Hey, Hope Y'all had a good christmas, This was supposed to be up by then but I was stuck down in one of the worlds worst citys for christmas. Well i'm back home in the dear green place so heres the next chapter.

Chapter 16 : Against All Odds

Amy was starting to drift off to sleep as she lay on Tails' sofa, She was again thinking about the last few days.

'A lot of things have changed this week, And I'm not sure its all for the better. I feel so happy now that I've realised who I really love, And I know he loves me too. But I've also had to face up to a mistake I've been making for years, It wasn't fair to treat Sonic like that all those years and then tell him that it meant nothing. Maybe some good has come from this, I should try to look on the bright side of everything that's happened. If it wasn't for the events of the past few days, I would probably still be chasing after Sonic right now. I wouldn't know Tails is in love with me, I doubt I would have realised how much I cared about him.'

Amy was startled when the phone started to ring, She stretched a little and yawned before reaching over for the phone.

"Hello?"

"Amy, Its Me."

"Sonic? How's Tails? Please tell me you guys have made up!"

"Yeah, We've sorted everything out now."

"Good, It'll be nice to see Tails' smile again."

"Well, I think you've still got something left to tell him."

"...Yeah, I might wait a few days first, Let things get back to normal."

"Oh, Er... That could be a problem."

"Huh? Why would... Wait, You didn't say anything to him did you?"

"Well..."

"Sonic!"

"Well I thought you had already told him, How was I to know you hadn't? You should have told me on the phone earlier."

Amy paused for a few moments before realising that it was her own fault.

"Yeah, I guess I should have. I was just so concerned with the two of you becoming friends again that I forgot to mention. So... How much did you tell him."

"Well he knows that you know how he feels about you, And he knows the two of us split up."

"Is that it? Did you tell him why we split up?"

"Nah, I thought I'd save that part for you."

"I guess I'll have to have a chat with him when I see him again, Where is he anyway?"

"He's on his way over there, He left about ten minutes ago."

"Already? Alright... I'll tell him everything when he gets here."

"Cool, Its better that way. At least then everything will be wrapped up, This week has been too long."

"Okay, But listen Sonic. After today you're probably gonna see me and Tails together a lot, Are you sure that won't bother-"

"Amy! Its alright, I told you I'll get over it and I will."

"Yeah, But I still feel really bad for everything I've done to you. I shoul-"

"Hey! Its forgotten about, Lets leave it like that. Okay?"

"Okay Sonic... Thanks."

"No problem Ames, I'll speak to you later on alright?"

"Okay, Bye Sonic."

Amy heard a gentle click on the line, She placed the phone down before sinking back into the sofa.

'Yes! That's it! Everythings back almost the way it was, Just one thing left to do... Wow, I never knew I could be so excited and so nervous at the same time.'

At that moment Tails was on a train bound for the mystic ruins, He wasn't sure how to feel.

'So Amy knows how I feel about her... Why didn't she say anything to me about it? And why wouldn't she tell me that she split up with Sonic? I don't know if I should ask her when I go back or if I should just wait and she if she tells me, I'm not even sure why she stayed with me last night. Maybe she came over because she wanted to find out if what Sonic told her was true, But when I asked her if she had spoken to Sonic she lied to me. She told me she hadn't even seen him, Why would she lie about it?'

Tails punched the interior wall of the train in frustration, He couldn't work anything out.

'Maybe she was upset about breaking up with Sonic, She hadn't seen him again since so it must have been just after Sonic told her about me. Wow, That's a pretty big coincidence. I hope Amy didn't just break up with Sonic because he threw me out of his home, I've already caused enough trouble between them. But she didn't look upset when she came over last night, And why did she come over so late?'

I guess you couldn't sleep?... I couldn't either, I missed having my little fox to snuggle up to.

'Did she really come to see me at that time because she missed me? Was she still worried about me after I ran out the theatre like that? I just don't understand any of this, None of it makes any sense. I know why she didn't ask me about why I ran out the theatre now, She already knew. Maybe she wanted me to be friends with Sonic again before she mentioned any of it to me, That would explain why she seemed to be in a hurry to get me to see Sonic today... Wait, She kissed me. Right before I left she kissed me, I don't even want to try and figure that one out. For such a simple person, Amy is really difficult to understand. I guess I'll have to talk to her when I get in, What will she say about it? Sonic said she wasn't angry or upset about it, And she obviously wasn't angry or upset last night or this morning. If only I knew why she broke up with Sonic, Why wouldn't he tell me? That's what links everything together, If I knew that I would understand it all.'

The train pulled into the station at the mystic ruins, Tails got up from his seat and left the train. He was still trying to make sense of everything as he headed down the wooden staircase, Eventually he just gave up.

'I can't figure it out, I guess I'll know soon.'

A few minutes later he wandered up to his front door, He knocked the door a few times and waited for an answer. Amy opened the door and immediately moved forward to hug Tails, He only returned the embrace for a few moments before pulling away. Amy looked at him a little strangely as they both walked into the house, She knew he had something on his mind and she knew exactly what it was. Amy sat down next to Tails on the sofa, She noticed he was trying not to look at her.

"So you and Sonic are friends again?"

Tails nodded a little but continued looking straight forward.

"Did he call you then?"

"Yeah, He told me you two had made up... He said he had told you a few more things too."

"He did... So why did you two break up?"

"I'll tell you Tails, But can I ask you something first?"

Tails slowly nodded, He was still as confused as ever.

"Is it true? Do you... Really feel that way about me?"

A few tears formed in Tails eyes as he clutched Amy's hand.

"Amy, I've always felt that way about you. I've never stopped thinking about you from the day we met, I've never been happier then when I spend time with you. It used to upset me a little to always see you running after Sonic, Even more when I had to listen to you telling me about it every single time he rejected you. But I always felt better when I realised he didn't have the slightest bit of interest in you, I was sure you would give up one day so I bid my time and continued to wait. I promised myself that I would tell you how I felt about you when you finally realised that Sonic wasn't interested, But that day never came. Instead he ended up falling in love with you, So all that time I spent waiting and thinking of nothing but you just seemed like a complete waste. I tried to tell myself that it was best if you got together with Sonic but it just never felt right, And every moment I spent without you just made me care about you more. That's why I was so upset, But there was nothing I could do about it..."

Tails turned to face Amy, She had almost as many tears in her eyes as he had running down his face.

"I...I love you Amy, I've always loved you, And I always will love you, No matter what happens I'll always feel the same way about you. I just need you to understand that..."

Tails felt a little relief that he was able to get all that of his chest, He felt better now that he had spoken his feelings to the one who mattered most. Rather then study her face for any kind of response, Tails found himself looking down at the floor.

"Tails... I learned a lot of things about myself this week, And I learned a lot more about my feelings for the people closest to me. I split up with Sonic because there was still something missing, Something I never knew existed before. I thought everything would be perfect when I got together with Sonic but it wasn't, It was just the same as it always was. I thought I loved him... But it was a different kind of love."

This was enough to get Tails attention, He kept facing the floor as he continued to listen.

"I knew I had made a terrible mistake when I started to spend time with you this week, I had been doing it for years before I realised. I was so obsessed with Sonic that I wasn't even sure how I felt about the others around me. But I spent a lot of time with you this week, And I've never enjoyed myself so much as when I'm with you. Everything that wasn't there with Sonic was there when I was with you, And I've never felt that good In all my life."

Tails looked up at Amy now, He was carefully listening to each and every word that left her mouth.

"I'm not in love with Sonic, And I never was. I always thought Sonic was the only one for me, But I fell in love with someone else."

Tails tried to say something but he couldn't manage it, All he could do was listen.

"Nothing I've ever done with Sonic even compares to the feelings I've had when I've been with you this week, I'm angry at myself for not realising before. I know this week hasn't been very happy for any of us, But I'm glad it all happened. If it didn't then I would probably still be chasing after Sonic right now..."

Amy was starting to cry, She held Tails hand tighter and continued.

"And I wouldn't... I wouldn't have realised how much I love you!"

With those words Amy grabbed Tails as tight as she could and started to cry on his shoulder, Tails hugged her back and let a few more tears loose. He was stunned by the huge amount of information he had just been given, But it was everything he could ever have wanted to hear from Amy. Amy pulled away just enough to look into Tails eyes, They both leaned forward and they kissed for the second time that day. A few moments went by before Tails broke the kiss, He couldn't remember the last time he felt so happy.

"Amy... Thank you. That means everything to me, I love you."

Amy was still trying to keep herself from crying, She wasn't doing a very good job.

"I-I love you too."

With that Amy hugged Tails again, They both knew what they really wanted. All they ever needed, Was eachother.
