Set during the events of episode 52 of Sonic X


Dear Amy Rose,

Well...what can I say? Nothing seems to fit exactly how I'm feeling right now. It's good to be home is a complete understatement.

I missed you so much Ames, and by the look on your face when I landed at your door I'm guessing the feelings mutual. I missed everyone so bad, I thought about you guys every day I was away. But I'm home now, and hopefully I'll never have to leave you guys again. I will do everything in my power to keep the promise I made to you. It's true what they say; you never truly appreciate something until it's gone.

If I could ask you to promise me one thing, it would be to never shed a tear on someone who doesn't deserve it. When you broke down in front of me today, I truly understood the worth of a person's tears. They are too precious to be wasted, especially on a guy like me. I don't even deserve to be talked to after some of the things I've done to you. I forgot about our date and then ditched you for a race afterwards, I skipped out on countless dates and left you in my dust...literally. Heck, I don't even deserve a second glance after all that.

There was one good thing that came out of my absence. I finally know how Eggman truly feels about me. He won't admit it to my face, but he so missed me! He had no one to taunt and fight his weak robots twenty four hours of the day. Tails didn't do a bad job facing him off in his nightcap, but it really was lucky I came back at the time I did.

It was so hard not to taunt him about the hammer sticking out the side of his ship. Man, he must have wound you up really bad for you to throw so hard. I so would have loved the look of terror on his face with that feeling of something huge headed straight for you...yeah...I'm very experienced with that feeling.

I really want to know what he said now. I'm gonna have to do some digging later once I let everyone else know I'm finally home. I couldn't resist my urge to visit you first; I felt you deserved to know I was back before everyone else. You were always so upset every time a disappeared for a couple of days. When I landed outside your house, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I wasn't entirely sure how long I'd been gone for. What if I'd been gone long enough for you to forget about me?

I can't stop thinking about that one sentence you said to me when I first saw you running up to me. You said that you'd wait the rest of your life to see me again...I'd wait forever and a day for you if it meant we could be together.

Yours now and forever,

Sonic the Hedgehog x
