Can't Outrun Feelings

Amy's cottage sure was a beautiful place. A small and simple home, loving and inviting. Flowers surrounded the building and almost completely covered the garden beyond the white fence and gate. A cobble stone pathway led up to the pink wooden door. It was a serene, quiet place.

BOOM!

What sounded like a small explosion coming from the house, shook the whole area in a mini earthquake. Amy Rose threw open her kitchen window, coughing violently as smoke began seeping out from behind her before it rose up into the sky and out of her kitchen. With most of the smoke now cleared, Amy made her way back into her kitchen, smirking as she looked at the small chamber pot that was bubbling away on her stove.

"I guess I used a little too much there." Amy coughed one last time before using a wooden spoon to stir the mixture. The clear liquid soon turned a bold shade of blue and Amy knew her work was just about done. She switched off the stove and left the liquid to cool for a few minutes, casually leaning against the counter and humming to herself as she waited.

This was it. This would win her Sonic's heart once and for all. This had to be the best plan she had ever come up with. It had been a while since she had taken part in the mystical arts to this extent, but she was confident that this would work.

Using a ladle, she carefully scooped some of the potion out and placed it in a cup ready for her to drink. She stared at it for a few seconds before she took a deep breath and brought it up to her lips. The liquid tasted foul and very bitter so she downed the whole thing as fast as she could. It burned slightly as it made its way down her throat and her stomach immediately began cramping. Once she finished, she doubled over in pain and her vision began to go blurry. The cup smashed on the tiled floor as she dropped it, before she too collapsed onto the floor with a thud and everything went black.

.

Amy groaned as she reluctantly opened her heavy eyelids. Her body felt weird, tingly almost as she slowly pushed herself up. Her head felt a little heavy, but at least her vision was beginning to clear. She had no idea how long she had been lying there passed out. She sighed when she took notice of the shattered cup on the ground, but decided to ignore it for now. Testing the results of her potion were far more important at the moment. Dragging herself to her front door, she continued to wobble slightly as her body slowly woke up. She opened her front door and sighed with relief as the fresh air greeted her. The sun was lower in the sky, indicating it was later in the afternoon as opposed to morning when she started brewing the potion.

Her body finally woke up and Amy smiled as she braced herself to start running. She then bolted as fast as her legs could carry her. Within a few seconds, she had travelled miles. The world around her blurred as she pushed her speed towards the sound barrier and she screamed in happiness that it had actually worked.

Pushing her legs faster, the world around her suddenly went silent. She was now running faster than the speed of sound. She was running at sonic speed. Amy laughed as she continued running around, weaving through trees and jumping over rocks. It truly was exhilarating; no wonder Sonic loved it so much. Her legs never once got tired and she felt like she could keep this up forever. In fact, she'd be happy to do so. The wind felt amazing as it whipped through her quills.

Now she could finally catch up with Sonic. He could no longer run away from her.

Speaking of which, Amy smirked when she caught sight of the blue hedgehog running along the outskirts of the city of Station Square. Easily catching up to him, she began running next to him. He didn't seem to notice her at first and she giggled.

"Hi Sonic." She greeted.

Sonic turned to look at her and smiled in a friendly way. "Oh, hey Amy." He greeted back before looking forwards again. His green eyes then suddenly went wide as he did a double take. "AMY?!" He shrieked, no longer paying attention to where he was running. He tripped over a large rock, face planting the floor, causing Amy to skid to a sudden stop and run back to help him up.

Amy giggled as she held onto his hand and helped him stand up again. "Careful Sonic."

He stared at her, his eyes wide in shock and confusion. "But…I…how…what?!" Was all he could gasp out.

Amy laughed louder as Sonic reached down to pinch his own arm.

"This is a dream, this has got to be a dream." He muttered to himself which only made Amy laugh harder.

"Nope, this isn't a dream Sonic." She explained. "I can now run as fast as you can."

"Impossible." Sonic gasped out, his face turning slightly paler.

Amy shook her head. "Not to me it isn't."

Sonic stumbled back slightly before his eyes scanned her up and down in complete shock. This couldn't be happening to him. This all just had to be a dream. No one could be as fast as him. Let alone Amy Rose. Of all people. No. No no no no. This couldn't be happening!

"Hey Sonic, are you ok?" Amy asked, her voice full of concern as Sonic looked like he was about to pass out.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." Sonic managed to squeak out before he slowly fainted backwards into the grass.

.

"Will he be ok Tails?" Sonic heard Amy's voice ask from far away.

"Oh yeah, he'll be fine." Tails replied, sounding like he was trying hard not to laugh.

Sonic began to open his eyes.

"See?" Tails said as both he and Amy gathered around him.

Sonic sighed with relief as he quickly sat up, realised he was back in Tails' workshop and laughed. "You guys would not believe the crazy dream that I just had. I dreamt that Amy was as fast as I was. Can you believe it?" He laughed, but Tails and Amy didn't laugh with him. Tails' eyes held amusement though while Amy's ears flattened in frustration.

"That wasn't a dream Sonic." Amy said and Sonic stopped laughing.

"No." He replied, shaking his head in denial. "It has to be. No one is faster than me."

"Well you better believe it Sonic." Tails chuckled. "I don't know how she managed it, but she did."

"Just try and run away from me now Sonic." Amy winked.

Sonic looked like he was about to pass out again, but managed to remain conscious as he glared up at her.

"Oh really? Well shall we put this new speed of yours to the test?" He challenged.

Amy's ears perked up and she smirked at him. "Ok, let's make a bet out of it." She suggested.

Sonic watched her curiously as she thought for a moment.

"If I win, you have to take me out on a date." Amy said, raising her hand as Sonic was about to protest. She then added, "And if you win, then I'll stop romantically pursuing you."

Sonic's eyes widened slightly in shock at the stakes she had presented him with. It was very tempting and he was confident that he would win, so why not humour the girl and accept her challenge. Not that it would really be that much of a challenge to him. He then smirked at her.

"Alright, you're on." He said determinedly as he reached out to shake her hand.

Amy placed her hand and gave it a firm shake.

.

"Ok, racers, take your places!" Tails yelled as he held up a flag.

Sonic and Amy stood next to each other, both of them smirked at one another before turning their attention straight ahead at the circuit that Tails had quickly created for them. Knuckles and Cream both laughed from the side lines as they had arrived to watch this interesting and unusual event.

"On your marks…get set…GO!" Tails shouted and waved his flag.

Both Sonic and Amy zoomed off and weaved around the course neck in neck. Sonic stared at her in shock and quickly sped up, realising this might be a bit trickier than he thought it would be. Amy too increased her sped, smirking and waving at him as she ran passed and Sonic growled, speeding up again. He couldn't believe this. He refused to accept it. There was no way he was losing this race.

The world around them blurred as they dodged trees and rocks and turned another corner, ready for the final straight sprint for the finish line. Sonic pushed his legs harder, running passed her once again and winking at her as he did so. Amy frowned and Sonic laughed as the finish line was in sight. There was no way she could beat him now. This race was his. Then she would leave him alone.

But...did he want her to leave him alone? For some reason his heart clenched painfully tight in his chest at the thought and it felt like his stomach was going to drop out of his body. A lump formed in his throat that he just couldn't swallow. The thing was, he liked it when he chased her. The thrill he got from it and the fact that she could almost keep up, even before now. He liked the challenge of it. The reality of the situation was now crushing him. Beforehand, he may have been eager to get her off his tail, but now the prospect was literally right in front of him...he couldn't do it. No. He couldn't bear it if Amy left him alone.

Slowly, unnoticeable to those watching, he pulled back slightly. Amy however continued speeding onwards, zooming by his slowing form and crossing the finish line.

"Amy wins!" Tails yelled and everyone began cheering. Sonic crossed the finish line seconds later. He knew he could've easily run the race with Amy's lack of experience, but he was willing to admit to himself that his life would be empty without her constantly following him around.

As much as a blow to his pride this would appear to be, he didn't honestly care. As far as he was concerned now, Amy would keep chasing him and he was more than happy with that thought. His life would feel empty otherwise. He'd feel lost without her constantly following him around.

Knuckles came up behind him and smacked him on the back. "Looks like you owe Amy a date now, lover boy."

"YES!" Amy yelled happily before running over and grabbing him by the hand. "Come on Sonic, let's go!"

Sonic couldn't help it as he sighed with relief, willingly letting Amy drag him away while the others watched and laughed.

"You can't run from your feelings now Sonic!" Knuckles yelled at their retreating forms.
