Chapter 1: The first (but last) anniversary

A beautiful morning of June, Amy Rose woke up happy in her bed, next to her loved Sonic, who was still sleeping. She got up, cooked a rich and tasty breakfast and took it in the bedroom. With a kiss on the cheek, she woke up Sonic that for some seconds hoped to be in the other bedroom. Smiling falsely to his girlfriend, Sonic sat up on the bed and started eating under the dreamy look of Amy.

Dreaming, Amy remembered the day of her marriage with Sonic. She has waited for that for about two years and finally her dream became reality a year ago. Exact, that morning, 23rd June, was the first anniversary of their happy marriage. At least, it was what she believed...

Sonic remembered her of their anniversary and Amy was radiant with joy about this. She spent all the morning preparing her for their date. In fact, Sonic promised her to go to the most romantic and chic restaurant of the city: "The Red Rose".

Amy chose the best dress she had and the shoes with the high-heels. She put her make-up and arranged her quills. Blinded with love and happiness, she didn't notice that Sonic hadn't worn proper clothes for the date.

Amy was surprised to find a battered Fiat 500 waiting for her in front of the house. Sonic reached her and stared falsely proud at the crock. He even thought that he'd paid too much to rent it.

However, Sonic didn't make sure to open the car's door for Amy, who was still waiting for him to do it. When she saw Sonic turning the car on, she decided to enter in the car, but when she opened the door, it fell on the ground leaving Amy with wide eyes.

Arrived to the "Red Rose", Sonic remembered that he'd forgot to book and they couldn't enter. Amy, who was about to cry, smiled nervously and proposed to find another place.

Sonic winked at her, and with a large smirk, took Amy in another "romantic place": his favorite fast food. Amy saw it and thought it was a joke, but at the end she had to come in, with the looks of everybody left on her attire.

Sonic ordered two chilidogs for him and Amy and a coke. Amy, though she loved crazily her husband, admitted that that wasn't the kind of place where she hoped to spend a "romantic day".

After the meal, Amy proposed to go to the cinema to see a romantic movie: In Love. Sonic nodded. They come back to the door-less 500, but Sonic drove to the wrong cinema and they finished in an old wreck. Amy sighed desperate, but tried to smile since she was with her lover. Sonic took her to see a horror movie and she cried like there was no tomorrow.

In the evening, they came back home with their crock-car. Amy had hired a romantic movie and after dinner proposed Sonic to see it. But he refused, 'cause he was tired and wanted to go to bed early. Amy decided to follow him.

To bed, Sonic pretended to fall asleep quickly, while Amy was desperately trying to find the good side of the day.

At midnight, Sonic got up and put something on without wake up his wife. Then, he took his keys and went out.

The streets were desert at that time, except for some drunks. About ten minutes later, he reached a gray building. He took the stairs and went to the fifth floor. He stopped by a green door with the number fourteen painted on it. He knocked quietly on the door, so he was sure not to wake up other people, and waited. When the door opened, he smiled and a voice echoed through the corridor.

"Finally...I was waiting for you."
