Back to work.
There was only small things of romance in the other chapters so here you go, romance overdose I guess.
SilverDawn gave me several of these ideas but a few are my own or were expanded upon by me.
What that last sentence means is: SILVERDAWN2010 IS AWESOME!
Thanks to SilverDawn2010 for requesting this story, it's been fun.
Chapter Eight - Not Running Anymore
Guests took their seats as the ceremony began.
Sonic stood at the altar, panicking so much he thought his quills would fall off.
The crowd was still winding down and tidbits of conversations flew through the air.
"Aye, let me do the ceremony mate!" yelled Marine from the guests but all she got was a stern look from Blaze.
"We're hardly at sea here" Silver whispered as Marine sat back down.
Sonic smiled lightly at the situation before he returned to panicking.
"Oh man, what have you done, she's your STALKER" Sonic waged a war in his head.
"She's not a stalker, she's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with!"
"Not a stalker, she's followed me like crazy since we met"
"Followed you from love and devotion, and you feel the same now"
"No, I should have run, I aways run"
The world outside Sonic's head was still in motion and soon an organist started to play.
"Oh man, oh man, oh man, the music is playing, come on, you can be half the world away before she hears it just run!"
"But she cares so much, can you really do that?"
"Can I..."
"All the love she has showed you, all the devotion and time she has given to you, and you feel the same"
"Do I..."
"Yes"
"But shouldn't I run?"
"No"
"But"
"NO"
"But... THAT'S IT, I'M OUT OF HE"
"Whoa" Sonic's thoughts concluded with this and the previous thought was unfinished.
The music had reached the ears of it's target.
She had made the short trip while Sonic had been wracking his brain and now Amy stood at the end of the isle.
Sonic was transfixed on her image, standing with the reflected light of the lake slowly revealing her as she drew closer.
"Whoa" Sonic's brain repeated before his last thought peaked through.
"That's it, I'm not going anywhere without her" Sonic thought with his jaw still dropped.
"Sonic..." Tails said tapping Sonic on the shoulder to bring him back to reality.
"Something wrong Sonic?" Tails asked seeing Sonic's face.
"Yes" Sonic said before Amy reached the altar.
Tails wanted to question Sonic further but a red-ish armadillo stepped forward to begin the ceremony.
Amy smiled deeply as she realized Sonic's gaze hadn't left her the entire time.
"Something wrong Sonic?" Amy asked not knowing of Tails' question from earlier.
"Yes" Sonic repeated chuckling lightly.
Mighty went on with the ceremony as the two whispered, "Love birds" he remarked under his breath.
Amy looked at Sonic worriedly for a moment before she saw his grin and her fear faded.
"What?" Amy asked without fear.
"We aren't married yet" Sonic said enjoying the look on Amy's face.
(…)
Amy felt herself squirming in her dress.
The gown was a snow white with a light pink trim accentuating it's features.
The short sleeves were welcomed in the warm breeze as was the heart shaped cutaway on her back, but the long gloves and flowing train were making her suffer in the heat.
No, it wasn't the heat.
It was her anxiety.
"Oh come on and get on with it already... Now I sound like Sonic" Amy blushed a little at her own thoughts.
"May I have the rings?" Mighty asked bringing Amy back to herself.
Cream stepped forward on Amy's side, as did Tails on Sonic's.
Both glanced at the other and blushed as they handed the rings to Mighty.
"Do you Sonic, take this hedgehog, Amy Rose, to be your wife? To comfort with your presence, to never harm, and to always hold no matter what until your quills fade?" Mighty asked remembering the lines for hedgehog ceremonies.
"I do" Sonic said with his grin wider then ever.
"Do you Amy, take this hedgehog, Sonic T. Hedgehog, to be your husband? To stay with in hardships, to love with your grace, and to stay with as your children's quills sharpen?" Mighty asked Amy this time making Amy and Sonic blush on the last line.
"I do" Amy said turning to face Sonic.
Sonic rushed at Amy and locked her in a deep embrace where passion flew as fast as his feet.
"Ahem" Mighty said making the two hedgehogs separate.
Sonic looked up at Mighty with a tinge of hate for separating them until he saw Mighty holding out the rings.
"Oh" Sonic said as the guests all exchanged light laughter and he grabbed the rings.
"Normally that would be my job but you seem so keen" Mighty remarked jokingly as Sonic placed the rings on Amy and his own fingers.
Sonic was about to kiss Amy again when another "Ahem" came but this time from the guests.
Sonic and Amy looked out at the crowd and then up at Mighty.
"I now pronounce you Hedgehog and Wife, you may kiss the bride" Mighty said as fast as he could.
"There, I figured you two wouldn't wait" Mighty commented to everyone's laughter.
Sonic laughed too before he felt his feet go out from under him.
"You're mine now Sonic" Amy said as she held Sonic on the ground.
"I wouldn't have it any other way" Sonic smiled as he said this and the two exchanged their passion through their lips for the next minute.
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
"Hey, you're not at the honeymoon yet you two" remarked Rouge much to everyone's laughter.
"Fine, back in a flash" Sonic said as he gathered Amy up and rushed off before anyone could stop him.
"Um, did Sonic just ditch his own wedding?" Blaze heard Silver ask as they sat there.
"Over there" Cream said pointing to the lake.
Sure enough, there was Sonic with Amy in his arms, running over the water, and up a small mountain where he paused at the top.
A moment later they were back and locked in another deep embrace.
"Alright, let's party!" Sonic said without taking his eyes from Amy.
Everyone cheered.
"WAIT!" Amy yelled making everyone stop.
Cream stood next to her and giggled, "The bouquet!"
(…)
Amy was poised, ready to throw.
They were all lined up, Cream, Rouge, Shade, Marine, And several others.
Blaze however had excused herself and gone to sit down by Silver.
"Ready?" Amy called back jokingly.
Nobody replied.
Amy threw with all her might, all the strength of her hammer, and every ounce of power in her body.
The bouquet was airborne, maybe too much.
Shade looked at the bouquet and moved her hand to the belt hidden under her gown.
"Mine" She said as she warped up towards it.
"I don't think so" Rouge said as she intercepted her in the air and tossed her back down.
"I've got this one" Rouge said before seeing Cream race past her in the air.
"Thank you Tails, Cream said as she closed on the bouquet.
Tails was on the ground shaking from his nerves.
"Why did I have to help with this..." he thought as he saw Cream moments from grabbing it.
"Not so fast" Marine shouted as she launched an attack that knocked the bouquet from her reach.
"No" All the girls breathed as the bouquet came closer to the ground.
They all jumped for it but suddenly the bouquet stopped dead in the air.
All the girls looked up from the pile they were in.
"What" Rouge and Shade said in unison.
They were all too tangled to reach up for the bouquet but it wouldn't matter soon.
The bouquet raced off as fast as it had stopped.
Whizzing out of reach they all protested until it stopped.
The ever so sought after bouquet dropped from the sky into the lap of Blaze.
"Silver" Blaze said picking up the bouquet as she blushed.
"No fair" Blaze breathed as she moved in to kiss Silver.
"But I get points for trying right?" Silver said before their lips met.
"You're so..." Blaze left her words unfinished as she kissed him.
As they kissed Blaze hefted the bouquet in her hand and then tossed it back into the air.
All the girls scrambled to untangle themselves.
"I'm the best thief in the world, nobody is going to steal my shot" Rouge said taking off as fast as she could.
Rouge was moments away from getting the bouquet with Cream coming at her fast.
"Too late Hon" Rouge called back as she reached for the bouquet.
Then a bright flash blinded Rouge stopping her dead.
The next thing Rouge knew she was on the ground with Shadow holding her arm.
"What the" Rouge said looking at Shadow and seeing his grin.
"That was worth it" Shadow said laughing as Rouge turned and kicked him as hard as she could.
Everyone turned back to the sky and looked to see where the bouquet was.
It was nowhere in sight.
Well almost nowhere.
"I've got it!" Cream called as she got back to the ground pulling the bouquet from behind her back.
Tails fainted with a soft thud on the ground.
"Little bro" Sonic said in a soft laugh.
(…)
Well there we go, another long chapter and I must say tha...
Wait, this isn't the end?
Oh yeah, thats right, PARTY TIME!
(…)
Everyone was keen to get up and move.
Amy and Sonic sat down for a moment in private while others set up the dance floor.
Tails checked the sound system he had been working on earlier and then stepped back to admire his work.
"All set" Tails said more to himself then anyone.
"So the dance is set mate?" Marine said from over Tails' shoulder surprising him.
"Uh, hey Marine, yeah, everything is ready" Tails said his smile showing.
"Ripper, let's dance" Marine said dragging Tails onto the floor.
"Wah, wait" Tails said to no avail.
Marine had her back to a certain rabbit as she approached but Tails saw her coming and panicked.
"Cream, I swear it's not what it looks like" Tails said as she reached them.
"I know, hello Marine, mind if I have my boyfriend back?" Cream said sweetly.
"Of course, sorry for intruding, i'm not that kind of sheila" Marine said backing off.
"Phew, thanks Cream, you know I can't dance" Tails said laughing lightly.
"Then you get to learn fast" Cream said with a smile as she pulled him onto the floor.
The two danced for a quick song before the music suddenly stopped.
"Thanks for warming up the floor there Tails but I know somebody will kill me if she doesn't get a dance" Sonic said pointing over his shoulder.
"Oh Sonic" Amy said slightly blushing.
Tails and Cream retreated to the sound booth with both blushing furiously.
"Ok, time for the couples dance" Tails said speaking into the mic.
Sonic grabbed Amy and raced out to the floor.
"Ready for a slow dance Sonic?" Amy asked as he set her down.
"I'm more then ready to go slow, as long as it is with you" Sonic whispered to Amy.
Amy felt her heart skip a beat and she felt it skip a second beat just to make sure this was real.
"Not dreaming, check, ring, check, Sonic, check" Amy went through her list in a matter of minutes.
After that, nothing mattered, the music itself didn't even register as she moved with Sonic.
Amy felt as minutes turned to what seemed to be hours but she didn't care, most all of her dreams had come true.
Soon the song ended and Amy was in heaven.
"Hey Ames" Sonic said as everyone clapped.
"Yes?"
"Get ready to really dance" Sonic said before racing up and taking the mic from Tails.
"This song is for Amy, the love of my life, I mean look at those quills... ok now, stop staring" Sonic heard chuckles all around from the guests.
"As I was saying, this is for you Ames" Sonic finished causing everyone to stop laughing and listen.
Tails signaled for the band to start playing while he manipulated the sound control.
" I met you in another time, with so many things to do.
But you were still on my mind, and you helped me make it through.
A heart thumping with my feet, my heart is yours to keep.
Let's go running in the rain, feel the water all around.
We will never feel the same, as the rain comes falling down.
Speed it up and see, I love you like you love me.
Let's go running in the rain.
Let's go running in the rain.
Just surrender to the speed, but hold on for the ride.
You are the one I need, to have and hold at my side.
A rose like no other, beautiful and sweet.
A rose like no other, sweeping me off my feet.
Let's go running in the rain, feel the water all around.
We will never feel the same, as the rain comes falling down.
Speed it up and see, I love you like you love me.
Let's go running in the rain.
Let's go running in the rain.
I messed around for far too long, avoiding you with all my might.
Telling myself that we were wrong, less I lose you and see my fright.
I met you and I wanted more, feelings so strong I can't ignore.
I met you and ran, but Amy Rose, I'm not running from you anymore."
Sonic went silent as did the band.
Everyone stared at Sonic and then Amy.
"SONIC!" Amy screamed in joy before crossing the distance between her and Sonic fast enough to create a miniature sonic boom.
"I love you Amy" Sonic said chuckling lightly.
"I love you too Sonic" Amy said tenderly wanting to kiss him.
But, Amy resisted her urges and turned back to the guests.
"Play it again, now let's dance" She said causing everyone to cheer.
Sonic and Amy danced for a while before retreating to be alone.
"This is the best day of my life" Sonic said as the two sat down.
"Best day of your life so far my love" Amy said smiling deeply.
"I guess you're right, on to more adventures eh?" Sonic said moving in for a kiss.
Amy held up her hand stopping Sonic's lips with her finger, "Oh, we'll have a great new adventure soon"
Sonic looked at Amy as her smile took on a different form.
"An adventure for kids..." Sonic said thinking aloud.
"That doesn't scare you now Sonic does it, make you want to run off?" Amy said as she closed on Sonic's lips.
Both kissed tenderly with their passion surging across their tongues to the others.
"It does scare me a bit" Sonic said holding Amy against his body.
"But" Sonic added but left unfinished.
"But?" Amy questioned looking into his eyes.
"But, I'm Not Running Anymore"
