a/n: I'm sorry it took so long…I was either too busy, or just being lazy. I know this chapter is kind of short, but just forget about that. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
To: Amy Rose From: Sophie the cat Subject: Siblings
Well, my brother has such impeccable timing.
My prediction was right…he hates Steve. I don't think I ever told you about my brother Roger, did I? He's 24 which is only three years older than me, he's got smokey black fur like I do except he has white stripes.
He was trying to play the protective brother routine, but I don't need protection from him…it's not even like it would do me any good. So he's all like, "Well, I just don't think you should have to go out with some alley cat who wipes windows for a living."
I mean, so what if Steve's a janitor? Someone's gotta do it, right? Does he even know what a mess our office would be without Steve? I'll bet it would be impossible to get inside the lobby because of all the tossed aside junk. People like Steve, who do jobs that nobody wants are seriously taken for granted.
You agree, right?
Sophie
To: Sophie the cat From: Amy Rose Subject: Well, yeah
I totally agree. It's like you said, someone's got to do it.
I don't understand how anyone could not like Steve. Just yesterday, he showed me how to make an origami swan out of cardboard.
Maybe your brother just needs to get to know him a little.
Amy
To: Amy Rose From: Sophie the cat Subject: I'm not sure
You don't know my brother.
Sophie
To: Sonic the hedgehog From: Miles Tails Prower Subject: You busy?
If you're not doing anything later, you wanna come over later to play Uno with Knuckles and me?
Just wondering,
Tails
To: Miles Tails Prower From: Sonic the hedgehog Subject: Sorry buddy
I kinda promised Amy I'd come over and help rearrange some furniture. I know, but she promised she'd make some chili dogs.
Plus, I still feel kind of guilty about the fair…I know shouldn't, but I do.
This guilt thing might haunt me for the rest of my life.
Sonic
To: Sonic the hedgehog From: Miles Tails Prower Subject: Gee
I didn't realize you were so dedicated…but you know, that's what makes a good boyfriend.
I don't think you should feel obligated to do everything for her, though. I'm pretty sure she forgives you, and wouldn't want you coming over just because you thought you had to.
See ya…whenever,
Tails
To: Miles Tails Prower From: Sonic the hedgehog Subject: You're right
I guess I've finally reached boyfriend status, huh? You know, realizing that would normally freak me out…but I feel great.
Do you think I'm sick or something? Is it possible…that I just grew up a little? No…no way.
I gotta go for a run.
Sonic
To: Knuckles the echidna From: Miles Tails Prower Subject: Aww
Sonic is in love, we both know it already. I think we also both know that I win the bet. I'll expect a check by next week.
Well, you're my friend so maybe I'll give you two weeks.
Anyway, looks like it'll just be us later.
Tails
To: Miles Tails Prower From: Knuckles the echidna Subject: Just wait
Maybe Sonic is in love, but it doesn't count until they're married.
Don't expect that check until sometime in the next century.
Knux
To: Knuckels the echidna From: Miles Tails Prower Subject: Oh come on
You are such a sore loser.

I know Sonic only came for the chili dogs, but he really is being a big help. It would take at least three of me to move that couch. Thanks to Sonic, moving the furniture only took about twenty minutes…and that's only because I changed my mind a few times. I still can't believe how patient Sonic was, he didn't complain once.
Cream told me that he even turned down Tails and Knuckles to come see me…now that, is going down in historical documentation.
Moving all that furniture is making me sleepy (yawns).
To: Miles Tails Prower From: Sonic the hedgehog Subject: How's the game
Amy's pretty when she's sleeping. Not that she's not pretty when she's awake…she is, but right now she just looks so…peaceful. Do you find that with Cream too?
Who's winning the game so far?
Sonic
To: Sonic the hedgehog From: Miles Tails Prower Subject: Well, actually
Cheese is winning.
He and Cream joined in the game just after I'd picked up a wild. I was soooo close, but I'm glad it makes her happy that Cheese is winning all of my Doritos. I used to have some bingo chips, but those strangely disappeared without a trace.
Poor Knuckles, I think he has like half the pile in his hand. Well, at least he shouldn't have to pick up too many more for a while.
Cream is cute when she sleeps too. You should see how her nose twitches, I wonder why it does that?
Tails
Normal Pov:
A small beam of light forming over the horizon gives Amy's face a radiant glow. As her eyes begin to slowly reveal themselves to the morning's greeting, Amy jerks upright realizing something. Sonic who had been resting on the window sill notices this, "What's wrong?"
Amy's eyes seem to tremble with panic. "I fell asleep…" Sonic doesn't see any problem in this and shrugs. "So?" Amy looks over to him, not angrily, but worriedly. "My pills! I didn't take them last night!" Sonic gets off the window sill and rushes toward her, trying to look reassuring. "I'm sure it's fine. What can one miss hurt?"
This doesn't seem to comfort Amy very much at all, "You don't understand Sonic, all it takes is one miss. What if they won't work anymore?"
Sonic thought to himself, "Well, what does a boyfriend do in this situation?" Sonic desperately attempts to get Amy to calm down, "Hey, it's gonna be fine." Amy smiles a little, but could still feel the stress on her shoulders. She sighs, "I guess you're right. Hey, you want some breakfast? I can make us some pancakes." Sonic gives Amy a hand who is lazily trying to get up off of the couch. "Sounds great."
