LOOKOUT: Sir! I think I see the end of the Legal Junk up ahead!

CAPTAIN: Finally! How far away is it?

LOOKOUT: About another 8 lines, sir!

CAPTAIN: That far? Ridiculous! How could you see it if it's that far away??

LOOKOUT: It's right below us now, sir!

CAPTAIN: It is? (Looks down) Why, so it is!

-----END OF LEGAL JUNK-----

CAPTAIN and LOOKOUT: Hooray!



Part One: Amy



Why?

Why can't I control my feelings?

Ever since I was really young, I've dreamed of meeting the perfect person to spend the rest of my life with. I used to spend days planning out the ideal wedding for the two of us. My father divorced my mother when I was only seven, and I knew I didn't want to have a relationship like that. I wanted one of complete commitment and undying love.

When I met Sonic, I knew I'd found my long sought-for lover. I'll never understand exactly which part of him caused me to first become so attracted to him. He's just so perfect, in every way!

But I'm no idiot. It's obvious from how he acts around me that he'd rather I not be around.

Is fate playing some cruel joke on me or something? I finally found the PERFECT guy, I'm talkin' Mr. Right, and he can't stand me! What did I ever do to deserve this? All I've ever shown him is devotion and love! Is it too much to ask for him to reciprocate even a LITTLE of that?!

.....I can't stand it.....

(Sniff) Why doesn't he like me?!? I've tried to be as kind and helpful to him as I can! I've been faithful, caring and understanding ever since we first met! I thought I did everything right, but he still doesn't like me.

If he'd just tell me what it is about me he dislikes, I'd change it! Even if it means altering my entire personality, I'd do it for him! But he avoids talking to me whenever he can, so I never have the chance to ask him about it.

It's not fair. Why me?! Why did I have to be the one to fall for him?! Why couldn't someone else have, and spared me all this grief?!?

.....(sob).....

I wish he would just admit his feelings so that I'd at least know for certain what he thinks of me. But since he hasn't yet, I still think there's some chance he might like me more than I think he does. Of course, after all this time, I'm beginning to seriously doubt it.

And yet I still love him anyway. I'll always love him. I'm fooling myself if I think I'll be able to move on, even if he does admit he hates me. I'll never love anyone like I love him.....

So even if he doesn't like me, I'm gonna still keep trying to win him over. Maybe if I try hard enough, he'll see things my way.

I just hope I'll be able to withstand this heartache until then.
