What did he mean, he didn't need protecting?
He didn't want to be friends with me...?
Sonic stared after Shadow's shadow (LOL HELP ME) as he skated off into the distance. Disrupting him was a familiar voice.
"Hey, Sonic." A chirpy pink hedgehog exclaimed, snapping Sonic out of his bewildered state. "What you doing?"
"Oh, uh... Hey, Amy. I um, I'm just, well, hanging out, you know."
"Alone?" Amy asked, confused.
"Y-yeah, that's right. Alone. Me myself and I... I am the best after all, why waste my time with anyone who can't match me?" Sonic laughed and closed his eyes, walking past her with a smirk. "Heh. Later, Ames."
"Wait, Sonic. There's something important you need to know."
Sonic spun around and looked at her. Something told him it wasn't the typical, "Please would you just take me to the movies one time?", or, "I wrote you a letter", or, "why do you always deny your feelings for me?". No, this time she was being genuine, and real - and actually attempting to get through to him. Just like the time when she lectured him on not being heroic enough... She did have good intentions after all. She sure was a good friend.
Sonic sighed. "Sure, Amy. What's up?"
Amy looked at him sincerely. "You need to be careful, Sonic. Watch your back." Their eyes stayed in contact for a few seconds, as they both tried to read each others minds.
What on earth does she mean? Is she going to hurt me...?
Does he know what I'm referring to? I don't know if he's even seen Shadow today...
"Just - be careful who you open up to. I've never seen you open up to anyone, but I'd hate to see you do it to the wrong person. The last thing you need is to be hurt."
The last thing I need?! What is this girl on about?
Sonic gritted his teeth and became enraged. What on earth gave her the idea that he was on the tip of the iceberg, as if he was only just being held together?
Amy put her hands on her hips and turned her little nose up, rolling her eyes. "Come on, now. Don't act like you haven't been underperforming lately. Your attacks are weaker. You run slower and you have less energy than usual. Everyone's worried about you and that's what I mean when I say, the last thing you need, is to be back stabbed by someone you think you can trust."
Wow. Hes actually listening to me for once.
Wow, I have no idea what she is referring to. But, it's good advice at least - for someone who is going through what she is hallucinating that I am!
"Ha, sure. Catch ya later, Amy!" Sonic shouted as he dashed off, in the same direction that Shadow left. He had one goal and it was to pursue his curiousity toward him.
He was blinded, and he was oblivious, of course. He had clearly forgotten who Shadow actually was. He had clearly forgotten that someone like Shadow never had good intentions, at least, not unless it benefitted himself as well.
But that's what love does...
It cuts out all sense.
