Chapter Twenty-Three: One Surprising Confession

Amy was running deep into the forest, but Sonic was also chasing after her. He finally caught up to her, and gently grabbed her. He was just curious to know why she ran off in such a hurry.

"Amy, please stop! What is this about?" Sonic asked. Amy was in tears.

"I'm sorry, Sonic! But I'm just so confused!" Amy shrieked.

"About what?" Sonic curiously asked.

"This confession! These feelings I have towards you! I feel attracted to you, but my heart already belongs to another!" Amy screamed.

"Another?!" Sonic asked in confusion.

"Yes, Sonic! And the sad part was, he never even told me what his name was!" Amy explained, in tears.

"Who?" Sonic asked.

"As a young girl, I met this boy. We started to like one another a lot. But he never told me his name. All he left was his initials on the tree, in my back yard." Amy sobbed.

"What were those initials?" Sonic curiously asked.

"His initials were S-L." Amy replied. Sonic was surprised.

"S-L?!" Sonic asked in surprise.

"Yes, why?" Amy asked.

"Funny enough, when I was a child, I remembered this girl I liked to. And we marked out initials on a tree. My initials are S-L, and hers was A-R." Sonic explained. Amy looked at him in surprise.

"What did she look like?!" Amy asked demandingly.

"From what I remember, she had pink fur like yours. And jade green eyes like yours. In fact, coming to think of it, she has the same initials as you." Sonic explained, as he stared right into Amy's eyes.

"And my childhood crush had blue fur like yours too. And those emerald green eyes. And he also has the same initials as you." Amy responded. Sonic moved his head towards Amy's face.

"Amy, I think I know what that girl's name is." Sonic thought.

"Well, what was her name?" Amy asked, curiously.

"I think her name was... Amelia Rose!" Sonic responded enthusiastically.

"Then, it is true!" Amy exclaimed.

"What is?!" Sonic curiously asked.

"That boy in my childhood, it was you! Because he was the son of Lord Loxley! Do you have any brothers?" Amy asked.

"Why? What does that have to do anything?" Sonic again curiously asked.

"Please tell me! Do you have brothers?" Amy demandingly asked.

"No! I do not. I am a lonely child. No brothers, no sisters, just me and my mother and father." Sonic replied.

"Then it is you! S-L, it makes sense! You're the son of Lord Loxley, and as you're a lonely child, I now know that boy was you, Sonic of Loxley!" Amy exclaimed. Sonic smiled in relief.

"Well, I guess we can say that we've found each other." Sonic stated.

"Yes, we have. And about bloody time!" Amy stated.

And then all of a sudden, she forced her lips on Sonic's. This surprised Sonic for that moment, but as the kiss continued, Sonic slowly closed his eyes, and sank into that deep passionate kiss. This was also their very first passionate kiss, it was more than what they expected it to be. They then broke the kiss, and embraced one another closely. Amy was in tears of joy.

"I've waited so long to see you again! I thought you've forgotten about me!" Amy sobbed. Even Sonic has emotional tears flowing from his eyes.

"Forget about you?! Now how on earth would I do that? I have also searched for you all my life! And I'm glad that I have, because I've lost my father, and I could not afford to lose you, if I haven't already." Sonic sobbed.

"I love you, Sonic of Loxley! I really do!" Amy told him honestly.

"And I love you too, Amelia Rose! Not a day has gone by where you have not left my mind." Sonic responded.

After that, they leaned in for another passionate kiss. They also embraced one another closely. They were both in emotionally happy tears, because their commitment to one another has never died since they were children. They broke the kiss again.

"You have a hut, don't you?" Amy asked Sonic.

"Yes, I do have a hut. Why do you ask?" Sonic curiously asked.

"Well, I've changed my mind. I'm not going home tonight, I think I'll spend the night here." Amy responded. Sonic smiled warmly.

"I would love that very much." Sonic replied.

After that, Sonic picked up Amy bridal style, and Amy giggled. And after that, Sonic walked back towards the camp. Sonic was not only making their way towards the camp, but he was also making their way towards their hut. Amy saw Tikal and Knuckles embracing.

"Tikal, change of plan! We're spending the night here!" Amy called out to her.

"Fine with me, dear!" Tikal responded, agreeing with her.

"Great seeing them together, now." Amy thought.

"And it's also great seeing Shadow being reunited with his wife." Sonic added.

"And also, it's wonderful that I have finally found you." Amy finished. Sonic brought his face closer to Amy's.

"I'm grateful for that too, my love." Sonic responded.

"I love you so much, Sonic!" Amy told him, passionately.

"I love you too, Amy." Sonic told her back, in the same tone.

And after that, they both share another passionate kiss. And they have also made it into the hut. Ray was also sitting around that area. And smiled for some unknown reason. He was very pleased about something.

"Even though I can not see it, I can very well feel, and hear it. Well done on finding her, Master Sonic." Ray stated.

So now everything seems perfect for some people. But the question now is, what does this mean for the archery contest? The two prizes were a golden arrow, and a kiss from Amy. But by the situation here, Sonic looks as if he's already stolen one of those prizes.
