and I gently plop on the ground. Knuckles other hand goes around my neck and I grab at his hands as the lights start to go back to white and black quickly.

"Heh are you that easy?' Knuckles says trying to make me mad and then I smile back at him.

"Not now since we are acting." I say and then I hear my part of the song coming on.

Knuckles actually squeezes my neck and then I wince as it hurts for a second but he stops, waiting for me to attack back. My voice sings in my ears.

"I will not bow!"

My voice sings in my head and then I fake headbutt Knuckles in the face. Knuckles reacts to it and before he falls off of me I place my foot on chest and I push him away from mine. Knuckles falls on his back and then I stand while he is open.

"I will not break!"

My fist comes up and I pretend punch Knuckles in the face and his whips his head to the side like I really punched him. Knuckles then flips up and jumps at me. This time K knuckles throws his fists at me and I catch them. Knuckles pushes down on my hands as his strength is way overpowering than mine I was going to back down.

"I will shut the world away! "

Instinctilevly, I sweep my foot under Knuckles, throwing him off and falls back again. I bring my foot out and fake kick Knuckles hard in the face knocking him out as his head bobs and he lays out on the floor.

"I will not fall.I will not fade!" The lights turn too a bright light and shines on Amy and Amy leans up and looks at me.

"Save her." I think to myself and I walk over to her slowly as the music and the lights still flash over us. I bend down and I pick up Amy bridal style and she smiles at me. Amy wraps her arms around me as she looks at me face adoringly.

"I will take your breath away.

And I'll survive.

Paranoid"

With Amy, in my arms I look back to the stage and I walk back to it slowly as the music carries on. I step over many bodies as I make my way to the stage and I walk up the steps.

"I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fake!"

Rouge and Tails are jumping up and down as they see I saved Amy making me smile a bit and Amy smiles too. I place Amy on the stage and Rouge hugs her and then me. Tails join in too and they all cheer me on and pat me on the shoulder.

The lights go red again making me look out at everyone who was on the floor "dead." And then
"I will shut the world away

Fall!"

The music is about to come to a close and the lights go back to light as all of us looks out into the floor and Ten waves at us and I look towards the camera. The music stops the room is silently.

"Alright! Cream add the fake blood to Sonic's head and have it drip down his face. "Ten says and Cream runs up on stage and I back a bit.

"Wha-"

"Bend please." I bend down for Cream and she drips some blood on my forehead and I feel it running down slowly down my face.

"Ew. This feels gross-"

"OKAY, NOW EVERYONE HURRY! TAKE YOUR WEAPONS AND POINT THE CAMERA LIKE YOU ARE FACING EVERYONE AT THE TOYKO SUMMER FESTIVAL!" Ten yells and Amy quickly takes out her bow and arrow and points at the camera.

Rouge and Tails does to and I simply take the knife from my tool belt and I point it at the camera.

"Okay just stay right there… look angry or menacing." Ten says as he zooms in on us.

The blood trickling down my face goes down the side of my face, off my chin, and to my chest. We stand like this for a moment and then Ten throws his paper in the air.

"Okay! We got all of it! Great job everyone." Ten says sighing.

Everyone starts to cheer as they get up from the floor and I slowly drop my knife down.

"SONIC! SONIC! SONIC!" Amy yells jumping up and down in front of me.

"H-Huh?"

"YOU LOOKED SO COOL! YOU JUMPED OFF THE STAGE AND WENT "SWOOSH" AND THEN WENT "BAM BAM" TO THE ZOMBIES! AND THEN WHEN KNUCKLES CAME YOU POPPED HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!" Amy going on and I blush slightly but the blood from her mouth makes me touch her face.

"How did you spit this out. It looked so real." I ask and Amy smirks at me.

"IT WAS ALL FAKE! While you were saving Rouge, Cream poured some in my mouth and it tasted disgusting but I bet it looked cool!" Amy says and I frown at her.

"They were handling you too hard. Are you hurt?" I ask raising her arm up.

"I'm fine. I'm fine, stop being a parent." Amy says poking my nose and I blush a tad bit.

"I-I was just making sure- "

"Sonic, you actually looked like you were trying to save us. Haha, it felt so real."Tails says coming up to me and I start to feel more worried.

"I had no idea we were going to be battling so it looked really real. It looked like that guy was really biting you."

"Oh, he was. It hurt too." He says and I was about to question that until Rouge grabs my ear.

"Sonic did look cool, but what took you so long! We really would have died if this was real!" Rouge says.

"True. Sonic looked scared for a moment. Who knew you could look like that?" Amy says poking my chest, reminding me I was shirtless.

"Zombies are scary." I say and they all laugh at me.

Knuckles, Cam, Ten, Udio, D'Coolette and Cream comes up to us and they clap for us.

"Sonic, looked so serious. You guys have to watch the clip after Ten edits it!" Cass says and Ten smiles lightly.

"Sonic, you really tried to fight me at one point." Knuckles says and I laugh at him.

"Hey, I didn't know what to expect coming from you so I had to have my guard up for a moment. Also, the way you stomped on Amy really took me by surprise."

"Amy insisted that I should do it." Knuckles says and Amy gives him a thumbs up and then she turns back to Ten.

"Did we get it all?" Amy asks Ten and gives a thumb up.

Amy eyes start glimmer and I think mine does too as I realize we really may have a chance to get back the competition.

After that crazy battle, everyone starts to clean up and say their goodbyes to us. I find my jacket on the floor before we exit as I remember it got ripped from me. As we exit the building, I notice that it's sunset and we had been in that club for so long that the sun was starting leave. A yawn escapes my lips and then I feel a head on shoulder.

Amy yawns as leans on me I blush slightly as she uses me for something to lean.

"I'm so tired." Amy responds and Cass walks up to us.

"Me too. I don't see how you guys do this. I'm pooped. Cass says and Amy yawns louder and nods her head.

"You guys did great, though. Seriously, that was crazy." Tens says and we thank him.

We make it to my car and everyone kind of stands around and talks about our performance today. As they talk, I lean my driver side door and Amy still leans onto me but this time she wraps her arm around my mine in front of everyone and closes her eyes.

I look up at everyone who seemed to just mind their business, and no one was talking about Amy was basically cuddled up with me.

"This is our first time even looking like a couple in front of everyone and she hasn't even said anything." I think as Amy breathes softly.

"S-Sonic." Amy says looking up at me. "You never made that Dango for us to apologize."

"You are right… wait what made you remember that all the sudden." I ask and Amy yawns closes her eyes leaning back on me.

"I'm hungry." She says.

"You are? I can make you something- "

Suddenly Amy's hand goes in the air and hits me the face as she gets excited out of nowhere.

" I HAVE AN IDEA!" Amy yells getting our groups attention and removing her hand from my face, she just hit on accident, but she was too excited to notice that.

"WE SHOULD HAVE A WAITING PARTY AT SONIC'S APARTMENT!" Amy yells and my eyes widen as she gives out that idea.

"Sonic was SUSSPOSED to make us dango to apologize but he never did. So, now I am making Sonic host a waiting party. As we wait for the results to see if we made it." Amy says and I blush hard.

"A-A party? I don't even know how to host it- "

"THAT A GREAT IDEA! WE CAN ALL BRING FOOD!" Cass exclaims and Cream hears the word food and walks closer to the conversation.

"We could! Oh! And Sonic can cook so it's a win win!" Amy says, using me for everyone's happiness.

"Sounds great! We can show up an hour before they reveal the results." Rouge says and Amy nods her head.

"Udio! You are invited! And you too D'Coolette if you would like to join!" I say and D'Coolette shakes her head.

"No, thank you children but when you make it. Make sure to call me way before so I can get you all outfits. I have to take off now as well so bye bye!" She says and we all wave goodbye to her.

"Udio! You are coming right?" Amy asks walking to her bother and he nods his head.

"Sure, why not. It will be fun." Udio says and Amy jumps and down.

"SWEET- "

" ." I say stopping the ongoing plans of barging into my home to eat and watch the results appear on television. "I haven't even said you guys could come to my house."

Everyone starts to look sad and I blush as they all give me puppy dog eyes.

"Sonic, please."

"Yeah, Sonic we promise to be on our best behavior."

"I can bring some food, so you won't have to cook all of it."

"Sonic, don't be a meanie head."

"Sonic, come on. It's just for one day."

All their sad remarks get to me and I blush even harder.

"Fine."

Everyone cheers and I roll my eyes as I unlock my car.

"Okay, guys! Well we will see each other on that day then! See you soon!" Amy says dismissing everyone.

Everyone starts to walk to their cars and then Amy runs around mine to get in hers. Amy sits down and yawns again.

"Shit. I'm tired, haha." Amy says running her hand through her hair.

"Me too." I say as we back out and I start driving back towards Amy apartment.

As we drive back Amy and I talk about how crazy the scene was when we were fighting, and we are hoping that the judge would understand what was going on.

Amy apartment appears and I park so I can walk her to her door. Amy gets out and I grab her bag as we both walk towards her front door. Amy doesn't speak much as I am sure she is tired, and I am pretty exhausted too. Amy puts the key in the hole, and I stretch my long arms. The door opens and Amy turns back to me and I hand her bag to her.

"Thanks Sonic." Amy says sleepily.

"Yep. Yep. Anytime." I say and then Amy looks at me for a moment.

"What?"

"Thanks for… giving the band another try." Amy says sweetly and her voice makes me blush and looks off.

"Yeah... I'm glad you gave me another chance so I should be thanking you too..." I say and then my eyes go back to hers.

Amy blushes and then she steps back further in her apartment.

"Um- I was going to- ask if you wanted too… eat something, before you go back home." Amy says and her words make me fully awake.

"Food?" I question her and I lean on the door. "You are going to cook for me?"

A smirk appears on my face as Amy blushes even harder and she starts to look off.

"I know we are both going to eat when we got home so I just thought we could eat together. Not romantically or anything but just… to eat together." Amy says and I smile at her.

"Sure, and if the food is nasty, we are fighting." I say as I walk in and Amy immediately stops acting shy and starts to laugh at me.

"Fighting!? We already know who is going to win if we fight." Amy says as she closes the front door and locks it.

"I am."

"FALSE!" Amy yells at me as she takes her shoes off and I do so as well.

"Okay, burn the food so I can fight you." I say quickly and Amy laughs again as she enters her kitchen and I walk behind her.

"Violence is not the answer!" Amy says as she washes her hands and I sit at her counter as she has brown stools around them and I watch her take out things.

"Too you." I say replying back and Amy giggles as she walks to her fridge.

I watch Amy take out things and I can't help but to feel my heart thump more and more as I notice Amy is trying to fix us. All day she is practically showing me that she wanted to be with me. Even if they were small it still meant a lot and it made me trust her more.

Amy smiles as she turns around to me and she holds pork in her left hand and then beef in her right.

"This is random, but I was thinking burgers or ramen? What do you think?" Amy asks and I just look at her as she smiles at me.

"What I want? Hm?" I think as I still look at none of the items.

"You." I say and Amy's face goes completely red making me smile and then she giggles and walks closer to me.

"I'm not on the menu anymore, you took me off. Sorry." Amy says back smoothly and that makes me laugh as she turns around making my eyes move to her body.

"I can put you back on. Chef's choice."

"No, I'm off the menu, Sonic." Amy says sounded really amused and I chuckle softly as I watch her put the beef away and she decides just making ramen.

"I really do want her though. Hopefully she knows that too."

Don't forgettey to favorite and follow for spaghetti!
