Chapter 9 : Taken All I Can Take
Amy opened her eyes slowly as she awoke from her slumber, After a few moments she looked over at Tails who was still sound asleep. Amy smiled as she observed the sleeping fox, She watched his chest slowly rise and fall as he breathed. She just lay there for a while, She loved the cute look he had on his face whilst he slept. She didn't understand why, But she knew she wanted to be closer to him again. She did her best not to wake him as she scooted over to him and laid her head down on his chest, She sighed contently as she closed her eyes and began to listen to his heartbeat.
'I hope he doesn't wake up too soon, I really like this. Its so peaceful, Just me and Tails, Just the two of us.'
Amy's eyes shot open as she continued to think about those words.
'Why do I enjoy this so much? For years I've been chasing Sonic around... Every time i was rejected by him it used to hurt so much... When he agreed to go out with me I was thrilled, And I really enjoyed our first date together. The feelings I've always had for Sonic are still there, I still love being around him. But this new feeling that I have when I'm around Tails... It feel so... wonderful... And yet it's completely different from the feelings I have for Sonic. Wait! Why am I comparing the two of them? Me and Tails are just really great friends, Just like we've always been. But we do seem to have grown a lot closer this week, I never realised how much he meant to me before all of this happened. But I got so worried about him when I lost touch with him at the start of the week, I was terrified that something bad had happened to him... Come to think of it... How much does he mean to me? How do I really feel about him?'
Amy decided to leave it for now, She could think about things later, Right now all she wanted to do was enjoy the time until Tails woke up. She brought her hand up to his stomach and began to run her fingers through the fluffy white fur.
It was about another half an hour before Tails woke up, He yawned and stretched his legs a little bit. Amy looked up at him and smiled, Although she was a little sad that the moment was coming to an end.
"Good morning Tails."
"Morning Amy, How long have you been awake for?"
"Not too long, Were you able to sleep after we went back to bed last night?"
Tails nodded.
"Yeah, Not too bad."
"We don't have to get up right now do we? This is really comfy, I can your heart beating."
Tails let out a little giggle.
"We'll stay here as long as you like Amy."
She moved up a little and kissed his cheek before resting her head on his shoulder, She held his hand as she closed her eyes once again. Tails' cheeks turned a little red, He put his free hand around Amy's back and held her close. They both started to fall asleep again when the phone started ringing, Tails sat up and picked up the phone, He spoke with a sleepy voice when he answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tails, Its me. I didn't wake you up did I?"
"Hi Sonic, Yeah you did wake me up but its ok."
"Alright buddy, Can I speak to Amy?"
"Yeah sure, Here she is."
Tails passed the phone to Amy, It was only after she said hello that they realised their mistake.
"Amy? What are you doing in Tails' room?"
"Erm.. I'm not, I'm in the sitting room."
"Tails told me I just woke him up! So how could he put you on the phone so fast if you're not in the same room as him?"
Amy looked at Tails with a worried expression as she tried to think of something to say, They both knew Sonic would get the wrong idea if he knew they had shared Tails' bed.
"Erm... Because Tails slept on the sofa last night and I was already awake and in the sitting room."
"Oh I see."
Amy winked at Tails and his face changed to a big smile, He couldn't believe Amy had actually managed to talk her way out of that.
"So what did you want to speak to me about?"
"Yeah, Listen. I wanted us to go out tonight."
"Sonic! I already told yo-"
"Wait Amy! I mean the three of us! I was thinking about what you said and I think it would be a great idea for the three of us to go out tonight, I really want to try and cheer Tails up a bit."
"Wow, Really?"
"Yeah, We can go for something to eat and then maybe see a movie."
"Alright then Sonic."
"Well I'll meet you guys in Station square at about four."
"Ok Sonic, See you then."
"Bye Amy"
Amy put the phone down and turned back to face Tails.
"Hey Sonic wants to take us out tonight."
"Us?"
"Yeah, He's worried that you might be feeling down so he wants the three of us to go out tonight. Come on, it'll be great fun."
"Yeah ok then."
Amy got up from the bed and started to put her clothes on.
"We've to meet Sonic in Station square at four, I'm gonna go get the train home right now and get ready. I'll get you at the station at half three ok?"
Tails smiled and nodded, Amy finished getting dressed and grabbed her bag.
"Hey when will i get those clothes back?"
"Hmm, I think I'll just keep them."
Amy started giggling as she walked out the room and out through the front door. Tails laughed a little as he climbed out of bed, It was then that he realised what he was in for.
'Sonic wants to take the two of us out tonight? Sonic and Amy are in love with each other, It will be just the same as me tagging along on one of their dates...'
Tails spoke to himself with a voice that was dripping with sarcasm.
"This is gonna be fun."
Later that day
Amy had just finished getting dressed to go out, She looked over at the clock on the wall.
'3:15, I've got to meet Tails at the station in a little while, I'd better hurry up.'
As she was leaving her apartment Amy took another look at the photo Tails had given her of the two of them together, She had placed it in a simple frame and hung It on the wall in her hallway. She smiled to herself as she left the apartment, Locking the door behind her. It was almost half past three when she got to the station, She spotted Tails leaving a train and quickly ran to meet him.
"Hey."
"Hi Amy, Wow you look great."
Amy blushed a little at Tails comment as they made their way down the steps outside the station.
"Thanks, Sonic called me a little while ago. He wants us to meet him at that burger shop on the main street at four."
"Ok, Come on."
Amy took hold of Tails' hand as they walked down the street, It surprised him a little but he just remained silently grateful. It wasn't too long before they arrived at the burger shop, Sonic was sitting in a booth at the back of the shop and called them over when they came in. Amy sat down next to Sonic and Tails sat across from them, The three of them chatted for a while before ordering their food which Sonic insisted on paying for. After they finished their food Amy hugged Sonic as she said thanks, Tails heart sank as he witnessed the moment between them. He was thankful that he could go home now, At least he didn't think Sonic had anything else planned.
"Hey guys, I booked us tickets for a movie tonight. We better make our way there just now, It starts soon."
The last thing Tails wanted to do was spend more time watching Sonic and Amy together, He almost laughed at the irony of the situation. Sonic was doing all this to cheer him up and yet he was doing the exact opposite, Tails sighed as he got out of his chair and followed them outside. They arrived at the movie theatre and joined the line to get in.
"Hey you two keep our space in the line, I'll go and get us some snacks. What do you want me to get you?"
Amy asked for a bag of popcorn and Tails just smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing for me thanks"
Sonic nodded and walked over to snack counter across the room, The guy behind the counter smiled as he served him.
"Making you tag along on their date are they?"
Sonic just looked at the guy with a puzzled expression
"Sorry?"
The guy continued speaking as he pointed over at Amy and Tails.
"You're friends, Aren't they just the cutest couple?"
Sonic's puzzled look changed to a frown.
"They aren't a couple, Their just good friends. And she's dating me!"
He took Sonic's money over the counter.
"Well that's not what it looks like."
Sonic looked over at the line to see Amy and Tails in each others arms, It surprised him a little but he looked back at the guy behind the counter.
"Their always like that with each other, Their just being friendly."
The guy held up his hands in defence as he handed Sonic his change.
"Being friendly? That's not how it looks to me. If I was you I'd keep an eye on those two."
Sonic snatched the bag from the counter and went back to join the line, When he seen Amy and Tails again he realised that the guy had a point. They looked just like a dating couple waiting in line to see a movie. Sonic shoved the thoughts out of his mind as he rejoined the line. A few minutes later they were in the theatre, Amy and sonic took seats next to each other but Tails sat a few seats down from them. This made Amy feel a little awkward but she kept her thoughts to herself. Tails pretended to be enjoying the film whenever Amy or Sonic looked over at him, But he had been paying it almost no attention. They movie was about half finished when he looked over at Amy and Sonic again, Sonic had his arm around Amy and she had her head on his shoulder. Tails suddenly felt really empty, He felt as if he was just some kid brother who had been reluctantly brought along on a date. Then Amy and Sonic began kissing, Something snapped inside Tails mind as he watched them. Tears began to run down his face as he finally realised how hopeless things were for him, Amy and Sonic continued kissing and didn't even notice when Tails got up out of his seat and left the theatre.
