Chapter 2

A hero's hug

Sonic was carrying Amy back home when he thought of Tails. He was going to have to think of something that he could give to him for a present. He knew Tails was a genius so something mechanical is out of the question since Tails could just build it in a matter of hours, or even minutes. Amy noticed Sonic's thinking and was curious. "Hey Sonic what's on your mind?" No response.

"Earth to Sonic!" She called waving her hand in front of him.

"Huh? Oh what?" Said Sonic.

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Amy.

"Oh... well I haven't seen Tails since two weeks ago so I was thinking of getting him a little gift tomorrow for helping me out so much. But I want to get him something kinda meaningful. To say that it's from his big bro you know?"

"Yeah I understand. Hey how about I make something for him?" Amy said with enthusiasm.

"Really?"

"Sure! It won't take too long to make. I just need to think of a nice little design. I'll have it ready by tomorrow. Okay?"
"Ah sweet! Thanks Amy! I owe you one big time!"

"I'll remember that." Said a grinning Amy.

"Just don't get any fancy ideas alright?"
"Oh fine... How about a hug?" Amy blushed a little expecting a no.

"Really?" Asked Sonic a little confused. "No dressing up in a puppy costume or 1000 word long poem? Okay sure! A hug as soon as we get you home."

Amy was shocked at this but was so extremely excited by the the fact that she would be hugged by her hero Sonic the hedgehog. Just thinking about it got her dreaming for the ride home.

After a few minutes of running, Sonic finally got Amy home. When he put her down from his arms ,Amy just stood there patiently and shyly looking at Sonic.
"So... I'll make that bracelet for you tomorrow...okay?" Said Amy

"Sure. And thanks allot I really appreciate it." Sonic said back with a smile.

After a little awkward silence Sonic shouted out "Alright! I know what you want so just close your eyes for a second okay?"

"Sure!!" Amy yelped in excitement.

She stood there with her eyes closed as tight as possible. She was so excited. Then suddenly she felt the wind rush by her.

She looked around feeling a little shocked.
"Sonic?" She called out. No answer.

"Sonic?!" Still no answer.

"Oh that brat!" Yelled a frustrated Amy. "I can't believe he just ran off like tha-"

She was cut off by a big hug from behind her that picked her up and squeezed her hard, but soft enough to not hurt.

"Thanks Amy!" Sonic said. And with that took off to his home.

Amy stood there feeling so many emotions at once. But most of all happiness. She was just hugged by her hero and she had a date with him tomorrow. His arms felt so soft in that hug and he was so strong!

She skipped into her home happily and went to her kitchen to make herself something to eat when a powerful wind rushed by her again. She looked all around but couldn't find Sonic. She figured it was nothing, but after walking into the kitchen she saw a container and a note. Amy was curious. After opening the container, her mouth watered. It was a box full of delicious noodles that smelled absolutely ravishing. She was about to dig in when the note caught her attention. She picked it up and started reading.

"Thanks again for helping me out Amy. You have no idea how much this means. Consider this just another way of me saying thanks. Hope you enjoy the food. Being a hero has its benefits like the best food in town! Bon apetite."

P.S. Where the same dress. You don't have to dress up all fancy for tomorrow.

Sonic the Hedgehog ;)
