Yup, sadly this is the last chapter of this story. But then…There's Kyler! Wooh, I love that story! It's a Sonic one, don't worry. More family then romance though, but I throw in bits of it here and there. Anyway, here's chapter three. Please enjoy and review! Amy's POV at the beginning. Oh yeah, and this story also explains another picture. It's a picture of Sonic and Amy standing in the snow, Sonic holding Amy's hands. There are words at the bottom of the picture that say, 'there's something I've been meaning to tell you.'

Chapter 3

Always, Always

After the lovely moment with Sonic, we separated back into our groups that we had been in. Knuckles patted Sonic on the back.

"'Bout time you kissed the girl!" he cried out happily.

Sonic blushed madly, but didn't run away like he would've about a year ago. Sonic had changed.

Slowly the group headed home, and we said our good-byes. Before Cream and Cheese left, Cheese handed me the mistletoe.

"Thank you, Cheese," I said. "That was very nice of you."

"Choa choa choa!"

"He said, 'your welcome, Amy. Sonic needed to push,"' Cream translated.

The two left, and I was left with Sonic and Tails, since the three of us lived the furthest out. The boys moved up to me, and we began to talk about our day.

I was surprised, when Sonic reached for my hand as we walked. Looking up at him with curious eyes, I tried to see why he wanted my hand with his. Sonic kept walking and talking to Tails; I didn't see in any clues. I shrugged it off, happy that he was even holding my hand, and joined in with the conversation.

After a few minutes, we reached Tails' house, and said good-bye to him as well. We continued on our way; our hands still intertwined. We walked mostly in silence, just enjoying each other's presence.

Sonic's Point of View

Though I had kissed Amy, I felt that she should still hear the words I love you from my lips. So, I came up with a way to tell her.

Within a few minutes, we arrived at Amy's house. Before she could go inside, however, I took hold of her hands, and gazed into her eyes. Amy blushed, and look confused.

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you," I said quietly.

I pulled Amy closer, into a hug, and stroked her quills.

"I still love you, Amy. I'm sorry I haven't been showing you enough recently. Don't you ever forget though, Amy."

Tears must've been streaking down her face, for I felt a tear land on my shoulder.

"I know you do, Sonic," Amy said softly. "I just wanted to see it I guess… You were just shy."

"I shouldn't be so shy," I scolded myself. "It hurt you."

Amy looked into my eyes.

"You're fine, Sonic. You kissed me in front of all of our friends. That's good enough for me."

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's fine, So-"

I cut her off with my lips pressed against hers. We were the happiest hedgehog's alive.

Well, that's the end of this short and lovely story! Hope you enjoyed it. Stick around for Kyler, tis awesome! In fact, I might (don't get your hopes up too high) publish the introduction today!
