Chapter 4: The Right Thing

Amy walked up the tower's stairs to get to the second tallest room in the castle. Once walking all those steps she reached a hall that had a red carpet on the floor. It led down to a huge golden room that was down the hall. It looked very shiny and clean made with pure gold. It didn't surprise her since this was a palace but it was incredible. She came up to the door. On the top was a huge blue letter 'S' marked on the gold.

Amy smiled and took a breath. She knocked on the door once.

No answer.

She sighs and takes another try knocking two times, louder this time. It took a moment before a reply.

"Go away," a muffled voice growled.

Amy nervously looked away up at the ceiling and leaned closer to the door. "Sonic, it's Uhh it's me,"

No reply was heard so she stayed there for a while listening to anything heard. The door opened and there stood a blue hedgehog. He had a small smile but that was only an offer and it was nothing close to real.

"Can I come in?" she asked. Sonic nodded and stood aside to let her pass. Amy stepped inside his room for the first time saw it. His room was huge for a one child, big enough to run around in. There was an up step and down step. His bed was up on the high floor while some of his toys and items were organized on the sides down floor. His wardrobe was on the side of his bed and a window on the middle of the wall at the end.

"Whoa, this is so big." She said astonished. She turned to face him. "Yea, thanks," he said approaching her. Amy then saw his bed. It was a king size big, thick huge and it looked warm and fluffy. A lot of pillows were around it and a cover that was think and soft covering it. All this and for one hedgehog only?

"Oh my god you have a…" she stopped to listen to herself.

She bit her lip and remembered what she come her in the first place. She moved to face him. "Oh, I'm sorry Sonic. I got distracted by this." She said embarrassed.

Sonic smiled sweetly and put his hands behind his back. "It's fine. You excited makes me happy." He said. Amy blushed but smiled back. He walked to his bed and Amy followed.

"I'm glad you came. I need someone to talk to." He explained. He flopped himself on the bed and lay down on the bed.

Amy stood still on the side. "You know," she began making him look up at her with his face upside down position.

"You are a prince and future king right now," she began playing with her fingers. Sonic looked at her with a bored expression. "Your point?" he asked.

Amy clapped her two hands together. "You're the only one that can save us from being hurt. "She explained. Sonic raised his eye brow and flipped on to his stomach. "Save?" he questioned.

"You need to marry the princess from the Chun Chan kingdom. I've heard there really nice there." Amy said hopefully.
"No Amy," he said rather loudly. Amy flinched. "I don't want to marry her." He said his brows narrowing.

"But you don't even know her," Amy said.

"Exactly my point,"

.:XxX:.

The queen walked down the hall to get to Sonic's room. She needed to talk to him explained that this could be the only hope to save the kingdom. If she couldn't convince him then no one could. As she approached her son's room she heard an argument.

"She could be nice and sweet maybe even pretty, but you have to get to know her," said a soft voice.

A growl was heard and she leaned her ear to the door.

Sonic got off the bed and jumped in front of Amy. "Yea, when, because my dad's just making rules without letting things go like they should." He bitterly said.

"But we're in danger and need you. I need you," she softly said.

Sonic glared at her. "Aren't friends supposed to help each other?" he angrily asked.

"I am your friend," she shot back placing her hand on her chest. "I'm just trying to make you do the right thing. That's what friends are for."

Sonic shook his head and closed his eyes holding his head. "Marrying a girl I don't know isn't the right thing. That's not what friends are supposed to do," He loudly said to her looking up again.

Amy pouted and angrily stared at him for a long time and so did he. The room was silent until she spoke. "I tried," she softly said. "If you really think I'm a bad friend then fine I'll leave and if you don't want to then…I don't know," She softly said and then turned around.

Sonic's glared at her as she left but the farther she got his glare loosened only showing a regretful look.

Amy opened the door about to get out but Sonic had sped in front of her and pushed the door shut with his hand. Amy flinched, blinking at his quickness.

"I'm sorry," he apologized. Amy moved away back a few steps. "Your right, I'm just being mean, and stupid about this. I know it's important, but, I just, it's weird, I'm-"

He was cut short when he felt two hands wrap around his waist and bringing him into a hug. "You're a hero," she whispered. Sonic blushed and looked down at her. He nervously smiled and slowly wrapped his hands around her hoping he was doing the right move. "Thanks," he warmly said.

.:XxX:.

The queen smirked to herself outside. Sonic had a new small weakness and that was losing his new friend. He'd do anything to keep Amy safe and now she knew it. She turned calmly the opposite way she came from to go back downstairs. She can only hope now that Amy can get him to come to the throne room to confirm it.

The king and queen talked to Sonic as a family. Amy waited by helping her mother clean a few rooms in the meantime. She had explained to her mother about the kingdom's attack and how Sonic's going to get married. Ms. Rose only smiled listing to her little child. Amy was a little upset about him getting married. What will happen if he did? Would he still be able to play with him while another girl was in his life? Maybe she wasn't nice. Maybe she could be mean, or the jealous type.

She finished wiping the last chair in a dressing room. She sighed and looked up to see Sonic on the door way. Her face lit up in happiness.

"Can I talk to you?" he asked shyly rubbing the back of his neck.

Amy looked at her mother who was in the other room. She looked back nodding and dropped her towel on the ground. She ran to Sonic and they both raced down the hallway.

"Amy have you finished the chair?" Ms. Rose came out from the room and saw the room was empty. A towel was on the floor but her daughter was nowhere in sight. "Amelia?"

.:XxX:.

Sonic and Amy walked down the small garden outside. It was desk and the lights around the garden lid the way. They walked down to a tree near a creek. Sonic sat down next to the trunk and Amy sat near Sonic. They were quiet taking in the peaceful wind of the night. "So what happened?" Amy asked in a low voice.

Sonic looked up at the tree's branches and leaves. "My dad send someone to tell the kingdom the news," he answered. Amy smiled. "I'm proud of you," she warmly told him. He smirked over at her. She chuckled at his look and turned back to the view. Sonic dropped his smirk and then asked, "Amy,"

"Yes,"

"What'll happen when I'm married?"

Amy paused and her eyes grew wide. That's been the question she wanted to ask him. She shrugged. "I don't know," she said blankly not looking over to him.

Sonic sighed and grabbed some of the grass under him. He then let it go. "You're the bestestist most coolest of any coolest, awesomeness friend I've ever met. I don't want to lose you." He said in a serious voice.

Amy slowly shifted her body to him. "Why do you think you'll lose me?" she asked innocently.

"I don't know, but I don't want you to go away. I like being with you. You're the only reason why I haven't run away yet." He said his last sentence slyly with a grin. Amy laughed and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"We're friends and friends stick together." She said. He still wasn't convinced about it and so frowned. Amy kept her smile. "How about this, Promise me you'll do whatever it takes to make sure we stay friends… forever" she said. He now offered that smile she wanted to see. "And you'll promise me you'll do whatever it takes to stay with me forever." He said. Amy lifted her pinkie up and so did he. "Promise?"

"Promise,"

Their pinkies united and both of them smiled into each other's eyes.

Sonic, Amy and Ms. Rose walked down to the front gate of the castle. The guards opened the gate and Ms. Rose looked over at Amy. "You ready to go?" she asked her. Amy looked up at her. "Yes mommy," she said but looked back at Sonic.

"Bye Amy hope you come back tomorrow," he said.

"She will, young prince. She always does." Ms. Rose replied before Amy did. That answer gave both kids a pleasant feeling. "Bye Sonic," she said and waved good bye.

She and her mother walked out the castle walls and down the road to the village. He smiled but soon it faded when he could see her anymore.

This time was the worst time of the day; watching her leave home after a long day of play. He hated it. He wished she could just stay and live with his family sometimes, but she had her own. He shook the sad feeling warming it with 'She'll come back tomorrow.' and sped away.

Ms. Rose and her daughter walked down the road. She was quiet and upset. Her mother noticed and turned to her.

"Amy, sweetie are you ok?" she asked. Amy turned to her. "Yea, I'm ok," she replied. Her mother frowned. Amy was not ok but the way she sounded.

"Your upset Amelia. What are you upset about?" she asked her little girl.

Amy looked down. "Sonic,"

Her mother sighed. Of course.

She had been thinking of Sonic ever since the two met. Sonic this Sonic that. She was like obsessed with him. They had just met last month and the two acted like they've known each other forever. She didn't mind that she had a friend that she felt really close to but the problem was Sonic was A prince and she was just a regular little hedgehog. They wouldn't stay together the way the asked for. It didn't work that way in this kingdom or any really. They won't know the real truth until they grow up.

"Sonic's fine sweetie. Don't worry about him" she assured. Amy's frown only got worst. "He was so sad about him getting arrived. He didn't want too, but I made him anyway. I'm a bad friend." She said sadly covering her eyes with both hands.

"You're not a bad friend. You saved the kingdom and that's a big thing Amy. He may even thank you later sweet darling" She cheerfully said. Amy looked up at her. "Your think so?" she asked.

"Yes honey I do,"

Amy felt more proud about what she did. Maybe Sonic will be happy and that's what she wanted him to be.

"I hope he and I never part." She mused with a huge smiled on her face.

I just want to let you all know that the next chapter is what every one of my friends is ready to read. It's the most exciting, actional and sadful part of it all. The part You all wouldn't want to saddest part for me is that it's a long one.
