Love's Surprises
Sonic just stared at Amy in complete awe. Tears were starting to form in his eyes from not seeing her in a long time, and from not blinking.
Michelle looked back and forth from Sonic to Amy and vise versa. She finally broke the silence and asked Amy if she knew him.
"Yes" was all Amy managed to squeak out of her mouth. And when Julia said they should get back to the case, almost everyone behind Sonic starting crying in joy.
"AMY, YOU'RE BACK!" Cream shouted in joy. She ran up to Amy and gave her a loving hug.
"Hey Cream! And everyone else…" She gave them all a happy smile, trying to avoid Sonic's gaze.
"Ames, you know these people?" Julia inquired curiously. Amy turned to look at Julia.
"Um, yeah I did. I knew them before I went to live with you guys… er girls!" Michelle shook her head at the weird pun.
Sonic finally snapped out of his trance and decided it was time to apologize to Amy.
"Uhh, hey Amy", Sonic said nervously. Amy's smile drooped as she looked at Sonic.
"Hey Sonic. How are you?" She asked drearily.
"Listen, what I said a year ago isn't true. I don't hate you Amy. I know it was wrong and there's no excuse for saying all those awful things to a person like you, and for that I'm sorry."
Amy looked at Sonic for a few seconds, and then finally answered, "You're forgiven."
Sonic gave her a small smile but was shocked when she didn't give him one of her hugs.
"Ok, now you guys said that you lost a Chaos Emerald?" Julia said, trying to get off of the mushiness.
"Yeah, we did. I lost it somewhere on this beach." Tails replied, still a little displeased with himself.
All of the Chaotix, except Haze were staring at the group of girls. Vector then asked a really weird question.
"Why are you guys girls?" Julia looked at Vector and raised an eye brow. She then answered with the weirdest answer ever.
"Oh sir I'm so sorry, but God chose us to be girls and we didn't really have a choice. We would've been boys but it's just that darn thing called fate."
It took Vector a few seconds to think about what she said. He then laughed out loud. He turned back to the group of girls.
"Ok, which one of you said dat— Vector immediately shut up when he noticed the burgundy echidna known as Julia. His eyes scanned her up and down. Then a sly smile appeared on his long snout.
"Well… what's your name, sexy?" Vector asked in a kind-of low but 'charming' tone. Julia heard him and flushed a deeper red than her fur.
Michelle then took this opportunity to tease her. Julia always told people that she would never fall for a guy's charm, because she was a loner. Although Michelle told her countless times that she probably has a soul mate waiting for her somewhere.
"Aww, does Julia find out that she can fall for a guy?" Michelle said in her cute voice. Julia's face then turned into red, hot anger. Her head slowly turned to Michelle and Amy.
"Let's just look for the stupid Chaos Emerald, ok?" Her voice was shaking with embarrassment and anger. Julia calmed down and then asked Tails where he had the Chaos Emerald last.
"Well… I think I was flying over the water. But it could be in the sand too. When I left, the tide came in and it washed over everything that could've been on the beach."
The Chaotic stood still and silent for a few moments, until Amy started whispering to them. From what seemed like they came to a conclusion, Amy nodded and turned to everyone else.
"Well since we can't just go swimming 'cause our clothes will get all see through and we don't know if the Emerald is even in the sand. So we have to pull out the secret weapon."
Sonic cast a weird glance at them. "What's the 'secret weapon'?" Julia expected the 'secret weapon' to be right behind them, but when she checked, it wasn't there.
"Huh boy, not again", Amy mumbled under her breath. Amy looked over to the doughnut shop and saw the 'secret weapon' eating some glazed doughnuts.
Amy started walking over to the doughnut shop. She went in and grabbed Quartz but for a small chao, she was pretty strong. Amy tried to drag Quartz out of the shop but not before Quartz grabbed onto things and everything fell over. And it also didn't help Quartz was screaming bloody murder.
People walking on sidewalks stopped to stare at the scene Amy and Quartz were making. Even Sonic and the rest of his friends stared. Then Espio nudged Vector.
"This reminds me of the time we tried to take sugar away from Charmy." Vector merely chuckled, but Charmy got an irritated look on his face.
"Yeah, well what about Vector, huh? He whined about his batteries going dead for hours! And after the first hour he got new batteries but he wouldn't let it go that he suffered a tragic loss." That's when Julia butt-in.
"Hey!" She snarled at Charmy. "Batteries going dead in your CD player is a verybad thing! I 'member one time I was listening to my favorite Elton John song and then the batteries suddenly went dead! It was a flippin' tragedy!"
The whole Chaotix stared at her like she was some mental person, but Vector grinned at her. He then pointed to her and said,
"At least someone understands my pain!" Julia was about to reply until Amy finally made it over to them with Quartz at hand.
"Introducing the 'secret weapon', Quartz the Hero Chao", Michelle said in a bold kind-of voice, or at least attempted to. Everybody stared incredulously at the little hero chao until Espio started laughing uncontrollably. The Chaotic stared at him and shook their head. He didn't even know what he was laughing at. Quartz started to cry.
Michelle took notice of this and glowered at Espio. He opened his eyes a little and immediately stopped. She had a mean glare. Although for some strange reason, he thought she looked cute mad.
"Uh, I'm very sorry", Espio tried to apologize, but it came out shaky since he was getting a little intimidated by her. "But it's just a chao." Michelle rose a brow at him.
"And that's supposed to mean what? Her name actually means what she does. And what I mean is she searches for gems. Just like your name means something like a spy, or a detective."
Espio got a small look of shock on his face. "It does?" Michelle shrugged. She was no longer angry at him.
"Well, not really but is your nickname Espy?" Espio got annoyed at that name. Vector, Charmy and Shadow teased him about that every time he looked at a cute girl. They always said something like "Aww, is wittle Espy in luuuve?" He nodded at Michelle.
"Well, there ya go! Espy means those things I just told you." Espio just stood still, and muttered the word wow to himself. Amy then told Quartz to go find the Chaos Emerald. The hero chao nodded then started flying wildly in each direction on the beach, sniffing every inch of it. The whole Chaotic sweat dropped. (A/N: Anime style again!)
"Well… I never said she was serious about it." Michelle muttered. Quartz dove into the water, causing waves from her wild swimming. She continued this for several minutes until she stopped and went deeper under water. When she came back up to the surface, she held a light purple Chaos Emerald in her hands.
"The Chaos Emerald", Tails yelled excitedly. Espio nudged Michelle. She looked over at him with a questioning look.
"Sorry for laughing about your chao." Michelle held her hand up in defeat.
"Nah, it's really my fault. I shouldn't have got so mad. But I'll forgive you anyway." She said with a satisfied smile. Espio returned the smile.
"Ditto", He replied, flirting with her a little. Shadow noticed this and nudged Vector. Vector grinned evilly and rubbed his hands together. He was going to mention THIS to him when the Chaotic left.
Quartz swam to the shore and got picked up by Amy. Amy yanked it off of Quartz when she noticed the little chao nibbling it. Quartz gave Amy a thoughtful look until the look turned into a sulking look.
"Chao", which meant "Darn". Amy pointed a finger threateningly at Quartz.
"Hey, watch it buddy." Amy playfully warned Quartz but ended up petting her on her head with two fingers because she still had the Chaos Emerald at hand. Amy walked over to Tails and handed it to him. Tails responded to them by thanking them.
"Thanks!" Julia smiled but then went 'ahem'. Amy got what she was hinting. She then held out her hand to Sonic. He got a weird look like she wanted to hold his hand or something. She rolled her eyes and rubbed her thumb and two fingers together like a bellboy hinting for a tip, which was exactly what she was hinting for.
Sonic grabbed Amy's hand in his hands and held them. "Why not let me slide since you have a big crush on me?" Sonic said, with one of his cocky smiles she used to admire… but not anymore.
Amy pulled her hand out of his, which shocked him a little because one year ago, she would have gone wild over that. She put her free hand on her hip and said, "Look Sonic, just pay and don't try to get out of it with a cocky smile and a wink."
Sonic was still a little shocked, but he got the twenty dollars and gave it to her. It was all in five dollar bills, so Amy counted it just to make sure nothing was missing. She then handed the rest of her team a five dollar bill, including herself and Quartz who said she was going to buy more doughnuts later.
Before they left, Vector walked up to Julia and asked, "How 'bout a date sometime babe?" She looked thoughtful for a moment they said,
"Nah." Vector drooped into sadness until she said, "How about a cup of coffee tomorrow?" Julia smiled at the look of shock on his face. He was still taking in what just happened. A GIRL was asking HIM?
Vector suddenly brightened up. "Starbucks?"
"I'll be waitin' for ya!" She then caught up with the rest of her team and they back to their office. Vector felt really lightheaded and nearly passed-out before Shadow and Espio ran over to catch him.
Sonic watched Amy and the rest of them go, but he kept his eye on Amy the whole way. Finally he noticed she didn't have her normal dress on. Or those clothes one year ago. He snapped out of his thoughts when Cream put her hand on his shoulder.
"Is everything okay Mister Sonic?"
"Yeah… everything's fine. I gotta go." Sonic waved bye to everyone and sped off in the distance. Thoughts were running in his head the whole way.
'Why do I care that she did that? I'm Sonic the Hedgehog! I don't have a care in the world. Or maybe I… nah, it's probably nothing.'
Sonic stopped running and sat down right where he was. He was at the Mystic Ruins somewhere in a forest. He then imagined Amy's cute face with her pretty green eyes…
"WHOA! What the heck am I thinking about!" He shouted to no one in particular. Sonic started sweating cold sweat. He couldn't shake this thought he was having.
'Do I… like Amy?'
HSB: Sorry to leave ya hangin', but so did ya like it?
Chocola: I'm not sure… Vector got a date!
HSB: So?
Chocola: That goes against the rules of nature!
HSB: 'shrugs' So do you, but you don't see me complaining.
Chocola: I own nature! You don't do that to MY nature!
HSB: Ahem… 'points behind Chocola'
Chocola: 'looks behind himself and his eyes get bigger than anything'
Mother Nature: Care to REPEAT that little comment? 'cracks knuckles'
HSB: 'turns to people reading' Boy, we just love to make the supernatural try to kill us! Well review now please 'cause this could get ugly! See ya!
