Chapter 15: The question(s)

"Done!"

"Done? Really?!"

"Yup!" Tails brushed himself down as he rose from underneath the machine.

Axel was finding it hard to keep still with all of the excitement, it had been four and a half weeks since the machine broke, and it was done already. "So can we fire it up now?"

"Yeah," Tails smiled and crossed his fingers, before flicking a few switches and pulled a large lever down. After a lot of whirring, the usual bright, white portal opened up before them.

Within half an hour Axel had Blaze back in his arms, it had only been a month but it felt more like a year to them both. After letting go if each other, they kissed. It seemed that no words needed to be said, for now.

When the two got in, Blaze saw Axel take something out of his drawer, he had been very quiet on the way over, could he be losing interest in her? Blaze's question was about to be answered.

"Blaze?" Axel gestured for Blaze to sit next to him on his bed, he looked worried.

"What is it?" asked Blaze, sitting down slowly, "Are you ok?"

"Never better." his voice was quiet.

"You're not having second thoughts about the ba-"

"No! No," Axel stood up, and walked in front of her, "I'm not sure how to say this, so... I'll just say it." Blaze noticed his hand shaking a little.

Then, in a swift movement, he knelt down in front of her, and revealed what he had taken out of the drawer, a box with a small, gold ring. He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Will you...marry me?" Axel opened his eyes.

"What!?" Blaze didn't see this coming. Her eyes grew to the size of bowling balls.

"Marry me." he repeated calmly, then smiled.

"I..." a tear escaped Blaze's eye, "Of course I will!"

"I love you!" Axel shouted in joy after slipping the ring on her finger, an hugging her tight.

"I... love you too." she let her head rest on his shoulder, and let out a relieved sigh.

Meanwhile, Sonic had called Amy to come over to his house, and she had arrived soon after.

"Amy?" Sonic thought for a moment about what he was going to say, "Do you want to know what that ring I had before as for?" he thought he could have said that better.

"Hmm?" Amy thought she knew what was coming, and was trying desperately hard not to burst out in tears or laughter, she wasn't sure which.

"I know its only been a few months but, I love you and..."

"Yes Sonic?" Amy's voice was shaking.

"Amy Rose," Sonic was trying to be confident, and knelt down, revealing a ring, "Will you marry me?"

"Sonic!!!" Amy was bawling her eyes out and then squeezed him half to death.

"Is that a yes?" Sonic whispered in her ear.

Amy could only nod.

Sonic was so relieved, he felt like he could cry, but well, what would that do to his image? So he just carried on hugging Amy for what seemed like ages.

The End.

Well, this isn't exactly the end, the next chapter will be fifteen years later, just to wrap it all up, coming out on Sunday! I hope you didn't think this ending was rushed by the way, please review!
