Boom: Flirty Disaster

"Hey, what's with all the busyness in town today?" Sonic asked Tails who was walking beside him through the busy crowd.

Tails' eyes scanned the area before his eyes finally rested on one of the giant posters on the side of a building. A tall, red, muscular hedgehog grinned at them from the image on the poster, looking very dramatic with explosions in the background and his quills blowing around him slightly.

"Mack the Daredevil." Tails read out loud from the poster. "Looks like there might be some sort of show going on."

"A daredevil huh?" Sonic smirked. "I bet this guy can't handle battling Eggman robots daily."

"No, but he sure seems friendly with Amy." Tails said as he stared straight ahead.

"What?" Sonic gasped in disbelief before following his best friend's gaze.

Sure enough this Mack guy was standing there, leaning over Amy slightly as she giggled at something he said. Sonic's eye twitched slightly at the sight. It felt like something was beginning to claw at his chest. He wanted to push that creep away from Amy. There was just something about him that Sonic didn't like. The red hedgehog was way too close to Amy for his liking. Was there really any need to be that close to her? No. He was obviously a creep and Amy needed his protection in that situation.

"Err Sonic?" Tails questioned as the blue hedgehog marched forward without thinking. "Where are you going?"

Tails had never seen such an expression on Sonic's face before; rage mixed with something else that he couldn't quite place. The young fox didn't like where this was going so he quietly slipped away, not wanting to get involved in such drama. Sonic's green eyes remained firmly locked on Mack and Amy, his hands balling into tight fists as he approached, standing beside Amy, but also just in front of her, as if he was trying to block her from the view of the much taller red hedgehog.

"Oh, hi Sonic." Amy greeted happily, albeit slightly confused.

"So this is the legendary Sonic then?" Mack inquired in a deep voice. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise" Sonic replied dryly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Sonic, this is Mack," Amy introduced, "He's an old childhood friend of mine." She added excitedly.

"Oh yeah?" Sonic huffed.

"Yeah, Amy and I go way back." Mack winked at her and Amy giggled.

Sonic's heart suddenly felt like iron as it dropped into his stomach. Was this creep flirting with her?

"I still can't believe what you do now and the fact that you're here." Amy beamed up at her old friend. "It's been so long since I've seen you."

"Well it pays the bills and why stop if you're good at it." Mack replied.

"I'll say, that show was amazing! The way you leaped through all those small rings of fire! Amazing!" Amy shrieked, bouncing up and down slightly.

Sonic snorted. "Big deal."

Amy shot Sonic another confused look. Why was he behaving so oddly? This wasn't like him. Where was the normal friendly blue hero that she fell in love with? Right now he was coming across as downright rude and mean. As far as she knew, he and Mack had never met each other in their lives, so what reason would Sonic have to be so hostile towards him? It didn't make any sense.

Maybe Sonic just needed to get to know Mack? Perhaps he was paranoid that he might be working for Eggman? That seemed the most likely reason. Once Sonic saw what a great person Mack was, then perhaps he'd lay off and go back to his normal friendly self. It might help if she left them alone to chat for a few minutes. Get to know each other a bit.

"Oh no!" Amy slapped her hand against her forehead in fake shock and annoyance.

"What is it Amy?" Sonic asked immediately on full alert.

"I think I left my purse in the store, I'll just go and get it." Amy lied.

"Oh, well I could get it for you within seconds." Sonic offered.

"Oh no no no, don't trouble yourself, it's my mistake and I should sort it." Amy insisted, smiling widely.

"I guess I'll see you later then Amy." Mack said as he winked before reaching down to pull the smaller pink hedgehog into a tight embrace.

"Yeah." Amy replied returning the gesture, oblivious to Sonic standing and watching them in horror.

This seemed like more than a friendly hug. It was too close. It was lasting too long. The clawing sensation in his chest returned once again, only this time it was way more intense. He didn't fully understand it, but he knew he had to protect Amy from this guy.

"So, you and Amy seem pretty close." Sonic practically snarled out through clenched teeth.

Mack smirked. "Oh yeah, we always have been."

"Fantastic." The blue hedgehog replied sourly.

"So what's your relationship with her?"

"Me? Amy's a good friend." Sonic answered a little too quickly.

Mack's smirk only grew. "Oh really? Is that why you're getting so territorial?"

Sonic nearly choked on his sudden intake of air at Mack's words. His heart rate pounded like a large drum in his chest as if encouraging the primal urge inside him to beat Mack up.

"Why? Worried I'll steal her away from you?" Sonic decided to goad back. There was no way he was letting this Mack guy get the better of him. He was Sonic the Hedgehog and had no time to be bullied and mocked by pathetic so called daredevils. A daredevil who dared to harass Amy. Wow, this stupid red hedgehog must really enjoy pushing his luck if he thinks he could mess with Amy and get away with it, Sonic thought with a smirk. Because there was no way he was letting Amy get hurt by this creep. He was just protective of his friend. He was definitely not being territorial.

Mack shifted slightly, his eyes narrowing before he began leaning over the blue hero, showing off his height advantage. Sonic didn't even flinch. He merely folded his arms as cocky as ever, his smirk still present on his cool and collected features.

"So you think you can steal my girl?"

"Your girl?!" Sonic shrieked, his voice going slightly higher in pitch as his eyes widened. "I don't think so."

"Aha! So you do like her." Mack began grinning again. Sonic then growled as Mack playfully elbowed him. "I'm just messing around with you pal."

Sonic stepped away from the red hedgehog, brushing his arm where he had been elbowed.

"I'm not your pal." Sonic grumbled out through clenched teeth.

"Although Amy is pretty fine looking, I'll admit." Mack said, smirking as he stared off into the distance.

Sonic couldn't begin to explain what happened, but it felt like something inside him just snapped. Hearing someone talk about Amy that way…it felt like something inside him was trying to claw its way out of his chest.

"Stay away from Amy!" Sonic yelled as he tackled Mack to the ground.

Mack growled. "You can't tell me what to do."

He pushed Sonic off him trying to land a clean punch to the face. Sonic blocked his hand though, both hedgehog's glaring menacingly at each other as they both rolled around on the ground, trying to hit and harm the other in some way. Sonic managed to wrestle his other arm free and easily landed a quick punch to Mack's face. Mack gasped out in pain, the force of the punch throwing his head back slightly before he looked up to glare at Sonic once again, ready to attack back.

"Stop it!" A sudden, familiar high pithed scream caught their attention.

Both of them froze and looked up to see Amy hurriedly running towards them, her expression a mixture of shock, anger and worry.

"What do you think you're doing?!" She demanded as she finally reached them.

"Your crazy boyfriend just attacked me!" Mack shrieked.

"You provoked me!" Sonic yelled at Mack.

Mack sighed in annoyance, quickly standing up and marched away. "I'm sorry Amy, but I refuse to hang around your weird friends."

Amy gasped, looking hurt. "Mack please wait, I don't know what's gotten into him, honest" She pleaded before her shoulders hunched slightly in defeat as Mack continued to ignore her, storming off.

Sonic then gulped as Amy abruptly twisted around to glare at him, her eyes becoming emerald flames of seething anger.

"How could you be so stupid and immature Sonic?!" Amy scolded him and Sonic glared up at her.

"Me?!"

"Yes you!" Amy continued to yell. "All you've done since I introduced him is be rude to him for no apparent reason."

"He's an obnoxious creep!" Sonic shouted at her. "He had the wrong idea."

"The wrong idea about what?" Amy demanded.

Sonic looked away awkwardly before growling out, "Nothing."

Amy sighed in frustration. "Sonic, you're acting childish and pathetic. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to find my friend." And with that, Amy quickly turned around and ran in the direction Mack had stormed off in.

Sonic stood there, staring at her retreating form in an absolute state of shock. He couldn't believe what she had just said. She had taken that creep's side over him. The blue hedgehog's heart pulsated painfully in his chest, throbbing against his ribcage like it wanted to escape and spill out onto the cold, dirty ground. And he wished it would. That way he wouldn't have the feel this agonising pain in his chest. He just wanted to detach himself from everything in this moment. It was like Amy had chosen Mack over him. He didn't even stop and question what had just passed through his mind.

With these thoughts, Sonic slowly dragged himself away.

.

"Mack wait!" Amy yelled, slightly out of breath as she raced to catch up with him.

The tall red hedgehog froze and turned around to glare before his angry expression relaxed slightly when he saw it was just Amy.

"Blue Boy not with you?" He demanded, spitting out the nickname as if it tasted vile in his mouth.

Amy shook her head, stopping in front of him. "No, it's just me."

Mack sighed in slight annoyance. "Listen Amy, just go back to him. I wouldn't want to come between anything."

"Come between anything?" Amy shrieked in embarrassment, blushing before laughing nervously. "T-there's nothing going on between me and Sonic. Our relationship is strictly platonic." She let out another nervous laugh.

Mack remained still, looking deep in thought as he stared at the pink hedgehog.

"I came to apologise on his behalf. I hope you're not hurt." Amy's eyes scanned him for any injuries caused by Sonic's out of character act of sudden violence.

"So you're not together hmm?" Mack pressed shifting closer to her.

"No." Amy answered a little slowly, a slight blush on her cheeks.

Mack continued shifting closer. "Then forget all about that lunatic."

"I wouldn't call him a lunatic, he just had a childish moment. Sonic's amazing once you get to know him." She explained.

"Yeah well you don't need people like that." Mack wrapped his arm around Amy's waist, pulling her uncomfortably close.

"Err Mack." Amy tried to push away from him, looking around uncomfortably. "What are you doing?"

"What you've wanted since we saw each other again." He leaned in, attempting to press his lips against hers.

Amy gasped and ducked out of the way, her sudden movement causing him to lose his grip on her in shock. Before Mack had time to react, Amy slapped him across the face.

"Ouch!" Mack cried out. "What was that for?"

"What do you think you're playing at?" Amy shirked in anger.

Mack rolled his eyes. "We both know you want it."

"No I don't!"

"Oh come on baby." Mack moaned as he tried to get close to her again.

"Did my slap not get my point across? Or do I have to hammer this lesson in?" Amy smirked as she summoned her hammer, holding it poised in front of her.

Mack gulped as he took a step back, holding his hands up defensively. "Take it easy."

"You have until the count of three to get out of my sight." Amy growled out. "One…"

"Come on Amy."

"Two…"

"I know you're lying to yourself."

"Three…"

Amy raised her hammer into the air causing Mack to let out a yelp of fear.

"Ok ok, I'm going, I'm going!" Mack cried out as he ran away from the seething pink hedgehog as fast as he could.

.

"Is it just me, or has Sonic been acting kinda weird lately?" Knuckles questioned, scratching his head. Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Sticks all exchanged glances as they sat around the table at Meh Burger.

"Yeah," Tails replied sadly, "I'm really worried about him."

Sticks frowned. "Clearly government agents have sneaked into his house at night and used an emotion ray on him causing him to be sad all the time. That way they can put us in a vulnerable position as we'll have no leader and comrade!"

The other three stared at her with hooded eyes before becoming serious again.

"He's been like this since the other day," Tails noted before turning to Amy, "What exactly happened between you guys?"

Amy bit her lip and gazed down a little guiltily.

"We…may have had a fight." She confessed.

"A fight?"

"Because I caught him and Mack attacking each other." Amy explained a little defensively. "So I told him off…and…yeah…"

The other three sighed.

"Maybe I should go talk to him." Amy confessed.

"You think?" Tails mumbled sarcastically.

However their discussion was interrupted by the sudden screams of the other villagers. The sound of weapons and metal behind them was loud and unmistakable. The four of them turned to see Eggman charging into the village with an army of robots. Eggman himself controlling a giant spider shaped robot, destroying buildings with its long arms as he laughed evilly.

"Come out come out wherever you are Sonic!" Eggman called in a sing-song voice. "What's the matter with you these past few days hmmm? Running scared? I'm not surprised. I am a dashing villain if I do say so myself."

"Eggman!" The gang yelled up, standing upright and ready in a fighting stance.

"Aha!" Eggman shouted happily as he spotted them, instantly waving the robot's arms, ensnaring them in its iron grip, squeezing them tightly. "Wait…where's the blue pineapple? He isn't even with you?"

"He would be if somebody had been more considerate of him." Knuckles snapped in Amy's direction.

"Hey!" Amy yelled. "What I said was a bit harsh, yeah, but he attacked my friend."

"But thanks to you, Sonic has been acting all sad all the time."

"I feel bad enough as it is without you making things worse." Amy growled out.

Eggman sighed, flicking a switch that lowered Amy to the ground, before dropping her. The pink hedgehog managed to catch herself just in time, preventing herself from landing face first in the dirt. She turned and shot a confused look up at Eggman.

"Hey, I'm giving you an opportunity to sort this out." Eggman huffed.

"Why do you care?" Tails asked in shock.

"The battle will be no fun without him I admit so go on before I change my mind."

"Seriously?" Amy gasped.

"Oh yeah sure, I'll wait." Eggman sighed leaning against the metal rim of his mech, looking at his nails.

"And could you hurry it up please!" Tails moaned as he tried to wiggle free.

Amy shot him one last puzzled look at Eggman before running off towards Sonic's beach house. As she approached, she spotted Sonic lounging around in his hammock with a very sullen expression. She knew this wasn't going to be easy. She felt bad about what she had said, but she was still mad at Sonic for attacking Mack like that.

She gulped slightly as she stood in the doorway of his little wooden house. Her presence blocked out the sun causing Sonic to open one eye before bolting upright when he saw who was standing in at the door.

"Amy?" He gasped before frowning. "What do you want?"

"Eggman's attacking the village." She explained before mentally slapping herself at how cold she had unintendedly sounded.

"Yeah, I know. I'm sure you guys can handle it." Sonic sighed, settling back down again.

"No we can't," Amy shrieked, "We need your help."

"Oh so you want my help now huh?" Sonic snapped at her. "What happened to me being childish and pathetic?"

Amy flinched as he repeated what she had said to him in the heat of the moment a few days ago.

"I didn't mean what I said." She whimpered. "Really, I didn't. It's just, you attacked my friend."

Sonic sighed, calming down slightly. "I know. He provoked me. I know I shouldn't have let my temper get the better of me, I just got protective."

"He's my friend Sonic. Has been for years." Amy explained. "Or was anyway."

"Huh?"

Amy sighed. "You were right. Mack was a creep, he tried to come onto me despite me saying no so I threatened him with my hammer. I'm really sorry Sonic." Amy sniffed as she came close to tears.

"I'm sorry too."

Before Amy knew it, Sonic had materialised in front of her and she was in his arms in a tight embrace. She melted into his warmth, wrapping her arms around him in return. It felt good to be near him again. These past few days without him had been painful, whether she was mad at him or not. She nuzzled herself into him and Sonic squeezed her back even tightly, never wanting to let her go.

Both of their eyes snapped open at the same time and they quickly and awkwardly pulled apart. The two hedgehogs blushed, not daring to look each other in the eye before Sonic cleared his throat.

"Ready to kick some Egghead butt?" He asked.

"You bet." Amy smirked back before they both took off together towards where the battle had been left.

As they returned, Eggman still had the others hanging in mid-air as he drummed his fingers impatiently.

"Decided to kiss and make up huh?" Eggman grinned. "Now can we get back to our regularly scheduled programme?"
