A Little Bit of Love

Chapter 11: "Time to 'Fess Up!"

8:20 P.M.

Amy's house

Rouge stopped at the door.

"You all right?" Sonic said as he walked next to her.

Rouge looked at Sonic.

"I...have a confession..." Rouge said as she looked down. "What?" Sonic asked. "I...love Shadow...and..." Rouge stopped.

"Yeah...heh...I know the feeling..." Sonic answered back as he rubbed his nose.

"Really?"

"Yeah..."

"Who do you like?"

"Promise not to tell?

"I promise."

"Amy"

"Have you told her?"

"No..."

Rouge looked back up at him.

"Sonic...tell her...before she's gone..." Rouge said, trying not to cry. Sonic sighed.

"Okay...I'll try..." Sonic said as he shrugged. He opened the door.

Him and Rouge go in.

They see Amy near the punch bowl, which was on a table on the other side of the room.

Sonic took a deep breath as he approached her.

"Um...hey Amy...How's it goin'?" Sonic asked.

"SONIC!" Amy yelled as she hugged him. "I'm SOOO glad you could make it! Where have you been?" Amy asked.

Rouge came up behind Sonic. "Oh..." Amy said sadly as she started walking away.

She had assumed that Sonic was with Rouge.

"Amy...wait..." Sonic said as he bit his lip.

"What?" Amy asked as she walked back over to him.

Sonic got on one knee, and Amy's heart started pounding.

"One of our friends nearly died today...I still don't know if he'll be okay...Amy...I don't want to lose you...you're important to me...more important then it seems like...I'm not really good at this romance stuff...but... maybe you could teach me..." Sonic said as he stood back up. "I...love you, Amy..."

Amy started tearing up.

"I...I LOVE YOU TOO!" Amy shouted as she hugged him.

Everyone around the room started clapping.

"Merry Christmas, Amy..." Sonic said with a grin on his face. "Okay...you...can let me... go...like...now..." Sonic said. Amy stopped. "Thank you, Sonic...this is the best present I could ask for..." Amy said as she grabbed his hand.

Rouge walked out,

and the party continued.
