Medical Crisis

Author's Note: This story takes place some time after Sonic Adventure 2. Also, the second chapter may be somewhat graphic. This first chapter wasn't designed to express any angst, so you may want to at least read the next chapter for that. Now on to the story!

Chapter 1: A Stressful Date

It was a nice clear night in Station Square and the weather couldn't be better. But not everything was peaceful in the city because a certain car was driving down the highway with a rather stressed out driver. A certain blue hedgehog was at the wheel with a pink one sitting in the seat next to him.

"You know Sonic." Amy said with a gleeful tone, "I think we should go out again tomorrow. We've had so much fun that I'm still excited."

Sonic didn't look very excited, in fact his eye was twitching and looked like he was about to pop a vein. At first their date was fun indeed, they visited an amusement park and decided to spend their date there.

Flashback to earlier that afternoon:

"Wow! Cool! Let's spend our date here." Amy was very cheerful when she and Sonic drove by the amusement park. Sonic however wasn't so cheerful. Amy's constant rude appearances throughout his recent life and her annoying conversations were enough to drive anyone mad, let alone a hedgehog with a short temper. "All right Amy," Sonic said with some disgust in his voice, "let's get this over with."

Station Square's "Mega Amusement Park" was one of the largest amusement parks in the whole country. It had over fifty rides, hundreds of gaming booths, dozens of restaurants, and a three story arcade the size of a large warehouse.

"Well, let's at least go on all of the rides," Amy said cheerfully, "after all, we may not get another chance to come here anytime soon." She saw a nearby clock and it read 3 o'clock in the afternoon. "You see Sonic, we have plenty of time."

Sonic decided to loosen up for a change. Since he isn't really here for the date, he could at least try the rides and have fun. At least Amy didn't choose some boring stage plays or operas like in their past dates. Sonic and Amy went on many rides and nearly threw up several times, especially on the large ones. They ate at a couple restaurants, and played in the arcade for a few hours to recover from the rides.

Sonic was starting to get a headache from staring at the arcade screens, but noticed that Amy was still enjoying herself. He looked at the clock on a wall and noticed it was now 9 o'clock in the evening. Sonic then looked through the amusement park brochure and checked the map. He then came to startling realization. They've been here for six long hours and they haven't even been on half of the rides! Now his headache is getting much worse and he definitely felt like going home now.

"Uh, Amy," Sonic said while rubbing his temples, "I think we've been here long enough. We should go home now."

Amy just had another "game over" and was out of quarters. She's not very good with arcade games, but she seems to have fun anyways. "You know, I think you're right, I'm feeling a bit tired myself. But before we leave, I want to try one more ride."

Sonic gave a frustrated sigh. "All right Amy, which one?"

Amy pointed at a particularly large roller coaster on the brochure. Heck, it was the largest one in the entire amusement park and was appropriately named "The Giant of Station Square" or "G.O.S.S." for short. Sonic seemed rather worried, since he's never been on a roller coaster anywhere near this big. It had a 295-foot drop, had countless loops and twists, and the ride lasts for nearly ten minutes! But if this will get him home and finally away from Amy, he was willing to force himself despite his throbbing headache.

After more than half an hour of waiting in line, they finally got on the ride, and after the long ride was done, they each had different reactions. Amy was hollering with excitement and was very happy, Sonic would also be very excited if it weren't for his headache. His head now felt like small bombs were detonating inside and he once again started rubbing his head.

Amy noticed that he was rubbing his head very hard. "Hey Sonic, why are you rubbing your head like that?"

"Well, duh! I've got a splitting headache!" Sonic sounded very irritated, "why else do you think I'm rubbing my head?"

"Well I thought that you're just clearing your mind or something," she replied with some concern in her voice, "if you would have told me earlier, we could have gone home. After all, I don't want to see you like this, it hurts me just as much to see you like this."

Sonic couldn't believe what he just heard. They could have left this place a long time ago! "How could she have NOT known that I'm in pain," Sonic thought angrily, "is she really that dumb, or she always off in her own world?" Sonic was now on the verge of losing his temper, big time.

"Come on Amy, let's go now. When I get home, I'm going to swallow a couple bottles of aspirin and hopefully that'll be enough to stop my torturous headache." Sonic just barely walked a few steps and noticed that Amy wasn't following him.

Sonic walked back to Amy and practically yelled at her. "Now what!? What are you doing? Didn't you agree to leave now?" She didn't answer and Sonic noticed that Amy was bending over slightly and clutching her belly. Sonic's anger dropped slightly and started to feel concerned for her.

"If this is some trick to make me feel sorry for you, it's not going to work," Sonic said, but she still didn't answer or move.

Sonic finally got fed up with the situation and decided to shake some sense into her. But before he touched her, he heard Amy groaning and noticed something wrong with her face. He grabbed her and noticed that her pink face has almost turned green.

"Amy! Are you all right? What's happening?" Sonic now sounded more worried than angry and he knew that this was no trick.

"Sonic, I...b...b...BLEEEEEEH!" She threw up all over Sonic's face and half of his body! Sonic was totally shocked by what just happened.

He suddenly became so furious that the vomit covering his face and body started to sizzle. "Why.... you.... little.... piece of -."

"I-I'm so sorry Sonic," Amy tried her very best to apologize, "I didn't know that this would happen. I guess the G.O.S.S. had a bigger affect on me than I thought. After all, I -."

She began to feel another urge to throw up and Sonic quickly let go of her. She put her hands over her mouth and her cheeks started to puff out. She looked around and found a trashcan nearby and ran to it. She then threw up the rest of her "contents" into the trashcan and slowly walked back to Sonic, who looked like he was about to blow up.

"Um, Sonic, I think that we should clean up before we leave." She then walked to the ladies room to clean up. Sonic however just stood where he was like a statue. He refused to except what just happened, it was like a nightmare.

Sonic then looked around and noticed that everyone was staring. A few were rude enough to laugh and point. "What's the matter with all of you!? Have you ever seen a blue and BROWN hedgehog?" Sonic finally proceeded to the men's room while everyone around him started plugging their noses from the stench of the vomit covering him. As soon as he entered the men's room, everyone inside evacuated and ran out, also holding their noses. Sonic had nearly caused a stampede just by walking into a restroom! He has never been so humiliated in his whole life.

Flashback to the present:

Sonic started grinding his teeth together so hard, it seemed that they would break.

"You know Sonic," Amy said, totally oblivious to Sonic's current emotions, "it was really nice that person at the booth gave you some aspirin for you headache. This date was definitely unusual, but I've had more fun than any of our other dates. Didn't you enjoy yourself Sonic?"

Sonic was so silent that Amy didn't think anyone was driving. She looked at Sonic, "hello? Sonic, did you hear what I just said? You know it's rude to ignore someone who's talking to you. I'm not distracting your driving am I?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaagh," Sonic screamed so loud that the windows of their car nearly shattered. Immediately he pulled the handbrake and the car came to a screeching stop.

Amy had a very shocked look on her face. "Sonic! Are you crazy? What're you doing, we're in the middle of a highway!" Sonic gave her no answer, yet.

Well, I hope you like this chapter because the next chapter isn't going to be so humorous. Chapter 1 is like a prologue to set the stage for the story and to give the events of the rest of the story a better appreciation. Chapter 2 is where the real story begins. This fic isn't called "Medical Crisis" for nothing.
