Hai! Here's the beach party chapter!


"Hey, guys!" Amy waved, coming on the scene in her red bikini and matching flip flops.

Vector, Espio, and Charmy looked up first, smiling from where they stood at the DJ station; Vector was DJing at the party, and he already had a few songs playing. Each of them wore swim trunks; Vector in black, Espio in yellow, and black and yellow for Charmy.

"Amy!" Charmy zoomed over and hugged the older girl; Charmy, like Cream, was fourteen, but still had his bubbly personality.

Translation: He rarely-ever-acts his age.

"Good to see you," Espio said, hugging her also.

"Wassap, Rosy!" Vector gave Amy a high five and a side hug.

"Whaddap, Vec!" Amy said back.

Emerald Coast was crowded, but not so crowded that it was uncomfortable; most of them were the normal visitors, but there were others that were Rouge's friends as well, and they had been invited. Rouge even invited people she didn't know.

But hey, that was Rouge for you.

Others already present were Cream and Vanilla, Vanilla sitting under a umbrella and reading a flowering magazine; she was the 'adult supervision' of the party; Cream was wearing a bikini for the first time, which was halter strapped, and her hair was down and wavy. Maria was there too, in a light blue bikini; Blaze, wearing a dark purple and white bikini; Rouge, no surprise there, was also in a bikini, her top hot pink and her bottom black.

And much, much more.

But Amy was still waiting for the boys to arrive; her boys to arrive, one in particular.

Oh, I hope he didn't bail out...Amy thought in worry.

"Don't worry, Amy," Cream said, rubbing Amy's back as Blaze, Maria, and Rouge joined them. "They'll show up any-" She looked up before her mouth went slack.

"What're you-?" Amy started, she and the girls looking up as a futuristic car rolled in the parking lot. Coming out of the car were three hedgehogs, an echidna, and a two-tailed fox, already in their swimming trunks; the yellow fox wore white swim trunks with floral designs on them; the red echidna wore dark green swim trunks with a grassy design on them; the silvery white hedgehog wore pearly white swim trunks with bright blue edges and circular abstract designs on them; the darkest one wore black swim trunks with red on the outside and inside of the legs.

And Amy saved the blue one for last. His swim trunks were navy, almost black, with a white stripe and a lime green stripe below it wrapping around his waistline. She didn't care that all of them were built up the same, with the occasional differences; Sonic was clearly the best in her eyes.

"Hiya!" Tails waved, hopping down on the sand; all the guys wore some form of flip flops-or sandals. Whatever 'manly' word you want to use for it. "Sorry we're running a little late!"

"Someone had to go the bathroom!" Knuckles snapped, looking straight at Silver, who smiled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry?"

"Why didn't I take my motorcycle?" Shadow asked himself.

Sonic was frozen in place, having a dazed look in his eyes and a lopsided grin plastered across his face. "Yeah...what they said..."

He was looking at Amy. Right. At. Her.

The pink hedgehog was oblivious to his staring-or gawking. In fact, he doesn't think he's ever seen so much skin exposed to him before. He knew he was missing out on all those beach trips years before...

Knuckles elbowed Sonic, and the Blue Blur finally snapped out of it before his best female friend could notice.

"You came!" Amy squealed as they approached, throwing herself at Sonic and hugging him. Oh. Oh. All the female glory...

He hugged her back. "Wouldn't miss it for the world." He pulled back to look down at her beaming face. The two then noticed the similar activity around them; everyone was hugging. Blaze and Silver shared an embrace, and we all know that one: the girl best friend-guy best friend hug that can easy be mistaken for something more; Maria hugged Shadow, which he was late into responding to; Cream was still hugging a blushing Tails.

And to Sonic's shock, Rouge was hugging Knuckles; and Knuckles was hugging her back.

Oh he was gonna have fun with this one.

"That ocean is soooo calling my name!" Silver said. "C'mon, guys!"

"Whoo!" Blaze followed her best friend in the water, closely followed by Cream, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, and Charmy. Maria was pulling Shadow to the water, which he was trying to fight against, but she was winning.

"You coming?" Amy asked, giving Sonic her best puppy dog look.

Sonic sighed, then caught her by surprise, picking her up and slinging her up and over on his back; she quickly adjusted, arms around his neck and thighs hitched to his hips.

"Is this a yes?" Amy asked with growing excitement as Sonic began to tread in the water, despite his growing fear and anxiety.

Sonic just smiled.


Sonic was starting to enjoy himself. Amy remained by him while the others swam in deeper water. They played volleyball with an inflated blue, white, red, and yellow ball, goofed around, talked, and flirted with each other; if you counted flirting as in dunking the other person, or, in Sonic's case, swinging the other around until they got dizzy.

But he did get a face full of water, and Amy threw a fit of giggles.

And after that, a water fight started between the two, and they continuously splashed at each other. The others noticed this and joined in, the boys getting rather competitive.

"What you wanna do is stay calm," Amy was saying. They were out in a bit deeper water now, and she was teaching Sonic how to swim. "Panicking doesn't help any, especially when you're floating and-Sonic, are you even listening?!"

Sonic was visibly shaking and fidgeting. "Oh, huh? Yeah! I'm totally listening! It's not like I'm panicking right now! Who's panicking? I'm not panicking!"

Amy arched an eyebrow.

Sonic sighed. "I'm sorry, Ames. I was okay when we were by the shore-"

"We're not even waist-deep."

"So?!"

Amy giggled. "Sonic, do you trust me?"

He hung his head. "Yeah..."

"Okay, good," she smiled at him and he returned it half-heartedly. "Gimmie your hands." She held hers out.

He took them, his eyes never leaving hers as she retreated and he followed her without realizing that they were heading towards deeper water. The level was about at his chest when she stopped walking.

"You okay?" Amy asked him.

"...Sure?"

Amy smiled. "Well, that's better than nothing. Here, let's teach you how to float."

After managing to stay on his back and afloat for more than ten seconds without crying, they moved on to a few swim techniques.

Sonic especially liked the breaststroke for one reason, and one reason only.

"Am I even doing this right?" Sonic asked, arms moving awkwardly above the water.

Amy fought back from laughing at him. "No." She drifted behind him, and didn't see Sonic blush as her arms wrapped around his, maneuvering them in circles. "Like this. Okay?"

Sonic nodded, not meeting her eyes. "Got it."


"Looks like someone's letting loose some," Knuckles noted as he grabbed a soda from the cooler.

"What do you mean?" Sonic said as he grabbed two. Knuckles and Tails stared at him. "What? Amy likes strawberry."

As he walked away, his two best friends rolled their eyes and followed.

Amy, Cream, and Rouge were dancing by the dj area, and from the sounds of it, it was a Beyonce song.

"Here us go, Ames!" Sonic said over the music, and Amy smiled at him as she took the red beverage.

"Thanks, Sonniku!" she said back, taking a sip. Her hips continued to move to the beat simultaneously with Cream and Rouge. Sonic caught himself watching and looked away to drink his own soda.

All of his friends had crowded around to start dancing, except for Shadow of course, and the blue blur was awkwardly standing there and drinking his cold beverage. That was, until, Amy shimmied over to him and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the crowd so he could dance with her.

And he did. He danced with Amy. He danced with Knuckles and Tails, which had gotten a lot of attention; he danced with Silver and Blaze, Vector, Charmy, Silver and Blaze, and many more.

Coming around in a spin, he collided into nothing but pink.

"Whoa!" he chuckled, moving with Amy to the bass of the song that was playing.

"Having fun?" Amy giggled back at him, waving her arms.

"Best part ever!" He told her, looking out into the horizon. The sun was setting. Wow...it sure was a sight for sore eyes.

Like the girl he was dancing with.

"TOLD YOU SO!" Rouge called out to him with a smug smile.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" he called back.

As the sun disappeared beneath the seas, and the moon began to rise, people started leaving. Shadow teleported Maria home, Silver and Blaze drove home, and Vector, Espio, and Charmy left after packing up their dj stuff. Tails and Cream decided to fly home, Tails bringing Cream home first, and Knuckles even lingered before he left too.

Rouge wasn't as happy after that.

"Rouge should plan these kind of things more often," Amy said as Sonic followed her to Vanilla's car.

"Yeah," Sonic shoved his hands in his pockets, "but next time, I hope it's somewhere dry."

Amy giggled, opening the car door and tossing her stuff in the backseat. "Thanks for coming, Sonic." She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek.

Sonic smiled, muzzle going pink, covering his blunder as he said, "And thanks for helping me conquer my fear...somewhat."

Another giggle escaped her. "You're somewhat welcome."

Sonic laughed, holding out the passenger door for her. "See you later, Ames."

Amy hugged him, "Bye, Sonic!" She ducked her head, sliding inside the car; he closed the door behind her and waved as he watched her go.

Sonic touched the spot where she kissed him and smiled wide.

"Amy..." he sighed blissfully before turning around and running into the night, disappearing at the speed of light.


I just realized that last line rhymed :P

This chapter was a lot shorter and turned out in a different way than what I had in mind, but it's 12:04 a.m. in the morning, and I am so tireeeeed :) Trust me, the next chapter should be longer and better, focusing not only on Sonamy, but Taiream as well.

Reviews are more than welcome :)
