Sonic.
Of course, he always makes her jump.
"Good morning, Ames." Sonic jumped up from his seat and gave her a kiss on her cheek.
What on earth was that for? Amy thought, with a shocked expression on her face.
Sonic stood up straight and brushed his blue spikes. "Ah, geez. Sorry, Amy - its just good to see you, thats all!"
"I saw you yesterday, Sonic," Amy said plainly.
"Yeah, I know, but - you don't... you don't remember what happened?"
Amy was facing the sink in the kitchen, back to Sonic, when he said his words that caused her jaw to drop.
Oh my god. She stopped breathing. I didn't... We didn't... What the hell? How much did I have to drink?
"Uh..." she uttered nervously.
"Oh, don't worry - its okay. Obviously you don't remember, so its fine." Sonic laughed it off shyly.
Rape.
Amy shot around and glared at Sonic.
"What the F*** are you talking about?! What happened that I wouldn't remember? Did you-"
"Calm down, calm down, its okay, we didn't DO anything, Ames. I know you don't like me like that and I know you never have."
"Oh. I - Sorry -"
"no no, its okay. Its just some of the things I might have said, maybe you'd be scared of me - to be honest, I don't even remember what they were - not exactly, anyway."
Amy sighed. Who gives a shoot? I sure as hell don't. I'm 21, not 13.
"Do you want something to eat while I'm making myself breakfast?" Amy spoke hastily, pissed off.
"No - thanks, Amy." Sonic walked off quietly, guilty and full of regret.
The previous night...
"Hey Sonic, why don't you go next, huh?" Knuckles nudged Sonic and passed him the bottle.
"Man, how old are we? 12? This is ridiculous." Sonic laughed and had another drink. "Yeah, whatever. But no homo, ok?!"
"Yeah man, no homo. It's not gay in a threeway, anyway - I don't mind if my gal Rouge joins in."
Sonic looked around before he spun the bottle. Rouge was filing her nails with amusement; Cream was half asleep on the couch; and Amy... was out of her mind. Not drunk, but... Drunk. Clearly not kiss material at this point. Not that he would ever have another chance...
Sonic spun the bottle and of course, it landed on his favourite pink hedgehog, who didn't even notice - who wasn't even in the zone, at all.
Sonic looked at Knuckles helplessly. "I can't do it, man - look at her."
"Nah nah, of course. Alright. Lets just go with a simple truth, then. We're gonna come up with an epic truth question for you, in maybe five minutes - but in that time, you have to take 3 shots!" Knuckles exclaimed, excitingly.
"Jeez, fine." Sonic laughed and prepared himself the shots, while Knuckles and Rouge conversed.
3 shots later, the question hit:
"Do you have feelings for Amy?" Knuckles asked quietly, even though she wasn't paying attention anyway.
Sonic hiccupped and shrugged. "I mean sure. I care about her. And... I... You know..."
"..yeah?"
"I think about her a lot, man. All the time." He stopped and made sure she wasn't listening. "But the thing is, the second I pay attention, I'm scared she'll lose interest. And that just throws away my years of hard work - resisting, and pretending not to have any interest."
Knuckles stopped smiling and looked at him deeply. He grabbed Sonics hand (but not hurting him). "Man, you have to tell her. She needs to know. It doesn't matter if you're scared. Think of the possibilities, and how happy you could be."
"I am happy, Knux. I am perfectly happy with things the way they are. I just wish... I wish she was mine, you know?"
"I feel you. I'm gonna help you, man," Knuckles said happily. "And so will Rouge. Starting tomorrow, we're gonna help you out."
"But you gotta start by treating her like a lady, and like you want her. Don't be sarcastic and rude, even if you think she *likes* it." Rouge said, pointing at Sonic in a demanding manner.
"Alright, guys. Look, I feel like just going to sleep. Can one of you take her to her room?"
"Alright. Good night, Sonic."
