Amy:Cupcake can we please get back to the story I really want to see what happens next.
Since you asked so nicely yes, yes we may.
She didn't say anything she just stared at him, for a terrifying moment Sonic thought that she had died, and her eyes just happened to be open, but she finally blinked and moved her head to the right. "Is everyone else ok?" she asked her voice hoarse from a week of slumber. "Yes everyone is fine now, almost all of the injuries sustained have healed." Sonic said with a warm smile. "Amazing, she awakens from a coma, and the first thing she asks is if everyone's ok." "What's wrong with your arm?" She asked softly noticing Sonic's arm was in a sling. Sonic did a small chuckle "It's a lot better than it was, you should've seen it, it looked kind of like a boomerang." "I asked what happened to it not how it looked." Amy stated humorlessly. Sonic sweat dropped "U-um, I crashed into a wall breaking it, and then I applied a lot of pressure to it causing it to be ten times worse." Sonic stuttered while avoiding her steely gaze. Then Amy did something that caught Sonic completely off guard, she blushed and stuttered "I-I'm sorry that you were hurt while saving my life." "WAIT WHAT" Sonic yelled almost falling out of his chair. He then stood up and grabbed her hands "How are you sorry?! This whole thing was my fault! I almost killed you! You have nothing to apologize for!" Amy stared at Sonic for a few seconds before closing her eyes, and taking her hands from Sonic's grasp. "It seems as if we still think differently." She stated
Before Sonic could respond he heard the door to Amy's room open. "I heard yelling, so I assumed that she had woken up." Chuckled Tails. Amy's eyes immediately softened as he crossed the room to check her vitals. "Due to our races healing abilities most of your broken bones are healed, tomorrow you should be as good as new." Tails stated happily, as Maria walked into the room. Amy looked at her with a warm smile "Hi Maria, I'm sorry that I worried you." Tears began to silently stream down Maria's face. "You idiot, always apologizing." Maria said softly as she crossed the room. Amy reached her arm out and held Maria's right hand, not caring how much her muscles ached. "You're not allowed to leave us anymore ok?" Maria said her tears starting to subside. "Wouldn't dream of it." Amy said softly, her words causing Tails to flinch. "Tails what's wrong." Amy asked concern in her voice. "N-nothing, um I'm gonna let you get some rest ok?" Tails said while exiting the room. As Amy stared after Tails she realized that Sonic had also left.
The next morning everyone was in high spirits, they all decided to meet at Amy and Maria's house to celebrate Amy's recovery. Sonic now knew that fate really hated him, because of course he happened to be the first one to show up. When Amy answered the door her smile faltered a little before returning. "Hello Sonic, you're here a bit early." Sonic scratched the back of his head nervously. "Ya, I was doing my afternoon run, and figured that I might as well come over now, or I would forget." "Alright." Amy said plainly "come on in." When Sonic entered he was surprised at how beautiful the house was, he had forgotten just how warm and inviting Amy's house was.
"I have to go change, Maria is in the kitchen if you need company." Amy stated while walking down the hallway. "Right because I'm going to go and talk to Maria." Sonic mumbled. "Did you say something?" Sonic spun around to see Maria in an apron and holding a butchers knife smiling sweetly. Sonic screamed (higher than he would like to admit) and put a 10 foot distance between them. "What's the matter Sonic?" Maria asked innocently while slowly walking towards him "You don't want to talk to me?" "Um Amy!" Sonic called down the hallway "are you done yet?!" Maria's head cocked to the side, as she began dragging the knife against the hardwood floor when she walked. Sonic decided to retreat to the kitchen to at least find a weapon. "I would be very sad if you didn't want to talk to me." Maria said her voice becoming more and more unsettling with each step. Sonic then realized that his back was against the kitchen counter, and he had nowhere to go. Maria put her knife on the tip of Sonic's nose "When I get sad I do bad things…I don't want to have to do bad things to you Sonic, but you won't talk to me, so now I'm sad." Then Sonic was grabbed from behind and a deep voice was screaming in his ear. Once again Sonic screamed (this time much higher than he'd like to admit) until he heard laughter. When he opened his eyes Maria was on the floor laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. Then Sonic realized that it was Knuckles who had grabbed him from behind, it was a setup.
Suddenly Amy peaked from around the corner "Maria? Did you prank Sonic after I told you not to?" "Yes Amy, I'm sorry but I had to, thanks Knux" she said trying to hold in her giggles. "Anytime" Knuckles said not even trying to hide his laughter. "Ya you guys got me" Sonic chuckled. It had been a long time since he was this happy, he didn't care if Knuckles held this over his head for a week, or if Maria broadcasted his less than manly scream to the world, he was just happy to be sharing these moments with his friends (and Maria when she didn't look like she wanted to kill him).
Sonic's thoughts were interrupted when he saw Amy come around the corner, her longs quills were pulled up in a high ponytail and tame by a black headband, she was wearing denim shorts, and a simple purple T-shirt, but what caught Sonic completely off guard were the purple and black striped thigh high socks she was wearing. "Hey, Sonic are you ok? Your breathing kind of hard" asked Knuckles his face looking concerned. "Y-Yes! There is absolutely nothing wrong with me!" Sonic said much louder than he had intended. Amy tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Oh god no please don't make that face, why is she so cute." Sonic thought his face turning bright red. "Hey Sonic are you sure you don't have a fever or something your all red" Knuckles said while slapping Sonic on the forehead "Whoa dude what's wrong with you your like 1,000 degrees!" "How am I going to make it through this party" Sonic thought miserably.
Everyone arrived shortly after, not giving Sonic much time to cool off. Cream began playing the piano in the living room while Amy, Rogue, and Maria finished up the cooking. Knuckles tried to help but was quickly banned from the kitchen when he blew up a pot by putting too much gas on the stove. While everyone ate no one spoke about the battle, how Amy had almost lost her life, or even Sonic's disappearance. They spoke of happy things, about what they wanted to do tomorrow, about the love they shared for one another, about how cool Tail's newest invention was. Sonic never wanted to leave this moment, it was like an amazing dream, but of course all dreams must come to an end.
While Shadow was helping Maria clean the dishes (seriously since when does Shadow do the dishes) Tails ran into the living room. "Guys! We have an Emergency!" "Whoa Tails calm down what's wrong?" asked Charmy while getting out of his chair. "Eggman found the non- fighters."
Sonic ripped off his sling as he stood on the wing of Tail's plane while it flew the wind whipping through his quills, an intoxicating feeling that he had missed. "How did he find them" Sonic asked Tails over the radio. "I don't know" Tails answered "But a distress signal was sent to my computer from the town's coordinates, it has to be him. Hey don't overwork your self your arms still pretty jacked up" Tails said while gripping the steering wheel.
When the team arrived fire was everywhere, there were screams of agony as robots invaded homes, and killed loved ones. Shadow and Knuckles jumped out of the plane first, and began taking down robots with brute force. Amy flipped off of her hover board as it warped into a cross bow shooting robots down as she fell, when she landed her weapon once again changed forms becoming her twin daggers. Back to back with Maria both girls began cutting of the limbs of robots with incredible speed. Sonic rushed to save anyone trapped inside the smoldering flames while simultaneously taking down a large number of robots. Rogue and Cream shot robots from the rooftops of houses, their accuracy impeccable. Suddenly the ground shook, "I swear to god if it's an explosion I'm going to scream" huffed Amy. A robotic wolf standing about 4 stories tall bursted through the trees howling and earsplitting cry.
Tails managed to evacuate all of the villagers, as soon as he saw the giant beast emerge from the woods, he knew that this battle would quickly become a war.
Shadow dashed the monsters legs hoping to weaken them but to no avail, Maria's boomerangs had no effect on the monsters tough metal exterior. "How are we going to kill it if we can't even make a dent in its skin?!" yelled Charmy while dodging the metal beast's paw. Sonic ran and landed a powerful spin dash in the middle of the monster's chest causing a large spark, and the monster it to howl in pain. Amy's eyes widened "It has a weak spot!" she shouted over the creatures roar "Aim for the chest!" Shadow and Knuckles ran up the metal wolf's arm's and began punching at the chest, but it none of their attacks had any effect. They managed to jump off of the robot just before he crushed them with his giant paw. "Ames I don't think that's the weak spot!" called Shadow. That's when she saw it, the same spark that happened when Sonic spin dashed the wolf was now in his stomach. The spark was a tiny indicator of the beast's weak spot. "He's able to change the place of his one vulnerable spot, incredible." She thought. "Hey Amy! We could use a little help over here!" screamed Rogue as she was thrown to the ground by the monster's tail. Without a word Amy ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction of the battle.
"No over here! Not over there!" Rogue yelled while getting off of the ground. When Amy was a respectable distance she summoned her hover board and began to fly full speed at the monster. Sonic turned around, and saw how fast Amy was flying "A little faster and she'll break the sound barrier, what the hell is she doing?" he thought. When Amy was a few feet away from the robot's weak spot she jumped off of her board, the board continued flying at full speed crashing through the monster's exterior penetrating its weak spot, and causing it to fall down dead.
"That was a good idea" Amy thought to herself as she began to fall back to earth "Damn I just woke up from a coma, and it looks like I'm about to go right back to sleep" she thought with a small laugh. She closed her eyes preparing herself for the pain her landing would bring, but it never came, instead she felt strong arms holding her, and wind whipping through her quills.
"Why is she so smart but so stupid?" Sonic thought as he watched Amy jump off of her board. He ran at high speed towards the falling hedgehog "I made a promise that I intend to keep" Sonic said determination radiating from his movements. He caught her right before she hit the ground causing the muscles in his arm to scream in protest. When she opened her eyes the look of surprise her face almost made him laugh. "Well that was a close one." Sonic chuckled while fighting back a wince of pain. "Y-Ya" Amy stammered red creeping onto her cheeks.
The non-fighters had no choice but to come back to their original homes since there town had been destroyed, they all settled in quickly since the gang had left all of their things untouched, and the doors unlocked for the day that they defeated Eggman, and the townspeople could live in peace. Everyone was tired from the battle and decided to rest for now, and figure out Eggman's whereabouts tomorrow. Sonic was about to head to Tail's workshop until he saw Amy wave goodbye to Maria and head the opposite direction of her house.
Sonic kept a respectable distance as he silently followed Amy through a heavily wooded area until it opened to a small meadow. Sonic's throat became dry, Amy always dragged him here when they were younger, he would usually end up watching her pick flowers or sit down with her and eat apples from the large tree that stood in the meadow. Sonic stepped on a branch, and for the second time in just a week he was almost impaled by one of Amy's flying daggers. "Sonic what do you want" Amy asked her tone more tired than angry. Sonic scratched the back of his head nervously "I just saw that you didn't go home, and I wanted to make sure that you were ok." "I don't need you to protect me Sonic" Amy said as she climbed up the tree and sat on one of its branches. "I've had three years to learn how to protect myself" she said bitterly while picking an apple from the tree. Sonic ran over to the tree appearing next to Amy in a matter of seconds. "Amy I never got to talk to you about the day I left-." "What is there to talk about" Amy interrupted, "you made your feelings perfectly clear." She said staring at the apple in her hands, refusing to meet his gaze. "Amy no you don't understand I used-"The red chaos emerald of anger" Amy stated cutting him off once again "Tails already told me I don't need a recap." She said before taking a bite out of the apple. Sonic was at a loss for words, he thought that her knowing he was under the emerald's influence would make her forgive him, but he was obviously mistaken. Amy chuckled darkly "You know you're denser than you look, all you had to do was tell me you were leaving, you should've told me you were going to save the world, told me you would be back, not crush my heart in an attempt to make me stop caring about you." "Amy you don't understand I didn't want you to keep waiting for me to come back, because I knew that I might not." Sonic said sadly. "Really? That's your reason?" Amy said her eyes starting to show anger "You don't think I thought about you every day you were gone, about the things you said? About how our whole friendship was a lie?" she then laughed joylessly "And you know what the worst part is? Even after all you've dont, how much you've hurt me, I still care about you more than I've ever cared about anyone before." She whispered her eyes dropping. "Amy I love you too, and I have for a very long time." Sonic reached out to touch her hand only for her to recoil. "Please don't touch me" she said softly. "I never said that I loved you, you do not deserve my love Sonic the Hedgehog, why would I give my heart to the one who broke it?" She said her voice starting to shake. Sonic's face softened "and what would I have to do to deserve your love Amy Rose?" Amy slowly lifted her head and looked Sonic in the eyes "Nothing, because you never will."
OHHHH SNNAAAAP STUFF JUST GOT REAL
Amy: Wow, maybe you're right Cupcake maybe Sonic doesn't deserve my heart...
Sonic and Cupcake:WHAT?!
Amy: I mean he hasn't returned my feelings all these years maybe he just doesn't deserve my love
Sonic: Amy it's just a story, I-I love you you can't not care about me
Amy: Sonic did you just-
Holy balls I have created love
