Chapter 5 : A Day Out

After breakfast Tails was at the sink doing his best to save his frying pan, Amy was still seated at the table and doing her best to keep from laughing. She let out a little giggle and in response Tails turned around to look at her. Amy reduced her laugh to a smile as she spoke.

"Honestly Tails, How can someone master aviation technology and still not be able to make an omelette?"

Tails lowered his head a little as he went back to the washing-up, Amy noticed and began to feel a little guilty. She got up from her chair and walked over to him, She put a hand on his shoulder causing him to turn and face her.

"Hey, You know I'm only teasing you."

"I know Amy, I'm just a little frustrated, I haven't been able to do anything right for the last few days."

Tails' usual cheerful smile returned when Amy placed a kiss on his cheek, He started cleaning the pan again before giving up a few minutes later.

"Hmm, This isn't coming off. I'll just have to get a new one." He turned to face Amy again "Anyway what's your plans for today?"

"Well, Sonic wanted me to have lunch with him later, But I said I was just going to spend another day with you."

Tails opened his eyes a little wider, He wasn't sure if he had heard correctly.

"YOU turned down a date with Sonic?"

"I know, It doesn't sound like something I would do. Anyway, We're dating now so I can go out with him another day. Today I just want to make sure you're ok."

Tails smiled a little and turned a light shade of pink, Amy continued speaking as she walked into the sitting room with Tails following her.

"What about you? Did you have anything planned today?"

"Not really, I was gonna spend another day at home."

"No way! It's not going to do you any good to sit at home thinking about things, You're just gonna upset yourself again. Come on, Lets go out for a little while."

"Well ok but where?"

"Lets go to Station square, We can find something to do there."

Tails glanced up at the clock,

"Ok then, But we'd better hurry, The next train is due soon."

They both wasted no time putting on their footwear and leaving through the front door. After a short walk, They boarded the Train that had just arrived. It was pretty busy but they found two seats together and sat down. After about thirty minutes they arrived at Station square,

"So where do you want to go?" Tails asked as they made their way down the steps.

"Why not go to Casinopolis?"

"What? No way! Sonic told me about the last time he went there with you! I remember it especially because I had to pay his rent for two months afterwards."

Amy laughed as she remembered her last visit there with Sonic.

"Well come on, We can just go for a walk and have a look in a few shops while we're at it."

Tails nodded as they began to walk down the street.

They spent a few hours walking through Station square, Looking into the various shops along the way. Tails was waiting outside the fitting room of a clothes store while Amy tried on some clothes, He leaned back against the wall and tried to make sense of his thoughts. Part of him was screaming out for him to tell Amy about his feelings for her, But another part of him was telling him that it would only make things far worse if she found out. Then he started to think about Sonic, How would he react if Tails were to tell him first?

'I have to tell someone, I can't cope with this much longer. If Sonic really does like Amy like that then I don't think he would be too pleased if I told him about how i felt about her, He might not want to be friends with me anymore. And even if he did it wouldn't make much difference, Their together now. Amy loves Sonic, And Sonic... hmm.. I wonder how Sonic feels about Amy...He said to her that she was much nicer when she wasn't so obsessive, But that's hardly a declaration of love.'

Tails cheered up a little as he realised that things weren't as bad as he had thought. He had to find out how Sonic feels about Amy, If he isn't really serious about her then at least he would have someone to speak to again. Just then Amy came out of the fitting room carrying the clothes that she had went in with, She walked over to Tails who was still standing with his back against the wall.

"Hey Tails, Are you alright?"

He smiled as he turned to face Amy.

"Yeah, I'm fine now."

After paying for the clothes they left the store, They visited Amy's apartment to drop off everything she had bought that day. Tails waited in the hallway as Amy put her newly-acquired clothes away in her bedroom, After a few minutes they left the apartment. They started walking down the street when Amy spoke up.

"I'm gonna have to go shopping with you more often. When i go with Sonic he makes me rush around in every store we go into, I never get time to browse properly."

Tails couldn't really understand it, He enjoyed every moment he spent with Amy.

"Ok, Just give me a call next time you're going shopping."

"Right, I will. So are we heading back to your house now?"

Tails yawned a little and nodded.

"Yeah ok, Looks like its gonna start raining soon anyway."

Tails looked up towards the clouds as he spoke. After a few minutes walking and thirty minutes on a train they arrived back at the mystic ruins. It started raining as they left the train, A few minutes later they were back in Tails home. Just after Tails had kicked his sneakers off the phone started to ring, He entered the sitting room and picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Tails! Hey buddy how are you now?"

"Hi Sonic, I'm feeling much better now thanks."

Amy looked up when she heard him say Sonic's name.

"Good, I was worried about you all night. I'm gonna come round and see you later."

"Ok, Thanks."

"No problem bro, Anyway is Amy there?"

"Yeah hang on."

Tails turned to Amy who was sitting on the sofa, He passed her the phone.

"Sonic wants to speak to you Amy, I'll be in the bathroom if you need me."

She took the phone and began to speak as Tails left the room closing the door behind him. He quietly made his way into his bedroom and picked up the cordless phone from his cabinet, After the touch of a button on the front he began to listen in on the conversation between Sonic and Amy.

"Yeah we were out earlier, He seems to be a bit happier now but I'm still a bit worried about him."

"I'm coming round later to see him, I've been worried about him. But anyway, Its you I really called to speak to."

Tails lay on his bed and continued to listen.

"Me?"

"Yes, Listen Amy, Ever since I took you out I've not been able to get you out of my head."

"Aww, I never thought i would hear you say that."

"Seriously Amy, I feel terrible for all the time I've spent without understanding my feelings for you"

Tails knew what Sonic meant, He knew that Amy would know too. A few tears started to fill his eyes.

"Sonic.. If-"

"Please let me finish Amy... What I'm trying to say is... I.. I love you Amy Rose."
