Sonic IRL 2
Shut Up and Flashdrive
By: Cutegirlmayra(So, I wasn't creative with the title XD OH WELL, lol. I finally found some time from my busy life of college to write another one-shot short story :D A friend convinced me to make many more short-stories based on the laws of this certain premise where the Sonic co. lives in SEGA and can only be seen within their walls and by fellow employees. Also, there are some more rules I'll probably explain or just hint at in the other stories, but this one is cute and so I'm writing it XD enjoy!)
"WHHHHHAHAHAHHHAAA!" Amy, or Emi as they call her in Japan, ran through the halls of Sega of Japan, crying her eyes out as she made her way into the 'foreign affairs' district of the building.
"Wo-woah!" A man carrying boxes was slammed against the wall as she bulldozed through, causing some documents to fly everywhere from the open boxes. "Wha…wha.. phew." He was confused, but just glad he wasn't run over. "Hey! Sempai!" He cried out to a man with a clipboard and pencil that was held up by his ear on his head.
The man walked over to him, clearly his superior or manager of the floor. "Yes? What is it?"
"What's wrong with Emi-chan? Did Sonic hurt her feelings or something?" The confused mail delivery boy asked, seeming to be an intern or something.
"No, no… it's not that." The man sighed, rolling his eyes, and slightly smiling.
"What is it then? I've never seen her so distraught." The boy walked with the man, stumbling and looking down and around the boxes to watch his footing.
"Well, it's technically not Sonic's fault, anyway." The man began, laughing and moving into a room full of people on computers. "It's just that Sonic had to be transferred to the American district for code-copying to then create the new Sonic Boom. After all, each of the foreign nations has to have a Sonic, and each has to be created off of the data from the original, which is our very own Sonic the Hedgehog." The man explained, and took his pencil out, looking over another employee's shoulder to check and then sketch down some numbers. He patted the man on the computer's shoulder and then moved on.
"W-wait… so… she's upset cause he's…" the man gulped, looking behind him and then whispering to the man. "Gone?"
"Precisely." The man turned around to him. "I know you're kinda new here. Only been working what… 4… 3 months?"
"2 sir." The man straightened up. "After signing the contract of secrecy and then seeing the characters appear and start walking about for the first time, it was quite a shock. I didn't realize they also can feel and be affected by their environment as well." He fumbled with the boxes, lifting a leg up to try and push the boxes more up so he could get a better grip on them.
"Only 2 months? And you can see them? That's quite an accomplishment. Most people don't believe in the characters and don't see them till a strange almost 'supernatural' thing occurs within our building. Then they believe, but for you to see them so early…" the man looked quite impressed.
"Well sir, I've been a fan of Sega games for a while, I even… hehe, I saw the monkey just last week sir." His smile was grand, looking like he just met a movie star.
"Yes, he gets that department into a lot of trouble…" the man mused, and chuckled deeply. "I guess you can also see other fictional characters walking around now too?"
"Oh yes! Just the other day I saw Star Fox flying his ship outside. And the week before that I saw a final fantasy character! Cloud was it? I'm not sure. How can that be?" He inquired.
"Well-" the man was about to explain, before…
"WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA!"
"Emi! We've given you chocolates, we've tried a salon day, and we got you a puppy!" A man and two women we're around Amy, as she held a living puppy in her hand, as it licked her hand and wagged it's tail, but tears we're still forming in her eyes and her chibi eyes we're waving like a heat wave around with grief and misery showing very clearly by it.
"Give us a break!"
"I WANT SONIC BACK!" She cried out, and squeezed the puppy, who just resisted her by wiggling a bit, but didn't seem to be getting hurt.
"Emi… Precious little Angel, we need you to SHUT. UP." The man stated, quite fed up with her behavior.
Amy looked up to him, sniffing in her despair and listening to his words as the two girls tried to comfort her and pet her head and scratch her ears.
"You're crying is sending a ruckus of unwanted complaints. People can't work with you crying out you're misery all the time! We understand you miss Sonic… but for goodness sakes! It's only been three days!"
"But I love him! And I miss himmm!" she leaned her head back and cried again, as the three people plugged their ears. "WHHHHHAHAHAHHAHAAA! Why couldn't I have come too? –sniff- they took Tails…" she whined out. "Don't they… don't they need me too?"
"Of course they need you sweetie. But they have to do a few at a time!" he tried not to snap at her, even going down to her level he tried to connect with her, but she just started to tear up again, and he slowly moved away as the crying continued again.
"That's it! Get Sonic on a skype call!" The man cried out, motioning for someone to get on that.
Amy instantly plucked up, "Hurray! Sonic's gonna call me~ Sonic's gonna call me~" she jumped up and started spinning around and jumping after the man with the puppy in her arms, bouncing to her song.
"But sir, that could stop production…"
"SHE'S STOPPING PRODUCTION! Augh! I bet the other countries don't have to deal with this kinda… diva-ish scenario!" the man quickly pulled out a chair aggressively, took a minute to calm himself, and then put on a fake smile and offered Amy a chair.
She happily took it, kicking up her legs with the puppy in her arms, looking perfectly satisfied and happy.
After she was in the chair, the two girls walked off, and the man moved passed them to pick up a speaker. "Sorry for the disturbance, it's being taken care of. Please get back to work, thank you." he put the speaker down. "Girls… why'd we have to create GIRLS for this franchise, eh? We can't deal with all this emotional distress…"
Amy waited for the computer's monitor to turn on, while to the side of her, in an open windowed lounge, Knuckles was playing poker with Vector, Charmy, and Espio.
"Ha! I win again!" he scooped up all the money, making a hardy laugh as he boasted about his winnings and grinned heavenly.
"I think this is rigged!" Charmy flew up but had his hands to the table. "I'm calling cheats!"
"You'll call nothing, you know why?" he held up Charmy's rings. "Cause you have nothing left to give~ HAHAHAHA!"
The others slouched down, groaning as Knuckles laughed again, holding his head high and placing both hands on his hips and letting his chest out as it moved up and down with his loud laughter.
Zing-Zip-Zackle
"Hello? Anyone home?"
"SOONNICC-KUU!"
Amy almost tackled the computer screen, happy to see Sonic's face once again, as she looked into the computer's built in camera, and then down at the screen. She giggled and kissed the camera. "Did you miss me~?"
"Ugh…" Sonic rolled his eyes and then shook his head. "Emi… I heard you've been causing problems lately." He sat back on the screen, and folded his arms, looking disappointed and upset. "What on earth's wrong?"
"Sonic-ku,… I … I miss you so much…" she sloped down from the screen, placing her hands on the table the computer was on and having only the top part of her face now showing, her innocently shining emerald eyes growing big as she felt like crying again.
"Ugh… Emi…" Sonic looked away, not sure how to respond. "Well, can't you keep yourself occupied till I get back? Maybe Knuckles can-"
"Knuckles doesn't help. He's no fun." She looked away.
"Come on, Emi. He's better than nothing…"
"Nothing?" She moved her head up, showing her disbelief in his words as she turned the monitor, showing Vector getting up in the other room.
"I quit! I can't win a stinkin' game with this guy!" Before he walked away though, Knuckles got up and pointed to him.
"You walk away and I get you're clothes!"
"…..Did I really bet my attire?!" Vector ran back and leaned down to Espio.
"You said all in, and you didn't have any rings left. If you fold now, you'll surely loose it all." Espio had an anime sweat drop on the side of his face, being forced to speak the truth and not believing Vector could have forgotten that move so quickly.
"….." Vector sulked and walked back to his seat, as Knuckles sat back down, grinning cruelly.
"Oh… wow. I see what you mean." Sonic stated, cringing at the sight and seeing her point.
"Eh-mm." Amy moved the screen just enough for him to see some of her face at the corner of the screen.
"Well.. there has to be stuff you can do Emi… what's with the dog?" Sonic noticed the puppy jump up on her lap again, after have been pushed off by Amy's lunge for Sonic.
"The companies been trying to comfort me…" she admitted, and petted the cute puppy.
"You mean appease you, your highness." He sarcastically spat out his witty insult.
"Hey! I miss you, alright!? It's not easy to replace you here…" she looked away, cutely puffing up her cheek and blushing slightly.
"Oh Emi.."
"When are you coming home, Sonic-ku?" she looked back to the screen, her expression could quite literally break a heart.
Sonic looked at her for a minute and sighed, "Soon, Amy. I've got some weeks here, you know. And it's only been… hmm." Sonic turned around to a man off screen. "How long have I been here?" he asked in English.
A man spoke but Amy couldn't understand his English.
"THREE DAYS?!" Sonic almost jumped out of his chair. "Heh." He clung to the side of his chair, now being angled to the side on the chair, and his legs up as he flinched at the very realization of the moment. "Emi…" he calmed himself down and rearranged himself as he moved the chair closer to the monitor, placed his hands on the counter, and cleared his throat, looking down. "You know… this doesn't make me look good." He stated, and looked back up to her. "You really need to be more professional…"
"But…But Sonic-ku…" she cutely pawed the screen, bending down again to where her head was all Sonic could see.
"No buts, you need to straighten yourself out here, Emi. Can you do that for me?" he turned on his charm, and tilted his head slightly as he asked her this. "I promise a few more weeks won't be that hard. You can uh… pet the puppy for me." He looked at the dog now walking across the counter.
"Oh, down boy." Amy took the dog and put him on the ground. "I can't wait a few weeks Sonic… I want to be there now!" she whined.
"Hey, hey..! What have I told you about whining to get what you want, huh?"
"It got me a phone call with you…" She muttered, pouting and looking away from the screen.
"You cheeky devil,… that was you're plan all along, wasn't it?"
"Hehe~" She grinned.
"Eggman should be scared… another few years and you'll be taking his job." Sonic teased.
"Hey!"
"Gotta fly, Emi. But I need to talk to Knuckles real quick. Can you get him for me?"
"But…" She didn't want to stop talking to him.
"Emi…" Sonic gave her a slightly sterner tone in his voice.
"Fine..!" She groaned, leaning her head back and getting out of the chair, sulking off again as she knocked on the other room's door. "SONIC WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU, KNUCKLES!" she cried out, and went back to the monitor. "There." She folded her arms.
"…Alone…" Sonic stated.
"What! But!"
"You keep this rebellious act up and I'll make sure you never go on another date. Agreed?"
She gasped, "How can you be so cruel to me!?"
"Easy. I just have to kick out all that superstar attitude of you and you'll be good as new." He teased.
"Ohhh! You're mean! Jerk! Baka!"
"Hey, watch it."
She stuck her tongue out at him and stomped off.
Sonic sighed, "Have a good day!" he called out, and rolled his eyes.
Knuckles came walking out as prideful as ever as he put a hand to the chair and leaned on it, looking at Sonic. "Oh hey, you missin' us already?" he assumed, and laughed. "Listen, I'm in a really good position in my game right now, so-"
"Quick the big act and tell me why you haven't dealt with Amy's crying yet." Sonic folded his arms, not taking any crap from Knuckles today. "Me and Tails specifically asked you to take care of her till we got back. Tails usually can handle her while I'm gone, but he's here with me right now. And I can't keep being pulled away from work to deal with Emi's stress right now. I really need ya buddy." He stated.
"Huh? Emi's been acting up?"
Sonic face-palmed himself.
As they continued to talk, Amy leaned on the wall outside, pouting and tightly folding her arms, as the puppy walked by her, not interested in her anymore.
"Yeah? Well neither is Sonic!" she spat out, upset.
A man pushed a cart full of electronic stuff, as Amy looked at the Japanese writing on the cart.
"Shipment of data for American district…?"
As it rolled by her, she moved out into the center of the hall, and a wicked idea launched into her head.
She creeped after it, as Knuckles looked down and away from the screen.
"Let me get this straight, you want me to spend every waking moment for the next few weeks entertaining Emi until you get back?! That's absurd!" he cried out.
"Look." Sonic glared from the monitor. "I don't care if she asks you to dress up as a pretty princess or the ogre. You'll do whatever it takes to keep the company from calling me again and stopping production." He stated. "Now, keep an eye on her. I don't want to expect another call, alright? I have a lot of work to do."
"I shouldn't have to be punished for her acting up! This is unfair! Sonic-!" The screen clicked off as Sonic stuck his tongue out to Knuckles. Knuckles got so mad he pulled back his fist, almost ready to punch the screen, but didn't. Then he heard some barking…
The puppy yipped and barked at Amy, as she was hiding in a dark room, where the man had sent the technology.
"Shush! Shhh! Heel, boy!" She pulled him close to her, as she looked around. "Ah-ha!" She found what she was looking for. In a bag, a ton of flashdrives all put together we're just sitting quickly and stone cold. "These must be going with the shipment." She concluded, and put the dog down.
Grabbing one of them, she inserted it into a computer and turned it on. The computer sparked to life at the touch of her hand to the button, as she looked around nervously, afraid she would be caught.
"Well, here goes nothing. Bye, bye, puppy!" she jumped into the computer, as her frame and body turned into a splash of databits and code.
The puppy barked again, backing up as he did so.
She then flew through the computer's programming, all the way to the flashdrive central, which in her world looked like a huge rectangle opening.
She flew up to it, and got in one of its capsules and put her safety belt on. Looking down at the ground, she saw all the files below her with data sticking out of them as paper.
"Gee, I hope there's room… better be, I don't want to have only my butt showing up in America…" she worriedly thought outloud, and looked to see what the gigabytes we're on the flashdrive she was going too. "Hmm… Just enough… oh boy, looks like I'm just gonna squeeze in." she hit the button, and the pod went zooming into the flashdrive, as outside, the little light flashed on the device.
"WOAHHH!" she was sucked into a space, and an icon of her smiling face showed up on the flashdrive's files list.
She was squished! Between all the files and papers, she was completely unable to move, as her face was even squished up against the very rim of the device. "This isn't how a lady should travel.." she concluded, sorrowfully.
A man walked in and saw the flashdrive and the computer on. "Huh? That's not suppose to be there…" he saw the bag of the opened flashdrives and shrugged. "Must have been a forgotten downloaded service." Without even carrying about the screen showing what was on the flashdrive, he closed the window down and ejected the flashdrive the proper way, so nothing was erased, and shut the computer down.
Pulling the flashdrive out, he placed it in the bag and zipped it up, walking on as Knuckles walked into the room, holding the puppy.
"What is it boy?" He asked, as the puppy wiggled out of his grasp and tried to tippy-toe up to the counter, but couldn't reach it. He just kept barking at the computer.
Knuckles looked around, even below the computer, but couldn't find anything the dog would be barking about. "Huh, you're a funny one, alright." He picked the dog back up, as it licked it. "Heh, heh. I guess I see why Sega never made a dog character. Now,… where's Emi?" he walked out of the room, as the very next day, the stuff was piled onto a plane, and shipped out to America.
"Ah, the shipments arrived!"
Amy reprogrammed herself during the flight to understand and speak English when she arrive, and prepared for her unveiling…
"Alright! The new updates are in!" An American said, as he took out the box which had her flashdrive within it.
"Let's take them to HQ. The gang will be thrilled to see this!"
A few hours later, Amy had fallen asleep, until a light flickered on above her, and she looked up, and gasped in excitement. She tried to look behind her, but just felt the wind of suction as the flashdrive pulled her into the other computer and the pod released her into the computer's virtual space.
"Huh? What's this?" A man, working at a computer, was downloading the content, when the Amy icon appeared on the window. "…? Amy? I thought we weren't getting her till June.." he clicked the icon, but nothing happened. "Stupid double click. When I click it once.." he grumbled, and doubled clicked the icon.
Amy's data burst from the screen, making him freak out and fall backwards on his chair, as she materialized and opened her eyes, looking around.
"Ohhh!~ I haven't been to America in years!" she put her hands up to her face, and looked around in awe at the office building. "It's not so different… well, kinda but not really. I guess every company still has that office feel to it." She stretched, "Gee, I was held up in that flashdrive for forever! Thanks, Mr. American!" she patted his head as he just looked dumbfounded on the floor, as she skipped off. "Now, to look for Sonic-ku!"
The man rolled himself to his stomache, and got up to his knees, having his hands still down as he shook his head. "Well, that just happened…"
"La-de-da-de-dah~"
"La-de-da-de-do~"
"La-de-da-de-
OFFPH!"
Amy fell down, having run into something as she rubbed her head. "Ohhh…"
"Hey! Watch where you're going! Don't you know-…!"
As Amy got up, her vision was kinda off and blurry, till she blinked a few times and saw a mirror.
"Oh… I didn't even see that there."
"…MOM!?"
"WHAT?! Oh, it's American me. Hi American me!" Amy waved her other self. "I thought I told you to call me you're sister in arms to defend love?" she got up and brushed herself off.
"B-bu-but how!?" American Amy helped her up, and dusted off her dress too.
"Don't baby me, now." Japanese Amy lightly patted her hand away, as she fixed her hair. "I couldn't let you get all the fun with two Sonic's, now, could I?" she teased.
"Well, hehe, I admit it's been a pleasure to see the original Sonic again but…" she reached a hand out to her original self. "How did you get here, again?"
"I highjacked a flashdrive." She proudly stated, before pushing her two pointer fingers together, "That was.. um.. headed to America."
"Wow. What a rebel!" American Amy said, impressed. "But won't Sonic be mad at you..?"
"Oh, maybe a little mad…" she thought, "But I'm sure he'll forgive me once he sees how much I did to see him again! He'll be overcome with feelings for me~" She placed her hands on her face and looked away, blushing as she daydreamed.
"Oh! I'm so happy for you! Wished I thought of that." American Amy squee'd right with her, as they both held hands and smiled to one another.
"Do you know where my Sonic-ku is?" Asked Japanese Amy.
"Sure do! He's looking over some in-progress material right now in the movie theater, at least, that's what I call it." She scratched the back of her head. "Stephen Frost and I think Aaron Webber. Though… he should be helping with Project Diva or something like that."
"Hatsune Miku?"
"That's the one."
"Whose Aaron?" Japanese Amy tilted her head in curiosity, putting a finger to her mouth.
"…He's um.. well.. .he's a guy." American Amy tried to explain.
"Oh… and Stephen?"
"He…he's a guy too."
"Got it! Thanks for keeping it simple." She looked a bit sarcastic, as American Amy just laughed it off nervously.
They both walked to the theater room as they slowly opened the door, and looked down to see the front rows had two human men, and the Sonics iconic blue quills sticking up over the seats.
"I like that part. Plenty of action." One of the Sonic's spoke up.
"Yeah, we really wanted to get people engaged in not only the story but the feel of the gameplay as well." A man spoke out, as Japan Amy squinted in the dark.
"Whose who?"
"What do you mean?" They both began whispering to each other.
"Well, my Sonic! Which is mine and which is yours?"
"Oh!" Amy squinted in the dark again. "No idea." She confessed, as Japan Amy sighed out her sadness at that fact.
"You must be able to tell them apart somehow…" she moaned out.
"Yes well… sort of." American Amy fiddled with her fingers.
"Hey!"
The girls looked to who was calling them.
"Whose letting the light in?"
"SONNNICC!" Japanese Amy just went for it, running up to the two Sonics.
"AH! AMY!?" "AH! EMI!?"
The one who called her Japanese pronunciation was the one she jumped too, as he got up and held her back a bit. "What on earth!?"
"That's your Amy?" American Sonic got up, looking confused. "They aren't all suddenly coming to America, are they?" He lowered his eye lids, looking unamused as American Amy came up and scolded him.
"That's not nice! She came all the way from Japan to be with her Sonic!"
"You did what?!"
"That's right! My love for you would find me a way to always be by you're side Son-" he put a hand to her face and had to kinda peel her off of him. "SONNNICC!" she tried to reach for him, and was upset he was pushing her away. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong!? Do you know the problems you just caused?!"
Aaron looked a bit confused, "Wait… should we leave this to them now or contact somebody in Japan or something..?" he tried to think of the logical response to this but right now he was just trying not to laugh.
"Two Sonics, two Tails, two Amys? The more the merrier!" Stephen lifted his arms up and let them flop down, showing he could care less and was having fun with this situation anyway. "But yeah,… yeah, we should probably let them know she's here." He then stated, putting his hand up to let his chin rest on it as his arm rested on the chair's arm.
"Amy, you didn't help with this, did you?" American Sonic looked to his Amy.
"What?! No! I just bumped into her, and I don't see why this is such a bad thing… she was coming over in a couple of weeks anyway."
"A month."
"So?"
"Amy, this is bad timing!"
"Everyone is probably worried sick about you! They might be blaming Eggman on kidnapping you again or something!" Japan Sonic facepalmed as he could envision in his head the chaos that must be arising at Sega of Japan. "Did you at least tell someone you were coming here?"
"They would've stopped me… and besides, after all the commotion I caused from missing you they're probably happy I'm out of their hair for a while… and we can be together, oh Sonic!~" she reached for him again, and tried to kiss him.
"E-Emi! Stop it! I've very upset with you…" he didn't seem to be showing any anger, mostly he just looked upset that she acted on her own accord and very selfishly for that manner. "What if the flashdrive only was able to send half of you? Or worse! Corrupt you're data by not being opened or taken out properly."
"You worry too much~" she leaned back, and cutely walked a bit away from him, blinking her eyes fast. "Admit it! You're happy to see me." She put her hands behind her back and cutely swayed back and forth.
"I'm ecstatic…" Japanese Sonic's face clearly showed otherwise…
"Woah, woah, woah. Now let's all take a breath for a second and get this sorted out." America Sonic put both hands up between the two. "Now, you should contact you're people and I'll contact mine. We'll get her back to Japan in no time."
"WHAT!?" both Amys responded, as they got together and held the other hands.
"I don't want her to go back! She just got here… and I haven't even gone shopping with her yet!" American Amy protested.
"Yeah! And besides, they're to busy to stage something like that." Japanese Amy continued.
"Oh, come on! Uh… Sonics? Please let her stay!"
"PLEASE?" They both did their best chibi puppy eyes, as both Sonics leaned back, a trace of sweat moving down the side of their faces.
Aaron and Stephen looked to each other, and then back at the scene. "Well this is getting good." Stephen stated.
"I have to admit, much better than the prototypes you were showing us." Arron stated from the side.
"Hey! Those we're pretty good!" Stephen sat up, half-heartedly acting like he was offended.
"Whatever..!" Laughed Aaron, clearly joking too.
"Could you two give us a minute?" American Sonic looked to the two, not liking an audience.
"Oh, pardon us." Aaron got up, as Stephen followed.
"I would of gotten pretty upset with commentary to me and my girlfriend fighting too." Whispered Stephen to Aaron, as Aaron just looked back at him with an unamused face at his statement.
"You would like them to be like that, wouldn't you?"
"Amy's my favorite character, but that doesn't mean I 'ship' or anything. I just think she's got the three C's."
"What's that?"
"Cute, Cool, and Courageous."
"Then why don't you marry her?"
"Shut up, Aaron. I thought if either of us we're getting married, it'd be to our work."
"She's a cruel but fun mistress, Stephen. But I run back to her every time."
"Touché."
As the two exited, American Sonic looked to his original. "Want to be left alone too?"
"Do you mind?" Japanese Sonic looked a bit stressed, and American Sonic understood that.
"Alright, come on, Amy. This doesn't concern us." Sonic started to move Amy out.
"B-b-but!" Amy wanted to stay and watch, but was being gently tugged and nudged away from Japanese Amy, and she didn't want to fight against her Sonic that much.
"It's okay." Japanese Amy comforted her other self. "I'll deal with the consequences; you just have fun with your Sonic, okay?" She waved her off, smiling, but was secretly worried about getting scolded by Sonic…
"Ohh… Go easy on her, Mr. Original! It's not fair that she did so much for you only to scold her!" Amy shouted out, as Sonic sighed and finally started to push her out the door.
"Thanks!" Japanese Sonic called out.
American Sonic just lifted his hand to acknowledge he heard him, and then closed the door.
Sonic looked to Amy. "Emi…"
"I'm not sorry!" She stomped her foot to the ground, and turned her face around. "What's wrong with me just hanging out and not doing anything? I won't cause anyone any trouble! I just wanted to be around you… that's all…"
"But you have caused trouble. For a lot of important people…"
"I didn't mean too! Honest!"
"But you still did." Sonic gave her a very stern look, and then turned his head away from her. "I don't know what to do with you now, Emi…" he rubbed his hand through his quills. "They can't watch out for more than at least two of us. Having you around messes the flow up. We did have this all planned, you know."
Amy looked away, sad he couldn't see things through her eyes, but slightly accepted the fact that what she did was bold and selfish. "But… but I missed you so much…" she turned away from him, and held her hands to her chest. "I just… I didn't want to be alone anymore…"
Sonic looked to her kindly, but then 'Tck'd and looked away. "As punishment for this act and mayhem you've caused on both sides of the globe, I'm going to ignore you till we're back in Japan." He folded his arms and nodded.
"WHAT?!" Amy turned around, flabbergasted as she shook her head. "No, no, no! Sonic, please!" She lunged for him, and he just turned his head from her, keeping his eyes closed and completely giving her the cold shoulder.
"Sonic! This is cruel! Crueler than if I'd stay home and not seen you at all… please! Please, I'll go back! Just don't-"
"That isn't an option. There's too much activity going on for them to plan a trip to send you back. You're obviously stuck here with me, and while you are, I'm not going to affiliate or be any where near you till it's over and we're back safe and sound at home." He started to move away and head for the door.
Amy dropped to her knees, "Sonic, please! Don't do this! Onegai!" she cried out please in japanese, as he stopped for a moment, and turned to her, seeing how desperate she was as she began to cry.
"I promise… I'll never do this again… I swear! Please don't reject me though… please.. please.."
Sonic took a step back toward her, but then quickly as he did so, looked away in pity and walked out the door.
'Some time after'
Japanese Amy sulked down the unfamiliar halls of Sega of America, as people came up to her to talk or ask her to say something in Japanese.
"Ai. Zankokuna. desu." She stated, which is her just stating, love. Cruel. It is.
"Wow! She's so cute when she speaks in her Japanese voice!" A girl seemed to love her accent.
"I wonder how that works.. since they have voice actors and all.. how can they talk without them..?" another girl asked, as Amy sighed.
"I think once their given a certain voice, they just kinda… I don't know, acquire it? Can you do your past voices too? Hey! Where'd she go?" the girls looked around, as Amy slipped by and headed down the elevator.
She sighed again, it had been a long while since Sonic had talked to her… And American Sonic was keeping him busy with stuff he had to do anyway…
"Like racing after a gig is important… pfft." She remembered trying to talk to her Sonic, and the other Sonic intervened and immediately asked her Sonic to a race, which he obliged in rather quickly as they sped past her. "I just want to cuddle and make up.." chibi tears streamed down her face as she sulked out of the elevator, running into her other self.
"Oh! Other me! Hiya!" American Amy grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the elevator. "Are you alright? Hungry?" she asked, trying to help her.
"…-sniff- Why can't Sonic just forgive me and move on…" she sniffled out.
"Oh… you can always hug my Sonic… but only once though, cause I feel bad, okay?" she stuck a finger up and looked down as she put her other hand to her hip, moving her body slightly to the side.
"….no…" Japanese Amy looked away.
"Huh? Why not? It's still Sonic."
"….no…" Amy whined out again, leaning her head back now.
"Hey! Is my Sonic not good enough for your foreign taste or something!?" American Amy folded her arms, offended.
"Look, it's life this." Japanese Amy put her arm around her other self, trying to explain. "My Sonic is like… limited edition and original first copy. And Yours is like… A copy of that perfection." She looked to her other self as American Amy fumed with rage.
"MY SONIC IS JUST AS GOOD AS YOURS!" she brushed her arm off of her. "HMPH! Forget I said you could hug him!"
"Uh… I didn't mean to offend you… I just was stating how I feel about my Sonic… I'm sure it's like that for you too, right?"
American Amy looked back at Japanese Amy, and let go of her anger. "I guess you're right… when I first met him, it was kinda awkward, and I didn't feel like he was the same as Sonic either…" She admitted.
"See? There's a difference." Amy smiled, as the two shared a smile.
"Oh! I know exactly what you need!"
"Huh?"
"A night on the town! Come on! You'll love the American streets of gold!"
"I don't know…" Japanese Amy looked down. "I kinda just want to go home… I mean, at least then, Sonic would forgive me and I can pretend this whole thing didn't happen…"
"Aw come on! You can't give up like that! You might of come here for Sonic but…" she took her others hands, and looked her dead in the eye. "But you're gonna be here for me now! And we're gonna have fun! I say so!" She struck a confident pose. "So… will you come with me?"
"Where are you even planning on going?" She smiled, sort of excited to get out of this building anyway.
"Hehe~ Let me show you!"
The two made their way to the computer, and Amy typed in some things.
"Alright, let's go downstairs!" Amy tugged Japanese Amy down to the public parking stacked building slightly underground, where she had her hands over her eyes.
"Can I look yet?" Japanese Amy was holding her hands slightly out in front of her, unsure of her footsteps and where she was going.
"Almost… look out for the curb.. and… WALL-LA!" she let her hands go and Japanese Amy gasped at seeing her love-bug car from Sega All Star Racers.
"We're driving around town?" She smiled.
"Eh-mm~ In style!"
-Cue Song: Shut up and Drive-
The Amys then have a montage of looking all over the city of San Francisco as Japanese Amy had an open smile, standing up slightly and looking out over the beautiful city.
They went all over the place, as American Amy pulled out sunglasses, and as Japanese Amy sat down, helped put them on her as they laughed.
Mario kart cars started showing up on another road, as the Amys looked, and then glanced to each other and smiled.
With a evil smirk, they crashed through an alley way and joined the race.
"Go! Go!" Japanese Amy cried out, worried they we're on the wrong side of the road for a moment, but remembered this was an American car and they drove on the other side.
They ended up hammering Donkey Kong off the road, and then acquired a red shell.
"What do I do with it?!" American Amy exclaimed, holding it in her hand.
"Throw it, throw it, throw it!" Japanese Amy pointed at Yoshi who was in front of them, and jumped in her seat.
The hit landed, and the girls screamed, "YEAH!" in triumph and excitement. They ended up cheering when they got 3rd.
"Alright!" Amy cried out, as Japanese Amy 'Whoo-hoo!'d as they skidded and went back to a familiar road after passing the finish line. Mario drove up next to them just in the nick of time though, and tipped his hat to them. They kindly and a bit smugly nodded back to him, as they giggled.
"Now that was a race!" American Amy let out, laughing.
"Wow! I bet the Sonics would be proud of us!" Japanese Amy giggled. "Take that Nintendo!"
"Oh come on, we're pretty friendly with them lately."
"Wuss. We're only rubbing shoulders to get back in the game with them."
"Wow, now I see the whole Japanese competitive spirit coming out of ya." American Amy stated, smiling. "But I kinda get it."
"Peach is my friend though, kinda ironic huh?" Japanese Amy sat down, and then laughed, kicking her feet. She then suddenly saw a bunch of people gathering and dancing out near a park. "What's that?"
"I don't know… hold on." American Amy drove them into a parking spot, as they watched the humans dance around them, completely unaware that imagined beings we're watching them as they did their routine for the mass crowd of on-lookers at the park.
"I think it's a flash mob." American Amy stated, and leaned back, taking her sunglasses off as Japanese Amy already had a good long while ago after pointing out the Mario Kart racers.
"Wow! I've never actually seen one before though!" she seemed excited, as suddenly the crowd pushed two people together on chairs, as the boy looked like he was playing the shyly cute boy, but the girl was completely surprised.
The boy then got her up and someone gave him a microphone. "Jeannette. You're the love of my life, and I brought you here today to let you know… that I need to have you with me always, together and forever, not even till death do we part." The girl started crying, holding her hand up to her mouth as the boy dropped to one knee.
The Amys rose up in the car, and we're gapping at the proposal.
"Jeannette…" the boy looked up to the girl, "will you marry me?"
"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-OWWWWW MY HEART!" The Girls held each other's hand and moved close to each other, then gripped their hearts and started tearing up.
"DID SHE SAY YES?!" Japanese Amy asked.
"I don't know, hold on!" American Amy took the car and turned it back on into drive, and started moving off the road.
"Woah! Is that legal!?" Japanese Amy asked.
"Not really, but it's not like Cops believe in walking talking video game characters anyway!"
They got close enough to see the girl walking back, and then nodding, as the boy walked up and walked to her, arms open wide, as they embraced.
"This… is so cute." Japanese Amy stated, doting on the two lovers.
"Yeahh…~" American Amy leaned on her hood, both arms on it and her hands holding her chin up as she fluttered her eyelids.
The two lovers kissed, and the Amys quills stood up slightly, before falling back as the two sighed.
"I want a flash mob proposal… right now." Japanese Amy stated.
"We'll have to hint it to Sonic some day…" American Amy smiled and then started to reverse the car. "…wait!" She slammed the break down, as Japanese Amy jumped a little and had to brace herself with the sudden stop.
"What? What is it?" she asked.
"We can surprise your Sonic!"
"…With a flash mob proposal?"
"No, no, no! Not that! Look," she turned to her friend. "We set you two up to be forced to meet and interact with each other! I'll get you two a room, so to speak, and he won't be able to leave without making up with you first! It's the perfect plan! A sneak attack! Just like a sneaky proposal!" American Amy pointed back to the dispersing group of dancers.
"…y-yeah! That might work! But… how do we capture Sonic?" Japanese Amy looked a little stumped, as so did American Amy, as they both leaned back on their seats in the car, thinking…
"…AH-HA! I GOT IT!"
'The Next Day'
"Did you hear!?"
"Yeah I heard. But I'm not sure where it is…"
"Hey, what's all the commotion about?" American Sonic and Japanese Sonic walked along side each other, over hearing two employees talking over some drinks in the lounge area.
"Oh, well, there's a rumor that there's a chili-dog party thing somewhere and it's to celebrate the new released material for Sonic Boom. But we're not sure where it is."
"Yeah, the companies treat to us. But again, not sure which room is holding it."
"Chili-dogs…huh?" Japanese Sonic licked his lips, and looked to his American counter-part. "I sure do miss American Chili-dogs~"
"Well, not for long." American Sonic looked to the men. "We'll be seeing ya, and thanks for the intell!"
"No problem, uh.. Sonics!" The two laughed.
"I'll zip around, see what's up." American Sonic waved goodbye to his original and set out to find out some more details.
He barely passed the second turn when Amy held out her hammer to stop him. He skidded to a halt, and looked to her.
"Woah! Amy, what's the big idea?" he asked, placing his hands on his hips.
She withdrew her hammer, and strut alluringly around Sonic, touching her fingers on the tip of her hammer as she did so, eye lids dropped just enough to look temptingly beautiful. "I heard about that chili-dog party… somewhere in … oh what was it..? Room 222?" She stated, trying to use a womanly charm that was a bit to mature for her to handle well.
"222? And how do you know that?" he was growing suspicious, as she quickly spun around and walked behind him.
"Just a little rumor…" she teased.
"Oh really?" Sonic grew more suspicious, and walked after her.
Japanese Sonic overheard the conversation, and disregarded how weird American Amy was and just started bolting towards the room. "222….222….two twenty two… ah-ha!" he finally found it, and skidded to a halt.
Creaking the door open, he peeked his head in. "Hello?" he called and walked inside. The room was dimly lit, as he turned on the light switch. In the middle of the room, stood a table full of two plates of chili-dogs.
Sonic's eyes widened as he portrayed an open smile and zipped over to it, not even realizing no one else was in the room. "Itadakimasu~!" he grabbed a chili-dog after his traditional Japanese table manners we're over with, until the door closed, and Amy stood behind it, smiling.
"Amy, what are you up too?" American Sonic asked, as American Amy looked to her communicator watch, and saw the red light turned green.
"Got'em! Hehe!" she placed her hand over her mouth, and then looked back to Sonic.
"Hello? I'm talking to you here." He stopped and tapped his foot to the ground, obviously not amused by her antics.
"Okay, you got me." She put her hands up as if being caught. "I made the whole thing up to get you to talk to me." She winked.
"What!? Aw man… I better tell Jap-" he was about to turn back but Amy moved quickly, knowing if she lost him now she'd lose him forever.
"Wait!" she gripped his arm.
"Huh? Amy, let go!" he tried to wiggle her off him. "My other me needs me!"
"He can survive on his own." She glared up at him, and then brushed her hair back, putting on a friendly smile again. "Why don't we um… go get a chili-dog of our own? Heh heh.." she awkwardly let out a short laugh, as Sonic raised an eyebrow to her.
"Now?"
"You're hungry, right?"
"What about-" he turned his head again and Amy turned it back to her.
"Sonic… I'm hungry too…" she pouted cutely.
He studied her expression again, his suspicious still apparent, as he sighed. "Fine. But if he wonders where I am it's your fault." He stated, and took her hand away from his muzzle.
"Yay!" She cheered, and grabbed his arm again, letting him 'escort' her out to get some chili-dogs as he scratched his nose and didn't seem very happy with his decision, but was going through with it anyway.
"Konbanwa, Sonic-ku." Japanese Amy greeted her Sonic, looking sly as she placed her hands behind her back, and smiled wickedly.
"Emi? What are you doing here?" He asked, the first time he's spoken directly to her in a long while.
"Ah, so I see you're finally paying attention to me." She folded her arms and shut her eyes, lifting her chin up snottily. "It's about time you noticed me again."
"Well, there's either that or this pile of chili-dogs…" he looked back to the plates. "And I'm thinking you hiding behind a door isn't a good sign."
"You fell for my trap!" She finally stated, and laughed like an anime villain. "Who-ho-ho-ho!" she placed the back of her hand in front of her mouth as she did so, but Sonic just rolled her eyes at her and took a bite of the chili-dog.
His eyes opened wide, as he took the chili-dog out of his mouth after it squeaked.
"Hey! This isn't even a chili-dog! It's a toy!" he squeezed it and it made another squeaking sound.
"Gomen~ I had to trick you, somehow!" she giggled, and skipped quickly over to him. "Now, you're going to be nice and make up with me or you can't leave this room." She stated.
"Oh yeah?" Sonic lifted an eyebrow.
"Yeah!" She stated, as Sonic zipped by her and had a hand on the door before she could even say anything more.
"You mean… stop me from getting to… this door?" He pointed to the door his hand was on, and rolled his eyes as his head leaned back dramatically. "Oh what will I do?" he laughed and tried to open the door. He tugged, and twisted it, but it wouldn't budge.
"Hehe~ you think I'm that dumb or something?" Amy held out the keys, and twiddled them in her fingers. "I've gotten you out of a prison before, second Adventure of ours, wasn't it? What makes you think I can't lock you back in one, hmm?" She charmingly looked back to him, as she made a tight fist with her hands as she felt wind rush by her and his hand hanging over hers.
"…..dratt." he kicked the air and walked away from her, as she smirked again, and kept the keys tightly in her hand to make sure he doesn't try and swipe it again.
"Okay, smart one." He sat in a chair, and kicked on leg over the other while one hand held up his head and the other was up in the air, moving around as he spoke. "What's you're brilliant plan now? I'm still sticking to my punishment. So I might as well quit talking to you now." He stated, looking back at her.
"Ohhh! I did this for you! Why can't you be grateful!" she felt hurt, as Sonic looked to her with little to no amusement.
"You freaked out Sonic Team. They had an investigation and found you escaped through a flashdrive. Their first thought was someone stole you and was going to use you're data or something against them. You're lucky that investigation didn't cost us to much or you'd have been in more trouble then you bargained for." He stated, clearly not going easy on her. "You're also very lucky I fought in your defense. Sega would of done a lot worse then just me ignoring you if I sent you back early after what you did."
Amy looked away as he spoke, ashamed, before hearing the last bit of his words. "Wait… you… you defended me?"
"Well, of course. You said so yourself.." he got up. "You only did it to be with me, not in spite of hurting the company or something. So I didn't feel you needed any reprehending from anyone but me. Besides, you've been on good behavior, at least, were before all this. So I figured you'd learn your lesson and wasn't going to try something like this again." He folded his arms and looked to her. "Right?"
She gulped and nodded quickly. "R-….right." she looked away again. "So.. you… you weren't really mad at me?"
"Oh, no, I was mad." He nodded his head, "I just wanted gonna scorn you for it. You just needed a good 'time-out' so to speak. So..? Can I go now?" he put his hands together and then motioned to the door.
"…" Amy looked to the door, then back to him. "No."
"Yes?"
"No."
"Please?"
"I said no!"
"Pretty please? With cherries on top?"
"Sonic!" She grew angry, and finally stated. "I want a proper resolve! A hug to kiss and make up and promise never do this to each other again!" she shook her fist tightly next to each other, upset how he just wanted this done with so quickly after ignoring her for so long…
"And I want a proper apology!" Sonic stated, not putting up with her antics today as he folded his arms definitely. "I didn't do any wrong, here."
Amy looked up to him, tears forming on the sides of her eyes but she brushed them off with her arm.
"Fine! I'm sorry for caring about you so much that I left Japan, all on my own, to cross the seas to find and be with you again! I'm sorry for loving you so much that I couldn't stand not being around you to where I even freaked out our company that I went missing and secretly made it to America to see you again! I'm so sorry! Gee, I'm a horrible person! Why don't you just call me a hopeless romantic and continue to be a jerk!" she turned around and stomped her foot down, not wanting him to see her cry cause she felt she was about too. "Oh and another thing-" she turned back around, "Thanks for sticking up for me and not telling me about it!"
"….heh." Sonic had listened to her little rant, and smiled. "You're a hopeless romantic, Oh, and you're welcome." He boldly did as she rhetorically asked him to do.
That was the last straw.
"Sonic! You're the worst person I've ever-!" before she could summon her hammer and hit him upside the head with it, he had sped forward and grabbed her arm in mid-swing, as it was about to move down. Looking dead in her eyes, he made her stop breathing for a moment in shock.
"I wasn't finished. I accept you're apology, and you're punishment is over so long as you never do this again."
She looked deep in his eyes, and saw his conviction.
"….Emi?"
"..Oh, Sonic-ku…" she couldn't hold it back now, as she dropped her hammer and embraced him. "I promise! I'll never do something so reckless again! I realize I could of gotten lost, or the flashdrive could of broke. I understand that it was dangerous, but… I had to do it. I couldn't stand being away from you!"
"…..Emi…." Sonic breathed out, thinking it was rather ridiculous but respecting the fact that she was willingly to do it for him. He placed a hand on the top of her head. "Didn't you once said something like, 'I've finally found a good thing about being apart, because it's so great when we're reunited'? Why couldn't you have just been a good girl and waited for me, huh?"
"You… you remember that from Sonic X?" She asked, looking up at him.
"The English version anyway. It was playing on a small t.v screen and I remembered you, before you came here." He looked down, still a little upset, but let it go. "I'm just glad you we're okay."
"Oh Sonic-ku~" She sniffed, and hugged him again.
"H-hey, watch it now, Emi…"
"I forgive you for you're punishment too… you only did it cause you we're concerned I could of gotten into worse trouble, so thank you."
Sonic's hands we're hovering over her, and slowly, he let them fall to her sides. "So? Good enough resolve?"
She grinned.
"Not quite."
"…? What do you mean, not quite?"
American Amy stood at the door of the 222's room.
"Open it." Sonic demanded, glaring her down.
"Nope." Amy shook her head, a bit afraid, but knew whatever was happening in their was for the better. "They have to make up."
"Amy…"
"I can't! I won't betray her!"
Suddenly the door opened, as a red faced Sonic bolted out the door, dragging Amy by her white color as she had given him the keys.
"Woah, what happened to you?" Sonic asked, and looked to see Japanese Amy had her hands in fist up to her face, in la-la land as she squee'd.
"Sometimes you have to do terrible things to get out of rutt." Japanese Sonic admitted.
"We kissed and made up~3" Japanese Amy cooed.
"You what?"
"Wait…" American Amy looked to her. "You mean…"
"KISSED. And MADE UP." Japanese Amy stated, quite clearly, and winked to her. "I snuck one in while he wasn't expecting it~"
"You sly hog!" American Amy blushed and looked amazed. "I'm so jealous!"
"Yeah, you are!" She kicked her legs up and squee'd like a fangirl again, as Japanese Sonic held a hand up to his face.
"…no…" American Sonic looked to his other self, feeling so much pity for him. "She didn't …"
"The next punishment will be worst…" Japanese Sonic stated, tugging Amy up from her spazzing fit of joy and walked on.
"See you guys later~" Japanese Amy waved, still blushing and squeeing and letting all manner of happiness come out of her being.
'Final day'
"I can't believe you're leaving!" American Amy was crying, holding onto her other self. "Are they really done with you too?"
"Yep, our new look should be coming out soon." Japanese Amy smiled, making a peace sign and grinning. "It should be epic!"
"Haha! I taught you that slang!" American Amy felt proud but didn't want to let her other self go. "I'll miss you, and all the mischief we've caused together~" she sniffed out.
"Ohh~ Me too!" Japanese Amy hugged her back, also on the verge of tears.
"I… I love you, Japan!"
"American-chan…"
"Japan, I always wanted to tell you this but…"
"America, no. Don't speak."
"But I must!" American Amy held her hands together, looking so convincingly into her eyes.
The two Sonic's head suddenly shot around, watching the scene.
"I can't live without you!"
"No, you mustn't! I… I have to leave with Sonic… it's… it's the way things have to be." Japanese Amy pulled away, dramatically so.
American Sonic dashed off, then came back with two pull out chairs, as the two Tails face-palmed and watch Japanese Sonic race off, and come back with popcorn.
"Really?" American Tails stated.
"You guys, you're not even into these kinds of things. We're gonna be late…" Japanese Tails sighed out.
"Shhh!" Both Sonic's stated.
"You don't me." Japanese Sonic stated, as American Sonic and him bro-fisted and watched the scene.
"But… remember, that car ride." American Amy put her arm around Japanese Amy, as the two reenacted lovers separating.
"No… I mustn't!" Japanese Amy got out of her embrace. "But… how could one forget!" And then rushed back into it.
"I swear… I will come for you. Sonic must not have you!"
The Sonics sat up more in their seats. "This is getting intense." American Sonic stated.
"Bet you 50 rings my Amy will pick me over her."
"I don't know… wait, your Amy?"
"You know what I mean."
"Can I pretend I don't and hope this is a love triangle?"
"Japan! Please! Don't leave me! I can barely breath without you close to me!"
Both American and Japanese Tails groaned at the cheesiness the girls we're portraying.
"They can't just say a normal goodbye, can they?" American Tails commented.
"Hey, they probably like the attention the Sonics are given them." Japanese Tails concluded, and American Tails agreed.
"America… I… I love Sonic. I.. I can't." Japanese Amy moved closer to her.
"Japan…" American Amy moved a little closer as well.
"America…"
The Sonics started to flip out, slowly getting up as the American Sonic gripped his head, and the Japanese Sonic put his closed hand to his mouth.
"…..should we end it now?" whispered Japanese Amy.
"Quick! Jump in the server you're being transferred in as I turn and act like I kissed you!"
"Ew, gross, no! That's narcissism!"
"Aw… it would have been funny…"
The two parted, and the Sonics both shouted out, "NOOO!"
"Well, that was intense." American Sonic concluded, and the whole gang laughed.
"Ya think!?" Japanese Sonic chuckled out, as they all said their goodbyes and we're off, back to Japan!
