But yes, do enjoy yourselves.
Sonic's POV
I shoved my hands in my empty pockets ,while I slowly placed my forehead on the wall before me, sending chills down my spine from the cool surface. Phones were ringing in the distance as well as the occasional few pairs of feet walking briskly on the tiled floors of the hospital.
I could hear murmurs as well around the hall, and then my body tensed after hearing her name. Footsteps broke from a brisk walk into a determined run.
"Looks like the Faker is here" I sighed against the wall.
"Hedgehog" he demanded.
I turned my tired body around to face him, casually leaning my back on the wall, with one foot ledged against it as well, hands still deep into my pockets.
"Yo" I greeted in a bored tone.
"Where is she?" he demanded. His fur was seriously out of place, and I'm pretty sure he looked more like a fox now ,than he did when I saw him last.
"You sure you want to go in like that?" I asked smugly.
He bared his fangs before taking a fistful of my shirt into his hands glaring at me.
"Don't make me repeat myself" he warned with a low growl. His eyes fell into slits and I could feel the hostility behind them.
But I wasn't anywhere near afraid of this chump.
I shoved him off of me with little effort, making him stumble on his feet before regaining his footing.
"No offense pal" I began as I fixed myself. "I don't swing that way. Next time you get too close. The next thing I'm gonna shove, is your face against a wall" I growled.
"Gentlemen?" a nasal voice interrupted our stare off.
We both glanced at the short mouse before us and we relaxed our stances.
"I'm all finished with her, can I ask who brought her here?" he asked taking his glasses off to reveal beady black eyes, wiping his glasses in his white jacket.
"Yeah, that's me" I said firmly.
"And you?" he asked looking directly at Shade. "Who are you?"
"I'm her boyfriend" he affirmed.
"Right." He sighed, looking between the both of us.
"She's fine. I don't think we need her to stay overnight since she's wide awake now. She's had significant blood loss but I've prescribed a diet that should get her up and running in a few days, I've contacted parents as well"
"Thanks Doc" I said with relief. "Think we can go see her?" ia sked.
"Yes. The nurse will give you the instructions I gave Miss Rose, follow them and you guys have a good evening"
"Thanks again" I smiled before heading into the room he just came out of. I noticed the faker didn't follow me in, until I heard him and the doctor talking and took this as my chance. The curtain was closed, and I parted it carefully before sticking my head in; making my muzzle heat almost immediately.
Amy was being bandaged around her ribcage, exposing her creamy pink fur and a fair amount of tan skin on her stomach. Her white laced bra stood out against the fairly bright lights of the room and I couldn't help but clear my throat to push the growl that was itching to escape.
Both women glanced my way, the nurse giving me a small smile and continued wrapping Amy. Amy stared straight into my eyes, her expression flat, before her mind completely registered that I was gawking at her upper body, her cheeks began to turn a bright shade of red, before she whipped her head back around, and pulled her lilac shirt she had been wearing, over her body again once the bandage was on securely.
"You're the boyfriend?" the nurse asked walking up to me.
"N-No, I'm just a friend, the main man is outside." I explained, rubbing the back of my head in complete embarrassment.
"Oh? Didn't look that way" she smiled before leaving Amy and I alone in silence.
"I'm surprised she didn't slip you her number" Amy commented. " She's been banking on and on about you when I told her you brought me here"
"Actually" I said showing her a prescription paper with digits scribbled on it.
"Seriously?" she giggled.
"When you got it. You got it" I shrugged crumpling it and tossing it into the nearby trash can. "How're you feeling?" I asked after looking at the bandage around her head.
"Honestly, I feel great. I kicked ass for the first time, in a long time" she smiled gauntly.
"Typical answer from you Ames" I chuckled. "Oh, your- uh ,Shade. He's here" I said looking out the window, knowing her eyes would have lit up at the sound of his name.
"Really? Is he outside?" she asked in full spirit, making me ball my hands into fists.
"Yeah, he's with the doctor taking instructions" I mumbled.
"Good, he knows im okay. And thank you" she said softly
I spun my head around to face her sitting on the bed, her eyes full of energy but they were softened when she looked at me, a small smile spread across her lips.
"Don't' look at me like that" she laughed raising a brow at me. "Thanks for bringing me in to get checked out. And for Clo's party" she smiled. "You really made her feel special"
"S-Sure" I stuttered, looking away from her smiling face. It was too much, I was more prepared for her giving me a curt thank you and dashing off to her boyfriend by now.
"Sonic" she said softly.
"Y-Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for treating you the way I have been the past few days; but you have to understand that I was really hurt by the things you did"
"No- I get it Ames, you had the right to be mad at me, I just came to fix everything and I ended up making everything worse."
She shook her head in disapproval. "You still fixed it. Me? I ran away from you, the others...and I missed your guys...I missed you. I just didn't know how to accept you so quickly yet." She shrugged.
"Y-you missed me?" I said breathlessly.
"Of course I did Sonikku" she smiled innocently.
At the mention of her nickname for me, I froze. No way. No way. I looked around the station and found an empty cap with a prescribed note.
"Ames did you take any medication?" I asked
"Hm? Yeah, some painkillers" she said holding her head. "Did I say something looney?" she blinked.
"No" I smiled warmly. "Not at all." I said putting the note in my pocket.
I heard the door to Amy's room close suddenly and Shade made an appearance without warning. He looked more like a hedgehog now more than he did a few minutes ago.
Odd...
"Pinkie" Shade breathed in relief.
"Hey..." she smiled sleepily. "Where have you been?" she asked reaching out to him as he came around to her.
He enveloped her in his arms protectively, he fit himself snug between her legs that were hanging over the side of the hospital bed , before opening his eyes to glare at me; claiming his property.
"I'll see you around Ames" I said gravely before stuffing both hands in my pockets; leaving them completely alone.

"I missed you too"
I opened my eyes slowly and looked up at the bland ceiling of my bedroom. A stupid smile formed my lips. She missed me. She really said it. The painkillers might have had a side effect to make her so tired, but I could tell she meant it. I tried to move to get comfortable, but something heavy prevented me from moving, and I stiffened. It was a body, a half-naked body that just happens to belong to none other than Fiona the Fox. She was sprawled against my lap, her leg entwined with mine. I growled in annoyance at the sight. She woke up at the unexpected sound, and her blue orbs glanced my way, looking at me sleepily. A smile formed her lips at the sight of me, and she raised her fluffed tail as she stared at me hungrily.
"Morning blue" she moaned.
"Why are you here?" I asked instead
"Straight to the point huh?" she sighed.
"How did you even get in here?" I asked removing her from my body as chivalrous as I could.
"I came in through the window" she giggled.
"Well get out through the window" I spat sitting up.
My sudden movement caused her to topple off of me and land on her back. She whined and her entire barely clothed body was visible to me. She was wearing a navy blue matching set, rubbing her eyes as she yawned. The sun glared against her fur making her look more like a character out of a comic book.
"Why are you being so rough?" she asked with a slight irritation etched into her tone.
"What are you doing in my bed half naked?! Aren't you supposed to be injured-"
She smiled coyly at me. "So you saw the fight? I have a serious headache from that blow if that's what you mean." She yawned.
"That was a direct hit Fiona. You should have been critically injured." I said swinging my feet over the side of my new bed.
"Speaking of critically injured." She purred, "How's the hedgie?"
"Fiona" I warned in annoyance. "Explain yourself, and do it quick" I said impatiently.
"Fine, fine. I took this" she said tossing me a cylinder she pulled from God knows where.
I caught it and turned it around to view the label; making my eyes widen.
"Are these even legal?"
"Here? No. Everywhere else? Yeah. Mainly because of the side affect."she said stretching her limbs before sliding off of my bed placing one hand on her hip. No doubt she didn't fell self-conscious around me in her underwear.; since I've seen her without them once upon a time.
"I asked Ames this already, but do you guys do that often?"
"What, fight? Like that? Are you crazy?" she asked me wide eyed.
"Says the girl on illegal medication" I shot back, throwing her the cylinder, making the contents rattle a bit.
She caught it effortlessly and sighed. "No, we just don't get along"
"I don't see the need to put her in the hospital, let alone have that wolf hit her" I growled.
"I needed backup! She was going to kill me otherwise!"
"Fiona , I'm pretty sure you started the damn fight in the first place"
"Little faith' she scoffed. "Here I was thinking on surprising you in bed, and I'm being scolded for fighting"
"He could have given her a concussion! Do you take anything seriously?!" I argued, shooting up to my feet.
"I got it!" she barked. "The point is your little girlfriend is fine" she huffed, grabbing, what looked to be her proper clothes. "Damn I hate this job" she muttered.
"Job?" I asked in confusion
"Nothing. Anyway, the party was a hit and you pretty much skyrocketed your popularity in school"
"And Clover?"
"Oh, she's the happiest little spoiled brat" she said rolling her eyes, throwing the fabric over her head.
"I appreciate it okay? What I don't appreciate is you targeting Amy like that when my back is turned. And you still haven't given me a reason why"
"Because she stole my boyfriend" she growled. She grabbed the rest of her belongings and made her exit from my room. I heard the keys I left on the counter jingle as she unlocked the door herself, and saw herself out.
I exhaled loudly...putting my head in my hands. "What the hell?"
Shade ?
I heard a shrill which could only mean my cell was ringing. I stretched my arm acroos to close the distance between me ant the vibrating phone and answerd groggily.
"Sonic here" I sighed.
"Is this a bad time?" Tails said with a chuckle.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I won't talk to you"
"Don't have much of a choice here. How was the party?"
"I wouldn't know, I was spending time with Amy" I said proudly.
"Woah, that was quick, so your all forgiven and everything?"
"No, not completely, she's starting to trust me I think; she said she misses you guys" I smiled warmly.
"Gosh..well, we miss her too. Speaking of missing..."
"I know that tone" I groaned.
"Sally's missing. Is it a coincidence that she flipped after I told her that you went to get Amy?"
"Did you tell her it was a mission?"
"Of course I did, even though we both know it isn't" he chuckled.
"Hilarious Tails." I smiled, running a hand through my Quills. "When did she leave?"
"Over an hour ago?"
"Thanks, I'll call her."
"Sonic. I know you promised me three months, but are you sure you'll be back after that? We can't stay here waiting like ducks"
"Tails, I promise I'll be back. And I swear on my speed that I'll bring Amy with me"
"Were counting on you Sonic" he said with pride
"Yeah" I smiled before hanging up.
After making a quick breakfast my phone began ringing for the second time today. I picked it up as I laced my dirty dishes in the sink and placed it over my ear.
"Sonic here" I said with a yawn.
"Hey..."
"Amy?" I choked, mindlessly grabbing the air looking for water. She continued rambling on and on, and I could barely understand what she was saying until I gulped down an open jug of water.
"S-sorry Ames, could you repeat that?"
"My bad I was rambling" she laughed awkwardly. "I was trying to invite you over to my dad's leave..?"
"Admiral Rose.."
"Yeah, uhm he's scheduled to leave tomorrow." She said quietly.
"You okay?" I asked steadying myself onto a wall.
She laughed awkwardly, making me smile a bit. "Honestly no, Clo and the gang are coming, but since you know, you and him were close, I'd figured you'd want to see him off?"
Clo and the Gang... That one stung... What happened to Sonic and the gang...? Wait, That means...
"Your boyfriend..."
"He's coming too. It's cool if you're uncomfortable since your new and it's a bunch of strangers around but-"
"I'll come"
"W-what?"
"I'm coming. For Your dad...and for you"
"Sonic..."
"Don't sweat it. I didn't want to spend the entire weekend setting up my apartment anyway."
"It's not like you would have anyway" she giggled.
"I'm not as skilled as you are with chores and decorating"
Her bell-like laughed rang through the phone, and was tingling my ears, causing my muzzle to warm and a smile to tug at the corners of my mouth.
"You've got a point." She laughed. 'I can help out...if you'd like?"
"Just you?" I whispered hopefully.
"Unless you want Shade to come?"
"Perfectly okay with just you" I said truthfully.
"Well...good. Is next weekend okay? I have a busy schedule."
"It's a date"
"A room makeover date" she corrected
"A date nonetheless...and its one I'm looking forward to"
"Me too.." she whispered.
But I heard her. Loud and Clear.

This was getting on my nerves. I've called Sally over a million times, and sent just as many texts without a single reply. I know she took the breakup pretty hard, but I was suffering the last few months until I couldn't take it anymore. She never had time for me which I understood. When you're a leader, lots of tings kept you busy, and you wouldn't have time for certain things...specially a relationship. What I couldn't tolerate, was the close proximity of another guy...ten times smarter than I was, and practically stood on the same level as Sal. When I broke the news to her about taking a break, she took it way too well. Weeks after that, she threw a fit, after I told her I hadn't planned on getting back together. Days after that, she wasn't speaking o me, which wasn't out of the ordinary since I was adapted to her being busy in the first place. One afternoon, I was helping Cream move into her new home when I stumbled on an old photo of Amy. My face grew warm at the sight of her. It had already been a whole year since she left.
#Flashback#
"Whoops" Cream said picking up the picture.
"How' d that get there?" she said sweetly "Sorry about that, it was the first thing I wanted to put up" she said smiling sadly. " it was the last time we baked together ..." She sighed, putting the frame back in the table she knocked it from.
"When was the last time you spoke to her?" I asked curiously, putting another box on the floor. Making my way to the picture. They were both holding trays with cupcakes in them, cheese floating merrily beside Cream.
She baked those for everyone and left the day after; leaving a note in her house informing us that she's moving.
"A few days ago actually, or was it yesterday?" she said innocently.
"Did you tell her? y'know , about Cheese?" I asked carefully.
"How could I? She was so happy, saying how much fun she was having; the people she's met and this boy- whoops" she said quickly clapping her hand over her mouth. "That wasn't supposed to come out."
Boy? She could t have gotten over me could she? Has she...?
"Did...did she say anything else...? About her old home...about, me?" I asked, guilt seeping heavy into my chest.
"No, nothing" she sighed. "It's like she's completely forgotten "she said casting a sideway glance at me. "Well I can't blame her, if I were her I'd do the same thing"
"Forget about her past?"
"About her heartbreak" she clarified.
#End Flashback#
I skidded to a stop after reaching her new home and a weight began piling on my chest. I inhaled and straightened my white T-Shirt with a single vertical red stripe over the shoulder, and dusted my jeans from any dust I might have picked up while running. I took a large sum of air into my lungs, before exhaling loudly.
"No time to lose" I nodded before walking up to the front door, giving it a firm knock.
Voices traveled from within the house, but there was that stuck out the most.
"Comming" it said cheerfully.
Seconds later, the door spring open and her face broke into a smile, throwing me off gaurd immediately.
"You came" she said with relief
"Course I did Ames.." I said returning her warm smile.
She was wearing a white dress that touched the top of her knees. A blac string wrapped around her neck to secure the top of the dress, exposed her smooth arms. She wore black flats with her dress, and a high pony-tail finished her entire look.
"You look..."
"Amazing I know, aren't I a lucky guy?" Shade interrupted, slinging his arm over her shoulder, planitng a kiss on her cheek. It took everything in me not to shove him right then and there.
"Shade" she scolded, her face warming from embarrassment.
"I wont be long okay?" he glanced at her briefly.
"Okay, be safe" she said when he let her go.
He bumped shoulders with me 'accidentally' and slipped into a sleek black car i hadn't noticed before.
"Come on in" she smiled apologetically at me, motioning her hand inside.
"Thanks" i nodded before ducking past her, getting a glorious whiff of her perfume.
"Everyone's already in the backyard, we have food on the table and i already put some chili dogs out for you" she said as we walked through the hose alone.
"I appreciate it" i smiled, it faltered when curiosity got the best of me "Wheres Shade going?"
"By his grandmother, the hospital called because she was in distress again" she sighed heavily. "It's kind of a touchy subject for him" she said smiling sadly. "Try not to bring it up okay?"
"Sure.."
Grandma issue huh? Maybe that's why he's clinging to Ames, shes all he's got left...At least he knows to protect something so important to him...
"Hey.." her voice interrupted.
"Huh?" i asked looking curiously at her worried expression "What's wrong?"
"You just froze after holding the door" she whispered, motioning her head towards my hand gripping on the door handle. I released it almost immediately and staggered backwards.
"Sonic, if you're not-"
"No. I'm fine" i said and opened the door suddenly, all eyes turned to me, expressions flat.
"Sonic!" Clover said and dashed over.
"Hey Clover, look i wanted to apologi-oof!"
She hit into my chest with great force, making me stagger back a bit before my sweat dropped as i looked down at her. She raised her face so that it ws mere inches from mine and she grinned.
"Thank You for saving my party" she gleamed.
"Uh- Your w-welcome?" i asked, whislt looking at a giggling Amy.
"Okay, okay, you thanked him, let go" Broody mumbled, sipping on his drink in hand.
"Hmmm, is someone jealous?" she teased him, releasing me from her iron grip. A cloud of air escaped me and i couged.
"Be glad it was a 'thank you' hug" Amy laughed, stretching a hand out to me.
I took it with a smirk and allowed her to pul me up. No sooner had i rose from my crouch, a hard slap stung my back and i yelped in pain, before a large shiver went up my body.I glance arond to see a laughing hedgehog maybe twice my size.
"Mr. Rose" i smiled painfully.
"Soni-ol-boy! Glad you could make it. It means a lot" he said, his forest green orbs shone with bravery, and ambition, much like Amy's, although hers were lighter. Her mother made a scowling face, which still looked appealing, her light blue eyes were showing pure love and sadness all at once, and it remindid him of Amy's sad eyes. Her pout was a complete copy of Amy's as she made her face up as well.
"Dad" she groaned.
"Honey, you know that was uncalled for." she scolded, his response being a peck to her cheek.
"I'm sorry for his behavior" she smiled apologetically at me. "He's had too much to drink"
I noticed her burning cheeks and could only smile at the sight of them. Everyone here was having a great time. Amy made new friends-good friends. Her family may be rocky, but their love for one another was strong.
It only made me feel worse, knowing she could have had it back home...if i wasn't such a dick to her. I finally knew what Cream mean by her wanting to forget her heartbreak. It seemed as though that's all we brought her.
She's happy here.
Happy without me.
A sad smile crept up my face as i joined them, an uncomfortable feeling filling up my chest with every smile that played off her lips.
...
Awwww...poor Sonic. The more he spends time with Amy, the more he realizes how much he screwed up...will he get over it? Will they ever move forward from their new found trust? Only one way to find out!
Look out for the next mind boggling Chapter!
Chapter 6 - New Beginnings With Him
