As you might of known, this story title used to be different, but I changed it due to the story changing. It's been a long time since I last did a chapter on here, so I thought before I decide to create any new stories, I might as well finish this. This story may contain bad language later on in the story, if this does happen, I will change the rating to M. It also might have a few love scenes, depending on whether I think it would be appropriate for the story. If you have bad, personal views about this story, I suggest you PM me instead so I can speak to you directly. Apart from that, I hope you ALL enjoy the story...

The BIG Result

By SpeedAngel9294

Chapter One
Marriage Advice

It was a bright sunny morning and everyone was up and ready to continue their day as planned from before. Miles Prower, also known as Tails with his two twin tails was out in the workshop finishing off his 'emerald clone machine' along with Knuckles who was sitting on the x tornado, feeling rather bored. He didn't want to go back to the floating island straight away, in case his girlfriend was still there, chattering on about how it would be great if they were married. He had been dating Rouge the Bat for at least a year now, and was beginning to think it was going too far ahead, too quickly. She expected big pointy shaped jewels for her birthday, christmas and on their anniversary.

"What am I going to do Tails. She wants a giant diamond for an engagement ring!" the echidna laid against the plane, staring up at the wooden ceiling above him. "I'm only 20…I don't wanna get married" he wined, slapping his arms over his chest. Knuckles had been complaining for the past 2 hours to Tails, who wasn't really paying the slightest attention to him. In fact, Tails was trying his hardest to create a Chaos Emerald Clone Machine, so that he could clone the 7 emeralds that they already had, to make them extremely powerful. This was so Sonic could combine all 14 emeralds together to make him an even stronger super form that before.
"Tails, are you listening?" the red echidna sobbed, looking up at the fox who was screwing bolts into his new creation. The twin tailed fox, licked his lip as he pushed the bolt round for the fourth time then smiled, before jumping back to see whether it held together.
"Not really Knuckles. If you haven't noticed; I've been a bit busy" he muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead. This only made Knuckles roll his eyes with sarcasm, looking down at the tiny scrap of metal that Tails called a 'creation'.
"A bit busy? You've been playing with that metal box for the past 2 hours" Knuckles complained. "Sonic said you was a good listener. Obviously not"
Tails rotated around with a frown, staring at his friend.
"You've been with Rouge for a year, she keeps giving you hints to ask for her hand in marriage, but you aren't ready yet and want to wait. She keeps telling you about a big diamond ring she likes in the jewellery store but you can't afford it yet" he repeated, winking at Knuckles as if to joke.
"Oh…so you was listening" Knuckles mumbled, beginning to blush. Tails only shrugged, turning back to his working piece.
"I do listen. Even if I'm working" Tails babbled as he picked up his screwdriver. "Besides, you can always talk to someone else about your problems…like Amy?" he suggested, pausing to watch as the echidna sprang from the plane.
"That's a good idea…actually" Knuckles laughed, as he began to leave the workshop. Tails nodded his head slowly, watching the echidna run off with a smile on his face. Soon he disappeared within the distance, causing Tails to relax.
"Men" he choked, before getting back to work.

Down the dusty road from Tails' workshop was a little hill with thousands of fully grown flowers which lead up to the home of Amy Rose. She had always planted seeds on the hill, to make it stand out more before welcoming her guests to her house. Her house wasn't far from her flower garden. In fact it was only just on the other side, surrounded by nicely shaped shrubs and bright bushy trees that grew fresh apples for Amy to pinch. Her wooden sign with the words 'home of Amy Rose' was taken down years ago before her fourteenth, and replaced by a white wooden fence that went around Amy's front garden.
Knuckles stomped over the stoned pathway, preventing him from standing on any of the colourful flowers Amy had planted, then soon came to her front gate leading to her front garden and her white clear front door. Opening it and closing it behind him, he walked up to the front door, staring at the clear freshly cut grass.

"Amy…you home?" Knuckles called, knocking the door with the slightest tap. He waited silently, smelling the baking from her kitchen window.
"Hi Knuckles, come on in" he heard the girl chant. This made Knuckles smile wider, as he opened the white door that led him into her welcoming home. There was no such colour of pink, which was what he thought would surround her walls and floors. In fact there were many colours, all different with a certain blending to make it feel cosy and warm.
Out from the kitchen walkway, Amy came in, greeting him with a hug. "Hey Knuckles, what brings you here?" she wondered, with her dark green eyes sparkling in the light.
She led him into the green living room, where the cream coloured sofas stood, waiting to be sat on. Her fireplace was to the side of her house, with a wooden shelf above it and ornaments on top of that. In front of it was the sofa, with another matching chair to the side of it, and a television beside it. Knuckles couldn't help but 'aw' at the amazing colours that stood out from her living room. The white, the green, the cream…he could only imagine such a great section of colours to keep the room so much alive.

Looking round the room, he sat down on the soft chewy sofa in front of the warm fire taking a final look before turning back to his friend.
"Amy…I never knew your house was so…" he paused, grinning warmly at the pink hedgehog who sat down beside him. "Amazing" he finished.
The 16 year old only smiled back lovingly as she flickered her eyelids.
"It did take a while" she admitted. Knuckles nodded his head, before gulping slowly.
"I need some advice…a girl's advice" he whispered, as if to tell a secret. Amy nodded her head slowly, dusting off her white sundress as he continued. "Rouge wants me to propose to her…but I don't think I'm ready. I can't even afford the ring she wants…I need help" he begged. This made Amy giggle.
"Oh Knuckles, you silly echidna. Rouge doesn't mind if you're not ready. She isn't going to pressure you into it, you know" Amy sighed deeply, before looking down at her own bare hand. "We don't mind waiting…it's not like we'll murder you if you don't ask"

This only made Knuckles think harder, as he watched Amy slowly pull her hand to her lap with sadness. "You don't have to prove you love her by marrying her. But if you want to spend the rest of your life with her…then marriage is a good way to show that" Amy finished, standing up from her seat. Knuckles rubbed his head, staring at the blank black screen from the television only to see his reflection.
"Thanks Amy, you're a good friend" he said happily, standing up alongside the pink hedgehog. Amy nodded her head, as her smile grew wider.
"You're welcome Knuckles"
Her eyes danced, watching the red echidna walk out with a beam on his muzzle, leaving her alone in the living room.
She stood still for a few seconds, lifting her hand up to stare with misery at the bare finger that could have had a gold ring surrounding it. Her heart pounded with jealously, hurt and sadness only for her to take one breathe in, before letting out a very strong breath out. This was always how Amy calmed herself down, breathing in and out.
Sighing, she returned back into the kitchen where she was suddenly greeted by a black hedgehog with red streaks in his quills. He sat at her dining room table, with a piece of pie that Amy had baked, eating it slowly.

"Shadow?" she lifted her eyebrow with confusion, noticing that he was not alone. In fact an invisible creature sat beside him, only appearing to be one of her friends Espio, from the Chaotix Team. "Espio? Shadow? What are you two doing here?" she asked crossing her arms firmly, leaning against the wall with disappointment.
"Just here for the pie…we could smell it from miles away" Espio grumbled as he bit into the hot mouth-watering apple pie. Licking his lips after, he waved.
"And to say hi to a friendly face" he said gloomily. Amy nodded her head, turning to Shadow who only replied with a "Humph".
The three were silent after. Amy sat on the other side of Espio, watching her beloved apple pie being eaten up by the two grumpiest people she knew. "Thanks for the pie, Amy" Espio muttered as he vanished in thin air, leaving Amy to clear up his plate. She sighed with boredom only to receive a devils stare from the red eyes of Shadow.
"Something…wrong?" he asked deeply, noticing the girl's sadness. Amy shook her head, taking the two empty plates away and dumped them into the sink, ready to be cleaned.
"No, nothing's wrong. Just getting bored…with nothing to do"
Shadow watched her with his beady eyes. "Where's Faker?" He asked bitterly, glancing around the kitchen. Amy shrugged her shoulders, her eyes falling to the ground as she stared at the wooden tiles underneath her feet.
"Possibly running around somewhere. What do you care?" She snapped back, forcing her emotions onto him. Shadow saw this and shrugged carelessly.
"No reason. Thought he would stick around for pie. Better things to do than run around a helpless child, like yourself?" he questioned causing a tight smirk on his face. Amy didn't think anything of this, she knew Shadow and herself were close, and she knew he would stand by her if she needed help, but he couldn't help but mock her slightly to prove he was still his grumpy self.
"Don't you have anything better to do then toy with a friend?" Amy asked, crossing her arms over with a growl. Shadow snorted with a humph, as he stood up with a red chaos emerald in his grip.
"I do…but it's more fun" he muttered before sneakily chanting his two favourite words. "Chaos control" and he was gone. Amy couldn't help but grunt at the mysterious hedgehog as he left with a flashing light.
"Pfft, he didn't even say goodbye" she mumbled.

Later that day, Amy was nervously waiting in her living room with her favourite TV programme on low volume just so she could hear the flames of the fires splatter against each other. In her nightgown, she tucked herself round warmly watching the clock tick and move. She felt lonely, unwanted, as if no one wanted to be with her, to spend time with her.

It soon became dark, and Amy had switched the night lamps on, shutting the curtain close.
Her silence shocked her, as everyone knew her as a kind friendly person, a chatty one at that. But she out did herself, proving to no one but herself that she could be a changed person. There was no one but Amy. And Amy only.
Fiddling around with her fingertips, she couldn't help but stare at her pictures that hung happily on her wall, staring back at her.
A image of Amy, Tails, Knuckles and Sonic drew her attention. Each one of them was smiling greedily, to show that they were proud and excited to be friends as well as members of a heroic team.
This surprised Amy, as her younger self was so much different from now. Her looks, her fashion, including her personality. Her red dress and matching boots had been dumped ages ago, along with her loving Sonic fan attitude. It had all gone. And Amy hoped it was never to return.
