A Wily tale

Part 36

"That's some story."

Jonny nodded from his seat on the couch. Ali-Su was sitting next to him, both had taken turns telling the tale of how they met with as much detail as they could, and both were kinda tired. Jonny had hung the brown cloak he had been wearing on the coat rack when he came in so he was only wearing his black T-shirt now, his lab coat was locked up in the Skulker. Trini-Ti, Ali-Su's mother sat across from them in a chair. Her husband sat beside her on a chair he had brought from the kitchen, both of the older echidnas where still taking in all the information they had been told.

Ali-Su's father Camrin was yellow, just like his daughter, and was more laid back than most men his age. Something his wife Trini-Ti often found very annoying. Trini-Ti was red like most echidnas, she wasn't always the brightest person on the planet but everyone has their moments of stupidity. Camrin only got annoyed when these moments happened when she cooked.

"I hope you still don't think that I'd ever hurt Ali-Su, or think ill of me. I really do care for her." Jonny's tone was sincere, but he was still very nervous whether or not they would accept him.

Ali's father chuckled. "If all you told us is true, then I don't have a doubt in my mind you'd hurt her."

"You told us everything?" Trini-Ti asked sternly, crossing her arms.

"Everything we can remember between the two of us." Ali-Su said, becoming worried at what he mother was getting at.

Trini-Ti narrowed her eyes at the couple. "You two haven't..."

Ali-Su and Jonny both blushed darkly. "No!" They both answered in unison, embarrassed beyond words.

Both of Ali-Su's parents chuckled at their reaction, reminding the echidnas of how nervous and scared they were when they first meet each other's parents. But this different from them, a 'human' was going out with their daughter. Still, having explained things to them in such detail they both felt that this is one of those instances where it would be best not to interfere with their child's life. She'd done well so far, and Jonny seemed to be a good kid.

"Well, you two spent four hours telling us your story. Will you be spending the night here?" Camrin asked calmly.

"Wait... You two aren't mad at me for leaving to join the Legion are you?" Ali-Su asked, she had been worried that her mom would blow up when she found out. But instead she just smiled and sat next to her daughter.

"But you came back to us, and that's all that matters." Trini-Ti said, giving her daughter a hug.

"Would you mind going back to the hotel alone Jonny? There's not enough room in this apartment doesn't have anyplace for you to sleep..."

Jonny shook his head gently. "It's okay. It was nice to meet the both of you." Jonny gave Ali-Su a kiss on the cheek, retrieved his cloak and waved good-bye to Ali-Su as he walked out the door.

Ali-Su's parents looked back to see their daughter smiling widely, blushing a little.

Trini-Ti smiled. "You really love him don't you?"

Ali-Su nodded. "He's the only guy I know who's in love with me. Besides, not many guys would give their life for me."

"Well, I'm glad he treats you well." Camrin grinned. "I just hope you're okay about marrying someone who looks like an Overlander."

Ali-Su turned a dark red, more embarrassed than ever in her life. "DAAAD! We're not engaged or anything like that!"

"I know. I just wanted to ruffle your feathers." Her father laughed, but after seeing Ali-Su was glaring at him he coughed and became more serious. "Anyway, from what you've told us he's polite, intelligent, and very nice to be around. I'm glad to see you bring home someone like that." He ended his statement by placing a hand on his daughter's shoulder.

Ali-Su hugged her father. Indescribably happy that her father accepted he true love.


Next morning Jonny Tails and Sonic were sitting at the table in the room they shared, eating a breakfast of toast, pancakes, and chili dogs. Take a wild guess who was eating the later. Jonny turned on the TV, something he had honestly missed from his days on Earth. He decided to check out the news for a second before seeing what else was on.

"Three Dark Legionnaires were discovered earlier this morning by a young man on his morning jog. Strangely enough these three Legionnaires were found hanging by their cybernetic parts from a fire escape in the alleyway outside the Hawkeye apartment building. What makes this even stranger is how they were hanging." The news reporter held up a few red 'U' shaped magnets. "These small, yet incredibly powerful, magnets were found holding the young echidnas aloft. Police are at a loss to explain this and the Legionaries are refusing to talk to officials."

"Looks like you had some fun last night." Sonic snickered.

Jonny shook his head and took a bite of his toast. "Nah, they were looking for a fight and I wasn't in the mood to oblige."

"Well, I'm glad you didn't hurt them. Otherwise we'd have a manhunt to worry about." Tails said in a warning tone. "Still, why didn't the Legionnaires talk?"

"Maybe they didn't want their buddies to hear that the three of them were taken down and embarrassed by one Overlander." Jonny smirked.

"Maybe, but the Legion is full of stubborn military types." Sonic said. "It would take torture to get anything out of them. Something the officials here are strongly against."

"Now there's something I can agree with one hundred percent." Jonny laughed. "So what will you guys be doing?"

Sonic stretched, and took another bite of his reheated breakfast. "Me and Tails will be out seeing the town, then later tonight Sally and me plan on getting something to eat."

"Bunnie and Antoine are already out about town somewheres." Tails said, he never understood how Sonic could eat those things all the time. Jonny felt the same way.

"Ali-Su will be showing me around town when she gets here." Jonny hadn't finished that sentence when Ali-Su walked through the door and sat down next to Jonny. "Did your parents chew you out after I left?"

Ali-Su shook her head. "No. In fact my dad said he liked you."

Sonic and Tails just smirked at each other.


The next few days in Echidnaopolis when smoothly, wearing the cloak with the hood up allowed Jonny to walk more freely around the city. People still gawked at him, but not with the malice that they had shown him his first day there. Ali-Su showed him all her old haunts. Her school, the arcade she frequented prior to joining the Legion, the old warehouse she and her old friends hung out in. Jonny was just happy that Ali-Su was happy. Sally however was getting anxious to return to the tower and start taking Robotropolis back from Robotnik. Soon it was only a matter of hours until they would have to leave.

"Hey Ali-Su, there's some interesting movies on a tonight. Well it's our last night in Echidnaopolis. Would you like to go see one?" Jonny asked, they had been on a few dates since they had come to the city and Jonny wanted to have one more before they had to leave.

"Sure. I'd be glad to go." Ali-Su smiled, giving the human a wink as she walked back to her room to get ready. Jonny took a deep breath, this was going to be unlike the other dates he and Ali had been on.

For some reason Jonny seemed a little tense that night, much like the first time he had told her he loved her. She just thought that it was because this was their first date with out him wearing the cloak

"This reminds me of the first time you took me to the auditorium back at the tower and showed me some of those cool movies." Ali-Su said, giving the human a mischievous look.

"Yeah, I brought some of my favorite ones here to Mobius. I was surprised you liked Bloodsport as much as you did." Jonny said. He had always had a thing for old movies like that.

Ali-Su nodded. "It was a good movie. Could you get me some popcorn?" Ali-Su asked sweetly, putting her hands behind her back and trying to look innocent.

"Sure." He asked the young Echidna at the counter for a large for a medium sized popcorn, Ali-Su never noticed that Jonny drop something into the bag of popcorn.

Jonny was glad the youth at the counter was too sleepy to care what he looked like. Or he didn't care, both good.

As they entered the theater Jonny noticed that there weren't many people inside. There were a few couples scattered about the rows but that wasn't too unexpected at this hour. Besides it was a romantic movie. Not many of the couples even noticed them come in, they were either engrossed in the movie or each other.

Jonny and Ali-Su sat down in what could be considered the middle row. Ali-Su snuggled up to Jonny the best she could and started munching on the popcorn.

"You sure you don't want any?" Ali-Su asked, offering the bag to Jonny.

Jonny shook his head. "I'm sure."

Ali-Su shrugged and went back to watching the movie. Ali-Su enjoyed the Popcorn, until her teeth met something hard. She instantly went to pull whatever it was out of her mouth and go complain to the manager. Until she saw what it was and gasped. It was a ring, a gold ring.

Ali-Su looked at the human next to her, who was smiling warmly. Despite the pain it caused him, Jonny removed his sunglasses and looked at her, his beautiful hazel eyes looking right into her blue ones. He softly took her free hand in both his warm hands, "Ali... Will you marry me?" He asked, his eyes begging for her to accept his plea.

Ali-Su was shocked, she had never expected him to propose to her, especially like this. But she hugged him fiercely, crying. She whispered her response in his ear.

Both of them smiled and kissed each other, and watched the rest of the movie with Ali in Jonny's arms. Both grinning warmly.

"I promise Ali, the day Robotnik is gone we'll get married." Jonny whispered softly in her ear, he looked at Ali-Su with a small warm smile. "I love you Ali-Su..."

Ali-Su just smiled happily up at the human, a few tears of joy decorated her face. "I love you too Jonny..."

After the movie ended, Ali-Su and her new fiancé walked back to her parent's apartment to tell them the happy news.

Jonny couldn't have been more happy. His family's evil past was virtually unknown here on Mobius, he and Ali-Su were engaged, the robot masters were all helping an entire race of people instead of helping to enslave it, and best of all, he no longer felt like he had to hide in the shadows for safety.

The end.
