Chapter Three

Tails quietly exited his workshop so not to wake the other occupant of the house. Sonic didn't get to sleep until the early hours; he couldn't sleep very well. Sonic had told the little fox that Amy's words were ringing through his head repeatedly and the echoing was keeping the young hedgehog awake. Tails felt sorry for his best friend, but he couldn't blame Amy for moving on. When it came to the opposite sex; Sonic had no clue. Not to mention his carefree spirit and arrogance stopped him from saying what he really wanted to say. Tails knew that if he couldn't get through to Amy, he'd have to enlist help from the others... Not that Knuckles or Shadow knew anything about the current situation. Not that Amy would have told them anything; as close to Shadow as she was, something's are better kept secret and Knuckles was too dense to realise anything to do with relationships, the guy couldn't even see that a certain bat was constantly trying to get his attention. Not that Rouge needed to try. Tails kept walking, his mind working out how he was going to get Amy to listen to him; without the threat of "I'll tell Shadow" Tails knew Shadow would help him if he mentioned Amy's name; it was common knowledge he had a soft spot for her. Tails hurried to Amy's, he didn't like thinking about Shadow; Tails still believed that he could snap at anytime.

By the time Tails arrived at Amy's house; his mind had gone completely blank. Anything he had thought of to say to her had vanished within three seconds. The young genius' ears drooped. Without something to say, Amy would chew him up then spit him out. Tails would never admit to anyone that he was slightly scared of Amy's temper and more importantly her Piko Piko hammer. He raised his gloved hand to knock on the door, but as his knuckle were about to tap on the wooden surface the door opened. Tails jumped at the unexpected movement of the door. The little fox cursed himself for being so scared. Amy wasn't going to be that bad.

"Amy?" He called into the house; in reply he got a black bag thrown in his direction. Tails jumped out of the way and looked at the projectile. A rip in the bag let Tails see what was in there, the mass of blue spikes was a dead give away to what the rose hedgehog was doing. Tails hesitantly walked in to Amy's front room; where he found her listening to her MP3 player tidying, dusting and dancing. Tails couldn't help but chuckle slightly; he span his tails and lifted himself off of the floor. He hovered over to Amy and tapped her on the shoulder. Amy span in shock and lashed out with the duster she had in her hand. Dust wafted into the air and the young fox had a coughing attack. After Tails had over come the coughing he looked at the pink hedgehog; a scowl was on her face and her hands were on her hips, he dropped down and sat on her sofa sheepishly

"Tails?" She asked irritably. Tails cringed, he'd blown it.

"I heard what happened" He said quickly "Sonic's upset about it"

"He is?" Amy asked questionably "Or did he tell you to come and see me to try and get something out of me?" Tails frowned a little; Amy was being irrational.

"No. I came by myself, Sonic doesn't know I'm here" He replied. Amy folded her arms in a pout at being wrong. "I saw the black bags outside. What's going on Amy?" He asked softly. Amy looked at the young fox, sighed and sat opposite him

"I've had it up to here Tails" She said motioning with her hand on her forehead to indicate where 'here' was" He doesn't like me the way I like him and I've got to come to terms with that"

"He does like you Amy" Tails countered but Amy waved her hand dismissively.

"Don't lie to me Tails" She frowned. "I'm trying to move on. Sonic doesn't love me; so I'm going to find someone who does" Tails watched as she placed a new picture on the living room coffee table. It was of a certain black and red hedgehog. Tails looked up at Amy in shock.

"Shadow!" He said letting the shock rule his voice "Why him?" Amy couldn't help but laugh at the gawping face of the little fox.

"No silly!" She smiled; Tails always managed to make her laugh unintentionally. "Shadow is just a friend" Amy meant what she said; she and Shadow were just friends, but he sure is handsome. Tails looked at the pink hedgehog for awhile before he sighed.

"Sonic doesn't want to lose your friendship Amy" He said changing the subject, which made Amy's smile disappear.

"I don't want to lose his friendship either... It's just..." she paused to sigh heavily "Sonic is carefree; he does what he wants when he wants. No one can tie him down. I've tried for years and I'm giving up. I've tried almost everything; nothing works! I've just had enough" Tails nodded in understanding "I still love him Tails; don't ever deny that, but it's going nowhere, fast. I've just given up chasing him"

"Amy Sonic doesn't mind you chasing him, he likes the attention..."

"Exactly" Amy's fiery reply interrupted "He likes the attention to increase his ego!" Tails sighed sadly; Amy wasn't going to listen to him. He couldn't tell Sonic's best kept secret to her, that was disrespectful to his best friend, but he had to say something to make her think about what she was doing.

"Amy, at least explain to him why you are doing this. Sonic isn't happy and I know you aren't. You two need to talk" Tails suggested forcefully. Amy frowned slightly. Did Tails not hear a word she said?

"I don't want to see him. I want to get over him. I'm not a doormat Tails, I have feelings and he has messed with them for the last time" Amy stood and walked away from where she was sat with the little fox. Tails watched her leave her living room, he dared not follow her, she was angry and when Amy was angry; the world knew about it. Coming to terms that both Amy and Sonic were hard-headed fools; Tails stood and walked to the door, he turned to the room

"Amy, I'm going to have the same conversation with Sonic, just so you know I wasn't just here to complain at you" He half shouted, half said in the general direction she had gone, before he opened the door and walked out into the morning sunshine. Amy appeared at the door of the kitchen; tears falling down her cheeks. She wasn't sure why she had opened up to Tails, but she now felt better and ready to move on.
