Chapter 4

Sonic and the others waited for Doctor Quacks diagnosis when he turned to them they were relived to see his beak had a smile on it. "Burrnies going to be fine she just had a nasty knock to the head." Antoine turned to the Doctor "May I ztay wiz her?" "Of course." Antone too k a seat by his love and willed her to wake up.

Sally watched Antoines devotion and sighed wistfully, she wondered if Sonic would do that for her. A young 2 tailed fox shook her out of her thoughts "Are you okay aunt Sally?" Sally smiled at her segregate nephew "Now that I know Burrnies going to be all right I am. That said I think we'd better check up on Sonic." He had left for a bit of peace and quiet once he found out Burnnie was all right.

The 2 found him by the ring pool and when Sonic turned to look at them they saw the fear in his eyes the kind you get when you think you're going to die soon. Sally motioned Tails to give them a moment alone and Tails complied without complaint and left the 2 alone. "Sonic… you have to believe theirs a way out of this…" "There isn't Sally that thing is going to kill me. Oh I'll make him work for it, I'll fight with everything I have but he is going to kill me." Sally looked miserably at her love and wondered how to cheer him up. "Unless of coarse you defeat him." Sonic looked sceptically at her the very suggestion was laughable. "Defeat it? I've fought it twice and twice I've been beaten to a bloody pulp." "You know they say the 3rd times a charm." "Sal I have no strength against it, it's my super form but more than that he's reached his full power." Sonic looked across the lake tacking in the sheer simple beauty of the scene before him. "You do have something that he doesn't." "Oh? And what's that?" Sally turned Sonics face to her own and blue and green eyes met. "This." And with that Sally kissed Sonic as passionately as she could. Sonic was taken aback for a few moments but soon found himself returning the kiss just as passionately and forgot all the things that had recently been troubling him. When they finally parted for air they both grinned playfully. "Sally you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." "Now do you understand that whatever Super has planned for you, you wont have to face it alone were all here for you." Sonics eyes shone with the determination he always used to have he would find a way to beat super no matter what happened he always found a way to overcome his opponent. Sally saw this and kissed him again letting all the feelings for Sonic she had kept pent up inside herself out.

"Touching." a cold voice spoke in Sonics head causing him to end the kiss abruptly. Sally looked questionably up at him. "We're linked." Sonic replied "He's talking in my head." "Well it would seem you've got your girl friend back which means it will hurt you even more once I slit her throat in front of you." "NO!..." Sonic screamed back to the voice "… I will defeat you and what's more is that I'll fight you on your terms just to prove how much better I am!" The cold voice laughed harshly "Then it will be a pleasure to eliminate you Blue Blur. Be on your guard, expect me at unlikely times!" The voice faded and Sonic turned to Sally and the look of concern on her face…and grinned. "Come on." he said pulling her and himself up "It occurs to me I've never actually taken you out on a date why don't we go to dinner tonight, and I don't mean a chilli dog stand I mean a real 5 star place, 3 coarse meal?" Sally's face shone and that look was reward enough for Sonic. "You mean it?" " That's what boyfriend and girlfriend usually do isn't it?" Sally could barely contain her enthusiasm and delight that Sonic was being himself again. "Um… I'd love to go to dinner with you. Shall we say 8:30?" "Sounds good to me, see you latter Sal." He lightly kissed her and sped of for a run. Sally looked after him then turned and made her way back to the palace when she entered the queen saw her wistful expression and could tell her and Sonic were back together Well done Sally I knew you'd sort your priorities out.

Sally entered her room and started thinking about what to wear tonight she wanted to make their get back together date night one of the most special of their lives. Little did she know how special.
