"You sound terrible."
"Thanks, Amy, I haven't noticed."
"You're welcome," Amy quipped on the phone as she painted her toenails red.
"I can't make it tonight."
Amy put down her nail polish bottle and switched her cell phone to her other ear. "You're not coming to homecoming?"
"Doctors checked me out today and told me I might have mono."
"Mono? Shit, that's serious. Want me to come over and feed you soup?"
Jet choked out something that sounded like laughter. "As entertaining as that sounds, mono is contagious, remember? Don't worry about me. Go to homecoming with your girlfriends. There will be other dances for me to take you to."
Amy couldn't help but feel disappointed. She tried to sound cheery over the phone when she said, "Of course there will be other dances! Get better, Jet."
He didn't seem to notice her fake cheeriness. "Thanks, Pinkie. Seeya soon."
Amy shut her phone wearily and capped her nail polish when she heard a knock come at her side door. "Come in at your own will." She threw her face into her hands.
"That's cheery..."
Amy groaned into her arm when she realized who was at the door. Sonic came into her kitchen and sat down next to her. "Where's your mom?"
"Grocery shopping."
"Bummer. Haven't seen her in a while."
Amy picked her head up and looked at him wearily. "Why are you here?"
"Can't a friend just stop by?"
Amy looked at him pointedly. Sonic sighed and said, "I was on my way to the gym and I just wanted to see how you are. Is that a crime?"
The pink hedgehog sighed and shook her head. "No, sorry. I'm just wallowing in my misery about not going to homecoming."
Sonic raised and eyebrow at her. "You're not going to homecoming anymore?"
She shook her head. "Jet has mono aka no homecoming."
He put his hand on top of hers. "So come with Sally and I."
Amy couldn't help but let out a sour laugh, which she apologized for quietly. "That's a great idea," she said sarcastically.
"I'm being serious."
"No you're not. That's a terrible idea."
"And why's that?"
Amy looked at him incredulously. "I'm not going to be a third wheel to your date."
"You won't be a third wheel."
