Meanwhile with Sonic and Amy

Sonic and Amy were at the park.

"This is a lovely park Ames" Sonic said.

"It sure is, it's always peaceful and tranquil" Amy said.

"Listen Amy, I'm really sorry for making you angry the other day, saying that you should not compete in the tournament, and me being the hero, I was an idiot" Sonic said with regret as his ears droop down.

"It's okay Sonic, you were only being there for me, and no you are not an idiot" Amy said.

"Thanks Ames" Sonic hugged her.

Amy was surprised, but hugged him back. The two pulled away and continued to walk. Sonic and Amy were walking on the sidewalk of Station Square. As they were walking, Amy saw someone up ahead and was not happy to see. It was Bethany the Hyena, along with her group.

"Oh no" Amy said.

"What is it Ames?" Sonic asked.

Just then Bethany came up to Amy and Sonic.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't pinkie" Bethany smirked evilly.

Bethany's group laughed.

"Hmph, at least I don't show my skin in public" Amy retorted.

Bethany was wearing a pink belly top, a really short white mini skirt, and pink sandals.

"Whatever, who's your handsome boyfriend?" Bethany asked.

"He's not my boyfriend, and this is Sonic" Amy glared.

"Hi cutie, I'm a mixed martial artist, I got to say, your quite handsome and muscular for a blue hedgehog" Bethany flirted.

Sonic was disgusted.

"I'm not your type woman, and for your information, I don't date girls who are too seductive" Sonic said with a glare.

"Whatever, the tournament is in a few days, I hope you're ready to lose" Bethany grinned evilly.

"Hmph, I've been training so hard Bethany, I defeated Serena in a hand to hand combat practice, and she said I am definitely ready" Amy said.

"Really, Serena is just a weak master, she could never get a guy to be with her, she's just a nerd and is too much like her grandma" Bethany said.

Bethany's group laughed

"Don't you ever say that about Serena or her grandmother" Amy said with defense.

"What have you been doing the whole time, I haven't seen you for a while, not that I don't care?" Amy asked sarcastically.

"Oh training really hard at my personal gym at my mansion" Bethany smirked.

"Anyway, I like to stay and chat, but my group and I are going to celebrate for my hard training and upcoming victory this Saturday, ta ta" Bethany said as she and her group left.

"Who is that girl Amy?" Sonic asked.

"That's Bethany, she's a mixed martial artist master almost like Serena, but she is rude, seductive, and challenges anyone to be the best" Amy said.

"Wow" Sonic said.

"Anyway, let's get going" Amy said as she and Sonic continue to walk for the rest of the day until dinner.

Manic and Mina were at the music store, listening to some music.

Manic was looking at some rock albums and listening to their music.

"Woah these are sick, what do you think Mina?" Manic asked and looked at Mina.

Mina was listening Shake it Off as she dances with the headphones in her ears.

Manic chuckled. Mina took the headphones out.

"This song is really amazing, I'm buying the whole album" Mina said.

"Cool, I'm also thinking of buying some rock albums too" Manic said.

After paying for their music, Manic and Mina left the music store.

"That was great, what do you want to do Manic?" Mina asked.

"Hmm, it's already 3, and we have 3 hours left, we can maybe go the park, I heard it's the most tranquil place in Station Square" Manic said.

"Yeah I love too, let's go" Mina said as she grabs Manic's hand.

The two left for the park

Sally and Rouge were at the mall, in Forever 21 store.

"I wonder how Sonia and Rob are doing together?" Sally asked.

"They're probably having a good time together, alone" Rouge snickered.

"Yeah, anyway, I think I found something nice to wear for Serena's dinner" Sally said as she showed Rouge a strapped sky blue dress til her knees with a silver ribbon around the waist, topping up with white flats.

"Nice Sal, I'm thinking of wearing this" Rouge said as she showed Sally a black formal dress strapless dress with long high healed black boots and grey tights.

"Nice Rouge, let's pay our clothes and leave, it's 4 already, so let's enjoy rest of the day" Sally said.

The two paid for their clothes and continued to walk around at the mall and Station Square.

Tails, Cream, and Cheese were at the bookstore, looking at some books.

Cream was reading a dessert cooking book, while Tails was reading the Glass Castle.

"Hmmm these desserts look so good, I think I should try and make them, and see how it turns out, what do you think Cheese?" Cream asked her chao.

"Chao" Cheese replied in yes.

"Okay" Cream said.

"Hey Cream, did you find anything?" Tails asked.

"Yes, this dessert book, I'm going to try and make them, what did you find Mr. Tails?" Cream asked.

"I found the Glass Castle, it's a really interesting memoir and tells the backstory of the author, I can use it and read it for my break time from tinkering, I also found some Technology invention articles" Tails said.

"That's amazing" Cream said.

After the two bought their books, Tails, Cream, and Cheese left the book store.

"That was fun" Cream said.

"Yeah, and it's 5, we have one more hour until dinner time at Serena's" Tails said.

"I can't wait to eat her food" Cream said.

Tails, Cream, and Cheese continue to walk around the city until an hour pass.

Sonia and Rob were at the park. The two were still talking and laughing.

"Wow, so you really frozed in fear at your first piano and dance recital?" Sonia laughed a little.

"Yeah I was so nervous, but I overcame it, as Serena told me 'there's nothing to fear but fear itself'" Rob laughed a little.

"So what kind of dancing can you do?" Sonia asked.

"Swing, Jazz, and ballroom dancing, you?" Rob asked.

"Just ballroom dancing, do you think you could show me swing dancing?" Sonia asked.

"Of course" Rob said as he holds Sonia's hands.

"It's simple, you just move to the left, right, step back, step forward, and arms out" Rob said as he danced with Sonia.

The two were having fun and laughing. Unknown to them, Manic and Mina spotted at them and snickered quietly.

"Those two are having fun" Mina said in awe.

"Yeah, they make a cute couple" Manic chuckled.

"Come on, it's 5:30, we should head back and get ready for dinner" Mina said.

Manic nodded.

Manic and Mina leaves the Sonia and Rob alone, heading back to the hotel.

Rob and Sonia were now ballroom dancing.

After that, the two sat on a bench to take a break.

"That was really nice Rob, you're a good dancer" Sonia said.

"Thanks, so are you" Rob smiled.

Sonia blushed.

"Hey, it's almost 6, we should head back to our places and get ready for dinner" Rob said.

"Yeah, good idea" Sonia said.

"I'll walk with you to your hotel first" Rob said as he and Sonia left to get ready for Serena's dinner.

Sonic and Amy were at the park again, the two were having a time together.

"You're really going to do great at the tournament Ames" Sonic said.

"Thanks Sonic" Amy said.

"Amy, can I ask you something, you don't have to answer if you want to, but why are you still eager to participate in the tournament, even though you fought against some bad guys, people at the club, Serena, and me" Sonic asked.

"Listen I don't want to have another fight with you again but I will tell you, I just want to face new challenges and overcome them in the tournament, when I face another difficult challenge in the future I know I can face it after fighting in the tournament" Amy said.

"Wow, that's really amazing Ames, you're really strong Amy, not to mention attractive" Sonic said slyly at the last part.

"Excuse me?" Amy blushed.

"Amy, please don't leave me again, I care for you, I really do, I'm truly sorry I was a jerk to you, you're beautiful" Sonic said truthfully.

"You really think so?" Amy asked.

"I know so" Sonic smiled softly as he leans in and was about to kiss Amy, but the city clock rang loudly, it was now 6 o'clock. Sonic pulled his head away from surprise.

"Oh look it's 6, we better head back to our places and get ready for dinner" Amy said.

"I'll walk with you" Sonic said as the two left.

"I was so close to kiss her" Sonic thought sadly.
