Amy couldn't find Cream that morning and she decided to go out and find her, besides she could use the exercise because she hadn't been out on her run yet. She loved to do her daily runs aside from her daily routines of boxercising. She needed to stay fit for she was going to have to prepare for an upcoming fighting competition in boxercising soon. Also she wanted to stay fit to show Sonic how much her athleticism had improved and how much faster she had gotten since he last saw her. She proceeded to put on her pink and yellow striped sneakers along her matching track suit, and she made sure to grab her lucky 8 ball and put it in her pocket for "just in case". She didn't want any bad luck in her way. She headed out side, making sure to lock her apartment door and she headed down the sidewalk and once she turned off a busy 4 way street she sprinted downhill, gaining speed as she accelerated towards the center of the city. She passed all of the places she knew Cream might be at and she still couldn't find her. Suddenly, somehing caught the corner of her eye and she turned quickly to see what it was and it was a shiny green emerald peice, she was sure of it. It wasn't going to land anywhere near her so she ran towards that direction she saw it and she suddenly haulted to avoid running into some teenagers on bicycle. Amy turned and ran to take a short cut in that direction and as she ran she looked up again and her mouth widened as she let out a gasp. For could her eyes be really showing her whom she thought she saw! She was sure she saw Sonic boosting himself over a building and she rubbed her eyes to be sure they weren't playing tricks on her and she didn't see him anymore. Amy forgot about the emerald peice she saw and began to head in the direction she thought she saw Sonic in.
Sparx was leaving the roller rink from her roller derby practice where she was the star of the show. This was due to her reputation as the best skater in the whole Female Feline Roller Derby league. She was also a popular skater due to the sparks she produced while skating on the flat track when she played aggressively. She was proud of this and boasted at the thought. For this was a hobby she picked up shortly after moving into Central City. She left her skates on and began to skate through the city streets, she gained speed as she skated a downhill slope and then followed a curvy road. She continued to gain speed and she turned in the air each time she jumped on and off stair railings. She loved the feeling of the wind in her ears passing with great speed as she made her wathrough the town. She braked and slowed down as she neared passing the forest. She skated smoothly as she passed it then suddenly she heard a large noise that startled her. However, she also was curious and wanted to go see what it was, she removed her skates and put them in her backpack and headed into the forest. Sparx's keen Feline eyesight made her notice an unfamiliar shadow within the woods as she quickened her step. She treaded carefully to not make any sound, for she didn't want to suddenly be discovered by whom or what the shadowy figure might be, and who knew if there might be more of them nearby.
