Tails did not know what else to say to Amy. This could not end well for him. He just took a breath, and hoped for the best.
"So...uh...Amy..." He started. "How about we sit down over here?" He sat her down at the end of his runway, which was definitely not a good idea, since this the setting of terrible scene only a couple minutes earlier. He looked at the sunset, thinking of how beautiful it was. Then, he sparked up an idea.
"Doesn't the sunset look beautiful Amy?" Tails looked over at her. She was still not answering. She sat there looking away from him. Tails just sighed.
"Look. I'm sorry if I freaked you out by kissing you like that." He confessed. "I just couldn't stand to see you cry like that. It really hurt me. I think it hurt me more than seeing Soni-" He stopped. Amy looked at him with great surprise. Tails' conscience started to scream at him. 'You idiot! Why do you always speak your mind!?' He really wanted to hit himself for making such a stupid comment.
"Amy...I didn't mean to say tha-"
"Tails..." She finally spoke. "Do you really care about me more than you care about Sonic?"
What a question! Tails completely froze up. Beats of sweat started to appear on his head.
"Well...uh..." He blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "...only time will tell...uh...right?" His conscious jumped in. 'Nice save.'
Amy looked into Tails' eyes. It seemed like an eternity had gone by before Amy spoke.
"I'll take that as a yes." She put her lips up against Tails'. Tails was startled by this, but he accepted it and put his arms (Well, one arm) around Amy. This felt so good to Tails, but his conscience thought otherwise. 'Tails! What are you thinking? Amy is Sonic's girlfriend you're talking about! You and her are just friends! You can't just take her after what just happened! You don't even know if you love her yet!' After hearing the "L" word in his mind, he broke the kiss from Amy.
"Amy...forget what I did before...that was a mistake..." Amy put her finger up to his lip.
"That's what your mind says, but what about your heart?" Amy replied. "Just think about that while I get something for your arm." She got up and walked away. Tails' conscience wouldn't leave him alone. 'Something doesn't feel right. She's acting very strange. One minute she's breaking up crying about Sonic, and the next think you know, she's kissing me.' Amy came back with a bandage.
"Well...this is all I could find. It should do for now. Hold still." Tails felt butterflies in his stomach again. He really liked the feeling of Amy taking care of him. Maybe his conscience was wrong. Maybe he really did love her.
"That's it!" Tails said out loud by accident. He covered his mouth with his hand.
"What's it?" Amy asked. His conscience jumped in once again. 'Well done Tails! You opened your trap again!'
"Well, Amy...I was thinking about what you said about my heart and..." He paused. Amy knew where this was going. "Amy...I don't know how to say this...I...I..." He couldn't get the words out. Amy started to cry.
"What's wrong?" Tails asked. Amy spilled her guts out.
"This was exactly how Sonic acted when he said he asked to go out with me..."
"Amy, don't talk about that..." Tails sobbed. His eyes began to tear up as well. She grabbed him for support. Amy looked as if she was going to have another break-out of tears, until she looked up behind Tails' shoulder.
"Tails, you're right." She said.
Tails wiped his eyes. "Huh?" He said confused.
"The sunset does looks beautiful tonight." She turned around towards it, and Tails followed. Amy leaned her head against his. There it was, the perfect couple, sitting there looking towards a beautiful sunset. Tails didn't even care anymore, and what he couldn't say before, now came out.
"Amy?" Tails said with serenity in his voice. Amy turned toward him for a response. "I love you."
"I know you do." She replied with a friendly sigh. "I love you too." She laid her head down on Tails' lap and sighed again. The thought of Sonic had disappeared from her mind. "I never knew Tails was so caring." She thought. "Oh...I wish the day wouldn't end now." She yawned.
"You getting tired?" Tails asked. Amy closed her eyes and nodded. Tails looked at how peaceful she looked. He didn't want to ruin it.
"Don't worry; you can rest here for a little while if you want to Amy...Amy?" Amy had already fallen asleep on Tails' soft fur. He quietly laughed.
"What a day." Tails said quietly. "I don't know if it has been a bad or a good one. I wish Sonic could see this. I bet he wouldn't really mind." Several minutes went by, and Amy began to wake back up. She would have loved to sleep like this all night, until Tails finally spoke.
"We should probably go to bed now."
Amy groaned. "Aww, but I really like this." She gave Tails her really cute eyes, and he couldn't resist them.
"Okay, okay. If we lay down inside, you can lie down like this. Deal?" Amy nodded and smiled. She loved it when she got her way. Tails stood up and walked inside, holding Amy's hand.
"You're using your left arm. It must feel better." Amy noticed.
Tails smiled. "Yes it does. Thanks for wrapping it up."
When they entered Tails' house, they laid down on his bed in the position they were in outside, except now Tails could rest his head in a comfortable position on a pillow. She loved how soft his fur was. It was like heaven to her. Before long, she was back asleep. Tails kissed her cheek.
"Good night Amy, and let's hope tomorrow will be better." Then, he fell asleep too.
