I Always Loved You

Sonic awoke from his dreamless night. His emerald eyes, which weren't so full of life like they used to, observed as Amy was sleeping next to him. Her head rested on the arms of his couch. Her arms were hanging off of the couch. Her legs were tangled together. She looked so peaceful.

Will this pain ever end?

A few days ago, Dr. Marsh called his residence, asking him if he would like to still proceed with the surgery, even though there was a chance that he might die during the surgery. Sonic agreed he would do anything to get better. He would do anything for Amy, so that she doesn't have to go through the never-ending pain when he or if he dies.

Today came to soon, in Sonic's opinion. Today is the day of the surgery. The most painful experience he will ever encounter. Although, this would save his life, so it was defiantly worth it.

"All right, Sonic, were going to put you to sleep." Dr. Marsh said with a light tone found in his voice.

"Wait! Put me to sleep? I don't want to die!" Sonic shouted frantically, as he struggled to get out of the white hospital bed. It ached his bones whenever he moved, so he just hissed in pain.

Dr. Marsh just caught on to what he just said, "No, no, I mean were going to make you fall asleep. So that we can perform the…surgery."

"Oh, sorry about that doc," Sonic gave an apologetic look.

"Its all right…get the tank!" Dr. Marsh commanded.

"What tank?" Sonic questioned with a hint of panic found in his voice.

"The sleeping tank, don't worry." Dr. Marsh explained, as one of his assistants brought in the tank.

"Are you ready?" Dr. Marsh asked seriously to Sonic. One of the assistants plugged it in, and turned the tank on.

"No…"

"Good!" Dr. Marsh said as if he presumed that Sonic said "yes."

"But-" An oxygen mask was slapped on to Sonic's muzzle, forcing him to breathe the sleepy fumes. Sonic felt that his eyelids were drooping downwards. He fought his eyes back open, but that just made him sleepier. He finally gave in and went to sleep.

"All right we don't have much time, so lets go." Dr. Marsh commanded, as a swarm of surgeons surrounded Sonic.

A very impatient Amy was waiting in the waiting room. Everything looked as if life itself was sucked away here. The walls were white, random posters about your health covered some of the pale white walls; everyone was wearing frowns. It surely was a depressing place to be.

"I hope Sonic is all right." Amy mused to herself. She leaned into the chair she was currently sitting on. She propped her elbow onto the arm of the chair, and rested her face on her hand.

As positive as this pink hedgehog was, negative thoughts started to invade in her mind. She forcefully shook those thoughts out of her head, but after a minute or two when she least expected, they came back. It came back to taunt her, making her feel like crying.

"No, I have to be strong…" Amy said to herself as her eyes started to water.

Her emerald eyes observed the white tile floor, hoping to get this out of her head, but this thought always came back to haunt her.

After for what seems like an eternity, the doctors have finally finished with the surgery. They wouldn't allow Amy to visit Sonic just yet; they want to see how he is feeling first.

"Sonic, how are you feeling?" Dr. Marsh said softly once he saw Sonic's eyelids opening.

"What happened?" Sonic slowly sat up, even though it was a little painful. A shock of pain soared in his head.

"Ouch! Why does my head hurt?" Sonic gently grabbed his head to ease the pain.

"Where's Amy?" Sonic slowly detached himself from his head once the pain vanished.

"My, my, my, so many questions. Well to answer your first question, you just had surgery."

"I did?" Sonic said confusingly.

"Yes, and you head hurts because that's where the surgery was taken place. Also, to answer your last question, Amy is in the waiting room." Sonic's ears perked up at the sound of Amy's name.

Sonic slowly and painfully tried to get out of the bed, but Dr. Marsh halted his actions.

"No, you must rest, but we can bring her to you, if you like?" Dr. Marsh smiled, as Sonic eagerly nodded his head.

"All right, I'll get her…" Dr. Marsh turned to leave, but Sonic stopped him.

"Wait!" Sonic called out in a weak voice.

"Yes?" Dr. Marsh turned his head to face Sonic. His body didn't turn to face towards him however.

"Was the surgery at least a…success?" Sonic voice started to crack a little as he hit the sensitive subject.

"You're a lucky hedgehog you know that. Most people or hedgehog would have died during the surgery, but you were a tough one. You kept fighting you never gave up. However, we couldn't get rid of all the cancer cells, so in about, at least, four months come back to me, all right." Dr. Marsh explained truthfully without leaving out any detail.

Sonic nodded his head, "Yeah, I'll come back…can I see Amy now?"

Dr. Marsh nodded his head, and exited out of the room.

"Can't believe I'm alive…" Sonic told himself.

"Sonic!" Amy ran into the room with open arms. She ran up to Sonic, with tears in her eyes, and embraced Sonic, Sonic weakly embraced back.

"Sonic, I was so worried about you." Amy nuzzled into his chest, making Sonic wince in pain, but was unheard to Amy.

"You thought I would die?" Sonic asked while having a smile on his face.

Amy looked up at Sonics face, "N-no, I was just worried about you."

Did I really think he was going to die?

"I am Sonic the Hedgehog after all," Sonic winked at Amy.

Amy slowly leaned upwards and kissed Sonic on the lips.

Dr. Marsh, who was at the door, smiled as he saw them kissing.

The End!

Thank you for reading a Shadow Fan 100's story. All your reviews and hits were greatly appreciated. Sorry if the ending was either corny or rushed. Once again thank you for reading. Oh, by the way, I was originally going to make Sonic die, but I knew that most of you (all of you) wouldn't like it if Sonic died.
