Epilogue

Dear Diary,

This was the best day of my life! Sonic and Cream planned this huge beach party for my birthday today, and everyone was there! This morning, Sonic pretended like he didn't even know it was my birthday. Then he asked if I wanted to go to the beach, which I thought was odd, cuz Sonic hates the water. But when we got there, I saw everone sitting around this picnic area, with these huge pink ribbons and a banner that said Happy Birthday Amy! The party was wonderful. Rouge gave me this beautiful diamond necklace that she bought (Not stole!), and Shadow even smiled at me! But the best part was when it started getting dark, and everyone started leaving. Soon the only ones left were me and Sonic. Sonic sat down and pulled me into his lap, and we watched the tide come in. It was so perfect, with Sonic's arms around me. I thought it couldn't get any better, but then Sonic leaned down and kissed me and whispered that he loved me!

I've been waiting for those words for so long, for more than a decade. When I heard them, I started crying so hard, I couldn't even talk. But Sonic just held me and stroked my hair, even with my nose running and tears streaming out of my eyes. I love him so much!

People used to shrug off my infatuation with Sonic as a fangirlish crush, and they would shrug and roll their eyes and say that I'd get over it eventually. But I didn't. I think the reason I fell in love with Sonic was that my life was so devoid of love. My parents died early, and growing up with no friends didn't help either. But then I met Sonic,my knight in shining armor! Being near him made me happy, but I guess my straight-forwardness scared him away. I used to feel guilty, after we began our relationship, that I had forced him into it. But Sonic told me that he loved me, and he always had, but he had been terrified of me, and that I would get hurt in the fight for justice.

Oh! I'm gonna be late for my date with Sonic! He's taking me on a run. He runs, and I follow, but now, he smiles and looks over his shoulder to make sure I'm always close behind. I'll write later, okay?

Sincerely,

From the heart of Amy Rose.
