So I got to thinking... a winning combination would be the Characters of Sonic the Hedgehog, a world jumping concept and storyline similar to Kingdom Hearts, with a few elements of The World Ends With You (you gotta admit, that was a great game), and somehow I came up with this story. For those waiting for Super Mario Dark Side to get updated, IT'S COMIN'!!!!! I got college, and a ton of other ideas to get out (otherwise I'll die, and I know you don't want that). This is sort of a Cross Over, but it's in the Sonic category because no matter what, Sonic is the main protagonist. This is my first SonicXAmy story, so it may not be up to par with the other greats like Who Is Amy Rose (seriously, did she forget about that story?!) just to name one.

.......I've talked enough! Let's get the story started.

I do not own Sonic, Amy, or any of the other characters that'll appear in this story (I don't even know why I have to say that. Is it a legal issue...?)

I do not own any of the songs that will be technically used here (only as background music).

Beginning of the End

I didn't notice how much she means to me...

She was always there for me, always smiling, always cheering...

To think, it took five years for me to realize that I loved her, just as much as she loved me...

We'll always protect each other, always cheering each other on...

I love you... Amy...

Sonic was walking, yes, walking through Station Square. He tended to walk only when he had something seriously on his mind. Lately Sonic had gotten into fashion, wearing blue jeans, white T-shirt, green vest, and a pair of head phones hanging around his neck. These days he was always seen like this, always thinking.

Thinking of Amy...

He saved her from Metal Sonic five years ago, after that she resorted to pretty much stalking him. She meant well, and Sonic knew that, but he was fourteen at the time, and she was twelve. Both of them had a lot of growing up to do. Now five years later, both of them matured a good deal, and now saw each other differently.

Amy, now seventeen, stopped stalking Sonic and now treated him like a close friend. She still loved him, but she respected his privacy more now. She always supported him, and even offered him advice on more than one occasion. Sonic had stopped running away from Amy every time he saw her, and now saw her as someone he knew he could count on. These days though, he was beginning to wonder whether or not he was beginning to have feelings for her. She recently ditched the red skirt and boots, trading them in for a short jean skirt, white sneakers, white blouse, and a blue jacket. She grew her hair out in the front, causing her bangs to fall down farther. She really matured both physically, and mentally, and Sonic truly saw her in a new way.

He stopped walking when he realized his phone rang a few times as he was thinking. He pulled a small blue phone out of his pocket to check his messages. He always listened to them on speaker for some reason, probably so he could see the picture of who he was talking to.

The first message pulled up a picture of Tails, who now was thirteen, and now wore blue pants, white suit shirt that was untucked, blue suit jacket, and black sneakers. "Hey Sonic, Amy stopped by earlier today asking about you. She said that she was worried about you. If you get this message just try to catch up with her, okay? Later man," Tails said in his message.

"Hmm..." Sonic thought to himself. Truth was Amy was the reason he looked so out of it. He had two more messages so he decided to check those two to take his mind off of it. The next one was from Knuckles, now twenty-one, sporting long black pants with chains, white and gold shirt, black trench coat, and a small golden earring in his left ear. "Yo, what's up man? Amy just came by the shrine today asking if I knew why you were so out of it. I didn't tell her, but I know what's wrong. Sonic, when are you gonna talk to her about how you feel? It's obvious you love her, and even though she doesn't stalk you like the good ol' days I know she's still in love with you. Talk to her Sonic," he said ending the message.

"Hmm..." Sonic thought to himself again. She went to both of them? She must really be worried. Sonic then decided to check the last message, and almost had a heart attack when he saw Amy's picture. "Sonic, are you okay? You haven't been yourself lately. I used to wake up every morning to the sound of you breaking the sound barrier, but it feels like it's been ages since I saw you run through town. You know if there's anything wrong you can come to me right? If you want to talk I'll be waiting at my usual spot. See ya later... Sonic," she said softly. You could almost here her say "I love you" at the end.

"Amy..." he said to himself. He knew she had feelings for him, how could he NOT know? She smiled every time she saw him, she always sat close to him, she hugged him a lot to comfort him, one night when they were sitting together, she held his arm and leaned on him saying "You can always depend on me", personally the only thing she didn't do was kiss him right out and say it. If he knew how she felt then why was he hesitating? Why couldn't he tell her how he felt? Was he not certain? Was he afraid? If so, what was he afraid of? He decided after some thought to actually go see Amy.

Amy was sitting in the outskirts of the city, next to a lone tree on a hill that looked out at Station Square. She recently began spending a lot of time here, because she had a lot on her mind too. She was worried about Sonic, and felt like something was bothering him. It had been at least a month since Sonic ran through the city, and when that happened you knew something was wrong. She was waiting here today hoping Sonic would come.

She was greeted by a sudden cool wind. She giggled and got up, "Alright, where are you?" she asked with a smile.

"Look up," a familiar voice said from the tree. She turned around and looked up to see Sonic sitting on a branch looking down a her with a smile.

"I hope you aren't hoping to avoid me by sitting in that tree," she said sarcastically.

"Oh no, there's just a nicer view up here. Oh, the city looks nice here too," she looked away a bit blushing when he said that. Even now Sonic had this way with words. He always knew what to say to make her smile. He eventually jumped down and stood next to her, "So, what's up?" he asked as casual as he could.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you that," she said sitting down, and pulling Sonic's arm down too, forcing him to sit net to her. She then moved closer to him and still held his hand, "Sonic, what's troubling you?" she asked out front.

"Amy, nothing's-" he started, but Amy put her finger on his mouth hushing him.

"Don't give me that, Sonic. I know you better that most people, so I know when something's not right."

"Amy..." he said looking down pretty serious. She caught him. It was true that she knew him better than a lot of people. He hung out with her more that Tails these days, ever since their last fight with Eggman two years ago, when she risked death just to save him. Sonic knew he wasn't going to get out of this unless he told her what was really on her mind. "Okay, you win," he said finally, "I'll tell." He took a deep breath and braced himself to do what was the hardest thing he ever did, "Amy, we've known each other for about five years now. Five years ago we wouldn't be talking like this. Five years ago you would rush up to me screaming how much you loved me, and I would run away at three hundred miles per hour telling you to stay away."

"I remember," she said looking down with an awkward smile, "God, looking back on it now, those were not the proudest years of my life."

"Me neither," he said, looking equally embarrassed, "But that's what I mean. Look at us now, five years later, you're not stalking me, and I'm not running."

"Well Sonic, that was five years ago. We were kids then, so we were immature about that kind of stuff. You aren't still guilty about then, are you?"

"Well, maybe a little," Sonic said looking back at her.

"Oh Sonic," she started, hugging Sonic, "I told you a million times, you don't have to feel bad anymore. Is this what has you so worked up?"

"Well, it's the start," when Sonic said that Amy was wide eyed, and she slowly backed out of the hug wondering what was coming next, "Amy, I had to think about it for a while. All those times you chased me around like that, part of me might have actually liked it."

"See, I knew it," she said playfully in triumph, then she had to think about what he said, "But wait, what are you saying?" she asked.

"I'm saying that back then, and even now, there was another feeling there that I'm so mad it took this long to figure it out. Amy, I think I-"

Just then an explosion was heard in Station Square, catching both Sonic and Amy's attention. "What the hell was that?" Sonic asked.

"I have no idea," Amy said in response. She then looked at the city and pointed in shock, "Sonic, look!!!" she screamed.

"Huh? Whoa!!!" he said after looking at Station Square. There was a strange white portal over the entire city, but it looked like what the TV looks like when there's nothing but static on the screen. What scared them was that something kept falling out of the portal.

And whatever it was, it didn't look friendly...
