Next Morning

Amy Rose's Apartment.

The early morning light shed its warm glow through windows and skylights throughout the entire town, its promise of a new day and new beginnings slowly made its also made its way into the hearts of the citizens throughout Station Square. One citizen in particular, Miss Amy Rose, whose heart didn't need the warming light but welcomed it just the same.

Last night had been a dream for Amy; she had spent the night just cuddled in the arms of her hero and love Sonic. It had almost seemed magical, like it truly was a dream but Sonic still slept on her couch and Amy could almost still feel his warmth around her.

Amy had woken up but five minutes ago, she had almost forgotten where she was and what had happened and nearly punched Sonic square in the nose as she stretched like she always did when she awoke. She giggled as she turned the stove on to make Sonic his breakfast, She knew Sonic wasn't much of a morning person and surely wouldn't have wanted to be socked in the face as a wake up call.

Last night…Amy began to recall it in perfect detail, she had made Sonic promise to watch romance movies with her and surprisingly he has agreed. Of course he had fallen asleep almost as soon as the movie came on but that didn't bother Amy to much, she was just glad to be sitting there with him. The movie had been so sad, The hero and heroine had fought side by side to save the world but alas, in the end the heroine had fallen in combat by her loves side. She had desperately loved the hero but he had not so much as returned her glances. The ending had shocked Amy who immediately felt a terrible feeling that something like that would happen to her.

"But my Sonikku comforted me, he didn't complain that I was crying or anything he just held me till I stopped…" Amy couldn't help but smile, His embrace had done more then he thought. It had relived her fears and had shown her that he did care for her. She knew that Sonic wouldn't give up easily, he had a reason for not returning her love but she knew that if she battled on she would eventually win his love.

Amy stopped rolling flour to make biscuits for a second. What reason could Sonic have…it puzzled Amy as she could find no answer on her own accord. She shook her head as she continued to make both of their breakfasts, whatever reason he had she resolved she would find out somehow.

Another Part of the City

.……Location of Subject Amy Roses apartment found…severing uplink to EggSat…checking battery back up time- 15 hours 39 minutes and 9 seconds…Mission of locating Friend Amy Rose critical…

Ponderously a large metallic object walked down a small alleyway, it was covered in sand and dust and looked quite a fearsome sight with its eyes glowing in the still dark alleyways. It seemed to move with a purpose if robots could do such a thing.

4.9 miles until arrival at Amy Roses apartment…Initializing hedgehog scanner……Warning, Subject Amy Rose in presence of Hostile…Increasing speed…Initiating protocol Protect Amy Rose from hostile hedgehog, defend at all costs…

The hulking robot eyes suddenly flashed as it started to increase its speed, it knocked over garbage cans and anything else that entered its path. Its right arm raised, a fearsome gun like object looking ready and primed. If one was to be foolish enough to get close enough, they would be able to infer that the robot was almost angered or worried about something.

Illogical decision, not enough power for effective combat…checking newly created emotional matrix for possible reason……………Amy Rose is classified as friend…prevented Hostile known as Sonic from destroying this unit…must protect friends no matter cost……

Still illogical…however…No other reason can be given…New Mission objective created, Protect Amy Rose from any and all harm…use recently created protocol to ensure mission objective success.

Clearing the alleyway the robot burst into the street, its wheels down and already hitting the pavement. Startled bystanders would later report of a robot looking of Doctor Eggmans design with a object hovering beside it matched the same robot that had been reported years earlier during the Chaos Crises.

E-102 Gamma's processors whirled away as it conflicted with the newly created emotional matrix that had been created while in contact with Amy, The main power source had down an unthinkable thing and overridden all protocols and fail safes. After the main power source had left, Gamma had begun terminal self repair procedures, however Gamma had unknowingly kept the emotions that the main power source and Amy had created.

"Amy Rose…Classified Friendly…In Danger, Objective will be accomplished" Gamma monotone voice rang out, startling those who had just began to regain their wits from seeing it burst from a dark alleyway. Gamma without wasting another second begin to sped it's way towards Amy Roses apartment. Gamma had know way of knowing that soon the troublesome emotions that it had started to feel would soon become a part of its everyday life.

Amy Roses Apartment

45 minutes later…

"Oh Sonikku! Your breakfast is ready." Amy called out from the kitchen, She knew he was still there and she was hoping he was still asleep, she wanted to wake him up like last time.

With a giggle Amy crept up to the couch like a predator stalking her prey, she couldn't help but smile at that thought. Quietly she stalked closer and closer to the couch, she licked the dryness form her lips she was ready to strike. Amy was just about to leap over the couch and pounce on her beloved when a pair of hands grabbed her from behind and covered her eyes.

A familiar chuckle cut through her yell of surprise, causing her to laugh as well. "Sonikku how could you do that to me, after I cooked you breakfast too". Amy reached up and removed his hands from around her eyes.

Sonic only smirked as he crossed his arms. "Well how could you try to sneak up on me like you did last time" He laughed at Amy's hurt and innocent expression. "Maybe that'll teach you that you can't surprise the worlds fastest and coolest hedgehog"

Amy rolled her eyes as she walked back into the kitchen, "Look, like I said Mr. Hot-Shot, your breakfast is ready."

Sonic looked surprised as he also entered kitchen to see a fully loaded table with breakfast for two. "Hey Ames you know you didn't have to make me anything"

Amy only pulled out Sonics chair for him and motioned for him to sit down. " Can't I make my favorite hero in the whole wide world a little food before he departs in the morning?" Amy stated once again with her sweetest most innocent voice.

Knowing better the to refuse and not being crazy enough to pass up one of Amy's meals Sonic sat down and began to dig in. Amy was smiling softy as she sat down opposite of Sonic and watched him eat. He took no notice of her attentions as he continued to stuff himself, once again Amy's cooking was far to good to ignore even for a second.

Unfortunately Sonic as usually sometimes moved to fast for his own good and in the process of eating another jelly filled biscuit managed to get a large smear of jelly all over his face. This of course caused Amy to began to laugh, Sonic had smeared the jelly in such away that he looked as though he had mustache and since it was strawberry he slightly resembled a certain mad doctor.

As Amy tried her best to keep from falling out her chair and rolling on the floor, Sonic looked at her puzzled. Thinking that Amy had lost her mind or something he reached for another biscuit when his reflection caught his eye in a spoon that had been laying there.

Sonic raised an eyebrow as he realized just what Amy was laughing about. "Hey its not that funny Amy" . Sonic cleared his throat and prepared to see if she would get herself back under control.

"Oh please spare me Mr. Robotnik!…please oh where is my Sonikku when I need him" Amy tried her best to act like the damsel in distress in all those books she had read.

"Look Amy if you're going to keep that up, I'm just going to leave" Sonic stated as a matter of fact, he didn't care to be laughed at by anyone for any reason.

Amy looked grief stricken as Sonic continued to frown at her. however it was inventible that both Sonic and Amy couldn't hold it in any longer and both began to laugh, Amy was the first to stop laughing. The time she had spent with Sonic so far had been the longest ever, she was sad that soon their time together would end and that Sonic would probably starting running again.

Still, she knew that she had a chance and that Sonic did indeed have feelings for her. As she handed him a napkin to wipe his face off with she couldn't help but smile. Sonic seeing her smile only smirked back as he cleaned his face off.

"Well Ames it's been…surprisingly a lot of fun…But I've got to get going, So hey thanks for all the food" Sonic gave her a thumbs up as he started to head for her apartment door.

"Wait Sonic!" Amy got up and began to follow him "Can I at least walk with you back down to the street?

Sonic only rolled his eyes. "I think I'm old enough to get down the stairs mother…but if it makes you feel better then sure"

Amy smiled as she walked with Sonic down the stairwell down to the street. She decided to keep the conversation as light as possible. Even though she knew that Sonic had feelings for her it still didn't explain why he always ran or why he would run from her again. The question for some reason nagged her even more now that she knew she had a chance at Sonics heart.

Sonic had just finished telling a joke just as they both walked out of the apartment door and into the fresh morning light. Amy laughed even though she barely heard what he was saying, she knew she had to ask him sooner or later and right now it was bothering her so much that she couldn't think of anything else.

"Sonic?" Amy said in a gentle and slightly timed voice that she hadn't used since she had first meet the speedster so many years ago.

"What Ames?" Sonic stopped and turned around only to gasp for air as Amy latched onto him with one of her patented death grips.

"Sonic why can't you tell me why you always ran away every time I just wanted to spend time with you!?" Amy grasped onto Sonic even harder then normally, she was determined to get an answer to her question no matter what.

Sonic's mind raced almost as fast as his feet could go. Amy wanted to know the honest to god truth of way he always avoided her, of why he couldn't' express how he felt. He had solved one of his fears by staying the night with her. He had worried he wouldn't know how to or would be to scared to show his true feelings towards her without running or being rude.

However all the fun he had with her last night as well as the feelings he got from just holding her had convinced him that he could show his feelings without worry. He figured at least he could tell her the other reason why, that might be able to convince her that he did like her no love her so much that he wasn't willing to put her at any more risk then she already was.

"Amy…I don't want you at any risk. What do you think Eggman would do if he knew you were my…my…"Sonic took a breath before saying the words that he thought he wouldn't say for a long time. "My Girlfriend…he would make you his number one target, you could get hurt or even killed!"

Amy was about to protest saying that she could take care of herself when Sonic stopped fighting her and instead held her. Amy let go of her death grip and put her head down on his shoulder, she could understand his reasons now, she no longer felt angry or sad when she thought back to all those times she had to chase him down.

"Sonic…I understand but…" Amy never finished her sentence, a large sound emanated from the alleyway next to her apartment. Both Sonic and Amy turned to face the alley and whatever was about to show itself.

A large object loomed from the shadows of the alleyway a pair of glowing eyes and a red beam that shot out from the alleyway could be clearly seen. Amy gasped as she traced the red beam to where it was pointed, Sonic only had to glance at Amy to know that the beam ended square between his eyes.

"Warning…Hostile known as Sonic the Hedgehog is warned to step away from friend Amy Rose, you have ten seconds in which to comply" Stated the now more clearly seen robot from the alleyway.

"Heh I knew Eggman wouldn't lay low for long…well whatever bot you are, your not as fast as yours truly!" Sonic narrowed his eyes as he prepared himself to trash the mechanical minion of Eggman.

The robot stepped out from the shadows at the sound of Sonic's voice, the large bot looked as though it had been painted orange but the paint looked worn, like the rest of its body the robot looked as though it had been sitting in a scrap yard for a few years. However the large laser blaster on its right arm looked to be in perfect working order, as well as it's targeting sensors because the red beam never left the space between Sonics eyes.

Sonic smirked as he prepared himself to bum rush the bot who thought it was fast enough to shoot the worlds fastest being alive. However just as he was about to spin dash and tear up the bothersome bot, Amy stepped between the two of them with her arms spread wide.

"Amy what the hell are you doing!?" Sonic said irritably, "This thing was going to try to kill me, why are you getting in my way?"

Amy who had her back turned to Sonic ignored him as she stared up into the robots unblinking eyes. The bot seemed to stare back at her though it's laser blaster never left Sonics direction. Sonic of course tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for whatever Amy was going to do, the bot didn't seem to have any intention of harm Amy, just him.

"Are you the same robot that rescued me from the Egg Carrier a few years ago?" Amy felt as though this robot was the same as the one that had let her out of her cell in the Egg Carrier years ago.

"Affirmative…this unit was nearly destroyed in a battle with the last of the E-series bots…Mission objective one was to find Amy Rose…only registered friendly…" The robot spoke in its monotone voice, it still had its laser blaster aimed at a now confused Sonic. "the Hostile known as Sonic attempted to harm you…"

Before Sonic could voice any protest Amy spoke up. "Mr. Robot could you please not hurt Sonic…he wasn't trying to hurt me or anything as a matter of fact he's my friend"

A tense moment passed before the robot lowered it's laser blaster from Sonic's head. "…Sonic no longer registered as hostile…Amy Rose now registered as new owner of E-102 Gamma"

Both Sonic and Amy blinked as what Gamma just said sunk in. "Wait Gamma…why did you just make Amy your….uhh owner?" Sonic asked confused.

"Only the owner of this unit may give it commands…Amy Rose is the only friend that this unit has…thus she has been registered as the new owner." Gamma stated once again in its monotone voice. "…This unit has been developing an emotional matrix ever since its near destruction aboard the Egg Carrier by Sonic, destruction was averted by Owner Amy Rose…"

Amy remembered how she had stopped Sonic from destroying Gamma just before Sonic went off to fight Chaos and Eggman, she had thought she would see the robot again but it had been so many years since that all took place she had forgotten about him. "Ok Gamma…I'll be your owner, it looks like you need someone to help you with that…emotional matrix thingy…and who better then me…but you better stop calling me owner. I'm just sweet and cute Amy Rose"

Gamma took another moment to process everything before saluting Amy "Aye Aye Amy…This unit will now follow all order given by and only by Amy Rose"

Amy rolled her eyes. "You'll have to stop that…your Gamma not this unit…Don't you agree that sound much better Sonikku?"

"Yeah, yeah, just keep that rust bucket away from me" Sonic said crossly, he didn't like anything that Eggman made, it could always be another trap. "Or I'll…."

Amy was about to ask just what Sonic planned to do to her friend when she heard something hit the ground hard. She turned quickly and gasped as she saw Sonic laying face down on the pavement, a large dart sticking out of his back. She ran to him and grabbed the dart and took it out of his back.

"Oh god Sonic speak to me!" Amy was beginning to panic, Sonic wouldn't move at all and he didn't seem to be breathing.

Amy flipped Sonic over on his back and put her ear to his chest, she couldn't hear his heartbeat and he wasn't breathing for sure. Amy was just about to begin to try mouth to mouth when she heard what could only be described as an electronic snicker. She turned to yell at Gamma, thinking that he was the one who had down this but when she looked up from Sonic she saw something from her past, Something that frightened her greatly.

"Don't bother trying to revive that worthless fool…he's dead…thanks to Master Eggmans new fast acting poison…" Metal Sonic stood towering above the now shocked Amy Rose who tried to understand what Metal had just said.

"No…no its not true…He's still alive!" Amy prayed fervently as she checked Sonic for a pulse once again, she began to cry when she couldn't find one.

"He…he can't be dead……Sonic no…your still alive…Sonic please don't die…I love you!" Amy's thoughts and emotions whirled in her head like a hurricane, she couldn't, no wouldn't believe that Sonic was dead, he couldn't die, not Sonic. Another sob came from Amy as she head Sonic's head close to her, she cradled his still body in her arms as she began to cry.

Metal Sonic turned It's back to the pathetic scene. "Of course that weak waste of space isn't dead…Master Robotnik only created a heavy tranquilizer that should simulate death…Just continue to believe he's dead you worthless sack of flesh…"

Amy stared down into Sonics unmoving face, she couldn't believe he was dead. Just like that, so quietly, so peacefully. Amy continued to cry her heart out as she once again held Sonic close to her. This couldn't happen to her only true love who had saved the world, who had saved her. The one person in this world that Amy loved was taken away from her in seconds. her anger rose at the twisted machine, the heartless mechanical beast who in one move had stolen her happiness and the object of all her love and affection from her. She was alone once again and all because Sonic had been to busy talking to her to watch his back.

"Master Robotnik has sent me here to finish you off…the world now belongs to the Eggman Empire" Metal Sonic said, Its back still turned to Amy. "My orders are to allow Amy to live…Sonic will awaken to find her beaten and covered in her own blood…he will feel pain…the pain of knowing that I could have finished her off." If machines could smile, Metal Sonic would have given a wicked grin at the thought of causing the being whom it was modeled after such pain.

"You…you evil bastard!" Amy screamed, she no longer cared anymore, she was going to get revenge for her fallen love even if it cost her life. There was nothing more for her to live for anyway, Sonic lay dead in her arms and she could do nothing to change it.

Metal Sonic turned around to began Amy's beating when her hammer smashed Metal square in the optical sensors. Metal was sent flying back into a lamppost, nearly breaking it in half. "I'll make you pay for killing Sonic…you hear me you bastard!" Amy screamed once more as she charged after the stunned and confused Metal Sonic.

Amy's heart and mind no longer seemed to belong to her own, it grew dark and black with rage and hatred. Everything in her life had been stolen from her in an instant. She was alone, all alone in the world. Her only love lay dead on the streets and she could do nothing to save him, she only thought of revenge, of hatred, she no longer cared what happened to her, only that Metal Sonic be reduced to non moving pile of scrap.

Metal Sonic attempted to rise but it's motion was checked by another swing of Amy's hammer. Amy's eyes flashed as she raised her hammer once again, she would destroy Metal Sonic at any cost. Metal swung its fist at her, his new titanium claws extended but Amy just brought her hammer down, smashing its arm clear off the rest of its body.

Oil began to spray from Metals broken arm, getting oil all over Amy. However she didn't take any notice as she brought her hammer down again and again. She didn't feel the burning in her arms as she continued to smash the now helpless Metal Sonic. She looked a fearsome sight, covered in oil and sweat as a look of rage and loss danced in her eyes.

"Body damage calculated at 69%…motion no longer possible, damage to legs exceeding safety limits…" Metal Sonic lay in a broken heap, its legs nearly crushed and it had lost its left arm, its optical sensors nearly non functioning. "Impossible…how could I lose to Amy……the tranquillizer should be wearing off soon…that should buy me time to…attack…".

Amy's tears ran like a river as her tired arms brought up her hammer once more, Metal Sonic didn't seem to be moving but she was going to make sure that it couldn't be rebuilt no matter what. She brought the hammer down, smashing it into Metal Sonics back, nearly smashing the hammer through.

"I'll…sob…make you pay for what you did…" Amy's voice was now soft and low, it sounded very dangerous as though she was on a edge and wasn't sure if she wanted to stay or leap.

"Ohhh….my head…anyone get the number of that truck?" groaned a very familiar voice.

Amy stopped in mid swing and slowly turned around, Sonic was sitting up and holding his head while mumbling something under his breath. Amy dropped her hammer at the sight, Sonic wasn't dead it seemed and her heart leaped with joy, returning its owner to her former happy self. Full of pure joy she ran towards the unknowing Sonic and did what she did best.

"Ohhh Sonikku!!!" Sonic's eyes widened as a giggling pink missile lunched itself at him, Sonic tried to move out of the way but found his legs still sluggish from what ever had been in his system.

Amy Rose, covered in oil and grime, crying tears of joy, latched herself onto Sonic and began to hug and cuddle him as best she could. Her hero and love was still alive and not much worse for the wear either. She forgot all about Metal Sonic or her own tiredness and thought only of the warm blue hedgehog that she was now squeezing lovingly in her arms.

Sonic gasped for air as Amy squeezed him, he didn't know why or what she was covered in but it was really starting to rub into his fur and it felt greasy and slick.

"Ugh…Amy what the hell are you covered in?" Sonic managed to pry Amy away from him for a few precious air giving seconds and saw her face. Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she had down, oil streaked her face as well as sweat. He looked past her to see a non moving, really banged up robot that looked a lot like Metal Sonic.

"Whoa…Ames did you just take out Metal?" Genuine respect and admiration filled into his voice, he knew she was a hand fighter at times, but Metal Sonic was one of Eggmans most dangerous creations. He wasn't something for even Sonic to take lightly.

A metallic groan cut off Amy's answer as both hedgehogs turned towards the sound. Metal Sonic, leaking oil and electricity had managed to rise itself up on its broken arm. Its untouched right arm was raised and its hand had flipped down to revel a small rocket.

Metal Sonic's broken optical sensors flicked on and off as the power slowly drined from its system. "This will…destroy…the both of you………say goo..good..night fools." It slowly aimed the small rocket at both of the hedgehogs.

Amy held on tight to Sonic who tried in vain to get up, the tranquilizer still hadn't fully diluted in his system. Sonic returned the hug to Amy, he knew he had failed her and because of that they would both die.

"Warning…Unit known as Metal Sonic has threatened Amy Rose…termination eminent" Gamma stated as its laser blaster fired off a single shot, a shot aimed straight at Metal Sonics head.

The processors in Metals head didn't have time to query why it hadn't noticed the out dated and treasonous bot before its head exploded from the impact of Gammas blast. Both Amy and Sonic gave a breathe of relief as the remains of Metal Sonic gave a single jerk and then lay still.

Both turned to give the bot their thanks when they noticed it had slumped down against the side of Amy's apartment. Amy let go of Sonic and walked over to Gamma to check on him. Sonic feeling his legs finally returning to normal stood up and joined her.

"What do you think Is the matter with him Sonikku?" Amy looked concerned for her friend from the past.

"I've got no idea Amy…but I'll go get Tails and I'm sure he'll know" Sonic gave her a smile as he put his hand on her shoulder. "You should go and get yourself cleaned up, you're a total mess Ames."

Amy smiled tiredly as Sonic ran his hand through her quills before taking a few steps to make sure his legs were back to their super fast norm. He waved goodbye as he took off in a flash towards the train station. Amy watched him go before she slowly began her walk back up to her home. Today had been a very tiring day and it wasn't even past lunch yet.

The still robotic body of Gamma and the remains of Metal Sonic would prevent a crowd from forming for a while, at least till Tails was able to move both hulks to his workshop in the Mystic Ruins area. Whatever was wrong with Gamma would soon be fixed and they would prepare themselves for Eggman who seemed to be on the verge of a another attempt to take over the world.

Amy sighed as she thought of all that was going to happen and what had happened already. All Amy could know for sure that her battle, not only against the evils of Robotnik but for Sonics heart. Today hadn't helped much, it would only prove that Amy would be in danger but she knew she wouldn't give up, she had thought she had lost the greatest thing in her life and she knew that she had to succeed, there could be no more mistakes or delays, her battle would begin now.

----------------

Outside of Amy's apartment

A few minutes later

The quiet of the street almost seemed ominous for a time, however soon two suspicious looking men in long trench coats and wide brim hats that hide their faces broke the dead silence. They slowly walked over to the remains of Metal Sonic and one of them slowly bent down and placed an electronic device on its beaten form. The other one whispered something into it's coat just before both of them and what was left of Metal Sonic disappeared in a flash of light. ~

--------------------------

Cap'n- Oohhh spooky yes….anyway…rage filled Amy slightly scares me…but I think if Sonic "died" that's how she might react…after a bit of saddnes mind…

Anyway, thanks for reading once again…I just hope that this is another ok chapter.
