Disclaimer: do I have to repeat myself? I own nothing but my OC.
Shadow the Hedgehog had gone over the plans he had for beating Sonic, which turned out to be a free-for-all brawl using every trick in their books to defeat each other. The one problem that he was busy working on is the location for it to be held. He thought of several places, like Westopolis so that the public can see the downfall of the blue blur, but that idea was scrapped due to possible civilian casualties. His thoughts were cut short, when he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned to see who came by, he saw the one person he hoped would stay out of trouble: Eggman.
He apparently overheard Shadow's plot to defeat Sonic, and assured Shadow that he isn't hiding anything and wanted to help him. "Why should I trust you, doctor?" The fat man replied, "I know you want to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, and you're looking for a place to hold it." With that, Shadow calmed down enough to hear the doctor's plan. After a while, the dark hedgehog smirked at the doctor's plan and agreed with it. Eggman also smirked, but with a different plan in mind.
It was around midday when Sonic the Hedgehog ran straight for Amy's house, when he remembered to tell the pink hedgehog about Tails' surprise. As he neared the front door, he started sweating like whenever prinnies are afraid of something (see end of this chapter for details). Finally, he got the nerve to ring the doorbell and get the ordeal over with. He had his own policy to never go back on his promises unless there's a good reason for doing so, which he thought about changing to add exceptions so he can chicken out on this date. After a while, Amy came out ready to go. They left the house hand-in-hand, and headed for the movies. When they arrived, Amy picked out the movie they were to watch, and Sonic was surprised at her choice.
The blue blur was surprised when she wanted to watch 'Goldeneye' with him. This calmed Sonic down enough to try to enjoy his date and thought to himself "Maybe dating her wasn't as bad as I thought." After buying the tickets, he went to the snack bar to get some popcorn and soda, and some nachos for the commercials that keep running over and over before the actual film. Once the snacks were bought, they were shown to their seats to enjoy the film.
Once the movie was over, he took Amy to a nearby coffee shop and hung out there for an hour talking about each other, and what they did before they met. After a while, Sonic took Amy to Tails' workshop saying that he and Tails had a something for her. When they got there, Tails greeted them with enthusiasm and took her to his work area. When they got there, Tails asked if Amy had her Piko Piko hammer with her. She replied, "Yeah, I never go anywhere without it. Why do you need it?" The only thing that Tails said was "You'll see soon, but I promise you I am not going to get rid of it." With those words, she summoned her signature weapon (don't ask how, but she does) and handed it over to the young fox.
Sonic took Amy over to the rest area that Tails designated, and played some board games to pass the time. After what seemed like hours, Tails came out of his work area and handed the hammer back to Amy. "All done, you're going to love what it does now." With those words, she gave the two a big hug, nearly breaking their spines in the process. After escaping her 'hug of death', the blue blur took Amy back to her home and thanked her for the opportunity he had to enjoy some time with her. What surprised her the most was what Sonic did next. He gave Amy a kiss on the cheek, said his goodbyes to the girl, and ran off waving goodbye. "Maybe I should do this more often, I actually enjoyed the ordeal." He thought to himself as he dashed towards Tails' workshop.
Ozone was flying around the world enjoying the sights, when he decided to head back to where he met Sonic and relax there. "This world is almost perfect for me to live on. It would be perfect if only Sonic were out of the picture, then I can relax and live out my days in peace." He thought to himself as he lay on the grass. He was about to drift off into sleep, until he remembered something he forgot. "Aw, man! I forgot to remove the computer protocol so no one can use it." His mind was racing with the possibilities of what people might do if they had his computer. His worry turned to relief when he suddenly remembered that he placed about ten password protection programs, each with different passwords that only he knew, before he left the space ship. With that 'problem' out of his mind, he placed a force field around himself so that the bugs won't disturb his sleep or cause problems during his rest.
The next morning, he woke up to an unusual situation. In front of him was a bunch of fruits and vegetables in a bowl, a tall glass of water and two hamburgers on a separate tray. He wondered who or what would place such a thing there, until he heard someone say, "Finally woke up, huh?" Ozone turned around to find Sonic leaning against a nearby tree. "I don't know what you like to eat, but I brought ya a variety of things that I thought you might like. Must've been a rough trip coming to Earth from space." he added, before joining the alien for breakfast. Ozone spoke after finishing one of the burgers, "Not much to say about it. It's a few hundred light-years from this planet, and is pretty much uneventful for the most part." He started, before reaching for an orange. "I left that planet because I wanted something different. I couldn't stand staying there because it's very boring. From the moment we're born, we're taught everything about survival. Our lessons are very thoroughly explained with demonstrations as well. The classes range from simple basics to very technical complex subjects."
"Sounds pretty dull to me" Sonic said, before noticing a red vein popping up from Ozone's forehead that meant a world of hurt. That was, until he sighed and started, "I guess I shouldn't get mad like that, knowing that you don't know half of what goes on over there." He then drained half the water in the glass before continuing, "One of the main reasons why it's so boring there is because 1 in 100 people there are selected to join the government and participate in whatever goes on there." Sonic took a moment to 'digest' the information into his head before asking, "Ok, but I have a question." Ozone looked at Sonic, then told him to ask his question. "What do they do to ya once you learn everything they have to teach them?" Ozone tried to remember what they did to 'graduates' when they learned everything they had to teach, then said he forgot. He then asked the blue blur, "Why did you bring me this, anyway? I hardly ever get treated in a friendly way before" Sonic simply replied, "I guess you can say it's an act of kindness, and I just want to show you that there are some decent people on this planet." "I guess so. Thanks for the breakfast though." He told Sonic before returning his attention to his morning meal.
Back with Knuckles, an image of the seven chaos emeralds surrounding the master emerald were clear in his mind, before he noticed something in a corner of the image he used to picture. When he tried to get a better look at the unusual picture in his mind, he saw a hint of red surrounding a somewhat pointy gem. He tried to dig deeper into his memories as a child, and opened his eyes in astonishment. "So there was another master emerald after all!" he exclaimed before hurrying back towards Angel Island.
Sonic's date with Amy wasn't as bad as he originally thought. Shadow the Hedgehog seems to be impressed with Eggman's plan, but what is it? Will Team Chaotix get a part in the story? Stay tuned and find out in the next chapter!
(information on prinnies: they're disgaea monsters/allies that look like penguins with peg-legs for feet, and a brown pouch strapped to their bellies. That's as close to a description as I can get as seen in the actual game and anime. One more thing: I DON'T OWN DISGAEA!)
