"… He's someone different, someone that I would have never thought I would have thought I would be with. I'm… Glad that I'll spend the rest of my life with him."
Amy said, finishing her story telling to Sonic Hedgehog. Sonic didn't believe it, not to this day. He began walking once the crosswalk allowed him to.
'Amy... God, how could I be so STUPID!'
He didn't watch where he was going, he only heard that familiar grunting once he found himself on the floor.
"Watch where you're going, Faker."
Sonic just stared at the one who stole his Rose from him. Shadow got up and picked up what he was carrying, which was a small red box. He offered to help Sonic up by extending his hand to him. The other Hedgehog took it and thanked Shadow for the hand.
"Is that... For her?" Sonic asked nervously.
"Yeah. It's for tomorrow's wedding. I finally got her the ring she wanted."
Shadow said, bringing a smile that went from ear to ear. Sonic saw this and felt jealously for the other hedgehog.
"Well... Good luck tomorrow, then. Just hope that she says 'I Do'." Sonic said finally after a long pause.
"Yeah, thanks Sonic." Shadow said as he began to go on his way once more.
Later that evening, Sonic sat at his bed, just staring at the tux he was going to wear for tomorrow's big event. One that he wished he wasn't going to.
'*sigh* ... Amy... Why can't I get you out of my head? I wish...'
Sonic got up, in frustration, and walked towards the phone that sat on the night stand. He dialed a number and listened in.
"Hey, can we meet up? Yeah, at the usual place."
Sonic arrived moments before the other person did later that night. He stood on top of Cherry Hill, looking towards the flower filled field. Even at the middle of the night, this place was still beautiful.
"Hello, Sonic. It's been awhile."
Here came the person he was waiting for, the one that had his heart. Amy stood there in front of him, wearing her custom red dress and knee-high boots. Her quills went down towards her well defined hips, and her bangs covered her right eye, since they were really long now. That, in Sonic's eyes, was something sexy on Amy. Sonic also noticed that there was something different about her, like she was... Glowing?
"Hey, Amy. How long can you stay for?"
Sonic asked, studying her very closely. He took every detail about her into his head, knowing that after tomorrow, she will be Shadow's Rose.
"I can stay for a little bit. What's on your mind?"
She walked towards the blue hedgehog. Sonic noticed that as she got closer, his heart began having a race of it's own, going faster and faster as she took each step towards him.
"I... I want to tell you something..."
He looked down towards his sneakers, pondering on the one thing he really wanted to do at that moment.
"Well, what-"
Sonic kissed her, that's all that he wanted. He wanted to feel her lips for himself before she would be taken away forever. She never returned his kiss, she just stood there, letting Sonic have a good taste. She knew what was going on.
"I'm sorry, Ames. I just... God dammit!"
Sonic took her hands into his, holding them tightly.
"I wish that I could be the one marrying you tomorrow! Not Shadow! But all I cared about was fame and having fun."
Sonic hands went to hold Amy's head, by the time her eyes were filled with tears. She too, deep down inside, still loved him. But, she knew that Shadow was her Forever, not Sonic. She felt bad for him. Maybe if things did work out between them...
Sonic drew Amy's face closer for one final kiss on the lips, and this time Amy did return the favor. Sonic was finally at peace. He felt lighter than air. Amy's kiss was the one thing that he wished to have, but.. For the rest of his life. Forever.
"Amy, you are the Rose that I left to wilt. I never watered you, took you to the sunlight or even gave you the love you deserve. But before you died, Shadow came and did all that. I want you to be happy. I'll always love you, Amy Rose Hedgehog."
As hard as it was for him, Sonic finally let Amy go. She was speechless, her body didn't move because of it. She heard all the sweet things from Sonic, but now it was too late.
"Sonic... Good luck." Was all that was heard.
He knew that he screwed up. He looked towards the ground, avoiding Amy's light green eyes. He felt her stare and was ashamed about what he did and said to her.
Amy began to walk away. Walking away from a future that she always dreamed about and was walking towards a future that she knew she was going to be happy with.
Sonic only stared at the ground. When he knew Amy was at a far distance, he collapsed to the ground, sobbing as he reached the floor.
"AMY!"
The tears were already flowing down her cheeks as she continued to walk away from Sonic.
All three for the hedgehogs wished for something. Amy wished, and she did forget her feelings for Sonic, but they came back as soon as there lips made contact. Shadow wised and got back Maria and finally Sonic wished and had his little piece of haven, but left him with a piece of himself he won't regain again.
