The following side story takes place close to the ending of the original story. Before the major event happens.

It references a different fanfiction but I will leave it to the reader to figure out the little easter egg.

The sound of typing could be heard in Amy's bedroom. Her room was messy and slightly in disarray but she could care less. She had a deadline to meet and she was nearly complete in her task. Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail and her outfit..could be better.

Alright...almost done...

and with a final type,she was complete!

"I'm done! Yes!"

"Congrats Ames!"

Amy quickly turned around and stood up defensively to see Sonic standing by her window.

"What the hell are you doing here!?"

"..Your window was open so I let myself in."

Oh right...I was airing out my room.

"Your room looks like a wreck. What happened?"

"Final Assignment Stuff. Rouge always wants me to finish early in case something happens and I can't get it done alongside the other students. Being a fighter puts me at risk you know?"

Sonic sat down on her bed,her sheets crumpled into a ball.

"Yeah,I see what she means. She wants you to be able to graduate on time."

Amy smiled as she closed the window and went to clean up a little.

"She's always been concerned about me..ever since my mental health took a decline,she's always took the extra step to make sure school wouldn't be too stressful for me..even if it means doing assignments and early tests during summer."

They both let out a laugh. It's been awhile since they hung out in Amy's room like this. The last time was when he had just found out that she was alive all along.

"Ha..Anyways what was this final assignment?"

After she finished cleaning and she went over to her laptop and opened up her assignment,which was already submitted online.

"Care to see some of it?"

He smiled and sat next to her using the spare chair she had in her room.

"An essay?"

"Yeah..in English we have to write how we've improved in the past few years,basically every change we went through in high school."

Sonic chuckled as he scrolled through the essay.

"Makes sense,but you probably had way more to write about huh?"

"Y-yeah..I guess."

He stopped at a certain section to read it.

This year wasn't my easiest year to say the least. At first things were going smoothly,but I hit a rough patch in March. I somehow got through it and I even learnt how to forgive someone who hurt me immensely. Nowadays,we're actually good friends. My mental health is getting much better and I've even learnt how to control my panic attacks to an extent. I still get them but I rarely get overwhelming ones. I even learnt how to embrace the way I look these days; I've always had a small self-image issue since I was younger but I'm slowly learning to appreciate how I look and act.

Amy could feel her cheeks becoming red,this paragraph was about these past few months.

"Huh. You didn't tell me you finally forgave me. When did this happen?"

At his comical tone,She couldn't help but laugh a little.

"I dunno,this assignment made me do a lot of reflecting and I realized that I forgave you awhile ago. It just happened somehow. But..Yeah..I forgive you now."

Before she could say another word,she found herself in the tightest hug she could imagine.

One that she could barely breathe in.

"Thank you...You have no idea how relieved I am."

"Yeah yeah..now can you let me go..? I can't breathe!"

Sonic quickly let her go at her request,smiling at her.

Before they could say anything,she heard her email on her laptop.

There's no way that's Rouge,She's never awake at this hour.

She opened her email to find,an annoyance.

"Ugh..Not this again.."

"What's wrong?"

Subject Line: Heyyyy! I have my new fanfic ready!

Hi Amy! How are you? I hope you're doing well and all that! Anyways I wrote a new Sonamy fanfic and I would be sooooo happy if you read it!

Hugs and smoooches from your #1 Fan!

"This girl again..Ever since she got hackers to find out my email,she's been spamming me for months.."

"Can't you just block her?"

"I wish I could..but she knows my email,she could just make a new account and do this all over again. It's just a pain in the ass."

"..Anyways she's a writer? What's Sonamy anyway?"

"Think about what you just asked."

They stayed silent for a moment. With no response,Amy sighed and turned towards him.

"Ok..let me put it bluntly. Sonamy is the ship name for us. They're taking both of our names and putting them together to say that they ship us. Like they want us to get into a relationship or something like that."

His face quickly turned red at hearing her explanation.

"Yep..pretty embarrassing right? Anyways,this girl isn't even the one writing these stories. Just taking her text and putting it into a search engine takes me to a different website and a different writer who posted it years ago. She's just a crazed fangirl ya know?"

"That's seriously messed up."

"Yeah..I always read them anyway. They're super embarrassing half the time but they're still well written stories and I enjoy reading them..you get what I mean?"

"Yeah..I kinda get it. You're curious what stories they came up with so you read it for |||||||| and giggles."

"Woah. Language there."

"Anyways Wanna read it together? We can make a night out of it you know?"

Amy sighed and got up from her chair.

"Sure,I don't see why not. I'll go get a snack."

Amy walked down the stairs to find her father stuffing his face with a swiss roll.

"Father! I thought you were starting your diet today!"

Shadow quickly stuffed away the sweet treat and wiped his mouth.

"Rosebud! What a surprise! I thought you had an assignment!"

Amy sighed as she started to make popcorn in the microwave.

"I did. I just finished and Sonic's over. We're gonna read some fanfictions for a bit. Sorry for the noise in advance."

"...You and him..alone in your bedroom..?"

"Yes.? What about it? We're just reading?"

"My dear Rosebud. You have no idea what men think when they're alone with a girl such as yourself. He could..take advantage of you."

"Father relax! You know very well Sonic is not that kind of guy. And plus He doesn't see me that way. You need to let your dad radar chill a bit for once."

"I know..just keep your door open and scream if you need me...I'm not opposed to breaking part of our house to keep you safe."

Amy poured the popcorn into a large bowl and starting heading up stair, ignoring her Father's nonsensical speech.

Entering her room,she found Sonic reading ahead.

"h..Hey! You read ahead of me!"

"Sorry! You were taking awhile and I was curious!"

She sighed and placed the bowl on her desk,sat down and started scrolling back up to the top.

"At least let me catch up."

They finished the story in less than 30 minutes.

"Well...that was..a read"

"Yeah,it seemed like it was a happy ending. Do you even sing?"

"Ehehe..a little when I feel like it."

"I would love to hear it someday honestly. I've never heard it after all."

Sonic rubbed in neck in embarrassment.

"O-only if you sing with me."

"Oh come on,you know I can't sing"

"Are you kidding? I've heard it! It's non offensive and it's pleasing to the ears. If we lived in a different peaceful world,you could have been idol hehe."

Amy blushed and looked towards her laptop once again.

"Ehn. Anyways it was actually not that bad. It's an interesting tale to say the least. I'm surprised someone could come up with this idea. But then again Tales like N*er exist."

"Yeah..that timeline is just plain confusing."

They stayed silent before bursting into laughter.

They were casually talking about a story that was about them becoming a couple and falling in love.

It was odd but then again,their experience together wasn't a normal friendship.

They faced death together and had to go through a rough patch.

But they knew one thing above all else.

They were still friends and they could laugh together and get along like the old days.

Even though,one of them hoped they could become something more.
