Before the third of three parts of this story start, I want to address one thing.

GameMaker 35: It'll happen during this chapter. Work with me!

Chapter 3: Hearts of the Rose

"So Tails likes me… but… how?" Amy asked, confused.

"HE DIDN'T TELL ME! Sonic, please hand me that large stone over there." I said, pointing to said stone.

He obligingly handed it to me. I started to beat myself senseless with it.

"WHY…MUST…I…BE…CURSED…Ow… WITH…. OW THAT SMARTS… STUPIDITY AT TIMES!" I shouted, beating myself senseless with each word. "HE TOLD ME TO KEEP IT A SECRET… it keeps throbbing… BUT I DID IT ANYWAY!"

"Well, as much as I hate to say it, I think I'm falling head over heels for him." Amy said.

"Well, as a guy in Poland once said: 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?'" I asked.

"Alright."

"ALRIGHT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HELL TO THINK ANYMORE! Oh well, see you both at the party." I said, stumbling away to my house.

My room, 4:15 PM

Countdown: 15 minutes

How do I get myself into these messes? First, I tell Crash's secret, then I tell Shadow's secret… he fell into a toilet. I still remember the wedgie… I'M STILL CHAFING! And now, I tell Tails' Secret. What next? This is on par with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty with weird twists coming up here and there. Seriously, how do I go through?

I could only think as I lay out on the bed, still maintaining consciousness.

"I may as well go. I mean, the dream won't come true… will it?" I asked myself.

My mom started to notice I was going somewhere, and asked: "Off to find a date?"

"No, I've got a friend to save from himself." I ran out at the usual speed. I rounded the corner, and tripped over something.

"OWWWWWW! Who did that?" I asked, getting up, and I see Shadow's leg sticking out.

"See you next fall." he says, skating off to join the party.

"HEY. DAMN YOU SHADOW! That's my line…" I said, running after him.

Amy's house, 4:30 PM

Who's going to win?

Who's going to be the lucky person…?

The words played over and over in my mind as the ball spun repeatedly around and around. I remembered: she and the one lucky boy would get trapped in a closet for four minutes. I was the only one excluded, and I thanked my own stars for that. The ball stopped. Amy reached in.

"And the winner is…" Amy began, and my mind went into overdrive.

Here it comes… Is it going to be…?

"Tails!"

Yep, it indeed was him!

"Me? Really? Well, then…" Tails began, suddenly grabbing me by the collar. My mind went into overdrive again.

Oh my god… they're going to… I only let her know Tails loved her and they're already going to kiss… shouldn't God be their witness? I NEED AN ADULT! I NEED AN ADULT!

"What the hell are you doing Tails?" The words came out of my mouth, as he stuffed me into the corner of "The Closet".

"I need someone to witness. I know that doesn't sound right."

"Whatever."

Just then they walked in. After a minute of staring into each other's eyes, they kissed… long and passionate, the world seeming to melt around them. I felt as though I was going to be sick. Four minutes had come and went, slow as hell, but long enough for them. They walked out, still kissing in their liplock, the world theirs.

I was going to be sick. With one hand clamped over my mouth, I made a frantic dash for the bathroom.

I unloaded my gallons of fresh barf down the toilet, and was subsequently dazed as a result. I couldn't let anyone know I was vomiting up my guts, so I escaped from the window.

I ran home, bolted in the door, and lay out on the bed again. I had enjoyed setting the two up. If Tails had told her himself, I wouldn't be sick to my stomach, boiling over with bile. But as I always say, fate is fate.

I ate dinner, and went to bed soon after.

THE NEXT MORNING, TAILS' RESIDENCE

I just remain a virtue of love. Nothing more. I will never be in love.

I could think that as I dashed to Tails' house, fully intent on asking him how it went with Amy. I stopped to a screeching halt, outside the door, and opened it. I saw them kissing once again. I sighed, knowing they would be married soon…

Do you think there should be an epilogue, set 10 years in the future? I think so! R&R VIEWERS!
