Authors Note: Just thought I'd let you guys know that the next few chapters may not be out for a little while because I'll be on vacation. I promise I won't forget about the story and will update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading, and don't ever cross the street without looking both ways.


Normal Pov:

Sonic and Amy are lucky enough to find a cozy booth in the diner despite the fact that it was during busiest hours. Neither of them is particularly interested in the food and they barely even notice the waiter bring it to them.

Amy picks at her waffles with a fork while Sonic stops from eating to survey her strange behavior. "Not hungry?" Amy looks up at him and shrugs slightly, "I guess not." Amy knew she had to tell Sonic what was tormenting her mind, but couldn't think of a way to initiate the conversation. Sonic attempts to break the ice, "Guess who I ran into today?" He waits for Amy to guess, but she doesn't. Sonic answers for her, "That clowny cat Big. I literally ran right into'm; he just came out of nowhere." Amy giggles silently, briefly, and then her eyes turn serious again. Sonic continues in attempt to fill the silent void, "Actually, it was my fault. I was running against the traffic. You know what's ironic though? The wrong way sign was the wrong way; it was upside down. So really, it wasn't even my fault." Amy tries to look like she's been paying attention, but cannot suppress the somber look on her face. Sonic finally asks, "Hey, are you okay Ames?" Amy mumbles, "I'm…it's just…"

Sonic infers, "Oh, I'll bet you're stressed about all these wedding plans. Don't worry Amy, everything will come together. Hey, before you know it you'll be walking down that aisle just like you've always dreamed." Amy suddenly breaks into tears, plowing her hands into her face. Sonic reaches over to pat her shoulder. "Amy, what's wrong? We're gonna have a great wedding. There's no reason to cry." Amy elevates her head so she can look at Sonic. She sniffs, "I'm getting worse Sonic." Sonic pulls back, "What? Amy what are you talking abo—"

Amy interrupts, "My pulmonary disease, it's getting worse." Sonic shakes his head disbelieving, "But Amy, how would you know? Your doctor's appointment isn't until next week." Amy responds in a speaky voice, "I can feel it getting worse every time I cough." After a pause she adds, "At first I thought I just had to give the medicine some time to work…but now I'm really getting scared." Sonic moves over to her side of the booth, slipping a protective around her. She sniffs again, "What if…I don't even make it to our wedding?" Sonic pushes her teasingly, "Don't say things like that. Of course you'll have a wedding…you've only wanted this for about half your life." Sonic pulls her into his chest and whispers, "Everything's gonna be fine." Though tears are still falling out of Amy's eyes uncontrollably, there is a smile on her face. It's much like a sun shower in the summer time.

Sonic looks up at the clock, "Come on. I'd better get you back to work before that panther tracks us down." With that, Sonic speeds off, leaving quite a nice tip for there unnoticed serviceman.

During their run Amy suddenly says,"Oh, Sonic? The wedding planner wants to meet us tonight...she wants our team to start next week." Sonic is a little taken back by the short notice, "Tonight? Next week? Well, I guess that'd be alright, but don't you think it's a little too soon?" Amy replies, "It is pretty sudden, but I just thought…maybe it's supposed to be that way." Sonic nods his approval, "Okay, but we better do this meeting thing at your house. Mine is an eye sore." Amy giggles, "It's a deal."


To: Rouge the bat From: Amy Rose Subject: Don't you think

you're being a little hard on Knuckles. I mean, it was only a stupid fight.

I'm just saying this because you two make sweet team, no matter how incompatible you think you are. I would hate for guys to end it like this.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just trying to be a good friend,

Amy


To: Amy Rose From: Rouge the bat Subject: I suppose

I was a teensy bit harsh on the boy. I was just hoping to see him put in a little more…effort. And I don't mean that in a dirty way, I mean more effort to deserve having me as his girl. You know what I mean?

Is that so much to ask?

Rouge


To: Rouge the bat From: Amy Rose Subject: I get what you mean

Maybe he'll try a little harder if he knows you want him to. Guys get easily confused with these situations; you just gotta help him out a little bit.

That should make him come around,

Amy


Normal Pov:

As a tired Knuckles thumps up the steps to Sonic's house, his blue friend comes out to greet him."Hey buddy, looks like you got a present."

Knuckles scratches his head, "Huh?" Sonic hands him a bouquet of flowers, "I never knew it was socially correct for a girl to send a guy flowers. Maybe she wants a truce." Knuckles grabs the bouquet from Sonic and fumbles for the card. It reads: Peace? On the back of the card, a key is taped down to it. Knuckles rips it off and brings it closer to his face, as if trying to read any fine print.

Finally, he chuckles, "Ha, I knew she'd come around. That woman can't resist me." Knuckles is about to turn and leave but Sonic intercepts his path, "Don't go over there to gloat. She sent you these to say she still wants you, but she's also telling you this is another chance, so don't blow it." Knuckles walks around Sonic before replying, "Thanks for the tip Romeo."

Sonic rolls his eyes and takes off towards Amy's house.
