A big, black, pickup truck stopped in front of his house. Sonic got up at the sound of the brakes squeaking as the vehicle slowed to a halt. "Hey!" He called out as the man inside the truck rolled his window down.

"Hi, Drake here. You called me a couple days ago?"

"Yep. Thanks for making it out?"

"No problem. I'm here to build a foundation on your 5 point something acre lot."

Sonic nodded and looked into the back of the truck. There didn't seem to be anything in it. "What are you going to build it out of?"

"Had the materials dumped off earlier today?" The man smiled, "I can give you a ride if you want. I'm going to get started."

"OK, you can go ahead. I'll see you in a little bit. You know where everything is, right?"

The driver said yes.

"OK, then. As long as you don't mind working alone then I'll stay," Sonic said.

"No big deal. OK man, I'm gonna get going. See you."

The two exchanged goodbyes and the pickup truck started up down the road.

Right away the driver realized he was going the wrong way and turned around, waving to Sonic as he accelerated. After Sonic waved back he walked inside to call Amy. Smiling happily at what was going to be accomplished. The phone rang a few times before she picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi Amy! It's Sonic."

"Sonic, hi! How are you?"

"Very good. The builder is working on the base right now."

"Great! I'll be right over. Bye."

Sonic said goodbye and hung up. Within a couple minutes Amy was in his driveway. Sonic smiled. The two exchanged hellos and how are yous before heading off to the construction site. Once there, they found the guy already hard at work. He seemed to be making some fast progress as well.

"Hey," he said upon realizing the blue hedgehog.

"Hi. How's it going?"

"Very well. Just getting this thing done one step at a time, you know? But wait. Who might this young lady be?"

"Oh, I'm Amy. Hi."

The man smiled and nodded at her. "Are you his girlfriend or something?"

Sonic blushed deeply and prayed she would answer correctly.

"Yes!"

Why? Sonic didn't know what to do now. It's not that he wasn't having a good time with Amy, but he wasn't ready to go as far as to say he was her boyfriend. Without wanting to upset Amy, however, he just sighed. Amy looked over at him with a glimmer in her eyes. Sonic shook his head but let it go for the moment.

"Why, can I help you?" Amy asked the builder.

"Nah, thanks though. Just found it interesting how he wanted to bring you over right away. I offered him a ride and he refused it to go get you apparently."

The glimmer in Amy's eyes returned and she eyed Sonic, "You did? Just for me?"

"Well," Sonic trailed off, "I'd uh... Forgotten my morning OJ."

"Come on Sonic. I know you don't drink orange juice. I've never seen it in your fridge," Amy countered. Sonic put his head down in defeat. Amy all of a sudden felt a ping of guilt hit her as she realized that she might have pushed Sonic over the edge just a bit.

"Oh Sonic, it's not a big deal. Nothing to be ashamed of." She ran over to him and took him into her arms, "Besides, just because you brought me over here, doesn't mean that you really like me that way, you know. Since we've been working on this house it only makes sense, really." She tried to comfort him.

Sonic lifted his head up and smiled a bit. "Yeah I guess your right."

Amy let go and asked him what he planned on doing.

"Well, if Mr. Uh, what's your name again? I forgot."

"Drake," he answered as he hammered in a nail.

"Oh, thanks. If Drake doesn't need us to do anything, then maybe we should go get a little breakfast. I didn't have any this morning."

Amy smiled and said she hadn't either. Then, Sonic asked Drake if he could do anything for him. The builder shook his head and went back to work. With that, Sonic and Amy decided to go to the breakfast place they had went to before for that brunch of theirs.

As their meals were cooking, Sonic explained to Amy what he thought would happen, but he didn't know what the process was exactly, nor how long it would take.

Otherwise, it was pretty quiet for a change. The only sounds that could be heard for about 15 minutes straight until their food came were Mother Nature's. Birds were chirping their loud, playful noises, owls were hooting and frogs were croaking from somewhere or another.

Sonic and Amy didn't once think about breaking the nice silence, though. They were content on listening to it all. Once their food came, however, it was time to get down to business. The hedgehogs hastily grabbed their fork and spoon and dug into their meals. With his mouth full, Sonic had asked what their plans were for after eating.

"Well," Amy started, but took a minute to swallow her bite. She also wanted to think through some of their options. "That builder didn't seem to need much help at all. So I don't want to get annoying and keep asking."

"I agree." Sonic gulped down his big bite, "I also don't want to just stand there and be a cheerleader, either." This one brought a light laugh out of Amy.

Finally, something seemed to click in her mind. "We could go to a museum. Always lots to see there!"

Sonic groaned and rolled his eyes. "Boring." He was never a fan of standing and looking at artwork, or what many museums had on display. It just wasn't his style. "Got a better idea?"

Amy again started to sift through her list of places to go. Obviously, number one was a cliff at sunset, but something told her Sonic didn't have much interest. But then something came to mind. It seemed perfect. She just hoped that Sonic would see the bright side of it. She waited to see what Sonic's suggestion would be. She really hoped he was thinking along the same lines so that she wouldn't have to turn his idea down.

When he finally answered he was off the mark. "The tennis courts are always open."

"Nah, maybe-" Amy started but was quickly cut off as Sonic continued.

"Golf. We've got the course right down the road. What do you say?"

Golfing didn't sound like an awful plan to Amy, but she still liked hers better. It wasn't that she was stuck on hers, but more that she would be happier if Sonic liked it.

"Good ideas, but you know, we could always go to the park?"

"Hmm, interesting, but I'd rather do something else."

"Alright, then golfing or tennis sounded good. Which one would you rather do?"

"I'm good with either one, you decide."

"OK, then how about a round of golf?"

"Great, sounds perfect. We'll go right after we eat!"

"OK! You sure you're not going to need a couple minutes to digest?" She couldn't help but giggle as Sonic shoved in the rest of his 7 pancakes into his mouth. His cheeks puffed out, but he looked up at her anyways and shook his head. Amy began to eat her waffle, with a couple to go still. "Well then, I'm gonna make you digest." She chuckled evilly as she slowly bit down on the waffle.

Sonic grumbled something incoherently as he impatiently tapped his foot on the floor. But after doing it for about thirty seconds he stopped and burst out laughing. "What's so funny Sonic?"

"Just laughing at myself. Have nothing else to do," He sighed and calmed down. Amy nodded and continued to eat, but now at a reasonable pace.

Pink finished about five minutes later and stood up. Sonic paid the bill and left a nice tip before leaving as well. They took off sprinting to the golf course, set in a quiet area. "Man, this is a cool spot out here!" Sonic said, taking in the fresh air of the golf course.

He'd never been in it, but merely seen while he was on a run of his one day. Since then, which was a month or two ago, he'd wanted to get out and was excited to be there.

While Sonic looking around, Amy scanned the area quickly as well, trying to figure out if she had seen it before. At last she concluded that she hadn't.

"Me neither."

"Well, let's go to the store and buy some golf clubs and then come back." Sonic turned, but Amy stopped him.

She hadn't been to the particular course they were at, but, from her experience at the couple other golf courses she had been to, she knew better then to just buy clubs.

"Sonic, just go into the little building there. You can rent, clubs, balls and anything you need to golf with."

"Oh, really? How do you know?"

"Cause I have golfed before, believe it or not," She smiled and looked Sonic down.

Right away it was obvious. He'd never been golfing before. She got excited a little by the prospect of being her hero's instructor if he needed one.

"OK, then let's go!"

Sonic began to think a little bit. After buying a large lot of land and then hiring a contractor to build it, he needed to take it easy on the spending. Thinking about what would be reasonable enough for him to buy and what was too much, he made his way in.

After making it inside the little structure, Amy stepped up to the desk. Sonic sighed in relief at not needing to spend the money, but also felt bad about the situation. He didn't want to have to practically beg Amy to pay for more stuff then she should. Seeing that Amy kne what she was doing, Sonic marched over to a vending machine and got a couple cheap waters.

Amy explained to the woman behind the counter that she was there with Sonic and that they would both like a set of clubs and balls. The woman handed two bags full of many clubs, 10 at least.

"Thanks," Amy smiled and picked hers up, also grabbing a bag of tees.

Sonic put two bottles of water inside his and two inside Amy's and took his bag. The two walked out and started making conversation on their way to the course.

"So," Sonic started, "what have you been up to lately?"

"I don't know. Up until a couple days ago when this house project started It's been a reasonably lazy last couple of weeks, which is why I'm excited to help you work on this house. But yeah, I guess some of that is thanks to the new Xbox 360, I've been trying that out, but still, I've had plenty of times where I could've chosen to go out and didn't."

"Fair Enough. I've been just about the opposite," he laughed a little, "Really busy couple of weeks for me, including a meeting about a law. I don't have any clue as to why I was needed, I swear, because the only thing I really had to say was 'yes.'"

Amy laughed at the thought of Sonic sitting at a meaningless meeting, saying nothing for the whole thing, and then in the last minutes, saying yes. "What do you expect? You're the hero!" Amy joked.

By then they had reached the opening tee.

"Ladies first." Sonic smiled.

The truth was he'd never been golfing before and he was hoping he'd figure out a lot based on watching Amy, who seemed to have been out to the course a couple times before. She stood still and looked ahead of her, eying the par 4 ahead of her. Taking, a deep breath she began her backswing, then started pulling the club back down. The club made contact with the ball and sent the little white object in the air.

"Wow, nice." Sonic let out, watching the ball sail through the air.

"Thanks," Amy smiled and saw it land on the fairway far way ahead of them, "Your turn."

Sonic took out the club, labeled driver, from his set in the bag. He pushed down his tee into the earth and then put a ball on top of his. He looked at the course, then his ball. He got set and pulled the club back, then with all the force he could muster pulled it forward. The only problem with the shot was that he missed, and he almost fell over doing it. That was embarrassing.

"That was weird." He shrugged and got back up to try again.

Amy was trying to contain her giggles, but it was difficult. He looked so unorthodox with his swing. He tried again. He took just as hard a swing and ending up missing again. Sighing, he decided to try a lighter swing. This one worked, but only went about ten yards in front of them before it hit the edge of the fairway.

"There you go Sonic! That was a nice shot." The hedgehog tried to encourage him. However, Sonic knew that it was really two misses and a pretty lousy shot.

They walked ahead to make their second shots. "Farthest back shoots first." Amy motioned towards Sonic's ball.

Sonic took the driver back out and got ready to try again. This time he made contact with his first shot, but the ball went straight into the rough and hit a tree. However, by some kind of miracle, it hit the tree's trunk and bounced right onto the fairway a reachable distance from the green.

Amy pulled out one of the irons and took the shot. The ball went up high, then came back down to earth, hitting the rough behind the green.

"Ah! Too much." Amy put the club back and walked towards her ball's location.

When Sonic got to his, he was ready to pick out a sand wedge, but realized something. He'd forgotten his clubs.

"I'll get them." He quickly ran back and got them. Sonic pulled out the sand wedge and got ready. His shot flew way deep and way right from where it was supposed to be. It landed in some pretty heavy rough. "Dang it."

Because his shot was behind Amy's, Sonic got the pleasure of going again. He got ready and swung. The ball went about five feet, getting out of the think grass and into the rough that wasn't quite as heavy.

Still, being behind the pink hedgehog's ball, he had to go again. This time his shot got him onto the green, but not quite as close to the hole as one would want. "Good enough, it's on the green."

Next was Amy's turn. She took out her small distance club and shot for the pin. Her swing looked good, the result was even better. The ball landed right by the hole, looking like it would turn out to be an easy putt.

Obviously, Sonic's ball was further and he got the pleasure of putting first. He took a good amount of time 'analyzing' the green and setting up his shot. By analyzing, he meant eating the grass, walking up and down his the green to figure out if there were any slopes, and some other shenanigans that I can't really explain. After it all he started to swing. The putt went forward, a dart right at the hole.

Clunk. Sonic put his hands in the air and took a bow. "Oh yeah!"

Amy laughed and allowed him to take his ball out before setting up for her easy putt. It went in with a similar clunking sound. She dropped the club and put her hands in the air, imitating Sonic. She took a bow. "There we go!"

Sonic laughed at the mock. "That was fun Sonic, I'll have to do it more often."

With that they made their way to the next hole, deciding against using a golf cart.

The day went by pretty fast as the two golfed it out. It was about 4 o'clock. However, they were worn out after their 18-hole round. They smiled to each other at the end of it. It was probably a good idea they didn't keep score, cause Sonic probably doubled her. But they had fun, and that's all that really counted.

"OK Sonic, thanks for the round, I had a great time," Amy smiled after they returned their clubs.

"Me too, I'm glad it worked out. I will be better next time, hopefully."

"Alright, I can't wait."

Sonic grinned.

"Well, I'm gonna go back to my house. I need to shower and clean myself up. I take it we'll just call it a night, eh? You won't come over to my place?"

"Nope, sounds good. I need to freshen up a bit, too." Amy smiled, "OK Sonic, bye."

"Bye, see you again soon!" Sonic took off.

Amy was left, standing there, in a daze. She couldn't believe it. Not just today, eating out again and playing golf, but the whole thing. She sighed dreamily and thought of everything that had happened, only to wonder what would happen next
