What You'd Never Suspect
Chapter Four: Preparations



Suit jacket.

Bow Tie.

Nice hat.

Tails gave himself one last quick look in the mirror, and decided he wasn't going to look any sharper than he already did. He spun around and did some poses. "Fox-boy, you are SIZZLIN'! ...yeah, whatever. A lot of good it'll do me if my flame doesn't take notice of me." He sighed and adjusted his chauffeur hat. "It's now or never, Miles. Let's just get the night over with."

He picked up the phone and dialed Sonic's number to let him know he was on his way. 2 rings, 3 rings, 4 rings... then the machine picked up. Tails set the receiver back down, not really wanting to listen to the message. "I guess he's already at Amy's... I wonder how he's doing...."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sonic stood outside Amy's apartment door and ran a hand through his quills. Man, how he was dreading this. He dressed up a bit, wearing some nice black pants and a short-sleeved sweater. He sloooooowly reached for the doorbell. "Man, I can only hope that Tails hurries up..."

The doorbell didn't even fnish ringing before the door was opened and Amy stood in the doorway. She was dressed in a sleeveless pink satin dress that hung down to her knees, with pink boots to match. She stuck a little pose for Sonic, and even the skeptic hedgehog couldn't help but admit that she looked nice. Cute nice, not hot nice, but still nice.

"Hi Sonic. How do I look?"

"...Nice."

Tiny tears welled up in Amy's eyes. "Oh, you mean it, Sonic? You really think I look nice?" Without waiting for him to answer, she threw her arms around his shoulders. "Oh I'm so happy!"

"...th-that's nice..." He answered weakly, gasping for air. "A-amy... can you let me... go...?"

"Huh? OH! Sorry, Sonic..." she giggled as he stumbled around the hallway. "So, when do we go?"

"Whenever Tails arrives."

"What? Why Tails?"

"Because he's going to be drive us places."

"Oh, alright..." Tails? Why did she suddenly feel... awkward? Maybe it was the anticipation of being in a car with two good-looking guys. (Sonic is the number one hottie, but Tails is cute, too....)

Sonic took note of her expression. "That's not a problem, is it?"

"Huh" Amy snapped out of her trance. "Oh, no! Not at all!"

[HOOOONK HOOOONK!!]

"That's our ride, then." Sonic grinned, relieved. "Let's go!"

Amy grinned in return and grabbed his hand. "Oh yes. Let's."

God, this was INCREDIBLY short. I promise that the next chappie will be longer. I'm trying to do this so I upload one chapter per day, and I'm writing this ahead of time, so I might be nice one day and upload two chaps instead of one. Or not. Next chap: "Dinner, a movie..." Chapter 6 will be "...and Dessert". And don't worry; we'll get to the Tails/Amy stuff soon; I just don't want to rush into the pairing and forget about the plot. -_- That would be bad...
