To all you Sonic/Sally fans out there seeking something like this, TOO BAD! No Sally in this at all, don't like her, don't like her pairing with Sonic. SONIC/AMY FOREVER! YEAH! We Amy fans shall form a coven and overthrow Princess Sally! MUAHAHA! I'd also like to give a little thank-you to my friend, Shadow XX (if he's reading this, that is. But, even if he's not...). I got the idea for the ending for this fic with his help (he helped subconsciously, though)...So, thanks, Shad.
BTW, I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or any related logos, they are purely under the sole ownership of SEGA and Sonic Team, which the AMY COVEN shall soon overthrow. I'm a pyscho, I know.
Sonic's POV
A LOVE OF TWO HEDGEHOGS
Hey, everybody! I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog, the world's fastest blue hedgehog! But you knew that already, didn't you? If you knew that then, you must know that I've been chased around for years by this girl hedgehog named Amy Rose. For the longest time, I found her so annoying, the way she was always chasing me around, wanting to marry me. She's only twelve, for goodness' sake! It was kinda creepy that everywhere I turned she would be there with hearts in her eyes.
I met her a couple of years ago when Eggman first built Metal Sonic. The first day when that fake robot reared its ugly head was the one day when Little Planet is visible from our planet. I'm not sure how Amy reached our planet, but I just met her when Eggman took her hostage and she was a damsel in distress and I was her knight. She was just six years old, then, but I suppose I was more than the analogy to her—I really was her knight in shining armour. The little orphan then forgot about going back to Little Planet and has been stranded here ever since. She's got no family to miss, so I suppose Tails and I became her family and she started her pursuit of me.
But now she's easing up a little. She's maturing, I guess, and has finally found a really good friend—Cream the Rabbit. Those two are as good friends as I am with Tails. It's good to see her happy, not that she ever wasn't, but now she's got something better to do than waste her time trying to make me love her back. Though, I think that after six years, she's finally succeeding.
You see, recently I've been having dreams where she played a big role. We were married and had kids, scary as the thought is, yet she seemed to be a great mother. She was a great cook, and was really devoted to the kids and I. And then there was the dream where we're walking along a beach at sunset, hand-in-hand. Then, we stop, I put my arm around her and kiss her on the cheek. She then puts her arms around my neck and kisses me back. It's an odd feeling, being totally in love with someone. I don't think I ever felt anything like that before. But those are just dreams, right? Nothing meaningful.
So wrong. The other day I saw her on the street, and I just kind of stared instead of turning the other cheek like I always do. She didn't notice me thankfully, but I must have looked like a stalker to witnesses. Something about her, that was different and that I had never really seen before, drew me to her. I couldn't say what it was, or why I felt it, but now that I've had some time to think about it, I'm pretty sure it must have been Cupid's Arrow striking me hard in the butt. After all these years, I was finally returning her emotions.
That's why I've been stuck in my house. I'm scared to go out. Scared to go outside and face her. Scared to face emotions I've never quite felt before. I'm a fearless hero that's afraid of love. I know I'm gonna have to face these feelings sooner or later. And that I might as well start now. But, it's too hard...I just can't. But I'm too slow to think. I hear the doorbell and I just know it's her. Time to face the music.
I ease out of my chair, my legs almost aching I do it so slowly. I trudge over to the door, gulp, and then open it. "Yes?" I groan.
"Sonic?"
I sigh. I was wrong again. It wasn't Amy, but Tails, always eager to heal what ails me. I'm lovesick, Dr. Prower.
Tails tells me I must face my fears, and with that, I head out the next day, zipping through Station Square like...well...me, the world's fastest hedgehog. Then, I see a pink speck fast approaching, so I slow down to see Amy taking her leisurely walk home from grocery shopping. I come to a complete halt and watch her turn a corner before walking after her. It's like she's got a magnetic shield and I'm a ring, I try to convince myself to follow her, and my feet listen, yet my brain tells me to run away. Tails says that's what I've been doing all my life—taking advantage of my speed and running away to face my problems. Now I must stand my ground and make use of close-hand combat like Knuckles does.
Before I have a chance to even think, my mouth acts by yelling out her name. "Amy!"
I tense as she whips around, nearly dropping her precious bags in the process. Her face lights up from the dull apathy I've been seeing the past few days on her. The smile is definitely prettier. The close call from before does her no good, as she drops the bags anyway and rushes for me as fast as she can (which isn't very fast). I think I crawled faster when I was born.
"Sonic!" she exclaims, hurtling at full speed, but then she slows as she gets closer, almost hesitant. She stops a few feet before me, and she seems to be utterly surprised that it's me standing there, staring back at her.
"What's wrong, Amy?" I ask, taking a step closer.
"Why aren't you running away?"
"What?"
"Whenever I run at you like this, you run away. You're not moving. Are you feeling okay, Sonic?" she questions, looking concerned and even wary of me.
"Oh yeah," I answer, waving my hand to dismiss what I was trying to make look like a stupid question. She still stands there gawking at me. I advance on her, taking her in my arms and holding her close. She just kind of went limp in my arms—it was like holding a rag doll. I was sure that I had to be blushing by now, so I bury face in the side of her head. "Amy, there's something I have to confess to you..."
She isn't saying anything, and she definitely isn't doing anything. I just had to get out with it. Now. "Amy, I believe that I...I love you..."
This was like a bombshell, I'll bet. One of joy, surprise and craziness. Any moment I expected her to go ballistic on me like one of Eggman's crazy robots. Which, she did. Before I even get a chance to think, she's got her arms around my neck in a vice grip. I can almost feel my eyes bulge out of their sockets!
The next thing I know, I'm inviting her to a movie and she accepts as a full-fledged date. I help her pick up her groceries and run her home. Really. I pick both her and her groceries up and run all the way there. As I say 'see you later' and move to leave her doorstep, she plants a soft kiss on my cheek. I wave a final goodbye and zip away, not wanting her to see me savour the feeling on my cheek. It burns, yet I love that pain. It makes me giddy, and comforts me at the same time. This nervousness is probably signifying the beginning of something beautiful.
That night, I keep it casual. I try to stay the same as I always look, but it's really tempting to just dress up in something fancy. But going to the Saturday night movies in a tux isn't exactly what most people would call normal. In Hollywood, maybe, but not Station Square. After putting on some aftershave I had bought from the store for the occasion that I figured smelled nice, I sprinted all the way to Amy's house.
She was waiting at the door, perhaps wearing something more like I was expecting to wear myself. A sequinned, red, strapless dress with a matching gauze shawl. She looked...stunning...if I be so bold as to use the word. She took one sniff of me as soon as she opened the door and smiled, saying I smelled..."seductively sweet". What words as I have never heard said to me before...
And here I go, all Shakespearean on myself. Bleah.
Guess it's gonna be more than just a oneshot...My bad. I just had to get this thing off my chest and onto FFN. Two chapters at least, at most. I hope. BTW, I'm not a HUGE Amy/Sonic fan, I just wanted to write this weird little romancy thingy with Sonic. NOT USING SALLY. Or an OC, for that matter. Giving you a chance for opinions, people.
