The Change Book I & II

E

 Sonic was sweating as he held a small rose on at the back of his hand.

He tapped his feet faster as he realized the time. It was 7:05 p.m. and they were supposed to meet at 7:00 p.m. Was she not coming? Didn't she want to meet with him anymore? Did she regret it last minute? Did he do wrong? Was it because he didn't use deodorant the day he asked her out? Was it because-

"Hey Sonic"

Sonic turned around, flinching a little bit as he found Amy. She was wearing a blue dress that would reach to her knees. A white bow tied on her back was strong enough around her waist for her curves to be noticeable, her one-inch white heels made her feel confident that she wasn't going to trip. Her usual red bandana was replaced by white strings tying her hair into small braids along with the rest of her loose hair. Not too many, just three for decoration.

"Were you waiting for long?" Amy asked shily. She still wasn't too comfortable with her outfits but Cream really insisted on her wearing it.

Sonic blinked rapidly, he didn't want to look stupid in front of her. "No, I just got here." That was a lie, he actually arrived one hour earlier, just to make sure he wouldn't be late.

He would always mess up with her. He would never go with her on dates or when he would go, he would be late and leave early.

"Well, should we start?"

"Do you know what's wrong with Amy?" Shadow said as he began to hit the punching bag which Omega was holding it for him.

"What do you mean?" Rouge asked as she began to hit the punching bag that was next to Shadow.

"I feel like she's has been avoiding me," Shadow added.

"I don't think she's been avoiding you...I just think she's putting herself out there more, which is a good thing in my opinion." Rouge kept punching the bag, as she began to get her rhythm.

"She doesn't have time for us anymore."

"My detector senses annoyance coming from Shadow.", Omega added.

Rouge looked at Omega surprised and offended. "Shadow, you can't be angry at Amy for wanting to go out with her other friends!"

"I am not angry!- It's just-"

"I sense anger"

"I am not angry!"

It has been a while since Shadow had yelled at them like that. Shadow had changed a lot through the time he had spent in the Resistance and seeing him react like that reminding Rouge of a side she didn't want to remember.

Omega and Rouge stayed quiet as Shadow got his breath back.

He looked at them both and then looked around not knowing where to look.

He walked out of the gym.

Amy didn't think that she was going to have such a great time. To her surprise, there was more to Sonic, just like she always thought.

Why couldn't they be like this before?

"Was I annoying?"

"What?"

Sonic looked at Amy, they were very comfortable next to each other in the open space, watching the stars and she suddenly throws a random question.
