Well, well, well. If it isn't my first story here. I'm so excited to be writing this! I've been dying to post something here and now I can! Since my creative juices are flowing like crazy today!

Anyway, this is sort of an experiment on writing characters then actual shipping. So, yeah.

Well, might as well start with the most popular pairing, right?

Sonic/Amy: The Reason Why

He had no idea how he got himself into this.

Maybe it was Ana's endless determination to find the hottest guy on the planet. Maybe it was said hot guy's woe the seemed to have vanished unexplainably. Oh, who was he kidding? It was both. Surely, it had to be. There was no other explanation why he was here now, seeing Amy's hundredth attempt at winning a date with him.

But mostly, it was why he was actually pondering his answer rather then immediately going to his default answer for her usually fruitless effort.

If only he hadn't been so generous that day.

Back in Mazuri, he had remembered seeing the face of the teenage girl then. It was full of distraught of the opportunity beyond the small village that was unattainable to her, or so said her father. Sonic himself knew how being cooped in one place felt like. It was about as pleasant as eating a bowl of rusty nails. Feeling empathy for the native, he walked up to her and offered his assistance. He was expecting some sort of hammy speech of how she yearned for a better and more successful life, and that such a third-world place was no place for ambitions or something along those lines. He certainly didn't expect her response when he had asked her why she had such a long face.

"My prince isn't here!" She cried with the woeful expression still tact on her slender face.

"Pardon?"

"There's no guy here for me! This is such a small village, and I'm like the only teenager around here! My prince isn't here!" Ana shouted again. Her explanation only cleared up so much as Sonic was still unsure of what she meant. Clearly disregarding him, Ana's face changed suddenly as a sort of light bulb went off in her head. She smiled mischievously (or so the blue speedster thought.) and lowered herself to see him at eye level. "Or maybe…" She thought out loud. Sonic, for the first time in a while, was feeling that he should have just minded his own business.

"Hey can you do me a favor?" Ana requested. Before he could even reply, she already seemed to have decided herself that he accepted her favor. Joy. "Even though I'm sure he's nowhere here, could you try to find my prince here? Thanks!" And with that, Sonic was roped in to doing what Ana had told him. He certainly didn't have the heart to reject her now that she seemed so hopeful.

"On the bright side, maybe it won't be so bad!" Chip, who had seemed to be too busy blending into the background until now, cheered the reluctant hedgehog. Sonic shrugged in response.

It was only a short time after that Sonic saw what Ana was going on about. The population of the Mazuri village was only old men and women and their children. Literally, she had no suitors where she currently resided. All that was left to do was confirm the teenager's suspicions. Shouldn't be too hard, so Sonic thought.

"I knew it! I guess that means I'll have to travel outside the village…" The native girl trailed off as she emitted a sort of happy aura. "Thanks for helping me out, Sonic!" She then departed to her hut.

And that was that.

"I hope she finds her prince! I hear it's hard to find royalty nowadays." Chip commented

"That's not exactly what she meant." Sonic chuckled at Chip's naivety, which only left the floating imp-like creature confused.

"Hey, what's so funny?"

And that was the end of that.

Ha, if it were only so easy. The very next day, Sonic got an unexpected visitor in Spagonia. Standing outside the Spagonia University campus was the seeker of God's gift to women herself.

"Sonic! I didn't know you were here!" Ana declared ecstatically, as if her prayers had been answered. Without wasting any time, the teenager once again had asked the same favor as of yesterday. Sonic mentally groaned. On the bright side, at least it's sort of entertaining to see if Ana's wishes were to come true.

However, the results were just the same.

"Darn, guess this isn't the place for me either." Ana moaned in defeat. As quickly as it came, her frustration evaporated and was replaced with a fiery determination. Her amber eyes sparked. "Doesn't matter, I guess! I'll travel the world if that's what it takes to get my prince!" She dashed off like a runaway train with a "Thanks, Sonic!" and her figure disappeared as she turned a corner.

Sonic couldn't help but let a laugh escape his lips at seeing Ana so fired up. Chip followed in the laughter.

"Well, good luck to her!" Chip declared as he flew off in another direction. Sonic only grinned as he followed Chip. Something told him that Ana reminded him of a certain pink hedgehog he knew. It wasn't much, but he couldn't help but see the similarities. He didn't think much of it then.

Then, Sonic saw the fate liked to pull jokes at his dismay. During settling in in Shamar, he once again found the Mazurian hopeless romantic. Sonic found it a bit freaky how often he's been finding familiar faces.

"Wow, what a coincidence!" The coffee colored girl proclaimed once she laid eyes on the blue hedgehog. "Just the guy I was looking for!"

"Yeesh, don't tell me I'm the prince you're looking for!" Sonic cried in mock disgust. Ana laughed heartily.

"Eww, no way! I'm not like that." she proclaimed between giggles. "Anyway, as you already know, I'm still looking for my prince! I've got a feeling he's here, for sure!" Her eyes lit up as she continued. "So, if you wouldn't mind—"

"Yeah, yeah. Talk to all the guys here. I know the drill by now." Sonic snickered as he found himself once again looking for suitors for the Mazuri girl. He wondered if any bystanders found this behavior suspicious…

"Hey, Sonic! Why are you in such a hurry?" a foreign voice called out to the sapphire hedgehog. Sonic looked at the source of the sound. It belonged to a local who was also known to be the tourist guide. A light bulb went off in Sonic's head.

"Come with me!" he suddenly demanded as he dragged his unsuspecting victim to his destination. The poor sufferer looked like he was facing a one thousand jigsaw puzzle. Sonic took a mental note of apologizing later.

When Sonic arrived where Ana was, he was certainly unsuspecting of the oddity about to occur. The traditional-clad teenager looked at the source of the outcries that were spewing out like a broken sprinkler.

Then two pairs of amber eyes met.

Right then and there, Ana's face changed completely. Her eyes widened and sparkled like the night sky, her rosy lips curved upward, and her cheeks flushed a pastel pink color. She looked like she had just spotted the Eighth Wonder of the World. Maybe she had, under her standards.

"Sonic, you did it!" Ana looked like she was going to bawl, seeing how elated she was. "You found my prince!" Before anybody could respond, or even blink, she was at the tourist guide's side and holding him like he was going to fade away if she let go. "Oh, thank you…" The male local looked beyond baffled.

"Uh… do I know you?"

"Now you do! My name is Ana, and I'm your princess!" she squealed as she buried her face in his chest. That certainly didn't put the man in question at ease. He looked desperately at Sonic, looking for an answer to his burning question. His eyes shouted "What in the world did you set me up for?" Abruptly, Ana's head shot up.

"Time's a wastin', honey! We need to be wedded at once!" she declared out of left field. Her now fiancée looked like he was going to go into cardiac arrest at any moment. Sonic and Chip were conflicted on whether to call out Ana on her suddenness or burst into laughter.

"W-Wedded?" Ana nodded violently. "B-b-b-b-but…!"

"No buts! Our lives are only so long! Let's go, honey!" the bride-to-be laughed heartily as she hauled her fiancée out of Shamar.

As soon as the scene ended, Sonic couldn't help but feel a certain familiarity in the situation. He chuckled to himself as he soon remembered all of Amy's antics. Yes, there was now a lot of similarity between Ana and Amy. Both wanted nothing more than to find their knight in shining armor. Once they did, they threw themselves upon them and declared their undying love. Although, Amy was still working on getting Sonic, at the least, to go on a date with her. Sonic sniggered to himself again. Right, like that will ever happen.

And not long after that, the blue racer received some sort of letter from Ana. The memory of her victory still fresh in his mind, he opened the envelope containing the letter. Once he read the contents, Sonic knew he had no other choice but to follow the instructions. At least it'll be fun, Sonic thought.

And so, he was in Mazuri again for the final task.

"I'm counting on you, Sonic!" Ana pleaded as her eyes remained hopeful. Not much could be said about her future hubby except that he looked like he didn't want to be there.

On the opposite side of Sonic was the second-in-command leader of Mazuri, also known as Ana's father. Sonic could tell from the look on the elder's face that he was troubled. Putting two and two together, Ana's father didn't approve of her fiancée, or the idea of her being wedded so soon. Obviously, Ana disagreed. Family conflict. Sonic sighed.

"You say you only met him once. How do you know he can be trusted to hold up a family, or that he even loves you back?" the ambassador began as his gaze at the young couple was stern. The tourist guide visibly flinched, but Ana stood her ground. She returned his look with a glare of her own.

"Yes, I know he can do it! When I laid eyes on him, I knew he was the one for me! Why can't you understand?" Ana growled as her gaze on her father became fiercer. Immediately, the elderly father turned to Sonic.

"Sonic," he began. "Obviously, this argument will go nowhere without an outside opinion. Tell us, who do you think is correct?"

All eyes were on Sonic as he pondered. This was a rather unusual case that he was being forced to do something. Extra points due to it being about love and matrimony. Usually, Sonic would reply "You're asking the wrong person." and laugh it off. But looking at the fierce stares from both parties indicated that there was no talking his way out of this one. It also indicated that they were becoming impatient for his answer.

"Well… I think…" Sonic began, biting his lower lip. Well, that's a start. But, what now? "That you should trust your daughter's instinct." Ana beamed while her father's eyes widened.

"…You really think so?"

"Well… yeah." The ambassador remained quite to think.

"I guess you may have a point." he turned to Ana and her fiancée. "Ana, I will trust you. You have my blessing." Ana squealed in delight.

"Oh, thank you father!" she hugged her father tightly. He grinned and left to tell her mother. After he was gone, Ana proceeded to squeal and thank Sonic.

"Oh, I can't thank you enough! If it wasn't for you, I would be alone all my life!" the native teenager looked like she was ready to break into song. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

"Hey, no problem!" Sonic laughed and gave Ana and her groom-to-be a thumbs up. For the first time since he arrived, the Shamarian sighed and began to speak.

"Well, guess that means I'm getting married now…" he and Sonic chuckled, while Ana was all smiles. "I guess it can't be too bad." He looked at Ana and gave her a grin. "After all, I don't think anyone else in the world loves me as much as you." Ana flushed as she hugged her fiancée.

Yes, that was the trigger of it all. Sonic found himself to be more effected by that phrase then Ana.

I don't think anyone else in the world loves me as much as you.

That line kept repeating itself like a broken record as he encountered Amy, who was waiting for him outside the Professor's lab.

"Sonic, there you are!" Amy had her usual bubbly smile as she continued to speak. "You only have one more temple left, right? Maybe after all this, I'll let you take me out on a date~!" she giggled innocently. Even with that, Sonic knew her request was dead serious. It always was. This happened almost all the time. Amy asks for a date, Sonic rejects. It was like a routine for the two.

But this time around, Sonic was hesitating in his usual answer.

I don't think anyone else in the world loves me as much as you do.

Sonic couldn't believe it, but he was actually thinking this over. He knew as a world-wide hero, having a girlfriend was not wise. He also feared having this sort of commitment would slow him down. He knew himself, being stuck in something was just not his thing.

But, maybe… He could just give her a chance? It wouldn't kill him to go on one date with the girl, right? It would make her happy, and that was way better then her angry, right? Right?

I don't think anyone else in the world loves me as much as you do.

… Right. Just to make her happy.

"That could be fun."

"Ooh, Soni—wait, what?" Amy's eyes became as wide as saucers and her mouth became a half circle. She looked beyond flabbergasted.

"You heard me." Sonic couldn't help but me amused by her reaction.

"Y-you mean it?" Amy's expression quickly changed. She looked like she had found the lost city of Atlantis and found the cure for cancer all in one day. In Amy-like fashion, she quickly hugged Sonic tightly. "Yaaay~! It's a promise then!" Although the hug was a little too tight for Sonic's liking, he felt like he had accomplished something by making Amy this happy. She then let go and shoved him towards the lab entrance. "Well, hurry up and save the world already!"

"Alright, alright." Sonic laughed. "See you later, then!" As he walked up the stairs to the door, Sonic could hear Amy giggling uncontrollably. He might have also heard a bit of humming in the mix.

Yeah, a happy Amy is way better then an angry Amy.
