Time for Sonic to get back into action!

Living in Close Quarters

Sonic managed to finally drag Amy upstairs, away from Tails, who insisted on telling her many embarrassing stories. Including the one where he had thought the vaccum cord was a snake, wasn't his fault though. It was midnight and he had been half asleep when he had stepped on it. With a silent growl, the cobalt male led the other hedgehog into the guest bedroom.

"You can stay in here," Sonic said, Reluctantly letting go of her hand.

Amy did a small twirl as she took the room in. A smile formed on her muzzle,"Thanks again Sonic. I'm lucky to have a friend like you."

At the word friend, the speedster felt a small jab of pain in his chest but ignored the feeling, instead he gave her a forced grin. "I couldn't just leave you there. What sort of hero would just leave a girl with no place to stay."

"But you didn't have to offer me to stay here with you and Tails."

"Don't worry about that Ames." He interjected as he turned to exit the room,"Its the least I could do. Tomorrow we will go and grab some clothes and essentials from your apartment." Closing the door, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Aren't you acting strange today," a voice spoke, startling Sonic.

Emerald green eyes landed on the yellow fox standing infront of him. "Tails! You nearly gave me a stroke sneaking up on me!"

"Sonic I didn't sneak up on you. I am standing infront of you!" Tails pointed out as he crossed his arms across his chest. The young genius shook his head lightly,"Please try not to do anything that will damage my stuff or the house. I'm still paying for the house that you and Knuckles busted."

"Knuckles punched me through the wall! It wasn't my fault!" The male hedgehog retorted. Its not like he hit himself at the wall and made the hole in it. That was just plain crazy and only a pyscho would do that.

One of the kitsunes eyebrows lifted as he eyed his best friend closely. "Oh really?" He asked. Based on his tone of voice, Sonic knew that he was about to be reprimanded. "I specifically remember a blue hedgehog teasing an angry red echidna about his eye patch. Said echidna finally uppercutted afore mentioned hedgehog, thus causing the hole in my wall. It seems that a certain someone couldn't leave a hot head alone and bothered him until violence was used." Giving him a stern look, Miles shook his head in exasperation.

Sonic laid a hand gently on the foxes shoulder. "Ok, I'm sorry about that. I'll be sure to not purposefully anger anyone else...while indoors anyway."

Tails was unable to respond since there was a gust of wind and it was then he noticed that he was alone in the hallway. He may as well go and see how much money he had saved up, he had a feeling that it was going to be used for repairs. His roommate could be destructive at times and it didn't help that he tended to rile up individuals with short tempers. There was still a scorch mark on his wall from where Shadow had thrown a chaos spear at his blue rival.

The famous blue blur sat on the couch, safely downstairs. Back to thinking of ways win Amy back. Brainstorming wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. Now that his target was in the same house, he would have to be stealthier and use more cautioin. Amy Rose was not an idiot, she might put two and two together and figure out his little plan. That couldn't happen! She might become angry and then use him as a nail with her hammer.

Determined to win his Roses heart back, he ran out of the house, forgetting to shut the door again to his roommates annoyance. In a few minutes, Sonic the Hedgehog returned with a bouquet of white and pink oriental lillies. It was the one he had bought earlier but had dropped them in his haste to rescue Amy. Fortunately the flowers weren't damaged and still looked new. Feeling confident, the cobalt male made his way up the stairs and over to the pink hedgehogs room. Lightly rapping his knuckles against the wood, he waited for a moment before the door was opened.

To say that she was pleasantly suprised was an understatement. The males appearance was a big suprise but she was mostly suprised by what was in his hand. Before she could quesiton him, the flowers were extented to her. Smiling gratefully, she carefully took the flowers from him, examining the flowers. It was different from the usual flowers guys gave girls and she liked the idea. Not to mention the flowers were quite lovely and she liked that the lillies were white and pink.

"Oh Sonic,"Amys eyes were wide as she gazed at the bouquet,"I don't know what to say!"

Uneasily scratching the back of his head, he let out a small laugh. "I'm just glad you like them Ames. I bought them earlier but Egghead showing up sort of ruined my chance of giving them to you this morning." The usual cocky grin was replaced with a shy, genuine smile. Turning to leave, his body was spun around my a hand on his shoulder. The sensation of soft lips on his made his eyes open wide, staring at Amy as she softly kissed him. To his disappointment, she pulled away first and smiled at the look on his face. "I...uhh..umm.." Sonic began to stutter nervously as he tried to find words,"I...you...Bye!"

A soft giggle floated through the air as the blue blur darted down the stairs as fast as he could. Heart thumping loudly and wildly in his chest, Sonic wasn't sure what to do or think. He had just kissed Amy Rose and she had kissed him! Amy had kissed HIM! Giddy with excitement, the cobalt speedster did a little victory dance in the middle of the living room, feeling overly happy. In the kitchen doorway stood Tails who had a questioning look on his face but was promptly ignored. Miles Prower didn't mind and just smiled as he watched the others display of happiness.

Exhausted after all the bouncing around, that barely resembled dancing, the weary male plopped down on the couch. There was still a tingling sensation on his lips, the kiss replaying over and over agian in his head. The show of affection had completely thrown him off guard and it had been evident on his face, not to mention his face had been so red that he could of been mistaken for Knuckles. Also, the blue mobian had then stuttered like an idiot and then making a hasty retreat afterwards. Usually he was calm and collected but she had shattered his cool persona with one small kiss. Denying the attraction between them was not an option and Sonic knew it. There was no doubt in his mind, he had fallen for Amy and he had fallen hard!

Now a new problem had presented itself with the progress. Regaining all of her trust was still in progress but now he had to make sure not to lose the small bits of affection she had for him. It would be a good idea to keep doing small things for her, make her appreciate his soft side and show more of it. That was going to be a challenge but for Amy, he would do it in a heartbeat. Why would he go to all this trouble just to stop now? The dare devil wasn't famous for giving up when the going got tough! Sonic the Hedgehog was no quitter and he would keep fighting until the end. Determination was one of his best attributes. The complication was what he was going to do tomorrow? Giving her flowers had earned him some brownies points. What else did girls like? Perfume was out of the question, last time he had nearly been suffocated by too many strong flowery and fruity smells. Maybe he should visit the mall tomorrow and find her a nice gift, something to hopefully cheer her up since her place had been smashed into by another one of Eggmans creations. You know your life isn't normal when you can casually state that your friends home was destroyed by a robot. Sonics life was nowhere near normal and he doubted it ever would be, after all, he was the fastest thing alive! It might help if he took a hostage along with him so he wouldn't suffer alone, it also helped that he could have someone to use as a distraction if that annoying perfume guy tried to corner him. Yes! Tomorrow he would follow through with his idea and go to the mall. The remaining question was, who would he drag along on this little trip?

Willowpelt12:"Finally Sonic has managed to make some progress with Amy. The flowers were a good move and it was Sonics idea. Next chapter our loveable blue hedgehog goes to the mall! What will he buy and who will he choose to help him? Well you will just have to wait to find out for sure."
