Snow. It seemed normal, but there was too much of it. Amy breathed heavily on the iced window, making a small transparent circle in the center. She then grabbed her sleeve and started to rub the ice off of the window.
Amy gazed longingly at the snow, wanting to feel it in her soft pink hands. She yearned to roll around in it and make snow angels. She wanted to catch snowflakes on her tongue and she wanted to kiss someone while the white angelic snow fell overhead.
But sadly, she didn't have that special someone. Not anymore. As of yesterday.
Only a few days ago, Sonic had professed his feelings for her. He was unsure and uncertain, but he knew he felt something for her which was all Amy needed. What a naive girl.
Sonic was a player. The top of the food chain. A male pig. He was the most popular guy at school. He had friends, a family, money, a sports career, and girls swooning all over him. And he enjoyed that, Amy thought for the most part. And then she came to school.
Amy, the shy new girl coming from another school. She had friends over there, and even a boyfriend. She was the head cheerleader and popular. But back at her old school, no one was mean and snobbish or even a bitch like the girls here. And she hated it.
The only reason why she moved was because she was kicked out of her house with her mom. She came home from school one day and found her mother on the brick steps leading up to her house. Her mother was sobbing quietly, but loud enough for Amy to see. Amy ran over to her mother and rubbed her back soothingly.
"What's wrong?" She suddenly remembered how to speak.
Her mother didn't say anything. Instead, she pointed up to the door. Amy followed her mother's finger and saw the sheet attached to the door. In big red bold letter, the words EVICTION stood grimly. Amy's hands started shaking, while a shiver ran through her body. Eviction? Where was she supposed to go?
A loud sigh escaped Amy's lips. She immediately regretted thinking about that day. It was one of the three worst days of her life. Another one was yesterday. Last night, she discovered the guy she liked was at Sally's stripping party and lied to her about. And this was two days after her told her he liked her a lot. He must have really liked her.
She slammed her fist against the window, crying out in pain. She was a fool for believing him. Believing she could change his ways. Make him a whole new person. And it worked for a little bit. He was sweet and caring, and not to mention romantic. He was as cool as…
Johnny Lightfoot.
Her boyfriend of one year. Their one magical year before she was kicked out of her house and moved far away. They had decided before leaving not to hold each other back. It was best to break up and that they should see other people. Which was smart, she told herself at first. Now thinking about him again, her stomach twisted in knots wishing she was back home with him.
She got up from her position, and walked into the kitchen. Memories flooded her.
"Honey, ready for your first day of school?"
"Yes Daddy." Amy cheered with a smile before leaping into her Dad's arms. He chuckled and placed her down in the chair for her to eat breakfast.
Amy gazed over at her mommy and laughed when her mom made a silly smile at her. Younger Amy watched her Mommy kiss Daddy goodbye.
Amy suddenly pondered a thought and spoke, "Mommy, are we always going to be a family?"
"Of course Sweetie. Forever and ever." She said with a smile before kissing Amy's nose.
"Bye Daddy!" Amy said before walking out the front door with her Mommy for her first day of school.
Amy winced, trying not to cry. She gazed at the empty table in front of her. Ever since her Dad passed away, they've never been a real family. Her mom was always working. She had to work three jobs for crying out loud! And Amy tried to babysit neighbors when she could to earn money and pay off the rent. It was a lot of work. And sometimes, after returning from school, she found her mother passed out on the couch.
Mrs. Rose answered the door with Amy at her heel, tugging on her dress. Two men dressed in camouflage stood at the door. One held a white flag and the other was holding out his hand. Enclosed in his pal, was a silver necklace.
"No. No. No." Mrs. Rose choked over and over again. She began to weep.
"Mommy, why does that scary man have Daddy's necklace?" Amy asked with wide eyes. The man handed her the necklace.
Amy held onto her silver chain tightly. Tears fell from her eyes when she thought about that day. What a great birthday. She gazed down at the dog tag attached to the chain. It read in engraved letters: Robert Rose: Knothole Resistance
He fought in the war against Robutnik, and died trying to kill him.
Amy sobbed loudly, and finally collapsed on the floor where she continued to cry. She wiped away her tears, and stumbled to get up. She reached for the kitchen phone and started dialing a number. After a few rings, a male voice picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, its Amy. Can we meet?"

"Bet you fifty bucks Sonic can't get that girl into his pants tonight."
"Oh really? I bet I can." Sonic said with a grin before looking at where his buddy was pointing.
She was a tan bunny with blonde long hair and icy blue eyes. She looked like she was in college and she was a hell of a slutty dancer. Just another playful whore. Sonic licked his lips when he gazed at her curvy body. Sonic looked over at his football buddies.
"You're on. This shouldn't take long." Sonic said as he scooted himself out of the bar stool and approached the dance floor with a smooth stride.
"Come here often?" He asked the bunny huskily as he took a hold of her hips.
"All the time. What about you hedgehog?" She asked me slyly.
"Nope. I just had a sense a gorgeous girl would be dancing on the dance floor. And lucky me, you caught my eye beautiful."
"And what do you plan on doing with this beautiful girl?" She asked flirtatiously, batting her eyelashes.
"Give her a good time." Sonic replied cockily.
"And you think you could do that?"
"Think? I know. And what do you go by beautiful?"
"Names Ashley. You?"
"Sonic, the hedgehog." Her eyes widened and her lips curved into a wicked smile.
"The fastest thing on the planet?" She asked, impressed.
"Universe, but yeah. And not only running." He said with a wink.
And with that, Sonic placed his hand on the lower part of her back. He led the bimbo out the door.
"You're going to lose that bet." Knuckles told Victor. Victor pouted and took another swig of his beer.

"I'm glad you showed up, Jet." Amy said with a sad smile as she hugged him.
"Anything for you Amy. What did you want to talk about?" Jet asked her as they sat on the bench at Station Park.
Amy glanced down at her clammy hands and then turned to look at Jet, who looked sincere.
"You're not going to try anything on me right?" Amy asked him curiously.
He laughed and shook his head. "No. I want us to be friends though." He scooted closer to her and whispered, "Spill."
Amy told him about her Dad passing away, getting kicked out of her house, moving here, and her feelings toward Sonic. As she spilled, he looked at her intently, really listening and waited for her to finish before chiming in.
"Sounds like you've been through shit."
Amy started laughing. She shook her head yes and grinned. "Anything else?"
"Your Dad passed away Amy. That's a big deal. You shouldn't feel bad that you're still not over it. He's your Dad…and always will be. As for getting kicked out, that's terrible especially after your Dad died. You could try and talk to your mom about quitting a job and then getting one yourself."
Jet snapped his fingers. "I've got it! I work at the smoothie shack. And there's a position open. Want to apply?"
Amy's face lite up. She nodded frantically. "That be great Jet! Thank you so much."
"Let's go then and see if I can convince the ole bird brain." Jet said helping Amy get to her feet. She laughed as she held onto Jet's chest. He took off into the air with Amy.

Sonic watched as Ashley straddled him. He grinned at her as they started to make out with heated kisses. In the back of his head, he was telling himself to stop, but Sonic was too into the kiss.
A picture of Amy fluttered into his head. She was running with him, hand and hand, in the snow. She was smiling and laughing. Her laughter echoed like bells ringing through the air. Sonic laughed with her and tackled her to the ground. She landed on top of him with a smile. She leaned down and kissed him.
"Amy."
"No, I'm Ashley." She moaned in his mouth, with annoyance.
Sonic pushed her gently off and stared at his feet. Amy. Amy Rose. His Amy.
"What did you say Amy?"
"I said my name is not Amy. It's Ashley." She said, glaring evilly at him.
Realization hit Sonic. He was about to screw around with a dimwitted bunny bimbo. He wasn't going to spend his time on her. He needed someone smart, charming, sweet, and not to mention cute. He threw on his jacket and headed for the door.
"Where are you going? This is so not a good time to walk out." She complained.
"I'm sorry. You're great." He lied.
"But…there's someone else." Sonic said lovingly, thinking about Amy again. This time Amy was telling him off in front of his friends.
"Fuck." Sonic muttered under his breath. It wasn't a dream or thought. Amy had seen him last night screwing around at Sally's party. And she did tell him off and leave him in the middle of the street. Sonic slammed the door behind him and raced off to Amy's house.

"You mean…I got the job?" Amy asked excitedly.
"Welcome to Java Smoothie…whatever. Yeah, you got the job. Congrats." The gray haired bird said with no emotion.
Amy clapped happily and hugged Jet. "I've never been a Smoothie tender or paid to sing for fun!"
Jet let her go and messed her quills up. "Congrats Pinkie."
"Pinkie?" Amy asked with amusement.
"Your new nickname." Jet said, adding in a shrug.
'Ames is cuter' Amy thought to herself, but pushed that to the back of her mind.
"Then I should come up with one for you. How about…Flapper?"
"That's all you could come up?" Jet asked with a chuckle, which made Amy laugh at her nickname.
"Yep. It's as good as Pinkie, Flapper." Amy said with a smile as they exited the smoothie place.
"Okay Pinkie. Whatever you say. Want me to fly you home?"
Say no Amy. Say it. Say it. "Sure Jet." Way to go.
As they flew home, Amy laughed at the funny stories Jet had to tell. Eventually, she told funny stories about her life which they snickered about.
When Jet swooped Amy down to her door, they sat on the steps leading up to it. Amy looked over at Jet.
"I was wrong about you." She finally said.
"Oh really? What did you think of me before?" Jet asked her mockingly.
"I thought you were an annoying flirt, just as bad as Soni-…you know."
"Yeah, I do. Everyone compares me to him." He said bitterly. Amy reassured him by placing a hand on his shoulder. He looked over at her.
"You're not like him. You're funny and sweet." Amy felt herself blush.
Jet grinned. "And you're sexy and cute."
"I take that back Flapper. You're still a flirt." Amy said as she punched his shoulder gently.
He pretended like it hurt. "Jeez Amy. I take that back. You're strong. I need a bodyguard to keep you away." He said jokingly.
"That's right Flapper. Or I'll kick your ass all the way back to school." She said with a grin.
They laughed and then Amy looked intently at Jet. "What is it?" he asked her.
"It's nothing." She said as she pulled back with a blush.
"You know…you're cute when you blush." He pointed out. Amy turned red and he laughed.
"Jet, stop it." She said, but couldn't keep a smile from appearing.
"Seriously. What were you staring at?"
"Your eyes. I never noticed how pretty they were." Amy replied quickly. She later felt stupid about what she had just said.
"Not as gorgeous as your emerald green eyes." Jet said, leaning in closer. Amy followed his lead.
"We're friends right?" Amy asked before their lips were an inch away.
"Or something more." Jet said before kissing her softly. Amy swore that for a brief second, she saw a figure behind her.
Sonic stood there, unable to move. The beautiful flowers slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a plop. No matter how much Sonic told himself to move, he couldn't. It was as if his feet were planted to the ground. He was shocked that he was actually viewing Amy and Jet kissing.
The shock soon turned to anger. He curled his hands into fists and his face turned into the shade of red. Sonic took a few steps forward to throw Jet off of Amy, but then he stopped himself. Amy looked happy which made Sonic crumble into sadness. He took one last look at the two, and sped off.
Amy, realizing it was Sonic who saw them, pulled away from the kiss as quickly as possible. She ran out the driveway to see if she could explain to him, but she didn't follow him.
"I don't have to explain anything to that hedgehog." Amy muttered as she picked up the roses. Pink. For love. Amy saddened at the thought, wishing Sonic could have apologized to her.
Confused about her feeling, she ran past a puzzled Jet and into her house. She slammed the door after her. Amy bent down and smelled the roses which made her frown. The smell of a broken heart.
