Yaaayy a lot of you guys are really liking this story! I am loving it. I don't have much to say so let's get straight to the story.
As soon as Amy finished writing in her diary, she closed it and placed it under her pillow. Within moments of placing her diary away, she heard a knock on her door. She jumped off of her bed and walked to the door. When she opened it, Aleena smiled brightly.
"Good morning Amy! How are you doing?" Aleena greeted, crossing her arms.
"I'm fine. Thanks. Is there anything you need?" Amy asked, staring awkwardly at her.
"Well, I wanted to tell you that I was going off to work and I didn't want you to be left alone. So, I decided you should take a walk around the city or even the neighborhood. I got you a phone so you can stay in contact with me along with the boys." Aleena remarked, handing Amy her phone.
"Wow. Thank you so much. But I'm kind of scared to be on my own." Amy lied.
"Don't be! Just stay aware of your surroundings and you should be okay. Don't go too far though. I'll see you at dinner." Aleena quickly pecked Amy on her cheek and walked away.
Amy closed her door. She sighed and face palmed. "Really Amy? Scared to be on your own? I think that's the biggest lie I've ever told anyone." She was slightly frustrated with herself. She stopped being scared of being alone a long time ago. She lied to herself which hurt her. She shook her head and sat on her bed. She looked down at her phone and grinned.
"My own phone…the only contacts I have are Aleena, Sonic, Silver, and Shadow. I wish I had some other contacts." As soon as Amy said that, she knew what she needed to do. She picked out an outfit from her closet and fixed herself a bit. She ran out the house and began away from the rich neighborhood. She walked down the hill and slowly made her way into the city. Citizens rushed through the streets, bumping into each other.
Amy was pushed around with no apologies. She groaned while trying to escape from the crowd. As soon as she found an escape, she took her chance and successfully left the crowd. She had ran to fast that she didn't realize she had crashed into a door. She took a step back and held her face in pain.
"Great…I am definitely getting a bruise on the forehead later…" She muttered. Amy looked at the sign from the door and was immediately amused. She walked in and admired the store. Her nose sniffed the scent of sweetness.
"Hello! Welcome to Sweets n Treats. Would you like anything?" An employee greeted, waving from the cashier. Amy walked up to the cashier and waved. She then made her way to the display area where all the sweets were stored.
"This looks amazing. I can't decide what to get…" Amy spoke, scanning all her options.
"I definitely recommend the fruit tart. The fruit is very fresh and the yogurt below is just so creamy and sweet." A female voice exclaimed, startling Amy. She turned to the voice and lightly chuckled. A purple cat in what seemed to be the employee uniform shyly smiled at Amy.
"Well, I'll take the fruit tart." Amy nodded, grinning.
"One tart coming up." The cat said, walking towards the tarts.
Amy then walked to the cashier which happened to be the purple cat. Amy took out her wallet and handed the cashier some cash. She then took her fruit tart and was about to leave when she was stopped.
"Hey! I haven't seen you before. Are you new?"
"I am. My name is Amy. Nice to meet you." Amy introduced.
"Likewise. My name is Blaze." Blaze greeted.
"Wait…Blaze as in Silver's best friend?" Amy asked, remembering the conversation back then during dinner.
"Yeah. Wait, how do you know Silver?" Blaze asked.
"He's uh…well my…brother." Amy replied.
"Really? He never told me he had a sister."
"Well, it's because I'm his foster sister." Amy clarified.
"Ah, I see. Well, I'd really like to talk and hang with you. Here, take my number." Blaze took a paper and a pen. She wrote down a few numbers and handed it to Amy. She thanked Blaze and waved goodbye. Once Amy walked out of the store, she sat down on a bench and joyfully ate her fruit tart.
"Oh my gosh…this is so good." Amy silently moaned.
After a couple minutes of eating her fruit tart, Amy took out the paper Blaze had given her and registered her phone number in her contacts. She smiled when she finally gained a new contact. A possible new friend that she secretly and desperately needed.
Amy stood up and continued walking through the busy streets. She saw various stores. Clothing stores, fast food, kid stores, bookstores. There was so much to do and she didn't know where to start. After 20 minutes of walking around, she came across a park. She shrugged and walked towards the park. It was sort of empty which pleased her.
"What can I do here?" She mumbled, eyeing the area. She spotted a homeless lady struggling to stand up. She must've fallen and injured herself. Amy growled when she noticed a few boys laughing and making fun of her. She shook her head and walked up to the homeless lady.
"Excuse me but I don't think it's nice to laugh at someone who is clearly injured. Shame on you kids for not respecting your elders. Go away and do something productive." Amy glared at the kids who ran away. She turned to the lady who was on the floor.
"Here, let me help you up." Amy took her hand out and slowly pulled her up. The lady slightly groaned and quickly sat on a bench.
"Thank you Miss. Clumsy old me tripped on a rock. But I'm so fragile I'm afraid I am no longer strong." The lady sighed, rubbing her arm.
"It's alright. Don't blame yourself. I crashed into a door just a while ago and well, I'm a teenager." Amy laughed.
"I don't know how I can repay you for helping me. Nowadays individuals treat citizens like me as trash. They're rude and mean. It's rare to see teenagers like you especially." The lady smiled.
"No need to repay me. I couldn't just ignore you. That's not how I was raised."
"Well, your parents did a good job raising you."
Amy sadly looked down and nodded. "They sure did." She stood up and beamed. "Well, I have to go. Maybe I'll see you soon. Bye." Amy waved goodbye.
The lady waved goodbye. Amy walked away from the park and sighed. Normally when she talked about her parents, she would be okay. But, with the lady she felt different. Sad. It didn't make sense to her, but then again…nothing in her life ever did. She doesn't remember her parents much and she hates herself for not being able to.
"It's not your fault Amy…don't think it was." Amy whispered, looking down. Her eyes felt watery and this was not what she needed. She wiped her eyes and looked up with a grin. Amy didn't know where to go anymore so she decided it was time to head back home. She gasped when she realized she forgot what streets she had walked on.
"Crap. I made so many turns and stops that I didn't realize I was already lost." Amy groaned and looked down at her phone. Aleena was at work and the boys were still at school. There was no way she was going to interrupt any one of them. She kept walking hoping the time would go by fast. As she was nervously pacing back and forth, she mentally cursed at herself.
Amy was deep in thought that she didn't realize 5 hours had passed. She looked up at the sky and her eyes widened. She looked at her phone. It was already 6 pm. Aleena wasn't home yet but the boys were. She went through her contacts and scanned at the names.
"Who should I call…Shadow? No. Silver? I don't know…he's helped enough. I haven't spoken much to Sonic. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." She nervously gulped, pressing the call button.
"Hello?"
"Sonic…hey…" Amy greeted.
"Amy is that you? How did you get my number? When did you get a phone? Where are you?" Sonic asked.
"Uh…yes it's me. Mom gave me a phone today with your contact along with Silver and Shadow's. Also I think I'm lost." She nervously chuckled.
"Oh gosh Amy. Can you find a street name so I can come and get you?" Sonic asked.
"Sure. The closest street from where I am is called Tennyson."
"How did you get that far into the city? Anyway, don't move. I'll be there in about 5 seconds." Sonic quickly hung up.
Amy stared at her phone and frowned. "5 seconds? What is he talking abo-" A sudden gust of wind hit her, startling her.
"Hiya." Sonic greeted, chuckling.
"H-How did you…"
"You didn't know? I'm the fastest thing alive." Sonic smirked.
"What…" Amy was in awe.
"Let's go home. Mom will be home soon and it's almost dinner. It's Chicken Monday! She makes the best chicken with mashed potatoes." Sonic excitedly explained. Amy laughed. Before she knew it, Sonic had kneeled down.
"What are you doing?" Amy asked.
"Hop on my back. Hold on tight but not too tight." He grinned.
"I'm scared. Will I die?"
"No. With me you won't ever get hurt. Trust me."
Amy slowly got on his back and hugged his neck. She hid her face under his quills. She was scared. She didn't know what to expect.
"Don't be scared. Don't close your eyes. Keep them open." Sonic said, taking off.
Amy began screaming. She tried her best to keep her eyes open but she was struggling. Everything was blurry and she suddenly felt free for a moment. She then began laughing and her eyes beamed with joy. The rush made her stomach do flips. Finally they came to a stop and Sonic slowly placed her down.
Amy felt her legs wobble and suddenly fell. She landed on her bottom and groaned in pain. She tried standing up but she was weak.
"What is wrong with me…?" She asked, holding her head.
"It's normal. What did you think?" Sonic asked, letting her hold his arm for support.
"That was amazing. I've never felt s-"
"Free?" Sonic spoke, raising a brow.
"Yeah. The way everything was a blur and the wind hitting my face. Your speed is amazing." Amy complemented.
"Thanks. I'm glad you think so. Shadow is somewhat fast but I'm faster." He chuckled.
"Is that so?" Shadow asked as he opened the door.
"Yup. Unless you want to race again. But we all know what the results will be." Sonic smirked.
"Annnnd his cockiness begins. Don't mind him Amy. He likes to brag." Shadow rolled his eyes.
"What happened?" Silver asked, peeking through the door.
"Amy got lost and I went to pick her up." Sonic replied, making his way inside with Amy.
"And I am assuming she experienced your speed?" Silver asked.
"Yup. She's going through the effects right now. It'll go away soon."
"So how did you get lost?" Shadow asked, looking at Amy.
"Well, I was being pushed around by the crowd that I didn't pay attention to where I was going." Amy explained.
"Is that a bruise on your forehead?" Silver chuckled, poking the bruise.
"Ow!" Amy cried, swatting his hand away.
"Haha let me get some ice." Silver walked away.
"How did you get that bruise? I didn't notice it." Sonic wondered.
"I ran into a door…" Amy mumbled.
Sonic started laughing along with Silver who was laughing very loudly from the kitchen. Shadow was struggling not to laugh but instead silently chuckled. Amy frowned and crossed her arms.
"It's not funny! It really hurt…" Amy muttered.
"I wish I was there to witness that." Sonic laughed, pretending to wipe a fake tear.
"Me too! I could have brought my camera and taken a picture. Maybe even frame it." Silver joked.
"Hmph! Well, I met someone very interesting today." Amy smirked, eyeing Silver.
"Who?" He asked.
"Blaze." Amy chuckled.
Silver went red for a moment. Sonic let out a small 'ouu' while Shadow raised his brow in amusement. Amy then stood up and winked at Silver.
"I'm going to freshen up. Remember this boys…don't mess with me. Or you'll want to sleep with one eye open." She joked, disappearing from the stairs.
"Having a sister is fun." Silver laughed.
"Very fun." Sonic chuckled.
"I guess so." Shadow shrugged.
