Otay, vacation over for me, so chapters won't be up as fast as they have been the past few days cause I'm gonna have a load of makeup work to do for school since my teachers didn't give it to me beforehand. Anyway, here's yet again another chapter. Sonic and All belong to Sega and Sonic team, blah blah blah. Here it goes.

Sonic opened his eyes as the sun started to crack through the branches on his eyes. He squeezed them together tightly for a few seconds before looking around at where he was. Just as last night, leaning against a tree near one of his favorite places to rest, the oasis, and . . . this somewhat surprised him. Amy was still there beside him, and she wasn't even tied to him with the rope! In fact, she was curled up under his arm, her arm tossed over his chest as she had been hugging him when she fell asleep. Sonic shadowed her face from the morning light so it wouldn't disturb her peaceful sleep, and it gave him a longer chance to look at her. She was still wearing the underclothes from her dress, which was piled beside them with his belt and shoes. Her midriff halter-top was clinging to her tightly, still slightly damp from the swimming, the skirt that was supposed to flare out at the bottom was snug around her thighs.

Wrapping his arm around her slim waist, careful not the wake her up, he pulled her tighter to him, resting his forehead against hers. She was so beautiful when she slept, so peaceful. Sonic was so glad that he had her, but there was a twig of guilt that seemed to grow. The fact that he had taken her from her home, from her family, was enough to make him homesick for her. When he had ran away from his family, he had fought off the homesickness, but it still had been hard for him to stay away. But he had willingly left, Amy had been forced. Sonic's ears drooped slightly. He didn't want her to be sad or upset, it was the last thing he would have wanted.

"Hm." She mumbled, stirring slightly before opening her eyes. She looked up at cyan hedgehog, smiling slightly, then sat up after realizing she had been hugging him slightly. His hand was still wrapped around her waist, but it was loose, allowing her to stretch. She arched her back, stretching her arms above her head. She peeked one eye open, looking over at Sonic who was leaning back against the tree, his arms folded behind his head, just enjoying the view.

Amy found his lazy, relaxed stare somewhat awkwardly comforting, so she quickly thought of a way to break it. She stood up and moved to his side, reaching down to check his shoulder. He sighed deeply, but let her check him out. He actually forgot that he had hurt himself, since he didn't feel any pain. He looked up abruptly when he heard her gasp in shock, and then looked down at his shoulder. Not a thing there. He had to admit it, he was surprised . . . that word didn't even cover how he felt.

"B-but—" she started, her hands covering her mouth, and then nothing. She nearly hit the ground with such force that it would probably crack the ground in two, but Sonic caught her before she landed. He pulled her onto his lap, cradling her like a child and just looked down at her. He honestly could say that he wasn't surprised by her reaction. Just the night before had his arm looked as if it had been ready to fall off from the intense looking infection, and now . . . there wasn't a single mark. His cyan fur wasn't even ruffled, or tainted. It was as if there had never been anything there.

Sonic had to check. Still cradling Amy in one arm, he peeked over his other shoulder, using his hand to part the fur on his shoulder blade. His father had wiped him when he had been ten years old, and there had been an ugly mark there ever since, gauged in his back. Fortunately, the fur had grown back around that area, hiding it from people's view. But it was gone. There was nothing there but smooth, tan skin beneath the blue fur, not a scar, not a scratch, not a freckle!

I looked down at Amy, his eyes wide as he waited for her to regain consciousness. It took a few minutes, but she finally came to, slightly disoriented though. Sonic had to explain the whole thing and show her the wounds again, only leading to her nearly fainting again.

"No-no-no! No more fainting!" Sonic said, catching Amy's arm and keeping her firm. Her eyes slightly started to droop, so Sonic did the only thing that he could think of the really shock her awake. He kissed her. Full out kissed her. Sonic wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her to him, and the other went behind her neck, to keep her head in place. His lips crushed down on hers, cutting off the protest and squeak that she had placed in her throat. She certainly didn't faint! She froze, not moving as Sonic prodded his tongue between her lips. He had to admit, he didn't need to continue, but he had been waiting for this for a few days now. He was going to enjoy it.

Amy's face flushed as Sonic's fingers wound into her quills, pulling her even closer to him. There wasn't any space between their bodies, Amy completely molded into his form. She wanted to try and resist, but—oh screw it! She wrapped her arms around his neck, standing on her toes and kissed back. Sonic's tongue had been searching freely around her mouth, but then she battled back, trying to wrestle hers into his mouth. She could feel him somewhat smirk as he fought back too. Amy grabbed onto his quills and tugged gently. She couldn't believe she hadn't done this earlier.

They finally parted for air, Sonic still holding her closely. Sonic wasn't all that out of breath, since he can run for four hours straight and not even pant. He moved to her neck and gently kissed there, his fangs grazing her fur. Amy wrapped her arms under his, hugging his shoulders.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?" he whispered into her neck. She giggled and started to kiss his neck, too, but then froze and tried to back out of his arms. He sighed. He should have known the moment wouldn't last. "What the problem now?" he asked, holding her arms so she couldn't move to far away.

"I-I can't d-do this. I'm engaged! I'm not supposed to be falling in love with someone else!" she said, and Sonic was having a hard time deciding if she was talking to him or herself.

"Oh c'mon Amy! Look at me!" he ordered sternly as she looked away, drawing her attention back to him. "Just and try and think about it, you've been spending the last few days trying to get back to your castle, where you would only be trapped back inside. Just think, you've been free all this time, and you're using it to get back to imprisonment." Sonic said. His words had obviously had an effect on her, since her eyes were wide with reason. He was right. She was finally free, it was what she wanted, to be free, and now she's been trying to get back to imprisonment with all her might. How stupid can someone get?

But Sonic wasn't done yet.

"And what is with you and this guy you're engaged too? Do you even know the guy, did you even want the marriage in the first place?" he waited for her to answer.

"H-he . . . no. My parents enforced the engagement, I know everything next to nothing about Shadow. But he seems to know a HELL of a lot about me." Amy said, sorta leaning forward into Sonic's chest.

"So if you returned back home, you would not only be imprisoned, but you'd also be forcefully married? If I were you, I'd be taking advantage of being kidnapped by me! Amy . . ." he said, quietly, cupping her face in his hands, making her look at him. "You . . . are . . . free!" he emphasize the words. Amy's eyes widened, he was completely right. She shouldn't be trying to get back to her hell of a life, she should be trying to get away from it. And better yet, with Sonic. She might have only known him for a few days, but she had to say that she was falling in love, she had to.

"Thank you, Sonic." She whispered, lunging forward and hugging him. He wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back slightly and nuzzling his face in her neck.

"No problem, Precious." Amy sighed as she heard him go back to the nickname, she hadn't even realized that he had actually been using her name. They stood there in silence for a few moments, holding each other in a caring embrace before Amy pulled away, holding Sonic by the arms as he did the same.

"Um . . . what now?" Amy asked, not entirely sure what they were supposed to do. Sonic smiled slyly but then it was replaced by an evil smirk. He grabbed both her wrists in one hand, wrapping an arm around her waist, tugging her against him and then held her arms around his neck. She flushed as their noses touched, Sonic smirking. "S-Sonic?"

He tugged her into his arms, sitting on the ground and resting her on his lap. He reached to their side and picked up pieces of Amy's attire. He wrapped the red corset around her, making sure the straps that hung loosely around her shoulders didn't get caught in the stitching he was starting to work on. The fact that he was so close to her breasts with his fingers made Amy's muzzle turn red. Seeing her doing so, Sonic planted small kisses on her muzzle, forehead and neck as he worked on getting her clothes back on. He almost laughed as he thought about how it should have been the opposite, him kissing her and taking her clothes off.

"What are we doing?" Amy asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Sonic tightened the last stitch on her corset and stood them both up, holding out the red skirt to her.

"Like I said, you're free. I'm going to help you enjoy it. We're going into town, there's been a festival going on for a while and I think today is the last day." He said, helping Amy step into the skirt and then pulling it up to her waist. He released the fabric only to wrap his arms around her waist and backwards hug her to him. He gently kissed her neck, making her giggle.

"Wait a second—I completely forgot!" Amy said, turning in Sonic arms and looked at his shoulder. It really was completely healed. "I-I still don't understand this."

"I think I know someone who might be able to help with that." He said, pulling her by the hand to the fallen tree they had rested against before swimming the other night, and picked up the brown hooded cloak. He tossed it around her shoulders, tying the small strings around her neck loosely and playfully tugged her hood all the way around her head. She lifted it up and pouted, but couldn't help but smirk.

"Unfortunately, you are the main attention in this kingdom as of now. I haven't exactly made my mark here yet, so you'll need to keep yourself on the down low. But I don't think we need to worry, I'm sure no one could even picture just how beautiful the princess is." Sonic said, winking at her before hauling her into his arms and sped off.

Sorry for the long wait guys, been really busy since I got back from my vacation, but I'll have more time to write now that volleyball season is over and I WILL NOT go out for the basketball team. I hate basketball, since you hardly get the ball and just get sweaty from running back and forth, which isn't good for someone with asthma. See ya next chappie and hopefully it will be coming sooner.
