The moon lights our path as me and Amy walk through the woods and toward our houses. "Hey Sonic?" she says. I look at her,

"Yea?" I answer. She turns to me and i see a faint trace of mischief in her eyes,

"Do you think Shadow likes me?" she says. I hear a screeching sound in my mind as i halt to a stop. I look at her and frown,

"Uh, what?" I ask. She continues walking on,

"I mean, he called me beautiful and he was staring at me a lot," she says, and looks up at the sky, "and he's funny and nice and.." She continues speaking but i refuse to listen. my heart can't take it and neither can my mind. After a bit more walking, i finally look at her,

"Why did you ask ME that? Of all people?" I say. She shrugs,

"Because you are the closest person at the moment and i had to get SOMEONE elses' opinion." she says.

"Well here's my opinion. No." i say. She looks at me.

"What? why?" she asks. I shrug and walk faster,

"I don't know. Just because, okay?" i say. Amy grabs my jacket sleeve and turns me around. Instead of anger, i see amusement on her face.

"Are you jealous Soniikuuu?" she asks. I'm so glad it's dark out or else she would've seen the blush cross my face.

"NO!" I say and pull away from her. I walk even faster.

"Sonic why are you so mad?" Amy yells. From her panting, i can tell I'm walking too fast so i slow down.

"Because why do you like Shadow? Of all people?" i ask. Amy catches up to me and now she's looks a bit peeved.

"Why do you care so much?" she asks. And i abruptly stop in my tracks, making her bump into me.

"Because MAYBE Amy, just MAYBE..!" I yell and then hesitate. Should i...? I sigh and then look down, "Maybe I like you." I whisper. Amy's head shoots up and she's staring at me with the most intense expression.

"What did you say?" she asks. As if on cue, a clap of thunder vibrates through the air, followed by bright lightning. The rain starts coming down by the bucket-fulls.

"C'mon!" I yell, and grab Amy's arm. We start running through the downfall, trying to avoid tripping and running into trees. As we run another loud BOOM echoes throughout the air and a crack of lightning blinds us. Startled, we both fall and then i hear it. The loud creaking sound that means a tree is about to fall over. I look up and Amy is right in it's path. "AMY!" I yell. she looks up and her eyes go wide. She sees the tree falling but doesn't move!

I get up and push her out the way, but i got scratched by a tree branch right above my eye. We land in some mud and we both groan. I tentatively touch above my eye and flinch. Ouch. Blood is pouring from the wound, making it extremely difficult to see. I push Amy up and we continue running through this hell. We make it to my house and i fumble for my keys. I finally get it in the keyhole and open the door. We tumble inside and i slam the door shut. I collapse on the floor and my oe good-eye starts getting blurry.

I see Amy's worried face. She's saying something, but i don't know what. She leans down and kisses my forehead before i black out.
