1. Rejection

Cream - March 20, 2025

Before any of this insanity happened, everything was completely normal. My life was normal, my friends' lives were normal, and even "her" life was normal. But all of that changed when something terrible happened to my best friend. No, calling it "terrible" would be a major understatement; rather, it was traumatizing.

The whole story's really sad and depressing, and I'd hate to talk about it to anyone Heck, I'd hate to be reminded of it, too. But if you guys really want to hear about what happened, the here's the story:

It all began around the end of March when I was walking through the Station Square National Park with Amy Rose.

"I'm definitely going to win Sonic's heart this time," Amy boasted. "And that's because I have special to give him today!" As usual, she always saying how she loved Sonic and how she would get him to love her back. It's a monotonous thing she does, but as a good friend of hers I try not to be bothered by it.

"Really? What did you get Mr. Sonic?" I asked Amy.

"It's a bracelet I found in a jewelry store" She told me. "It was quite expensive when I bought it, but I think it perfect fits Sonic."

"Can I see? I want to know what it looks like." I was starting to get curious.

"Sure thing!" Amy took out a small box, no bigger than the palm of her hand, from her handbag. She opened the box up and displayed it to me.

"Wow, it's beautiful!" I exclaimed.

It was a silver clamper bracelet that was cover with small diamonds and sapphires. On the center of each side, there was a blue spinel attached onto the bracelet.

"You'll never guess how much money I needed to buy this...and how long it took me to make that much!" Amy told me.

"I'm sure you went through a lot just to get that bracelet." I replied.

"I hope Sonic likes it. Even if he isn't going to wear all the time, I really hope he appreciates it!"

Amy closed the box and put it backed into her handbag.

"When are you going to meet Mr. Sonic?" I asked.

"Oh, right! I need to go see him right now!" Amy turned tor run. "Sorry to cut off short Cream, but I have to go!"

"Wait, do you know where he is?"

"Yes, he should be somewhere around the Casinopolis District today! Well anyways, goodbye, Cream! Wish me luck!"

She told me to wish her luck. I think I should have done so.

Amy - March 20, 2025

With my heart beating like crazy, I was running fast. I really couldn't wait to meet up with Sonic. In fact, I've been waiting for this day to come!

My heart is beating fast. I'm so excited and anxious. But I have confidence in myself. I know this kind of stuff never succeeds, but this time I'm sure that I will get him to love me!

Finally, I arrived at the city limits of Casinopolis, and saw the guy of my dreams. He was right there, standing around the border. Happily, I dashed right to him.

"Hi Sonic! I'm so glad to see you today!"

Sonic just took one look at me, and went back to whatever he was doing.

"Oh, don't act like you didn't see or hear me...I've got something great for you this time!"

"As if..." Sonic mumbled.

"Hey, you don't have to be that negative. I'm sure you'll like it!"

"And a thousand bullets will come down like rain. Yah, I'm not buyin' it Amy."

I got annoyed by what he said. What's up with him today? He's being a bit obnoxious.

"Sonic, what' wrong?" I asked. "Did something happen between you and Shadow or Knuckles again?"

"Like it matters to you at all. Just let me be." He replied.

"Sonic, you don't have to talk like that!"

"So what? Do you think I care right now? Amy, just go away!"

"Sonic, please don't act like this. If something's bothering you, maybe I can help."

"You can start off by by staying away from me!"

At this point, I was getting frustrated with sonic. This was not like him. Something was definitely up.

"Look Sonic, I don't want to cause any trouble! The least you could do is just listen to-"

"Do you EVER shut up, Amy?! Just leave me alone for once!" Sonic shoved me onto the ground and then ran off.

"Sonic...why..." I was on the verge of tears. How could he do that to me? And why would he act like this?

"Wait...oh no..." As I got up, I noticed that I had landed on my handbag. I opened it and take out the bracelet...only to see that it broke into two pieces.

Tears fell down rapidly from my eyes. My heart had relieved itself, but now it started to hurt. I've been rejected so many times before, but this was just too much.

After I put the broken bracelet back into my bag, I decided to go home. There's no point of me being outside anymore.

Sonic - March 20, 2025

I'll admit I felt sort of bad for treating Amy like that. But I don't care. I already had my own problems to deal with, and I didn't want anyone bugging me.

But I just hope nothing extreme happens.
