Amy could hear a soft, steady rhythm as she opened her eyes to the soft blue light of the bedroom. "Hm, what's that sound?"
It only took her a few seconds to remember she had her head resting on Sonic's chest, listening to his heartbeat and soft breathing. "Oh yeah, I forgot I was sleeping with Sonic... This is..."
"The closest I've ever been to him."
Amy valued the moment and nuzzled into his chest more. It lasted for a good half an hour before Sonic stirred, causing Amy to sit up.
"Oh sorry," Amy apologized. "Did I wake you up?"
"No," Sonic yawned, looking at the digital clock. "Anyway, good morning Ames. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, there's no need to get out of bed. We can sleep in," Sonic stopped Amy from getting out of bed, gently pulling her into an embrace. A healthy blush lit up Amy's cheeks and her mouth formed a soft smile. "I'm so glad to see you, Amy..."
"Me too."
"Amy? Sonic? It's safe to go out now so-" Cream opened the door to see the two hedgehogs in an affectionate embrace, before closing the door silently.
"That's so sweet... They're so close..." Cream thought, smiling sweetly.
Amy and Sonic pulled away and looked into each others eyes, whilst Sonic still had his hands on Amy's shoulders. His faced moved in slightly closer. Amy's eyes widened and a pink blush formed on her face, when she thought Sonic was going to make the first move, when...
She felt his nose rub on her nose. His eyes were closed and he was smiling with content, indicating he had enjoyed it.
"Sonic... What was that?" Amy asked in confusion.
"'Good morning' in a different language." He grinned. Amy was completely embarrassed. With that, she got up, slipped her petticoat underneath her dress, tied her belt, slipped into her boots and began to leave the bedroom.
"Hey Amy~? Where are you going?" Sonic asked, sounding confused. Amy didn't answer and let the automated door shut behind her.
Outside the door, she sank into a squat, and silently squealed whilst saying, "ohmyIsleptwithsonicandIthoughthewasgoingtomakethefirstmoveI'msomessedup, stupid, teenage thoughts!"
She got up, and left for the kitchen, asking Vanilla for breakfast in a container before heading up to Angel Island. Noticing something was off, Cream did the same and followed her too to Angel Island.
Meanwhile, Sonic was still sitting in bed, wondering why Amy left in such a manner.
"What? What have I done?" He thought in confusion. He also eventually left the bedroom and headed to the kitchen-dining room, where everyone in the room gave him a smug look (well, except for Shadow), followed by a grin.
"So Sonic, how was last night?" Silver smugly asked.
"Hey, what are you talking about, 'how was last night'?" Sonic asked back, in a confused and disgusted tone.
"Did you make the first move?" Tails asked.
"What do you mean 'did I make the first move'? Oh wait, oh no..." Sonic's tone of voice changed to one of despair.
"Don't you know?" Vanilla chuckled.
"We set you up so you could sleep with Amy." Tails smiled.
"So you mean that the bed I was meant to sleep on was perfectly fine!?" Sonic asked in shock and utter disbelief.
"Yes, the both of you fell for such a simple trick in the book, hahaha!" Silver laughed.
"Silver, shut up your mouth. You would've fallen for the same trick, since your quills are bigger than your knowledge span." With that, Blaze spat out her drink in utter surprise and burst into laughter, whilst everyone else in the room said, "Ooh, ripped..."
"Ripped is an understatement, Silver got shredded! So hard that he can't even say anything! Silver you got to accept the fact you got destroyed!" Blaze said inbetween her hard laughter. Silver was sitting there, with disbelief in his eyes and his hand over his mouth in despair.
Amy was sitting on the edge of the island, eating the breakfast Vanilla had prepared for her whilst basking in the morning sun. She was soon joined by Cream.
"What's up Amy? Is something bothering you?" Cream asked. Amy's head instantly turned round.
"Oh, it's nothing..." Amy lied, taking another bite of her sandwich.
"You're lying!" Cream surprised Amy. "Anyway, tell me about Sonic." Cream asked.
"Reckless, a sucker for speed, cheeky but he's strong and has a good heart." Amy stated. "I remember when he first saved me when I was younger and I would always chase him. Then when I was 14, he made me cry because he called me out on how clingy I was. 2 years after, I changed completely, saved him and he apologized after all the things he said to me. We've been quite close since that time."
"Anything... Romantic?" Cream cheekily asked.
"Apart from the time you set me up to sleep with Sonic, no Cream, nothing like that." Amy giggled.
"Yet..." Cream added on, only to be playfully slapped by Amy. "Stop it, you. Anyway, tell me about Tails."
"Also reckless, intelligent and a really good guy. He's so caring, after the Amy of this dimension died, he would do anything to try and make me happy. I'm so grateful for someone like him."
"Me too, I don't know what I'd do without Sonic."
"You're almost the same as the Amy from this dimension, only that you have Sonic. Amy didn't need a man, nor want one: she was grateful for everything she had. She didn't need anything more. She was like my sister. It still hurts that she's gone."
"Oh, Cream..."
Suddenly, there were sounds of metal being smashed, presumably from Knuckles. But metal? The sound was enough to know something was off, until they were completely surrounded by robots.
"These are Nega's robots! If they get near the chaos and master emeralds, there's no telling what could happen!" Cream shouted.
"Then there's no way we are letting that happen! Cream, warn the others! I'm going to help Knuckles!"
Cream tried to run and find a place to warn everyone back at base, only to encounter another problem.
"My oh my, hasn't it been a long time, Cream the Rabbit?" Cream heard a voice that she dreaded and looked in front of her.
Mephiles.
"How-? You're supposed to be sealed away, Amy defeated you-"
"Let's just say, Eggman Nega released me, on one condition. I need to get those chaos emeralds and eliminate any of those who oppose his rule. That means I have to get rid of you and the echidna." Mephiles explained. "Binding spell #17, restrain."
Cream was now fixed to one spot, unable to move around from it. "How does it feel now to be powerless against him? Watch as the end of this dimension approaches, weakling." Cream growled, trying to free herself of the spell.
"I won't let you get away with this! AMY, KNUCKLES, LOOK OUT!"
Fortunately, Amy and Knuckles heard the shout from Cream and were on their high guards.
"Amy Rose, aren't you meant to be dead?" Mephiles asked ominously. "Oh wait... You're not from here."
"And what are you going to do about it, you restless liquidised ghost?" Knuckles growled.
"Eliminate the both of you in the process. We simply don't need any resistance." Mephiles readied a destruction spell to get rid of the both of them, only for him to stop as he sensed something.
"Wait, the pink hedgehog is radiating the same energy that the Banshee has! The power is no longer stored in the chaos emeralds, but her. Just what is this hedgehog?"
Mephiles stopped the destruction spell and started using a telepathic communication to get to Nega.
"We have a problem. The other worldly being contains the energy of the Banshee, and not the chaos emeralds. Trying to kill her is no longer feasible. The energy has seemed to have transferred from the chaos emeralds to the other worldly being."
"Ah, I see. Eliminate any resistance and return straight to the base. Make sure nobody follows you."
"Roger."
Mephiles was about to cast a deadly incantation spell, only to be stopped by Cream, using a binding spell on him instead, which was,
"Binding Spell #72! Chains of Fate! KNUCKLES!" Mephiles' arms are bound by two luminous chains, held by Cream and Knuckles.
"What's this ridiculous set up? You can't possibly win by-" Mephiles asked, only to look up to see Amy, in the air, with a large hammer, ready to deliver the finishing blow to him. "Damn you..."
"AMY ROSE!"
Amy yelled, "HAMMER OF FATE!" And came crashing down onto Mephiles. The impact was so devastating, there was a massive shockwave throughout the island, either destroying or knocking every single robot into the ocean.
Soon after the shockwave had subsided, Amy lifted her hammer to see that Mephiles was no longer there.
"That should teach the stupid ghost a lesson," Knuckles grinned.
"But I wonder..." Amy started.
"What?"
"The first time he was about to launch a spell at us, he noticed something and stopped. Why though?" Amy asked.
"I don't know, but the both of you need to get clean and rest up, look at the state of you two," Cream pointed out. Amy looked at her now dirty dress and Knuckles looked at his partially torn gloves, with embarrassment before looking at each other and giving an embarrassed fake laugh before heading back to the underwater base.
