UPDATED 22/12/08 – certain things have been corrected and/or re-written to what I believe is better
-Okay, good. I do not own Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles etc. They belong to Sega. But later in the story is my character. Anyway, here's my story. Enjoy-
Chapter 1
Prologue (Six Years Into the Future)
Eighteen year-old Amy Rose sung a cheery tune to herself while walking down the sidewalk, earning odd glances from people as she passed by them. She could hardly believe the luck that she'd had in the past few days…
-Flashback-
"Congratulations, Ms. Rose! You have won the Annual Station Square Lottery!" a stout man in a tacky suit informed Amy as she left a corner store, catching her off-guard.
"W-WHAT?! I DID?!" Amy screamed, covering her mouth with her hands.
"Absolutely!" The man half-turned to a cameraman, who was supposed to be filming Amy's reaction to the news, beside him. "This is Amy Rose, right?"
The cameraman nodded his head quickly, and the man faced Amy again with a painfully wide grin.
"I-I don't know what to say," Amy answered, happy tears beginning to form in her eyes. "I must be dreaming! I mean, what are the chances that I'd ACTUALLY win the lottery? Me – Amy Rose!"
The man put his arm around Amy. "Anything is possible, sweetheart! Would you like to know how much you've won?"
Amy clasped her shaking hands together and mouthed "yes".
"You've won…" The man paused to take out a slip of paper from his pocket and glance at it. "…A grand total of five million dollars! Ka-ching!"
Amy collapsed into the man, who caught her fall. "F-F-Five million dollars! This is insane!"
The man patted her arm, and then looked directly into the camera with his unfaltering smile. "Why, she's practically passed out from the excitement!" He chuckled. "We'll be right back after these commercials."
-End Flashback-
Amy stopped a few steps away from an alley. "That was the best day of my life," she sighed happily. "Well, the second-best day…the best day of my life will always be the day I first met Sonic. Speaking of which, I wonder where he is. I haven't seen him around lately."
Suddenly she overheard voices coming from the alley near her, and Amy couldn't help but listen to them. "Hmm…that kind of sounds like Sonic's voice…" Her brow creased. "What would he be doing, sneaking around in some dark alley?" Unable to restrain herself, Amy peeked into the alley, plagued with curiosity.
She spotted Sonic with his back to her about ten feet away, hand waving to someone further back.
"Okay, I'll catch you later!" he called.
"Sonic," Amy blurted out.
"Huh?" Sonic turned his body around and spotted her. "Oh, hey there, Amy."
Amy stepped into the alley, her hands folded in front of her chest. "Long time no see. Who was that you were talking to?"
"Oh, just a friend," Sonic told her.
Amy raised her eyebrow at him, prompting Sonic to roll his eyes.
"A guy friend," he elaborated.
She smiled at him, slightly relieved. "That's nice. Listen – what do you say we go for a walk to catch up on things? I mean-"
"I'd love to, Amy, but I don't think now's a good time." Sonic shrugged apologetically. "I sort of have something of a previous engagement. I hope you understand."
Amy put her hands on her hips. "With your friend?"
"No…with a girl."
-Hope you liked that, sorry all you SonAmy fans but this was what I thought up. I want at least 3 reviews before making another chapter ;-)
