[A/N - Wow, the final chapter. I admit, I had a lot of fun writing this up, even if I did have minor writer's block for a short time there. Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed and gave me confidence that I was doing a good job; hope you enjoy the finale!]
What You'd Never Suspect
Chapter Seven: Meant to be?
It was two days after the ice cream confession. Tails sat on a bench underneath a tree in the park, nervoudly waiting for Amy to arrive. It was their first date into their two-week dating trial, and while Tails was really looking foward to it, the butterflies were inside him as much as they were around him.
Amy walked into the park, shaking slightly. She had never thought that she might be nervous to be with Tails. I mean, he was so warm, so friendly... she really had nothing to be nervous about. Yet something inside her made her feel quite jittery.
Amy looked up, and saw Tails sitting on the bench up ahead. He was looking away from her. Immediately her knees fell weak and her chest was pounding. (What do I feel scared for? I can trust Tails...)
(...right?)
He looked her way, and she grabbed the nearest object to keep from falling over. Alarmed, he rushed over and helped her stand. "Amy, are you okay?" He asked with worry.
She nodded, standing up straight. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just overwhelmed by how nice you look."
Tails forced his cheeks not to turn pink, but they blushed anyway. Amy giggled. (I made him blush!)
"Um... shall we get going?" Tails asked, hoping to avoid any further embarrasment.
"Yes, let's." She slipped her hand into his and they broke into a gentle gait. After a while of walking, short discussions, and the occasional "Why is he/she looking at me like that?", the nervousness ceased and they really opened up to each other like never before, expressing a true friendship that ran deeper than either of them thought it ever would.
Weariness grew upon them, and they once again relocated to a bench underneath a large tree. They sat in a loud silence, each waiting for the other to speak. At the same time, they turned and spoke to each other.
"Tails, I..."
"Amy, I..."
Blushing, then giggles. "You first," Amy offered.
Tails' expression grew serious. "Amy... I've had something on my mind, and... well, I don't know how I should say this..."
"I think I know."
He turned to her, in slight surprise. How did she know? She gazed into his eyes for a moment, soaking in their brilliant blue hue. She leaned forward, and Tails thought she was going to say something. Insead, she tilted her head slightly at the last second and pressed her lips to his.
(My first kiss,) he thought. (Kissing? Me, kiss a girl? This is crazy! This is absurd! This is... this is actually kinda nice.) He carefully placed his arms around her and pressed back.
They pulled back and the eye gazing began again, as they studied each others' soul. Right there, Tails realized that his future relationship with Amy was one big mystery. Would it be good, would it be bad... he didn't know. He would have to wait.
But the waiting part made him feel uneasy. Would this crush turned maybe-I'm-in-love be worth it in the end? He could be with any girl in this world, and he's with Amy. Was it Fate? Some freaky happenening? Was it a dream?!
No. That kiss was more then enough to let him know that he was certainly in reality. The worry still remaind in him, and Amy's pure spirit picked it up with alarm. "Tails, is something wrong?"
Such a pure spirit.
"Hm?"
Suddenly it was all clear.
"No. Everything is perfect, Amy."
Too many weird events had taken place in order to bring Amy and Tails together. It had to be Fate. Or Destiny. He wasn't sure which. Either way, Tails thought -- no. He KNEW. He KNEW that while the future was unpredictable, for now, he KNEW that he and Amy were Meant to Be, no question about that.

Ah... not to be biased, but I liked that. And if you did too, then fear not! For I am planning a sequel of sorts for this... as soon as I can think of a decent idea. ^_^;
