It would have been somewhere around 10pm before everyone was settled in around the lounge room, watching movies and dozing off to sleep. Believe it or not, the first out to it were Shadow and Cream. Shadow suddenly felt protective of the young rabbit, like he had a new sisterly figure. Nothing that would compare to Maria, but it was like she was some sort of equivalent.
Of course, Tails and Knuckles dozed off half way through a girly chick-flick, allowing Cosmo and Rouge to cuddle up and drift off to sleep in their arms. Not the most romantic way to go about it, they could've at least stuck out the movie, but it certainly could've gone worse!
Then there was Sonic and Amy, who were both fighting to keep their eyes open just to be together. Sonic lay on his back with Amy curled up, half on top of him. They caressed each other's hands and stared into each other's eyes as they laughed and joked quietly. It couldn't have been more clichéd, nonetheless, they enjoyed themselves. Amy finally rested her head on her hero's chest and closed her eyes, still squeezing his hands tight.
'Hey, Ames?' Sonic said.
'Yeah?'
'I love you… ya know.' Sonic stuttered a little, nervous as ever.
'Really?' Amy asked as her head shot up and looked him in the eyes.
'Yeah, I do.'
'I love you, too.' She smiled before leaning in to kiss him.
She cupped his face as she kissed him, slowly moving her hands around the back of his head and through his quills. Sonic's heart was racing faster than his feet could ever go. Sonic moved his hands up and down Amy's back and thighs, applying a little pressure each time he got nervous. Amy broke away, for the air they both needed, kissed him on the cheek once more before bidding her hero goodnight. She curled back up onto his chest and quickly dozed off to sleep, she was exhausted. Then again, they all were.
Sonic watched her sleep for a few minutes more before looking up at the ceiling, recapping the past few days. What a wild ride… He couldn't have been more happy, excited and relived to have Amy Rose home. How he missed her, how he feared for her. How he swore to never let her in harm's way again.
He was a lucky hedgehog, he had it all. Well, the whole team were lucky really. They all had everything.
