[CHAPTER 3: AMY]
Rouge, Tails and Amy were walking through the city.
'Where are we going?' asked Tails.
'I need to get some makeup,' said Amy.
*She's pretty without makeup,* thought Tails.
'You have too much makeup,' said Rouge. 'A pity Sonic and Knux are out doing something.'
'What are they doing?' asked Amy.
'Why would I know? Sonic just told me to look after Tails.'
'I should be old enough to stay in his apartment by myself,' said Tails.
'Sonic doesn't trust you,' said Rouge. 'He probably thinks you'll end up stuck to the roof like that time when -'
'Let's not go there,' said Tails.
'Okay then,' said Rouge.
They continued walking.
'You do know I was joking about Sonic not trusting you, right?'
'Yeah,' said Tails.
'Hey look!' said Amy. 'There's a carnival on!' She pointed to a poster.
'Cool,' said Rouge. 'It's on this weekend.'
=============================================================
'And it's on this weekend,' said Rouge.
Rouge, Amy and Tails had met Sonic and Knuckles at the lake in the middle of Emerald Forest, and were telling them about the carnival.
'Let's all go as a group,' said Knuckles. 'Me, you, Sonic, Amy, Tails and Rouge.'
'What about me?' said Shadow, stepping out from the darkness of the trees.
Sonic was about to say something, but Rouge stared at him, so he kept quiet.
'Can Shadow come?' said Tails. 'Please?'
Rouge looked at Tails, then Sonic, then back at Tails. 'Yeah, sure.'
Sonic held back a punch.
=============================================================
That Thursday, Amy was sitting in her apartment on the couch. 'Should I call him, or shouldn't I?'
She sat there for a while thinking, then picked up the phone and dialled Sonic's number.
'Hello?' said Sonic.
'Hi, it's me Amy,' said Amy. 'No! Don't hang up! This is important!'
'What do you want?'
'I saw you and Rouge the other day,' said Amy.
'And?'
'You two were kissing!'
'What?' said Sonic.
'I walked past Rouge's house, and saw you and her *kissing*!'
'We didn't kiss, Amy,' said Sonic.
'But I saw you! It was obvious -'
'Amy, you sure you weren't stoned when you walked past?'
'SONIC! I'M BEING SERIOUS HERE!'
'But me and Rouge *didn't* kiss!' Sonic protested.
'But I saw you -'
Sonic hung up.
Amy growled. 'He always does that!'
=============================================================
'Sonic, I think you're being a bit hard on Shadow -'
'You don't get it, do you Knux?' said Sonic.
'No, I don't get it,' said Knuckles. 'What has Shadow ever done to you to deserve -'
'What has Shadow ever done to me? *What has Shadow -'
'And why do you hate Amy so much?' asked Knuckles.
'Don't get me started on Amy,' said Sonic.
'Why not?'
'She is so *annoying*!'
'I can understand that, but she likes you! She likes you a lot!'
'Why don't *you* go out with her then?' said Sonic.
'No!'
'Then why should I go out with her?'
'You don't get it,' said Knuckles. 'I can't go out with her because I don't like her and Rouge is my girlfriend.'
'But I don't like her either!'
'Hey Sonic, hey Knux,' said Tails.
'What's up, Tails?' said Knuckles.
'I just thought I'd tell Sonic that Amy's coming,' said Tails. 'She's looking for you.'
Sonic sped off into the distance.
'Well, I gotta go,' said Tails. 'See you round, Knux!'
Knuckles looked over to see the emeralds were still where they were supposed to be, and looked up to find Amy running over.
'Have you seen Sonikku lately?' said Amy.
*I know I'm going to regret this,* thought Knuckles. 'Nope, sorry.'
'Okay then. Bye bye!' Amy ran off.
'Thank God she didn't hang around,' said Knuckles.
Rouge flew overhead, then landed. 'Hello Knuckles,' she said.
'How long have you been flying up there for?' he asked.
'About ten minutes,' Rouge replied. 'Watching Sonic run from Amy is good entertainment.'
Knuckles laughed. 'You're that bored?'
'It's better than sitting around guarding shiny diamonds,' said Rouge.
'They're emeralds.'
'I know that.' Rouge smiled seductively again. 'So, do you want to hang out tonight?'
'Sure,' said Knuckles. 'Better than sitting around guarding shiny diamonds.'
=============================================================
'Why are you running away from Amy?' asked Tails as they walked through the city.
'Because,' said Sonic.
'Come on,' said Tails. 'I know it's more than usual. You have a reason for running, don't you?'
Sonic sighed. 'She thinks me and Rouge kissed.'
Tails was silent for a moment. 'You didn't, did you?'
'No, of course not,' said Sonic. 'But try telling that to a stubborn thirteen-year-old who has a crush on you.'
Tails sighed. *I wish she had a crush on me.*
'I know,' said Sonic. 'It's not easy running from her.'
'Huh?'
'I was just saying -' Suddenly Sonic stopped. Tails looked at him, then noticed he was watching something else. Tails turned around, and saw what Sonic saw.
'Isn't that Shadow?'
'Yep,' said Sonic. They watched as Shadow looked around, as if he was scanning for anyone who was watching. 'That's strange...'
