Ch7: Reunited

The sun had not awakened yet, for the stars had not yet blinked out yet and the moon was still raised. Amy's eyes were still open as she lay on her bed, her face tearstained as usual. Her arms spread out across the bed, as she knew it was very early in the morning…

Her plane would come at 6:00 a.m and it was only 3:00. She sighed as she looked at the clock that stood on her nightstand, desperately praying that time would pass. She was already dressed for the trip in dark clothes. She wore a gray shirt that was covered by a black sweatshirt and she wore jeans and black converse.

As she peeked through her window, she stared at the lit up streets and listened to the many car sirens that echoed through the city. She thought about where she was. What was she doing here in New York? A city that told her, that lied to her about her future.

"What I would give to go back in time," She thought to herself.

Amy got up from her bed, still sniffling from the long night of crying. She went under her bed and pulled out her bags for the trip and her guitar. It was a normal guitar, not the fancy ones teens had these days. It gave of wonderful sound as she ran a guitar pick through the strings and soothed herself to hear such a beautiful sound.

She started playing tunes quietly and sang to herself old love songs she learned as a young child. It made her remember the days when she was just a young freedom fighter running around with her piko piko hammer. Carelessly. With no problems with the world what so ever.

It was amazing how things were so simple back then. How she would run around with her many friends and run after her hero all day and after she would finally catch him, she would giggle and try to make her move on trying to get him to like her. Of course, the little blue hedgehog always ignored her. Her always thought of her as a bit of an annoyance.

She also remembered the days where her blue hero would always save her and when she always felt the speed that she experienced in his arms.

Amy looked at the clock as she tried to tear away from the many great memories that pained her so much. 4:00 already. She smiled as she packed up her guitar and got her bags. She quickly but quietly tip toed downstairs as she heard a sleeping but snoring Auron in his locked room. She stuck out her tongue at the door immaturely and quietly continued exiting her apartment.

When she finally got to the door, she felt like someone was watching her. She turned back but saw nothing behind her or following her. She shrugged to herself and exited the apartment.

Auron, who had awakened, watched as Amy left the apartment. He rolled his eyes as the foolish female left. His green eyes glowed in the dark like two evil snake eyes watching someone every move.

Amy found her car in the parking lot and put all her stuff in the back seat. She started the engine of her Hummer and drove off to the Airport.

When she got there, it was about 5:00 in the morning. Barely anyone was there and the Airport was deserted. Amy looked at the time every once and a while at her watch and yawned when she realized what the time was. She checked out her bags but kept her guitar with her.

"Plane to Mobias is now boarding" A lady on the intercom announced. Amy picked up her guitar case and walked to the lady who took up people's tickets. "Thank you miss! You'll be in first class! Enjoy your flight!" The lady said in a "puffy" way. Amy gave thanks and walked into the plane. Inside the plane were already seated passengers, most of them sleeping…

Amy walked to first class where it was completely empty and where Amy was alone. She sat down by herself by a window and waited for take off. As she did, she stared out the window dreaming and wondering… Dreaming of how the others would react to her arrival. She also wondered what they would think of her.

Dreaming and wondering was something Amy didn't do very often.

"We're now taking off," The pilot announced and the plane started up and began to move.

"Sonic? What's up?" Tails asked as he answered his door to Sonic. Sonic shrugged which was always his usual answer to such a question. "Nothin' much… You?" Sonic replied in a kind of dazed tone. Tails smiled at the question.

"Me, Cream, and Cosmo are getting ready for Amy's arrival!" He said joyfully. "We're also having breakfast. Wanna join?" Sonic shook his head. "Nah! I already had breakfast at home…" He lied, for he didn't feel hungry. "Oh, okay. Well anyways, Amy's plane is coming soon so do you want to pick her up at the Airport while me, Cream, and Cosmo get the party ready? Knuckles is supposed to be here but when I called him he said no one was home" Tails said. Sonic laughed at his friend and Tails laughed along as well.

When Sonic stopped laughing, he answered "Sure! I'll pick her up!" Tails smiled brightly and invited Sonic in. "Thanks! Her plane is going to land about in an hour. It took off about 3 hours ago… She left pretty early." Tails said and entered the room where Cosmo and Cream were decorating the living room.

"Cream? Can you hand me another balloon?" Cosmo asked politely while Cream nodded and got her another balloon for her to hang up. "Thank you!" Cosmo replied as she climbed back up the ladder with a balloon. It looked like she was having difficulty staying on balance. "Uhhh? Cosmo do you need any help?" Cream asked as she saw Cosmo wiggle on the ladder and trying to put up the balloon and tape it to the wall.

"I'm fine." Cosmo said but after a while soon fell. Tails saw and quickly jumped and caught Cosmo before she hit the ground. "Ow… Thanks Tails!" Cosmo said joyfully at her hero. "Ouch… No big!" Tails replied as he helped Cosmo up and himself up. "You're my hero!" Cosmo said cheerfully at Tails who was blushing as Cosmo walked off. Sonic saw and gave off the wolf whistle.

"So bro? I see you have a little crush on someone…" Sonic said jokingly. "Huh? Uh no! Not at all! Who- who are you talking about?" Tails asked nervously, still blushing. Sonic just rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Uhhh… You should go pick up Amy now!" Tails said pushing Sonic out of the door. "Sure… Well, see ya' lover boy!" Sonic laughed and sped out of the door.

Sonic had a pit in his stomach as he ran to the Airport. He felt so nervous about seeing Amy again after three WHOLE years. He also didn't know much about her as he used to. He was anxious to find out if she still loved him or not. He just had so many questions that needed answering…

He arrived at the Airport and made his way in. There were many people who were leaving and arriving at Mobias for the holidays. Decorations were already set such as Christmas trees and stuff that sparkled for the Christmas spirit. As he made his way to where Amy's plane was going to land, he tapped his toes and waited patiently but in pure agony.

Minutes passed by like hours as Sonic waited for the plane to arrive. He checked his watch but then he heard the sound of a plane landing. He looked out the window and there stood Amy's plane. "Passengers are now exiting the plane…" The counter woman said.

………………………………………………………………………

Amy took a deep breath as she got up to exit the plane. She picked up her guitar and swung it over her back like a bag. She exited the plane slowly as she entered the Mobian Airport. The Airport that she left right when she left for New York. She looked around for any sign of one of her old friends. It was kind of hard with all the people standing around and talking about their flight and how it was. Then she spotted him…

…………………………………………………………………………

Then he spotted her…

…………………………………………………………………………

Both hedgehogs were speechless as they stood about ten feet away from each other. Both out of words as they saw how handsome or beautiful he or she was. The first to smile was Amy who first started walking but then running up to Sonic with her guitar behind her back, already she was crying tears of pure joy. Without warning, Sonic was hugged. And on his face, he could feel not his own tears, but Amy's tears rub against his face.

"Long time, no see stranger!" Sonic said, finally smiling. He then started to hug her back.

"You've changed so much since I left…" Amy whispered, still crying silent tears of happiness. Sonic wrapped his arms around Amy's back in a friendly way.

"So have you…" He answered back with a soft smile.
