¦| Chapter Six |¦

Amy smiled at Sonic from across her book, causing him to loose focus from the fairytale she had been reading to him. Ever since the festival, they had become more needy for each other's presence.

The pink hedgehog would never admit it openly, yet, when she wasn't with him she felt bedeviled. She tilted her head to the side like a dog would, trying to figure something out.

Holding up her index finger, she signaled him she would be right back.

Once she was out of the room, Sonic could feel himself missing her already, she was his twin soul.

He stared at the red roses that sat in a clear vase on the table across from his bed, inwardly he smiled at the sight, Amy quickly returned with a soda can in her hand.

"Sorry, I got a little thirsty." She admitted with a chuckle and took a sip of her cold drink.

"Ahem," both stared at the door to see a crocodile entertaining with a big smile. "Good evening."

"Good evening, Vector." Amy hollered as she slumped back onto her hair lazily. "Here for Sonic's bones, I'm presuming?" she asked with a grin.

Vector reached to Sonic's bed and nodded to Amy hopelessly. "Yeah, and to say bye "

"Why would you say bye?" Amy asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Hmph?" Vector asked looking up at Amy who crossed her arms at him with curiosity written all over his face. "Oh, Sonic here won't need me anymore after his surgery."

Sonic felt overjoyed hearing this, his big day was getting surgery. If everything went well then he would be out and walking, but most importantly, he would be able to hold Amy in his arms.

"What surgery...?" Amy asked worried as she rose from her chair.

Sonic felt excitement with Amy finally knowing about the surgery that Dr. Quack was going to do on him.

"The one that will get Sonic back to normal," Vector began looking at her with a half smile, "I thought you knew."

Amy exchanged a look with Vector, but she shook her head. "No, he can't!"

Sonic felt taken aback by Amy's out burt though Vector seemed to show the same concern as her. "It's already been decided by his parents, Amy."

"B-b-but if it doesn't go well then...then," Amy stiffened and battled to keep her tears from pouring out, "they can't, it's too dangerous."

Vector watched her sympathetically as he took in a breath and sight hopelessly. "I know it is."

"Then why are his parents doing this?" Amy screamed out and quickly hugged herself tightly. "How can they take the chance?"

"They've been talking about it for months now," Vector began as he began massaging Sonic's leg muscles, "They found this to be the best for him."

"He's fine the way he is now." Amy responded with her voice cracking.

Vector stared at her with a serious expression he rarely showed and turned to Sonic. "Are you sure Sonic feels the same way?"

Her gaze fell to the floor, Vector was right, she couldn't decide what Sonic's fate should be.

A single tear dripped down her cheek, though she quickly whipped it off. Not before Sonic saw it though, he never had thought of the consequences of the surgery going wrong.

He had over heared his parents and Dr. Quack discuss the 96% out of 100% chance of surviving, he had been to busy focused on the 4% chance.

If he were to die during surgery he would never see any of the people he cared so much of ever again. He no longer approved of it, he didn't want to lose anyone.

Though also didn't want his parents having to constantly have to pay for his care, he could see their struggles, then it would soon be Amy alone if she chose to look after him.

He couldn't have her go through that.

If he didn't have the surgery he would stay a burden and if he did and he ended up dying no one would have to worry about him anymore.

"Amy," Vector began as he had walked over to her and had given her a comforting hand, "Just be positive and hope everything goes well."

Amy nodded her head that was pressed against his chest, you could hear her sniffing. Vector pulled away slightly and rubbed her back to comfort her and whispered something in her ear that caused her to blush and pull away and stare at him shocked.

"You can tell that easily?" Amy asked rubbing her arm embarrassed.

Vector nodded with a sad smile which made Sonic wonder onto what he bad said to Amy. "But for now, you should both should spend more time with each other."

Amy nodded with a sad smiled and looked at Sonic sadly, "Yeah, we should."

X-X-X

"There!" Amy said with a giggle as she painted Sonic's ring finger pink and her own blue. She looked up at him smiling.

After Vector had left with his final goodbye Sonic and Amy made an oath to stay positive no matter what.

"I think pink looks really good on you." She complimented and smiled as she put her nail polish away in her rucksack.

Sonic wasn't very fond of getting his nails painted pink but he couldn't complain about it even if he wanted.

His mind began to wonder off, what if his surgery came out great?

He stared at Amy as she texted on her phone with someone and couldn't help but imagen himself and her.

Sonic could visualize it already, Amy and him hanging out and laughing. He felt overjoyed just thinking about it.

"I have to go." Amy said putting her phone away sadly. "My uncle wants me home already because its getting late."

Sonic didn't mind, she should get home before it gets too dark. She had already spent the whole day with him.

But Amy didn't leave she stood there uncertain as she stared under Sonic's bed making him curious as to what she was looking at.

"I don't know if I ever told you, but, I have guitar class in school." she mumbled as she played with her hair, "I'm not ver good but," she stopped momentarily and crouched down and pulled something whatever she had been staring at, "I write you something."

She was now sitting on the seat next to Sonic that she normally sat on with a black acoustic guitar in her hands. "I'm just a beginner so don't judge too hard..."

Amy cleared her throat and adjusted the guitar on her lap and placed her long nails on the strings and began to play. A beautiful melody filled the room, she played soft and related.

"Hmmm," she hummed as she played, "Inside you there is a war going on," she changed the tone clearer as she got more confidence, "And it makes you bitter and grim."

She smiled at Sonic shyly as she continued to play, "And so I come to you and risk it all, I will defend you till the end. I wonder if you know, I'm your protector, so fear no more because I'll always be here for you!" she sang as she reached high pitches at some points.

Amy finally stopped and laughed, "Lame lyrics, I know."

Not to Sonic though, he felt touched that she was even willing to take time to even write and do this.

Amy finally stood back up and grabbed her stuff, "Well, bye, Sonic." she said shyly as she walked towards the door though she stopped once again. Suddenly she ran back to Sonic and kissed him dangerously close to his lips and ran out the door leaving Sonic stunned.

To him, he wasn't sure if she was showing signs of romantic love for him or friendly love.

He knew well that Amy had a boyfriend though she rarely mentioned him since she visited him, she seemed to occupied with Sonic than to be with Shadow. He envied Shadow in a way, he was able to have an amazing girl like Amy and he could hold her and take her out on dates, he could move, he could even talk.

So why didn't Amy spend her time with him instead?

He began to also wonder as to why did Amy even feel close to him, why was she willing to put her full attention on him?

Maybe...just maybe, Amy did have feelings for him.
