A Date to Forget
(Gotta Go Fast!)
(Ayla's Theme song - KC Undercover Theme Song)
(Ayla's POV)
*It's been a month since the Egg Moon incident. Right now, I was sitting in the living room with Chris, Cream, Cheese, & Vanilla. Chris & I were reading, Cream & Cheese were playing with some blocks, & Vanilla was watching the news*
Scarlet Garcia:*on the TV* City Park has been overrun. Overrun by fitness fans obsessed with running and skateboarders. These new crazes is all thanks to Sonic and Ayla the Hedgehogs. Their heroics are inspiring thousands of people to put on their jogging shoes and run for fun. And it's not just running, skateboarding has become the newest trend among Station Square's teen population. *she stopped a man wearing a sweatshirt that had Sonic's picture on it* Why did you decide to take up running, sir?
Man:*on the TV* I dunno. Sonic has such a great time racing around, I thought I'd try.
*She then turned to a teenage boy*
Scarlet Garcia:*on the TV* Why did you decide to take up skateboarding, young man?
Teenage boy:*on the TV* Well, Ayla can do some pretty sick moves on her hover board, so I thought I'd give it a try.
Scarlet Garcia:*on the TV* School officials and athletic coaches report that their track programs are more popular than ever and new records are being set daily. Experts in sports psychology are baffled by the sudden turn -
Amy:*off-screen* SONIC!
*Suddenly, Amy burst into the room, looking furious*
Chris: Hi Amy.
Cream: What's wrong?
Ayla: Are you okay?
*Amy jumped onto the coffee table*
Amy: Alright, where are you hiding, Sonic!? You better come out now!
Chris: He's not here.
*Amy put her arm around Chris' neck*
Amy: You can't fool me. I know you're hiding him. Chris is covering for you, so come on out, Sonic!
*She pulled out her hammer*
Chris: I'm not covering for him.
Cream: He's telling the truth, Amy.
Cheese: Chao.
Ayla: Sonic was here earlier, but he left and didn't say where he was going.
Amy: I better find him right away, or there's gonna be big trouble!
Chris: Why? What's wrong?
Cream: Is a monster attacking the city again?
Amy: No. It's worse.
*She was looking so angry, I thought I saw a red aura surrounding her. Cream hugged Cheese*
Cream: I'm sorry, Amy, I didn't mean to make you angry.
Cheese: Chao-Chao.
Chris: Take it easy. Just tell us what's going on and maybe we can help.
Amy: Nobody can help! Sonic had a date with me and he never showed up!
*I was completely shocked. I can't believe my brother actually gave in. Now I'm kinda glad that Sally isn't here. She'd probably kill my brother*
Chris: Is that all?
Amy: Oh, so you think I'm overreacting?
Chris: Well, just a little.
Amy: That's easy for you to say! It took him forever to ask me out. I was so excited I went out and bought brand new shoes! And a new hair ribbon!
Cream: You look really nice, Amy.
Amy: It doesn't matter how I look because Sonic stood me up!
*She started crying. I guess I can't really blame her. Ever since the day we met Amy, she's been practically begging him to take her on a date. Now he finally agrees, and he just stood her up. I'm gonna have a little talk with him the next time I see him*
Chris: I'm sure there's a good reason Sonic missed your date.
Amy: Oh yeah. Like what?
Chris: Well . . . Maybe he . . . I know! He had to stop Eggman from destroying the planet!
Ayla: Chris, Dr. Eggs-for-Brains is still in jail.
Chris: Yeah, I forgot.
Amy: Just like Sonic forgot our date!
Chris: Maybe he is coming, but he's running late.
*Just then, the doorbell rang*
Amy: He's here! Sonic! *she ran out of the room, leaving a cloud of dust, & making us cough. we the followed her* I'm ready!
*But instead of Sonic outside the door, it was Chris' Uncle Sam*
Sam Speed: Hey, is Sonic around, Amy? I just put a new engine in my car. He said he'd race me. I can't wait! My new engine runs on high-octane rocket fuel! It's got more horsepower than you can find in a rodeo! With this baby under the hood, I'll be taking a victory lap before he leaves the starting line!
Ayla:*in her mind* In his dreams.
Chris: Hi Uncle Sam.
Sam Speed: I hope he's not getting cold feet. When I called Sonic this morning, he said he didn't have anything else to do today. *that was the wrong thing to say. now Amy was looking really angry. Cream & Cheese clung to me & Chris* What's wrong? You look steamed.
Amy: SONIC HAS A DATE WITH MEEEEEEEEE!
*After Amy calmed down, we were all standing outside next to Sam's car*
Chris: She's upset cause Sonic missed their date.
Sam Speed: Well, that's a bummer. Looks like Sonic made two different appointments and stood both of us up.
Ayla: That's not like him at all.
Amy: The truth is Sonic doesn't care about me. That's why he didn't show up for our date.
Cream: Amy . . .
Ayla: Don't say that. I know my brother can be a jerk sometimes, but he always cares about his friends*
Sam Speed: Sonic's a busy guy. I bet it takes lots of patience to date him. Not to mention a pair of really excellent running shoes to keep up with him!
Chris: Uncle Sam!
Ayla: You are so not helping!
Amy: I know! *suddenly, she jumped into the passenger seat of Sam's car* Since Sonic bailed on both of us, we'll go out together!
*I looked at Amy like she had grown a second head*
Chris: You two?
Amy: Come on, we better get going before the whole day is shot.
*Surprisingly, Sam smiled & got in the driver's seat*
Sam Speed: Alright, Amy. Let's show Sonic we don't need him to have fun.
Chris: Hold on, Uncle Sam . . .
Sam Speed: Don't worry, we won't be long. Last year I set a world record for speed dating.
*Sam started up the car & drove away*
Chris: This is crazy!
Cream: Poor Amy. She's been waiting to go out with Sonic for a long time.
Chris: Yeah, guess Sonic doesn't take dating as seriously as she does.
Cream: I think it's awful.
Chris: Wait, don't get mad at me. Get mad at Sonic!
Ayla: Chris, buddy, you've got a lot to learn about a women's feelings. *I got out my board & got on it* Welp, I've gotta meet Tyler and the others for band practice, so I'll see you later. Bye.
*I flew away with Chris shouting after me . . .*
Chris:*off-screen* What do you mean I've got a lot to learn!?
*Later, I was at Tyler's garage. Tyler, Izzy, & Jake were setting up their instruments while I was adjusting the microphone. I also told them what was going on*
Izzy: Amy and Sam Speed are on a date?
Ayla: Yeah. But only because my brother stood both of them up.
Tyler: Why would he do that?
Ayla: Who knows with my brother.
Jake: Enough talk. Let's play some music already.
Ayla: Okay. Okay. 1. 2. 3.
*The music began*
*Ayla singing*
Move my feet to the beat down in my soul
Singin' for the people
That's how I roll
Who would guess that a regular girl
Could get to sing for the whole wide world
I love the microphone and the camera lens
(Yes, I do)
Now the audience is my best friend
And when the fans call out my name
(Hello, can you hear it)
I take the stage and entertain
When they sing along
It's such a rush
Now isn't this a plus
I must be a radio sweetheart
A radio sweetheart
*After a few hours, it was time to head home. I decided to walk most of the way home. I stopped at Pops on the way for a bite to eat. I was surprised to find Shadow in the store. Sitting at a table with a cup of coffee. I could see people looking at him out of the corner of their eyes. I decided go up him.
Ayla: Hi Shadow. *he turned & looked at me* Didn't expect to see you here.
Shadow: I like to come here on my breaks. I'm surprised to see you here without your brother.
Ayla: Sonic took off this morning and didn't tell me where he was going. Mind if I join you?
Shadow: Not at all. *I sat down in the seat across from him* Order whatever you like. It's on me.
*I blushed when I heard that*
Ayla:*in her mind* Shadow and I are alone. It's almost like . . . Like we're on a date!
*My face went really red. I could hear people whispering around us*
Teenage Girl:*whispering* Hear that? You think they're on a date?
Woman:*whispering* Of course not. Ayla's only 14. In my opinion, that's way to young to be dating.
Man:*whispering* Don't forget, Shadow's way older that her.
*That sent a chill up my spine. It's true that Shadow's older that me. What if he only thinks of me as a little sister? What if . . .*
Shadow: Hey. *I snapped out of my thoughts & looked at him* Are you gonna order something or what?
Ayla: Oh! Right! I'll just have mint oreo with whipped cream & sprinkles.
Shadow: Alright then.
*He got up from his chair & went to the counter. A minute later, he came back with my order. I slowly ate my ice cream & tried not to look at Shadow the whole time*
(Third-Person POV)
*Later that day, Eggman, Decoe, & Bocoe were glaring at Bokkun, who has just been thrown into their jail cell. He looked up at them with a nervous smile, but they just glared harder*
Bokkun: DON'T BE ANGRY AT ME. IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE STILL IN JAIL. HONEST!
*He burst into tears*
*Meanwhile, at the beach, Sam & Amy were looking at the sunset*
Amy: When we were racing down that road, I felt so alive! It was incredible!
Sam Speed: You could go even faster. You should try supersonic speed.
Amy: Maybe someday.
Sam Speed: You know, this turned out to be one of the best dates I ever had.
Amy: This is beautiful. And getting here was sort of fun. *they looked at each other* Thank you, Sam. If it wasn't for you, I'd spent all day feeling sad.
Sam Speed: The day's not over yet. You could still be in for a surprise.
*He turned around. Amy looked where he was facing & saw Sonic standing a few feet behind them*
Sonic: Hey there! Sorry I'm late!
*She jumped off the hood of Sam's car & ran towards him*
Amy: Sonic, you do care about me!
*She was about to hug him, but he jumped out of the way & went towards Sam. She fell to the ground*
Sonic: I'm ready to race, Sam!
Sam Speed: My car has a new engine. It'll blast right past ya!
Sonic: Yeah? We'll see about that! *they smirked at each other. Amy picked herself up as they were getting ready to race* Ready when you are!
Sam Speed: Get set . . . Go!
*They then took off down the beach, leaving Amy alone. She then got mad*
Amy: Those two guys . . . This was definitely the worst day ever!
(Ayla's POV)
*Later that day, when I got home, Sonic explained that he was late for both his date with Amy & his race with Sam because he had to deal with Bokkun, who was keeping distracted while another robot broke Eggman, Decoe, & Bocoe out of jail. Of course, that plan failed because Amy & Sam stopped it before it could even reach town. I decided to let the lecture slide, because my brother had a good explanation. I also decided not to tell Sonic about me hanging out with Shadow today. Another thing that happened today, was Cream making a new friend. A mustard-yellow, orange, olive-brown, & beige, blue eyed robot named Emerl*
