A new chapter for release is here! A new day has started, and it's Sonic and Amy's first day being a couple! Let's see how it turns out in this chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 14: Surprise!
"Woohoo!"
I ran with all my speed, jumping through the air like I was some kind of monkey flying through a forest.
"Sonic! Would you stop flying like that!?"
Amy called out to me, being worried about me flying very high in the sky, not knowing that I fell from higher places than this. I landed near her, and smiled as I had an idea of how to pay her back for teasing me.
"Why? Want to try it?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Oh come on, Amy! This is fun!"
"Noooo!"
I grabbed her by the hand, and ran up another tree, and jumped off the top flying forward. As I screamed in excitement, Amy's screamed covered mine. I felt a sudden increase in her strength as her arms suddenly caressed my neck. It was so tight, I was trying to pry her off me.
"SOOONIIIIIC!"
"Amy… Choking… Me…"
While falling, I landed on a couple of tree branches, which all broke apart, and then landed on the ground with my stomach, suffering many injuries. However, Amy lands right on top of my back.
"Sonic! I don't ever want to fly like that again!"
"..."
"Sonic?"
I could tell Amy was looking for me.
"Where are you?"
"..."
Amy gets up, and accidently steps on one of my quills, which made me yelp in anguish.
"Sonic!?"
She quickly gets off me, sits beside me, and lifts me up, putting my head on her lap.
"Are you okay!?"
"Do I look okay?"
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine, Amy. However, what surprises me is how you're in perfect shape, and I'm the only one with the injuries."
"I was above you the whole time, Sonic. Should I go get Tails?"
"No. In fact, I have a better idea."
Amy gives me a curious look, wondering what I was up to. Since I was injured, I figured it would be a good time to try to see if she can conjure healing magic.
"What is it?"
"Why don't you try using healing magic?"
"Healing magic!?"
"Yeah. Do you know how?"
"No. I only used tarot cards."
I let out a sigh.
"Figures…"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"If you only used tarot cards, which gave you a prediction of the future, then that's the only magic you know. However, you have the ability to store objects in a secret space, which you call 'Hammer Space', which is another type of magic, and you can spawn more than one of the same thing. If you can do those perfectly, then you should be able to use healing magic."
Amy looks at me for a moment, with nothing to say.
"Try putting your hands above me, and say 'heal', or 'cure' or something."
"What makes you so sure that this will work?"
"I have a gut feeling. Trust me, it'll work."
"Alright then."
Amy moves her hands, and places them above me.
"Heal!"
As we watched, nothing happened.
"Uh… Sonic. It didn't work."
"Try it again, but this time, say it like you mean it."
"Heal!"
Again, nothing happened.
"Can you even use magic?"
"Sonic!"
I started laughing a bit, and then coughed, still writhing in pain.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself."
"Hmph. Very funny, Sonic. I should leave you like this."
"It wouldn't be very Amy-like to leave her one true love like this now, would it?"
"Hmm… I suppose you're right. Then how about I stop making chili dogs?"
"NOOO! NOT THE CHILI DOGS!"
Amy smirked at me, and crossed her arms.
"I thought so."
"Sorry to change the subject, but you have a comfy lap."
She blushed at me, looking away in embarrassment.
"I'm glad that I'm comfy for you to lay on, Sonic."
"Are you trying to be bold again?"
Amy's gaze were upon me as she smiled.
"No. That just made me smile."
"Ah. I guess I'm doing good at this whole boyfriend thing."
"That's only one thing, Sonic. There's a lot more than just giving a beautiful girl compliments."
"Really?"
"Yep. You have to take me out on dates as well."
"WHAT!?"
She laughs at me, smiling.
"You didn't think the only thing you had to do was give me compliments and be by my side all the time, did you?"
I looked at her for a moment, before answering.
"Uh… No..."
"You should see the look on your face from that lie you just told."
"Alright, fine. I did, Ok?"
"That's better. You see what happens when you tell the truth, Sonic?"
"Oho. You can't give me that. I still remember when you tried to force me to fall in love with you behind my back using some spell on that one planet we were on."
Amy looks at me with a shocking expression.
"Riiiiight."
"Alright, alright. You got me there, Sonic. I still have to make it up to you for doing that, so here's a kiss."
She kisses my forehead, and what surprised me the most was I started to glow bright.
"What's happening to me?"
I felt my wounds disappear, and when I fully healed, I got up, and took a look at my body. No wound was left on me, and when I looked at Amy she was surprised as much as I was.
"Amy, what did you do?"
"Nothing! All I did was kiss your forehead, and all of a sudden, that happened."
I put my hand on my chin, delved into my thoughts, and then shuddered.
"Oh no."
"What's wrong, Sonic?"
"Does magic have specific requirements in order to use them?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"I have a feeling. Let's go talk to Tails about it."
We ran over to Tails's workshop, and see if he's able to tell us about it. Knowing that he's into mechanics, he should be able to know something about magic. When we got there, he was outside relaxing, probably taking a break from the armor that he was working on. I called out to him, and Tails flew toward us, and we began talking about Amy's Magic.
"No, Sonic. I don't know. The only one that can tell you about that would be Knuckles, since he uses the Master Emerald to chant spells. As far as I know, he's the only one who's able to tell if Amy's magic has requirements."
I thought about it for a moment, and shook my head, before turning around, and running to where Knuckles was located.
"I see. Well, we gotta go, Tails. We'll catch you later!"
"Sonic!"
I stopped and turned around, wondering what Tails wanted to say.
"Yes?"
"Before you go, can I talk to you about something?"
"Sure. Amy, Wait here."
"Ok."
We walk away from where Amy was standing to have our own little private chat.
"What did you want to talk about, Tails?"
"It's about you and Amy."
A drop of sweat appeared on my forehead.
"Yeah?"
"Did you take my advice and started going out with her?"
I nodded my head.
"Yes I did, and we're a couple now."
Tails smiles and pats me on the back in excitement. It feels weird having a best friend who's younger than you pat your back for something you finally did.
"That's great! I knew you would make the right decision."
"Well, I wanted to see why you wanted me to chase after this happiness. Want me to call Amy over, so she can tell you?"
"Yeah. I need to confirm this."
I call out to Amy, and tell her to come to our position. She runs over, wondering why Tails was smiling.
"Yes, Sonic?"
"Tails wanted to know if we're a couple."
Amy smiles and wraps her arm around mine, then kisses my cheek, which made me blush, and then nodded her head.
"Yes we are, Tails."
"Wow… I can't actually believe it, or what I'm actually seeing. Who would've known that you really asked Amy out?"
"Surprise. It's a refreshing thing isn't it?"
Amy giggles a bit, keeping her smile.
"Sonic, how can you say refreshing? You were worried about this whole thing not working out."
I turned my head to look at Amy.
"Well, at first I did, but when you said because it's us, it won't ever go bad, I decided to try it, for both you and Tails."
Amy blushed deeply, and looked away while Tails stared at us in amazement. Amy couldn't help but giggle as I watched Tails's reaction.
"This… This is a whole new level of surprising. I don't think my brain can take in all of this."
"Me either, and I'm the one dating Amy. Now that I think about it, I wonder how many people will be surprised at this?"
"Everyone."
"What makes you so sure about that, Tails?"
"I have a couple of reasons, Sonic: 1.) She was your self-proclaimed girlfriend, and 2.) She followed you around, whenever you decided to travel."
"It's not like I do that now, Tails."
"Oh don't you dare say that lie, Amy. I still didn't forget what you did to me in the morning."
Tails looked at us, with a curious mind.
"What did she do?"
"I chased him around inside my house."
Tails looked at me with a shocking expression on his face. He pointed at me, his arm twitching like he's having a near death experience.
"She invited you to her house!?"
"Well… Yeah, but last night, I was too tired to fully think out my sentences, so by the time I woke up, I didn't know I was in her house."
"I don't think I can take more of this. My head hurts."
"Is our being together that surprising you, Tails?"
"Amy, who is going to see this, and say 'Oh! Sonic and Amy are together?' without them going nuts about how rare that is, since Sonic was always trying to get away from you?"
I looked at Amy as she pondered about how to answer that.
"Amy, I think we can agree everyone is bound to go nuts when they see us."
"I guess. Shall we get going to Knuckles then? I want to know if he has any information regarding magic."
"Yeah we should. Thanks for the info, buddy. I'd appreciate the help."
Tails smiled at me, nodding his forehead.
"You're welcome."
"I'll see what I can find, and then come back to let you know any new information."
"Ok."
"Let's go Amy."
"Ok, Sonic."
"Catch ya later, pal!"
Amy and I take off to go and find Knuckles. During the travel, I began thinking of my first day as Amy's boyfriend so far. It's… Surprising, but maybe I'm overthinking it. Just like Tails said, it's shocking to see myself with Amy, and judging from the decision the decision I've made, would it really be worth the trouble? I know I said I erased these doubts that I have, but I can't help feeling sort of troubled by the fact that it seems too natural. Maybe I should talk to Amy about it, and see what she says tonight.
I hope you liked the surprise. The next chapter, 15, will be released soon. Until then, see you later! Tune in next time when Sonic and Amy find out about the requirements of her magic.
