My Only Wish
Chapter 1 – Amy
A/N: Sonic, Amy and Shadow are in their mid-twenties to late-twenties. No flamers please, if you don't like it then don't review.

In the Mystic Ruins, Sonic has been vacationing there for the past three days. Before that though, Sonic and Shadow had finally destroyed Ivo Robotnick. Life was now pretty boring for Sonic except for the fact that Amy was now trying to hit on Sonic even more, and unfortunately it was working. All Amy has to do is to get Sonic to go out with her on a date. For Sonic, this meant his life would be over as a world renown hero. Amy would never let him leave the house again unless it was for something that she wanted. Fortunately though, this wasn't the case.
A fox boy with two tails approaches Sonic and says, "Sonic, you have been in the Mystic Ruins for thee days now. Don't you think that you should go back to Station Square now?"
"Why Tails, is there a need for me to be back there?"
"It's just that Amy has been constantly emailing about you and when you are coming back. In her last email she threatened that she would come storming over here tomorrow if you weren't home by tonight." A worried expression grew on the Tails' face.
"I guess I'll have to leave then. You know how Amy gets if she doesn't have her way." he replied with just a tiny bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"Right, we all know. Well then goodbye Sonic, and come back soon okay."
"Don't worry; I'll probably be back the day after tomorrow anyways." With that Sonic took off in a flash towards the train station. In the meantime, Amy was once again emailing Tails about Sonic. Several hours later around six o' clock, Sonic arrived home to his apartment. His roommate and crime fighting partner Shadow was there along with Amy.
"Oh Sonic, I'm so glad that you're back in Station Square." said Amy dreamily, "When Tails told me that you were on your way back, I had to come over to greet you back home!"
"Uh, it's nice to see you too Amy." replied Sonic, "Hi Shadow, did anything happen in Station Square while I was gone?"
"Hello Sonic and no nothing happened besides Amy constantly emailing Tails about you." stated the black hedgehog.
"Yeah, I heard about that from Tails." said Sonic and then glanced at Amy, "Isn't there anything else you can do besides worry about me when I'm gone?"
"You know I love you Sonic. Would it kill you to just go on a date with me at least once?" she stared at him with the prettiest face she could conjure up.
"Uh Amy, can we talk about this later please?" Sonic just wanted her to go away.
"Sonic," said Shadow, "You've been oblivious to Amy's charm all these years and ever since Eggman died, you've gone real soft, how come?" Shadow didn't really care, but he still wanted to know.
"I've gone soft because I knew before when Eggman was dead that Amy and I would never be able to have a real relationship. Before Eggman was dead, we were always out saving Station Square from his robots. Now that he is dead though, I'm ready to live my life and maybe have a girlfriend." After saying this Sonic had left Amy in awe and Shadow thinking, 'Wow, how pathetic can Faker be?'
Shadow replied in a somewhat caring/sarcastic voice, "But what if a new evil appeared and forced our lives to be like they were when Eggman was alive?"
"Then I guess I would have to explain to Amy or whomever my girlfriend is that it just wouldn't work out anymore."
"You know if I was your girlfriend that I would completely and totally understand." stated the pink fluff ball.
"I know that you would understand," said Sonic, "besides, I don't even know if I want a girlfriend. Anyways, can we change the subject, it's way too complicated."
"Alright, well I should be leaving anyways," Amy said as she got ready to leave, "bye Shadow and Sonic." As soon Amy leaves the apartment, Shadow starts questioning Sonic like heck.
"Your life truly has gotten messed up ever since Robotnick died." He stated coldly. "It's like without action in your life, all you do is mope around and agree to anything that anyone asks you with no complaints. That is not the Sonic I know. The Sonic I know especially wouldn't admit his feelings for Amy Rose right in front of her."
"Look Shadow, I know that there is something wrong with me. Trust me that the normal Sonic would not be suggesting to go out on a date with Amy." Oh crap he thought, he just told Shadow he liked Amy, didn't he.
"Well I know that there is something wrong with you, wait, you want to go out with Amy?" Shadow started laughing on the inside so much that Sonic could almost tell.
He started blushing, "Uh… I sort of want to go out with her, but only to see how it works out. If it goes good, than I will continue to date her if not, and if it doesn't then I don't know what will happen."
Shadow began to scold him, "Sonic we need to get your life back together."
"I know and we will, after the date."
"Uh, alright fine, but I am coming to this date."
"Why?" Sonic looked utterly confused.
Shadow yelled so loudly that neighbors almost heard him and said, "So you don't screw up your life anymore!!!"
"Oh, okay!" Sonic said that statement so slowly it drove Shadow to being even more insane.

The next morning Shadow says, "Hey Faker, are you ready to ask Amy out or not, I mean it's eleven o' clock and all you've been doing is just sitting there sulking."
"I'm not sulking, I'm thinking!" he yelled, "I can leave whenever I am ready!"
"Then why don't you leave now?"
"Uh... twelve o' clock would be better for me."
"Gah Sonic, you're such a baby! We are leaveing right now whether you like or not!"
"Alright fine, but question, are you coming with me or not?" Shadow stared at Sonic as if he just asked are you a pimp? (Shadow probably does secretly think that he is a pimp.)
"Of course I'm coming you idiot. Now let's go." They run across Station Square like it was nothing and head over to Amy Rose's house. "Okay we're here. Now you march in there and you ask for a date, NOW!" He glares at Sonic so that the blue hedgehog walks up to the door trembling. Amy saw him walk up to the house and before he even got to the opened it and greeted him.
"Hi Sonic, and Shadow too. Why are you guys over here?"
"I um, came to ask you something. Will y-you go out on a d-date with m-me." Shadow is just disgusted at this point. What's going through his head is, 'OMG the Faker can't even ask a girl out without trembling and studdering, pathetic! What a loser, I don't even know why I teamed up with him.'
"Oh Sonic, that is so sweet of you. To answer your question, sure I'll go out with you. How about seven o' clock we could go out to dinner."
"Alright sure, by the way, do you mind if Shadow and his date join us for a double date?" An expression as big as Texas tore on Shadow's face. 'What did that Faker just say?!'
"No, that's fine. So Shadow, who are you going out with?" 'Oh crap, what am I supposed to tell this pink fluff ball?'
"Uh, I'm going out with Rouge. You know, the treasure hunter." Shadow starts mentally biting his finger nails thinking, 'Yeah, yeah. Oh man I hope she can come.'
"Alright great. Well then, see you guys until then. Oh and Sonic, thanks for finally getting the courage to ask me out." Leaving a blank faced Sonic and a still jaw dropped Shadow, Amy walks back into her house thinking, 'Cha-ching! I have finally scored Sonic, oh yeah!' While Amy may have pride, Sonic has just lost all of his according to Shadow.
"What was that all about!?" blurted a tormented Shadow.
"What do you mean? All I did was ask Amy out on a date, I don't see what the promblem is."
Shadow's eye began to twitch, "Y-You don't see what the the promblem is?" controlling his anger he continued, "The promblem is, that you have not only set yourself up, but now have forced me to invite Rogue out!" While Shadow was telling off a hurt looking Sonic, Amy was upstairs in her room with her diary writing, 'Dear diary, today Sonic has asked me out. What shall I wear, only time will tell.'
"Sorry Shadow, I did not mean to make you upset. We will go over to Rogue's house now so that you can ask her out." said Sonic with an added smile.
"Sorry, okay and here we go back to mister nice hedgehog. We will leave so that I can ask Rouge out, but when we get back home, you had better toughen up and stop being "Sonic The Sissy Hedgehog!" With that last statement, sissy Sonic and ticked off Shadow headed for Rouge's house. After running a few miles west of Station Square, they reach a small wooden house. "This is where Rouge lives, you wait here while I ask her out." He walks up to the house while leaving a depressed looking hedgehog to sit on the curb. "Hey Rouge, are you in there?"
"Yes, I'll be right down. Well then, hello Shadow, what's up?" What stood before Shadow was the girl of his dreams, according to him.
"Sonic, Amy, and I are going ou to dinner tonight and I wanted to know if you could come to make a double date." Shadow's thinking 'Oh yeah, I'm so much cooler than that Faker! No studdering!'
"That's fine, I would love to go. What time will you pick me up?"
"Uh," sounding manly, "seven o' clock is when I will pick you up."
"Great, see you later." The door shuts behind Rouge while she is thinking, 'Wow, that was unexpected.'
"Alright Faker, I'm done so you can stop hiding like a coward and come out."
Sonic gets up from the curb still being a sissy and says, "Okay, so we can back home now right?"
"Yes loser." Shadow wanted to get rid of him so badly, so that he could hang out with someone that is cooler than Sonic The Sissy Hedgehog, someone with a demonic heart like his.
"Shadow, please try to be nicer." After what Sonic had just said, Shadow looked like he was about to strangle Sonic.

'Somewhere far away...'
While Sonic and Shadow were making dates, Metal Sonic found Eggman's body and was preparing to revive it with one of Eggman's machines. "Heh, finally everything is set to revive you doctor. I just push this button and PRESTO!" The machine begins to make strange noises while Eggman was coming back to life. "Oh crud!" exclaimed Metal Sonic, "All of his hair including his mustache have turned gray!" While Metal Sonic was freaking out, Eggman was regaining consciousness.
"Er, huh! How did I end up in here, and what happened to my mustache!? Well this is probably Metal Sonic's fault anyways. Eggman begins to sit up to look for who revived him and found none other than creeped out Metal Sonic. "You, I knew you had something to do with this!"
"Look I'm sorry okay! At least I brought you back to life!" He looked into his eyes for any sign of consideration, but found none.
"Eh, well I guess you did do something right, but what exactly happened to my mustache?"
"Uh, I don't know." 'Maybe I should change the subject before he turns me into scrap metal!' "So anyways, what are your wishes for Sonic? Should we threaten him with a nasty email?"
"Oh, he's still alive is he? No, first I should invent a machine that will aid me in destroying him, then I will threaten with a nasty email. Metal Sonic, go search for scrap metal and some bolts, we're going to be busy for awhile."
"Yes, Eggman." Metal Sonic leaves with the thought, 'Wow, what an Eggjerk he is! This is the thanks I get for reviving him!"

'6:30 PM, Station Square'
"Hey Faker, I'm going to pick up Rouge, you go for Amy and meet back here when you get her." Sonic nods as he faces the black and red hedgehog starring at him.
"Uh, okay Shadow." They both take off in a flash towards the houses when Sonic finally realizes that he is becoming a baby, and after the date he is going to try to "toughen" up.
'Fifteen Minutes Later'
"Just be patient Shadow, I'm sure they're on their way back now." Rouge was worried because Shadow had developed serious OCD issues over the last few months, and one of them was being late. He absolutely hated it, and Rouge also knew about his anger management issue and the AK-47 he kept in his room.
"Well it's about time you got back Faker, are you ready to leave now?" Sonic knew Shadow was mad, and when Shadow gets mad it isn't the best idea to be hanging around him.
"Sorry we're late, we had to take the scenic route please don't be mad Shadow." When Sonic said that, Rouge thought 'Is this the same Sonic that I know?'
Shadow just exhaled deeply and said, "It's fine, let's just leave." So the trio of hedgehogs and the bat heade towards the restaurant which just so happened to be the Itallian cusine "Portofino". "Ah, here we are, Portofino." They walk in and sit by a window facing the ocean.
An uptight waiter walks up to them with a raised eyebrow and says, "Welcome to Portofino, my name is Frederick and I will be happy to assist you tonight. May I start you off with an appetizer?"
Shadow stares at the waiter like 'No, I just came over here to starve myself.' "Uh, yeah sure." The waiter walks away and the dates start talking.
A/N: Main focus of chat is between Amy and Sonic.
Amy looks dreamily into his eyes and begins a conversation, "So, it was really nice of you to invite me out. What drove you to ask me out though?"
"It was my undying love for you that drove me. I've always loved you, but like I said yesterday, it woudn't have worked out before. Now that Eggman is dead though, I can admit my feelings." Shadow overheard this and thought, 'Okay then, my guess is that there will be a kiss tonight. How disgusting, I think I'm going to go mentally puke now.'
"Sonic, I can't believe something like that just came out of your mouth. If this is how it has always been, then why didn't you tell me before?"
"Simple, you have never asked." He noticed something out of the corner of his eye, 'Oh, the waiter has finally come back.'
"I have brought you the appitizer which pieces of salmon filet, and what will you be having to eat?"
Shadow replied, "We're all getting salads."
"Okay and do you want you're check with the food or after you're done eating?"
"Can you send it with the food." said Sonic, with a pink fluff ball admiring him.
"Certainly." The waiter leaves, they each take a piece of the salmon, and then they continue to talk with each other.
"So that's it Sonic," said Amy, "you always have truely wanted to date me, haven't you."
With a blank face Sonic said, "Yes, I suppose that is the truth. I guess you could say that I'm also shy." Shadow continues to eavesdrop, not even listening to Rogue anymore. So many thoughts are going through his head. 'Is the Faker moving out, how did he turn so pathetic.' As he is thinking all of this, the snobby waiter comes back with the food and the check. It states that Soic owes telve dollars.'Wow, that's how much Faker owes. Not a lot considering that we are at Portofino. Oh, and the salad is actually pleasing to my appetite.' Amy is also thinking, ' OMG, who would of guessed that he was just shy this entire time!' They eat their dinners and then get ready to leave. "So uh Amy and Rouge, we'll walk you home."
"Okay." They both said. As Shadow took off with Rouge, so did Amy and Sonic.
The duo head over to Amy's house and when they get there Amy says, "Well thanks for walking me back home. Oh also, I have something for you."
"You do, what is it?" asked Sonic.
"It's this." She leans over towards Sonic and kisses him. Sonic is thinking, 'Okay then, I was not expecting that.' "See you later Sonic." Amy winks and walks into her house while leaving a spell bound Sonic on the curb.
"Uh, I should probably go home now." He runs back toward the heart of Station Square, still confused about today's events. When he gets back to the apartment, he notices that Shadow is already back. 'Great, he's going to be wondering why I took so long.' As soon as Sonic walks in the front door, Shadow shifts all of his attention towards Sonic.
"So Faker, what took so long? You only dropped off Amy, right?!" Shadow knew something had happened between the two of them and he was going to find out whether Sonic liked it or not.
"Yeah, that's all I did. It took a little while getting back because I ran into a tough crowd in Station Square." he lied and Shadow knew it.
"Really, are you sure that you didn't run into Amy Rose's mouth?!" Sonic began to blush and Shadow started laughing in his mind, 'Hah, I knew it!'
"Look, she kissed me, okay!" Now all of the white spots on Sonic began to glow a soft pink.
"So it looks like that you will be going on another date because obviously you enjoyed this one."
"I uh, how was your date?" As usual, Sonic the sissy hedgehog was changing the subject.
"Mine was fine, with no romance added," glaring at Sonic, "however, Rouge said that she is leaving for Europe soon to steal some new jewel. Oh well, that's fine though, I don't think she was exactly fond of me anyways." Sonic thought that Shadow would be dissapointed, but then remembered that Shadow isn't mister nice hedgehog. "Anyways, it's late and I'm going to bed. I suggest that you do the same." He walks out of the room leaving Sonic thinking, 'Maybe I should try this date thing again some time.'

'Next Morning - Egg Base'
'...and that is why I am coming to get you! From, Eggman' As Eggman finished writing his nasty letter to Sonic, he noticed that Metal Sonic had come in with tons of scrap metal pieces and bolts. "Ah, excellent Metal Sonic. This is more than enough metal to make my robot."
"Yeah, you're welcome. So that letter you're writing, when are you going to send it?" While Metal Sonic was saying this, his mind seemed to think Eggman actually wasn't going to come up with a corny machine once.
"Oh, I'm not going to mail until after the machine is complete. It wouldn't be good if Sonic got here and I was unprepared."
"Yes, wise choice sir." said Metal Sonic in a drone type voice.

'Time Skip - Six Months Later - Station Square'
It has know been six months and things have changed. Amy and Sonic are now an official couple, Shadow goes out to the heart of Station Square just to pass the time, and Eggman has now finally completed his robot and mailed the letter a couple of days ago.
Trouble had just started to brew up one night after another date between Sonic and Amy. Shadow first found out about it and ran all over Station Square just to find Sonic. When he finally found him he siad, "Sonic, I have bad news for you."
Sonic replied, "What could possibly be the promblem?"
"Eggman is alive and he's coming for you and me!" exclaimed Shadow.
"What?!" So many things were going through Sonic's head, many disturbing to him.
