Me:"Back for chapter 3!"

Sonic:"Yes. Wonderful." *cough* "Sarcasm." *cough*

Me: . "Shush! Or Shadow will beat you with a metal bat!"

Shadow: =D "YES!"

Sonic: O.O "Sorry..."

Chapter 3: Getting to know you

Amy was running around her apartment getting ready to meet Quill. She knew it wasn't an official date but that wasn't a reason to not look nice. The young pink hedgehog decided not to wear her usual red dress that she had several pairs of. Today was special and she was going to change things up. Fishing out a red tank top from her closet she quickly grabbed a pair of shorts to go with it. Being summer she didn't want to sweat and it showed off some of her curves. Changing into the outfit, Amy put on her tennis shoes and grabbed a small purse.

It was warm outside and a nice pleasant breeze was blowing. It was 11:40 when Amy reached the ice cream parlor. Quill wasn't there but he still had some time before she dubbed him late. Of course, that thought made her remember all the dates Sonic had been late for and how he had always claimed he forgot. Her blue hero had seemed sincere but sometimes she wasn't so sure. Sitting down let her focus on her thoughts. Hopefully Quill wouldn't just ditch her or forget they were supposed to meet. A jingle sound made her look up and her face lit up at the sight of a sky blue hedgehog. Hazel eyes met jade and Amy swore her heart stopped beating as he looked at her.

"Hey Amy." Quill said as a charming smile was revealed causing Amy to blush madly.

"H-hey Quill. I'm glad you made it," she managed to reply as she tried to hide her blush. But as his smile widened her cheeks turned a darker shade.

Quill sat down across from her and rested his elbows on the table. "I wouldn't miss it for the world." As he spoke he leaned closer to her and stared into her eyes.

Heart thumping loudly in her chest, Amys thoughts became jumbled and all she could do was stare back into his this moment she saw a flash of blue from the corner of her eye. Her companion didn't seem to notice or he didn't care. Glancing out the window she spotted a streak of blue before it disappeared over a small hill.

Sonic's POV

Anger coursed through me as I ran away from the city. Somehow on my usual run I had spotted Amy. Normally I would of ran off but something made me stop. It was then I realized that she was wearing a different outfit. Amy had looked absolutely gorgeous. A tank top showing off her figure and shorts to show off her shapely legs. Gaping I had stared at her for a moment until I noticed she wasn't alone. Across from the Rose was that male hedgehog again. Quall? Quimby? Qwen? Carl? Whatever his name is, I don't like him!

Reaching a field I slowed to a jog, here I spotted a familiar face. "Shadow?" The dark hedgehog was leaning against the tree with his eyes closed. Opening his ruby red eyes he sent a cold glare in my direction. Didn't faze me since he greeted everyone like that. Better than a chaos spear like last time. Although I did throw a bucket of water on him to wake him up. That day I learned not to wake Shadow up with any liquid substance...or wake him up at all.

"Is there a reason why you are here faker? You annoy me more than the teletubbies and that show makes me want to kick everyone in the face." Shadow said as he pushed off the tree and closed the distance between us,"Unless you wanted to try to pull that stunt again?"

Noting the venom in my dark counterparts voice I quickly raised my hands. "No. Nothing of the sort. I just wanted some advice Shads,"Explaining quickly to halt the assualt of a chaos spear.

"Oh well...did you just call me Shads?" Shadows eye began to twitch as he balled his hands into fists.

Feeling uneasy at his question I took a small step back,"Yes?"

A small growl followed my answer and he narrowed his eyes,"If you want to live I advise you not to call me Shads. Understood?"

I nodded and he seemed happy with my answer so I decided it was ok to go on. "Anyway I need some help. It seems that Amy is hanging around another hedgehog but...I think she is developing feelings for him."

"Why should I care? Your sad excuse for a love life means nothing to me," the dark hedgehog stated coldly as he folded his arms over the white fur on his chest. I shall never understand why he had a fluffy white patch of fur on his chest.

Taking dramatic measures I dropped onto my knees and clasped my hands together. "Please! I don't want to lose her," I pleaded and tried giving him puppy dog eyes," I'm not asking you to do anything physical. I just want some advice!" I knew he was trying to decide whether to help me or not. His ears were pinned back and he was looking away with a far off look in his eyes.

After what felt like eternity he gave me his answer. "Fine." That one word brought me to my feet and I raised a fist in victory. Shadow shook his head and face palmed when he saw my victory dance. Not sure why he would be ashamed. I'm a good dancer.

Sighing, Shadow looked at the sky as he concentrated. "Well first you need to keep her away from the guy. Personally, I would knock him out and ship him to Peru. Or you can get Vector to agree to eat him." The insane grin on his face was a little creepy and I feared for his sanity.

Amy's POV

I twirled a quill around my finger as I thought of questions to ask him. For the past few minutes I had been aswering his questions. Now it was my turn. "Umm...good childhood?"

"Yes. My parents were both supportive and encouraged me in everything I wanted to do. I was good in school and I had many friends. Sadly both of my parents died but it was from old age. No siblings either," Quill answered as he took a bite from his vanilla ice cream.

""What do you do for a living?" I asked and I noticed him trying not to smile at my question. I wonder what his job is? I really hope he isn't a tax collector or garbage man! I unconsiously wrinkled my nose at the thought.

Taking another bite from his ice cream he looked up and said one word,"Fireman." Immediantly he let out a small chuckle at my expression. If this was a cartoon I would of had hearts in my eyes with smaller hearts circling me.

"Wow! So you actually go in burning buildings and save people!" I was extremely impressed and it didn't help I was imagining him in his uniform with some black smudges on his face. Man! He is sexy! I think I have found a new love for firemen! Oh crap! I bet my face is like a tomatoe.

Quill gave me a strange look and shook his head,"No. I save cats." I felt my smile fade and all the small hearts pop. Out of nowhere Quill started laughing and I felt confused. Trying to catch his breath he looked up at me with a large smile,"I was only joking. Yes, I go into the buildings and make sure everyone is out."

The hearts returned as my expression brightened again. "Well that must be an exciting and dangerous job. I-" Before I could finish my sentence I heard a tapping noise.

Looking up I see none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. His green eyes were locking onto me but I knew he was watching Quill from the corner of his eye. Why is Sonic here? I see no reason for him interrupting or even bothering me at all.

"Ames can I talk to you?" Sonic asked and shot a glare at Quill.

Well thats the end of Chapter 3. Oh the righteous cliff hangers that are pure evil but fun to write but not to read. I hope you liked this chapter. It was fun for me to write. Anyway please leave a review if you want to. I think I might start another story but I'm not sure yet. Well thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.

Amy:*sigh* "Firemen..."3

Sonic:"Amy!"

Quill: *pats Sonic on the shoulder* "Let it go. There is no hope for her now."

Sonic:*Pushes his hand away* "Don't touch me! You did this to her! Its your fault!"

Quill:"Actually its Willows. She decided I was a fireman. I had no say."

Sonic:"Why? I am a hero! I save people all the time! I am way sexier than a fireman!"

Shadow: o.e *Eye twitch* "Shut up Faker. Your giving me a headache..."
