A/N One more chapter after this! Hold on!
False Feelings
Sonic lay in bed, worried. Not for anybody else, but himself. "Why am I worried? Tails has a new friend, so I should be happy for him!" he reasoned. "But still, I can't get this weird feeling out…I'd better sleep on it." But that wouldn't help, just hurt, as he would find out.
All of a sudden, Sonic opened his eyes. "Where am I?" was his first thought. He was in a big Victorian-style house, complete with outside pool, flat screen TV, and a second floor. Sonic finally got hold of his surroundings. "Whoa…nice place. I wonder who owns it?" His question was answered when he heard a familiar, yet deeper sounding voice. "Lily! Where are you?" Sonic was stunned. "Tails? Is that you?" Sure enough, an older, more mature-looking Tails stepped through the door leading to the kitchen, he guessed, because he got a glimpse of a refrigerator. Then he heard a familiar female voice. "Tails! I'm in the bedroom!" "Lily? What's she doing here?" That's when she appeared. She, like Tails, looked more mature, and she had slimmed down a bit, making herself look…more womanly, so to speak. She walked up to Tails, and calmly planted a small kiss on his lips. "Whoa…what'd she do that for?" Then he thought of something. He quickly looked at both of their ring fingers to see if it was true. It was. "Wow…they're married! Cool! But where am I?" Almost on cue, Tails spoke. "You know, it's nice without Sonic around," he said. "What! What do you mean, "Without me around? I'm right here!" Then he realized. "Wait a minute…this is a dream!" Sure enough, he walked right over and they didn't seem to notice. "Yes it is nice," Lily said, "but I wish he had looked both ways before running across the street. He didn't even see the bus." Sonic was confused. "What are you talking about? What street? What bus?" Tails nodded. "Yeah, I always said that speed would kill him one day." "Kill me? What's going on here?" That's when it sunk in. "Crossing the street…a bus…speed…No way! That means…I must be…" Then Lily said something that would shock him. "Well, at least he won't be a third wheel, now that he's dead. "What! A third wheel?" Then another shocking statement, only this time from Tails. "Yeah… now it's just you and me, and no pesky Sonic." "Pesky!? Why you little…" Then he realized something else. "Wait a minute… they're married and they love each other…so they don't need me. Now I get why they like me dead." This thought plagued him for a while, then all of a sudden, everything went out, and he found himself in his room, with Tails, his young self, beside him. He checked the clock. It was 3:50 in the morning.
"I'm glad that was a dream…" he thought,"…but what if it comes true? I can't let that happen…so there's only one thing to do. I have to stop them from seeing each other. But…I don't know where to start! I need someone active, so they won't take their time. I need someone persistent, so they won't give up easily. I need someone…who's a girl." He thought about what he just said. "Hmm…active, persistent, a girl… there's only one person I know with those qualities… and I don't like her, but I guess I have to ask her for help.

Later that day…
Sonic waited as she made up her mind. "Well, yes or no?" he asked. He was getting impatient. Yet she made no reply. She was facing away from him, to hide her expression. Finally she spoke. "Let me get this straight. You want me to stop Tails from seeing his girlfriend?"
"Yes."
"What will you give me in return?" She was playing hardball. "You want something? I thought you would do this for free!" She sighed. "Sonic, I may be your number-one fan, but that doesn't mean I would do something this long-term for free. I'll admit that I'm not above a little bribery." Sonic was stunned. Obviously, he didn't know as much about Amy as he thought. "Hmm…I'll go out with you." She turned around, very surprised. "Pardon me?" Sonic nodded. "Yes, you heard me. In exchange for stopping Tails for seeing Lily, I'll go out with you." At first, Amy thought that this would to good to be true, but then she got skeptical. "What's the catch?" Sonic shook his head. "No catches, no strings. Just stop them from seeing each other. Seeing as you're a girl, I think you know why." She nodded, but didn't say anything. Sonic stuck out his hand. "Do we have a deal?" She hesitated at first, but eventually took his hand. "Deal."

This chapter was really short, I know. But I swear, the next chapter will have to be long! I have to fit Sonic's second thoughts, Amy's attempts to fulfill her part of the bargain, and the big climax, which will take nearly a whole a page! It's that long! By the way, this will be my first and last 3 or more chapter fanfic. They suck up to much of my time, which I need to study for my final exam test.
You will still see some work, though.
