(It's back to Sonic and Amy's date! Still don't own Sonic. We'll finally know what's in that velvet pouch now.)

CHAPTER 8

After what seemed like an hour of dancing, Sonic and Amy retreated to their table, and ordered their food. As Sonic was eating his chili dogs, he turned his attention to his date as she was eating ketchup covered French fries. "Boy Amy, I never you could dance like that. I'd say you were an angel, but real angels don't dance like that." He finished with a suggestive wink.

Amy countered with her own suggestive look. "There's a lot you don't know about me Sonic… A girl has to keep her secrets…"

"Though I'd like to know some of them…" Sonic said quietly. He remembered the velvet pouch in his pocket and he began to dig in his pocket for it.

Amy swallowed her food as she wiped her brow. "Whew, that dancing really got me all hot."

"You were already hot, before the dance got started." Sonic said as he leaned over and kissed Amy.

Amy giggled. "You know it, baby."

Sonic got the velvet pouch out of his pocket but made sure to keep it hidden until he felt it was the right time. He looked all around the club, and noticed Knuckles in the back, sneaking off with Rouge. He couldn't help but chuckle. "It looks like they've got something naughty in mind."

Amy laughed along with them. "I'd wonder if Rouge was ready for Knuckles… But I think the question is, is Knuckles ready for Rouge?"

Sonic looked to where Knuckles and Rouge were heading off to. It was one of many rooms entitled, "Lover's Lounge." "It looks like quite a few couples are heading there for a little privacy." He noticed there was one of those rooms right behind him. This was just what he needed right now. "Hey Ames…"

"Yeah Sonic?"

Sonic stood up and took Amy's hand. "Come with me…there's something I want to show you, but not in front of all these prying eyes…" He deposited some money to pay for the food, on the table.

Amy accepted Sonic's hand and stood up slowly. "Ok, Sonic."

Sonic lead Amy over to the room door, and opened it up. Inside, was a room that looked like it belonged in a fancy 5 star hotel. This was possibly where couples went to get away from the crowd. Sonic shut the door behind her as Amy flopped down on the bed.

"Wow, it's so comfy. Rouge has really outdone herself." Amy sighed as she stretched out on the bed.

Sonic felt that this time was good as any other. "Amy… Those white roses… They weren't the only gift I have for you… I've got something else for you…" He held out the velvet pouch.

Amy took the pouch with a look of curiosity. 'Wonder what it could be…" She undid the tie on the pouch and opened it up. What was inside made her heart stop. "Oh…Sonic…" She reached into the pouch and she pulled out something sparkly. It was a necklace, but instead of diamonds, there were tiny chaos emeralds that seemed to sparkle in the 7 colors of the rainbow.

Sonic smiled inwardly. 'Thank you Ambient…' He walked over and helped Amy put the necklace on. "Beautiful, isn't it? But not as beautiful as you…" As soon as he finished tying the emerald necklace around Amy's neck, he was met with huge hug and kiss that threw him onto the bed, with Amy on top of him.

"Sonic… You didn't have to do this…"

"Amy, you deserve it." Sonic said softly. "All my life I was blind and afraid, and all that was there in front of me was love, yet I didn't know it." He returned Amy's hug. "I wanted to make of for all those years of love I missed."

Amy was trying not to cry as she looked up in Sonic's deep emerald eyes.

Sonic smiled as he stroked the side of Amy's face. "Amy… I think there's still something in the pouch…" He told her noticing a faint sparkle in the pouch as he lifted it up. He reached into it pulling out too small items. They were earrings, made from the same small prism-like chaos emeralds that made up the necklace. He smiled as he held them out to Amy. "They STILL can't surpass your radiance, you know that don't you?" He said as he kissed her cheek.

Amy allowed a few tears of joy to shed as she delicately put the earrings on. "Sonic… They're beautiful… Thank you…for everything. You've made me the happiest girl in Station Square…"

Sonic smiled as he kissed Amy on the lips. "Anything for you, love."

Amy returned the kiss fully, her tongue gliding against the insides of Sonic's lips, before she pulled away. "It's awfully warm in here…" She said in a coy tone, and suddenly began to unbutton her blouse.

Sonic's eyes widened as each of Amy's buttons came loose, gradually exposing her round breasts, covered by a purple silk bra. Sonic watched Amy throw her blouse to the side, and he could feel his heart rate accelerate

Amy giggled inwardly at Sonic's reaction. "You like what you see?"

Sonic nodded, his face reddening, as he began to feel warm down south.

Amy bent over, her breasts pressing up against Sonic's chest, and she wrapped her arms around his frame. "It's all yours…" She kissed him passionately.

Returning the kiss, Sonic's hand roamed across Amy's body, right down below her waist, where he began to move to the button on Amy's skirt. He unbuttoned it and pulled it off of Amy's heart shaped derriere, revealing her black silk panties. Tossing Amy's skirt to the side with her blouse, Sonic pulled Amy down on top of him to the bed, where more kisses and caresses took place all over their bodies…

"I love you Amy…"

"I love you Sonic…"

The next morning…

Sonic opened his eyes, and looked at the clock by the bed… It read 10:30 am. "Whew… Must've been at it all night…" He looked to the opposite side, finding an underwear clad Amy Rose snuggled up with him. He smiled. "That was the best night of my life…" He leaned over and kissed Amy on the lips.

Amy's eyes fluttered open and she stretched in a cat like manner, yawning cutely. "Hey Handsome…"

"The pink princess has awoken with a kiss from her true love." Sonic said softly, earning a kiss from a blushing Amy.

"Thank you for last night Sonic… It was all so special…" She said blissfully.

"We can do it again, any time we feel like it." Sonic told her, embracing her, and kissing around her neck.

"Sonic, that tickles…" Amy giggled.

After a few more minutes of making out, they pulled away. "Well, we can't stay in bed all day we'd better leave before Rouge gets wise." Sonic said as he got up, preparing to get dressed.

"All good things must end sometime…" Amy said with a sigh as she got up, moving over to her clothes.

As Sonic got dressed, he looked at himself in the mirror. He had lipstick kiss marks all over his muzzle, and his hair was slightly messed up. 'Wow, one girl could do all this to me…' He thought with a laugh.

As the two lovers made their way out of the room, and headed for the door, they noticed another couple having one last make out session.

Rouge and Knuckles were off to the side, engaged in a heavy lip lock, oblivious to the other couple.

"Ahem…" Sonic cleared his throat.

Knuckles and Rouge both jumped and turned around to see Sonic and Amy laughing at them.

"You two lovebirds having a morning snog to start your day?" Sonic said with a smirk.

"How saucy." Amy laughed.

Knuckles just snorted. "Oh? You two should talk, Rouge and I heard you last night."

Rouge through a suggestive look at Sonic. "It sounded like you rocked Amy's world last night."

"You can say that again." Amy said latching onto Sonic's arm and smooching him.

Sonic just held Amy close, returning the kiss. "Amy is one fine woman, that's all I'm telling you." That earned a giggle from Amy.

Meanwhile, on Emerald Beach…

Tails sat on the sand, with a huge grin on his face. Earlier, he had gotten a phone call from Knuckles, regarding Sonic and Amy, and their date. "So Sonic and Amy finally hit it off after so long… Heh, I knew Sonic could do it."

"You knew Sonic could do what?"

Tails looked over to see Cream by his side smiling sweetly.

"Sonic and Amy finally got together, and from what Knuckles told me, had one wild night." He laughed.

Cream blushed madly as she knew what Tails meant. "I don't need to know every intimate detail…"

Tails laughed and pulled Cream close to him. "I know. I just love flustering you." He kissed her on the cheek.

Cream's blush grew even deeper. "Tails…" She suddenly grinned and gave Tails a big kiss on the lips.

When they pulled away, Tails was breathless. "Wow… Cream, what was that for?"

Cream blushed again, fumbling with the bottom of her dress. "Tails… How do you feel about me? And tell me the truth."

Tails flushed a bit. 'No, I'm not gonna mess this up.' "Cream… Ever since I met you, I've had something of a crush on you… You're sweet, kind, and overall you're cute as a button. Cream…I love you."

Cream flushed once more, hearing all of Tails' personal feelings of her. "Tails… I… I'm so happy!" She embraced Tails with a HUGE hug. "My love isn't one sided…"

Tails was half surprised/half happy. "Cream… Does this mean…?"

"Miles Prower… I love you so much!" Cream exclaimed.

With that the two young lovers engaged in a loving kiss.

Elsewhere…

Shadow was on the outskirts of Night Babylon, contemplating his situation. "I know the Nega-5 will try something soon, but I have a feeling it won't be with me… What would they gain from going after Sonic and the others anyway? Whatever the reason is…I can't let it happen. GUN's gone too far enough!" Suddenly his chaos power began to pick something up. "The energy signatures of the Nega-5… They're on the move! I better follow them and see what they're up to… But where are they exactly? How can I reach them? I don't have a Chaos Emerald anymore… What am I going to do?"
