Chapter 7: The Brightest Day in Sunset Heights

Sunset Heights, 2:35 pm.

Sonic: And then Tails smacked the Chaos Cannon so hard, the armor broke off!

Amy: Oh! That's amazing!

Sonic was telling Amy about the recent throwdown against Eggman earlier that day. Amy missed the adventures, so Sonic figured he would tell her about them while she was in her pregnancy.

Sonic: The end of the fight was a Double Boost, and the usual yeet and skeet treatment that sent Eggman flying back to Metropolis!

Amy: Nice work, hun! Told you that you and Tails got this.

Sonic: Honestly, I think Tails could've done it himself. I mean he DID beat Eggman on his own about 3 years ago. When he made that Paradox Train, remember?

Amy: Oh I remember. He was so excited about it the following week. Kiko showered him with so much sweets and love.

Sonic: Heh… Yeah. Funnily enough that was also the day he and her got BUSY in the bed.

Amy: Sonic! You know you shouldn't be a peeping Tom!

Sonic: Hey, it was YOUR idea, Ames!

The two exchange a glare before proceeding to laugh. It had indeed been Amy's idea to do that, but at least she and Sonic stopped when the fun TRULY began that day.

Amy: Ah… Hard to believe Knuckles and Tails are both parents now.

Sonic: Meanwhile, I was too damn slow in that regard.

Amy: Hey, it was a big decision, and the fact you decided to give it a try is a big step for you.

Sonic: Not yet, the kid isn't here, Amy.

Amy: Well, not fully, no, but even still it was a scary choice to make.

Sonic: Yeah… I still remember saying I was NEVER gonna have any kids. I'm honestly glad I got to eat my own words the day you told me.

Amy: Don't forget the 60 Jumbo Chili Dogs you ate, mister.

Sonic: Aw come on, you're STILL mad about that?!

Amy: I had plans for that chili, and you knew it, so yes, I am still mad about it! And you STILL owe me a night out because of it!

Sonic: I know, I know but…

Amy puts a hand up, smiling.

Amy: I know. You don't have to say anything. Just remember that when I recover from this, okay?

Sonic: You bet, Amy.

Sonic gave his signature thumbs up, smiling at Amy. Just then his phone rang, the ringtone was "Never Turn Back" by Crush 40.

Sonic: Oop, Shadow's calling.

Amy: Go ahead, I'll get dinner started. It won't be anything super fancy… Unless I can convince Cream to pop by? Hmmmm…

Sonic shook his head as he walked outside to the front porch, sitting down and answering his phone.

Sonic: Yo.

Shadow: The bad news just got worse; Dr Eggman is in the hospital.

Sonic: That doesn't sound like bad news… Cardiac arrest?

Shadow: No, someone breached his lab and beat him within an inch of his life. He's got 24 broken bones, and severe organ damage.

Sonic sat in silence upon hearing this. He knows Shadow wouldn't go THAT far to bring Eggman to near death, or even bring Eggman to near death PERIOD. He stopped 4 years ago…

Sonic: Aside from the injuries you said, is he okay?

Shadow: He's alive. Barely.

Sonic: Okay… I don't like Eggman, but I don't wish the worst on him… So where are you now? You need my help?

Shadow: Not yet, no. If I do, I'll let you know.

Sonic: Okay. Thanks for the heads up Shadow.

Shadow: Keep your guard up, Sonic. Whoever did this could target someone in our group next.

Sonic: Got it.

Sonic hung up, putting his phone back in his coat pocket. He went back in his house, sniffing the air as he smelled Amy heating up some leftovers. He went to the kitchen to find her making a small salad for herself, and she had gotten soms chili fixings out for Sonic.

Sonic: Leftover night, right.

Amy: Not so much for me. Gotta watch what I eat.

Sonic: Yeah. Oh, right. Did Nightshade drop by?

Amy: Mhm. She said the baby is perfectly healthy. Still no idea what gender though.

Sonic: Damn… Ah well, at least everything's fine.

Sonic started cooking up his signature chili, moving around the kitchen at high speed while he made it, but also being mindful that Amy was in there too. While he worked, he washed what he used and put it away. Once the chili was in the pot, he stirred it while whistling "Endless Possibilities" to himself. Soon after, Amy joined in, and she made a motion, as if she wanted to do a dance.

Sonic just smirked before he set his phone up to a Bluetooth speaker, and played an acoustic cover of the same song they whistled, set his chili on low temperature then took her hand, dancing with her.

Sonic: This is my escape. I'm running through this world, and I'm not looking back.

Amy: And I know I can go where no one's ever gone, and I'm not looking back.

Both: But how will I know when I get there? And how will I know when to leave? We all gotta start from somewhere, and it's right there for me. The possibilities are never ending.

Sonic: I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach, endless possibility!

Amy: I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me, now I feel so free!

Both: Endless Possibility!

Sonic spun Amy around, continuing his gentle dance with her before he stood behind her, hands on her hips. She smiles as he lifts her up, holding her there, and she spreads her arms and legs out.

Amy: And so I'll carry on! My time to shine has come, I feel it!

Sonic: As fast as I can go! Straight to the top, I know you'll see it!

Both: So please wake me up, when I get there! It feels like I'm lost in a dream! I know in my heart that it's MY time! And I already see! The possibilities are never ending!

Sonic: I see it, I see it! And now it's all within my reach, endless possibility!

Amy: I see it, I see it now! It's always been inside of me! And now I feel so free!

Both: Endless Possibility!

Sonic carefully brought Amy back down, and then they spun away from each other, smirking.

Amy: Drop that smile, cuz you're beaten again!

Sonic: No this is where my journey BEGINS!

Amy pretended to have a worried look on her face as Sonic proceeded to fall backwards.

Amy: Don't lose your speed! You're losing your flow!

Sonic: But inside me is a power you'll never know!

Amy: Then let it out, it's inside you!

Both: Better all stand back, CUZ I'M COMING THROUGH!!

Sonic jumps back up, pretending to do the guitar solo. Or what would have been the guitar solo if it was the original version. He still did it, cuz he knew Amy loved to see him being a dork. Plus he got all the notes and their tones down.

Sonic: I see it, I see it. And now it's all within my reach.

Amy: I see it, I see it now. It's always been inside of me.

Both: I see it, I see it! And now it's all within my reach, endless possibility! I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me! And now I feel so free! Endless possibility!

Sonic: Endless Possibility!

Amy: Endless Possibility!

Sonic: Endlessly Possibility!

Both: Endless Possibility!

The two got close to each other again, smiling at eachother. Sonic loved moments like this. If Amy wasn't pregnant, they would have gotten crazy with dancing, especially if Sonic had played the original version of Endless Possibility. He chose the acoustic version on purpose, because the song was still hype, and had a deeper meaning, but the tone needed to be gentle, much like the dance.

The two shared a brief kiss before Sonic realized his chili was nearly burning!

Sonic: Ah shit!

Sonic lets go of Amy and zips over, managing to save his chili in time. He wipes his forehead.

Sonic: Whew. Perfect save.

Amy: Nice one, hun.

Sonic zips over to the fridge and gets some hot dogs out, then throws them in the microwave to get them hot and ready while he preps the hoagies.

Once he got his dinner ready, he eagerly chowed down while Amy ate her salad. Her day was as bright as it could be. Nothing could ruin it.

… Right?

\\I have a problem if I can type up the ENTIRE lyrics for Endless Possibilities from MEMORY. It's a good song for a decent game, don't @ me. Leave ya thoughts!
