"HELLO EVERYBODY! I'm Amy the Hedgehog and I am your guest host this week! Hopefully, this will be my great debut and maybe I can go on to bigger things! As usual, my friend, Kaoru of Kaoru's Toyland has come up with a wonderful new idea!"
Amy walked across the stage as she continued talking. "Just to prove how much I guarantee this new toy, Kaoru called me to her bedside at the hospital and told me all about the toy, and I offered to approve it!" She stopped at the edge of the stage where Cream handed her a pink box covered in red hearts. "So this week, I am happy to present. Amy Approved: Love Potion!"
"This love potion can make your love fall in love with you. All you have to do is get your love to take one sip and BAM! they are hooked on you like a fish to a...Well, a hook."
Amy picked up the box and eagerly ripped it open, pulling out three small bottles filled with a strange liquid, a beaker, and a bottle of shampoo. She set them up on the table behind her and pulled out an instruction manual. "Congratulations! If you are reading this, then you have bought Kaoru's Toyland's new toy Amy Approved: Love Potion for the small, small price of 53,488,733,234 broken hearts. In this box you should have found three ingredients, a beaker, and a nondescript bottle.
"This bottle only takes three easy steps to make. Step one: Mix the three ingredients together. The ingredient in the pink bottle is liquefied passionflower. We use this ingredient because it acts as a slight sedative and will relieve nerves and anxieties which will help your love relax and be more accepting to a love...Wow, Kaoru sure did but research into this...Caution this ingredient is naturally hot and will require gloves to hold...Gloves?" Amy looked into the box and found a pair of gloves and some goggles. "Ooh!"
Amy put on both the gloves and the goggles. She poured the contents of the pink bottle into the beaker and picked up the instructions again. "The ingredient in the blue bottle is Vanilla. We decided to use vanilla in our potion because Vanilla brings about pleasant memories in a person. It softens their emotions and makes a person more caring. Vanilla has also been known to increase cough desire in a person. For this reason, only 3/4 of this bottle should be poured in with the potion. The rest should be used as a shampoo in the giver's hair so that the potion and receiver will act to the proper giver."
Amy gave a broad smile to the camera and poured most of the bottle into the beaker, capping off the rest so that she could use it later as the instructions said. "The third and final ingredient is strawberry juice. The strawberry juice will turn your potion red which is a powerful and passionate color. Strawberries are a symbol of sensuality and earthly desire, making it perfect for our love potion. Their shape of a heart is perfect for our potion because it personifies love and will make the potion stronger, and lastly, strawberries help enhance beauty so by the receiver drinking this, the receiver will notice all of the giver's natural beauty."
Amy poured in the last ingredient and looked into the box where she found a small stir stick. "Step two: Use the vanilla as soap and shampoo the shower before you give the potion...Easy enough." Amy capped the potion as she continued talking. "Refrigerate potion for five to fifteen minutes." Amy nodded and put the potion in a small drawstring bag. "Step three: Pour potion into nondescript bottle and give to your love. The potion does not need to be drunk to be put into effect. It only needs to come into contact with skin, though drinking the potion will make it at three to twenty times stronger.
"Now that you have seen the beauty of this product, let's have a look at some of our happy customers!"
Kaoru comes on screen and is leaning over the window sill of her third story hospital window. She has a head bandage, an arm cast, and a leg cast. "Kaoru, we're on," the camera man says.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Kaoru waves a hand over her shoulder, ignoring the camera man.
"Aren't you going to talk to us?"
"Depends, what do you want to talk about?" Kaoru leaned a little further over the window sill.
"Well, one, try not to fall out of the window. You are just about healed and you don't need another accident. Two, you asked us to come here for the happy customer video and no where else. Why did you ask us to come here, and why are you leaning out of the window?"
Kaoru laughed loudly, "Take a look for yourself..."
The cameraman, and camera, approached the window as Kaoru stepped out of the way. The camera went over the window and was pointed at the ground below. A mass of people were huddled on the ground below her window. There were people playing guitars, a lot carrying flowers, and other random cliché lovey-dovey things. "What the biscuit is going on down there?"
Kaoru laughed, slightly embarrassed and rubbed the back of her neck nervously, "You see...This was the first product I've made since getting hurt. All the other ones that have been made since the accident have been things they found in my old files of rejected ideas. The crew dug them up and found someone to build the toys using my notes. I wanted to make sure this came out well, so I used a lot of test subjects, and here are the results."
"All of this is from the potion? When will it wear off?"
"Well, I never found that out. I gave the potion to them two weeks ago. I didn't have time to see how it would work or when it would wear off or if it affected different people differently. So far there has only been one abnormality, I haven't found out what makes this one test subject different though."
"Doesn't that seem a little irresponsible?"
"Psh, what do any of you know about irresponsibility," Kaoru scoffed, and then laughed loudly.
"One last question," the camera man said, "What is he doing here?" The camera swiveled and focused on Shadow, who was sitting in a chair with a serene smile on his face. He couldn't seem to take his eyes off of Kaoru.
Kaoru giggled, "Personal Gain?"
The camera snapped back to Amy who was engulfed in flames and yelling furiously at a terrified-looking Cream. "Why didn't anyone tell me!" She screamed.
"Well, Kaoru mentioned to us before that there was one abnormality, but she didn't say..."
"This is ridiculous!" Amy interrupted her.
"Ms. Amy, can you just finish the show, we can discuss this after. Please?"
"Fine!" Amy snatched the instruction manual from Cream, who promptly ran off stage. "Warning: This potion should only be made under 24 hours before being used. We are not responsible for the receiver throwing out the potion without using and or drinking it." Amy's eyes filled with fury as she read the next line, "This potion does not work on SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!" Amy made a loud screeching noise and ran off stage screaming, "I REFUSE TO APPROVE THIS POTION ANYMORE!"
Cream ran back on stage stood in front of the camera, "Please come by Kaoru's Toyland today and pick up your own Amy...approved?: Love Potion! Um...AMY!" Cream ran off stage and the screen went blank.
