To Understand

Sonic stood proudly, his green eyes sparkling at something that wasn't really there. It was so because Sonic started to Understand. Sonic didn't just start to understand, he started to Understand, with a capital U.

Ever since Sonic had been small, just big enough to walk, and run, he had felt a force within himself. Even when he was sleeping, he dreamed of running, of the feeling of freedom that running gave him.

And when he was still, the force within him, the sole purpose of his live disappeared. It was torture, staying still, when he longed to run on the hills, through the night, and throught the day. He longed to run around the world and never stop. He longed to see the desert flowers of africa, the waterfalls of the rain forrest's, the icy tops of the mountains, the glistening ice fields of north pole.

There were lot of things Sonic longed to do... and one of them was to kiss Amy.

Amy with her beautiful pink tags, and her green eyes that matched his own. Her eyes were hypnoticing as they looked into his, and Sonic suddently noticed he was no longer standing, but instead laying on the ground.

He could feel the small stone's in his back, the whispers of the trees around them, the slight warmth of the breeze that hit his tags.

He looked into Amy's eyes, and was trapped instantly. As said earlier, they were hypnoticing. The worry in them first. Then the irritation, and finally, love.

Sonic's look trailed from Amy's amazingly green eyes to her pink cheeks, to her glimmering cherry coloured lips that glistened in the last rays of sun.

It was evening actually, and they had been celebrating Soni'c birthday at the park, when Sonic had started to Understand. Sonic sat up on his hands, the beautiful colours of the green trees around them dansing around. He stared at Amy's cherry coloured lips as they parted slightly, mostly in shock, as Amy Understood what Sonic was about to do.

Amy Understood too. Amy saw the often hidden passion in Sonic's eyes, the way his eyes were filled with worry when she was in trouble, and the way he ran, speeding through the roads, pilars of dust trailing behind him.

Sonic glared at the inches separating their lips, and hoped they would go away. A voice whispered him to close the distance between them, and so Sonic did. At that moment when slightly rough lips met soft, cherry coloured one's when Sonic finally Understood.

...He Understood the meaning of live,...

...He Understood the cause of sunrise...

"Okay, who got Sonic drunk?" Knuckles asked irritated.

... He Understood the use of the can opener,...

...He Understood the production of milk,...

...He Understood the shape of string underwear...

Sonic took one look at Amy's face... Her closed eyelids, her still parted lips, her blushing cheeks, and finally one last look at the night sky, and the stars in it.

Then the world rolled around one more time, before Sonic the Hedgehog passed out.
