#### Synopsis

It's Valentine's Day and Sonic decides to take Amy out on a date, because he lost a bet with Knuckles. Clueless of what to do for Amy's date, Sonic goes to get help from Chaotix. Bokkun, spying on Sonic and the Chaotix, reports back to Doctor Eggman, who is very surprised to hear of Sonic's date with Amy. Dr. Eggman, Decoe, Bocoe and Bokkun plan out Operation Heartbreak to ruin their happiness.

Sonic takes the advice of Vector to sweep Amy off her feet and give her a night on the town. Sonic takes Amy for a run over the city, while Dr. Eggman and Bokkun are hitting them with missiles and bombs, but cancel each other out. Amy, who is not suspecting Dr. Eggman's attacks thinks that the explosions are fireworks.

Sonic then listens to Espio about going to a traditional Japanese restaurant where Decoe and Bocoe are planning to fry them. Practicing before Sonic and Amy arrive, they accidentally burn themselves. Sonic and Amy arrive unaware of Decoe and Bocoe. Amy isn't having much of a good time because this is what they do everyday and Ella always makes delicious meals. Sonic then decides to go with Charmy and go to Twinkle Park, in which Amy loves the idea. After enjoying the night out, Amy wants to go into the haunted house in which she gets scared by Bokkun and Sonic protects Amy from Dr. Eggman's laser blasts. After one more roller coaster ride, Sonic and Amy meet up with Mr. Tanaka who escorts them to a limo.
