Chapter 4: TV Time!

"Why did I do that?"

I couldn't even turn around to look back at the car.

I could not make myself calm down. I felt like my heart was going to explode I was so anxious.

"Baka Baka Baka!" My pulse slowed as I heard Amy jokingly call me by that "affectionate" term as she jogged up beside me as we entered the store.

Amy smiled sweetly as we walked through the store.

"Wonderful. Now I'm going to drive myself crazy all night about kissing her." I sighed to myself.

The supermarket was practically empty considering what time of night it was.

I think we saw all of two other shoppers the entire time we were there.

"I got the marshmallows Sonic! Jet puffed!" Amy called from the end of the aisle I happened to be on.

"Okay!" I spoke up.

She then darted off to another part of the store to grab who knows what.

I meandered around by myself for a few minutes and grabbed some Coca-Cola in glass bottles and some tuna before tracking down Amy.

"Anything else you need there Betty Crocker?" I asked her as she approached me with her arms full of vegetables and meats.

She frowned jokingly at me.

We quickly paid for the groceries and jumped back in the car heading for home.

After we arrived we finished making our hot chocolate and went into the living room.

Amy sat down on the couch and placed her cocoa on the coffee table.

I decided to join her.

"Amy, why did you come over here tonight?" I asked curiously.

I mean, I figured she would have thought tonight was as hopeless as any night, as many times as I've coldly turned her away.

"Oh, just a hunch." She smiled.

"Wha' do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing. I just thought it would be a good time to drop by and it turned out I was right."

"Uh-huh. You talked to Tails didn't you?"

"No, I just gave him a bath."

"What?"

"It's a long story Sonic. Let's just say it involves Cream, Tails' allergies, me, and a bottle of garlic."

I burst out laughing.

I could not believe she actually used Tails' allergic reaction to find out something about me.

"Amy, you're the best." I told her, still laughing somewhat uncontrollably.

I put my arms on her shoulders and kissed her quickly on the lips.

She smiled for a moment and then kissed me for a much longer amount of time.

Not that I'm complaining of course.

After a few minutes we broke from our embrace and looked at each other.

"Wanna watch some TV?" I asked her, pulling a blanket over both of us as we lay down on the couch.

"Sure." She replied as leaned against me.

I reached for the remote and flipped the TV on and channel surfed around for a few minutes before finally giving up.

Amy and I immediately looked at each other and said together, "Damn telethons!"

The End

Author's Note: Looking back at this story, I'm not sure why I was so 'anti-telethon' at the time. I haven't seen one on TV in a long time now that I think about it. I hope everyone enjoyed the story. Thanks very much for reading! I really appreciate it!
