Ok, looks like the whole updating every Friday idea isn't going to work. Sorry about that. I can never keep to schedules. Anyway, thanks for the reviews!

4: Burning Jealousy

"It was so romantic, Cream." Amy squealed as her and Cream sat outside Tails' workshop.

Sonic frowned and tried to concentrate on the clouds drifting by than Amy swooning over Mr Perfect. He still thought something weird was going on and he was determined to find out.

"It's nice you see you so happy." Cream replied with a sweet smile on her face.

"Luke is making me the happiest woman alive." Amy sighed dreamily and Sonic resisted the urge to vomit.

He still couldn't understand what was so great about the guy. He was creepy and just appeared out of nowhere. He'd saved Amy's life way more times than this Luke, so what made him so special?

"We have another date tonight!" Amy explained excitedly. "We're going to have a picnic and watch the sun set."

"That sounds wonderful." Cream replied before Sonic decided he'd heard enough and dashed back inside the workshop where Tails was still working on his latest project.

"There's something funny going on with that Luke." Sonic announced as he paced the room and Tails rolled his eyes.

"You spied on them, didn't you?" He accused as his eyes narrowed at the blue hedgehog.

"That's not the point!" Sonic shrieked. "He has her under some kind of spell or something!"

Tails laughed. "That's no spell, that's just Amy in love. It's how she normally acts. You know how she is with emotions."

Sonic snorted. "That's not love."

Tails gave him a weird look. "And you'd know because…?"

"Hey, I do know some stuff about this sort of thing." Sonic said folding his arms across his chest. "And I know that Luke is up to something and Amy is going to get hurt."

Tails looked at him helplessly before sighing.

"Sonic, why don't you just admit that you're jealous?"

"What?!" Sonic shrieked in outrage.

Tails glared at him. "Well that's how you're behaving. You haven't shut up about this since you found out Luke and Amy were dating."

"That's not true." Sonic gasped out. "I just don't want her getting hurt."

"Because you like her." Tails smirked.

"As a friend yes."

"Denial." Tails muttered to himself, smiling as he turned away from a flustered looking Sonic to get back to work.

Sonic growled to himself. "I mean how could I like like her anyway? She's annoying, clingy and over emotional."

"Well can you list what you like about her?" Tails tried to resist the urge to laugh.

"Sure, she's friendly, happy, strong, funny, and smart and can hold her own." Sonic gushed out without thinking and froze once he realised how Tails was going to twist everything he just said. "But that doesn't mean I'm in love with her or anything." He added quickly. "She's a good friend."

"Whatever you say Sonic." Tails murmured, rolling his eyes. It was obvious to him from here that Sonic liked Amy more than just a friend.

"Cream and I are heading down to the beach, want to join?" Amy asked as she poked her head around the door.

"No thanks." Sonic answered a little more aggressive than necessary. Tails glared at him before turning to Amy.

"No thank you Amy, I have a lot of work to do here." Tails replied.

"You should really control your temper Sonic." Amy commented.

"You're one to talk." Sonic muttered, glaring at the floor.

"What's the supposed to mean?" Amy challenged.

Sonic snorted. "It doesn't matter, just go and have fun with pretty boy."

Amy giggled. "He's more than pretty, he's amazing."

Sonic groaned and covered his ears. "I don't need to listen to this!"

"You're acting weird Sonic, are you feeling ok?" Amy asked trying to take a step towards him and Sonic backed off.

"I'm fine." He insisted. "Don't keep pretty boy waiting."

Amy huffed before storming out.

"Was the attitude really necessary?" Tails glared at his best friend.

Sonic merely shrugged and sat down on the bench next to the window. "I don't need to listen to her going on about how fantastic Luke is."

He's definitely jealous, Tails thought to himself. Sonic was never good with emotions, but Tails was absolutely sure that he was jealous over Luke dating Amy. Tails knew that this could get ugly now and he wasn't looking forward to the drama he knew would accompany it.

"I'll prove to you that Luke is up to no good." Sonic said in a determined voice and Tails sighed.

"How? Don't go doing anything stupid." Tails demanded.

Sonic shook his head. "Don't worry about me, but you and I are going to spy on their date tonight and I'll prove to you that Luke is up to something."

"Whoa no way!" Tails shrieked. "I'm not going to sink to your level just so you can prove a point."

Sonic looked at him annoyed. "Look Tails, Amy's our friend and if anyone dares mess with her, then we need to find out sooner rather than later."

Tails sighed and relaxed slightly. "If I go with you this once and we find nothing, will you shut up about the whole issue?"

Sonic nodded and beamed at him.

"Let's go." Sonic announced as they noted the sun that was beginning to set over the horizon.

.

"This is wrong on so many levels." Tails whispered uneasily as they hid on top of a tree, over-looking where Amy and Luke were sat hand in hand, watching the sun set over the ocean.

"Shhh!" Sonic shushed him as he tried to listen to their conversation. He leaned carefully out of tree and strained his ears as best he could to hear what they were talking about.

"Then he just went all weird with me." Amy finished telling her story about Sonic's behaviour earlier.

Luke frowned. "I've never liked that hedgehog, you should stay away from him in the future."

Amy sighed and nodded.

"Do you know him Sonic?" Tails whispered to him in shock.

Sonic shook his head. "I think he was talking about something like this earlier. I've never met him before in my life."

"Isn't this sunset beautiful?" Amy commented and Luke smiled at her.

"Yeah, the beautiful pink colours remind me of you."

Sonic gagged and Tails elbowed him.

"I brought something for you." Luke said as he pulled a cup with a straw in out of the picnic basket. "It's your favourite milkshake."

"Oh you're too good to me." Amy beamed and took it off him and began sipping at it.

"Am I the only one who's noticed that he always gets her a drink?" Sonic mused as he drummed his fingers against the branch of the tree.

Tails thought for a moment. "Now that you mention it, I think you have a point."

"Maybe there's some sort of mind control potion in there!" Sonic gasped and Tails slouched against the tree trunk in annoyance.

"Really Sonic?" Tails hissed in disbelief.

"Well anything is possible." Sonic said as he glared at Luke.

"Maybe, he's just being nice?" Tails offered alternatives to what was going on. "We can't just assume that he's up to something bad."

"Sssh!" Sonic shushed him again as he heard something interesting.

"There, now no more thoughts on the stupid blue hedgehog right?" Luke smirked as Amy placed her hand on her head, looking really dizzy.

"There's only you." She said in a trance and Luke's smirk widened.

Sonic and Tails both gasped. Luke was definitely up to something.
