A/N: I'm loving how far this story is coming along and I hope it can continue to entertain all you readers out there!^^ Thanks once again for the reviews, I appreciated each one.
Also, if you notice in the previous chapter of this story, that there were some missing words that should've been there. I don't know what's the problem, but it seems like has a problem with my document. The words I type out they just disappear when they should be there after submitting the document. Does anyone know why? Or how I can fix this without editing so many times. (I don't think I'm the only one who has this problem, though) So, if you do notice the same mistakes with this chapter as in the previous; I'll try to fix them if I notice them. lol
:) As always, I will answer some reviews in my notes.
To DanceDream:
*laughs* Well, I'm glad you feel that way after reading this chapter.:) I like to bring smiles to readers out there once in awhile.^^ (And maybe some tears. LOL Just kidding!)
Yea. I know. I was thinking that would be a big issue if Amy didn't know the place of the wedding; but I haven't seen it much in other Sonamy stories and I thought I would give it a try!^^ Aww. Thank you, I thought it was too.^^
:) I'm glad to hear that! Lol.
Oh yea,*giggles* but I think the "puppy eyes" would ONLY work for Sonic, in my opinion. But then again, I could be wrong. Lol.
Yea, I felt like that Sonic would be willing to help out and Tails of course wouldn't mind-as long as he doesn't mess the projects up or But, I can really picture him working for/with Tails for a while.:)
Omg! I love Sonic X. But, it's a shame that it seems like the show is based around mostly...Chris. -.-; I love it. The show in general, but in some ways it is annoying. Like in the third season when Sonic and friends battle the Meterex. (I don't won't to offend any Chris-fans out there, so don't take it to heart, please.) I think it's a bit...stupid that they make it seem like Sonic and friends NEED Chris. It annoys me. XD; (But I still watch the DVDs over and over.) I mean, c'mon, Sonic and friends can handle that stuff themselves, right?
And yes, you did make a good point about Rouge making Knuckles uncomfortable in Sonic X-I find that rather funny too.^^
I'm totally getting that game on Christmas! (Sonic Generations :P)
Oh, and I couldn't resist myself so I went on Youtube and watched some of the cutscenes; and when I saw Classic Tails...I squealed! XD He IS very adorable! No wonder the puppy-dog eyes worked on Sonic! LOL!
Thanks so much, again.^^
I am dedicating this chapter to two of my readers!^^ First, DanceDream; thank you for all of your helpful advice, support and for just reading my story!^^ Second, I want to dedicate this chapter to HBee16! First for your suggestion for the wedding to take place, then for your supporting and great reviews! Thank you so much!^^
Note: From now on, I may dedicate a chapter to some of my reviewers, so keep a look out...you may be one of them! ;)
ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 7: Never Lake
The fox should've known something was up. But the teenager didn't think just a call from his brother's soon-to-be wife, Amy was anything to worry about. Soon after he arrived at Amy's home along with Sonic joining him. They were suppose to get together in discuss the plans for the wedding; but that soon turned out to be false. But that wasn't the only reason Tails came; it was Cream's wonderful chocolate-chip cookies.
They were bribing him. He didn't know exactly how or even knew what they really wanted.
But as soon as Sonic got bored which was about 5 minutes into the wedding discussions, and just sitting there eating cookies while listening to the girls talk over with the guys what they already had in mind. He went out for a run just shortly after becoming uninterested. Leaving the teenage fox alone with the bubbly girls.
As soon as Sonic ran out of the apartment for a run, both girls looked at Tails and both gathered around him their eyes shimmering brightly with excitement and eagerness. Tails knew he was done for!
"Well?" Amy was the first to speak up, elbowing the fox."Did you find out anything?" Her smile was reaching from one ear to the other.
Cream was on the other side of Amy, leaning forward, looking over Amy's shoulder her chocolate eyes directly on the victim."Yea? Did he tell you? C'mon Tails, please tell us!" The slightly younger rabbit exclaims with excitement; on top of all the sugar-high she's on.
Tails looks longing at his half-eaten cookie in his grasp. He slowly turns his head to the two. At first, he plays dumb and asks. "Find out anything on what?" He asks innocently.
Amy sighs dramatically and leans back in the cushions on her couch. "Tails!" She exclaims, slightly angered that the fox may have never got the information they needed in the first place; or even tried."Don't you remember? We asked you to ask Sonic where the wedding will take place."
"Oh..." Tails bluntly says, taking a bite out of his cookie.
Cream looks at Amy then at Tails."Did he not tell you, either?"
Tails licks the side of his mouth where cookie crumbs were left from the wonderful treat that he just ate. He swallows down the crumbs."Well...um...sort of."
"What do you mean by "sort of"? " Both of the girls ask in unison.
"Yea, it's either or, Tails." Amy voices alone, while Cream nods.
Tails sighs. He knows he's not gonna get out of this situation very easily. 'Maybe I should just tell them that Sonic wants to keep it a surprise, maybe then they'll stop bothering me with these questions; and I can enjoy these cookies in peace!' But that thought is soon blown out of the window as he comes to the realization that woman - especially the ones next to him can get somewhat desperate on something as big as a wedding location. Therefore, he gives it a try. "He told me to keep it a secret." He avoids their gazes as he picks up a glass of milk that's on the coffee table next to the plate of cookies and takes a sip of the white substance.
The girls faces falls instantly. Cream leans farther back in the cushions behind her on the sofa crossing her arms over her chest with a frown. Amy huffs. "Doesn't he realize that we need to know where the location is so when we get the stuff delivered it will go to the rightful place?"
"Well...I don't think he's really worried about it, Amy. I think he has a-"
The poor fox was interrupted. "He should be, though! This is OUR wedding!" Amy exclaims her voice raising more with anger. "Besides, he was the one who volunteered to pick out the place for the wedding, and now time is running out!"
"...The wedding won't be until April, Amy. That's 4 more months from now!" Tails points in a softer tone than the pink hedgehog's tone.
Amy glares at him. "I know when our wedding is." She narrows her eyes dangerously at the fox, making him look away. "Okay," she breathes out; trying to cool down. "Although, I do find it sweet of Sonic to make it a surprise but... don't he think it's been long enough without me knowing?"
Tails answers softly still avoiding her gaze. "Maybe he'll tell you soon, Amy. Just give it time." Tails swore he heard something in Amy's kitchen but before he could point out the noise going on in the kitchen Amy speaks up again.
"You can't at least give us a hint, Tails?" Amy looks at Tails, her angry tone finally easing away; replaced with a pleading tone.
"Amy-" Tails stops.
Sonic stands just outside of the kitchen. He doesn't look very happy either.
The girls follow his gaze and looks up.
"Oh, Sonic! When did you get back?"
Tails eyes are wide. 'I hate when he just pops out of nowhere...' He watches Sonic enter the living room with the same unpleased expression. Did he overhear them?
Amy smiles warmly at him. "Have a good run, Sonic?"
Tails raises an eyebrow. 'Does she not notice something is up? He looks kind of...mad.'
The end of Sonic's mouth twitches. "It was fine, Ames." His emerald green eyes meet with Tails' aqua blue. "What were you three talking about?" His gaze falls on Amy again, a tiny smile forming.
"Um...talking about the wedding."
"Ah." Sonic nods and walks over to the coffee table, picks up a chocolate-chip cookie, then takes a bite before asking:"Can I talk to you for a moment, Amy?" Amy smiles widens.
"Sure, Sonic." She gets up and approaches, then Sonic leads her in the kitchen. After Sonic finishes his treat, Amy wraps her arms around his waist. "So, what did you want to talk about?" She presses her head against his chest, hearing the lively beating of his heart in his chest. She sighs then looks up to Sonic's handsome face.
Sonic frowns just slightly. "I want to ask you somethin' , Amy, and be honest with me, OK?"
Amy blinks in confusion from his expression and his whispering tone. "Of course, Sonic. Ask away."
"Don't you trust me?"
Amy pulls away gently from him, looking directly in his emerald eyes. "W-What?" She pauses."Of course I trust you!" She exclaims; a bit taken aback about this question.
Sonic sighs. "I just get the feeling you don't." He keeps his voice low then he folds his arms over his tan chest, looking deeply in Amy's jade eyes.
"Why...would you think that...?" She stammers just slightly.
For a moment, the two just stare into jade and emerald orbs both speechless. Until finally Sonic speaks up, shifting his weight. "I volunteered to pick the place where we will be having our wedding at, correct?; and I asked that you wait for a little while before I tell you where." Sonic unfolds his arms, runs his hands through his blue quills. "Us getting married means a lot to me...too, Ames." He says softly. "I wanted you to remember this day...you deserve that. I overheard you and Cream talking to Tails about where the wedding will be, Amy. Why couldn't you just wait? I really wanted this-" Amy's eyes feel with tears, causing Sonic to stop rambling. He frowns."Ames..." He pulls her closer, wipes her tears that are staining her cheeks.
Amy buries her face in Sonic's chest, wrapping her arms around his neck, then mumbles in his chest. "I-I'm...sorry...Sonic...I didn't know this meant so much to you."
Sonic chuckles a little."It's cool." Amy sniffs and lifts her head to look into his beautiful emerald green orbs. "And It does mean a lot to me." He presses his lips against her lightly then breaks the sweet and short kiss, and presses his forehead softly against her own. "I kind of figured you would act this way, though. I was a little surprised about you and Cream making Tails to be some secret spy of yours." Amy giggles and shoves him away, causing Sonic to grunt in surprise.
"Your impossible, you know that?"
"I know." Sonic smirks.
"But I love you, anyways!" She embraces him again in a bone-crushing embrace.
Sonic winces."Haha. I know. I know." He grits his teeth."Easy..." He chuckles.
"Oh...sorry." Amy pulls away. "I still have a habit of crushing your bones, it seems." Amy laughs a little, blushing slightly.
Sonic rubs his side after being released from the bone-crushing embrace. "Yup!"
Amy wakes up the next morning to the sound of something hitting her bedroom window. She groans sleepily, rubs her eyes and yanks the blankets off of her body. She gets out of the bed wearing a soft pink gown as another object hits her window. "Ugh! Who could this be at THIS hour?" She angrily curses the one outside, even if this person can't hear her. She unlocks the window then lifts it up. A rock flies past her shoulder and hits the lamp on her nightstand. Amy squeals in surprise.
"Haha! Oops!" A male voice can be heard from 3 floors below her own floor.
She looks down and see's Sonic with small pebbles in his palm. She blinks in surprise."Sonic?" She calls out."What...are you doing here?" She catches a sight of Sonic's famous grin spread across his muzzle.
"Get down here." He says simply.
She shivers as the chilly air brushes against her inch-thick fur. "Can I change into something warmer, first?" She hears a laugh.
"Sure. Don't take forever though. I want you to catch it rising."
'Huh? Catch what? What is he talking about?' She raises an eyebrow but doesn't question him further. "Fine. I'll be out in a moment, Sonic."
"Cool. I'll be out here."
Amy leaves the window open, then abandons the opened window and opens her wardrobe to look for something warm to wear. Her hand brushes against soft cotton fabric of different styles of clothing from casual clothing, nice dresses, and sleeping attire. She yawns as she pulls out a pair of blue-jeans and a red top with sleeves that ends at her elbows.
A voice calls out."Ames? How's it goin'?"
Amy smiles lightly at hearing the now slightly impatient tone from below.
"You didn't fall asleep on me, did ya'?" The voice is filled with mockery.
"No I didn't!" Amy calls out standing by her bed. "I'm getting ready." She slips her pink gown over her head then removes the hangers the top she has chosen with a pair of blue-jeans. She pulls the top over her head and when the top rests lightly against her body showing off her newly formed curves. She pulls on her blue jeans. She yawns again and stands in front of the 5-foot mirror in her room in the far corner. She twists and turns as she examines her outfit and a smile displays on her face, pleased with the appearance.
"Gosh, Ames. How long does it take you to get dressed?" A voice speaks up again.
"I'm almost done! Hold on to your quills!" She sternly yells out at the voice below her window.
A loud laugh can be heard from below.
She slips on some simple tennis shoes then quickly tightens the knot on the shoelaces. Then she walks over to the window, peeks her head out then looks below her while her long pink hair falls past her shoulders she grins at Sonic who looks up to her window. She sticks out her tongue playfully then before he can respond she slams the window shut, while laughing she quickly leaves her room then enters the hall and goes down the elevator to meet Sonic.
After she leaves the apartment's lobby she finds Sonic no longer at the exact place but leaning against the wall next to the entrance. She smiles warmly.
Sonic looks at her and looks her outfit over slowly, making Amy blush. "Nice outfit, Ames." He winks. "You ready?"
"Ready for what?"
Sonic laughs softly then scoops her up in the arms. "You'll see when we get there."
Amy wraps her arms around his neck softly. "Alright." She smiles softly, putting her questions aside.
A second later, they are off in a flash and Amy see's everything speeding past in a blur. She tightens her eyes as she feels slightly light-headed from the extreme speeds. She keeps her eyes closed and presses her head against Sonic's chest receiving the heavy patter of his heart pounding blood into his legs as he runs approximately 500 mph or more. Sonic looks down at the woman in his arms and smiles. "Ya' okay?" He asks.
She opens her eyes."Yea. I'm fine, Sonic. I'll get use to it eventually." A soft giggle escapes her.
"Okay." Sonic nods slightly then turns his attention to the path before him. Different colors of green, brown, blue all blur together. Amy gets a smell of wood, water, wet grass from the morning dew and when she looks up she see's the blurring sky and blurring tree limbs with beautiful green leafs attached to the limbs of each trees swaying. She knows now that they have entered a forest.
Minutes later, Sonic seems to catch big ground at the range of speed he is trying and Amy begins to wonders to herself how far they are now and where they are going. But she isn't one bit scared. She trusts the one that is caring her securely is taking her somewhere...wonderful. She looks up and see's Sonic's determined expression. His soft blue quills sways from the pressure of the winds blowing against them at the speed he is traveling. She smiles warmly and just stares at his handsome face while the world speeds by them.
An hour later, Amy notices Sonic has slowed down a lot and when she lifts her head she see's everything much clearer. Amy eyes grow wide when she realizes where they are.
Deerwood Forest!
This is where Amy Rose was raised as a child before meeting Sonic and living with him and the others at Knothole. She watches the trees pass by and by. Moments later, they enter the territory the Kingdom Of Mercia watches in awe as they rush pass the Palace where her cousin Rob O' Hedgehog along with his wife Mari-An lives.
A scent of water enters her nostrils and she looks forward, looking away from the disappearing land nearby the palace. She feels Sonic slow down even more. Her eyes grow wide when she see's Little Planet just beginning to show it's presence. Her heart pounds in her chest. As she looks upon the landscape forming before her eyes. "Never Lake..." She whispers in awe.
Fresh green grass surrounds the lake, and the fog that's slowly diminishing over the lake adds a beautiful touch to the scene before them. Large mountains, and small mountains resides nearby. The winds slowly become to a stop as she feels Sonic carefully brings his running to a rest, churning up a trail of dirt behind them.
Sonic grins at Amy's awe at the scene before them."Never Lake; where we first met."
"...How could I forget?" She says softly.
Sonic carefully sits Amy's on her feet. She almost falls but thanks to Sonic's fast reflexes he stops her from falling. "Easy there, Ames." He chuckles as he steady's her.
Amy finally recovers her strengh in her legs then she looks around the scene before her. "Sonic...this is so wonderful!" She finally exclaims with excitement. She gives him a tackle-hug and kisses his cheek over and over. "But, why?" She looks out at the lake behind her then looks back at Sonic.
"Well if you must know..." Sonic says in a playful tone while smirking.
"I get the idea this isn't something out-of-the blue; so what are you up to?" She asks him, very eager to know and her jade eyes shows that for a fact.
Sonic chuckles."Maybe it is." He grins then walks on ahead of Amy, with his head held up high.
"Maybe it is? Sonic! Just tell-"
Sonic smirks. Then in a blur he's gone. Amy groans a little, she quickly looks around the area for the hedgehog."Sonic!"
"Over here!" A familiar voice calls out.
She looks up and see's him on top of the peak of a small mountain nearby the lake. "Get down here and answer my question!"
He leaves the peak faster than a blink of an eye. "Aww. Your no fun." He says when he appears right in front of Amy, surprising her just slightly. "So...you really wanna know?" He grins, grabbing her hand before she stumbles back.
"Yes!" The girl answers.
"'Kay." A warm smile spreads across Sonic's muzzle. "This is the place I picked."
"...You picked for what?" Due to her tiredness from being waken up so early in the morning her mind isn't exactly clear on some things.
Sonic smacks his hand against his forehead and sighs.
"What? Should I know what you-" A index finger presses against her lips.
"Be quiet, woman." He says to her softly and Amy obeys. A wide smile spreads across his muzzle."Our wedding...will take place here, Ames."
Amy's eyes grow wide in surprise."H-Here...? R-Really?"
"Yep." Sonic chuckles at her stammering.
A moment or two Amy just stares at him with her eyes full of surprise and joy. Then Amy jumps at Sonic and they fall to the ground roughly knocking the breath out of Sonic. "OH SONIC! IT'S A PERFECT PLACE!" She squeals out in excitement. "I LOVE IT, SONIC!" She tears up with joy and crushes Sonic with tight embraces, she plants quick kisses on his cheek, and lingering kisses on his lips. Afterward, she ceases the bone-crushing hugs and says softly."Thank you...so much, Sonic! I love you!" She pecks him on the lips again.
TO BE CONTINUED...!
ShadowThROCKS- *laughs* I think this is my favorite chapter I wrote so far!:)
What do you guys think? I hope none of it was confusing...when Sonic & Amy were heading towards Never Lake. You see, some of this came from the Archie Comics and some from the game series. I just thought it was less confusing for me to write what was said about Never Lake and the whereabouts of Never Lake in the Archie Comics. I didn't know very much about Never Lake and the location of Never Lake, all I knew was Little Planet appears above Never Lake every few hours of each month. But thanks to Mobius Encyclopedia I got enough info that I thought I would need. Forgive me if any of this is confusing in any way.^^;
Lol Poor Tails, surrounded by desperate woman! I really enjoyed writing that part. ^-^
Well, looks like Sonic finally decided to show Amy where the wedding will be. Soon it won't be long before the wedding stuff will be delivered there and whatnot. What could happen next, I wonder?~ XP
I hoped each of you enjoyed this chapter and I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks for reading~!
