Again

Ooh! Song fic! 'Again' is the property of Jennifer Lopez and Sonic and co. is property of SEGA.

I sat at my window staring at the stars. I couldn't get him out of my mind. He had told me those words that I have longed to hear from him and yet I don't think that I fully grasped the concept. He loved me.

Like an angel out the sky you came

Clearing up all the clouds, the sadness, and the rain

So pure and healing was the love you bring

I knew inside… (it felt so right)

Yes, It was true that I have loved him forever. However, I wasn't feeling it even when he kissed my cheek. He looked at me worriedly.

"Are you okay, Amy?"

"…" I hesitated. "Sonic…"

Sonic looked at me in fear. 'He thinks that I am going to reject him?' I thought. 'Even when he knows that I love him?'

For me I've struggled all my life

To find that thing that makes it right

With you it seems I may have found

Some other kind of love

Then I said it. Why? Well I don't know. "Sonic, I don't love you."

"Right then." He stood up from the bench we were sitting on. I couldn't see his face. He suddenly sped off in a random direction and didn't look back.

I buried my face in my hands. 'Why did I say that?' I sat there crying for a long time.

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Because you gave me

Peace and joy

Again, again, again

I heard footsteps approaching me and I wiped my eyes. I looked up, hoping to see Sonic, but instead I saw Shadow.

"Shadow?" I asked.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

I looked at him and said that Sonic said that he loved me.

"So why aren't you happy?"

"Because I told him that I don't love him." I sniffed.

Shadow looked at me in surprise. "Why did you say that?"

"Because… I…" I paused. "I was scared."

I was scared to let go and to trust your love

After what I've been through I have had enough

Whispering through your eyes you never said a word

But something said… ( your heart's safe)

"But you love him, right?" Shadow asked.

"Of course I do!" I said. There was silence. A strange thought crossed my mind.

"When you told Tails, did he…"

"He was scared too. But in his case he said nothing. I sat down with him and talked with him for a long time. He came to accept it afterwards."

I sat there absorbing what he had said. "Thanks." I stood up and walked in the direction that Sonic went.

"No problem." Shadow replied as he walked away.

For me I've struggled all my life

To find that thing that makes it right

With you it seems I may have found

Some other kind of love

I found him at a nearby river throwing stones into it. I walked up beside him and he didn't even look up. "What do you want?" He asked coldly.

I shivered. "Sonic, I think that I may not have acted like myself back there."

"So. What now? The damage is done. What else could you say?" He looked at me with pain-stricken eyes. He had been crying. I felt a pang in my chest.

"Sonic, I… I'm so sorry. I don't know how I can fix this except…"

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Because you gave me

Peace and joy

Again, again, again

I blushed heavily. He looked at me again. "Except…?"

I knelt down beside him and hugged him close. "Sonic… will you take me? Flawed and all?" I asked him.

"Amy, you aren't flawed at all…" he said. "Of course I'll take you. I love you."

"I love you, too." I said.

A friend is what you'll always have in me

I'm so grateful for the man you turned out to be

And it doesn't matter who you happen to meet

You'll forever be… (a sacred part of me)

I looked away from the window. He was sitting there on my bed. He opened his arms wide and I crawled into them. He hugged me close and we snuggled into the blankets. That's when I finally understood…

We laid there in the moonlight, forever in each other's gaze, until our eyelids grew heavy and sleep was upon us. We fell asleep to the rhythm of our heart-beats and I knew that we were once again at peace with the world.

I will love you all my life

Always be by your side

And I will give you all I have

Because you gave me

Peace and joy

Again, again, again.

Author's note: Hey Hope you all enjoyed my fluff. I was kind of depressed at the time and I don't know if it turned out all right at the end. Lord knows this is my first song fic in almost two years. I had been writing Digimon song-fictions but I am through that stage. I think I have an Evangelion song fic sitting around on my computer somewhere… ^w^

Luv you guys to bits!
