Hey, y'all! Random question before we get to the chapter: I'm not the only one who is really annoyed with the Archie comics right now? Right? Because I'm seriously wishing/waiting for the chaos stinking, freakin' werehog arch to be over already…. Like I want to strangle someone. Let's just add a purple Knuckles in the mix and giant fake master emeralds, throw in Team Dark and break the world apart! Sorry, I needed to vent. Comments!

juancastri11: ... Makes sense. If it helps, Tails will not be getting replaced or anything. In fact (*spoiler alert*). If you want the spoiler, I'll PM you. Just let me know.

Guest: RIGHT?

Autumn: Thanks! Have a great weekend too!

This is the first official chapter of Sonamy. I know it has come up in the previous chapters, but this is the first 'official' one. Hope you enjoy.

Sonic's POV:

"Sonic, you really need to stop. I'm fine!" Tails pushed me away, a little rougher than usual.

I guess that I had been a little more protective and antsy. But hey! My brother had almost died yesterday! It sort of put things in perspective all over again. With a small sigh, I sat down on the faded, old couch and put the roll of bandages on the coffee table. "Sorry, bro. It's just that-"

Tails smiled at me. "I know, I know. I was scared too." He sat down next to me and gave me a gentle punch, "I survived. We survived. Let's move on."

I smirked and ruffled his fur, "What ever happened to that sarcastic, angry, seven-year-old I had to rescue all those years ago?"

"Angry? I was not angry."

"Right. And I'm not blue and spiny."

We exchanged a grin. Tails leaned forward and scooped up the remote, turning the TV onto the news. The coverage was mainly over yesterday's attack. The two of us sat in companionable silence for several minutes, both caught up in our own thoughts.

Carefully, Tails started to speak, "Maybe… you should… oh, I dunno… check on Amy?"

My quills stood up slightly. "Amy is fine. I don't want to intrude on… on her business."

"Sonic," Tails turned down the volume and faced me. "You honestly didn't see anything wrong with her? I mean, she looked pretty shaken to me."

"She said that she was fine."

He rolled his eyes, "Rule number one with girls, bro. When they say they're fine, they are not fine. Even I know that, and I'm not even twelve yet."

Seriously? What did Tails want from me? It wasn't that I wasn't concerned about her, it was just… I had another 'choose between Tails and Amy' moment, and last time it had been Amy. I wasn't sure what Tails had gone through and I wanted to be there for him. So I voiced my concerns, Tails immediately berating me for doing so.

"Honestly, Sonic I'm fine. Shadow showed up, destroyed a few robots, teleported in, teleported me out, and we left with more than a minute left of time. With a three minute timer, one minute was an eternity. How much time did you have left?"

A little sheepishly, I rubbed the back of my neck. "Um… none?"

Tails looked at the ceiling, exasperated. "Can you believe this guy?" he questioned no one in particular.

"What? What did I do?"

"Sonic," he pointed at himself, "I made it out with a minute to spare. No crazy mental scarring from that. Amy had zero seconds, and you expect her to be fine?"

"...Yes?"

"You really are an idiot, aren't cha?"

Does everyone bring this up? "Alright, alright. You win, bro. I'll go check on her."

"Thank you." Tails stood up and stretched. "I'll be in my workshop. The Tornado needs a lot of repairs." Then the fox left me alone with my thoughts.

It took me an hour to finally work up the courage to run over to Vanilla's. I mean, Amy was usually the comforter. The person who was strong for Cream and anyone else. But her broken and needing the picking up? How the Chaos am I supposed to comfort… well, her?

Vanilla answered the door, with her usual smile. "Ah, Sonic. How are you?"

"I'm good." I smiled back and tried to peer behind her, "Is Amy home?"

"She's out back." The rabbit lowered her voice and her smile faded slightly, "I'm a little worried about her. Maybe you can cheer her up?"

"I'll try. Thanks, Miss Vanilla." I nodded to her and stepped off the front porch. Very carefully, I wandered around the side of the house and creaked the gate door open. When I reached the back porch, I peered around the corner.

Amy was sitting on a porch swing, staring off into the distance with her arms hanging loosely at her sides. The swing was swaying slightly in the breeze, making small, faint squeaks with each movement. Amy's hair flowed when any strong enough gust came by. As I got closer, I could hear her mumbling to herself ever so softly.

Immediately, I felt a little awkward and intrusive. Maybe I should come back later… I started to back away silently.

Apparently I wasn't as quiet as I thought.

Amy whirled around, startled.

I gave a timid wave, "Um… hey. Sorry to interrupt. I can come back later."

Amy cracked a smile, "No, you're fine." She patted the empty spot next to her.

For once I walked very slowly, sort of timidly, towards the pink hedgehog. I stepped up the porch steps and sat down on the swing, interrupting the pleasant sway.

Neither of us spoke at first, but sat in companionable silence. Finally, I asked, "So… How're you doing?"

If I had thought Amy was still alright, then I was proved wrong. She didn't say anything, but suddenly burst into loud, blubbery tears. She buried her face in her hands and just cried.

Not sure what else to do, I hesitantly wrapped my arm around her.

I'm not really sure how long we sat like that, but eventually Amy calmed down enough and sat up straight. "S-sorry. I-I just-" She hiccupped and wiped away a stray tear, "Thanks."

"Do you… um, wanna talk about it?" I asked as gently as possible.

Amy wiped away the final tears and nodded slowly. "Well… Oh, where do I start?"

Not really sure what else to do, I put my hand on her shoulder. "At the beginning. That's always the best place to start."

"Alright," she took a deep breath and started, "When Robotnik c-came out of the woods, I didn't really panic. I mean, he's pretty easy to handle. Then Metal came out of nowhere and everything… everything went... black. Even after I woke up, strapped down to that table, I didn't freak out too much. Yeah, I was a little startled by Metal, but…" Amy trailed off and remained silent for a moment, just thinking. "I don't know. You always came for me, and I knew you'd come again… even if I hate being the damsel in distress, which I always seem to end up as," she added a bit grudgingly. "And then, Robotnik came onto this holoscreen and told me exactly what was going to happen. You got to choose between saving Tails' life… or mine." Amy clasped her hands together and placed them in her lap.

After a few minutes of silence, I hesitantly put my hand over hers. "Go on."

She gave a small smile and took a breath, "Well, obviously I knew you'd go after Tails. I mean, he's your brother. In fact, I wanted you to get Tails. He's younger than me, after all. So I just sort of accepted that I was going to…you know."

To be completely honest, I was a little shocked to hear Amy talking like this. I mean, I knew that she'd thought I'd go after Tails, but this…

"It didn't really hit me until the timer actually started. Then I kinda started to freak. But then you showed up and told me Shadow was helping and I felt really relieved. And you know what happened next…"

I nodded slowly. "Even with me trying to rescue you, we still almost…"

"Died." Amy finished bitterly.

The wind picked up slightly and the swing gave an especially loud squeak. Neither of us really seemed to have anything to say

Finally, I broke the silence with a forced laugh, "But here we are. Still alive! Don't be so down about it."

"That's not the point, Sonic." Amy stood up, upsetting the swing. She walked around and began to pace the patio. "Afterwards, I… I realized all of these things that I need and, and... want to do with my life. It just made me think about how fast it can all just end."

I smiled, "I know all about fast, and you're right." I stood up and walked over to the wooden beam and leaned against it, facing Amy. "But you just gotta live your life as you feel you should. Make sure you have no regrets."

Amy paused, her back to me. She fiddled with her skirt nervously, "I have a lot of regrets... and a lot of goals."

"Then you'd better get started." I smiled.

She turned around and looked a little happier, but I could tell there was still something wrong with her.

"Um… Anything else?" I asked.

Amy's expression grew a little more concerned. "It'll sound stupid."

"No it won't. Tell me."

"Well…" she looked at her hands and suddenly spoke in a rush, "Howfarwillhego?"

"Um… As I have told Tails, I run fast, I don't hear fast. Can you repeat that? Slowly?"

Amy took a shaky breath, "Robotnik… how far will he go? I mean, I know he attacks cities and people... die every once in a while, but it's always indirectly. He never points a gun at their head or threatens to electrocute everyone to death. But- maybe I'm wrong…" She paused and looked up, her face hard and determined, "You've known Robotnik the longest. You know his limits. How far will he go, Sonic?"

I shifted nervously on my feet and avoided eye contact. "Um… well, I-"

"Sonic, you don't have to go in detail. Just tell me," she turned around and looked out across the backyard, leaning against the porch railing. "Will he… will he kill?"

My mind started racing around. Thoughts still spinning, I walked over to where Amy stood. "You're right. I have seen his limit... and the answer is yes. He will. He's done it before, and I guarantee he'll do it again."

Amy stared at me, the fear in her eyes prominent.

I put my arm around her shoulder, "Hey, you don't have to keep fighting with us if you don't want to. I completely understand if you want to drop out of the team. It's your choice to fight. Me?… I don't have a choice."

"Of course you have a choice!" Amy whirled around, pushing me away. "We all have a choice!"

"Woah, calm down Amy! It's not that bad."

"Not bad!" she shrieked. "Sonic, I don't know if you've noticed, but we almost died yesterday! I can't believe that you're just, just... brushing that aside!"

"Amy, we 'almost die' like every other week."

"Not. Like. This!" She jabbed her finger at me. "He planned, he calculated, he prepared for everything! If Shadow hadn't been there-"

I held up my hand to stop her, "If he hadn't. If. We can't focus on what could have happened, otherwise it'll tear us apart. To stay on track, we just gotta move forward without looking back."

Amy stared at me for a moment, "That...was surprisingly wise advice."

"Always the tone of surprise. I may be an idiot, but I'm not stupid." I smiled. "Someone used to tell me that when I was younger."

Luckily, she didn't press for the identity of the sage, but gave a small smile. "Sorry, it's just... if you died, and I wasn't there…" Amy trailed off, lost in thought.

"It wouldn't be your fault. It's my choice to fight Robotnik. If I die, no matter how it happens, it was my choice and my fault. No one else's. You got that?" I rested my hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.

With a small nod she replied, "Yes."

Silence filled the air for a few more moments. Chaos, she had pretty eyes…

"You can let go of me now."

Blushing, I took my hands away and turned back towards the backyard. Awkwardly, I shuffled my feet and took a few breaths. "Well, um, I guess I should get going, or… y'know."

Amy looked at her hands, "Sonic, before you go… can I ask one more thing?"

"You just did." I said, grinning.

I received a death glare and decided to quit joking around. "I mean, of course."

"Why are you so determined to stop Robotnik? I mean, GUN could cover it… or at least I think they could. They have the military power, and Shadow and the rest of Team Dark would still fight. But you keep going out there and fighting. Why?"

Why did she have to ask that? I cleared my throat and tried to gather my thoughts. "Well… I have seen Robotnik's limits. I've seen the horror that he can create first-hand. I was really little when Robotnik entered my life." I closed my eyes, images of my dead family flashing in my mind. "I don't want that kind of pain to destroy anyone else's life."

Amy placed her hand on my shoulder, and I felt a pleasant tingling where her palm touched. She smiled kindly up at me, her eyes piercing mine. I could feel my forehead dampening with sweat; I've never stood this close to her before, not when it wasn't a life-or-death situation. I could stare into those eyes forever. Those beautiful green eyes...

"Is that what happened to you?" she asked softly, barely audible. The moment broke. Briefly I considered spilling to her everything that had happened to me: Robotnik tearing apart my family, those years I spent begging, the day I finally decided to stand up to Robotnik… no. No… I couldn't. This was one secret I had to keep to myself

Silence. Then I pulled myself together. "Well, I should get going." I said, trying to sound amiable. "Tails might need help… uh, reattaching that... wing. Yeah." I started down the porch stairs, but paused on the second step, looking back at Amy. Her smile was fading fast, and I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I felt bad; I didn't want that moment to end, and I could tell that she didn't either. But I tried to shrug it off, reignite the sense of cheerful company. "Besides, didn't you say you wanted to fix some things you regret? Or want to do in life?"

Amy smiled weakly. "Yeah, I guess there is."

"Well, now's as good a time as any to start."

"Alright. Here's the first thing," Amy leaned forward and gently kissed me on the check. Nothing crazy, but a sweet simple sign of affection; all the same, an electrifying sensation crept its way up my cheek, striking me immobile "Thanks for everything." Blushing furiously, Amy turned around and ran inside.

I stared at the closed door, slowly reaching up to touch the spot where she had kissed me. I felt my face redden, but couldn't help the grin creeping up the sides of my face. I felt like dancing and banging my head against a tree at the same time..

Next door, an explosion was heard from the workshop that snapped me out of my trance..

Chaos, if Tails destroyed that plane...

And done!

I really hoped you enjoyed it. Now let me point out right now, any 'romance' is going to be rated PG. Got it?

Another thing: to those of you who hate all of the kissing and holding hands, don't worry. In this story we will focus on the five different love languages. To those of you who don't know what the five languages of love are...well here ya go.

1. Physical Touch (that would be hugs and kisses)

2. Words of Affirmation (compliments and uplifting words)

3. Acts of Service (self-explanatory)

4. Gifts (giving gifts and receiving gifts)

5. Quality Time (self-explanatory)

Sonic and Amy will be mainly Acts of Service and Words of Affirmation. So you don't have to worry about them kissing the whole time. (No one wants to read that.) Acts of Service will be either saving one another's life or just small things like helping in the garden or cooking a meal (we'll get to that soon). Words of Affirmation will be similar to the conversation that they had in this chapter. Just comforting one another and trying to bring the other up. Add in a few compliments and ta-da!

I'll tell you the other's love languages when it comes up… which shouldn't be too far away. Yay!

Also, I figured out major plot hole for near the end of the story, so you don't need to worry about me getting stuck on writer's block. Halo and I can't wait to get there...it's going to be a while.

Anyway, Halo and I have just been on fire the past few days! (We've been typing chapters overlapping each other or at the same time, if you will). But unfortunately, this is the last chapter that we have prepare now so you may have to wait a few days. Probably ready next Friday? I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Please Review!

(Halo- Ah, young love. So sweet it's giving me cavities. But in a good way!)
