AN UNEXPECTED FUTURE

A SONAMY FANFICTION

CHAPTER 1: DENYING THE TRUTH

As a teenager, I thought I'd never have a furture with Amy Rose. She was a beautiful hedgehog with short pink hair and a red dress. I used to think she was annoying and too slow. Now, we have three children and are happily married. This is the story of how we became a married couple with an amazing family. This is how I met my unexpected future.

It all started on a sunny summer day in June. I was fourteen and had spent the past three years with the pink hedgehog, as well as some of my other friends. She seemed to have a crush on me since the day we met when I saved her from Dr. Eggman's evil robot, Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic was an evil version of me. There's also a Tails Doll, a Metal Knuckles, and an evil version of Amy called 'Rosy the Rascal', which is a demon from another demension.

There I was, sitting on the beach, when a shadow hovers over me. A familiar shadow that scares me everytime I see it. It was Amy's shadow. She seemed to be hovering over me.

"Hi, Sonic, my love!" Amy said happily. I opened my eyes and gasped dramatically before jumping out of my chair.

"Amy! Don't scare me like that." I commanded her.

"Sorry, Sonikku! I just wanted to surprise you!" She said with a giggle of joy.

I rolled my eyes as she ran over and hugged me tightly. I shoved her away with a gentle push.

"Oh, c'mon, Sonikku! Don't be like that!" She said as she tried to hug me again, but I quickly shoved her again slightly.

"Amy, we're not dating. You know that, right?" I asked her. She stood there and giggled for a moment.

"Don't be silly, Sonic! Of course we're dating!" She replied, thinking I was joking.

"No, we're not and we're not going to." I said sternly.

"What?! Are you saying you're breaking up with me?!" She said angrily.

"We were never a couple!" I shouted.

She grabbed her hammer and prepared to swing it. I gasped and ran further away from her. She didn't swing her hammer yet.

"Why am I not good enough for you?!" She asked, tears forming in her eyes.

That's when it hit me. Why did I always ignore her love and affection? She hasn't done anything wrong. There's nothing wrong with her, so how come she isn't good enough for me?

I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw a pink hedgehog run towards me, the hammer still in her hands. I doged the hammer and tried to talk to her.

"Amy! Please don't do this!" I pleaded.

"I'm forced to do this! You broke up with me!" She shouted as tears ran down her face.

"I didn't break up with you! I just need my space!" I said. It was the only thought that came to mind during that situation.

She dropped her hammer on the ground and wipped her eyes. She smiled and giggled happily as she ran over and hugged me. This time and hugged her back, just to make her feel better. She was annoying, sure, but she was still my friend.

"I understand, Sonikku! Sorry about trying to hit you." She said quietly.

"It's fine, Amy. Can you let go of me now?" I asked as her grip had gotten tighter.

"Oops, sorry." She said as she giggled and released me from her hug.

"It's fine. I've got to go. See you later?" I asked her.

"Of course! I've got to get going, too. Vanilla asked me to babysit Cream for the afternoon." She stated.

I nodded my head in understanding and ran off into the forest. I was on my way to a special clearing in the forest where I sit and think. I needed to think about Amy and I for a bit. I had so many questions after that fight and I needed to figure out the answer. I hate thinking, but I love sitting and relaxing. I reached the clearing and sat down on the grassy hill. I thought about our fight. She thinks we're a couple. Is it possible that we really are meant to be together? No, of course not. That's a stupid idea, right? I mean, she's twelve and I'm almost fifteen. We wouldn't have a good relationship with such an age difference.

While I was thinking, I heard something move in the nearby bushes. All of a sudden, my adopted little brother Tails jumps out of the bushes. I chuckled as the small yellow fox cub walked up to me.

"Hey, Tails!" I said happily.

"Hey, Sonic! Was that an entrance or what?" He asked.

"That was the best entrance ever!" I told him happily.

Tails and I had been best buds for three years now and I thought he was the best little brother, sidekick, and best friend I could ever asked for. He's probably the smartest kid I've ever met, too.

Tails' P.O.V

As a young fox cub, I looked up to Sonic as my hero and my idol. When he took me in as his adopted little brother, I was so happy. I finally felt like my life was whole again. My mother had died after I was born and my father was turned into a robot. When I met Sonic, my whole life had changed. I finally had a home, a bed, and someone who would take care of me and appreciate me.

I giggled at Sonic's reaction to my entrance. He chuckled a little bit and walked closer to me. He began to gently ruffle the few sprouts of fur on my forehead. A few minutes later, we were sitting on the grassy hill in the clearing of the forest. Sonic brought up a very strange topic.

"So, what do you think of Amy and I getting together?" He asked me, his face deep red.

"Why do you ask?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"It's just something that's been on my mind today." He said quietly.

"I thought you didn't like her in that sort of way." I mentioned.

"I don't, it's just-" He stopped. "- you know what? You're way too young for this."

"Oh, c'mon, Sonic! I can help you!" I pleaded him. He shook his head slowly.

"No, Tails. You're too young for this type of conversation. I'm going to go find Knuckles or Shadow." He said calmly.

"C'mon, Sonic! Please, I want to help!" I begged.

"I said no, Tails, and no means no." He stated.

"Okay, fine. Can I at least come with you?" I asked him.

"Fine, you can come." He said.

I was grinning from ear to ear as I hugged Sonic gently. He hugged me back. After that, we were off to Angel Island.

Once we reached Angel Island, we went searching for Knuckles. We found him sitting in front of the Master Emerald.

"Hey, Knux." Sonic said in a relaxed voice.

"Hey, dude and little dude. What brings ya'll here?" Knuckles asked.

"I need help with some teenage buisness." Sonic stated.

"No problem, dude. Follow me." Knuckles said as he stood up and walked over to a door. Sonic and I followed him through the door and down a dark, narrow hallway. He led us to his underground gym. There were brown glass bottles everywhere. I didn't know they were beer bottles at the time.

"Knux, I don't think this is an appropiate place for Tails." I heard Sonic wisper.

"Relax, dude. I've got everything under control." Knuckles wispered.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked them.

"It's nothin', little dude. Chill out, okay?" Knuckles said as he turned to me.

I nodded my head and continued to follow them through the room. We stopped at an old sofa. Knuckles sat down and motioned us to sit next to him. He started wispering to Sonic. It was too quiet for me to hear.

"Yo, little dude." Knuckles started. "Mind going upstairs and watching the Emerald for me?"

"What about you guys?" I asked him.

"Sonic and I have got some stuff to talk about." Knuckles stated.

I nodded my head and left the room. As I was about to climb the first step, I heard a strange and scary noise. All of a sudden, something started walking in the shadows.

Sonic's P.O.V

"Knux, I think I'm getting a crush on Amy." I told him.

"Are you for real, dude?! Man, I thought you'd never get a crush on someone!" Knuckles exclaimed.

"C'mon, man. Help me out here. Part of me says I should go for it, and the other part says it isn't right." I explained.

"Well, which side are you on?" He asked me.

"I'm not sure. That's why I need your help. How do you know what to do?" I asked him.

"Oh gosh, man, to be honest, I don't know. Julie-Sue and I just have this connection." He said.

"Well, do you at least have some tips for asking a girl out or something?" I asked him.

"Now that I can help you with. I've got everything you need to impress a lady." He said in a calm and relaxed voice.

"Well, spill the beans, man!" I told him.

"First of all, are you sure you want to ask her out?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Good. Next, you'll need to practice how you're going to ask her out. Pretend I'm Amy and that you're going to ask me out, okay?"

"There's no way I'm doing this."

"Would you rather do it on Tails?"

"Let's get this over with."

Knuckles began to sit in a girly position as I stared at him. My face got deep red with embarrassment. I didn't want to be sitting here doing this.

"I can't do this, man. I-Ijust can't." I said before looking away.

"This happened to me when I tried to gather up my courage. You just need to take your time."

"No, Knuckles. I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to ask her out."

"What?! Why?"

Before he could answer, I heard Tails calling my name. It sounded like he was in the hallway. Knuckles and I jumped off of the couch and ran into the hallway. There was Tails, but he was being strangled by something hiding in the shadows.

"Sonic! Help me, Please!" Tails begged. The shadow could be heard laughing quietly to himself. I knew exactly who he was.

"Shadow! Let him go!" I commanded. Shadow stepped out into the dim light. He was wearing one of Eggman's devices on his forehead. He was being mind controlled!

"Sorry, faker, but your little sidekick is mine." He said with an evil glare.

"Let him go!" I yelled before preparing to spin dash.

"Chaos Control!" Shadow shouted as he teleported away with Tails before I could spin dash into him. I stopped spinning and stood up.

"Tails, no!" I shouted. I was too late. I couldn't save my little brother. Not yet, anyways. Eggman, you're dead!

Amy's P.O.V

My darling Sonic was gone to his secret area in the woods while I was stuck here babysitting Cream. Don't get me wrong, I love Cream, but I'd much rather be with Sonic. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for about an hour! That's way too long for us to be apart! He didn't even call! I was sitting in Cream's living room on the couch watching T.V while Cream was taking a nap upstairs in her room. I was listening to the news when I saw the story about Shadow and Dr. Eggman causing chaos across the city! I wondered if Sonic knew about it. I tried to call him, but he didn't answer. About fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and it was Vanilla, Cream's mom.

"Vinalla!? You say you'd be gone for a while! Why're you home so early?"

"Our building was attacked, so we were all sent home for the day." Vanilla explained.

"I'd love to stay and talk about the attack, but I need to find Sonic!"

Vanilla giggled a bit. "I understand. You may go." She said politely.

I ran past her and out the door. It was a good thing that I knew where Sonic's hideout was. When I got there, I caught my breath and began to look around. I called his name about a million times. He didn't answer. He wasn't here! I saw his footprints on the ground. I followed them to Angel Island.

Once I was on Angel Island, I headed straight for the Master Emerald. Nobody was outside, but I heard voices inside of a nearby building. I went down the stairs and saw Sonic and Knuckles with upset faces.

"Hi, Sonikku! Hi, Knuckles! What's with the sad faces?"

"Shadow came and took Tails!" Sonic shouted in anger.

"Oh no! That's awful! They were saying that Shadow and Eggman were causing complete and utter chaos through the city!" I explained.

"We have to get Tails back!" Sonic yelled. Knuckles and I nodded our heads in agreement.

We left the building and Knuckles helped us get off the island. We headed straight for Eggman's liar. Eggman, you've messed with the wrong team!

Tails' P.O.V

I woke up in a big metal cage. I wasn't with Sonic or Knuckles anymore. I wasn't on Angel Island. I was in Eggman's lair with Eggman and Shadow. I felt a sharp sting in the back of my neck. I touched it gently and felt the sting again. I looked at the tip of my glove and saw blood. Eggman must've put a microchip in my skin. He loves to run tests on mutants. I'm one of his mutants. He's tried to turn me into a robot, he's tried to kill me, and he's tried to torture me. Every time Sonic was there to save me and remove Eggman's microchips and weapons from my body.

A saw a light shining in the distance. It began to get brighter as a door swung open and in came a black hedgehog. He turned the lights on and looked at me with an evil glare. I felt tears forming in my eyes and the sting in the back of my neck got worse. I blinked and felt tears fall down my cheeks. I had started crying. I can't even control myself. Where's Sonic when you need him?

"W-what do y-you want from m-me?" I said in between sobs.

"I need a robot like you on our team." Shadow said happily.

"No! I-I don't w-want to be a r-robot!"

"Well, that's too bad, you little freak."

At that moment, a round shape appeared in the doorway.

Sonic's P.O.V

Rescuing Tails wasn't the only thing on my mind. I was also worried about Amy following us. We've always left her behind on most of our adventure, but now, she's following us. I really do care about her. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to live with myself.

We reached Eggman's lab to see it surrounded by robots. We decided to split up and fight one on one. Once all the robots were defeated, we broke through the door and ran as quickly as we could to the labratory. We tried every single room, but none of them were the labratory. Finally, we went downstairs and found the lab. We tried to break throught the door, but it was covered in elecrical wires. I tried yelling to get the doctor's attention.

"Eggman, you scaredy cat! Let us in!"

Nothing came through.

"Eggman! Open this door!"

Still nothing at all.

"Eggman! I want a fight, not an argument!"

Nothing. That's when I got ticked off.

"EGGMAN! OPEN YOUR DOOR ALREADY!"

Still nothing. Luckily, Knuckles brought the Chaos Emeralds with him, so I turned into my super form and bashed through the door. Nobody was inside.

"What the-" I started. I heard yelling and crying coming from the other room.

"Tails!" We all said at the same time. We rushed for the door and bashed through it.

It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. He had Tails in a giant tank above a bit of chemicals. Shadow was doing something on a computer. Eggman was right in front of us, laughing.

"So, you finally decided to arrive." Eggman said happily.

"LET. HIM. GO. NOW." I demanded.

"I don't think I can do that." Eggman said with a grin.

"I can and will." Shadow said. He had removed the headgear and was out of Eggman's evil trance! He pushed a button on a panel and Tails was released. He was about to fall into the pit of chemicals, until I rushed over and snagged him in my arms right before he landed.

While I was being a hero, Knuckles and Amy were busy beating Eggman to a pulp. Shadow even joined in on the fun. While I was carrying Tails, I noticed I had blood all over my hands. Then I looked at Tails. He was pale in the face.

"Guys! Something's wrong with Tails!" I shouted. They all stopped attacking Eggman and rushed over.

Tails' P.O.V

I felt dizzy as Sonic rushed over and caught me before I plumeted to my death. I could feel the sting in the back of my neck getting stronger as my eyelids began to get heavy. I heard Sonic yelling something, but I couldn't tell what he was saying. I felt my eyelids fall over my eyes as I fell asleep.

I woke up and found myself in a hospital bed. How did I get here? What was going on? All I remembered was the events of yesterday afternoon. Sonic saved me. Sonic! Where was he!? I needed to find him! I still felt dizzy, though and I couldn't move. Was I dying? I didn't know, but it sure did feel like I was. I saw a door swing open.

"Oh, you're awake!" A female wolf in a nurse's outfit said.

"H-how did I get here?" I asked her.

"Your friends brought you in! You were in pretty bad shape. You've been out of it for two hours!" She said sweetly.

"C-can I see them?"

"Of course. Be right back." She said before leaving the room and closing the door. I looked to my right and see an I.V in my arm. I look the other way and see a table with some bottles of pills on it.

A few minutes later, the wolf walked in as Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Shadow followed her.

"Tails! Thank Chaos you're okay!" Sonic said as he ran up to me and grabbed my hand, squeezing it tightly. He was deep red in the face.

"Hey, little dude. You took a huge wipeout." Knuckles said soothingly.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're okay!" Amy said sweetly.

"I'm sorry for what happened." Shadow said.

Sonic's P.O.V

So, Tails was going to have to stay home for a few weeks so his wound could heal. I still had a lot of thinking to do about Amy and I. Knuckles was trying his best to help. Shadow returned to G.U.N., and things were okay in the end. I still thought I was denying the truth. That I really might have a furture with Amy. In the next chapter, I take care of Tails while he heals, and I continue to question my love for Amy. See you then!
