Tails learnt some valuable information from the kiss he shared with Cream a few weeks ago. The first thing he learnt was apparently Cream normally kisses friends who help her out. At least that was her explanation which is complete crap; there's never been any slightly existent hint of her making out with anyone else. The second thing he learnt was being in the presence of women was enough to satisfy, sometimes.

Because of this, the once moody fox had broken out of his shell and hung out with girls again. Well, Amy and Rouge anyways. It's not like he had never talked to them before, far from it. But due to a lack of seeing them, their relationship had been somewhat damaged. However, Tails saw that and made it his mission to rebuild his friendships and make them better. He thought he had done a good job so far.

And tonight would definitely prove that.

Another night, another stroll. Having a brain as filled as Tails' was, he frequently tossed and turned in bed, forcing himself to go to sleep. It rarely took long for him to give up and he would find himself walking through this nice forest as he was now. He had always loved the beauty of the dark sky and tonight the stars were out as an added bonus. The trees and grass looked outstanding under the moonlight; it was no wonder why the two tailed fox liked this place so much. The atmosphere of the forest, the navy blue sky and the floating pink ball together were all too much for him.

...Wait, floating pink ball?

Tails instantly stopped scanning the area and focused his gaze on the small pink object far from him. Unable to recognise it, he quietly walked further towards it until he was only about 10 feet away. Once he got a good view, he instantly smacked himself for not realising what it was.

Amy Rose's hair, duh? He'd only been staring at it for weeks.

She was sitting on a large log which had buried itself into the ground, keeping it firm in place. For a moment, he considered whether talking to her was a good idea or if he should leave her be. She was incredibly quiet and Sonic had frequently told him, that was never a good thing when it came to girls.

Oh, what the heck? There's no way anything too bad could come from it and it's not like anyone else was going to talk to her. Her and Tails are all alone together; this might be an opportunity for them to get to know each other better.

"Amy?" The pink hedgehog snapped her head around at the sound of his voice (Tails almost jumped from the sudden movement). She spent a split second in complete panic, but felt herself loosen up once she recognised the orange fur.

"Oh. Hi Tails." She spoke softly, delivering a weak smile. Tails smiled back, before walking over to the log she sat on. He nudged at its side, asking for permission. Amy nodded and he sat down beside her.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Couldn't sleep, so I took a walk instead. How about you?" Amy sighed at his question, making the worried fox quickly regret asking.

"I was going to spend some time here with Sonic, but he's dealing with Eggman again."

"Really?" Tails replied a little too quickly. 'He didn't tell me about it.' Realising his sudden outburst, he covered his mouth until he noticed that she hadn't listened.

"Well, sorry to hear that."

"It's alright, Tails." She gave him a stronger smile this time, unsurprisingly causing red blush to flourish his cheeks. "I like it here." She turned back to gazing into the forest, admiring the atmosphere. The fox opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it, not wanting to ruin her enjoyment. Instead he joined in and stared into the wilderness as well.

When a few minutes in, Tails' daydreams were interrupted by the sound of rustling next to him. Turning to his right, his attention was caught by Amy removing her gloves and settling them on the ground. Her soft, delicate hands (something Tails never had the pleasure of seeing) found their way into the moonlight, which did not help Tails' rather flustered situation. The real shock came straight after, when Amy grabbed his hand and gently removed his own glove.

Surprise was the understatement of the century, but the fox refused to say anything with the possibility of ruining the moment. After placing his gloves against her own, she laced her hand with his, intertwining their fingers together. By now Tails was so red, he could have been mistaken for a spray tan accident. He looked back at Amy, who graced him with a heart warming smile. Like it was nothing, she rested their now linked hands on his lap before turning back to continue gazing.

Tails couldn't even begin to comprehend what just happened, but quickly shot his head back to gazing position. It was rude to stare, after all.

"The stars reflect really nicely in the water." Amy said, breaking the silence. Tails looked at her then turned his glance to where she was staring. In front of them was a huge, navy blue pool with a perfectly clear reflection of the sky above them. It made a gorgeous sight to see.

"Y-Yeah. I guess so." Tails stuttered, still not quite used to the feeling of taking Amy's hand in his. However, he wouldn't have to get used to it, because she then stood up and broke their grip. Tails wasn't sure if he was thankful or sadder than he had ever been.

"Hey, Tails." She whispered to him, a sudden excited look plastered on her face.

"Yeah?"

"Let's go in the pool. Together." Oh my god, she did not just say that. Tails was getting embarrassed enough as it is. If Amy was about to soak her dress in his presence, he would forget how to breathe.

"I can't! It's too cold in there!" He responded almost suspiciously fast, but Amy wasn't fazed at all.

"No it's not. I've been in there before, loads of times." Crap. That was his only excuse, put to waste right there. 'Quick, distract her.'

"Umm... b-but I can't... I mean-" his words were cut off by the heart wrenching frown that appeared on the pink beauty's face.

"Please, Tails?" She asked in the most perfect tone you could imagine to come from a girl. The nervous fox was sure to regret this.

It took a few seconds before he managed to push out the words "Alright, Amy." Thankfully, the chains at his heart broke right off when he saw her smile again.

"Thank you! Now go in before I get tired."

"Wait, why do I have to go in first?"

"So I know for sure that you won't try to leave me." She giggled in response. With a defeated sigh, Tails got up from the log and walked over to the edge of the pool. As slowly and steady as he could, he dipped a hand into the pool and was pleasantly surprised by the warmth. Relieved, he sat down, feet entering the water and slipped himself all the way in. He gave a nice sigh, relishing in the new feeling overcoming him. Remembering who was with him, he turned back to Amy. Unprepared summed up everything that came next.

On the edge of the pool, with a face that implied nothing shocking was happening right now, stood Amy in nothing but a light blue bra and matching underwear. Emotions were flying through the head of Tails so fast, he had no idea what to think. His eyes only widened further when he bore witness to her hands moving to her upper back. Quickly getting an idea of what was happening, on impulse, Tails jerked his head to the side and screwed his eyes shut, refusing to take a single peek.

Seconds after, a loud splash was heard, forcing the image of a soaked, naked Amy into the innocent fox's mind. Continuing to keep his eyes shut, he waited for some noise to take up the complete quiet. But nothing came, no matter how long he waited. Curiosity was getting the better of him. He couldn't just sit there, eyes tightly shut, waiting for something to happen.

In the longest, most stretched out seconds imaginable, Tails parted his eyelids and stared at the sight before him. Well, he couldn't exactly be surprised that Amy was naked and relaxing against the small wall above the water. He felt rather lucky to have only caught sight of her face, ignoring the absolutely dominating urge to look down, just a little.

It seemed to only be a big deal to him though, as Amy was happily smiling to herself, eyes closed, back pressed against the surface. So, logically, Tails should do the same. As if that was no problem with these circumstances.

It took a while to close his eyes again (he wasn't sure whether to blame the awkwardness or the privilege of the sight before him), but he managed the task. He pressed his back against the smooth, rock hard surface in an attempt to repeat the actions of the pink hedgehog. For the next few minutes, they relaxed their bodies into the warm water, letting all thoughts and feelings fly out of their systems. One of them wasn't doing an especially good job, occasionally opening one eye for a quick glance. I'll give you three guesses, as to which of the two that was.

When after a whole eternity of a while...

"Wow, it's so nice here!" Amy almost moaned the words out, practically forcing Tails' attention on her (and working very successfully). Still blushing like his life depended on it and too inexperienced to think of what to say, he simply replied with "Yeah, I guess so." He quickly cursed himself for that pathetic response, but the curse was shortly lifted after it earned him a warm smile.

In a surprisingly comfortable manner, Tails smiled back almost just as warmly. That didn't last too long, as the somewhat distant hedgehog was now slowly, but surely walking towards him.

'Oh god!' He thought, panic rising up in him as he thought of what to do, while simultaneously thinking about when she walked, the water would flow into her, soaking her skin... yeah, Tails decided to stop thinking too much after that.

"Tails?" His head swept back in front of him, his view noticeable different from earlier. He didn't recall a pink hedgehog being inches away from his face before.

"Uhh... y-yeah?" He replied clumsily, although her smile showed she didn't seem to mind.

"Thanks for being here with me, tonight." She whispered, softly. Tails blamed his imagination on how loving Amy was sounding right now.

"Oh. N-No problem." He answered. Was that the end of that conversation? Of course not. He felt a tug at his gloveless hands and peered down. Just like before, Amy's hands had linked with his own and his cheeks flourished with red. He looked back at her face and quickly took note that her eyes were much softer and less strained than before.

"You've been really friendly with me, lately." Tails ignored how that sentence sounded in his head and let her continue. "I'm starting to feel really valued when I'm around you. I hope we can be together like this, more often. It really means a lot to me." She finished, sounding more loving with every syllable. Tails was at a loss for words. And he was certain that in the past few moments, Amy's face had inched even closer to his own (like that was possible).

He didn't even notice how her hands were no longer in his hands and were now placed on his furry chest. She rested her fingers, comfortably into his skin, relishing in the feel. Time was getting slower and slower.

"Tails..." She whispered. Her face leaning further, her eyes gently closing. Tails felt incapable of movement, yet he felt his eyes close and his own head move in closer. In mere moments, their lips had connected in a simple, gentle kiss.

In all the times Tails had dreamed this event up, he never imagined he would take it so easily. He always thought that if it did happen, he would panic and screw it up before it began. But it felt too right for that. Heart pounding, he wrapped his hand around her head and slowly pulled her face, moulding their lips together and deepening the kiss.

"Mmm, Tails..." Amy moaned into his mouth, rubbing her hands along his chest, rhythmically kissing back. Tails started running his hand through strands of her hair while rubbing her waist with the other. They kissed like long time lovers. How he managed to hold her so she was perfectly comfortable, kissed her in the softest way like she loved it and stroked her face to make her melt.

He licked on her lower lip, tasting her strawberry lip gloss and relishing in her moans. How did he get this lucky? Before tonight, he swore something like this would never happen. Yet here he was, kissing one of the most beautiful girls he knew in the most romantic environment. He couldn't wait to tell Sonic about this!

Sonic... Wait! Hold the phone!

Almost instantly, Tails tore his lips away from Amy's (although their distance hadn't increased at all).

"Amy, this isn't right. You're with Sonic, not me." He said rather fast, his sense of authority taking over. But he already felt defeated, when his pink lover didn't look remotely phased by his sudden resistance. Still smiling, she once again took his hands in her own. He didn't pull them away. He couldn't if he wanted to.

"You're thinking about this the wrong way, Tails." She whispered and guided his hands, placing them firmly on her breasts. 1000 alarms just fired off in Tails' head as evidenced by his wide eyes. But he didn't move a muscle.

"Don't think of Sonic." She placed her head against his.

"Don't think of the consequences." She placed her hand along his cheek.

"Don't think of the future." She caressed his cheek in long, sensual rhythm.

"Just think of us." She pressed her lips against his once more, her words twisting all of Tails' morals like fire. If it was any other time, he would debate this long and hard in his head. Right now, he didn't have to think about it. Wasting no more seconds, he wrapped her arms around her and kissed her as lovingly and as passionately as he could manage. He knew it was wrong. But he refused to stop until it was all over.

It's ok though. They only had a whole night left.
