The next day began at Station Square. Amy was the first to wake up at 5:30 am. She tried to go back to sleep, but felt like getting up. Amy wears her Nike sports outfit. She then ties her hair/quills in a bun. Amy eats her breakfast and goes to the Anthony gym since she knows Serena goes to the gym by 6 in the morning.
As she got there, Amy waited for ten minutes until Serena arrived.
Serena was wearing her green and black under armor outfit with her hair/ quills tied in a French braid.
"Morning Serena" Amy said.
"Morning Amy what are you doing here, class doesn't start in a hour" Serena asked.
"Just want to practice, the tournament is a few days away" Amy said.
"Okay" Serena said as she opens the gym and enters inside, along with Amy.
Amy was wearing black MMA gloves, punching the punching pads that Serena was holding.
"Very good Amy, keep at it" Serena said.
Amy was breathing within every blow.
Amy then did a powerful kick in each pad.
"Whoah that kick was powerful" Serena said.
"Thanks" Amy said.
After punching the pads, Amy was taking a sip of her water. Amy then goes up to Serena.
"Hey Serena do you want to spar with me please" Amy asked.
"Sure, do you want me to go easy beginning or master hard on you?" Serena asked.
"Master hard, I'm in for a challenge" Amy smirked.
"Alright then" Serena smirked back.
Amy and Serena were at the mat floor, getting reading to practice their combat. Amy was wearing red protective gear while Serena was wearing black protective gear.
"Remember, if you are getting hurt, just let me know or tap out" Serena said.
Amy nodded.
The two started to circle each other. Amy and Serena charged at each other as they exchanged and blocked each other's blows. Amy received a strong punch and landed on the floor, but she was not going to let that slow her down as she quickly rolls back up on her feet and continues to spar with Serena.
Serena managed to take Amy on the ground and tries to pin her, but Amy gets out of her grip as the two wrestled. Amy and Serena gets back up on their feet and continues to exchange and block each other's blows. Amy grabs Serena and gently knee kicks her. She then throws Serena to the mat ground and grabs and pulls her arm in submission.
"Okay that's enough Amy" Serena said as she taps out.
Amy lets go of Serena as she gets back up.
"Great job Amy, that's the first time anyone has defeated me" Serena said as Amy helped her up.
"Thanks, and that was awesome, I think I'm ready" Amy said.
"You sure are" Serena said.
A while later, Sonic and the gang arrived at the Anthony gym for more practice, as well as everyone else who came for the Serena's classes.
"Hey Sonic" Serena said.
"Hey Serena, me and my friends want to train here in your gym and this should cover for four days" Sonic said as he handed Serena one hundred and thirty-five dollars.
"That's a lot of money, are you sure it's worth it?" Serena asked.
"Never been sure" Sonic said, his friends nodded.
"Okay, thanks" Serena said as she takes the money, puts it in her office, and comes back.
"Alright everyone, time for an MMA session" Serena called out.
Everyone in the gym lines up to follow Serena's instructions.
"Now, jab, jab, upper cut, upper cut, elbow, elbow, kick" Serena said as she physically demonstrated while everyone followed physically.
After MMA session was over, everyone was working out, lifting weights, punching bags, and sparing each other. .
"Hey Ames, do you want to spar with me" Sonic asked.
"Oh uh I was going to ask Serena to spar with me again" Amy said.
"It's fine Amy, we already spared and you did great, plus if you want to spar with Sonic, go for it, I'll just make sure there are no brutal fights here while everyone else spars" Serena said.
"Yeah sure Sonic" Amy said.
Sonic and Amy were wearing their gear on. Sonic in blue and Amy in red. The two circled each other. Sonic tries to punch Amy, but Amy dodges it as she grabs his arm and judo throws him to the ground.
"Oooff" Sonic grunted.
Amy smirked at herself.
"Alright Ames" Sonic said with a smirk as he jumps on his feet.
Sonic tries to tackle Amy, but she moves out of the way and extends her foot to make him trip, falling on his face.
"Oooff" Sonic grunted.
"Come on Sonic, you can do better" Amy said with a grin.
Sonic smirked as he gets up and picks Amy up, gently drops her to the ground to try to pin her down. Amy gets out of his grip and wrestled with him on the ground mat. Amy managed to get on top of Sonic as she pins his arms down.
"Pinned ya" Amy smirked in victory.
"Oh really" Sonic said with a smirk as he tries to roll and flip over to be on top of her, but Amy strongly locked her legs against his, so he doesn't escape or roll her over.
"Nice try Sonic, but you can't escape or roll over that easy" Amy said.
"Fine you win" Sonic said in defeat.
Amy gets off of him. As Amy was up with her back facing him, Sonic grinned and took his chance to get Amy as he runs fast. Amy steps a side and makes him trip again, face planting to the ground mat again.
"Nice try Sonic" Amy said with a smirk.
"Fine, I gotta admit, you are getting really strong Ames" Sonic said as Amy helps him up.
"Thanks the key to defeat your opponent is not through speed, no, but with time and stealth" Amy said.
"Alright everyone, working out is over, time for some yoga" Serena called out.
Everyone followed Serena as she demonstrated yoga to her students.
After doing yoga, classes were over at the Anthony gym.
"Okay everyone, that was a great workout, I'll see you all tomorrow" Serena called out.
Everyone nodded and left to go home.
"Hey Serena, do you want to come hang with us when you're done working at the gym?" Amy asked.
"Sorry, I have to get some groceries and prepare dinner tonight later" Serena said.
"Oh maybe me, Cheese, and us can help you" Cream said.
"Thanks, but Tara is going to help me, why don't you guys go have the day to yourself, I'll pick you guys up around 6:50 tonight" Serena said.
"Okay" everyone murmured in agreement.
"Kay, I'll see you guys later and tonight" Serena said.
After everyone left the gym, Amy and Fiona were about to leave for their apartment until Sonic sped in front of them.
"Hey girls where are you going?" Sonic asked.
"Back to the apartment, we have to find something to wear for dinner tonight at Serena's" Fiona said.
"Oh, well, Amy do you want to hang with me?" Sonic asked.
"You want to hang with me?" Amy asked.
"Of course, I mean you are one of my great friends and will be fighting in the tournament this weekend, so why not?" Sonic said.
"Okay" Amy said.
"Great, we'll return to our places at 6" Sonic said.
"Okay let's go" Amy said as she was about to walk away, but Sonic picked her up in a bridle style.
"See ya guys" Sonic said to his friends as he sped off.
"Okay so what do you guys want to do?" Sally asked.
"Hmmm me and cheese are going to check out the library and book stores, I think I'll find something new in cooking" Cream said.
"Can come with you Cream, I always wanted to see what books Station Square holds" Tails asked.
"Sure, I love some more company with me" Cream said.
"Okay let's go, bye guys, we'll be back at 6" Tails said as he, Cream and Cheese left.
"I'm going to check out the music stores here, see ya back at the hotel guys, I'll be back at 6" Manic said as he was about to leave, but Mina stopped him.
"Wait, mind if I come along Manic, I'd like to see some of Station Square's music stores too, and to hang with you" Mina said.
She really has a crush on the green hedgehog.
"Uh yeah sure I don't mind Mina" Manic said nervously with a blush, he has a crush on the yellow, purpled haired mongoose too.
"Great, see ya guys later" Mina said as she and Manic left.
"They make a cute couple" Sally smirked.
"They sure do" Sonia snickered.
"Well, it's just me and you ladies, I'm going to explore more around the city, I'll be back same time as everyone for dinner tonight" Knuckles said as he left.
"Then it's just us girls, where do girls want to go?" Rouge asked.
"We can go search for something new at the mall" Fiona said.
"Yeah let's go" Sonia said.
Sonia, Sally, Rouge, and Fiona left to go to the mall. On the way, the girls were talking about boys.
"So yeah, Monkey Khan can be cute whenever he acts like a stupid dumb head" Sally said as the girls giggled.
"You guys have someone, I wish I have someone" Sonia said sadly.
"Oh cheer up Sonia, you'll find someone, I don't have anyone yet, you just have to be patient" Fiona said.
"Yeah, I think that green lion Rob is good for you" Rouge said with her seductive smirk.
"What Rob, no no no" Sonia blushed.
"Come on Sonia, you guys look cute together, you're a pianist and he's a pianist, not to mention dancers" Sally said.
"Well, I mean he is kinda a cute and handsome" Sonia said with a blush.
The girls saw someone heading to Ellie's café ahead, it was Rob.
"Look there's Rob" Fiona said.
"Really where?" Sonia said quickly.
"Ha, you like him" Rouge said.
Sonia blushed.
"Come on hun, go talk to him by yourself" Rouge said.
"I don't know I" Sonia was cut off when the girls dragged her and pushed her in the café, bumping her against someone and making the person almost fall.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry" Sonia said frantically.
"It's okay, Sonia, hey" it was Rob.
"Oh hi Rob" Sonia said.
"What are you doing here?" Rob asked.
"Just strolling around, waiting for time to pass for dinner tonight, you?" Sonia asked.
"Just getting some coffee, being alone, my sibs are busy, Cam is working at the acting youth program, and Tara is helping Serena cook for dinner, and waiting for time to pass for dinner tonight" Rob said.
"Oh okay" Sonia said.
Then there was silence between the two.
"Do you want to get some coffee?" Rob asked.
"Sure" Sonia said.
The two go up to the counter.
"What can I get for you two?" the cashier asked.
"I'll have a decaf vanilla creamed coffee" Sonia said.
"I'll have a decaf caramel creamed coffee" Rob said.
"Alright that will be 4.50" the cashier said.
"It's on me" Rob said as he paid the cashier.
"Thanks Rob" Sonia said as she takes her coffee.
"No problem" Rob said as he takes his coffee.
"Hey Sonia do you want to walk with me around the city? I mean I got nothing to do" Rob asked.
"Yeah I love too, so that time can pass until dinner" Sonia said.
"Great come on let's go" Rob said as he and Sonia left the café.
While the two were walking away, Sally, Rouge, and Fiona saw the whole thing and smirked at her. Sonia smirked back and walks with Rob for the day.
"Alright that's three of us, what do you guys want to do?" Sally asked.
"I'm going to find something to wear for dinner tonight, I have too many nice clothes, see ya" Fiona said as she left.
"Then it's you and me, Sal, shall we" Rouge said.
"Yes, let's shall" Sally said as she and Rouge left to go to the mall.
