Sonic ran faster his legs were aching it had been so many miles since he had rested but he couldn't stop his life was at stake, he looked down and swallowed the small lump he felt rising in his throat as he looked down at the water. He had beaten the fear that had crippled him his entire life… but still swimming just seemed a skill he couldn't to master. But still he would be safe as long as he didn't stop moving. Soon he took in a breath of relief as he saw the smooth white sand of the emerald beach rise up to meet him, finally his feet were on solid ground but soon he was covered in water as the large wake he had created finally caught up to him. He coughed and sputtered some he looked up to see a familiar bat with quite the female form and an even more familiar giggle

"Well, that's an odd way of giving yourself a bath Sonic….and with your shoes on no less." She grinned and put out her hand to help him stand. "So, what brings you back around our little ole neck of the woods?" Sonic smiled as he looked into her eyes.

"Well, it's simple really… I didn't intend to be gone forever I just wanted to move for a little bit see some more of the world, ya'know?" She nodded some and looked around laughing some

"Hmmmm, I'd have thought your personal pink fan club would have been here waiting. I almost thought she had a sonic esp. or something." Sonic joined her in her laugh.

"Yeah well I better go say hi to her I don't really want to her crying that I hate her." He waved and turned running off though the city stopping with a screech in front of the tall apartment building looking up at it he opened the front door and climbed the stairs finally reaching the door which belonged to Amy he had only been here once to say goodbye and explain to her that he was only taking a short vacation alone. Sonic couldn't help but smile as he remembered the way that she accused him of having an affair. He brought his knuckles down upon the door instantly a sweet voice answered "hello?" Amy opened the door a crack peeking out suddenly throwing the door open.

"Sonic! Your back! Don't tell me, you couldn't stand to be away from me any longer so you came back to marry me!" She griped him in a powerful hug pulling him into her apartment.

"Alright, I won't say that." He put his arms on her shoulder and smiled seeing her disappointed look "anyways if I married you then I wouldn't get to hear all of your great proposals hmm?" Amy reluctantly laughed the disappointment showing in her body language.

"Well at least imp the first person you've visited right. Right?" she folded her arms getting ready to yell at him for forgetting about her until he smiled and nodded slowly. "What! Are you serious Sonic? You really thought of me first. Wow you really are coming around, soon we will be walking down the aisle." Sonic could see that dreamy look in her eyes secretly he loved that look, it made all the annoyance that came with the girl worth while, and surprisingly she had been quite under control of herself, and even more she had grown! Amy no longer was the child he had left her body was endowed with a curvier more womanly physique, nothing amazing but it seemed so different. He looked at her body unable to pay attention to her words as he looked back up to her eyes he met a smirk on her face. "Like what you see?" she grinned.

"You've changed Amy, not the little girl I left behind, I'll have to remember that" He leaned in giving her a small hug before turning around. "Well I'd like to stay and talk but I really should see everyone else."
