Chapter 1: accidents happen
It was dark. Not a noise could be heard anywhere. It was quiet. Too quiet. As he walked along the long, winding halls of the facility, he began to notice light up a head. He started walking faster in hopes that the light would lead him to freedom. But, he shouldn't of had his hopes up. As soon as he walked out, an alarm sounded around the entire area, making him jump. Blinding lights flared around him, revealing the room he was in. It was big, large enough to fit two movie theatres. Giant aircrafts lined the walls, with docking pads and other machinery. He turned to run back, but it was too late. They already knew where he was.
"Sonic, did you get those postage stamps I asked for?" asked Amy Rose. "No Amy, sorry. I forgot to run by. I'll get now if you want." Sonic was a blue hedgehog with emerald eyes. His quills were long and sharp, and his smile gave many hope. Sonic was not just any hedgehog, though. As the name implies, Sonic is the fastest thing alive. "No, it's fine. I got to run by the store anyway. I can pick them up while I'm there." Sonic shrugged, and continued to hang up ornaments on her Christmas tree. Amy was holding a Christmas party for all their friends, and Sonic decided he wanted to come over and help decorate, because she was away and just got back. As Sonic grabbed a Santa bobble head out of a box, Amy grabbed her keys and purse. "Please don't burn the house down while I'm gone, Sonic." She teased. Sonic grinned and said "You better come back quick then." Amy rolled her eyes, and walked out the door. Sonic grinned again. He put the Santa bobble head on a coffee table and went back to the box.
Amy opened her car door. As she stepped out, she felt the cold December breeze hit her face. She smiled. She had always liked this time of year, when friends and family got together, and love would be floating in the air. She walked to the front of the store and grabbed a shopping cart. "The shopping however, not so much." She thought. She walked in the store and sighed. The entire store was full of last-minute gift shoppers rushing to get done in time to wrap them. People were fighting over gifts and shoving other people over. She would've liked to find some other place, but this was the only one with the things she needed. And it was too late to shop online, unless she asked Sonic to pick it up, but that wouldn't of worked for two reasons. 1:He has already done a lot for her, and 2: He would see what Amy got him, which would ruin the surprise. So, Amy gathered her mind, and set off through the store, hoping to come out in one piece…
