Ch. 13: The not-so perfect couple
Amy slowly crept down the stairs. With each step Amy took the stairs creaked which caused a disturbance in the silence of Mystic Ruins. Amy stopped and waited for Sonic to turn around and run away, but he just sat there in silence. As Amy crept closer, she feared Sonic would run away, but every step she took led Sonic closer to her. She walked right behind Sonic stealthily, and he didn't even move at all. Amy thought that Sonic was sleeping, and put a hand to his shoulder.
"Ah!" exclaimed Sonic, who plunged down and splashed into the clear water.
"Hi Sonic!" Amy said with a cheesy smile.
"Oh hi Amy..." Grumbled Sonic as he put his arm on the ground to get himself up.
Amy looked down at Sonic, grabbing his arm to help him up. "Um..."
When Sonic saw Amy. His face lit up, and then he looked at her with a cold glare. "Don't touch me!" He said and pushed her away.
"…B-but Sonic…" Amy replied, small tears forming at the corner of her eyes. "You gave me this necklace..." She took the small necklace off her neck, and held it up to Sonic's face, holding her head down. "This proved to me that you went out of your way for me, but even now you act as if you don't care about me, but I know you do! This is proof! There is still hope...so Sonic...will you marry me?"
Sonic stared at Amy with eyes of disbelief, despite what torture he had to have gone through to realize his feelings, and the fact that she almost went off with another guy, his heart which was once shattered now became whole. He realized his destiny. Yet there was still heartache from what had happened before...some wounds will never heal, but Sonic never looks toward the past, and smiled knowing his one true future.
Sonic took a fist and held it close to his heart, staring at Amy. He felt tense and unable to speak. He coughed and gathered the courage to say what he's wanted to say for a long time. "Amy...I-I...I...L-love..."
Suddenly his hoarse words were quickly cut off by a voice from afar. "Sonic! I've made some hamburgers for lunch! Want some?"
Sonic ears twitched as he looked up, and an even bigger smile was place upon his face. "...FOOD!" He exclaimed, and without a second thought (or even an invitation for Amy to come) dashed off to Tails' workshop.
Amy blinked then clenched the string of her necklace in her palms, gritting her teeth. She knew Sonic was going to do this to her, but this made her furious, which one could easily tell by her heavy breathing. She gently put the necklace back around her neck; for she knew that she could have broken it. "Sonic...why do you always do this to me! Sonic, you're gonna pay, you hear me? You're gonna PAAAAAAAAY!" Amy yelled at the top of her lungs, and ran to the train back to station square.
Meanwhile...
Sonic was eating his heart out back at Tails' workshop, seeming to have no care in the world. Suddenly he heard an echo that sounded like Amy, and he froze in mid-bite.
"What's wrong Sonic?" Asked Tails. "I know I'm not much of a good cook, sorry if it tastes horrible!"
"I saw Amy earlier." Sonic commented, stopping his meal to talk to Tails.
"Amy? But she...why would you care Sonic? She hurt you...really bad, too. Why?"
Sonic smiled. "You'll understand when you're older lil' buddy. Wait a second! Amy! I-I just rushed in here without...oh man she's gonna kill me." He sighed. "See ya later! I'm off to catch me a pink hedgehog!"
Sonic quickly ran out of the workshop, and turned his head left and right looking for his love, but no luck. Sonic realized that she must have gone back to Station Square, and went back to the workshop.
"Hey, back already Sonic? You know what, my cooking isn't half bad isn't it?" Grinned Tails as Sonic walked in.
"Amy's gone again...and it's all my fault...again."
"Just go back to Station square and get her then!" Said tails looking at Sonic strangely.
"I-I can't...I'm too afraid..." Whispered Sonic.
"Of...? Come on, you can tell me." Tails moved his chair closer to Sonic.
"I'm afraid of Amy knowing how I feel...and then I'm afraid of Amy being taken away by that jerk Sora because she doesn't know..." Admitted Sonic, who was blushing slightly of embarrassment for it was rare for him to admit stuff like that.
"You can show Amy you care...I don't see what's wrong, you gotta stop Sora then! You almost did once!"
"SO I should…just straight out tell her! Push Sora out of the way and take my girl! Yeah! Thanks Tails, you're a hero!" Replied Sonic as he dashed off once again.
Tails smiled as he watched Sonic leave. "He said I'm a hero...I guess I really do help him."
Meanwhile...(again)
Amy was sitting on her couch listening to some music. "I can't believe Sonic is so inconsiderate..." She sighed. "...But Sora is so sweet and kind hearted...and then again, he could never save my life. I have nothing more to do than sit here, and wait for the one, who will marry me, to knock on my door! Whoever comes to my door first...will be my love. I hope its Sonic..."
"Well Amy, you got you're wish." Said a voice that sounded like Sonic.
"Sonic? How did you get in my house?" Asked Amy.
"I went through to back." He winked and gracefully handed Amy a bouquet of flowers. "I gladly accept your offer of marriage, Amy, I love you dearly." He said as he grabbed Amy's hand and slowly planted a kiss on it.
"Oh Sonic! I knew you'd come through! You're the most wonderful hedgehog the world has ever seen!"
The most wonderful hedgehog the world has ever seen...
At that moment, Amy had awoken. "Oh, I must have dozed off while I wait! Sonic would never do something as charming as that, It was only a dream...again. Oh Sonic, why must you be so cruel? If only...if only you could care about me, like I do with you, we would be a wonderful couple, but instead, you insist on running away when you hear my voice. If my dream was a reality...life would be perfect." Amy had wispered, but she still had no idea what Sonic was thinking right at that moment.
A/N: the ending is NOT that the whole thing is a dream for those peculiar people who think that, the ITALIC part is the dream...I thought people would use their brains and figure it out themselves, but I guess not, but then again it was my fault for not making things clear. Sorry for those that I have confused.
