Disclaimer: I own Sonic and the gang…in my dreams.

Just a short story I came up with while watching some tv. Kinda random and vague but it's not bad. Read and tell me what you think please.

Why did I jump?

I know good and well that I can't swim and that I'd drown in all that water. But that still didn't stop me from jumping. The moment I saw her falling backwards off of the cliff the only thing on my mind was 'save her'…even if I couldn't save myself. And that was the only thing in my head as I was soaring down through the air, reaching for her. She extended her arms too in hopes of me catching her but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Our hands were only inches apart before she hit the water and continued going downwards. And even when I hit the water that didn't stop me from still trying to save her. I saw her going down and I reached for her; I guess you could say that I tried to swim…but it wasn't for long. I watched her go deeper and deeper and eventually her eyes closed. I couldn't stop myself from calling her name.

"Amy!" But of course it sounded like gulps underwater

Just saying those two syllables caused a lot of water intake. I stopped trying to swim and started trying to breathe. After swinging my hands and feet violently in every direction and not being able to hold my breath much longer, I passed out. When I woke up I was okay and so was Amy but there was still something wrong.

"Sonic, thank you for trying to save me!" Amy had said along with many other things. "But why'd you do it?"

This question boggled my mind. Why did I do it?

"You know, because you can't swim or anything and I could. So why'd you do it?"

"I…don't know." That was all I could say.

It was the truth…I didn't know. She was right; she could swim and I couldn't. She wasn't in any true danger…and neither was I until I jumped. Why did I jump? I couldn't stop myself from trying to save her. Amy. The loud, demanding, annoying girl who chased me almost every day of my life. Why? And why her at that? Would I have done this if it was someone else? Cream? Rouge? Tails? Shadow? Knuckles? Yeah, definitely Knuckles; he owes me money.

So many questions and not nearly enough answers. Is it possible there's a specific reason why I did what I did? Maybe…just maybe Amy means more to me than what I thought. Maybe…just maybe she's more than just a friend. Maybe…just maybe that's the reason I jumped.

Maybe.

Corny, yes, this I know. Like I said, it's just something random. But I thought it was worth sharing with you all, so do me a favor and tell me what's on your mind. I'd appreciate very much, thanks.
