A/N: okay. Are we all ready for this chapter? Lets get started shall we?

Chapter 2: How it all began

"Sonic! Sonic, wait up!" Sonic turned around to see a familiar pink hedgehog running towards him. "Aw man. Not again…" He sighed. This was the third time this week she had attempted to tackle him so he would listen to her. Of course every time she failed miserably. Sonic did the usual running away at top speed when Amy came around. As he left, a blue streak was seen behind him followed by a gust of wind blowing nothing but leaves all around the pink hedgehog he left behind.

"Oh Sonic," Amy sighed sadly, "That's all you ever give me. A blazing trail that only appears when I call your name…" Amy slowly walked home to her apartment in the city. It was always quiet around where she lived. Nothing ever happened there. Nor did the flood waters caused by Chaos reach that part of the city. As she approached her apartment, she saw Cream sitting on her stoop as if she was waiting for Amy to arrive.

"Did you talk to him this time?" Cream said.

"How did you know I went after him again?"

I just have my ways of knowing. And as your best friend, I just know you Amy." She put on a smile. There was a bit of silence until Cream repeated her question again.

"So, how did it go?" Amy sighed.

"Just like always. I'm telling you Cream, he doesn't like me let alone will he talk to me."

"You don't know that for sure Amy. I mean maybe he's just being a little shy." Amy smiled to her friend hearing this.

"Thanks Cream." She said opening the door and inviting her in. They climbed the flight of stairs that led to Amy's room. On the fourth flight, they stopped and knocked at room number 48. That was Rouge's room.

"What do you want?" she answered rudely.

"Uhh…Rouge, its Cream and Amy…" Amy said slowly.

"Oh! Sorry!" she said with a bit of a laugh. She unlocked her door and invited them in. "I thought you were someone else. They sat down on Rouge's peach colored sofa.

"How've you guys been?" Rouge asked casually. "You talk to Sonic lately?"

"Well…" Amy started, beginning to look sad. Rouge immediately knew what Amy was thinking of and quickly tried to comfort her.

"That hedgehog is so arrogant. He doesn't know what he's in for next time he sees me."

"Thanks Rouge." She said smiling again. Rouge picked up one of her amethyst jewels from her collection and examined it.

"I don't think it's you Amy. That's just how Sonic is. But none of us know him well enough to determine if he's hiding feelings for you or not. And if it's anyone who will find out, it'll be you." Rouge's words touched Amy and made her heart feel hope again.

"Here." Rouge said handing Amy her rather large jewel. "Amethyst represents a lot of things but the one it's most famous for is deep love. I want you to keep this safe in your room, okay?" Amy was a little stunned.

"But this is your favorite jewel. Are you sure?"

"I have another one she said getting up and walking over to her coffee table. She picked one up from next to a picture of Knuckles. Before Cream and Amy could see, Rouge quickly turned the picture down.

"What was that?" Cream asked.

"Uhh…just my other amethyst. See?" She said holding it up.

"Okay…well thanks a lot Rouge."

"Any time Amy." She said with a weak smile. She walked them to the door and locked it.

"That was almost too close for comfort." Rouge said walking in her bedroom and opened up her window allowing the warm summer breeze to play with her lavender curtains. She plopped on her bed taking out another picture of Knuckles from under her pillow and looked at it. "I hope I'm able to tell you how what's going on before I go mad." She said slowly putting it back.

Cream and Amy finally made it to the fifth floor. Amy took her key from out of her pink purse and unlocked her door.

"So do you want to do anything Cream? It's only 3:00…"

"Oh no. It's that late! Umm...I'm sorry Amy. I had made plans with Tai-…"

"What?"

"I…made plans at three. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright Cream. I'll see you later." Cream nodded and rushed out the door and down the flights of stairs. When she got outside she took to the air and headed towards Tails' workshop in the Mystic Ruins.

"My god I almost forgot. But the last thing Amy needs to know is her best friend is dating her love's best friend."

Amy closed her door and sat on her couch. "Everyone chooses to run out on me." She took the amethyst rouge gave her from out of her pocket. She looked at it just as Rouge did. "Deep love huh?" Amy took the jewel to her bedroom and put it on her night stand. The sun beams from her window hit it, making it shine and turning her room purple. She sighed as she laid on her bed with tears coming to her eyes.

"What is so wrong about me! I don't drink, I never smoke, I haven't had sex….Why the hell doesn't he listen me! Even enough to talk for two minutes!" Amy, now in tears was hugging her heart shaped pillow tightly. She looked around her room. Pictures and posters of Sonic were every where.

"I cant take this anymore. I love Sonic more than anything else. I value him more than my own life! And he still treats me like I'm nothing…like I don't even exist." She got up off her bed and began to take the posters off her wall. She carefully took each poster and picture and placed it in a box she pulled from out of her closet. She carefully closed the box and put it under her bed.

"My heart is the key element of my very existence." She paused, sighing, "I gave it to Sonic and he didn't except the only thing I had to be thankful for before I met him." Standing up and walking over to her window, she said quietly to herself, "The way I see it, I'm going to have to at least try to stop…stop loving you. The way you tease me with that sweet smile of yours, I just can't help but fall for it. But, if that means sacrificing my feelings, just waiting for them to be crushed…then this has got to stop."

"Damn it Tails! I can't take this anymore!"

"Someone had a bad day…" Tails said sarcastically. Being Sonic's room mate, he's gotten used to the fact that Sonic was almost never there. And when he was, it was either late at night, or he was in a bad mood.

"I swear, Amy has driven me to my limits. I don't know what's with her!" Tails put down the book he was reading.

"Maybe instead of you complaining to me, you should do something about it…" he said a little ticked off. Sonic glared at him. And after a pause he said,

"Don't you have to be somewhere?"

"Oh crap!" Tails said looking at his watch. "You're right! I was supposed to Cream at my workshop!" he ran upstairs, grabbed some money and shoved it in his pocket.

"I owe you money Sonic!" Tails said running out the door, leaving a very mad faced looking Sonic standing at the front door. He closed it and jumped on his couch. He felt for the remote and turned on the large sized television, falling asleep with it on. Hours later, he awoke. He stretched and yawned getting up.

"God, ever since Shadow defeated that doom creature, things around here have been pretty boring." He turned off the TV and went outside. 'All I need is another adventure.'

He thought.

Sonic walked all throughout Station Square until nightfall, and he stilled continued to walk. On the streets, his thoughts were never un-interrupted, for his many fans that were outside kept shouting, "Hey Sonic! How's it going?" or "Hey Sonic! What's wrong?" Sonic wasn't able to answer. He thought he needed action, but he really didn't know what was wrong after a short while.

After hours, he finally made his way to the park and sat down on one of the wooden benches. He looked around and saw that nobody was there. The only thing that could be seen or heard was the soft chirps of the crickets that lingered in the park at night. And the small rabbits and flickies that wondered around the patches of flowers. He walked over to it and gazed at the sight. The flowers were white and the light of the full moon made them glow just like it. He turned to go but something caught his eye. From the many white flowers, a ruby red rose stood out of the bunch.

"Amy…" he said picking it up. He started walking back home, keeping the rose he picked. "Maybe I should try to treat you a little better, Amy. Too many times…I think I was a too rough on you. And now that I think about it, it's like I'm getting mad over you liking me…that's selfish."

Under the full moon, the lonely blue hedgehog walked home feeling the emotions he rarely felt, sadness and confusion. Confusion the most though. He usually went around doing things and going places without thinking because he didn't have to. Sonic wasn't sure what he was thinking now. There was also one more feeling he felt that was very, very un-familiar. Little did he know, it was a feeling for Amy. Unaware that his heart wanted to be with her, his mind didn't want to for some reason.

"I don't think I like her. There was that one time, years ago…but I don't like her. I just can't. That doesn't mean I should treat her like I do though…" Sonic then finished his walk home with a dash, keeping the rose safe from the intensity of his speed. When he got home, Tails was already there. Sonic greeted him when he came in.

"How'd your date go with Cream?"

"Ah, it was alright." He said blushing a bit. Tails looked at Sonic's rose. "Did you go on one?"

"No."

"Then what's with the rose?"

"Nothing." Sonic said getting ticked off again. He started to head upstairs. Tails smirked.

"Are you giving it to Am-"

"No!" Sonic said cutting him off.

"Well sorry!" Tails said. "I was just kidding."

"It's alright. I'm going upstairs. Night buddy." Tails smiled at him and he went upstairs. Tails sat on the couch and picked up his book.

"He's finally realized he likes her." He said smiling to himself. Upstairs, Sonic put his rose in a beautiful crystal vase and put it on his nightstand. Sonic's room was fairly big. He received money from the government under the President's orders monthly because of how many times he rescued the world from being in turmoil. A few of the others did too for helping him. Sonic was built a large house for free and didn't have to pay bills as long as he lived in Station Square, near the President.

Sonic took a shower and laid on his bed. From there, he could see the whole city from out of his window. It was a very pretty sight. All of the tall buildings and the full moon above it all. He sighed.

"How can thinking of one person make you feel a certain way for hours? And why am I just now beginning to feel guilt?"

After hours of thoughts and memories running through his mind, Sonic fell asleep hoping to dream dreams of happiness.

A/N: I know it was a very, very, very corny chapter. And I hope I don't end up with another one like this cause I think it was just awful. I did have to rush it though so I hope that's the only problem. REVIEW!
