2. Change Up!
The Sonic Crew Are Humans! Spare Mee Pleasee! Amy was a normal teenager, living in Mobius. She soon takes interest in a certain student in the school. He was simply irrevocably handsome, what girl can argue? But there was something more to him, something dangerous, something tempting. And Amy isn't going to leave that unsolved, even if it kills her.
The next day was somewhat better than yesterday. Amy took a deep breath before opening the car's door. She staggered out of the car, due to her boot's laces. 'Damn it, bad time to look like an idiot!'
She heard a male's laughter; she quickly blushed and bended down to pick up her books. Suddenly, her hands brushed by a pair of strong hands. She looked up quickly while flinching away from the touch. "S-Sorry-"
"Amy." Sonic smiled.
"Umm, hi Sonic." She paused looking at the mess. "This is a bit embarrassing. I'm sorry." Amy babbled.
Sonic smiled, his emerald eyes shining. "No, it's alright." Sonic stood up holding onto the supplies. "But, we really have to stop meeting like this." He chuckled. Amy quickly tied her laces, and jumped up. He handed the books to her. "Thanks." She laughed lightly.
Sonic walked Amy to class and sat by her during English. Knuckles glared at Sonic, and Amy noticed that. It was flattering to tell the truth, but also uncomfortable. During lunch, Amy sat with a big group including Sonic, Knuckles, Cream, and Blaze and also several other people.
Amy looked at the other table, where he would be sitting at. However, he was not there, only the other four were. Amy blinked, but lowered her eyes.
Amy then scanned the table, before picking up her apple. There was girl, which Amy has not seen…ever. She was very surprised actually. 'Is that a new girl?' Amy thought to herself. She a crossed the table, "Hey, Cream."
Cream looked up suddenly. "Yes Amy?"
"Who's that?" Amy quickly shifted her gaze at the new girl.
"Ooh, that's just Chantelle Winters." Cream smiled. "She just moved here, but I forgot where from."
"Ooh, I see." Amy nodded. She studied her. She was very pretty; she had black hair and a thick blonde highlight right in the middle of her bangs, which were very long, covering her eyes. Amy looked a little closer, noticing a speck of gray shining through her bangs. Amy noted that her eyes were a foggy gray color. Two mid-back strands of hair, framing her face, and the rest of her hair barely reaches her shoulders. Her hair was black and she had a thick blonde highlight right in the middle of her bangs. She also wore a black choker with an orange pick hanging from the middle by a mini-chain, a red hairclip on her right strain of hair that framed her face, and two bobby pins that form an 'X' on her left strand of hair.
Amy nodded her head and let a sigh escape from her lips. "Hi there, I'm Amy Rose." Amy smiled reaching her hand out. Chantelle looked surprised and smiled. "Hi, I'm Chantelle Winters." She paused before reaching her hand out. "But, please call me Chan. I prefer it."
Amy laughed. "Alright." Chan shook her hand. 'I see, we can become friends really quick. Good.' Amy thought before letting go.
"So, what is your next class?" Chan asked.
"Bio." Amy sighed making a face. "Your's?"
"Bio."
"Cool."
Amy walked to Biology with Sonic and Chan. He seemed to be enjoying himself while talking to Chan. Amy held her breath at the door. Sonic looked confused, tilting his head. "Ames, are you okay?"
"Yes!" Amy suddenly jumped.
"Okay." Sonic nodded and opened the door. Amy's eyes quickly scanned the room, Shadow nowhere to be seen. Amy exhaled and went to her seat. Amy was somewhat relieved to have the desk to herself, and that Shadow was absent. The tense moment from yesterday was completely gone. However, Amy couldn't help but look at the empty chair that was be her side.
But, down in her gut, Amy thought it was her fault that he wasn't here.
P.E. was a delight for Amy, and Chan was on her team. Amy noticed from the corner of her eyes that Chan admired her. The way she spiked the ball, server, and so on. Nevertheless, Amy had to admit it. Chan was a competition. When it was Chan's turn, she spiked perfectly, never missing when the ball came toward her. Good thing, she was on Amy's team.
Amy and Chan sat on a bench in the girls' locker room. "You did good, girl." Amy smiled patting Chan's back. "Say, how old are you?"
"…15..."
"Ooh," Amy glanced at her surprised. "I'm 16."
"I know, I'm young. But, I skipped a grade; since people claim that I am very smart." She snorted.
"Ooh, I see." Amy nodded her head.
Chan paused before saying anything. "My brother, Nate, is picking me up…For family matter." Chan added the end quickly.
"Ooh." Amy said. "Then I'll see you tomorrow."
"We'll see…" Chan whispered, that Amy couldn't hear it. She waved good-bye.
Amy stretched, pulling the T-shirt over her head and short-shorts off, and changing back to her original clothes. She quickly made her way through the parking lot, climbing into her Lexis. It was pretty crowed, so Amy sat in the Lexis opening her bag to check if she had everything.

Last night, Amy had discovered that Trevor was not a chief. All he can cook, without burning them, was a bowl of cereal. So, with a good heart, Amy had assigned herself to kitchen duty. Amy also found out that there were barley any food in the house. Amy sighed, having a shopping list and cash from Trevor. Therefore, she was on her way to the supermarket. It was nice to be in a supermarket, it felt like home. Amy did most of the shopping back home anyways.
When Amy got home, she unloaded the groceries, stuffing them wherever there were space. Amy wrapped potatoes in a foil and stuck them in the oven to bake; she then got the ingredients from the fridge. Laying out a bit of parsley, sour cream, and a can of cheese.
Amy grabbed her bag and went upstairs, throwing the bag onto her bed with a thud. Then she turned on the slow computer. She changed, slipping on a pair of loose tan capri pants and a size too big sweatshirt. She also tied her pink hair into a bun on both sides of her head.
She walked back to the computer, there was a pop sound. It said "2 unread messages".
Amy sighed, sitting down on the chair. Amy folded her hands under her chin.
"Amy…" it wrote…
How have you been? Mommy misses you so much. So, tell me how your flight was, and is it raining there? I know you hate rain and such. And I'm almost finished packing to go to Rhode Island, but I seem to have lost my purple sweatshirt…where is it? In addition, Eric says hi.
Amy sighed and went to the next one. Amy's mother was being remarried to Eric, so that was why Amy got kicked out…sort of.
Amy Rose! Why haven't you e-mailed me back yet? I'm starting to get worried. So, if you don't answer me, I'm going to call Trevor. And I assure you, it's not going to be pretty.
Amy sighed, sending a quick message back.
MOTHER, CALM DOWN. Don't kill me just yet.
Amy presses send, and then writing a new one, so her mother will have info.
Everything has been great, so far. Of course it's raining, but I'm gradually getting use to it, so don't worry. School isn't bad…just a repetitive, but what school isn't? Haha. Also, your sweatshirt…is with me. Sorry, I must have been in a rush do get packed, I accidentally stuffed it in the bag. No wonder the sweatshirt was too big. Also, Trevor bought me a car! Can you believe that? It was so nice of him to do that for me, you know. I absolutely love it, it is a Lexis. Very fancy? Hehe. In addition, I miss you very much, love you.
Amy pressed send again, and shut off the computer. Amy sat down and did some of her homework, and Amy suddenly smelled potatoes in the air. 'Oh no.'
She rushed downstairs, occasionally tripping. Whew. Good thing there wasn't a fire. Amy quickly took the potatoes out of the over and decorated it. She grabbed two plated and set them on it.
"Hey Ames." Trevor smiled quickly pulling the jacket off of him. "What smells so good?"
"Dinner." Amy stated, smiling a little. She poured a cup of water and gave it to Trevor, while she had tea instead.
"So, um, dad. Do you know anything about…the…" Amy paused, remembering that Cream hadn't told her Shadow's last name. Neither of his relatives either. "Well, there's a guy-"
"Please Amy." Trevor said suddenly. Amy looked at him dumbfounded. "Is this about a boy?" He stretched the word boy a little, okay, maybe a lot.
"No, no, dad." Amy blushed.
"Okay, then continue."
Amy sighed. "Well, there's a guy that sit next to me," Amy glanced over at Trevor seeing if he was listening. He was, awkwardly. "And well, his dad is a half robot…half human?"
"Ooh, him." Trevor seemed serious now. "He's amazing. He's the smartest guy around here; he is a good fisherman, doctor, teacher, and hunter."
"Ooh, do you happen to know his last name?" Amy asked drinking the tea. Amy was going to make it casual as possible.
"Why, yes. It's Robotnik."
Amy blinked. "Very…interesting…last name." Amy struggled to say. It was indeed strange. However, she shouldn't judge…just yet.
---
The next day Amy went to school, he still wasn't there. Did he hate her so bad, that he moved away? That's surely impossible, in her terms anyway. She sighed.
"Hey Amy!" Sonic called out from the front of the school building. Amy remembered not to drop her books every time he was here. Amy smiled tentatively before walking to him.
"Hello."
"Hey Ames, I have a plan." Sonic blurted out.
"W-What is it?" Amy didn't know she was stuttering.
"Well, me and my friends…you know, Cream, Knuckles, Chan…Ooh, and also Midnight De Levella." He paused, as soon as he saw Amy's confusion.
"Ooh, umm, Midnight … you haven't met her yet. She was sick for a couple of days. So, that's why. But she is here today. Ooh, and speaking of Midnight, she's right there." He pointed out.
Amy spun around. There was girl, who was tall, well taller than she was anyways. She had forest green eyes with a speck of hazel in them, waist-length wavy black hair with thick purple streaks. She wore skinny jeans, a purple tank top accompanied by a white midriff, and black high heels. She flicked her long hair and smiled. "Heelllooo," she drawled. "Sonic. And umm, other girl."
"Amy." She protested.
"Yeah, whatever." Midnight waved her hand in the air. "Midnight De Levella."
Amy glanced at Sonic uncomfortably. "Umm, nice to meet you." Amy's voice crack a little.
Midnight smiled tentatively and looked at Sonic with flirty eyes. "Well, hello there, Sonic."
"Yeah, hi." Sonic shifted his weight uncomfortably.
"Well, off to class, eh? I'm sure they miss me."
"Of course, your majesty." Sonic rolled his eyes.
"Well, aren't you going to walk me to class?" Midnight asked.
"Umm, sorry." Sonic glanced at Amy briefly. "I have other plans. But, you are sure your coming to Pebble Beach with us, right?"
"I guess so, ta-ta for now."
Amy broke the short silence. "Midnight, eh?"
"Yeah," Sonic looked at Amy and a grin flashed across his lips. "You don't like her?"
"Well, I like her, just not as a friend…yet." Amy said honestly.
"Well, don't worry. She seems bad, I know. But, once you really get to know her. She's alright; you just need to get use to her is all." Sonic sighed.
They then walked to class. "Well, I think Levella has a crush on you…or something." Amy giggled softly.
Sonic raised an eyebrow. 'When does she ever use last names? Man, maybe she is getting on Ames nerves.'
"Oh, I'm pretty sure she does." Amy smiled; he was so full of himself. But, Amy liked that.
"Well congrats." Amy shrugged opening the door to English. There was a test, good thing Amy studied for it. Amy sighed taking a number 2 pencil writing answers.
When Amy and Sonic walked out of the class, the air was filled with popcorn looking items. One of them touched Amy's cheeks. "It's snowing." Sonic breathed.
"Yeah," Amy smiled. Sure, she didn't like rain, but did anyone say that she didn't like snow? She smiled, buttoning her lavender jacket.
Sonic smiled admiring her. She looked so pretty…in his eyes anyway. Her pink hair flowing in the breeze, her emerald eyes with the reflection of the fluffy snowflakes, and slightly blushed cheeks, down to her perfect pink lips-
"Hello, earth to Sonic!" Amy laughed waving her hands in his face. Sonic blinked and smiled slightly at her. "Good, I thought I lost you."
Splat.
Sonic turned around glaring, but then he saw Knuckles. "Eh?" he paused. "You are ready for a snowball fight, already? Sheesh." Sonic shook his head, white cloud looking things fell from his dark blue hair.
"Yeah!" Knuckles laughed. "You promised last winter, remember?"
Sonic seemed go think hard, really hard. "Okay, I'll take that."
"I'll see you later, dude." Amy nodded walking away. "Once people start throwing unidentified objects, I go inside."
Sonic laughed. "Okay."
---
Throughout the whole day, everyone was very excited that it was snowing. Amy guessed that it doesn't happen often. Amy, Chan, and Cream walked to the cafeteria, after French. Cream laughed at Amy, because she had a food tray to protect herself from the mush balls.
Sonic and Knuckles soon joined after, both with melting snow in their hair. Sonic and Chan were talking to each other, laughing about how Sonic got attack by mush balls on his way to the cafeteria. Apparently, Sonic was the aim. Like a hunter and a deer, only Sonic was the deer. Amy smiled as she watched them two, so cute…
Amy then out of the corner of her eyes looked at his table. Stupid habit. But then Amy suddenly gasped as there sat five people.
"Amy, is there anything wrong?" Cream tugged on Amy's arm.
"Nothing!" Amy quickly said. Chan looked curiously
at her. "Does Amy always act like this?"
"I dunno." Sonic shrugged.
"Here, calm down Amy." Chan passes her a can of soda.
Amy glanced at her. "You're not going to drink it?"
"I'm not a fan of soda…I prefer water." Chan shrugged.
"Ooh," Amy took the can of soda and gave Chan a bottle of water she hadn't drank. "Thanks."
"No problem." Chan smiled.
Amy drank her soda slowly looking down at the table and empty tray. She let a small sigh escape from her lips. She shook her head, this is it. If she is going to do this, might as do it right. I mean, it was just one little peek…it couldn't hurt. Could it?
Amy lifted her head glancing at the Robotnik's table. They all were laughing. Shadow, Espio, and Vector all had their hair moist with snow. Vector shook his head, trying to shake the snow out. Rouge will occasionally ruffled his hair to help.
Amy examined Shadow a little bit more than the others. His skin wasn't as pale as before, but he did had red streak on his arms. Amy noted that was strange, but then again, the last time she had seen him was when he was wearing a jacket, this time was a white long sleeve that was rolled up to his elbows. There were also some red stuff upon his eye; did he get hit with a snowball that hard? She shrugged it off.
"What are you staring at Amy?" Cream intruded.
At that moment, his eyes flashed over to meet hers. Amy quickly looked away, unlocking a strand of hair to let it hide her face. She was sure that it wasn't the hate gaze; it was just out of curiosity.
"Shadow is staring at you!" Cream giggled.
"Does he look mad?" Amy whispered.
"No," she said, confused. "Should he be?"
Amy ignored that question.
"Well, whatever." Cream smiled. "But, he is still staring at you."
"Stop looking at him!" Amy hissed.
Cream giggled again, her dimples, that Amy hadn't notice before raised. She looked away; Amy looked up making sure she did. And if she resisted, oh, hell will break loose.
Sonic's voice was now loud. He was planning to have a snow battle at the parking lot and wanted them to join. Chan agreed enthusiastically, while knuckles nodded, and Blaze too. 'Wow, I didn't notice her here. She is usually the loud one, I must have prejudged.'
Amy shook her head no. "Naw, I have to do something anyways…" she lied.
"Ooh," Sonic sighed. "That's too bad."
"I guess." Amy shrugged. "But maybe." Amy smiled.
Amy didn't really want to walk with Sonic, since he was a popular target for snowballs. But, when everyone walked outside, almost everybody groaned as the rain was washing the snow away. Amy though seemed not to care as much. Amy pulled her hood up, the fur tickling her nose.
Once, inside the classroom Amy let out a breath she didn't notice that she was holding. She pushed the hood back, unzipping the jacket a bit and shook her head. Letting her pink hair fall evenly on her shoulders. The table was still clear. The teacher was distributing items to each table. Amy went over to sit at her assigned table, she flipped open her notebook and started to doodle randomly.
Amy didn't look up when she heard the chair beside her move, screeching the floor. Amy sighed quietly, here he comes…
"Hello," said a quiet voice.
Amy instincts were to grab the notebook she was doodling on and smack him with it, but she restrained herself. Amy looked up slowly, stunned that he was speaking to her. The chair was far away from Amy, but he was angled toward her. His hair was wet, leaving white crystals in it, but still - it was so even. His dazzling face was very friendly, a smiled played on his lips.
"My name is Shadow Robotnik," he paused, and then continued. "I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last time. And you are Amy Rose."
Amy raised an eyebrow not able to say anything. Her head was slightly dazed, had she made up…? But how? On the other hand, was it her fault anyway? He was perfectly polite, but Amy had to talk. He was waiting. Amy had nothing to say though, nothing conversation material.
"H-How do y-you know m-my name?" Amy stuttered.
He laughed softly. "Oh, everybody knows your name. The whole town has been expecting you."
Amy grimaced. "No," Amy persisted blindly. "You can call me Ames if you like. Or Amy. But I don't really care…" Amy blushed, her cheeks flashing red.
'Ugh. I'm such an idiot!'
"Ooh, but which one do you prefer?" He asked.
"Like I said, I don't care." Amy was now calm.
"Okay." Shadow let it dropped and Amy turned away quickly after.
The teacher started the class, thank god. He explained the lab they would be doing today. The slides were out of order, and the partners had to work together to label the slides accordingly. Too bad they couldn't use there text book, that would of made it a whole lot easier.
"Get started," he commanded.
"Ladies first?" Shadow asked, he was smiling a crooked one, very attractive that all Amy could do was to stare at him. Like how a little kid would set eyes on their first Christmas tree. "Or would you like that I start first?"
"No," Amy flushed. "I'll go ahead."
Amy had done this lab before; she already knew what she was looking for. Amy studied the slide a little before saying the answer. "Telophase."
Shadow nodded. "Is it okay if I look?" He asked as Amy began to take the slid out. His hand caught hers to stop her. His finger weren't warm, it was like ice. Maybe even colder than ice. Amy flinched back.
"I'm sorry," he muttered, pulling his hand back. However, he continued to reach for the microscope. "Yeah, it is."
They both filled it out on their worksheet. "Metaphase." He said quietly, as he filled in the third space. Amy did the same. "May I?"
He smirked and pushed the microscope to her. She looked through the eyepiece. "You're right…" Amy whispered. "Damn it."
He laughed a cheerful laugh. "Umm, slide three?" He asked.
"Yes please." Amy stuck her hand out, still removing the other slide with her hand. He carefully placed it on the palm of her hand.
"Anaphase." Amy said passing the microscope to him. "Wanna take a look?" Amy passed him a soft quick smile. He gazed at her for a moment, as if he was soaking the smile in to his memory. Amy blinked a couple of times before he can answer. "Sure." He grinned.
They wrote it down. Then they did the last one that was obvious to them. "Prophase." Shadow called out. The first stage of the whole mitosis process.
They were the first ones done; Amy leaned back in her chair casually. "Say," Amy said bravely.
"Hmm?" Shadow looked at her.
"Did you get a tattoo or something?" Amy reached to touch his arm, but he flinched away. "No." He answered.
"Was it always there?" Amy couldn't help but wonder.
"I guess so." He answered, uncertainly. His hand clenched into a hard fist.
The teacher came over to check on them. "Are you guys all done?"
"Yes." Amy answered quickly. She smiled vaguely.
"Shadow, did you let Amy do any of it?" He joked.
"Why yes, she was pretty impressive." He smiled tentatively.
Amy secretly hid the smile. The teacher looked at Amy, with surprised written clearly over his face. "Have you done this before?"
"Yeah." Amy smiled.
"Ooh, interesting. Then you two are a good pair. I can see you two together-" he paused as he looked at both of them. Amy had a shocked expression while Shadow had a slightly amused expression. "In the lab. You two might be the best ones in the class, even thought I'm sure of it." He added the last part in a whispered.
Amy nodded not saying anything, and the teacher walked away to peek at the other students. Amy started to doodle again in her notebook. That was her escape out of the world, or escape hole out of this situation.
"Well that's too bad about the snow…" it seemed like he was talking to himself.
"Not really…" Amy sighed, finally answering. She flipped the notebook close and stared at him.
"You don't enjoy the snow?"
"Eh," Amy shrugged. "I'm not a fan of it. But, it's alright. I honestly like humid weather better."
"Do you like it here?" He asked.
"You tell me," Amy muttered darkly rolling her eyes. He seemed fascinated by her answer but Amy was not sure why.
"Why'd you come here?" It was so direct; Amy couldn't help but looked at him dumbfounded.
"It's…something…that is hard to explain." Amy chose her words carefully.
"I can comprehend."
Amy paused for a moment, her mouth ajar. How can she start this?
"My mom is getting remarried." Amy stated blindly.
"It doesn't sound so complex." Shadow shook his head, but his eyes were sympathetic. "When...?"
"Last fall." Amy said quietly looking down for a second, her voice seemed sad.
"Do you…like him?" Shadow asked.
"Yes, Eric is okay."
"Why didn't you stay with them?"
He continued to stare at Amy with a penetrating gaze, as if her story was somewhat exciting.
"You see, Eric plays football for a living." Amy smiled. "But, he is in the minor leagues, but he moves a lot." Amy paused. "So, if I continued to stay with them, I will have to move out of every school in a short time."
"So…is that why they kick you out? So that she can still travel with him, and you can stay at one school?" Shadow asked knitting his eyebrows together.
"Well yeah, but I sort of gotten used to the idea now. First I had a big disagreement with my mom, but she won, end of story."
"That doesn't seem fair." He added dryly.
"Who said life was fair?" Amy laughed with humor.
Shadow's gaze became appraising. "You put on a good show, with that cheap act." He paused as he looked at Amy's face. "But, I bet you keep more things hidden." Amy grimaced, wanting to kick him in the shin as hard as she can. How can he hit the hammer on the nail?! That's impossible. "Am I wrong?"
Amy puckered her lips, biting it occasionally. He smirked. "Ha, I didn't think so."
Amy snorted lightly looking at him, with a different set of eyes. It was now dark jade green. Shadow blinked a couple of time, not even fazed. "Did you put contacts on?" Was his great response.
Amy flushed. "N-No, why?"
"Just wondering…"
"I'm sorry," he suddenly said. "I'm annoying you, aren't I?" He sounded somewhat amused.
"No, not really," Amy stated. "My face is so easily blushed that made my mom a fortune teller…"
"A fortune teller?" He laughed.
"Err, well she can tell what's on my mind because of my facial expression, damn karma…" Amy giggled softly before shrugging.
Shadow smiled looking at Amy. "Well, I find you … difficult to read, actually." Amy glanced at him, raising an eyebrow.
"Wow, you must be a good reader." She said sarcastically.
"Usually." He placed his head on his palm, he grinned, flashing white teeth.
The teacher called out to the class to pay attention. Then it hit her. She had just explained a personal story to a strange, handsome boy who might hate her. Amy tried to look like she was listening carefully.
When the bell rang, Shadow jumped out of his seat and out the door, like he had did last time. She sighed watching him. 'Still a wacko.' She mused before getting up from her seat.
