Ah, there she was! Tails had been waiting around a while, and after seeing the pink hedgehog, excitedly hopped up and flew over to her. Well, they’d made plans today, after all.

“Amy! Hi!!” He said with a smile, waving a hand. “You’re going to teach me how to make really good cookies today, right?”

Sonic let out a drag of a sigh, after saying farewell to, like… the seventh Spagonia resident who had either stopped him for a quick conversation, or had either heard from a certain super happy blabbermouth, who had to stop him for advice about his — breathe in…

Date.

Honestly, how he managed to get himself into this mess... It was just—… Amy, sometime before he decided to go punch Dark Gaia’s lights out, said “when you’re done, the world will be at peace and we can finally go out!”

He’d be lying if he said that he was paying complete attention to her. He thought she meant hanging out like usual, and said it sounded like fun, not--... well...

But when her eyes went wide and she was stricken speechless for a second, before practically glowing with happiness as she cheered... he didn’t want to correct himself. 

He didn’t want to break her heart, and.... well. 

After seeing someone so happy and bright from just a simple indirect “yes”... would you really want to say no?

“It’s a promise!”

Sadly, things only got worse and worse for the hedgehog with a date as the locals stopped him left and right -- either after hearing it from Amy, or stopping him after he mentioned it himself in passing. It went from just a nice stroll to get to their meet-up point — right outside of the college — to Sonic now finding himself with a bowtie, a bouquet in his hands behind his back, and tickets to a movie later tonight. The things offered were at least given in a nice way…! The tickets were from people who decided not to go themselves, so at least they were getting use…!

But... ugh, things were getting a lot more sappy and cliche than he was expecting, but... A promise was a promise. Only thing now was that Amy was just going to get more and more excited and hopeful about being with him and... ugh. Maybe it would’ve been better if he just said no to all of these things...

… So why was he thinking every now and then about what her reaction would be like? It’d be the usual. Fangirling, clinging, “OHHH, SONIC~”…

So… Why—? Okay, you know what. He wasn’t going to think about this anymore as he took the turn into the college and— there she was. By that strange winged ball statue right at the front. Breathe in, breathe out, and….

Red sneakers walked forward, and Sonic worked his way through the semi-busy college courtyard to get to his friend, clearing his throat as he got there as his cheeks became red fast out of embarrassment because of the stupid bowtie -- he thought his bracelet from Chip was enough to wear!! After Amy got her reaction to his little accessory out of her system, averting his gaze, he went ahead and handed her the bouquet.

“Y-Yeah…. these are, uh. Kinda for you, too.”

Ugh. Ugh, this was going to bite him back later, he just knew it—

To put it simply… he had enough.

It was one thing that Amy had been hanging out with that Sartorius dude who was in charge of the Society of Light, which. Made both him and Jaden feel weird, but now for the last week she had practically become one of them. She traded in her Slifer Red outfit for a white-and-blue uniform, and kept going off about how great the Light was. Thankfully, she wasn’t as annoying as Chazz was with it, but it did bother him.

He didn’t really care that he wasn’t supposed to be this close to the Obelisk girl’s dorm — he did it anyway, because at this point he was really concerned about losing her. About losing Amy.

About losing the friend that he… cared a lot for.

Finally, after running through the woods for what seemed like forever, there she was. About to turn into the dorm for tonight. In a blue and red blur, he jumped out of the forest with the rustling of the bushes and grass helping in his dramatic entry, raising his voice as he made himself known.

“WAIT!!!”

Customized Slifer uniform sneakers took their place firmly against the ground as Sonic braced himself for the worst. Either an argument, a shouting match, dragging Amy away from the dorm to get her away from these Light creeps, or even a duel… he was prepared for anything.

He just wanted her back.

“Alright, Ames. I get it. Sartorius is your Tarot Card Buddy… but since when did that mean you had to wear that uniform, and preach about his cause?!”

“He’s not your “buddy” anymore… He’s using you, Amy! C’mon!” The hedgehog held his hand out to his fellow Slifer dorm hedgehog, “Come back to the Red dorm with me. Everyone else has been worried about you, too, y’know! So c’mon…”

He probably looked as awkward fidgeting there as he felt, but he wasn’t ever the person to sit still easily. Yet here he was -- in Metal City, practically being stood up. By Amy Rose, of all people. The tables sure had turned... 

... W-wait. Did it count as being stood up if he wasn’t on a date with her? 

... Waiiiit... was this a date with her?? It was just a friendly outing with her... specifically just him and her... 

He blinked, and found himself with a fluttering heart and a burning face. Crap! The hand that wasn’t hanging onto his EX Gear was thumped against his chest as he did his best to calm himself down before she showed up... things would just get even more awkward if she had to see him like this...! 

I-it wasn’t like he had a crush on her or anything!! R-right?? That wasn’t what this was...! 

Sonic the Hedgehog took a deep breath as he did his best to push that idea right out of his head. No. He did not have a crush on her. 

Once it was gone, he found himself where he started. Waiting impatiently with a foot tapping against the sidewalk -- if you could count it that in a city like this that very much fit it’s name -- as Amy was running late. 

“C’mon....! Where is she...?”
