Krissie: so here is a flash back chapter.

It was fall. The leaves had turned oranges and burt reds. Amy smiled as she collected them into a pile. She was lonely and homesick. This was her first year in Knothole. She was far from home. No one knew it, but they had missed her birthday. Her only wish that year had been to spend the whole day with her hero, Sonic.
The blue hedgehog seemed to disagree with her birthday wishes as he ran from her picnic invite and other attempts to hang out. A walk through the woods, fishing, eating chilidogs together. Sonic seemed to not be interested in her cooking. It made her heart heavy with tears.
So here she was, nearly a month after her birthday, collecting leaves into a pile. She placed them under a large tree she could climb. She planned to jump into the leaves like she had done so many years before.
"What are you doing?" A voice from behind made the pink hedgehog squeal.
She turned as the leaves in her hands were thrown into the air and rained down on her. She gasped as she looked at the orange fox. "T... t..." she struggled with his name. She knew it, but it was lost on her.
He stood patiently in front of her. Tilting his head slightly so his sky blue eyes would stare up at her with childish innocence. He was awaiting her words. Waiting for her to recall his name.
Amy's bottom lip quivered. Her felt awful for not recalling. Her green eyes just stared at him.
He frowned at her quivering lip. He didn't mean to make her cry. He stood straight and looked around. He was scanning for others. As if what he was about to do would get him in trouble. He took a step forward as Amy still stared. Her mind still struggling. He grabbed her hand and drew circles on it with his thumb.
"It's ok," he cooed, "Take your time. Just breathe." He instructed as he brought his other hand to her cheek to draw circles there.
Amy followed the soft orders as he stood so close she could smell his breath. She didn't understand how, but his breath smelled of mint and peaches.
After a few moments, he smiled at her. "There, are we feeling better?"
Amy nodded. "Sorry," came the soft phrase.
He only smiled as he continued drawing circles on her. "It's alright. You're still getting used to everything. Would you like a good luck charm that'll make you feel better?"
"Good luck charm?" Amy echoed back.
"Yeah, I see Antoine and Bunnie give it to each other all the time." He stated with a smile. "It's supposed to bring you good luck, happiness, and warmth. Would you like me to gibe it to you? You look like you could use it."
Amy was curious. She always did like good luck charms. She liked most mystic things actually. A good luck charm sounded wonderful right about now. "Ok," she gave her head a soft bob.
He smiled as he drew close and placed his lips on hers for a few seconds before pulling back.
Amy turned a bright red as he smiled at her.
"See the good luck charm is already working! You'll feel so warm that you turn red for a moment, but it'll fade after a bit." He seemed so proud of himself.
"That's not a good luck charm!" Amy stammered out. "That's a k-k-kiss."
"What? But they said it was a good luck charm." He replied confused.
"Lies. Lies," Amy took a step back as tears filled her eyes. "That's a kiss. First kisses are supposed to be special. You stole mine. Why?" She broke down into sobs.
He cringed as he held up his hands. "I was told it was a good luck charm. I didn't know it was a kiss." He looked around for something that could ease the situation. "Stay here, I'll be right back."
Amy heard the russel of leaves as he dashed off. Amy just stood there crying. The world was blurry as she heard the crunching of leaves under someone's feet. It didn't take long before he returned with someone close behind.
"What's so urgent suga?" The woman asked as Amy felt the wind whirl around her. "Oh dear! Are you alright suga?"
Amy flinched a little at the touch. She looked up and saw the Bunnie with a worried expression. Amy chocked on her words as she tried to formulate a sentence.
"It's my fault," the boy interjected. "I didn't mean to make her cry, but I can't fix it."
Bunnie nodded as she looked at him and then back to Amy. "Alright Tails, I'm going to need you to tell me from the beginning." She picked up Amy and held her close. "You chime in if he gets anything wrong." She brushed her fingers through Amy's quills.
"Well Amy was upset. She couldn't remember my name and she looked like she was about to cry. So I offered to give her a good luck charm that I see you and Antoine exchange," he rambled as he paced.
"Suga, that's not a good luck charm," Bunnie shook her head.
"I know that now. She told me as she began breaking down. I broke her Bunnie. I don't know what to do to make her feel better or apologize or make up for it." Tails waved his hands frantically in the air.
Bunnie nodded as she grabbed Tails by the arm. "Alrighty, breath Tails. Let's try to talk through this."
Tails plopped down on the ground next to them. A few leaves flew up in the air and Amy held out her hand to catch one.
"Amy suga," Bunnie's soft voice caused Amy to look at her. "Listen Tails here didn't mean to hurt you. He thought he was giving you a good luck charm. Boys don't often understand romantic things like kissing. He feels really bad for it too. Do you think you can forgive him?"
Amy looked at Bunnie as her brain processed what the rabbit had said. She looked at Tails. She could see he was really sorry he upset her. Amy took a breath before she sat up straight. Forgiveness was the greatest power and the greatest gift. It was a motto her family had taught her since birth. Amy placed her hands on her lap and she looked at Tails.
Tails gulped as he felt Amy was looking through him. Her posture and expression reminded him of a ruthless queen in one of his books. He hoped she would command off with his head.
Amy spoke formally as she continued to stare at Tails. "I forgive you, Miles Tails Prower." She bowed her head and smiled. "I feel so kuch better now," Amy sighed. "Cousin was right, forgiveness is the greatest power."
"Your cousin sounds very wise," Bunnie commented.
Amy beamed up at her. "He's the best!" She hopped out of the rabbit's lap.
Bunnie smiled as she patted Amy on the head. "So what is that pile of leaves for?"
Amy looked at her pile. "For jumping. Every year after my birthday, we take a bunch of leaves and put them into a pile to jump into them. I had to wait longer this years for the leaves to change and fall, but they're fallen now. So I can make the biggest pile."
"When's your birthday?" Tails asked curiously.
"September 23rd," Amy rattled off like ot was nothing as she went to gather more leaves for her pile.
"What? We missed your birthday?" Tails frowned.
Amy just shrugged with a smile. "Everyone was busy. It would have been bothersome to ask for a birthday party. If you want, you can help me with the leaf pile. And we can jump in together!" Amy beames at the idea.
Tails pouted slightly but nodded. "Jumping into leaves sounds fun." Little did Amy know that gears were spinning rapidly in Tails's brain.

KRISSIE: So I took longer to finish this then i thought. My brain struggled with this chapter so much. Plus, I spent a long time editing YouTube videos. I tried on a Sonic the Hedgehog face mask for a video. I also wanted to give a shout out to ToxicSpeka! She sent me a pm that made my day which is why I tried to get this chapter finished a lot quicker then I normally would've. She also has a cute fanfic called Moving On. I highly recommend it! So go check it out after you're done with this chapter! It'll be a bit before I finish the next chapter.
