Entry 10
I can't believe it! I had a date with Sonic where I managed not to go crazy!
It was just dinner and conversation. The dinner was unimportant, but the company was great.
I really had to work to get him to agree to another date. I embarrassed him more than I realized with my little pool stunt. Hopefully that's behind us now! I made an effort to keep my cool the whole time, and it paid off; he smiled a lot and seemed to enjoy himself.
The conversation was about him, mostly. That's okay, I wanted to talk about him! I tried to work myself into the conversation (in an 'us' kinda way) but I didn't force it (I think).
He gave me two big hugs at the end of the date. I tried to use body language to get him to kiss me, but I didn't force the issue when I saw he wouldn't. That was the theme of this date: me trying, but not pushing.
See? Occasionally, when it's important enough, I can learn!
Only one bad thing happened, and it was after the first hug. He told me he'd be out of town for a few days, running.
I felt a bunch of things. I didn't want him to go, of course, but I was also scared. I didn't want to see him like… that… again.

I mean, he was so down after the last time he ran. I hope the two things aren't related. I can't imagine how sad I'd be if running made Sonic feel bad! I guess I just don't understand. Maybe it won't be like that.
Well, anyway, I shouldn't think about that! I'm Amy Rose, bouncy flower and girlfriend of Sonic! Yeah, that's right! I shouldn't worry about him going running; I should plan how I'm going to greet him when he comes back!
I think I'll kiss him.
