Prologue: Goodbye

Amy's POV

I walked to my terminal, holding Sonic's hand tightly. I didn't want to go. Why did my dad have to get that stupid transfer?

My family was moving to a small town called Campleton. It was 3,000 miles away from Station Square and I hated that. I would have to leave my best friend and lover, Sonic. I felt tears slide down my face. Sonic squeezed my hand. "Everything will be okay Ames," he said softly. Ames. I was gonna miss that nickname. I looked at Sonic's watery eyes.

One thing Sonic does is that he'll never let anyone see him cry. I was the only one who actually saw him shed one tear when we were twelve. "Sonic, its okay is you want to cry," I said. He shook his head and his light green eyes turned to me.

"I don't want to make this harder for you," he said. I wanted to smile, but I couldn't. I saw my family putting suitcases onto the convertor belt. I put myself in front of Sonic. "I guess this is it," I said softly. Sonic nodded.

"Guess so," he said.

"I might come back one day. No, I promi-"

"Amy, don't make a pledge to something that might not happen."

"But, I want to see you again. I really do."

"I want to see you again too, but we both know that there's a fifty percent chance that that won't happen."

"Wow, I didn't know you paid attention in math class," I joked, smiling a little. He smiled the tiniest bit.

"You'd be amazed at the things I do."

"I'll really miss you," I said, hugging him tightly. I didn't want to let him go. "I'll miss you too," he murmured into my quills, wrapping his arms around me. I wished that I could stay here forever. In his arms, safe and loved. Why did I have to leave when I actually found the perfect match for me?

"Amy, can you do something for me," Sonic asked, pulling away from me. I nodded.

"Anything."

"I want you to be careful. Don't get into any trouble, alright?"

"Yes. Sonic, let's forget."

"Forget?"

"Yea, forget about me. That's what I want you to do. Just forget I ever existed. Forget about our relationship, forget about our friendship, and just forget everything that happened between us."

"Amy, I don't understand. Why would you want me to forget you?"

"Because I don't want to see you locked up to yourself, mourning over me."

"Is that what you think I would do? You think I would block myself from the world? I'm not that kind of guy, Amy, and you know that. After you left, I wouldn't forget you. You would always have a spot in my heart no matter who else comes into it."

"Well, I want you to forget me. We both need to live our lives."

"You're going to forget me too?"

"Sonic, I have to."

"I thought I knew you better than this."

"You do, but it's for the best."

"For you or for me?" I actually had to think about that. I know Sonic would live his life, but me. I'd probably mourn over him like crazy. "Amy," I heard my mom call. I looked back up at Sonic.

"Will you please do it for me," I said softly. He rolled his eyes. He turned and walked away. "Sonic," I screamed out to him. He didn't turn, just kept walking. I watched him until his cobalt fur was out of sight. I sighed and walked over to my mom, who put her arm around my shoulders and led me to the plane. We got on and the plane took off. I watched the airport slip away. I watched the town slip away. And I watched Sonic slip away.

I am such an idiot. I knew that i had to do what I had to do, but I didn't think that it would be hard to forget him. Goodbye would have been easier.
