Now this chapter has the lovely Amy Rose here.
Amy: aww thanks Austin *hugs me*
Eh, no problem, Amy. Now then, expect some shopping and stuff and of course, ACTION! So without further delay, take it away, Amy!
Amy: Austin doesn't own Sonic or Sega, if he did, me and Sonic would be together! *day dreaming with her eyes sparkling*
As a matter of fact, I WOULD get you two together. But, I don't own you guys. Still, it can't hurt day dreaming about it. Now, on with the Show!
Chapter 10: Amy Rose
I woke up to the bright sunshine coming through my window. I got up to see the city bathed in sunshine. People and cars moving about. I smiled. Well, I hope Eggman isn't going to spoil this day and even if he did, I'll give him another butt kicking. Ha! That never gets old.
When I got down for breakfast, Cream and Cheese were sitting at the table, looking sad. When they looked up, they put on their usual smiles. "Morning, Austin." Said Cream. "Chao, chao!" said Cheese.
"Morning." I said, smiling. I took a seat next to them. Cream and cheese had their heads down. Sadly, I knew there was something wrong with them. "Hey, you okay?" I asked politely.
Cream looked up and said sadly "yeah, I'm okay. It's Amy that I am worried about."
I had a look of sadness in my eyes. But, I hid them and asked "why? What's wrong with her?"
"Well, you see, Sonic asked Amy on a date yesterday and she was so excited about it. They decided to meet at Twinkle Park at 8:00 PM. Amy waited forever, but Sonic didn't show up. She walked home, crying. I called Amy today, hoping she was okay, she was fine, but I could tell that she was still crying. Now, I'm worried about her. Sonic not showing up was devastating to her." Cream answered.
I sat back, feeling terrible for Amy. I can't believe Sonic didn't show up at their date, considering that it was HIS idea to do it in the first place. Now, Amy is crying because of him! I know Sonic doesn't take dating seriously. I just wish Sonic would confess to his love for Amy. He's just too shy to admit it. I would be too if I was in his place. I crossed my arms and started thinking about what to do. There must be something I can do to cheer Amy up. I hate to see her crying. It makes my body fall apart from the inside. It was true. Whenever Amy cried about Sonic, it tears me apart. It also makes me sad too, wishing somehow, someway, I can cheer Amy up. I thought long and hard and finally I snapped my fingers. That's it! I know just the thing! I got up to walk out the door.
"Austin, where are you going?" Cream asked.
I turned to look at her. I smiled and said "I'm going over to Amy's. I know just the thing to cheer her up."
Cream and Cheese then smiled. "Well, I hope it goes well. Good luck, Austin." Said Cream. "Chao, chao!" said Cheese, happily.
"Thanks Cream. You too, Cheese. See you both later!" I zoomed out the door and headed straight for Amy's house.
After a few minutes, I finally reached her house. I walked to the front and knocked three times. I heard footsteps from the other side. The door open and there stood Amy Rose. Her eyes were red and puffy and some teardrops where on her red dress.
"Austin? What are you doing here?" she asked. She was taken by surprise that I was here.
"I came to see if you were okay." I said.
She tried to put a smile on her face. "Oh, I'm okay. Would you like to come in?"
I smiled and nodded. She led me to her living room. We both sat down on the crouch. We were silent for a few minutes until I said "Amy, I'm not trying to make you sad or anything. But, Cream told me about your date with Sonic."
At this, Amy started crying again. "I just couldn't believe Sonic didn't show up! I was so excited about it! But he never came! He probably doesn't like me because I chase him around all the time!" she cried even harder.
I put a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "I'm sorry about what happened. Maybe Sonic forgot about your date. But, that doesn't mean he hates you."
Amy continued crying. "If he likes me, why does he always run away from me?"
I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to tell her the truth about why Sonic runs away from her all the time. So I said "I'm not sure why, but I know that deep down, he has feelings for you."
Amy stopped crying a little bit and looked up at me. "You think Sonic likes me?" she asked.
I smiled and answered "of course. He's just too scared or something to admit it to you. I know he does. You just got to give him some time. In the meantime, just be yourself. Put on a smile and try to be happy. No one wants to see a sad looking face, especially me."
Amy then smiled. She then hugged me saying "thank you, Austin. I feel so much better now, thanks to you."
"Your welcome, Amy." After she let go of me, I asked her "hey Amy, how about you and I do something today."
Amy looked at me. "Really? You want to hang out with me?" she asked, curiously.
"Of course. In fact, I'll let you decide what we can do. Anything at all."
Amy squealed happily and got up. "Hang on; I got to put on a new dress." And she ran upstairs to change her clothes.
I sat there with a huge smile on my face. It's great to see she's happy again. She then came back down wearing a new red dress. She also had on new red shoes with no white stripe on them along with a new hair ribbon that had a flower on it.
"Well, how do I look, Austin?" she asked.
I looked at her. "You look lovely, Amy." I said with a bow.
Amy giggled. "You sure are a gentleman, Austin. Well now, let's get going." We both headed out the front door.
"So, what do you want to do first?" I asked Amy.
"Well, how about shopping?" she looked at me.
I somehow knew she was going to say that. But hey, I did say we would do anything. I simply smiled and said "alright then, Amy, lead the way."
We arrived at a huge mall with many different stores. Amy dragged me along to the stores she wanted to go to. From shoe stores, which she needed my help as to what shoes fit her best, the clothes, which she wanted me to examine them for her when she tried them on, seeing if they look good on her, and finally, and the worst of all, the perfume department!
It was a nightmare for me. But I kept a straight face and went inside. The smells of different perfumes were overwhelming. Amy took her time, picking out and trying different perfumes while I was trying to get away from the people that wanted me to try different ones. I was having one heck of a time trying to breathe, until finally, Amy was done and we went outside.
I inhaled a long breath before I said "well, did you find what you were looking for?"
She smiled. "I sure did. Now that I have everything I need. Let's head back." She started carrying the many bags that she has. But she was having a hard time with them. "Austin, can you help carry these?" she asked politely.
I nodded and got all the bags. It took all my strength not to drop them. If I did, I would have to face Amy's wrath and I don't want that to happen to me.
We finally arrived back to her house and I took the bags to her room. I fell on the couch, exhausted. Now I know what shopping with girls feels like.
Amy enters the living room and said "hey Austin, after you rest, how about you and I go to twinkle park?"
I looked at her for a moment. I never been to twinkle park before nor have I heard of it. Still, it sounded like fun. "Yeah, we can go. I just need to rest for a little bit." She nodded and headed out.
A couple of hours later….
My nose was sniffing. I smelled something, something delicious. I opened one eye and smell again. It smelled like chocolate. I smiled. Looks like Amy is making something. I got up and went to the kitchen. Amy was cooking chocolate chip cookies. She already made almost a whole batch and was checking on the last cookies in the oven.
She didn't know I was in the kitchen until she turned around. She jumped. "Austin, I didn't know you where there."
I looked away and scratch my head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"That's okay. I was just about to get you up. I guess the smell of my cookies woke you up. Tee hee." She said, giggling.
I smiled and took a seat at the table. She put a few of the cookies on a plate and laid them on the table. I took one and ate it.
"Do you like it?" asked Amy.
I had my eyes closed, savoring the taste of the cookie. I opened my and said "like it? I love it. This is the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had!"
Amy beamed. "I'm glad you like them. You can help yourself. I'm going to take a shower, just to get ready for tonight, okay?"
I nodded and she headed out. I helped myself to a few more cookies. After that, I sat down, with a smile on my face. Amy sure has a knack for baking. I could learn a lot from her.
After an hour, Amy came down. "Okay, Austin, I'm ready."
I got up and walked toward the front door. I opened it with a bow. "Well then, shall we?" she smiled and nodded and we both headed out.
As we were outside, Amy said "hey Austin, I was wondering, you think we could get there with your speed?"
I looked at her and answered "of course." I picked her up, bribe style, and ran full speed toward Twinkle Park. At first, I didn't know how heavy Amy was. But, she was in fact, extremely light.
We finally arrived at Twinkle Park. The park was huge. I stood there, jaw dropped at the site of it.
Amy waved her hand in front of me. "Austin? Earth to Austin?"
I shook my head. "What? Oh, sorry about that. I was just taking in the view of the park."
Amy giggled. "That's okay. Now then, shall we?" she hold out her hand and I took it.
We had a fun time. First, we ride the Ferris wheel, which it took a lot of courage for me to ride on because I have a fear of heights. Next, we played some of the booth games. Amy was having difficulty trying to win a big Sonic the hedgehog doll. The goal was to hit the target. But here's the catch, the target was moving at super speed, making it almost impossible to hit. I gave it a try and with sheer luck and precision, I hit the target. Amy was so happy she hugged me again, making me fall to the ground. We rode many other rides until we reach the roller coaster. I refused to get on, since I didn't like riding them. Amy than threatened me to go on. I didn't want her to get out her hammer, so I swallowed my pride and obeyed. It was scary, going super fast, I was afraid that I was going to jump out of my seat. When it was over, I ran to the nearest trash can and vomit. I am not riding those coasters again.
After that embarrassing moment, we came to a stage with a large crowd of people in front of it. An announcer was on stage saying "welcome, everyone, to the annual Twinkle Park song fest special! We randomly select a person from the crowd to come on stage and sing us a song. If the crowd loves it, then he or she wins a prize! Now, the spotlight will now select someone!"
The big white spotlight zoomed through the crowd, randomly going through people. After a few minutes, the spotlight suddenly stop and the person it landed on wassssssssssssssssss…ME!
I gasped with eyes wide open. I didn't expect THIS to happen. Even Amy was surprised by this. Sweat drops starting coming down from my head. "Well, don't just stand there, Austin, get up there." Amy said, giving me a push. I slowly made my way up to the stage. With every step I took, I was getting more nervous, my body was shaking.
When I finally got to the stage, the announcer came up to me and said "well now, what do we have here? What's your name?"
"Austin, Austin the hedgehog." I said proudly.
"Well then, Austin, do you have a song for the crowd?" asked the announcer.
I looked at the crowd and thought hard. I saw Amy in the front; her hands were together with a worried look on her face. I couldn't let her down. Then it just hit me, I knew a song that could make this crowd go wild! I nodded to the announcer and he told me to get it ready in the back of the stage. I nodded again and ran at full speed toward the backstage.
A couple of minutes later…..
(Reach for the stars from Sonic colors. Note: get some headphones and hear this song while reading. It makes it more colorful that way)
Everything was dark outside. Suddenly, colorful lights sparkled everywhere as the music started. I came running through them at full speed. I then jumped on the stage and began to sing.
Take off, at the speed of sound
Bright lights, colors all around
I'm running wild, living fast, and free
Got no regrets inside of me
Not looking back
Not giving up
Not letting go
I'll keep on running
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
I then ran to the top of the stage. Colorful lights and fireworks starting going all around the place.
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll keep on running
The sky with stars so bright
the colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight...
Tonight...
I jumped and landed back on the stage. Everyone was amaze by this. I smiled and continued.
Wake up living day by day.
Do what I want, and I'll do it my way
The world is flying right below my feet"
Got no regrets inside of me.
Not looking back (Not looking back)
Not giving up (Not giving up)
Not letting go
I'll keep on running!
I'm gonna reach for the stars
Although they look pretty far
I'm gonna find my own way
And take a chance on today
I ran right back up to the top of the stage. The colorful lights and fireworks went off.
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
I never felt like this
I'll keep on running
The sky with stars so bright
The colors feel so right
Just take my hand
We're gonna reach for the stars
Tonight...
Tonight...
I went behind stage and then, using my chaos powers, I was floating in mid-air. I then flew outside with the fireworks and colorful lights coming all around me. my eyes were sparking with colors and I smiled.
I've got it in my sight.
The colors feels so right.
Got my feet off the ground I'll keep on floating!
Oh, I can feel it now.
The colors all around
Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars...
Just take the chance (Just take the chance)
We'll do it right again
(I'm gonna reach for the stars)
Just take my hand (Just take my hand)
Just take the chance tonight...
Reach for the stars...
Tonight!
I zoomed to the sky and with color, made colorful letters that spelled AUSTIN. I landed back on stage.
Tonight...
I ended the last line with a bow. The crowd was cheering loudly. They were going wild! Amy ran to the stage with tears of happiness coming out of her eyes. She threw her arms around me and said "Austin! That was wonderful! I never knew you were this good!"
I smiled widely. "Yeah, I never knew either." Then the announcer came up to me and said "that was fantastic! The whole crowd loved it! And with that I present to you your prize!" it was a 10,000$ gift card, which could be use in any mall. I wasn't much of a shopper, so I gave it to Amy; she squealed happily and hugged me. "Amy…..can't….breath." I said.
After all that, we sat at a nearby bench that over looked the ocean. Amy was really happy today. So was I.
Amy then looked at me and said "thank you for everything today, Austin, I had a wonderful time."
"I'm glad you did. I had a good time too." I replied.
Amy smiled and then she pulled out bracelet with seashells on them. "Austin, I want you to have this."
I looked at it. "What is it?" I asked.
"It's a bracelet that I made some time ago. It's made for good luck. You have done so much for me and through I barely know you, I can count on you as a friend. Think of this as a sign of friendship for the both of us."
I looked at her again and I was at a loss for words. I slowly put my hand up to grab the necklace when suddenly, the whole ground started shaking. I pulled my hand back as Amy lost her balance and dropped her bracelet. "Oh! Your bracelet!" she cried. Before she could grab it, however, a big robot came and smashes it into pieces. Amy stood there, horrified. I looked up to see Eggman flying in his Egg saucer over a large robot that robotic blocks stack on it with two pairs of arms on each and on top of it was a head of a serpent.
"bet you didn't expect to see me again, did you, Austin?" said Eggman. "my new robot is now ready to strike you down!"
I grinned. "oh really? I doubt that hunk of junk can keep up with my speed."
"you will need more than speed to survive this robot, Austin."
"really? Heh, I doubt it." I waved my hands around. "yo, fangface. I bet you can't catch me." I ran to the right.
"after him! Get rid of that green bozo!" Eggman shouted and his robot went slithering toward me.
Amy fell to her knees looking at the remains of her shattered bracelet. She picks up the pieces as tears came down from her eyes. "I guess my charm…. Wasn't so lucky." She cried, pressing her hands together. Then, her eyes were fiery red and she screamed "YOUR GONNA PAY!" she took out her hammer and went straight for the robot.
Me and Eggman didn't notice her coming until she was in front of me and with her hammer, swing one block off after another. I stood there, not wanting to get in the way. Eggman stood there, flabbergasted. "uhhhh… I better go." he said turning his Egg saucer around.
Amy got to the head and smashed it. then jumped on top of it and continued to hit her hammer on it. suddenly, a spring popped out and it flew Amy right towards Eggman. With a hard swing, she knocked him down to the ocean. His Egg saucer surfaced, with Eggman coughing up water. Amy then came down and slammed down her hammer hard on him, Eggman screamed at the site of her.
I saw what happened and Amy was nowhere to be found. Then it hit me. "AMY!" I shouted and held my breath and dived right down into the water.
Amy was slowly falling to the bottom as I was trying to reach her. When I caught her hand, I used my chaos powers to fling her out of the water. With a good swing, she flew from the surface and into the docks.
As for me, however, it was a different story. I tried to swim back up, but my body was exhausted from using my powers. I was losing my breath and my eyes were slowly closing as I was beginning to drown.
Amy was coming around. She coughed a little and stood up. "what happened? I remembered beating Eggman and then falling into the water. But then….. who saved me?" suddenly, it hit her. "Austin? Austin?" she looked around, but couldn't find me. "oh no! he must be stuck down there!" she headed to the edge and looked around frantically for a green hedgehog.
I was now on the edge of death as I was slowly losing my breath. But I wasn't going to die, not like this. I squeezed my chaos emerald and with the last of my strength, transported out of water and landing on the dock.
Amy turned around to see me lying with my body face down. She ran toward me and rolled my body over. My eyes were closed. "Austin? Please wake up! stop scaring me like this!" she said, shaking my body. no response was made. She pressed her ear against me. he's not breathing! She then did what needed to be done. She pressed her lips against mine and put a full breath into me. she then pushed my body with her hands to get me to breath. She continued this process until she couldn't do it anymore.
She started crying, realizing that I wasn't awake. She grasped my hand tightly as she continued to cry. Suddenly, my body stirred and I started breathing again. Amy stopped crying and looked at me. "Austin?" she asked.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at her. "Amy? You okay?"
She smiled. "of course I'm okay! I was worried about you! It scared me!"
I laughed softly. "yeah, I was too. But, I was more worried about you. Your safety is more important than my own."
"I know yo were worried about me. but still, you scared me to death! Don't ever do that again, Austin the hedgehog!"
I squeezed her hand and said "don't you worry, Amy. I won't let that happen again."
She stood there for a second and threw her arms around me again, crying. I just comfort her as the moon shined down under us from the sky.
Well, that was touching. But don't get any ideas. Amy belongs to Sonic, not me. I would consider her a best friend to me but nothing beyond that. This chapter took me forever to type out. Now please, leave a review and tell me everything about what you like, what was best, etc. so, until next time, catch you all on the flipside!
