QBH: I am rather have to make an apology for not writing anything the past 3 months of 2015.

Amy: The audience that seem to be that demanding since there wasn't a lot of reader traffic.

QBH: Maybe. Still I should admit that I am being lazy and I have a lot of games I haven't touched in months and that includes Sonic games. I am being honest that I am newbie fan based on 2 points: I never grew up with the series and I am more open to reputation that this series has become.

Sonic: Since when we have a bad reputation? I mean we are supposed to be a series of kid friendly platform games.

QBH: Let us just say that if with a long running series like yours, it is a miracle that your fans haven't self destructed yet. I am enjoying the series for what I see it.

Amy: Still are you still going to continue making this series? If any do you still think you can publish these chapters like the rate you had last year?

QBH: As for the chapters, I will post chapters still and I am not giving up on the story either though it may be not be as quick like a new chapter every month but it will continue. Well anyways, I present you guys this chapter! Enjoy!


Chapter: 23: Special Night


(8:30 pm)


In Amy's apartment or more accurately in her bedroom bathroom, Amy is trying to calm herself staring at a mirror since she is trying to comply with Shadow's conditions before he can answer Amy's own worried stance on this relationship. Amy couldn't decide whether she would be angry or worried since she still couldn't define Shadow either way.

"I really don't know whether I should hammer him in the face or even just be nervous." Amy still peeved

After cooling down, she just gave an exasperated sigh and said.

"Still … I really should get this over with. Whatever Shadow will throw at me, I should be ready to accept it whether I like it or not." Amy

Shadow is now sitting on Amy's bed, thinking about whether or not he may have gotten Amy's wrath or disgust. His thoughts were now dashed as he hears the bedroom bathroom door slowly open with a nervous and yet peeved pink hedgehog.

"I really am starting to think you are a pervert especially towards me." Amy fuming more yet embarrassed to face Shadow

"With the conditions I gave, I thought you wouldn't even go through with this." Shadow

Amy appeared wearing white frilly underwear which did make Shadow surprised and secretly aroused. Amy didn't notice and still called out Shadow.

"I would and as well reacted like you would expect but if it is just to answer 'my' question, I still am willing to do this." Amy still a little peeved

"Then sit here." Shadow acted professionally and did not look at her

Amy sat still upset and annoyed but sat complying but not making any sound and didn't face him either.

Silence descended between the two hedgehogs until Shadow confesses

"You … just wanted an answer, right?" Shadow

Amy did ease up a little and still embarrassed replied:

"Yes. I know it is very simple request but I am just worried of your reaction." Amy

"What makes you think like this is such a big deal? This isn't a matter of life and death." Shadow

"That is indeed true but could you be any more insensitive? Just answer my simple question. Is it that hard for someone like you?" Amy

Shadow did slowly face her and replied

"I am sorry. … You did comply with my conditions, so I should give you my honest answer." Shadow

Shadow had to make Amy look into him in the eye just to prove it. Amy is surprised that as she can sense no anger or annoyance from him. She may have eased a little and her feelings returned but she knew she still have to brace the inevitable.

"You said that my interactions with you lately are causing a problem?" Shadow

"Isn't it awkward that we are acquaintances before you stayed over and suddenly you and I are getting intimate with one another? I mean I still feel that I should not be even happy when it comes to love since Sonic and I never got together and I would think you would do the same." Amy

"I understand your worries and I maybe cold and insensitive before … and at times but since you have given me a chance to change, I came to respect you and I wish I continued to see you ever since I got myself straighten out." Shadow as he place his hand on Amy's chin

"Still we agreed to start fresh about ourselves and each other so what do you really think of me?" Amy now aroused

"You are a remarkable person. I do wonder why Sonic never return to your feelings and for the record, I am not him. You clearly understood that before, right?" Shadow

"You are right. Still I am sorry for not trusting you although I would like to ask about the conditions you wanted since I am not exactly happy about it." Amy blushing

"I should confess that ever since I have seen you in a rather better perspective, you are a very appealing and beautiful person. I do admit that I couldn't resist being a bit of a pervert towards you." Shadow smirked

"Still … this makes me uncomfortable displaying my body to you. I mean I got nothing special on me." Amy

"That doesn't matter to me since you have suitable qualities that no beauty can achieve. So … you don't mind me giving my feelings now?" Shadow

"Then give me a kiss and more to prove that you do have them for me." Amy softly asked

Shadow slowly leaned in to kiss her, at first slow which Amy responded by hugging him tightly letting their embrace be felt. Shadow then stopped being soft and proceeded a make out with his tongue. Amy responded by shivering in delight and making her embrace him even more tight. After a good 30 seconds of intimacy, the two stopped to catch their breath and afterwards, Amy at first smiled leading Shadow to smile as well. Amy then pushed Shadow towards her bed and promptly asked:

"Do you want to continue? I mean I am letting you do to prove that your feelings are more than being mere friends." Amy blushing as she pin him with her on top of him while talking in a soft inviting voice.

"No. I won't go any further. If you are submitting yourself completely then I wish you wouldn't. I can wait till it is time. It is too soon." Shadow

"Right, I tend to get carried away. It is very considerate of you. Will you be hugging me as we sleep?" Amy

"I do though I wouldn't end the night just yet since I am not through with you." Shadow

Shadow reached out and stroke Amy softly at her back and rear which made the latter blush yet expressed arousal. Amy didn't hide how good it felt.

"You really are such a devil. It feels nice to give you this chance." Amy

"All the more easy it is to like you. I'll make sure this feeling is worthwhile." Shadow smirked

Two didn't stop right and spend the rest of the night, getting intimate with each other.


Meanwhile at Sonic's place, Sonic and Blaze just finished their dinner and were being very quiet to the point it was awkward but before Sonic could talk to her sensing the silence Blaze left the room. Sonic didn't expect to be quick but he thought she would have left for her home dimension though he is completely wrong.

Blaze actually headed to Sonic's bathroom to freshen up. As she washed away the day's activities, her thoughts now resonate about what she will do but she isn't going to back down even now.

Sonic took the time to try and find Blaze since she just disappeared without saying a word on him and promptly search his home and a bit outside. After a quick look and run around the house, he was a bit disappointed though he hopes he can see her soon. Sonic despite the search actually heads up to his bedroom slowly. He happened to look at the clock … 9:30 pm. Sonic was surprised at the time and promptly takes off his shoes as he lies in his bed. As he reflects on the day and as well what transpired: the morning greeting, spending the entire day with in a slow pace with her, and now until evening.

The silence however is destroyed as his bathroom door slowly opened and a voice called out.

"Sonic … I hope you are not waiting for me too long." Blaze

Sonic is surprised to hear Blaze and as he sat back up at the end of his bed and couldn't utter a single word as he saw her just wrapped in a white towel.

"Blaze … I thought you would be heading back to your own dimension." Sonic

"I still have one thing I want to do." Blaze

Before Sonic could even make a reply, Blaze made her way to him as he sat. Blaze blushed as she tries to even look at him face to face.

"Sonic … You do love me, right?" Blaze still blushing

"Of course I do." Sonic calmly caress her cheek

"Still … I still have to explain myself about this." Blaze

"So … you really wanted to go through with this. I still thought that with you being formal and all, I didn't expect you to would even suggest this." Sonic as he tugs the towel loosely

"I just thought I have to prove myself though that isn't the case, right?" Blaze

"Do you still want to go through with this? I should at least be respectful but I will not show any restraint if you let me go ahead with this." Sonic

"I am letting go of my reservations. It just can't be help when your feelings are strong, right?" Blaze

"Then I don't have to hold back on you. I don't think that towel even suits your color." Sonic

Before Blaze could even respond, Sonic grinned as he tugged the towel cleanly off her. Blaze on impulse blushed as she tries to be fixated onto Sonic.

"You can be too unpredictable. That's why I am attracted to you." Blaze

"I feel the same way to you. Are you sure ready for this?" Sonic

"I trust you and I did push this though is this your first time?" Blaze

Sonic nodded which Blaze responded by pushing him into the bed as she pounced on him. Sonic is surprised by this as Blaze continued her moves on him. Sonic didn't budge a little as Blaze climbed on top of him. She blushed as she paused which Sonic finally had to say something.

"I never expected you to be so bold. What are you waiting for?" Sonic

"I know I already made up my mind but how would you like to start this?" Blaze

"Actually I want you to lead first; I am still trying to be a gentleman." Sonic

"Very noble of you although formalities are supposed to be out of window, sweetie." Blaze

Sonic was surprise that even she is crafty when pushed and gladly let Blaze clamber on top of him. Blaze didn't have to second guess and started slowly which Sonic followed at her pace making her feel at ease. Blaze didn't hide her pleasure as Sonic quicken his turn.

After one session of love-making, Sonic thought to stop but Blaze gave a satisfactory purr which surprises Sonic even more.

"You think that we are done? I don't think so. I am ready for another round. This feels good that one isn't enough for me." Blaze

"You keep surprising me, Blaze. I thought I should be gentle to you seeing that you do represent formality." Sonic

"Nothing is what it seems especially when you are doing this for the first time, sweetie." Blaze

"It's odd that you can be so passionate about this sort of thing. You certainly have so much appeal now more than ever." Sonic

"I find it funny the free spirited one act out of character. That makes you very likeable, I am glad you would feel the same way." Blaze

"So how did you feel about this?" Sonic

"I am actually relieved and ecstatic that you do like me. Can you be a dear and you just allow yourself for another round?" Blaze

Sonic actually grin like he would and softly continued to start striking Blaze's fur which aroused her as she gets ready for another round with her lover.

It was slow this time as they gaze at each other but the two felt it much better than the first. As the two catch their breath, Blaze finally had to courage to admit to Sonic before resorting to this.

"Sonic, I know this may not be appropriate or the correct time but I should tell you that …" Blaze

Sonic just gave a reaffirming smile as she finally says it.

"I love you, Sonic." Blaze

"I love you, Blaze." Sonic replied in kind

Sonic's smile and Blaze quietly cuddled towards him. As Sonic grabbed for the blanket to cover them, Blaze is already softly asleep near Sonic. He slowly covered her and himself with the blanket, smiling as she looked so cute and innocent despite how cold or aloof she was.

Sonic didn't feel sleepy yet as his thoughts at first were what transpired throughout the day between them. Even though he did meet up with Amy after their encounter and talk he is still worried that there is still things unsaid. Even though Blaze reassured him that everything will be fine and Sonic would have went with it, he still had to be a man and confront both Amy and Blaze to peacefully and hope this time they can be all good friends from this point on.


Back to Amy's apartment, after a few minutes of being rather close, Amy finally decided to finally get some sleep and tries to put some respectable sleep distance, Shadow didn't have it and rather invites her to sleep in a comfortable embrace as he puts himself hugging her as he too fell asleep.

The night continued slowly and yet calmly as so many had things to do or rather left indeed to focus on.


QBH: So I made this chapter some romantic screen time with Sonic and Blaze while I am considering to focus on the main couple next.

Sonic: You know that the reputation I have of not being interested with girls.

QBH: It is respectable and a staple in the games but this is my story and I am not ashamed of making it the way it is. Though do you really have a prefered girl?

Sonic: No! Never! I may run the world more often that settle a girl in my lifetime. You may never do that to me in my games and even you did I will participate in it no matter how much you make me.

QBH: Still I am respecting your decision but sometimes not everyone will just listen. Anyway I feel bad and embarrassed that I wrote this and not imagine it as I pictured the scene. It really makes think I should start looking for a girlfriend or get out more than play a video game.

Amy: So you are going to make me do that with Shadow? Please have some dignity cause I am still way too young to even do such mature acts.

QBH: That can be arranged though I will not disclose anything but it may come, it is just when left. I still have to make the plot going after all. Also thanks for those who do read this series, it still motivates me to continue where I left off. So that wraps up this chapter, see you guys soon for the next one!
