Happy Birthday, Amy Rose! (Open)

[freedomfighterhammer]

WHO: Amy Rose and YOU
WHAT: Amy’s throwing a birthday party and you’re invited!
WHEN: Frontdated to September 23
WHERE: Amy’s home, Blossomcrown
WARNINGS: Sweet things?

Amy raced across the house, trying to make sure everything was set up. Her birthday was today and she wanted it to look perfect. Cake, ice cream, drinks, maybe a few games here and there. It had to be the best - it was her eighteenth birthday after all!

Once everything was set up, Amy quickly raced outside, ready to meet anyone who saw her invite video and greet them.

“Hiii~! Thank you for coming! If you got a gift, just set it on the table to the side and make yourself at home!” She said to whoever arrived.

Alternative Angst Action!

No one came.

As the sun set, Amy sat at the steps of her home as she realized that no one showed up. A part of her knee that they had just got done with a big mission to save the fairy queen, but she kinda hoped that someone would show up.

With a heavy heart, Amy got up and slowly went to get rid of all the stuff she sat out. Such a waste of food, especially that ice cream. Once everything was cleaned up, Amy decided to grab one of the spare big tubs of ice cream and sit herself on the couch, eating away as tears finally welled up in her eyes.

Oryou is here as promised.

[With a gift! ...A stuffed frog.

Well, at least she didn't bring a real one.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

Oryou! Oh, thank you!

[She giggles as she takes the stuffed frog and gives it a hug before setting aside.]

No one else has shown up yet, so it’s just us two.

[kerontribution]

Oryou has a big personality, so you don't need any other guests. But more will probably come anyway.

[freedomfighterhammer]

But, for now, it’s just the two of us.

[And Amy goes to take her hands.]

Again, thank you for coming. It means so much, even if it’s just you.

[kerontribution]

We're friends. Of course Oryou would come.

[She gives Amy's hands a gentle squeeze.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

I admit, I was worried - I hadn’t met many people and I wasn’t sure anyone would come, even with the invitation. Plus, that mission with the sirens…

[kerontribution]

Some people are probably tired. But not everybody is. Oryou has lots of energy still.

[freedomfighterhammer]

Yeah, that mission happening before my birthday was a surprise…

At least you’re okay!

[kerontribution]

Oryou's tough. There's no way some sirens would've taken her out.

[Gawain arrived in a fancy mostly-black dress, holding a large box in her hands. When she hands it to Amy, she takes the lid off to reveal a near obscene amount of cookies.]

I apologize for not having a proper gift, Miss Rose. I've only recently gotten my bearings, and I am not familiar enough with neither the surrounding stores nor yourself to pick out something suitable.

[freedomfighterhammer]

[Amy isn't sure what to be impressed with - how Gawain looks or the massive amount of cookies she's been given.]

No, don't! It's my fault - I should have specified things!

[houndofmanchester]

Regardless, arriving without a gift to give is simply poor manners. I hope what few baked goods I was able to make in the time I had are enough to make up for the faux pas.

[freedomfighterhammer]

Oh, no, this is more than enough! Thank you so much! Won’t you come in? Make yourself at home?

[houndofmanchester]

I thank you for your hospitality.

[Gawain steps inside, maybe having to duck a bit to get past the doorframe.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

[While her home is human-sized, she’s sure Gawain is still quite tall.]

Is there anything you want to do? Got cake, ice cream, games, or just spend time with me?

[houndofmanchester]

I was hoping we could talk. While I'm well aware that you yourself aren't fae, you bear a striking resemblance to a Fang Clan faerie nonetheless. And as I've seen, your aptitude for combat matches ours as well. I feel like we could have much in common.

[freedomfighterhammer]

Oh! I see! You’re right, I’m not fae. I’m a Mobian, hedgehog, specifically. I wasn’t that great when I was younger, but that’s changed.

[houndofmanchester]

You must have improved quickly, then. It took me nearly fifty years to wield a sword with any skill, and a hundred and fifty more to reach the mastery I hold today.

[joyfuljulie]

Hiiii~! Hello there! I'm so glad to see you again!

[Julie is out here waving enthusiastically as Amy pops out, bright and chipper as ever. This particular dress of hers she's dubbed her 'birthday dress', streamers and party hats and the like around it's hem. The present in her hands is sort of comically stereotypical present, bright wrapping paper and a brighter ribbon around it as well with a huge ornate bow.]

I wasn't completely sure what to give you but I hope you like these.

[It's a very pretty pot of pink peonies in an equally pink pot. She figured Amy must like pink as much as she does anyhow.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

Julie! Oh, I’m so glad you could come! Wow, and came dressed for the occasion, too!

[There’s a laugh as she accepted the gift.]

It’s so pretty! Though it’s more my fault you had trouble - I shoulda said something.

[joyfuljulie]

[Julie waves a hand dismissively.]

Oh I understand, it's awfully hard to think up something. I mean I would be happy with any little thing and that sure leaves a lot of things to choose from!

[freedomfighterhammer]

Hee! I agree! C’mon, let’s go inside, shall we?

[And she’ll go and take her hand to lead her inside.]

NO ANGST ALLOWED

[spinsandneedles]

The timing of Sonic's arrival couldn't have been more perfect, apparently! Maybe timelines are weird? Maybe Amy's birthday back home was at a different time? Doesn't matter, apparently here it's now, and Sonic can roll with that. He'd missed her announcement, but maybe he'd heard about it around town or something. Who knows!

This was pretty sudden though, so he hadn't exactly had time to figure out a gift. He arrives with a small potted plant in tow, something with cutesy pink flowers, a big red bow tied around the pot. Very fancy, very cute. He did his best, okay.

Of course, he has to make things at least a little difficult for his own amusement. She's outside greeting people, so Sonic zips around everyone before he's noticed and leans against the wall next to the door all casual like. Dude's gotta make an entrance, right?

"Nice place you got here! Could probably use a few lawn flamingos."

Oh, boy!

[freedomfighterhammer]

Amy gasped as she heard that voice. It was maybe a little different from the one she’s used to, but it didn’t matter: the best birthday present ever had arrived.

“Sonic!” she cried out, leaping up to hug him. She made sure not to knock over the vase.

“When did you get here? How did I miss you arriving?”

:D

[spinsandneedles]

Yeah, he kind of expected this. He holds the pot out to keep it safe as Amy leaps at him and just hugs her back with his free arm.

"Heh, well, I've only been here a day or two, aaand didn't exactly announce it to the world, y'know?"
