Chapter Ten

Awake, At Last

I was about to climb into bed when my phone buzzed. Curious as to who would text me at such a late

hour, I went over to my phone and opened my messages.

It was from Sonic. 'Hey Amy, sorry to text so late but can you come over?'

What could he possibly need at this hour? 'Why, what's up?' I texted back.

He replied seconds later with 'Sally and I broke up.'

Without a second though, I was out the door and in my car before I had even finished reading what he

said.

I stopped off at a Convenience store to pick a few things up.

I got everything Sonic usually got for me: ice cream, chips, popcorn and a movie. I didn't know

what movie he would want, so I grabbed a few: Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, James Bond,

Blue Streak and The Notebook. We always watched the Notebook when one of us were going through a

break up, which was usually only me.

He had to feel like watching at least one of them, right?

I quickly drove to his house. I took the bag of things that would hopefully make him feel better,

and I ran in his house, up the stairs and into his room.

I stood in his doorway, looking at him. He looked like he was about to cry. He looked up at me, with

the saddest eyes I have ever seen. His eyes dropped to the bag of things I was holding, and he

smiled.

"I didn't know what else to get," I shrugged.

He walked over to me, and hugged me. "Just you being here makes everything better."

I smiled, hugging him back.

After a few moments, we let each other go. "So," I said, sitting on his bed, "what happened?"

Sonic sighed as he sat down beside me. "She told me a lot of crap, then she said I had to choose..

You or her."

"You chose me?" I whispered.

He nodded. "I can handle losing Sally, she's a handful, but I don't know what I'd be without you."

I had tears fun my eyes. That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said or done for me. Sonic and

Sally broke up, all because he refused to lose me...

"Why are you crying?"

I hugged Sonic, smiling. "Thank you," I whispered. I let him go after a quick second, "I'm sorry she

said that. That's not very fair."

"Hey, life isn't fair. We just gotta get over things and move on with our life. Anyways, what movies

did you get?"

Sonic was so amazing, it was unbelievable. I pulled out the five moves I had rented.

He approved of them all, "your choice of movies has approved since last time."

I smiled. "Which one do you wanna watch first?"

"You can choose, I don't care."

"Okay," I hopped up, and out Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides in Sonic's DVD player and

sat back down on his bed.

I hadn't seen this movie yet, neither had Sonic, so hopefully it would be good.

After Pirates of the Caribbean, we watched Blue Streak, followed by Indiana Jones. I don't remember

anything about that movie, though. That must have been when I fell asleep.

I looked at the tv. It was a different movie than before. James Bond was playing. I looked at Sonic

who was enjoying the movie.

He looked down at me, catching my gaze. "Oh, hey, good morning," he winked.

"What time is it?" I sat up, trying to find something that would tell me the time.

"It's just passed six AM."

"Oh," it was early.

The tv became black, and white words began scrolling along the screen, with music playing. The

credits, the most exciting part of all movies.

"Wanna watch The Notebook?" Sonic smiled.

"Sure," I smiled back.

He ran over to the DVD player, taking out James Bond, replacing it with the Notebook. He ran back

over to the bed, and sat back down.

-x-x-

"I'd never do that for Sally," Sonic said as the movie finished.

Every time we watched The Notebook I would always say how my ex's would never read me the story of

our lives together, when we got old, so I would remember him. Sonic could finally do the same.

"She'd find a reason to bitch at me," he added.

I laughed, "yes, she probably would."

We let the room fill up with silence as the credits rolled. "I'd do it for you," Sonic said

suddenly, breaking the silence.

"You'd... What?"

"I'd read to you everyday and bring you back to me."

"Wh-why?" I stuttered, unsure of what he was trying to tell me. I'd always liked Sonic a little more

than just a friend, but I didn't think he felt the same way.

"I love you," he answered simply. As I smiled, he leaned in to kiss me...

-x-x-x-

My eyes fluttered open as I looked around. I was back in my bed, back at home.

"Dammit," I cursed under my breath, realizing everything was just a dream. Sonic and I were so close to kissing, too.

"Amy, you're finally awake! Everyone's been so worried!" Cream said, as she entered my room.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Almost 20 hours"

"Cream! Sonic's awake," tails came flying in through the window, landing right beside Creme.

"Amy too, look!"

I got out of bed, and stretched. "So, Sonic was asleep, too?"

"Yeah you guys have both been sleeping for 20 hours, and you've both been smiling and laughing in your sleep," Tails explained.

That's so weird... Why would Sonic and I be sleeping for the same amount of time, while smiling and laughing? ... Wait. "How do I know this is reality? I woke up three times already, this could just be another dream!" I'm not even sure how waking up three times without actually waking up was possible. Maybe that was a dream within a dream within a dream? Wow, that's a lot of dreaming.

Cream and Tails looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Well, dreams don't have beginnings or endings.." Tails trailed off.

"This is the beginning for you and Sonic and the ending to the chasing," Cream finished for him.

I didn't exactly believe that. Sonic and I had quite a few beginnings in my dream. This very well

could be another dream, but... If I was back in reality, and Sonic and I really were sleeping in

sync... Would we have dreamed the same thing? Something inside me told me to run.

I quickly ran to the front door, and put my sandals on. Not caring that I was still in my pajamas, I started running to Sonic's house.

I didn't know if this was real or not, I didn't care. All I knew was that Sonic had been asleep for

as long as I have, and he just woke up, too. This couldn't be a coincidence. I just had a dream

within a dream, within a dream. That's never happened, before. Something was definitely weird, and I needed to talk to Sonic about it.

I wasn't even half way there when a sudden blue blur went flying by.

"Sonic!" I called, turning around.

Before I had even finished turning around he was standing right in front of me. "Amy! I was just

headed to see you."

"I was gonna see you too," I said, smiling.

"You wouldn't leave me," he frowned. I knew exactly what he was talking about. Princess Amelia and Sir Sonic.

"I couldn't. I was too in love with you."

"We just met, you didn't know me."

"I didn't need to. From the first dance I knew I loved you."

He didn't say anything, so I changed the subject to the next dream. "You killed yourself."

"I won't live here, if you don't, Amy. I can't live without you."

I smiled. "The last one?"

"I would chose you over anyone, without a doubt. You're too amazing to ever let go, and I really

would read to you everyday just to get you back, even for a minute. What about you? Allowing me to be with her."

"Well, your happiness is what's important, it's what matters most. Just because I have issues with

someone who's important to you doesn't mean I'm going to go around starting crap. I'll be happy for you."

"Amy, I should have told you this everyday from the moment I first met you. I love you." He wrapped me in his arms and pressed his lips against mine.

I suddenly knew this was reality, it was more amazing than the dreams, than any other dream or fairytale. It was perfect. No, it was much more than perfect. I felt like I had died and gone to heaven.

There were millions of sparks running through me. It was like thousands of fireworks had been set off at the same time. It was better than anything I have ever imagined. Our lips molded perfectly together, just like our souls fit perfectly as one. Sonic was my other half, my reason for living, my everything. He was finally mine.

After about another minute of kissing him, he leaned away, smiling. If we hadn't needed to breath, we would have kept kissing.

"I love you too," I breathed, as I stayed close to him, wrapped in his arms; my castle.

A/N: That's it! That's the end of FOL.

Incase anyone is wondering, that last part isn't in italics because Amy realized she wasn't dreaming. Took her long enough. hehe.

ANYWAYS. I was thinking about making a sequel to this. It would take place twenty years from now and it would be full of drama, hurt, comfort, grudges, romance and forbidden love! :]

Should I go through with this?

Review! [:
