To: Jim the monkey From: Amy Rose Subject: Thanks so much
Really Jim…thanks a lot for the coupon. I think a nice massage is just what I needed.
I have to show you the picture of me and Sophie with the facials, we look like aliens! I guess it's worth it to look like complete freaks for a few minutes though, the results were amazing…our faces are still glowing.
Thanks again,
Amy
To: Amy Rose From: Jim the funky monkey Subject: No problem
You needed it way more than I did.
Oh, and don't worry about this CPD thing or whatever it is, you're not going to battle this thing all alone so you just sit tight sweet cheeks! (a/n: just for the record he's not trying to hit on Amy)
Jim 0."
To: Amy Rose From: Sophie the cat Subject: I got it
I just thought of a perfect song for me and Steve…Lady Marmalade! I love that song so if he doesn't like it he'll just have to deal.
My nose is all tingly from yesterday's facial :)
Sophie
To: Sophie the cat From: Amy Rose Subject: Koolio
I remember that song! I haven't heard it like forever…that's cool. I'm sure Steve will be fine with whatever song you like, he's just that kind of guy who will go with anything…that's so sweet.
My nose is tingly too :)

Journal entry 13, Amy Rose

8:03pm
I've been good so far with the meds…no missed doses yet. I think they're helping, my cough doesn't come on as often now, that must be a good sign right?Today on my lunch hour I stepped outside to get some air and I saw a lady wearing this skimpy little tank top with these teeny tiny little shorts that were like practically sinking into her crack…yeah, it was pretty scary. And it's not like she was heavy or anything but that outfit must have made her look at least seven pounds more than what she actually is. On top of that her bra straps were showing…now this is just a growing epidemic that must be stopped. I mean, I could never walk out of the house like that; I'd be mortified…after all, isn't that why they're called underwear meaning they're supposed to be underneath what you're wearing.
Yeah…so…that's my day.
To: Amy Rose From: Cream and Cheese Subject: Are you okay?
I hope you aren't angry, but Tails told me you were really sick. How are you feeling? My mama says if you need anything you just call.
If you want to you can come over later, we can watch Fox and the Hound (a/n: I love that movie, it's so cute!). We'll have plenty of popcorn and non caffeinated sodas.
Please get better soon,
Cream and Cheese
To: Cream and Cheese From: Amy Rose Subject: Aw Cream,
Of course I'm not angry silly! It's flattering to have friends that care about me so much…I can always count on you guys.
Sure I'll come over, do you need me to bring anything? Jelly beans? I don't really know why there are so many of those in my cabinet. I'll bring over…some cheesecake.
See ya say around seven?
Amy
To: Amy Rose From: Cream and Cheese Subject: Okay then
I'll see you at seven. And Amy…I'm so glad we're friends!
Cheese says hello and mother too.
Cream and Cheese
Normal Pov:
Amy skipped over to Cream's house little red riding hood style, a bright smile on her face all the way. Under her breath she silently hummed a tune from The Wizard of Oz.
Okay…just kidding.
Amy was smiling on the way to Cream's house, but not skipping…more like semi power walking. She also wasn't humming a tune from The Wizard of Oz; instead she was mumbling words to The Buttercup Song.
As soon as Cream opened the door a bright smile took form on her face as well.
"Hello Amy," Cream greeted cheerfully. Amy nodded, "Hi Cream." Amy placed the box of strawberry cheesecake on the kitchen counter and then met Cream in the living room. Cream's living room was not very different from Amy's own…small, yet quaint. Not a huge screen television, but still big enough for them to enjoy the movie. Cream's mother bid the girls a temporary farewell as she left to do some grocery shopping.
Amy and Cream sat next to each other on a small tannish colored sofa, the popcorn bowl on a small coffee table in front of them. Amy spent most of the movie with her tongue fidgeting around in her mouth trying to free the popcorn kernels which had become embedded in her teeth (a/n: I hate when that happens).
Just as they were getting to the part where Todd the fox encounters the not so friendly bear, there was a knock on the door. Amy grabbed the remote and hit the pause button as Cream got up to answer the door.
It was Tails. "Hiya Cream." In his hands was a large bouquet of daisies. Cream gasped slightly at the sight of the flowers (she had to assume they were for her…makes perfect sense). Tails glanced behind Cream and saw Amy. He muttered nervously, "Oh, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you…I could leave if you want."
Amy walked over to them, "It's cool Tails. The movie was almost over anyway." Tails relaxed a little, "Oh…well, I was just going to ask Cream if she wanted to…uh, I just wanted to ask Cream something." He glanced at Cream seeking a response, but her expression was relatively blank.
Cream looked to Amy who smiled, "Go on Cream, we can finish the movie another time." Cream smiled gratefully then, "Are you sure Amy?" Amy nodded a yes, "Sure…and I can watch Cheese for you." Cream stepped outside next to Tails, "Thanks Amy." Tails nodded thanks as well. Amy waved them a goodbye as they walked off toward a quiet road. She said to Cheese, "We better put these in a vase."
Still Normal Pov:
The beginning of April was beginning to show among all the flowers which were nearly bloomed. Both Tails and Cream's cheeks were flushed pink and they walked slowly with their hands behind their backs. Tails took a deep breath when he thought he had enough composure to speak, "Uh…Cream? I been thinking and I think we make really good friends and all, but lately I've been thinking that just maybe…we could be…"
Tails attempts again, "...Maybe we could be something more." Cream's face is now a really interesting shade of reddish pink. She manages only to whisper, "Oh…" Tails takes Cream's hand, "Cream…what I'm trying to say is…will you be my girlfriend?"
(a/n: They're older inthis story, I would never make them this intimate if they were only like 8 and 6 or whatever age they are; Tails-14, Cream-13)
After a brief moment of slight disorientation at Tails' question Cream kisses him on the cheek and says, "I'd love to be your girlfriend Tails."
The two spend the rest of the daylight gazing at the sinking sun and the rising moon. As the first stars begin to twinkle and the nightingale begins to crow, Tails says to Cream, "I guess we better head back soon." Cream nods and they begin their way back holding hands all the way home.
a/n: I forgot to mention this earlier, but if you're wondering where I got the idea for the email format from, I actually got it from a book called The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot. I may have borrowed the format, but I promise you that the story line is all original. Most of it is actually inspired by things that actually happened to me in the past…I don't have COPD though…that's just for the story.
