Chapter 4 : An Almost Perfect Morning

The early morning sun struggled to break through the clouds as it climbed steadily over the horizon.

Tails opened his eyes slowly as he awoke from a good nights sleep, It was a few minutes before he noticed a weight on his chest. He looked down at the pink hedgehog who was still sound asleep. He was a little surprised to see Amy's arms around him but it was something he was thankful for.

'Hmm, i wonder how long i was asleep before Amy put her arm around me, Maybe she was just cold. Wow, She looks so adorable, I'd better stay put until she wakes up.'

It wasn't too long before Amy started to wake up, After slowly opening her eyes she heard Tails voice.

"Comfy?"

Amy blushed a little after realising what Tails meant, But she didn't move an inch.

"Yep, Best sleep I've had in months."

It was true, Amy couldn't remember the last time she had slept so soundly. She moved up a little, Resting her head on Tails shoulder.

"What about you? Did you have a good sleep?"

"Yeah, that's a first this week."

Tails sat up but Amy kept her arm tightly around his waist.

"Stay here for just another ten minutes, Please Tails?"

Tails smiled, It really cheered him up to know that Amy wanted to stay close to him. He lay back down and she placed her head back on his shoulder. They remained like that for a lot longer than ten minutes. Amy was deep in her own thoughts as she lay next to Tails.

'This is perfect, It's so peaceful, I could get used to this. Hmm, There it is again, What are these feelings that i'm having towards Tails? They have always been there, but recently they have been getting much stronger. But its nothing like the feelings i have for Sonic, This is so confusing.'

Tails climbed out of bed slowly, Amy watched him as he made his way over to his closet. After picking out some clothes he turned to meet her gaze.

"I'm gonna have a shower and get dressed now, I won't be long."

Amy nodded as Tails left the room, She glanced over at the clock on Tails' bedside cabinet,

'10am? Wow, i can't remember the last time i stayed in bed so late. Ah well, A little while longer wouldn't be such a bad thing.'

Amy shifted over to the side of the bed where Tail's had slept, She closed her eyes as she lay her head back down on the pillow. She began her usual daydreaming about the one who was now her boyfriend, But she found her mind wandering to other things. Her thoughts were interrupted when the telephone began to ring. She reached over and picked up the cordless phone from beside the clock, She pressed a button on the front and held it to her head.

"Hello?"

"Amy? Is Tails there?"

"Hi Sonic, No he's in the shower right now. We- erm... He just got up"

"Oh ok, How is he today?"

"Well he seems to be back to his usual self but I can tell there's still something on his mind."

"At least its an improvement from yesterday, I still can't think of anything that could do that to the little guy. Anyway how are you? You must be tired, I've tried to sleep on Tails' sofa once, Its not exactly what you would call comfy."

"No it wasn't too bad, I slept quite well."

"Lucky for you, So what are you getting up to today? Do you fancy going out for lunch later?"

"I'd love to Sonic but i think I'm just gonna spend another day here with Tails."

"Oh, Well ok then, I might stop by later to talk to Tails."

"Sonic your not going to try and find out any more about what's upset him are you?"

"Of course i am! His problems aren't going to go away just because he's ignoring them."

"Sonic you can't! I know Tails, Making him think more about his problems is just going to make him feel worse."

"I've known Tails longer than anyone Amy! I need to know what's done this to him."

"Its alright Sonic, We're going to find out eventually. But we need to be patient and wait until Tails wants to talk about it."

"And what if he doesn't?"

"He will, Trust me."

"Ok, But promise me that you're going to call me the minute you get even a hint at what it is."

"Ok I promise."

"Thanks, I'm gonna go now."

"Ok bye Sonic."

"Bye hun."

Amy pressed a button on the phone to end the call before placing it back on the cabinet, Tails came back into the room dressed in a pair of white shorts and a sky blue t-shirt. He sat down on the bed next to Amy, Giving her a loving smile as he spoke.

"Who was on the phone?"

"It was Sonic, He was worried about you, He said he might stop by later to see you."

"Aww, What did i do to deserve such great friends?"

"Give me a couple of hours and I'll write you a list."

Tails playfully punched one of her legs,

"Come on, You should be up by now."

"But I'm comfy!"

Tails pulled the quilt off from Amy, She tried to get it back but he began to tickle her. Between fits of giggles Amy managed to get a few words out.

"Hey...no..wait...ok...I'll...get up...stop..it.."

Tails continued to tickle her for another few moments, Enjoying the sound of her laughter. He pulled her up from the bed and pointed towards the door.

"I left the shower on for you, If you want to borrow any clothes just help yourself. I'm gonna go and start making breakfast for you."

"Its alright Tails, You don't have to do that."

He held her hands as he continued to speak

"Amy i was feeling very down yesterday, But you really cheered me up, So i want to do something for you now."

She leaned forward and kissed Tails cheek, Causing him to go a little red.

"Thanks Tails, You're the best!"

She gave him a tender look as she entered the bathroom closing the door behind her, She used her hand to feel the temperuture of the water from the shower. She pulled the t-shirt off, Then removed her underwear. She stepped into the shower and let out a long sigh as the warm water soaked into her fur, She took her time washing every inch of her body. When she was done she stepped out onto neatly placed towel on the floor, She removed the other towel from the ring and began to dry herself. After a little while she picked the other towel up and wrapped it around herself. She picked up her dirty clothes and walked from the bathroom to Tails' bedroom, After placing her clothes into her bag she looked into Tails' closet to find something to wear. She was about the same size as Tails so she had plenty of options, She left his closet with some clothes and laid them on the bed. She then went through some of the cabinets removing a pair of scoks and boxers to wear. After making sure the door was closed properly she removed her towel and started getting dressed.

Tails was still in the kitchen when Amy walked in dressed in a pair of denim jeans and a plain white t-shirt.

"Wow, My clothes fit you pretty good. Erm.. I'm afraid we'll just have to settle for cereal."

Tails face was beet red and Amy soon realised why as she spotted the remains of some food burnt into the frying pan. Amy started to giggle when she saw what was left of the breakfast Tails' tried to prepare.

"You're a smart guy Tails but you ain't no master chef."

Tails gave her a playful nudge as she sat down at the table.
