Sonic
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
A week ago, Amy told me to piss off. I know "piss" probably isn't even on the list of swear words anymore, but hearing Amy say it disturbed me. I know I should probably be happy for her new relationship with Shadow, but part of me thinks that Shadow took advantage of her while she was crying. Shadow's a good guy, I honestly don't believe he would ever take advantage of anyone...but as I said, part of me thinks that he moved in a LITTLE too fast. She just had her heart broken...by ME of all people! Looks like this is going to be tougher to shake than I originally thought...I'm heading to bed for the night.
Amy
So far, this week has been absolutely INCREDIBLE! Shadow is such a sweetheart and gentleman, he brings me a flower every time he sees me, and he calls every night to ask how my day was. Best part of all, he asked me to dinner earlier today, and we're OFFICIALLY dating now! How could Sonic be such an idiot to reject ME?! Oh well, I'm going to write in my diary and call it a night. Time for me to dream about Shadow!
Shadow
This week has been great for me. I have the perfect girlfriend, and I couldn't be happier. I took Amy out to dinner tonight, and I officially asked her to be my girlfriend. I was so happy when she said yes, I feel like Maria is watching over me and smiling on me. She is the only person that could make me feel even happier than I am already. I did love her, in a way, but I was never IN love with her. Besides, I'm with Amy now...and NOTHING, not even a jerk like a CERTAIN BLUE HEDGEHOG could ruin this night...I'm going to be dreaming about Amy, after all.
Sonic
I walked into this HUGE arena full of people. From the appearance of everything, it seemed to be reminiscent of the Middle Ages, complete with knights, jousting, and everything in between. Aside from me wearing knight's armor, I looked around and saw this mysterious black knight (wonder who THAT could represent...) directly across from me. I then noticed that the crests on our armor resembled the seven Chaos Emeralds floating around a Giant Ring. As much as I wanted to kick my subconscious for thinking up this ridiculous dream and everything/everyone in it, I was interrupted by a trumpet sound coming from a nearby balcony. As I looked up at it, there emerged this princess from behind a curtain, dressed in a long, pink gown. And then it hit me...the princess was AMY
"My people, silence!" called out one of the trumpet players as he approached the railing on the balcony then continued, "Princess Rose has ordered that her two best knights settle their differences in a jousting match! Sir Sonic the Hedgehog of the Kingdom of Mobius versus Prince Shadow of the Northern Overland! You may take your positions!"
Great, on top of DREAMING about Amy, I have to face off against SHADOW! Could this dream get any worse?! Anyway, I leaped onto my horse and prepared myself for my dream match...pun intended. I charged at Shadow as soon as the white flag dropped, putting all of my might into knocking Shadow off his high horse...again, pun intended. But that did not happen, as Shadow knocked me off my horse as soon as I prepared to hit him. I fell off, complete with a loud THUD, and gazed at the sky until Shadow walked up to me and took his helmet off.
"'Sir' Sonic, you were NEVER good enough for Princess Rose. Now and forever, she will be my woman and you will never kiss her again." said Shadow as Amy walked up, looking down at me as well.
"Too bad Sonic, I was all yours until Shadow bested you. Try not to be a jerk to the next woman you cross paths with!" said Amy as her and Shadow kissed, effective ending my dream and churning my stomach at the same time.
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
As I sat up in my bed, I realized exactly how big a of a jerk I've been to Amy. No matter what I said or what I did to her up until last week, she had been patient with me, and still loved me on top of being my friend. Am I really that big of an idiot to have rejected her? Just because I've never had a girlfriend and I rejected her out of fear...THAT's supposed to justify my being a jerk?
NO! Absolutely NOTHING could justify me being a jerk to anyone, ESPECIALLY Amy! The girl loved me, and I did nothing but blow her off...No wonder she's rushing into things with Shadow. The next time I see him or Amy, I'm going to be honest about my feelings for once.
Amy Rose, if you still love me, I need to tell you something.
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I'm in love with you.
A/N: I am SO sorry it took me THREE YEARS to bring the second chapter into existence! I've been through losing two computers, ALL of my fanfiction files, depression, falling in love, and everything else you can throw in there!
But here it is, everyone! The return of duelist-17, complete with an updated "White Flag" and a new Power Rangers Dino Thunder story entitled "It's Not Over"
Thank you guys for being so patient, and for leaving me 21 reviews! You guys are the BEST!
