It's a bit of an out-there prompt, but if it's alright, I'd like to see a short prompt of Sonic and Amy shopping for new sneakers together? (No worries if you can't~)

I shall do my best! :)
Sonic wandered around the store, not liking the smell nor the closed space.
He felt like if he ran now, he'd be sure to crash into something and be forced to buy whatever fell out of place.
He wasn't familiar with shopping… only when it came to chilidogs.
Amy would take him on 'dates' shopping sometimes,… and this just happened to be one of them.
"You're sneakers tore in your last battle with Eggman, right?" She looked down at his shoes.
He immediately avoided looking down at them and just gave a deeper, side-mouth frown and looked up to the right.
It wasn't that she was being annoying or inconsiderate, but Sonic just didn't feel comfortable with… civilian life.
"Alright! I have just the pair!" a woman that Amy was talking to chimed up, clapping her hands.
The action snapped Sonic out of it as he looked ahead, realizing Amy had zipped over to an employee.
He smiled, she was fast in her movements.
He then lost his amusement when he looked down at a little kid, gawking at him, and chewing on a shoe.
He made a face before seeing the boy pull out his phone, showing his screensaver as Sonic.
His face immediately lit up, and he posed for the kid, who took a thousand pictures as Sonic kept doing different poses, even jumping to one hand and grabbing his foot out, smirking.
"Sonic!"
He looked over to Amy and then gave the kid a high-five, before racing off to Amy.
The kid's mother took the shoe out of the kid's mouth and pulled him along deeper into the store.
"What's up, A-…mmm…" he gestured a hello to her before lowering his eyes in suspicion.
She held up three different shoe boxes, and giggled. "Alright, Cinderella! Let's see if you're my prince!"
He rolled his eyes and groaned at that joke, before sitting down, huffing and folding his arms.
She went for his shoes.
"Wo-woah-woah!" Sonic waved his hands out, pulling his legs up and off the ground.
"What's wrong?" Amy pouted, putting her hands to her hips.
It was always a little cute when she did that, but he was terrified of her touching his feet at the moment.
"I-I can do my own shoes!" he was worried she picked out some odd ones for him. You know, with pink sparkles and glitter and stuff.
She rolled her eyes, not understanding, and handed him a box.
He opened it, and tossed it. "Too retro."
"You love retro!"
"But not that retro."
"Ugh." Amy leaned her head back, before pulling out another box from her group and taking the shoes out, holding one to Sonic. "Just at least try this on."
He didn't really want to remove his shoes….
Sentimental as he may claim NOT to be… he kinda had a fondness for them.
He looked down and a montage of all the moments he's had with them played out in his head, even the shoe store music tuned out for it.
"…Sonic?"
He snapped out of his thoughts again, zooming his eyes up to Amy's.
"…Come on. It's shoes." She gestured out.
He thought that funny, considering she was a girl, and probably owned quite a few pairs herself, and debated on which ones to wear for some imagined date plan of hers.
He slowly began to take the shoes off, "Alright…" he yanked one off, and Amy stepped back.
"Huh?" he looked confused at her action. "What's wrong?"
She had been kneeling down and now was crawling back, plugging her nose. "Since when have you changed socks!?"
He smirked.
His natural 'stink' seemed to be a perfect 'Amy Repellent'.
He took the socks off as Amy handed him the store owned ones, and coughed, before getting up. "You try them on and I'll buy you some new socks, YUCK!" she rushed off, as Sonic smiled, seeing she cared but also liking how he now knew how to get her to leave when he wanted too.
He tried on the shoe, and didn't think Amy's style was too bad, but then he felt something squishy on the bottom of it. "Huh?" he pressed his foot down, and felt the difference. "Ehhh.." he looked uncomfortable with it.
He zipped over to Amy, bending down as she was grabbing some socks.
"Amy, this has water in it." he made a face.
"What? Oh, haha! That's just the gel. I thought you might want some cushioning to help your feet not be sore with all the running. That, or at least have some comfort when you run for so long."
He made a face as she turned away, and he yanked the shoe off, tossing it behind him. "Next." he nonchalantly stated, as the shoe landed on her head, and she twitched in rage.
The next shoe he tried on looked pretty cool actually! The most expensive one, but it really matched his style!
"Amy! This is the pair!" he posed, triumphantly.
"…Sonic." Amy looked upset. "those are your old shoes."
"Huh?" He looked down and noticed they were. He ughed.
"Sonic. You have to learn to part ways with the old." She walked over and took his shoe off, making him nervous.
"Uhh…" he balanced as she did so, but also sweat dropped as she came up and tapped his chest.
"Out with the old, and in with the new! The new becomes old and you buy some more! That's just life. Almost everything's recycled, except love." she winked and walked off to get the other pair.
He rubbed his chest where the pressure of her tap still stayed, and watched her walk off with a straight lined mouth.
He wasn't sure what to think of that.
Sure, he understood you couldn't put on a new pair of shoes when it came to love. You had to be 'committed' and all that jazz.
He folded his arms again, trying to think of her analogy for a moment, something he normally wouldn't do unless he was curious, before Amy came back and knelt again, gesturing for him to lift his leg.
"I won't touch your feet. Promise." she nodded.
There was an odd sense of trust he suddenly had, along with a fire he wasn't too sure of either.
He slowly stepped up to her, and lifted his leg, delicately putting his shoe in, and then removing the shoe from her grasp, putting his foot on the ground to shove his foot into the shoe.
The second it slid in, it was like a match made in heaven.
It had his signature red and even the buckle!
A little more Sonic Adventure 2-ish, but eh, it didn't look half bad!
"Wow, this actually feels great!" Sonic hit the foot down a second, as Amy scurried to the other foot.
"Want to run with them for a little? Not too fast though, their are kids you could bump into, alright?" Amy put the shoe on her shoulder, "This time, let me help you get it in. I'm strong you know! You can push down."
He wasn't comfortable with that, and looked away.
"Come on! It's not like what I'm asking is scandalous!"
"PFft." Sonic turned to her, "You could say it's 'sandal-lous', eh? eh?"
She ughed.
He allowed her to help him and got the other shoe on, but didn't like the image of 'stomping' down on her, though no one else thought that.
"You okay?"
"Yeah! You're not pressing that hard with your foot, silly. Haha!" she got up and dusted her dress off and smiled as Sonic ran in place, then tapped them down a few times, before rushing around a bit, making sure his wind wasn't too powerful to knock anything down or hit a kid.
He came back, "Well, you certainly got my style, Amy." Sonic admired the shoes, tipping his front foot up and admiring the shine.
"How much I owe you?"
"Nothing."
"H-huh?" He looked up, confused. "Amy…" he took on a tender look, straightening his back out. "I can't let you pay for all this." he gestured around, as if referring to 'everything in the store' but Amy knew what he meant.
"Consider it an early birthday present." She put her hands behind her back and swayed cutely forward and backwards. "Besides! Just seeing your happy expression, and being able to spend quality time with you like this… it's all I could ever ask for in return!"
She amazing smile lit up the inner walls of Sonic heart, and he looked away, scratching his head, thinking he needed to do more for her.
"Hmm.. Well, I still don't feel right about it… you paid for the socks too…" he then lowered his hand to his nose, scratching that, once he got an idea. "Say… I don't suppose you'd like to show off these new shoes,… would ya?"
"Hmm?" Amy seemed surprised and curious by what he meant, tilting her head. "What do you mean?"
"Heh. Care to join me as I take them for a test run?" he smiled back to her, but she must have not realized what he fully meant.
"Oh… okay." she smiled.
"…Amy? You okay?" he was expecting more of a reaction from her, and looked concerned when she didn't 'squee' like a fangirl or anything.
"O-oh, I just thought you meant going dancing to 'show off your shoes' or something, haha!" she laughed.
He grinned, getting another good idea….
"Actually, I was kinda asking you out on a date." he leaned back, knowing that being a bit more direct would help her get it.
His goofy expression of pretending to not notice what he said matched beautifully with her frozen stance, before she jumped up and down and started to spazz, just like he knew she would.
This made him happy, seeing he could return the favor.
She paid for it and they zoomed off down the street.
Later, in a more wild setting, he placed her down and bowed. "Care to dance?"
"Ah! With those dancing shoes? Would I!" Amy teased, fanning her hand out and even pretending to check Sonic out up and down before placing her hand on her chest, acting like a lady.
Sonic chuckled at her pretend and the two started to dance, though Sonic was being crazy and silly with it, it just made Amy laugh more, and the day was still young!
