CHAPTER 3: TOO CLOSE TO LOVE YOU, the end of a superstar.

(2 months earlier)

“Sonic! Sonic! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, You hear me calling you so ANSWER!” yelled a very upset cherry blossom hedgehog. You may ask why this hedgehog upset, and it starts with an “S” and has 5 letters to make up one word...Sonic. Apparently, Sonic didn’t show up for her special date with him. “I hope he knows the word, ‘date’ in my vocabulary means me and him alone,” mumbles the sad pink hedgehog, “I wonder what excuses it is this time...” She try to mock Sonic’s voice saying, “Sorry Ames, I forgot or Sorry Eggman’s robots...so it explains it self, oh or better yet like he always say I’ll make it up to you, oh really make it up my a-”started the female hedgehog, but a loud cough distracted her. She turns around and comes face to face with an old looking dog that had an eye patch on his eye. Amy was pretty frightened, but her anger decided to make her feel confident. “Oh yeah, what do YOU want?!” she asked rudely but her anger was not towards him but only to a green eyed, blue hedgehog. “Oh I’m sorry, but...why are you yelling at that tree? Did it do something wrong to you?” the man asks with so much concern. Amy was baffled and started to blush, she found it embarrassing.

   “No wonder why Sonic thinks your crazy,” she said to herself, “Well you see I was, basically it the same problem as before.” “May I ask what this same problem is?” questioned the strange man. “Well there is this guy, whom i love dearly, and he missed our date.” she said. “So your boyfriend didn’t come to your date, maybe he has a good reason.” replied the old man. “Well he’s not my boyfriend in a way, I want him too though. I mean I do everything for him! I make him chili dogs! I fight with him, when Eggman attacks! I try to support him, but I can’t...he always run away from me. Am I not lovable? Is there something wrong with me? My marriage proposal sure were over board, but can’t he just take me to one date. HECK, I grew up older just for HIM! I've been after him for years now, and I think my heart can’t take it anymore. He hurts me mentally, and I gonna give up soon if he doesn’t save me. Save me from himself.” cried the pink hedgehog. The old man didn’t know what to do. He guessed all that anger was building up in the preteen hedgehog. If only she knew that he went through the same thing.

“My dear, I went through the same thing as you did, I even lost my eye for her. She never wanted me, and told me to stop while i was ahead. I was madly in love with her, but now after all of this could i really call it love. Did I even know what love was back then? I heard it was crazy, but insane would be a better word.” stated the old man. Amy rose looked baffled, of course she was in love with Sonic the Hedgehog, world hero. Then why did his words tear her up. Thinking about it now, did she even know what love is? People told her it was a fuzzy feeling in your heart. Wow, Amy Rose protector of love didn’t even know what love was. Feeling like a beat up box, only realizing the truth. She didn’t know officially, if she love Sonic, was it only a crush? Well she sure did feel crushed. She cried “Then what do I do?” He could only look at her with pity. “You need to let him go my dear” he said then he walked away.

“No! NO! NOOO!!!!” the dance instructor said, “you’re doing it all wrong!” Amy...I mean DeDe never liked her dance instructor but she knew she gotten the routine down perfectly. “I don’t even know why I’m stuck with teaching some grape colored rat who can’t dance. Heck she can’t even sing for that matter!” the teacher scolded again. Amy had enough of her rant, and decided to speak up. “I gotten down that routine perfectly, and I CAN SING!” “Sorry honey, but your singing makes my ears bleed.” she said back, “You know what I’m trying to help you but you are a spoiled brat anyways. I quit find a new teacher!” 

Amy could only watch as she left the room  full of mirrors. That was Amy’s sixth teacher who quit. “Maybe...they are right. Maybe I can’t dance or sing...I’m hopeless” she cried. She looked at herself in the mirror and just analyze the monster she became. She looked at her purple fur... “I miss my bubblegum quills.”... She looked at her black and yellow outfit... “I miss my red dress, and my GoGo Boots”...and lastly her eyes... “I miss the love and joy they brought others, now they are lifeless”. Amy put her hand on the mirror and look at herself in horror. She didn’t want to be this “DeDe” person, she just wanted Sonic to love her. She knew only one thing to do left, and that was for “DeDe” to die. She knew exactly who was going to to do the job, the best final concert she will put on.

She grabbed the phone (Shadow’s) and look through the contacts. She clicked on the person she wanted to call. “Pick up, Pick up, Pick up.” she repeated to herself. The phone felt like it was ringing forever. “Hello?” said a familiar voice. She didn’t know how to respond. This was the voice that traumatized her into leaving the first place. “Hello?” the voice asked annoyed. Amy just keep listening to the voice, she needed to speak but she forgot how to. “Look Shadow or whoever you are. I don’t have ti-” but was cut off by Amy.

“Dr. Eggman, I need your help.”
