Love and
Hate
Amy Rose was in her bedroom at the Station Square
Hotel, lazily daydreaming. The object of her dreams, the uncatchable,
untouchable, unmatched, Sonic the Hedgehog. For the longest, he has been the
object of her affections. When she met him for the first time, she was amazed
and taken by the speed, charisma and personality of this navy blue blur. Never
has she met such a wonderful hedgehog.
She sighed. "He's so
dreamy…"
It was just a few days ago that
Sonic saved her from Eggman's (Dr. Robotnik's) airship, the Egg Carrier.
Sonic came to rescue her after all she's done. She always bugs him about
having a girlfriend, emphasizing that she would be a good choice. Eggman jailed
her and her bird friend up, but one of his robots, codenamed E-102g,
let her free. When she was about to
leave the ship, Eggman confronted her and took a hidden Chaos Emerald from her
friend. Sonic then came and rescued her from him. But he had to fight the robot
that saved her. Sonic won, but he stopped Sonic before destroying him.
"Sonic… my hero…"
But, then he sent her with Tails,
off of the Egg Carrier. Sure, it was true that It was going to crash, but she
wanted to go with him. So, that's were she was… she was in her hotel room in
Station Square while Sonic was out on adventures again. Tails said he saw Sonic
chasing Eggman into the Mystic Ruins, but wasn't sure. She wanted to help her
bird friend find his family and get rid of the robot chasing them, all by
herself. She wanted to do that to impress Sonic. Hopefully then, he would like
her, but until he got back, all she could do was sit, daydream ad plan.
"A plan… that's it!" She
jumped off the bed. I'll make him want me!"
It was simple… all she had to do
was seduce him. If he wouldn't listen to her, then he'll just have to see
what he was missing. That's what she thought anyway. Maybe her bird
friend could help her too.
"I'll invite everyone to a
party, and then me and Sonic can have some private time together. What do you
think, birdie?"
Her bird friend looked at her
funny, then chirped something.
"You think it won't work?
Don't say that… I'm sure that he will like me. I know!" she said,
jumping off the bed and scooping up the bird. "Let's go find them! Then we
could invite them personally!"
The two friends headed out the
door.

Just then, Sonic met up with his
best friend after throwing Eggman a beating he wouldn't forget. Tails go to
him first, chasing him around the Speed Highway, finally fighting him in front
of the Casino (Casinopolis). It didn't take too long for Tails to catch him
and defeat him before he ran off. That's when Sonic found him heading for his
secret base in the Mystic Ruins. After being transported to the strange shrine
where he met Tikal, Eggman was flying overhead and Sonic chased him to his base.
Eggman, having reached there first, put his troops on red alert for the blue
intruder.
~*Flashback*~
Sonic easily blasted through the
laser fences, destroyed the guard bots and blasted through the rotating floors.
He quickly descended down the turbine shaft by darting from panel to panel,
pouncing helibots that got in the way. He swiftly made it to the lower level to
be faced with an emergency alert and to be surrounded by ground troops. Not even
dithered by the numbers against him, Sonic made for a quick light speed attack
and drastically reduced their numbers… make that eliminated. He dodged the
spiked flooring and made it through the first of the fan rooms until he met
another batch of ground troops. Not wanting to wait any longer, he dashed at
light speed to the speed panel on the far side of the room. More fan rooms and
bots and a final batch of ground troops frustrated Sonic enough to release the
Gold in him (Golden Sonic) and vapourized the enemies. He returned to normal and
blazed out of the room to the final drop shaft. He jumped and collected some
rings, avoiding the spiked balls and sped through the remaining bots and
obstacles, and finally met up with a waiting Eggman.
"Well, if it isn't my pal,
Sonic," Eggman said flatly. "I'm surprised that you mad it this far." He
then retreated into his mech suit and proceeded to fly up the shaft with it,
tearing up the walls in the process.
"Hold it right there, Eggman!"
Sonic grabbed onto a conveniently placed rocked booster and chased Eggman to the
top level.
~*End
Flashback*~


Amy, who found the two friends
conversing, snuck up on them from behind and was listening to Sonics adventure,
standing there in a dream-like state, relishing his words, not even noticing
when the two were calling to her. She was woken be two hands on her shoulders
shaking her lightly.
"Amy? Amy! Are you okay?"
"Sure, Sonic, I'm fine."
Then Amy, realizing whom she was talking to, nearly fainted as she threw her
arms around his neck, drawing him close. "Sonic! You came to rescue me! My
hero…!" She planted a big kiss on him, smooching his lips, causing him to
blush and pull away kind of quick.
"Amy…!"
Amy pulled away and giggled as she
hugged her hips and blushed. "Sorry, Sonic…" Tails looked at the two
funny, but then shook it off. "So what clunker did Eggman have against you
this time? And, how did ya beat it?"
"Well, it was some kind of snake
looking thing with a laser cannon that he kept trying to fry me with. And, I was
fighting on some kind of sky panel flooring thingies. Anyway, I just went to the
heart of the problem; basically, I aimed form him until he and his snake suit
couldn't take anymore."
"Wow… that's amazing,
Sonic!"
"Nah… it was nothing," he
replied, brushing her off.
"Well," Tails started, "when
I faced Eggman, he was in this walking suit thing and tried to stomp on me, but
I pretty much did the same thing as you, Sonic. When I toppled him, I aimed
directly for Eggman too."
"That's cool, Tails," Amy
interrupted. "I hope you're okay, though."
"I'm fine…" Tails
grumbled, rather indignantly.
"Anyways… I came over here to
invite you guys to my party. I'm going to have it in the hotel's reception
room."
"Coolness! What's the party
for?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, um… I don't know… for
running Eggman our of Station Square… or something…"
"Sounds good to me! What do you
think, Tails?"
Tails suddenly didn't feel up to
partying anymore. But, he would go along anyway. "It sounds nice… I guess we
could invite Knuckles and the crew too…"
Knuckles…? Amy thought.
She didn't like the sound of that… For some reason, Knuckles didn't like
her too much. There were a few reasons that could be possible. The number one
would be how she used the power of a Chaos Emerald, in Knothole Village, without
permission. Originally, she wished the Emerald to make her older so she could go
on adventures with Sonic, but he still wouldn't let her go. However, ever
since he saved her from harm the first time, she wondered if she really wished
to be older just so she could be with him. Another possible reason could
be the way she acts around him.
Amy wondered, Maybe my
obsession with Sonic is making them sick…if so, the why is it only Knuckles
acting so weird? Or have I been so naïve as to not notice anyone else's
behavior? Does that mean that everyone else hates me too? Suddenly, Amy didn't feel like partying much either…
"Knuckles…? Yeah… I guess we could invite him…"
Sonic looked at her funny.
"Sure! Let's go!" He turned towards the hotel and started to run.
While on their way to the hotel,
Tails caught up with Amy and stopped her. "Amy? Did you get in another fight
with Knux again?"
She lowered her had and sadly
nodded. Tails was the only person other than Knuckles himself that knew of the
conflict between them. She never even thought of telling Sonic herself in fear
of it ruining any chances she might have had with him.
"Yeah… I wanted to ask him
what was wrong with me, but instead, he yelled at me… Oh, Tails… I don't
know what he wants or what I should do…"
"Hmm…" Tails mused. "Maybe
I could get Sonic to talk to him…"
Amy's eyes brightened. "Would
you? Oh, Tails… you're the greatest!" She gave him a big hug and ran in
the direction of the hotel.
Tails smiled after her. Looks
like some progress might be made after all…

Amy was back at the hotel with
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. She was up in her hotel room while the others three
were in the reception hall, listening to music and getting the place ready. She
was going through her clothes for some thing sure to catch his attention. So
far, her bird friend didn't like any of them. She had to wonder if he wanted
to help her at all. What she didn't think about was the fact that he might be
helping her suffer from heartache. So, she decided to stay with her bed
mini-dress. She did, however, choose a set of lingerie for when she invited him
up to her room for later. She then headed back down to the hall.
When she got there, the guests
hadn't arrived yet. Sonic was with Knuckles in the corner talking while Tails
was tuning up the deejay equipment.
"Hey, guys!" she greeted
cheerfully.
She was met with the same type of
greeting, mixed in with grumbles from Knuckles, which she frowned at. They
continued to wait for the crowd until Amy pulled Tails off to the side.
"Has Sonic talked to Knuckles
about me yet?" she asked impatiently.
"No… not yet. But, it looks as
if they might be right now." Their conversation was cut short by a knock on
the door. "They're here!" Tails ran to the door to let the guests in.
"Hey, guys!"
The crowd greeted him as he let
them in. Amy approached cautiously and stood a little behind Tails while he
introduced them.
"Amy? Meet Rotor. He's the
mechanic for the Freedom Fighters."
"Hello." Rotor was a large
walrus that wore his baseball cap backwards. He also brought his tools on a work
belt he was wearing. She greeted him.
"This is Bunny Rabbot."
"Howdy." Bunny was… well, a
bunny. She was half metal though.
"Bunny wa almost roboticized a
whiles back," Tails informed her. "We were able to save her on time."
"That's why ah'm all shiny
and such." Amy smiled and greeted her.
"This is Hershey." Tails
motioned his hand towards a feline figure. She was black and white in colour and
wearing some kind of green work dress. "Hershey works as security at Castle
Acorn."
"How do you do?" Amy greeted
her.
"And last, but not least, this
is Sally. Sally lives in Castle Acorn. She is the Princess. Amy gasped.
"It's a pleasure to meet
you."
"No…" Amy stuttered,
curtseying, "the pleasure is all mine." Although Sally was not dressed like
a princess, donning a blue jean jacket, Amy found it necessary to pay her
respects.
"That is not necessary, Amy,"
Sally told her. "We are all friends here."
Amy stood up. "You have quite
the team, princess."
"Please… call me Sally. And
right now, Antoine should be on his way. He is also part of the Freedom
Fighters. Sadly, we have one who cannot join us. Lupe was captured and
roboticized a while back by Dr. Robotnik. She is still in his possession."
"I'm so sorry…" Amy
started.
"Don't be," Knuckles
interrupted. "She fought nobly 'til the end."
She turned to Knuckles while the
rest got uneasy. "But, couldn't she escape?"
"Don't you think she would
have tried?" he answered coldly. "Eggman's programming stopped her from
getting too far from him!"
"Couldn't you rescue her or
something?" Amy retorted, sounding a bit frantic.
"We have tried on numerous
accounts to free her," Sally stepped in, "but Dr. Robotnik's defense
systems were too much for us. We couldn't get her free."
"How could we," Knuckles
continued, "when you always have Sonic rescuing you?"
"What are you talking about?"
Amy asked, starting to get angry with him.
Don't play innocent with me,
Amy. You've been after Sonic for the longest now!"
"Knuckles? What's wrong with
you?" Bunny asked. "Take it easy on the girl! We know you don't like all
that much, but she's the host of this party!"
"Why should I, Bunny?"
Knuckles retaliated, turning to her. "Ever since Amy's been around, there
has been nothing but trouble! And her going after Sonic constantly is just going
to get her in more trouble that we have to rescue her from!"
"It's not true!" Amy
screamed at him.
"Is it? Who got captured at
Twinkle Park just because she wanted to go some place with Sonic? Yeah, I
thought it was you too. And who used the powers of the Chaos Emeralds just so
she could grow old enough to try and go out with Sonic? Uh huh… that was you
too. Well, here's a news flash for you Amy… Sonic's taken! He's going
out with Princess Sally and there's nothing you can do about it! So, take
you're trouble making elsewhere!"
"It's… not…" Amy
couldn't finish, tears forming in her eyes.
Sally went up to Knuckles and
crossed her arms. "Knuckles! That was totally uncalled for!"
"Yeah!" Hershey joined in,
getting in Knuckles face. "Where do you get off telling Amy things like
that?"
"I told her because it was the
truth," he replied plainly.
Amy, who was speechless and
frozen, started to cry. She unfroze herself and ran out of the reception hall
and the hotel. In a way Knuckles was right. If it wasn't for her running into
Twinkle Park without Sonic, he wouldn't have to come looking for her and
rescuer, and maybe he could have used the time to rescue Lupe instead, Maybe it
was better off if she just left. They could do a whole lot better without her.
She continued to run through the streets as her bird friend tried franticly to
catch up with her.
"Amy!" Tails called from the
window.
"Let her go," Knuckles bit
bitterly. "We're better off without her."
Tails jumped away from the window
and advanced on Knuckles. "What's your problem!?"
Bunny stood in front of Tails and
held him back. "Hold it, Tails… don't cause a scene. Go and see if you can
find her."
Tails growled at him and flew out
the window. "Some friend you are, Knuckles…"
Hershey walked up and smacked
Knuckles upside the head, him being taken totally off guard. "What's wrong
with you, mister! Why did you blow her off like that? She's going to get into
trouble out there and you know it!"
"Which is exactly my point."
"Screw you and your points,
Knuckles! Robotnik is still out there! She could be in danger!"
"Zero is probably still out
there looking for her too!" Sonic ranted, clearly irritated.
"Count me out. I've had enough
of her."
"Knuckles!" Sonic balled his
fists as a faint golden aura started to form around him.
"Don't worry, Sonic," Sally
interrupted." Knuckles and me are going to have a little talk. Go and find Amy
and bring her back."
Sonic nodded and blazed through
and out of the hotel.

Amy collapsed along the outskirts
of Station Square. She hadn't run as fast as before, so as to let her
feathered friend catch up with her. "Why does he have to be so mean birdie?
Now nobody likes me… Knuckles hates me and so does Sonic…" She continued
to cry before hearing someone call for her.
"Amy!"
"It's Tails…" she
sniffled, "but I don't wanna talk now… not anymore…"
Wiping her eyes, she got back up
and continued to run out of the city… until she ran into something hard and
metallic, making her tumble backwards to the floor.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed, rubbing
her head and looking up. She saw a face that she thought she would never have to
face again. She gasps. "Oh no! Not you! Tails! Sonic! Help me!"
