Sonic and I were slowly leaning in towards each other. Somehow, we were about to kiss. I didn't know why or how we ended up in the situation, but neither of us were stopping.

Just as our lips were about to meet, he finally leaned away. "I can't," he whispered, closing his

eyes. I swore I heard a hint of sadness in his voice.

"I know," I whispered back, feeling rather embarrassed and stupid, "I'm sorry."

Help looked up at me, a small smile creeping on his lips. "You shouldn't be the one apologizing. It's

my fault."

"I was -"

"Ames, don't blame yourself. It's fine, nothing happened."

"Well..." I pursed my lips. "I suppose you're right."

"When aren't I?" he smiled cockily.

I smiled back at him, hitting his shoulder lightly. "I do believe that's a first, Mister Not-So-Smartass."

"Oh, that hurt!"

I laughed, "maybe you shouldn't be so conceited all the time."

"Conceited? You think I am conceited?" his smile got bigger, causing him to flash his perfectly

white teeth.

"No! I know you are," I returned the huge smile, probably looking like a moron.

"Oh, Amy. I feel like we've drifted apart. You clearly don't know anything about me!" he said over

dramatically. "I'm Sonic the not conceited hedgehog," his smile returned, wider than ever.

I started laughing, causing him to chuckle along with me. His joining in cause me to go into a

sudden attack of uncontrollable laughter.

Soon Sonic and I were on the floor, crying and laughing, being our usual silly selves.

No matter what awkward and uncomfortable thing that happened between us, it never had any effect for long. Sonic and I would always find a way to get things back to normal. That's something I had

always loved about Sonic, and our friendship.

Nothing and nobody ever came between us. We were inseparable, even though we were just friends. We rarely had any problems, when we did, we calmly talked it out.

Sonic wasn't like any other guy I had ever known. He was okay with talking things out, and expressing his feelings. He actually preferred it. To him, no friendship was a real friendship if you couldn't trust the other person with anything and everything. Normally, it should be no relationship was a real relationship without trust, but sometimes you need a best friend more than you need a lover. Besides, friendships tend to last longer than most relationships.

I hated the idea, now more than ever, of telling everything to someone whom you were dating, then

you break up and never talk again. You never know what they might spread around. People were stuck up bitches and ass holes, such things were always expected from ex's.

Friends were different, though. No matter what were to happen, you know they'll never tell anything you ever said.

The only people you could ever trust were friends. Best friends. A best friend like Sonic.

Sonic took in a deep breath, finally able to stop laughing. "Well, that was funny," he chuckled.

"Really? I thought it was completely lame," I smiled.

"Not again!" he lightly laughed, sitting up, knowing we would soon end up laughing again. "Are you as hungry as I am?"

"That depends," I sat up with him, "how hungry are you?"

Sonic opened his mouth to reply, but his stomach answered for him, growling.

I couldn't help but laugh, "I guess I am. Let's order a pizza!"

"And a scary movie?" he asked, smiling hopeful.

"Do you honestly think I would order a pizza on a Friday night without watching a scary movie? I'm

not stupid you know," I punched his arm lightly.

"You're not? I thought you were, considering you always copy me on every test we take!"

My eyes widened and my mouth opened into an 'o' shape. "Oh, you better run. Run, hedgehog, run while you can!"

Chuckling, he started to run, slow enough that I could keep him in sight, but fast enough that I couldn't catch him.

As he headed down the stairs, I had a sudden idea that was so mad, it might be stupid enough to

work. I jumped over the railing, falling down the main floor of the house. I landed smoothly in Sonic's arms, as planned, but we fell to the ground. Thankfully he was able to catch me, giving me a much softer landing than I would have gotten otherwise, not that Sonic wouldn't catch me. I always had him there to catch me when I needed him.

"Gotcha," I winked, getting off him. I extended my hand, offering to help him up.

Smiling a rather evil smile, he took my hand, doing nothing more, giving me a second to realize what he was doing.

"No," I began to argue, and take my hand away from his grip, but it was too late. He had already

pulled me back down to the ground, and he was suddenly standing before me.

"Amy, how did you get on the floor? You're so clumsy sometimes," he laughed before extending his hand out, now offering to help me off the floor.

I sighed, taking his hand. I sat there for a moment, trying to pull him down, but failed. Miserably.

Ignoring my weak attempt to get him down, Sonic swiftly moved his arm upward, getting me up off the floor as if I were a feather.

"Just for that, I'm not getting you any chili dogs," I smiled. I may not have the physical strength to beat Sonic, but I knew all his other weak points.

"Oh, Ames you wouldn't really do th-"

Sonic suddenly got interrupted by his phone yelling that someone was calling him. He had the most

annoying ring tone I had ever heard. I really couldn't imagine why someone would want to call the artist of the song. His voice was horrid.

A very high pitched male voice was singing "I've got a friend, my friend's calling me, yeah, you haven't got one, no wee hey. My friend likes me, yeah, calling me on my phone. Ha-ha, I got a frie"

Sonic answered his phone, ending the annoying song. "Hey Litsa, what's up?" he smiled.

I felt my mood slightly drop hearing her name. Perfect little Litsa. She had no idea how lucky she

was. She had Sonic and Scourge wanted her. Those are two pretty damn amazing guys.

"Why, what's wrong?" Sonic's voice suddenly turned worried.

"Uhh..." he looked over at me, as if she had mentioned me. "How 'bout you come down here? I still

don't think I should leave Amy."

I smiled. He really wasn't going to leave, even though I had probably seemed perfectly fine by now.

Either that or he couldn't go until he ate all the pizza and our movie ended.

"Okay, see you soon. I love you," he smiled at his phone before shutting it.

"What's up?" I asked, as he slid his phone back in his pocket.

"Litsa wanted to talk to me about something. She sounded sort of upset. It'll only take a minute so

I told her to come here. I ain't gonna leave you," he smiled.

- - Litsa's POV - -

I took in a deep breath. This was it. I had to tell Sonic. I had to tell him about Scourge, and everything that had just happened. He needed to know that I kissed and fell in love with Scourge.

I knocked three times on Amy's front door.

Moments later, the pink hedgehog opened the door, smiling warmly. "Litsa, hey," she stepped aside,

gesturing for me to come in.

"Hey, Amy," I returned the smile. "How've you been?"

"Better thanks to Sonic," she replied, her smile got noticeably bigger when she spoke his name.

"That's good to hear. Where is he, anyways?" I quickly scanned the areas of Amy's house that I could see, not seeing him.

"Lookin' for me?" the blue hedgehog suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grinning.

"Yes, we need to talk."

"I almost kissed Amy," he suddenly blurted out, his smiling vanishing, being replaced with a serious look.

In the corner of my eye I saw Amy slowly retreating into another room. I quickly caught eye contact

with her and have her a thanking smile.

I turned my attention back to Sonic, trying not to get mad. He almost kissed her. He almost cheated,

but didn't. As for me, I did.

Before I could respond, Sonic continued talking, "we got caught up in the moment, but nothing

happened. I ended it. I couldn't do that to you," the corner of his lips pulled up slightly, into a

small, honest smile.

Telling Sonic suddenly got one hundred times harder.

How was I supposed to tell him about Scourge, if he cared so much about me? He couldn't even kiss Amy. That was bad. He was truly in love with her, wether he knew it or not, and he couldn't kiss her. Maybe if I was out of the picture, Sonic could realize it, and they could get together and be happy. Maybe we could still go out together as a group, but a little mixed up.

Who am I kidding? There is no way Sonic and Amy would want to go out with their ex's who cheated on them.

"I'm sorry. That kind of just came out on it's own," Sonic said.

I looked up at him to see he looked worried. I sighed. "Sonic, it's fine. Don't worry about it, you didn't kiss her, that's what matters, right?"

"Yeah," he whispered, lowering his head. "So, what'd you wanna talk about?"

I froze. I couldn't tell him. Not now. Not after what he just told me. "I, uh. I forget," I lied, slowly taking steps backwards, towards the door. "If I remember, I'll call!" I opened the door, and quickly ran out.

I opened the door to the awaiting car, and got in.

"Did you tell him?" Scourge asked.

"No, not yet. I need a little more time."

He sighed, "why? What's so hard?"

"He almost kissed Amy," I explained, "but he didn't because he couldn't do that to me. How can you expect to tell him after that?"

"You have to tell him before next Friday," he growled, and sped off back to my place.
