Joy flowed through her even though she wasn't awake. It was all going to go great! Everything was turning out the way it was supposed to.
"Sonic!" Amy cried, running over to Sonic as he hit the ground. Tears in her eyes, she knelt beside him, trying to shake him awake, "Sonic! Can you hear me? Are you all right?"
Déjà vu hovered down and said nothing as she walked off.
Amy clenched her fists, "Aren't you going to say anything?"
"Over the past years my soul has become embittered and cruel. Living in a world of hatred can do that to someone… I have nothing to say…" She walked away, out of sight.
Amy watched as she walked off, but then drove her attention back to Sonic. His eyes were blank and he was breathing heavily, quite exhausted from the battle.
A few hours later, Sonic opened his eyes. He was sitting in a bright room with colored wall paper all around. It was awfully bright.
"Argh! It burns!" He cried, pulling his bandaged hand over his eyes.
"Calm down, Sonic." Amy giggled. Sonic looked across the bed and saw Amy sitting beside him, "If you don't like the light…" she set a cloth on his eyes, "There!"
"Aw… much better…"
"Hopefully better that the light is gone and not that you can't see me anymore…"
"Now why wouldn't I want to look at you?" Sonic said, grinning. Amy nudged him.
"You know… flattery will get YOU a cookie!"
Sonic made a smug look, for a cookie wasn't the reward he had in mind. Just then, as the lights were out in Sonic's eyes, a figure suddenly attacked Sonic as he sat.
"Ah! I'm under atta… Oh... hi Tails…" Sonic said.
"Hi Sonic!" Tails chirped, smiling, "Guess what!?"
"Uhm… what?"
"You can move back in with Amy now!"
Amy pushed Tails off the bed, "I was going to tell him!"
Amy lunged to grab him, but he took off running.
"Hey wait… if I move in with Amy… does that mean…"
Amy nodded.
Sonic was silent.
"Sonic? What's wrong?"
Sonic looked over in Amy's direction, "I'm waiting for an answer!"
Amy laughed as she realized Sonic couldn't see her nod, so she lifted off the cloth. That was a mistake.
"The light! It burns! It burns like a thousand pains!!" Sonic wailed.
Amy laughed, "A thousand pains? Where'd THAT come from?"
Sonic thought a minute, his eyes already adjusted to the light, "I don't know… somewhere I guess…"
Amy smiled, then leaned over, kissed Sonic on the forehead and walked out the door, leaving Sonic in stunned silence.
"Hey Amy… if Sonic moves in with you again… where do I live? I can't own an apartment on my own!" Tails said as Amy came out.
"Oh… I forgot about that… Hm… Well, you can't stay with us for… obvious reasons…" Amy said, but then regretted it.
Tails giggled, "Ooooooooooh! I get it…"
"Uhm… what do you mean?" Amy said, hoping he wasn't about to say…
Tails said something softly to Amy and Amy burst out in anger, throwing Tails onto the couch and hitting him with a pillow.
"Ow! What!? You two only make it TOO obvious!"
Amy hit him again, but this time, Tails got knocked out. Amy was stunned, but then remembered she put a shoe in that case so she'd be protected if a burglar came into her room.
"Whoops…"
She put the pillow case down and set Tails up so it looked like he fell asleep. Then, she ran to the kitchen to make Sonic a bowl of soup.
That night, Amy sat at the table, Sonic sitting across from her. They had decided that Tails would stay with Vanilla, Cream's mother, until he was old enough to live on his own. Amy looked over at Sonic, and he looked up, smiling.
Everything was quiet, until Sonic suddenly got up and walked into Amy's room.
"Uhm…" Amy ran in, "Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for something…" He opened one of the boxes on her dresser and pulled something out, obviously not what he was looking for, and laughed hysterically.
"Hey! GET OUT OF THAT DRAWER!" Blushing madly, Amy slammed the box closed and took the garment Sonic was laughing at, throwing it in her closet, "I was only 12 Sonic… I wasn't grown yet…"
Sonic then went and opened another box, a jewelry box, and pulled out a solid gold ring with an emerald shard on it. Facing Amy, he showed her. She gasped.
"Is that…?"
Sonic nodded. Then, kneeling on one knee, he held the engagement ring to Amy. Amy suddenly fainted with glee.
"Eep! Amy!" Sonic ran over and caught her.
Even in her unconscious state, she nodded.
Joy flowed through her even though she wasn't awake. It was all going to go great! Everything was turning out the way it was supposed to.
