Amy's Quest For Love

Amy Rose had seen better days. Normally when something like this happened to her she would brush it off with a smile and a quiet "next time", but today was different.

How you ask? Well, in order to fully understand this particular situation, we will have to rewind a few hours back in time to where the cause of Amy's current predicament started.

*flashback*

It was a beautiful day in station square, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping a melodic tune, people wandered peacefully about the city making idle chat with friends, or the same hustle and bustle that can be expected in a city as big as station square, the point was it was a great day to relax, which was exactly what Sonic the hedgehog was doing as he casually strolled through a park.

"Man, it's so rare to have such a peaceful day." Said Sonic as he took a deep breath," no Eggman to ruin anything, no thugs looking for trouble, and no ancient creatures bent on destruction, this day is perfect! Nothing could possibly go wrong.

SONIC!" Yelled a familiar female voice.

"Never mind," Muttered Sonic, the owner of the previously mentioned voice rapidly approached him.

It was Amy Rose, Sonics "Number one fan" and self-proclaimed girlfriend.

It wasn't like he hated her, she was actually a good friend, a trusted companion whenever needed, and had helped save his life once or twice with no regard for her own safety. The problem was that whenever she wasn't being a "good friend" or "trusted companion" she was a constant annoyance! (At least to him anyway). Whenever he tried to have some time to himself, like he was doing now, she always showed up out of nowhere, went into his personal space (to which he didn't appreciate), and tried to ask him out on a date. It's not to say he didn't find her attractive, the thing was he just wasn't interested in starting a relationship (especially with someone so clingy) but that simple fact didn't seem to deter Amy from her efforts on asking him out, and while it was flattering that she was so devoted to him, it had started getting annoying a long time ago and now, after so many years of this happening, he was on his last nerves. Couldn't he enjoy one day to himself!?

"Sonic, there you are! I've been looking all over for you." Panted Amy as she leaned against a nearby lamppost next to Sonic to catch her breath, she had been looking for him all day, running and jogging at times to make sure she didn't miss him incase he was taking one of his afternoon runs.

"Yeah, what is Amy?" Said Sonic in an aggravated tone, he already knew what she wanted and the answer would be the same as always.

"Well…" Amy drawled out, "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me, since it's such a great day and all." She said with a rather cute smile on her face.

"No Amy, I don't want to hang out with you, can't you see I'm trying to relax?" Asked Sonic with a barely concealed look of annoyance on his face.

"But Sonic!" whined Amy, "Days like today are hard to come by, which is why it's such a perfect day to have a date!" Said Amy, sticking out her lower lip in a pout.

"No, Amy!" Said Sonic, this time with a bit of anger in his voice. Why couldn't she take a hint? He had no desire to go on a date with her whatsoever, and she was starting to push him to his breaking point.

"Pretty please Sonic? It's just one date, and I promise you'll enjoy yourself! Just you and me; we can go to a fancy restaurant! Or we can go to the movies and see a romantic comedy! It'll be so much Fun!" Squealed Amy with barely contained joy at the things she imagined she could do together with Sonic (Not that you pervs!).

At this point Sonic just ignored Amy and continued on his walk. Whenever Amy got into one of her "fantasies" she would become even more annoying! "If that's even possible." Sonic quietly muttered to himself as he continued walking since he hoped to lose Amy in the process, which bared no results when she kept walking next to him without even looking at where she was going while still talking to herself, out loud might I add, about things she and Sonic could do together if he accepted her offer of a date.

"- And then we would get married and have four children –What?- named Amelia, Sonic jr., Rosie and Michael! We would be so happy together forever! And we would continue to love each other until the end of time." Amy sighed dreamily to herself, oblivious to the look of shock and horror Sonic was sending at her.

"KIDS!MARRIAGE?MICHAEL!" Sonic thought to himself in absolute horror.

"So you see Sonic? You have to accept or else you and I will never fall in love, get married, or have kids! So please Sonic! Come with me and all our dreams will come true!" squealed Amy as she threw her arms around Sonic in a tight hug.

He had enough of this. This had been going on and on for years and would continue to happen if he didn't say something that would make her see that he wasn't interested in her, and he was partially aware that during the conversation he had with the pink hedgehog they had drawn a few stares from people around them. "This is so embarrassing..." Sonic thought to himself.

"No." Sonic said in a deadpanned tone, "Now go away Amy!" Yelled Sonic as a slightly visible tick mark formed on his forehead.

"Please Sonic!" At this point Amy had started begging, it was such a perfect day for a date! Why couldn't he see that?

Sonic and the people around them watched as Amy got on her knees and clasped her hands together in front of her and said "please" over and over again. This was the final straw! She was begging him! In public no less! She was talking marriage for god's sake! Sonic was angry- No, furious!-that Amy would publicly humiliate him like this; in his eyes, she was being selfish, she was asking him to recuperate her feelings while not taking into account his own, and frankly, he had had enough! Which was why, in a fit of anger, he thought she deserved the things he would say to her next.

"You know what Amy?" Sonic said in a low whisper," I've had enough of you! How many times do I have to say 'no' before you start taking the hint? Well here's a news flash for ya! I don't like you! In any way, shape, or form! You're not my friend, in fact all you are to me is an annoyance! You constantly bug me for dates, you get even remotely jealous when I talk to any other girl, and you never leave me alone! So why don't you get up, go home, and get out of my life! Because I'm sick of you! As far as I'm concerned my life would be a lot better without you!" Yelled Sonic as he relayed his thoughts to the pink hedgehog, maybe he might have gone a little bit too far, but she needed to hear this as far as he was concerned.

"Sonic…" Whispered Amy as she stared at him in shock, tears had started to fall from her eyes as she listened to the blue hedgehogs hurtful words, she felt as if her very soul shattered at the moment he finished with his tirade, her heart beat painfully in her chest as the love of her life said that he would be better off without her and, with a sob and a sniffle, she stood up and ran as fast as she could, away from Sonic, away from anyone as a trail of tears followed behind Amy as she ran.

Sonic said nothing as he watched the distraught pink hedgehog run away. While he felt sort of guilty for saying those things to Amy, he believed there was no other way that he could have gotten her to leave him alone for once,"and besides, she's just gonna come back tomorrow and keep bugging me; she'll be back to her bubbly and annoying self soon enough" Sonic thought to himself. He turned and continued his walk from earlier, oblivious to the sad and pitiful looks some people were sending in the direction the distraught pink hedgehog took off running, and the shameful looks some were sending at him as he seemed to ignore the fact he had just broken a girls heart.

*Flashback End*

And that was how Amy's predicament came to be as she was currently running through a forest miles away from station square, or civilization in general, as tears continued to endlessly poor from her eyes as painful sobs racked her throat.

"How could he say those things to me? I thought he liked me!" Amy thought to herself as she ran blindly through the forest, not caring where she was going as long as she could get away from Sonic and his hurtful words, but it was no use, no matter how many times she tried to brush it off like she always did, an image of the angry expression on his face as he said those heartbreaking words," As far as I'm concerned my life would be a lot better without you!", kept flashing through her mind and her tears would begin anew.

As Amy continued to run through the thick forest, with tears blinding her eyes from the path, she didn't notice when she stepped off said path and continue to run to a steep hill nearby, thus was why she squeaked in surprise when she suddenly felt air, and not ground, under her feet and began to plummet a good 100ft down a cliff that was hidden behind the hill she just ran up.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" yelled Amy in fright as the ground quickly started to come to her vision and what would certainly be her demise if she didn't do something to cushion her fall.

She looked to her near left and saw branches sticking out of the side of the cliff, she quickly came to a decision and, with no small experience in doing so, what with all the times she had fallen from great heights, she rolled herself to the left in mid-air and hoped the branches would cushion her fall. It worked, somewhat, as the branches did slow her descent enough so that she wouldn't die upon impact with the hard looking ground, but gaining a multitude of cuts to her back, face, and arms as she tumbled through the last few remaining branches that would drop her onto the ground below.

With a rather loud *thud* Amy fell to the earth, cut and bruised and in pain both emotionally and physically. She felt consciousness start to leave her, and as Amy let herself succumb to the sweet embrace of the darkness creeping along the edges of her vision, the last thing she thought before losing consciousness was the wound she felt in her heart and the individual who had inflicted it.

"Sonic…"Amy muttered to herself as she finally lost consciousness, and all was silent in the forest as the broken hearted hedgehog laid there, injured and in pain.
