Sonic woke with a headache. "Ugh…" Sonic remembered the robot, and he quickly looked around his small little home. Nothing, and this worried Sonic until he saw the note. He walked up to it and read it aloud. "Dear Sonic…" He voice trailed off as he read it. He smiled as he crumpled it up and threw it away. "Tails, he is a good kid, always caring about me." Sonic said as he walked over to a table with a strange looking watch on it. He smiled when he remembered what it was.

It was a wrist communicator Tails had made for him. He picked it up and dialed the number, 1. He waited for Tails' face to appear on the small screen, but it said in red letters. "Signal lost…" Sonic was confused. Tails had the best communication… that was odd. Sonic guessed it was poor signal from the place he went. His communicator, nicknamed the 'Codec', rang. He saw Amy's number appear.

He clicked the answer button and saw a mad Amy. "Sonic! Where have you been? I've been calling you for an hour, our date started 5 minutes ago!" Amy yelled. "Look, I- did you say our date started 5 minutes ago? Crap, I'll get there as soon as possible." Sonic said as he placed the codec on his wrist and ran outside, until he realized he had no idea where Amy was. He stopped and punched Amy's number.

"What?" She asked as Sonic scratched the back of his head. "Uh, where is our date?" Sonic asked as Amy sighed. "You know that fancy restaurant, the one that has that spaghetti with the special sauce?" Sonic nodded. "Yea, the one next to the large shopping mall." "Yea, that's were our date is… and I'm still waiting." She said as Sonic ended the transmission and ran towards the date.

When he arrived, he was surprised to see Amy in a silky red dress, Sonic thought she was beautiful. "Sorry Ames, I was unconscious… a bad-nick came an-" Amy cut him off. "Look, I just want to get through with this date, I'm already steamed at you." She said as she walked inside. Sonic scratched his head again.

"Well geez… if you would let me tell you." "What was that?" Amy asked as Sonic's eyes widened. "N-Nothing dear." He rushed to Amy's side as she talked to the man at the counter, you know, the one with the list of people who have made reservations. Sonic thought he'd call Tails again. For a minute he waited and tried to contact Tails. Still no answer.

"Huh, wonder why Tails hasn't answered." Sonic asked himself as Amy tugged him towards a table. She sat him down and sat across from him. Amy stared at Sonic, making the blue blur feel awkward. Sonic looked down at his codec. The screen was a deep black.

Sonic looked up to see Amy, still staring at him. "Uh, can I help you Amy?" Sonic said as Amy shook her head. "Nope, I want to look at you." She said with a sigh. Suddenly, Sonic's codec went off. He looked down and saw Tail's number on the screen. Sonic didn't know why, but his heart leapt with joy.

"Hello?" He asked as Tails' voice came on the speakers. The screen was static. "Sonic, can you go someplace… more secret?" Tails asked as Sonic blinked. "Uh, why?" "I have to tell you something important." Tails said as Sonic looked at Amy. She sighed and motioned him to do so. Sonic got out of the restaurant and walked into a deserted alley. "So what's up Tails?" Sonic asked as Tails started laughing. "Idiotic buffoon, I am not Tails…" The screen turned to normal and Sonic saw the same bad-nick that smashed him through the brick wall earlier.

"You! What did you do to Tails!" He almost screamed as Metal Sonic changed his new voice box's tension. "He isn't dead… yet, MUHAHAHAHAHA!" Metal laughed in his new deeper voice that somewhat frightened Sonic. "Where are you? Give me Tails back!" Sonic yelled as Metal's head went down and his arms crossed. "What about your date with that woman?" Metal said as Sonic realized what he was getting at.

"Dang you! You're going to make me choose between Amy and Tails!" Sonic watched as Metal laughed and moved out of the camera's view. Sonic gasped when he saw Tails chained up and hanging over a pit of molten metal. "You have exactly 5 minutes before I drop him in this, and I'm sure you don't want to lose your best friend. We're at the crematory in the deep forest of Mobius. I hope you can decide who you chose, Amy or Tails.

Metal ended the transmission and Sonic was about to rush off, but heard Amy calling him. "Crap!" Sonic ran out of the alley and came face to face with Amy. Sonic managed to stop an inch before collision. "What did Tails need?" Amy asked. Sonic decided not to tell her about the robot that had taken him hostage. She would surly make a huge, unnecessary fuss about it.

"Uh, he needed me to…to get him some milk, yea…. Tails likes milk." Sonic said as he tried to get away from Amy, but she grabbed his gloved hand. "Later, Sonic… the waiter is waiting for us." She chuckled at the pun. Sonic was placed in his seat, but he was jittery. "What will you have miss?" He asked as she told him, "A salad, I want to look good for my Snookum. The waited turned to Sonic, but he was gone.

Sonic was speeding down the streets and didn't stop until he arrived at the place Metal had said he was at. Sonic walked in and saw Tails shaking in the chains. "Tails!" Sonic said as he jumped on the chains and pulled them off his little friend. Sonic started to fall, but Tails caught him and flew up.

Sonic smiled, but it faded when he heard a turbine engine's distinct, whirring. Sonic turned and saw Metal flying at Sonic. Sonic was smashed into the metallic walls of the building. "Whoa, you're fast," Sonic as he got up. "But I'm faster." Sonic said as he started to spin-dash. Metal chuckled and raised his metallic fist. Tails gasped when he saw what was in it.

"Sonic! He has a chaos emerald!" Tails yelled as Sonic stopped spinning. "What! How could he?" Metal laughed. "Sonic… I am your doppelganger… Metal Sonic, I am the real Sonic!" Metal Sonic said as he placed the chaos emerald in the center of the engine. It was the green chaos emerald, and Sonic remembered it from his times fighting Robotnick. "Could this machine turn super like I can?" Sonic asked as Metal flew at Sonic, this time faster. The chaos emerald had given Metal speed, but could he turn super? Sonic didn't want to find out. Metal had punched the area Sonic was a moment ago. He had moved.

Sonic yelled to Tails, "We have to find the other 6 before Metal does, if gets his hands on all 7… I won't let that happen, we have to find them!" Tails nodded and grabbed Sonic. "No, get out of here, find the emeralds, I'll hold him off!" Sonic yelled as he ran out of the building. Metal chased him. They were going at the same speed. Sonic was surprised to see Metal Sonic going at the same speed as him.

Sonic looked at Metal for a split second, in that split second, Metal had lunged his clawed hand at Sonic's skull. Sonic ducked and rolled. He looked in front of himself to see Amy standing in a large patch of grass. Sonic slowed and looked next to him. Metal had vanished. "Huh? He was standing next to me a second ago!" Sonic stated as Amy frowned and turned away from him. "Ames? What's wrong?" Sonic asked and stopped.

"Sonic, if you didn't like me, you could have said something instead of leaving me." Amy said as Sonic walked in front of her to see her face. "Look, I had to s- CRAP! Where's Tails!" Sonic yelled as Tails panted and landed next to him. "Look Sonic, we're through!" Amy yelled as Sonic flinched. "But I-" Amy cut him off. "I've found someone who cares enough about me to actually stay with me!" Amy yelled.

"Who?" Sonic asked and a voice from the darkness replied, "That would be me…"

HAHAHA! I'm I good or what? Metal with a chaos emerald! This is going to be epic!
