The small house shook and trembled as a bright light shone from inside. The house soon exploded in a big bang that could be heard in a very large radius.
Metal Sonic flew out of the smoking debris and screamed, "WOO HOO!!!"
(A little earlier…)
Sonic had been going on his daily run. He had not been expecting the big explosion he had heard coming from the forest, and fully expected an evil laugh of some villain but he only was surprised again when he heard a triumphant shout.
(Back to present time)
"It's Metal!" he said happily seeing Metal Sonic happily shouting above the small forest. "He looks different…no matter, Amy has been waiting so long! I should go tell her!" he said, zooming off at the speed of sound.
Amy sat on her couch in her house looking a bit depressed. Cream was trying numerous things to cheer her up while her chao sat on Amy's lap looking confused.
"I'm sure he will be here soon Amy." Said Cream.
"I know Cream, but what if he had a malfunction? Or what if he forgot about something and he failed to come back? I can't stand not knowing! Today is the day he is supposed to come back, and he hasn't!" she unhappily.
"He's coming I know it!" said the ever cheery Cream. "Just wait. I bet he'll be even better now!"
Amy smiled softly. "You know Cream…I don't really care about him being stronger. I just want him back here. We need each other to survive in this world. It's a wonder I got by three years."
Cream giggled and spread her arms wide. "Then you'll be overjoyed soon!"
Amy nodded slightly. "Yeah…"
The door banged open, and they turned to see Sonic with a grin on his face.
"Amy! You'll never guess what happened!" said Sonic.
"He's back?" asked Amy hopefully.
"Yeah, and he looks a bit different too. He just came out of the forest nearby!" said Sonic.
"Well what are we waiting for then? Let's go meet him!" exclaimed Amy, as she zoomed out the door faster than Sonic.
"I told you!" Cream shouted after her as a dazed Chao sat on his head on the floor.
Amy rushed in a pink blur toward the forest with obvious joy and happiness. Halfway there, she got tackled by a big blue blur that was laughing loudly.
"AMY!!! You're fine!" yelled Metal Sonic exuberantly.
"METAL!! You made it okay!" yelled Amy at the same time.
They rolled around in the grass for a long time laughing and playing happily until they stopped and Amy pinned Metal to the ground playfully.
"I got you." Said Amy happily.
Metal seemingly grinned back with the reply, "And I you."
Suddenly, a pair of blue, metal wings enclosed around Amy in a protective manner, as he hugged her.
"W…wow." Said Amy stunned. Metal looked almost the same as before, except a lot sturdier and with some box like compartments. He also had a rubbery skin like covering on his previously sharp clawed hands.
"Now we can be together." He murmured. "But this time…I will never leave you."
Amy sighed happily, and whispered in his ear, "I'm glad. I had a hard time without you."
Metal gave a look of concern and withdrew his wings back into their compartments and sat up. "What happened?"
She looked down and started fumbling with a tuff of grass. "I don't really want to say much, but I got depressed for a long time. I only had Cream to go to for fun and it got really lonely." She pulled back her glove and Metal Sonic's eyes widened at the scar on her wrist.
"You…I'm sorry." Said Metal Sonic unhappily. Unable to know what to say next, he gave a look that said "I'm sorry.", and wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't do that." he said finally.
"I won't." she said with her eyes closed.
They sat happily together for a while until they heard a small cheer from a familiar voice.
"CHAO!!!!!"
"Cheese!" said Cream, putting her hand over the chao's mouth. "They're having a moment!"
Amy laughed and Metal looked over to see Cream comically scolding Cheese about people and their romantic moments that you aren't supposed to interrupt.
"It's okay Cream. We probably should get inside before it get's dark anyways." Hollered Amy.
"Okay!" smiled Cream. Happy that her friend wasn't depressed anymore.
(A bit later.)
Amy led Metal into her home and said, "My home is your home! Welcome back!"
Metal squinted as if in pain and said softly, "Everything is still pink."
Amy snapped her fingers. "Oh yeah! And we were going to paint you pink too!"
Metal backed up a few steps and waved his arms. "Umm…Amy…you're probably tired, and it's late…and-"
"NONSENSE!" she said pulling a paint can out from the kitchen. "If you're going to live here, you should be pink too!"
Metal Sonic's eyes shut off and he stood still.
Amy looked at him oddly. "Metal?"
Suddenly, a robotic voice came out of Metal. "Committing suicidal attempt program activated."
Amy's eyes widened.
Metal's eyes suddenly came back on and said, "Just kidding. I can speak though my cpu too."
Amy sighed and lowered the paint can. "If you really don't want too…"
Metal Sonic shrugged and said, "If you want, I can be another color that you want."
Amy stood looking thoughtful for a moment, and suddenly brightened. "I got it!"
Metal looked at her inquiringly. "What is it?"
Amy laughed. "Guess!"
"Red?"
"Nope!"
"Black?"
"Nope!"
"Green?"
"Nope!"
"Purple?!?"
Amy grinned. "Nope, give up?"
Metal nodded. "Yup. What is it?"
"Magenta!"
"Amy…that's another shade of pink…" said Metal.
"I know! Isn't it great!" said Amy happily.
Metal pretended to faint.
Amy laughed and picked him up. "I'm just having fun with you. You can be any color you want, and I won't complain."
"Even rainbow?" said Metal.
"That would be odd, but yeah. Even rainbow." Said Amy.
They sat down on the couch and as Amy started to doze off, Metal laid her head gently on the arm of the couch, and turned off the lights. When he walked back, he laid down next to her, and unfurled his wings again, and shut down, protectively closing the wings around her.
So, yeah. I finally got it updated. I hope you guys aren't too mad at me, (If anyone even cares about this story anymore.) I apologize for the long time I took, but I got it. I hope you liked it!
