Sonic didn't move from that spot in Amy's driveway for God knows how long. He just laid there, staring where Amy walked away from him. After what could have been a couple minutes or a couple hours, Sonic finally got up from the ground and walked off, only looking back at Amy's house before continuing to walk. To where he didn't know. All Sonic knew was that he just need to get away for a bit.

He didn't know where to go. But his feet seem to, as they made their way back to the diner for a second time that day. He didn't even run there, he just. . .walked. As he entered the diner's brightly-lit interior, Sonic didn't feel the normal happiness he felt whenever he entered the restaurant. Instead, he just felt empty. He made his way over to a booth in the way back, ignoring confused looks from other regular patrons like himself.

He slumped into the leather seat as though he wanted to sink into it and disappear forever. Only an hour or so passed before the other customers left and the place was a ghost town. Eggman finally noticed his adversary just slumped over in the darkened corner of the restaurant, he quickly made his way over.

"Sonic! I didn't see you come in. Are you okay?"

"Why do you care?" Sonic's normal happy tone was replaced by a voice full of venom and depression.

Eggman was surprised, taken aback by Sonic's new rude demeanor and blunt tone, as even when the two were battling, Sonic would always crack a joke or a quip. And now after all the time the two spent chatting, Eggman was starting to feel like they could really be something else besides enemies.

"I care cause we're friends, aren't we?"

Sonic suddenly sat straight up, his eyes were tired, sad, and angry all rolled into one, "You're kidding me, right? You're a bad guy, I'm a good guy. Why the hell would we of all people be friends!?"

"Sonic, you're upset cause of what's going on with Amy, I can see that-"

"You can't see shit! I'm not your friend. So quit acting like you are mine."

Eggman looked utterly defeated at the point. He just sighed and turned away from the hedgehog he nearly called friend.

"You call yourself a good guy. But I don't think you understand what it means."

Sonic didn't reply, just sat there his eyes closed, shaking softly. It was only when Eggman turned around and looked at Sonic again, was that when he saw Sonic. . .was crying.

Eggman sat down next to his sobbing enemy turned unlikely friend. Sonic didn't seem to care anymore as he howled and sobbed in utter despair. It broke Eggman's almost cold-hearted heart. Sonic tried in vain to speak, but only choked sobs came out so he cleared his throat, wiped away the tears and tried again.

"Eggman. . ."

"Sonic?"

"I'm sorry."

"I know, Sonic. I know. . ."

"I just don't know what to do. Amy's done with me and it hurts a lot."

"Maybe this is how Amy felt every time you didn't show up to a date, or ran away from her, or rejected her when she confessed her love to you. Maybe Amy wanted you to know how it feels."

"How what feels?"

"To be unloved."

Author's Note

Sorry for the short (mostly filler) chapter.

But I really like the concept of Eggman and Sonic becoming friends. I don't really know why. It just makes me smile whenever I see those two getting along.

But don't worry! The next chapter will have more to do with Amy and Sonic (hopefully) reconciling and all that.

do hope you enjoyed this little part though!
