Sonic and Amy

Best of Friends

Consider this my official apology for the last two chapters. Though I'm probably beating a dead horse now, I have to say, I can't get over my disappointment in myself for releasing only two chapters in the last six months. But now I'm fixing that! Besides the motivation about having to leave and not have Sonic CD anymore, I just got another bit of motivation. Until now, my drive to write SonAmy fics was dying. But because of this one thing that happened, the drive I had when I first started writing came back! So, with that all said, I'd like to proudly give you the next chapter of Best of Friends! Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Reunited With You

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the present, the two hedgehogs who had been retelling this story together had now stopped, locked in a tight embrace, after remembering when they almost lost each other forever.

"I thought that... I wouldn't get a chance to tell you how much I love you... I felt this terrible cold in my heart..." Amy whispered into Sonic's ear as they hugged closely, "I..."

Amy couldn't continue, and Sonic heard his beloved start sobbing, and felt her warm, affectionate tears as she nuzzled his neck. He brought his hand up to her head and caressed her, kissing her neck and face, saying, "I was worried that, when I was hit by the jolt, I wouldn't get up again to see your soft eyes or feel your tender hug... Before I passed out, all I could think of was how much I loved you, and how much I wanted to kiss you..."

Amy then sobbed louder, touched deeply by Sonic's words, and she buried her face into his shoulder and cried, gripping Sonic to keep from losing him ever again. Sonic then put his hands on her waist and pulled her away to look into her teary eyes. They did nothing but look, stare, gaze into each other's soulful, loving eyes. Sonic's own eyes threatened to water, but he willingly let it happen. As tears streamed down his cheeks as well, they only continued their staring contest, trying their best never to look away from the one holding them.

After what seemed like years, the two drew close, and pressed their lips together, their eyes not leaving each others'. Soft lips massaged and caressed their souls, as they kissed with a blaze in their hearts that had brought them together.

They ended their kiss, and looked at each others' eyes again, seeing nothing but love and care within them, until finally, Amy burst into tears again, and pressed her face into Sonic's chest, sobbing once more. Sonic smiled, his own tears flowing again, and he ran his finger along her face and tilted her head up to his. He leaned down and placed kiss after kiss on her face, each one as tender as the last. Finally, after one last kiss on her lips, Sonic drew back and smiled, running a hand along her face. He lightly touched her mouth, at which, she broke out in a beautiful smile, and Sonic's heart raced.

"I love you, Amy."

"I love you, Sonic..."

Amy pulled herself back up to Sonic's face and they laid down again, smiling with love plastered all over their faces, and then, Amy said, "Now comes the best part of the story..."

"Yeah, this was the part I had been waiting for, too."

Indeed, because, back in time, back on the Little Planet, Sonic went through the last door in Wacky Workbench, only to come upon the most breathtaking view he had seen on this planet: Stardust Speedway.

Sonic had to stop and look out over the tracks that extended forever in any direction. All over, twinkling lights and spotlights lit up a magnificient golden track. The million pinpricks of light danced in the dusk, and Sonic couldn't help but imagine Amy and himself sitting together, gazing at the beauty of this place. And then gazing at the one sitting next to them. Sonic burned with love, and he knew he would never feel right unless he found Amy and they joined their lives. He needed her, and he knew she needed him.

Without wasting anymore time, Sonic proceeded, racing through this speedway, heading for the other side, where he knew Amy must be. He could feel it in his heart.

However, at the other side of the tracks, by himself, Metal Sonic waited, thinking, Ah, so you made it after all, didn't you, Sonic? Good, it'll be sweet to be the one who kills you. And your girlfriend...

The menacing robot chuckled evilly as he waited for his organic counterpart to arrive to this place, where Sonic would have to face him, one-on-one.

Or so he thought...

Because, lurking around Metal Sonic, was a small, undetectable remote camera robot. It had set its sights on Metal Sonic, and meanwhile, from another isolated part of the tracks, Eggman looked at the monitor in his pod and thought, Good, that fool must be waiting for Sonic to arrive. He must want to do away with him personally. Well, if I can't get rid of Sonic, then I'll get rid of his metal cousin! Or better yet, both of them!!

Eggman then recalled the robot and prepared for an attack on the two Sonics.

In the midst of all of this, on the other side of the track, waiting for the blue hero, Amy stared out into the speedway, thinking she felt Sonic's presence here at last. She kept her eyes trained on the golden tracks, waiting to see that amazing blue blur come to save her.

And that's exactly what Sonic was doing. He ran as fast as he could, which was easier for the hedgehog since this was a speedway. The tracks were winding; some stopped dead; some split apart and were running side by side; and many boosters lie on the ground, speeding Sonic along this raceway.

Sonic's paths were taking ridiculously quick turns and detours. One moment he was running along a flat track, when all of a sudden, a hole in the tracks appeared and he fell through, suddenly racing up and down a hill-like track.

All over the place, springboards sent him flying into the air, changing his track yet again. At one point, a springboard sent him into a tube, flying upwards and then out the other side, going towards a vertical ramp. He raced for it as fast as he could and went straight up the wall. But then, he found the track turn upside down and send him back the way he came, falling back down to where he started with a thud.

Sonic stood up after the fall, and thought, Man, I thought a speedway was a straight run, with some tough turns, but not this!

Sonic then turned around and went back through the tube he came from, and then, before he exited the other side, grabbed the edge of the tube and swung to the side, avoiding the springboard and continuing on. However, he didn't go very far until he suddenly ran right into a spinning cannon. Literally.

Before Sonic knew it, he was shot up into the air from the cannon and was now on a completely different track. This track appeared incomplete, and he had to jump in order to avoid falling. After a few jumps, the track went down at a blistering pace, one which did not bother Sonic, but the sudden hills of track at the bottom did.

I'm gonna go vertigo by the end of this track.

But Sonic persevered, knowing that he must keep going. Though he didn't know Amy was really at the end of this wild track, he felt as if she was near. Her presence felt so strong, that he couldn't believe it if she wasn't. He knew there was only one way to find out. Keep running.

Sonic was nearing the end of this first section of track, before a flat area that seemed to have been used for a pit-stop. But Sonic had to stop dead as he got close. The track was out. The only way over was from another track that came from above.

Sonic looked at the gap to reach the track that came from above. He would have to jump over 60 feet to reach the track from here.

Sonic thought for a moment about whether or not he should do this. But he realized that, if he didn't go as fast as he could, Amy might not be with him anymore. So, Sonic ran back about 100 feet, and turned.

Please be my wings, Amy.

He then blasted towards the gap, getting ready to make the leap of his life. At the last second, he pushed off from the edge of the track and launched himself from it. His speed was incredible, but even with it, he watched, as if in slow motion, as he tried to clear the chasm that separated him and Amy.

He could hear his heart pounding, he could feel the sweat dropping from his body, he could feel gravity pulling on him.

But he could feel Amy... And that made him forget everything else. All he worried about now was getting to her, and then, Sonic watched as his feet touched the track, successful.

He smiled as he stood on the track, so close to finding this girl he loved.

He blasted off, continuing on to the next section of the track, which was just as winding and crazy as the one before it. Immediately, the track went straight down. Sonic took it and rushed down the track, only to find a sudden hole in the track again.

He fell down 50 feet to the section of track beneath it, and landed on his feet. By now, Sonic was prepared for anything, and falls were the least of his worries.

He then took off again, going along a straight piece of track, when suddenly, he was shot up in the air by another springboard. He watched as many different track lanes passed as he flew upwards. Finally, he hit the very tallest one and ran forward, into another tube. He was shot out the other side, down a steep slope, and then through a loop.

Whoa, didn't see that coming!

But then, he hit a booster on the ground and went blindingly faster, and hit another loop. He was then launched into the air from a ramp, and came down on another piece of track, another hilly one parallel to another just like it.

Immediately, he rushed up the slope, then down the slope, then up again, and then down... a straight fall.

Sonic, though, kept his feet glued to the track, and flew down it. It sloped back up and he raced for a structure that he saw for the first time.

His speed was insane. Flying by at almost 500 miles per hour, the blue hedgehog was fulfilling his title pretty well. But suddenly, as he entered the structure, he stopped completely... stopped by a sheet of rubber, meant as a buffer.

With his face pressed into it, along with his whole body, he muffledly said, "I was going for a record too..."

But once he had dislodged himself, he looked into the structure and saw pandemonium. All over the walls were springboards going every which way, spinning cannons floating in the air, and the huge exit door on the other side.

Well... fun.

Sonic decided to start working through this jungle gym of madness, rushing forward to hit a springboard. He flew straight up into the air and into a cannon, which then stopped and fired the hedgehog ammunition... Back the way he came. But before that happened, Sonic was shot into another cannon, which launched him even further up into the air and outside the structure.

He fell back down to the ground, landing easily, and looked back into the structure.

OK, let's try that again.

Immediately, Sonic rushed back inside, though this time, he stopped at the first springboard and waited for the cannon. He then saw it come spinning back around to shoot him forward, and he jumped on the springboard. As he was thrown into the air, he went into the cannon as it pointed up and towards the exit. He was fired in the right direction this time, but too high, for Sonic then hit another springboard and was launched back in the other direction. In frustration, Sonic then rolled into a ball and pushed his rotation forward, and soon was able to change course. He flew back down the tracks below and spun forward, hitting another springboard. He was launched this time towards the exit, but first, he hit another cannon that had been pointing back the way he came.

Come ON! Not again!

But this time, when he entered the cannon, he found that it kept spinning with him inside as one side of the barrel slid shut next to him. As the cannon continued to spin, he saw a button that he realized would fire him out when he wanted to.

Alright, then let's get a little closer.

He watched carefully, waiting to see the exit that was right side up, and time it so he shot across the rest of this insane structure. Finally, he saw the moment, and he mashed the button under his gloved hand, launching himself across the sky and near to the exit. But just before he made it, one more springboard appeared right in his way.

Oh no you don't!

Sonic then jumped and came down on the springboard, and then grabbed the edges of the springboard. As it tried to throw him off, Sonic, with all the resolve he had, held on, and after it tried to bounce him, and pushed from it and landed on the ground behind it.

He stepped out of the structure, one more victory under his belt.

It wasn't long now to Amy, Sonic felt. He knew he only had a little while longer to go.

But before he got there, he first ran and went into another tube. Little did Sonic know at first that there was a series of tubes he'd have to go through before reaching the end. As he raced down one tube, he soon hit a springboard and went straight up. But instead of going back the way he came, he flew straight up until he curved in another direction.

Great, this is gonna be a headache.

Up and down, around and around, the blue hedgehog tried his best to navigate the sickening maze of pipes. Eventually, however, he flew up really high in a pipe, and exited the maze at last. He unrolled and looked up to see... the structure he had just made it out of.

He looked at it with frustration, and then turned around and bounded back into the tube. He flew straight down and hit another springboard, and then leaned right, to go away from the structure. This time, the pipe branched off and led further to his goal. However, he saw that he passed through another pipe going up, and then flew into a third one. He fell down again and hit another springboard. As he flew back up the curved pipe, he leaned to the left and stopped in the tube he had passed. He fell down this one, hit a springboard again, and was sent back up into the air. He felt confident as he pushed to the right yet again, but found out that he had just went back into the last tube. He went back through the process and then flew up the center tube again. This time, as he climbed the center tube, he reached a second opening and pushed through it. Finally, he emerged into open air, and didn't see a structure.

But in its place, he saw an ominous sight: A huge electrical storm, coming from errie red clouds. Sonic knew, just by the sight of that, that Amy was there. She must be, being held by Eggman and Metal Sonic.

It's time to put an end to this adventure.

Immediately, Sonic raced for the tracks under the storm and prepared for the worst.

Meanwhile, Eggman, who had placed his camera right where Sonic had raced by, said to himself, "Good, then it's time to get to work. Just two meddlesome hedgehogs to deal with."

Eggman then took off and headed towards the place he knew Sonic was going to be in a few moments.

Sonic was nearing it, then, as he climbed up and down some more ramps. He ran through a loop, and then soon reached one last stretch of tracks.

Then, he reached a wall. This time, however, it wasn't a wall made from the tracks. He looked up at it, and saw that the top was guarded with spikes. He looked around to see if there was a way around it when suddenly, he heard a metallic clang behind him.

He didn't even move, and then heard a deadly voice drawl, "So, Sonic, you finally made it."

Sonic then turned around to see the one who had stolen Amy away from him. Metal Sonic chortled at Sonic, pointing his finger at him and saying, "Now, it's time to decide who is better: Flesh, or machine."

Sonic clenched his fists and got ready to fight, but then, Metal Sonic mocked, "Relax, my friend. Heh heh heh... I don't want to fight you. At least not yet. No... I'm more interested in watching you suffer first."

Sonic lowered his fists but stayed alert, and answered, "What do you want, Metal Sonic?"

The robot chuckled and said, "Why, I just want to challenge you to the one thing you and I are the best at..."

Sonic understood, and replied, with a little more confidence, "So, you wanna race, huh? Well, let's go."

"Glad you agree, but first, the rules... and, of course, the prize."

"Prize?"

Sonic, though confused, felt dread and anger rise within him, and all Metal Sonic did was point, past the wall, which became see-through at that moment, and Sonic looked.

There were no words to describe the feelings he felt inside of him. For across the track, he beheld, atop a structure, Amy, still tied to the pole.

At that same time, Amy, who had scanned the track a hundred times, suddenly saw a wall in the distance become clear, and she looked and saw, her mouth falling open, the boy she had fallen for in one day.

"SONIC!"

"AMY!"

The two were struck to finally see each other once again, but then, Amy began to descend into the structure.

"Hey!" Amy cried out, shocked by the sudden drop, "SONIC!!!"

"AMY! What are you doing to her?!" Sonic then accused Metal Sonic, becoming enraged.

"Relax, Sonic, she is just going into the structure. Let me tell you the rules of our little race."

Sonic was angry, but he waited to hear what Metal Sonic said.

"It's rather simple. All you have to do is beat me to the door of that structure. The first one that passes through that door will trigger a sensor, and the door will close. The winner then can do what they please with the prize... heh heh heh..."

Sonic gritted his teeth, and yelled, "You fiend! I won't let you hurt Amy!"

"Oh, was it that obvious? Too bad, but in any case, once I win and kill your friend, then we'll see if you really can beat me in a fight!"

Sonic's eyes blazed with fury and determination, and he prepared to take off and beat this menace, when all of a sudden, a very familiar laugh filled the air.

"AH HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Wait one second! I think a rule needs to be added!"

At that moment, both Metal and normal Sonic turned to the sky and saw Eggman fly in, ready to weigh in on this challenge.

"EGGMAN!" Sonic shouted, and Metal Sonic glared at the scientist.

"I have a rule for the loser! Whoever loses this contest will be destroyed by me! You'll have nowhere to hide from my laser! And you better not fall behind, because I have no qualms about killing slow defectors," At this, Eggman shot a glance at Metal Sonic, "Or pains in my side!" Eggman then looked at Sonic.

"Well, fine with me. I'll be the one who still comes out on top!" Metal Sonic boasted.

At that moment, Metal Sonic turned to the wall, caused it to open, and yelled, "READY SET GO!!!!"

Without warning, Metal Sonic blasted off at blinding speed away from Sonic and Eggman. Sonic, however, followed hot on his metal counterpart's tail, while Eggman turned on his laser, which burned into the track as he blasted after the two Sonics.

It was an all-out race to the finish, and Metal Sonic was in the lead for the moment. The track was hilly and full of obstacles. The track would suddenly dead end and the racers would need to jump to avoid stopping suddenly. Spikes lay around the track in bunches, and some steep hills would cause Sonic some problems.

He raced forward, though, fighting against all of this, and passed up Metal Sonic, who yelled, "You might be fast, but you're nothing to me!!"

Metal Sonic then activated jets in his feet and launched forward like a rocket. Sonic looked back and just barely got out of the way of the screaming fast Metal Sonic.

"HA! You'll never beat me, you FOOL!"

Sonic, however, was not deterred, and pressed forward as fast as he could. He made a jump over some spikes, landed in one of the track ditches, quickly jumped out of it, and kept going.

Metal Sonic had to cool off his boosters, but was far ahead. Meanwhile, Eggman was closing in with his laser pod, yelling, "You're both going down today!!"

Sonic, however, knew, with all the power and speed he had, that it would not be him. He then pumped his legs as hard as he could to push forward, and raced past Metal Sonic again.

But unfortunately, as he looked back to see if Metal Sonic was boosting forward yet, he turned forward again to see one of the track walls appear!

He tried to jump in time, but hooked his foot on the top of the wall and fell on his face. Stopped dead, Metal Sonic blew past, and Sonic got up as fast as he could. But he had come upon extremely bad luck. As he ran again, he soon found himself contending with a hill, and he couldn't pick up speed.

Things were bleak for the blue hedgehog. His opponent was far ahead of him, he couldn't get any speed on this hill, and Eggman was just about to hit him with his lethal laser.

Sonic thought for a split second that he had failed. But then, he remembered what he had just seen a few minutes ago. Amy... She was here. She was in danger from Metal Sonic. He had made it all this way.

Did I come all this way, trying to save Amy, just to give up now?! NO! I WON'T GIVE UP!!!

At that moment, Sonic's legs felt as if they were as light as air, and he moved them faster then he ever had in his life. He blasted over the hill and blazed down it, topping 750 miles per hour!

Metal Sonic, at that moment, looked back to see that Sonic was gaining an unbelievable amount of ground behind him.

"WHAT?!"

Metal Sonic then charged his boosters and blasted off, but not before Sonic had become dead even with him. They were tipping the speedometer at 800 mph, and the two hedgehogs were coming close to the finish. Inside the structure, Amy watched as the two Sonics raced for her. She couldn't tell which one was which, but she just prayed that the one who came through the door was the one that she loved.

Eggman, at this final stage, fired up the rocket engines on his own pod and roared towards the end as well, catching up with the two racers.

It was at an end. The racers were instants away from the door. Sonic's heart drummed in his chest. Suddenly, everything went mute. He couldn't hear Metal Sonic's boosters or Eggman's laser hitting the ground. He couldn't even hear his own footfalls. All he could hear was his own heartbeat.

Finally, at the structure's door, it ended. Two blurs suddenly appeared right in front of the door and it slammed shut instantly.

Amy was witness to all of this, but when the door shut suddenly, everything went black.

It was quiet after this for a few seconds. She was afraid to speak, afraid it was the evil Metal Sonic who had won. But her heart told her that nothing would have kept Sonic from her, and so finally, she whispered to the darkness, "...Sonic...?"

There was silence. She was terrified, and then she said more audibly, "Sonic?!"

And then from the darkness across from her came...

"...Amy?"

It was at that moment that lights suddenly illuminated the two inside the structure, and told the truth about who was outside.

At those last moments, Sonic and Metal Sonic were dead even. There was not a thing either could do to run faster. At that very final instant, Sonic dove forward, sticking his hands out to trip the sensor first, and shut Metal Sonic out. The door slammed shut behind him, and a heavy crash hit the door hard.

On the outside of the door, Metal Sonic yelled, "NOOOOO!!!!"

Metal Sonic hit the door so hard, he was immediately shut down, his CPU destroyed by the force of the impact. Eggman's laser then hit Metal Sonic, but when the scientist saw no reaction from his former creation, he knew that the robot was no more. Eggman knew that he posed little threat to Sonic now that he finally had back his friend, so Eggman quickly departed to Metallic Madness, partly satisfied.

But inside, there lay a more profound feeling in the air. Sonic's eyes beheld the girl he had sought for this whole adventure, and now, he finally found her.

The first thing said was by Amy, which was the customary, "Sonic! You did it! You saved me!"

Sonic smiled upon seeing the euphoria on the girl's face, and quickly ran over to untie her. As he touched Amy's arm, however, the event that happened kept the two from ever truly expressing their feelings until the day they revisited this adventure.

At that moment, Sonic, as he untied Amy, felt suddenly nervous about what to say.

Should I just say 'I love you'? Man, I hadn't thought about this part.

But unbeknownst to him, Amy, as her bonds were loosened, thought, Uh oh... What should I do? Should I kiss him? Or...

But before anymore nervousness could cloud up this moment, Amy was free, and the two could do nothing but turn to each other and embrace. This first hug warmed them both deeply, and neither one felt strange to do it.

Sonic told the girl he finally had back, "I was so worried for you, Amy. I'm so glad you're alright."

Amy then replied to him, tightening her hug, "I knew you'd make it, Sonic. I knew in my heart you'd come through for me."

Then, they moved back and looked into each others' eyes for the first real time. Though they weren't sure about what to do in this moment, they felt that just being quiet like this was good.

But back in the present, neither one thought that what they had done had expressed what they had finally told each other tonight.

Sonic and Amy were both sitting on the couch, facing each other at this point in the story.

Sonic's eyes turned to romance, and he told the beautiful Amy in his arms, "I wish that, when we had this moment all that time ago, I had done this."

Sonic leaned forward then, and Amy willingly met him, and they kissed. But unlike every other kiss from tonight, the two now kissed to make up for all the missed kisses they could have had if they had told each other their love in that small room on the Little Planet.

Sonic and Amy moved their lips feverishly, wanting to taste the other's love, wanting to feel every part of their lover's lips. Sonic laid Amy gently on her back and took her, holding her face and kissing her as deeply as his love went for her. She followed, beginning to blush at how wonderful this felt, loving how Sonic's own blue face started to turn red as well.

Sonic then surprised her, but only made her want to kiss him harder. His tongue licked her lips, then, and she could think of nothing but to meet his tongue with hers, kissing him madly.

Sonic's soft, warm body pressed up against Amy as he ran his hands down her sides, making her blush turn bright red. She clung to Sonic's neck and pulled his mouth even closer to hers, enjoying this so much.

Soon, they couldn't help it.

"Mmmm... MMMmmm...mmm..."

Their kiss made them crazy for each other, and though no thoughts of doing anything else crossed their minds, anyone watching these two kissing like this would think differently.

They couldn't stop this time. They had to kiss until they couldn't anymore. Amy and Sonic moaned louder, blushing furiously, their tongues flying in a fast dance. Amy's hands were on Sonic's shoulders now, as she rubbed up and down his shoulders and neck. Meanwhille, Sonic squeezed and massaged Amy's sides, all the way down to her hips. It was a steamy moment, to say the least, for these two unbreakable lovers.

"Mmmm.. MMMMM!"

Finally, after almost ten minutes of this amazing kiss, they finally had to stop and breathe. Sonic and Amy panted, their faces not even an inch apart, their cheeks scarlet from how incredible that kiss felt. They smiled where their lips and tongues had just tangoed; wide, open smiles that made the other want to keep going.

But they couldn't, they knew. They had poured everything out of themselves into that kiss, and they had to pant hard, in unison, to catch their breaths, stolen by the other's deep, beautiful love.

"I love you.. I love you..." They both said at the same time, panting and nuzzling. It was the perfect moment, one they wished they had shared back when they were first reunited.

Finally, Sonic laid beside Amy, holding her, hugging her. But then, amongst her own panting, Amy said, "My heart- is going to- break from my chest- for you- Sonic! That was... incredible!"

Sonic smiled at her, and answered, "If I had done that when I finally found you again..."

Amy ran a hand along his face as he said this and told him soothingly, "Don't be upset. I was nervous too. The wonderful thing is, you loved me, and I loved you. To know that now, Sonic..."

She didn't finish, but just hugged Sonic, the smile on her face threatening to stick.

After a few more minutes, the two then remembered the story, and Amy said, "What happened next was probably the most exciting thing of my life."

Sonic nodded and answered, "Mine too."

Back in that small room where love could have been, Sonic and Amy held hands and Sonic told the girl he had been seeking all this time, "I'm so glad this is all over. Now we can get out of here together."

As Sonic began to move to take Amy and leave the Little Planet, Amy resisted, asking, "What?! You mean you're not even going after that Eggman?!"

Sonic turned back to her, surprised, but oddly happy to hear this adventurous tone in her voice.

But Sonic was spent just getting here, and now, all he wanted to do was to leave with this wonderful girl in his arms, so he answered, "Eggman isn't worth the risk of losing you again. I know we only met for a short time, but, I have to be honest..."

At this moment, Sonic almost told her the fully accurate truth. Amy also thought that she was about to hear something that she would end up waiting to hear for a sadly long time.

Sonic trembled, but then he said, "You're one of the most friendly people I've ever met, and I could never lose a friend like you."

At the word friend, Sonic wavered, and both of them knew there was something beneath that enigma, something that would lie dormant until it bloomed forth like a gorgeous flower, sweet and pure.

But then, passing that, Amy then smiled at Sonic, and told him, "Well, if we're friends, don't we do fun stuff together?"

Sonic, caught off guard a little, nodded nervously, and then Amy told him, "Well, if you're with me, then I say we go get Eggman! There's nothing two best friends can't do!"

Amy was also nervous to admit her true feelings, but every day after that, they would know what the two of them really felt for each other.

Amy summoned her hammer at that moment and turned to Sonic, extending her hand, and said, "Well? Best of friends?"

Sonic looked at her hand, and knew there was no other answer than...

"Best of friends!"

The two took each other's hand and shook, the beginning of a relationship that the two would forever have, one that would become the love they had tonight.

And with that handshake, the two hedgehogs locked eyes and smiles, and Amy cheered, "Then let's go finish this adventure together!"

Sonic smiled and nodded, and the two went to take on the scientist, holding hands, and holding a love in their hearts.
