It was about 3:00 PM. The sun was shining high in the sky, lighting up her place through the glass of the windows. The house was quiet except for the occasional clanking sound Amy's knife made when it connected with her plate as she cut through the chicken she was eating.

The phone ringing broke the silence; something she got up to answer right away.

"Hello?"

"Hey Amy. I just bought the land!" Sonic quickly said.

"Great Sonic!"

"Yeah, I can afford it, but hiring a builder to build a house from scratch will cost a little more then I want."

"Oh."

"So I've decided I'm going to hold off and save up some money and live in my current house."

"OK, sounds like a plan."

"Yeah. So, what are you up to?"

"Dinner."

"Oh, sorry to interrupt."

"No worries, I'm happy to talk."

"Well OK, that's all I really had to say, though. So I'll let you go finish dinner now."

"Wait Sonic,"

"Yeah?"

"You know, if you wanted to, I could, um, help you build a house from scratch. I'd be happy to help in any way I could, and I'll put in some money."

"Wow... Thank you Amy. You don't know how much that means. I would be honored if you wanted to help create a house."

"No worries, I'm just happy I can do something for you. How about tomorrow morning I go to your house? You can show me the land and we can start the plans."

"OK Amy sounds good. Thank you again. Bye."

They both hung up.

Amy smiled as she put the phone down and started to finish her food. After she was done she took a shower and went to bed, expecting a long day tomorrow.

The next morning, the sun was just rising over the horizon and the clear, cloudless sky was taking on an orange color. That's when a knock to Sonic's door startled the blue hedgehog awake. He awoke with a jump and landed with a thud beside his bed.

"Oh crap, I forgot she was coming over this morning." Sonic slapped himself in a failed attempt to fully wake himself up.

He rushed to make his bed and make the house look all right as Amy knocked another time. He gave up and just answered the door. "Hello. Thank you for coming."

"No problem!" Amy exclaimed happily.

"OK, so. Would you like a bite to eat or a drink before we get started? Coffee?"

"Hmm, actually, coffee isn't a bad idea."

"OK, I'll be right back."

Sonic went into his house to fix her up a cup. He allowed the pink hedgehog into his current house, to which she accepted and sat down on his living room couch. The blinds were still closed, so the house was not very lit. Amy decided to turn the lights on. She flicked a switch on one of the walls and lights flashed on. The house looked a lot better.

Sonic came back with two cups of coffee, he asked her if she liked anything in it. She shook her head. Sonic gave Amy one of the two cups and began to talk.

"OK," He said, sipping the coffee, "So, have you seen what I'm thinking the finished product might look like?" Amy shook her head.

Sonic walked down his hallway and came back with a large piece of paper. Once, he opened it up, Amy saw the big project he was taking on.

The house he wanted to build was huge. Though from the picture she couldn't see how far back the house went, it was very wide. He was defiantly looking for a mansion look to his house. The front of the house had decorations pasted onto it. There were three triangular roofs on top to finish the luxury house off.

"Wow, it looks nice." Amy wondered what she had gotten herself into.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, are you going to have a basement?"

"Yes. So we'll have to do some digging."

"Alright, let's go out to the land."

Sonic walked Amy outside of his neighborhood and into an even quieter area.

It was about 45 minutes by walking, but it was well worth it when Amy saw the land Sonic had wanted so badly. It was a huge, beautiful plot of land. A line of trees, which were separated by a yard or two each, lined what Amy supposed to be the property line. After the line of trees in front, it seemed like the area was a bit more forested, but she couldn't tell how much.

"Wow Sonic." She looked over at her hero, "You really outdid yourself here. This is going to be a really nice house."

"Yeah? Thanks."

The two walked onto the land and Sonic tried to explain some of the dimensions he was going for with the house. Amy knew the house was going to be big, but what she heard from Sonic was enormous, and yet he'd still have a nice backyard at least.

Sonic checked Amy's face to make sure he wasn't overwhelming her with everything he was saying in a short time. But he wasn't, Amy's expression stayed the same throughout, which surprised the hedgehog, who was overwhelming himself a bit.

After talking about the size and shape of the house, the two exchanged light conversation on the details, including jokes about the exterior design. Afterwards, the two decided to leave it alone for a while and went to have a meal.

They got into the city and checked out all of their options. Many of the nicer places were closed with the time it was about 9:30 AM. The few open restaurants were fast food chains, which they both agreed they weren't in the mood for. Deciding it best to look elsewhere, they started wandering.

Before they even knew where they were they found a brunch place.

Realizing it didn't seem like much else was available they tried the place out.

An hour and a half later they couldn't believe what they'd stumbled into. The place amazed them. Sonic had a nice serving of pancakes and Amy waffles.

After talking about the enjoyment of their meal, they walked back to Sonic's house.

Sonic and Amy decided it best they look up what materials were needed to build the base of a house, and how to do it. It took them a little bit to finally find what they were looking for, but they found it. After they finished calculating exactly what they needed and how much, they chose to order it via telephone.

"OK Amy," Sonic said as he put the phone down, "I've got some bad news, some bad news and some good news."

"How about the bad news first." Amy said.

"They don't have what we need in stock."

Amy wasn't too happy to hear that. "Ok, good news now."

"We're off for two days at least!"

"Bad news now, how much worse can this get?"

"It will take them two days to get it in."

After that, they chose to just have a fun day, watching TV, talking and then bring in pizza later that day.

At least they were going to enjoy their off days.
