Disclaimer: Sonic is something I will never own.
Okay. Peeps, I'll tell ya something now. My computer has been acting really
funny for the past few days now. I think I better lay off until my mother finds
out what the problem is. For now, enjoy what I put up. Hopefully not for the
last time.
Broken Hope
[Unidentified Location]
Pleasantly releasing a yawn, after being poked so much by too many blades of
grass by the gentle wind, Amy wakes up, having found out real quick she
overslept. Maybe she stayed up watching Shadow. and worried about him that
much, too. Surprisingly, she found a little pile of fruits next to her, and
Marti was away on one fruit, pecking at a kiwi.
/ Shadow? Did he.? / Amy began to think, but she put it off with a shake
of her head.
She picked out a juicy red apple, and she carefully took a bite out of it, and
found it to be delicious. 'Mmm, wow, this is good," Amy smiled as she
whisper-talked to herself.
"I see you're finally awake."
Shadow's voice scared her to the point she coughed on the piece she bit off,
and Amy regained her breathing composition. Looking behind herself, she saw
Shadow standing a few feet away from her resting spot. Blinking, Shadow nearly
scared Amy out of her pink quills.
"Hey!" She managed to say after she swallowed the piece. "You
scared me! I could have choked to death."
Shadow looked at her oddly with his best confuse-stare. Hmph. She was odd
enough, but she reminded him so much of his only friend from fifty years ago.
If anything were to happen to Amy, he didn't know what he would do, yet this
strange feeling was trying to get the best of him by letting himself look at
her in something more than just a stare. This was confusing Shadow more by the
moment, every time he got that odd feeling. What was it? He couldn't quite
point it out by himself, of what it was, but in the time that passes by, he
will find out.
His eerie staring just made her silent as he could be. What a weird hedgehog!
Tearing her eyes off of his stare, she just started mentally slapping herself
repeatedly. Amy should be glad he didn't leave her behind for G.U.N. to take
her and detain her. Holding the bitten apple in her hands still, she looked to
Shadow, who still had a locked-on look upon her. This was nerving her down a
bit, but she managed to speak out without her curiosity getting the better of
her. "Thank you, Shadow," She motioned towards the food, and he
merely looked away.
/ What is his problem? I mean, I thank him, and all he does is turn away!
Ooh! Why do boys always have to be like this? / Amy whined after Shadow
slowly walked away, for more moments of solitude....
Better yet, she got up slowly, weary of her leg, and walked in the opposite
direction of Shadow's. The little firebird hopped up, leaving an unfinished
kiwi behind, and Amy welcomed her little pet's company. Soon, she found herself
somewhere else, after she wanders off into a forest, in which she knows nothing
about. Looking to her companion, she sighs. "I wish you could speak
English, but I always wanted to talk to someone," Amy looked down a little
bit, but Marti chirped.
"Maybe it is good you don't tell other people, but I need to talk to
someone about Sonic, and you're the only one I can really talk to."
Amy began out, as she took in a deep breath. "I hate Sonic, I really do.
For the way he treated me. I'm not someone to yell at; He didn't have to say
any mean things from before just to get me to go away. I guess it was the last
straw I pulled, and he got so angry at me, he just blurted out he never even
loved me," Amy was on the verge of tears. Anyone, even Maxie, could tell
she was broken-hearted.
**
/ Is this.... why? I must know more, but I feel I may be intruding upon
something I am not supposed to know, yet. / Someone was following Amy, and
she didn't know about it.
**
"I don't even want to see his face anymore! Why didn't he see me because I
like his personality; because he was an adventurer, and a funny guy with
witty-like comments, and always stopped Eggman's plans? Ooh, I don't understand
him. Then there's Shadow. In the beginning, I actually mistook him for Sonic
when I hugged him. Boy, was that a surprise I was never gonna forget. .Then
there was aboard the ARK. When I found him in that lab, staring out at space,
or the earth, I . guess I was shy at first because he was alone in there, but
the colony was heading towards the Earth, and I didn't bother with my other
feelings. just the feelings of needing to help people. Something I spoke to
Shadow about. I was confused when I saw he shed a tear. and something about a
promise to a girl named Maria, and me. I don't get it why he would save me when
I smashed into the invisible beetle thingy by accident and broke my leg in the
process? Do you think he.," .
/ No... Amy, you're either imagining it, or losing it! /
She continued, ignoring the last sentence on purpose. "Marti, you think
you understand what I'm going through? Or am I just being someone that goes
crazy all the time?"
Marti was only chirping brightly, it didn't know what Amy was exactly saying,
but some of it made sense, like it understood.
"I knew you'd understand. Would Shadow? I mean... If I told him I...
um...," Amy lost her wording, because she couldn't say it. Something told
her not to say it, and just leave it be.
**
/ Told me what? / That same figure was in the shadows, watching Amy
undercover. He didn't mean to, but there was something up with her. Now he
understood many reasons for Amy's behaviors. One, obviously Sonic had outright
shooed her away with words that would particularly hurt someone. Two, she was
talking about him. Why would she be talking about him? And what was this? Once,
she completely left a sentence unfinished, and she left another sentence
incomplete. Is there something wrong with her?
"I know I'm being completely out-of-bounds with listening to her, yet Amy
just confuses me. What is she trying to say?" He says to no one as Shadow
slinks off into the darker parts of the forest, leaving Amy behind with her
little friend.
He had a lot to think about, since Amy was acting weird for some time now. Is
it because of him?...
[N. American Airspace over SF.]
"Yeeeeeaaaahhh!!!!" Shouted an unlikely familiar voice, but it wasn't
who someone would think. Having thrown her arms and fists in the air, she
'hangs ten' while a military jet swiftly cuts through the skies, on enroute to
the San Francisco Airbase in California.. Most likely, Blizzard had not wanted
to wait any further, so she just walked out after an hour of waiting. Being an
impatient type, she had taken on her own time to hitchhike on a taking-off jet
without anyone noticing at the G.U.N. Air Base that was near the fortress she
used to be concealed at.
"Alright!" She cried out constantly as the jet was passing over the ocean,
faster than anything she had been on. Literally she hitched a ride on the top
of the jet, and held on, yet she couldn't help but stay on the outer most top,
and act like she was air surfing, which she had commonly done before, aboard
the ARK... unlike 'someone' else who had preferred to be a downhill drag fifty
years ago. The fast-paced jet allowed Blizzard to experience her new-found
freedom over the pacific ocean, and heading to the United States to seek out
this 'Sonic' dude she was called as before. Even that Riley person mentioned
help from Sonic.
Soon the coastline of California was appearing in the horizon, and she could
see it because of the altitude the jet was at. Just a little more closely,
until the outskirts of San Francisco could be seen. Time to depart this flying
plane, and head off into the city to locate the blue hedgehog she was referred
to, and was told about, again. Rolling her eyes, she considered the height, and
the approximate distance, but yet she was willing to take a few breaks of bones
for something this too-awesome-to- miss-skydiving opportunity....
Instantly she let go of the jet, whose pilot was surprised that he had a
hitchhiker aboard this whole time. As she rocketed herself off, into the air,
and almost diving towards the city, she could get a breath-taking view of the
City. It was a bit bigger than she imagined, but as she fell, not on purpose,
Blizzard was doing some mid-aerial tricks to really stretch out. All she had to
do is land, but then again....... all of a sudden......
WHAM!!
"Oww! Geeze! HEY!" Cried an orangey-fox in a little boy's
voice, on which she landed on a blue and orange plane in the middle of the air,
too. Rotten luck, as the fox boy looked at her with some surprise.
"Sonic? I thought you were down there??...."
"Sonic? I'm no---," Something cut Blizzard off.
"Tails, something the matter?? I heard you call my name, and I am down
here! What's going on up there?" Came another voice, although this was
beginning to confuse Blizzard.
"Uh, Sonic, you're not gonna believe me but this 'other' blue hedgehog I
don't even know just came from the sky and landed on my back passenger
seat...."
"What?! What 'other' blue hedgehog are we talking about? There isn't any
other blue hedgehog but me!"
"Well, not this time... Meet me down near the bridge, and I'll probably
show you." Tails cut off the radio once he got confirmation from Sonic.
Looking back to his dazed 'passenger', he shook his head. "I dunno who you
are, but you sure gotta lot of explaining to do, seeing as you do look like
Sonic!"
"Gee, gosh. Everyone today has been referring to me as 'Sonic'. Isn't that
just dandy?" Blizzard sarcastically commented.
/ She sure has that kind of tone Sonic has! /
Soon, the cyclone landed, but not before Sonic came face to face with Tails. He
marched up to the Cyclone, and he, without knowing it wasn't a boy, instantly
yanked the passenger out, and stood Blizzard on her feet. Sonic looked
eye-to-eye with this hedgehog, which looked exactly like him, and started to
point accusingly. " Alright you, who are you? Why in the heck do you look
like me? Do you know how annoyed I get when someone impersonates me? Shadow
impersonated me the last time, and got me into trouble with the military! I don't
need any more trouble, so get rid of that ridiculous disguise, and show me who
you ar---," With that, Sonic found himself upon the ground, with a sore
cheek, too.
"Yeow!"
"Do you know how fed up I am with you talkin' to me like that? And
treating me that way, like I offended you or something?" Blizzard was
really angry, and REALLY angry to boot with that.
Sonic face-faulted; to now know the knowledge that this hedgehog was a girl...
Kuso.... "Ack! I'm sorry!! I didn't know you were a girl, so sue me!"
"Well, look before you get mad and stuff! I dinnit do anything to yas,
cause I was uh…. born this way! So nyah!" Blizzard stuck out her
tongue, to ridicule Sonic.
Tails looked at the two, and shook his head. Coughing a bit, he introduces
himself.
"I'm Miles Prower, but everyone calls me 'Tails'."
Sonic stands up, dusting himself off. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Well, My name's Blizzard the Hedgehog. And I heard you said 'Shadow'
impersonated you before. I got told he's dead, isn't he?"
"Huh? How did you know about Shadow? Well, basically, yeah, I think he is
dead. But I'm here to find out why Amy is missing. I gotta find her and
apologize to her quick before she decides to never forgive me..."
"You were with Shadow versus the Finalhazard... in space."
"How did you..."
Blizzard shrugs, and looks innocently away, as if nothing happened.
This was gonna be a long day ahead...
