Open Your Heart To Me

Warning: Yup, I'm warning you that a lot of the characters will be OOC. Also, be warned that this is my first Tails/Amy fic, so if it sucks, I apologize. And now without further ado...here's the fic!
Chapter 1: A New Entry...
Dear Journal,
Hmm, this feels really weird writing my feelings into a book...but if I don't, I think I'm gonna go insane. I wish I could talk to someone about this...but no one would understand what I'm going through, at least I don't think so... Sonic may understand...but how do I tell him that I like a certain someone, when in turn that certain someone likes him (and to be honest I think he's actually warming up to her...scary huh?). There's Knux...but then again, he's too busy watching over his precious emerald to even give a damn about little 'ol me. As for Rouge...well she's too busy "helping" Knux guard his emerald...if you know what I mean. So that leaves me with you, Journal. Basically my problem has been Amy. It's not that I'm mad at her...but it's my newfound feelings for her. I used to see Amy as a caring individual, and even though she may seem somewhat annoying when she's around Sonic...she's nothing like that in real life. I for one would know this. We've spent quite some time together, and without Sonic around. And in all honesty, she makes great company. In the last few years, we've become really close friends...so close in fact, that we have shared many aspects of our private lives to each other. But things changed a few months ago. Sonic began to see this warmer side of Amy, and started to realize that she's not the ditsy, fan-girl he thought she was, and naturally since Amy has a crush on him, she was overjoyed that Sonic wanted to spend time with her. Guess where that left me? Bingo! I was left out, and quite frequently I might add. I'll still never forget that day that she gave me this "good" news about Sonic wanting to spend time with her.
Flashback
RING RING Startled being deep in thought, Tails picked his phone up, "Hello?""Oh, hey Amy what's up?"
"Sure you can come by, you're always welcome here."
"Okay then, I'll see ya in a bit. Bye!" Tails puts the phone down with a confused expression. "Hmm, that was a bit weird." He shook the thought off and went to take a shower since he had been working on the Tornado for most of the day.
After about ten minutes he finished showering and proceeded to his room to put some clothes on. Just as he picked out something to wear, a knock at the door caught his attention.
"Coming!" Yelled Tails across the hall. He ran to the door, and answered it in just a towel, "Hey Amy! Come in."
"Hey Tails...umm, did I catch you at a bad time?" A slight shade of pink appeared on her cheeks without Tails noticing.
Confused, Tails raised a brow forgetting that he was merely in just a towel. "Huh?" Looking down and now realizing his appearance, "Oh...I'm sorry." Tails immediately turned a bright shade of crimson, "I just got out of the shower. I'll be right back."
Amy giggled, acknowledging his mistake and took a seat on the nearest couch.
After a few minutes, Tails came back into the room and sat next to Amy, "Heh, sorry about that. All I can say is that I'm allowed to have my moments just like anyone else."
Amy giggled, "Don't worry about it."
Tails nodded, "So, what did ya want to talk to me about?"
Amy smirked, "Well it's about Sonic."
"Sonic? What's goin on with him?"
Amy turned a light shade of pink, "Well, I think he's finally starting to come to his senses."
Tails raised a brow, somewhat oblivious to the hint, "What do you mean, come to his senses?"
"Well you know how I normally act around Sonic, right?" Tails nodded and Amy continued, "I don't know why...but I stopped acting all fan-girlish around him. I kinda got sick of it. The other day, I approached Sonic and said hi...but without strangling him in a bear hug, or asking him to marry me."
Tails couldn't help but chuckle, "No kiddin! I mean, I don't find it out of the ordinary for you not to act all fan-girlish, but not to act like that around Sonic? Now that's out of the ordinary!"
Amy nodded, "I know! And the funny thing is, Sonic actually acknowledged my presence, not by telling me to leave him alone, but he actually said hi to me!"
Tails found the whole topic confusing, but kept on listening, "Really?"
Amy nodded, "Yeah, so we talked for a bit, and this is the best part...we're going to a movie tomorrow night!"
Tails' mind screeched to a halt...did he hear Amy correct? "Wait, wait...you AND Sonic are going out tomorrow night!"
Amy smiled, "Yep!"
Tails shook his head in shock, "Wow, I thought I'd never see this day come." Tails instantly cringed for letting that comment go.
Amy somewhat frowned to this comment, "What is that supposed to mean Tails?"
Tails tried to cover up his comment, "Well, uh, you know how Sonic is...I never thought that he would go out with you." Tails mentally slapped himself for stupid comment number two 'Nice job idiot, why don't ya upset her some more.'
Amy's expression went from happy to upset in an instant, "What are you saying Tails, that I'm not good enough for Sonic?"
Tails interjected, "No, no Amy I didn't-" before he could finish Amy abruptly cut him off
"I don't get it Tails. I thought you'd be happy for me. Instead you're making me feel this big." Amy motioned this with her thumb and index fingers closely together.
Tails frowned, "Amy, I don't mean it like that. Look, I'm sorry for putting it like that."
Amy shook her head, "I know what you meant Tails...I just didn't expect that kind of reaction from you." Amy looked at her watch, "Well, I need to get going. I have some shopping to do for tomorrow night."
Tails nodded, "Alrighty." He walked Amy to the door, and opened it. As she was about to walk out, he lightly took hold of her hand, "Amy?"
Amy turned and made eye contact with him, "Yes?"
Tails pulled her close for a warm hug, "I'm sorry for the way I acted. It wasn't called for."
She returned the hug, "It's okay Tails. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."
Tails shook his head, "Amy, you didn't over-react. Let's just forget about this okay?" He pulled away from her and made contact with her emerald orbs.
She gazed into his aqua eyes and smiled, "Okay." She leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, "I know you meant no harm. See ya later!" She turned and head off towards Station Square.
Tails stood there with his hand on his cheek, 'Amy if you only knew how much I care for you...if you only knew.' He gently closed the door and slowly walked to his hangar to continue his work on the Tornado...
End Flashback
Tails shook his head at the memory and continued writing in his journal...
Amy and I used to spend time together several times a week. Nowadays I'll be lucky to hang with her once or twice a month. Her schedule is Sonic this and Sonic that. The more I think about it, the more it hurts me...and ya know what kills me? If I try to forget about it, I sub-consciously think about it more. Like the other day, I figured I'd work on the Tornado to take my mind off of things. Well guess what ended up happening? I fried out part of the electrical system! Yeah...I did it...Mr. Fix It actually broke something. And the part that really stunk was that I had to fix it right away since Sonic was coming by to see how my upgrade for the plane was going. If he knew that I messed something up, he'd immediately know something was up...since it's not like me to unintentionally destroy something.
Tails set his pen down and glanced at the clock, 'hmm, I should finish this up. It's getting late.'
Well...I'm going to bed now. Night!
-Tails Prower
Tails closed his journal and neatly put it in his desk drawer. He sat there for a second and lightly smiled, 'ya know...getting all that out felt good.'
He removed his clothing, leaving his shorts on, and slipped into bed.
Later that night...Tails jolted out of bed, eyes wide open, like deer seeing headlights. He shook off the thought of something that bad happening in real life.
Tails sat up, legs dangling off the side of the bed, "That was horrible."
He walked over to the bathroom and looked himself in the mirror, "Look at yourself! You're such a mess...why can't you bring yourself to tell Amy that you love her!" He looked down towards the sink and let his tears flow, "Because I'm afraid to, that's why. Besides...she's all lovey-dovey with Sonic now." He smacked the sink in frustration and went to the kitchen. Opening the fridge in search for a late night snack, he noticed that there was nothing to eat. "Damn." He slammed the door shut, "Can't anything go right for a change!"
He found his way outside to get some fresh air. 'Wow, it's a really clear night.' Tails looked towards where Station Square would be. Since the night was clear, he could make out the bright city lights in the distance. Remembering that she would be going on a date the next night bothered him. He knew that he should be happy for Amy...she's a good girl, and someone like that deserves to have it their way once in a while. His thoughts veered off to Sonic. 'Wait a minute. If Sonic knew that he was going on a date with Amy...he would've told me the instant he agreed to go out with her. Something's not right. Maybe I'll pay him a visit tomorrow.'
Tails yawned heavily and found his way back to bed to get some more sleep.
Well, there ya have it. I just want to give a heads up that I may not be updating this as often as I would like. As always, please review. I kindly accept those...and as for flames...I ignore those.
