It was now morning, and Amy said her goodbyes to Cream and Cheese, as well as Vanilla. She seemed to be in a happy mood as she walked home, gently swaying her head side to side as she hummed no particular tune. Although the sun was shining brightly, as it usually did in the summer, the cooling winds mixed with the warmth of the sun, creating a perfect blend.
The sun warmed up her cheeks as the wind sent chills down her back. When she finally made her way home, she noticed that the vase was moved a few inches from it's original position. She figured Sonic came back home and slept over. Amy quietly opened the front door of her house and tiptoed inside. She scanned the living room, and discovered a blue hedgehog sprawled across the couch, silently snoring. The scene was quite funny. Sonic's mouth was wide open as he drooled all over her pillows, half of his body has hanging off of the sofa. He looked as if he just flopped there and instantly fell asleep from exhaustion. The pink hedgehog giggled, and slowly walked over to her friend. She grabbed his shoulder and gently shook him awake.
"..Sooniicc, wake upp.." she cooed. After a few shakes, Sonic's eyes slowly opened. He stared at Amy for a second before rubbing his eyes and sitting up, yawning."Ahhh….morningg.." he mumbled. Amy giggled, and hung up her purse."Soo, how was your run? You seem really tired!" she asked. Sonic sighed, and stood up, stretching his arms again.
"Ahh…whelp, it was okay…I guess…I thought a lot about what you said last night…being creative and all.." he replied in a groggy voice. Amy glanced at him for a moment while she was getting some pancake mix out for breakfast."Oh?" she replied, pouring the pancake mix onto the sizzling pan.
Sonic tiredly made his way over to the small dining table by Amy's kitchen, and spun around on a pink swiveling chair."Uh-huh, annd, I think I might have something to do this summer!" he explained. Amy walked over to Sonic and set a plate of three large pancakes stacked up and strawberries on the side, she also set a cup of orange juice next to it."Really? What is it?" Sonic smiled and reached over to the syrup in front of him.
"Well, while I was running last night, I saw some sort of…shooting star..But, it wasn't a shooting star, it looked like something was falling from the sky as it came closer. I tried looking in the city park for it last night, but it was too dark.." Sonic said as he drizzled syrup over the stack of pancakes. Amy set down a small plate of fried eggs and toast and pulled up a chair in front of Sonic."Really?" she asked."What do you think it was?"
Sonic shrugged his shoulders as he stuffed a piece of pancake in his mouth. "I dunno, but dere's 'ony one way to fin' out.." his words were muffled as he tried to talk with his mouth full. Amy giggled, and didn't miss the opportunity to nitpick on his table manners. Sonic playfully rolled his eyes, and stood up to clean his now empty plate. Amy was still sitting at the table, eating her food and wondering how in the world he was able to eat so quickly.
"Well, I think that'll be fun! I'd like to come with you, but, I have a knitting circle at noon in the library downtown.." she admitted. Sonic gave her a weird look.
"You know, you're into the most random things.." he laughed. Amy shot a perplexed look at Sonic, but laughed with him anyways. The two stared at each other and smiled for a brief moment, until Sonic broke the silence as he quickly stretched out his legs.
"Whelp, I'm gonna head out now!"
"Tell me what you find!" Amy called as Sonic dashed away.
The blue blur decided to go on his usual morning run, except his final destination would be the city park instead of a random secluded spot among the mountains. Sonic finally made his way to the city park, and dashed straight towards the hiking trail.
Thanks to the bright summer sun, he could finally see where he was going as he made his way through the trees, trying not to be seen. He finally reached the clearing. Sonic stood in the middle of the clearing, looking around for anything. Something.
"Hmm…come on, there has to be something.." he mumbled, walking around and searching through the bushes and trees like he did last night, he was relieved that he could finally see what he was doing. Yet, the light didn't seem to make a difference. Sonic STILL couldn't find anything that resembled what he saw the night before.
As Sonic searched deeper past the clearing and into the trees. There just had to be something there. He knew he couldn't have imagined what he saw. So he trudged on.
After what seemed like forever, Sonic finally stumbled on something. A cave."Huh?" he said, stared perplexedly into the darkness."I've never seen this before.." Sonic walked towards the boulders, inching closer to the Tornado sized opening. (Tornado as in, the plane) The blue blur was about to step inside the cave when he heard a rustle behind him. He glanced behind him, scanning the bushes with his emerald green eyes. He waited a moment, and figured the noise was a small woodland creature passing by. He shrugged his shoulders, and went to step inside the cave.
"Ouch!"
Sonic looked up again. He could have sworn he heard a voice. He heard the rustles again; he finally realized that they were footsteps coming his way."Darn it! Someone must have followed me!" he mumbled as he cautiously looked around. The footsteps got louder and louder, Sonic stared at a pair of large bushes behind him. They started to shake. Sonic took a step backwards, getting ready to attack if it were something dangerous. The bushes shook harder and started to part. Sonic balled up his fists, and finally, the bushes were pushed apart to reveal a girl carrying a green backpack.
"Geez, these stupid bushes are always getting in the wa-" the girl looked up, and saw Sonic standing in front of her in a battle position. Sonic realized that she wasn't any danger, and let his arms flop down."Oh…it's just a girl.." he muttered. The little girl was a pink hedgehog. She had the same spiky quills on the back of her head as Sonic's, except she had one extra one on the top. Three bangs stuck out of her forehead, the bottom one was slicked back, like a cowlick. (imagine Rosy's bangs) Her ears were a bit large, and the inside was the same peachy color as her muzzle and arms. She was wearing a short red dress with ruffles at the bottom and a white belt around her waist with a gold buckle. She wore white gloves with golden rings around her wrists, and red and white shoes. Her eyes were the same bright emerald as Sonic's, but to him, she oddly resembled Amy a lot. Except, she was slightly shorter then his pink friend.
The little girl froze in place as she stared at Sonic with wide eyes. Her mouth hung open. Sonic awkwardly stared back. After an awkward staring contest that lasted for far too long, Sonic broke the silence."U-um…hi!" he said in a friendly tone. The girl finally snapped out of her trance, and closed her mouth and gulped."Huh?! Oh! Um..I..uh..I-I..One second!" she exclaimed, turning away. Sonic gave her a weird stare.
The girl paced around, mumbling to herself. Sonic casually looked around, crossing his arms and tapping his feet. The little girl finally turned to face him again."Are..are you Sonic the Hedgehog?!" she asked. Sonic looked down at the young girl, and wore a confident smile.
"Well, yes, the one and only!" he boasted. The pink hedgehog gasped, and suddenly threw her arms around Sonic's waist, hugging him very tightly."I can't believe it! It's really you!" she cried. Sonic froze up. He knew this crushing feeling all too well. The blue hedgehog gently pried the girl off of him, and scratched the back of his head."Uh…yeah! It's me, hehe.." he chuckled awkwardly. The girl bounced on her heels and beamed at him. Sonic looked shocked. She reminded him so much of Amy.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to find you! I never thought I finally would! This is the greatest moment ever!" she squealed, almost teary-eyed. Sonic weakly smiled, and blushed in embarrassment as she acted as if he were a major celebrity."Gee, that's…really flattering..heh..so, do want an autograph or a pictur-"
"Pssh, no! Haha, you crack me up!" the girl laughed as she walked towards the cave. Sonic gave her a perplexed look."O-oh.." he muttered, even more embarrassed. He watched as she stepped inside."Um…where are you going?" he asked, following her. The girl immediately stepped out and placed a hand on his chest, blocking him from going inside. She was holding an empty gas can that seemed to be able to hold a gallon. She smiled at him."Just getting a refill! You know, I could use some help!" she suggested. Sonic thought for a moment, and decided he might as well, she didn't look like she would be able to hold all of that gas and her backpack, although he had no idea why she needed it. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Great!" she tossed the gas can to him, and grabbed her bag."Come on! Let's go, there's so much I want to ask you!" she said as she grabbed his hand. Sonic stumbled a bit as she pulled him forward. He had to admit, she was really quick on her feet, nothing close to how fast he was, but, still pretty quick. He finally gained his balance, and ran by her side.
"S-so, um…I didn't quite catch your name." he said curiously as they made their way back to the clearing. The girl looked back at him, and grinned."Oh! I'm sorry!" She stopped running, and held out her hand to introduce herself.
"I'm Primrose! But, you can call me Prim for short!"
Sonic looked at her hand for a moment, and smiled. His suspicions were forgotten as he glanced at the cute little smile on her face. She seemed like a pretty cool girl to him. He reached out and gently shook it.
"Nice to meet you, Prim!"
