Amy Rose woke up to the afternoon sunlight in her face.*Yawn* "What time is it?" As she looks around her room for the clock (which she ruthlessly flung out her open window the night before), once she realizes where said clock ended up, she slumps down to the floor with tears as memories of what transpired earlier in the day and a certain hedgehog that would forever change her life. Granted it only being one in the afternoon, it felt like a whole year has already passed her by.

'I just can't believe what happened earlier.' The pink hedgehog thinks to herself.

*Earlier That Day*

"It's a dream, just a very horrible, horrible dream." Amy Rose kept repeating this to yourself after seeing her favorite blue blur sitting with the rest of their pals and Sally Acorn softly caressing her cheek while being in a loving embrace.

"Why would he do this?! As much I've been there to clean his wounds, I was the one that made sure he had food in his belly, and believed in him when no one else did, and still he chooses her?!" As random thoughts continue swirling around in Amy's mind, she barely notices that she is walking deeper into the woods. Upon reaching a clearing, Amy sees the edge of a cliff and stands at the end, staring down into the endless water.

"What is it about Sally, is it because she's royalty? Maybe it's because she didn't track him down just to get his attention, just what makes that blasted Sally Acorn so special?!" After yelling this to the high heavens, Amy collapses in a heap, her tears flowing freely and wildly just like the river below her. As more tears flow down to the ground, a sound rouses Amy from her heart break. Quickly she turns to opening in the woods, only to find a blue-jay stuck in the wild rosebush.

"Oh you poor thing! Hold on just a moment and I'll get you out!" As Amy quickly but gently helps the bird loose, the hairs on the back of her neck stand on edge, a feeling of not being alone washes over her, and after getting the blue-jay loose she turns to the right where the feeling was strongest, only nothing was there.

"That's strange…very strange, I'd better get home before it gets too dark." Suddenly, a set of red eyes illuminates the brushes, Amy sees this and slowly backs away only to bump into what she was backing away from.

"Nice to see you again, Amy Rose." Said a slightly normal, yet robotic and familiar voice. As Amy fully turned around and looked into the eyes of the one person she never expected seeing again only one thought was racing through her mind.

"Metal."

"Nice to hear your lovely voice again too." Metal Sonic responded back smoothly stepping closer to where Amy was standing. From what Amy last remembered of Metal Sonic, he was just all metal, but this Metal was definitely different in a more organic way. Instead of looking like his spunkier counter-part, Metal's body was more toned and muscled, his quills nearly reaching the floor, the slight breeze blowing his white streaked tips in the wind.

"B-but...I-It's not possible. I saw Sonic pulverize you to the ground?!"

"I do believe everyone deserves a second chance, don't you agree?"

Before Amy could reply, Metal Sonic squeezed a point in her neck, which knocked Amy unconscious.
