Chapter Eight: Amy's Present From Sonic
It has now been six hours since Amy arrived at the party with Sonic. Amy was with the girls dancing to some songs, and Sonic was with the guys, including Eggman having drinks.
"Yeah, Amy! You've still got the moves, girl!" Rouge exclaimed.
"I've still got the moves? Shit, I've always had them!" Amy giggles.
"Well, it's great to have you back either way, Amy!" Cream exclaimed.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Cream!" Tikal stated.
"It's great how much fun we are having!" Vanilla finished. Meanwhile, back with the guys.
They had random conversations, while having quite a few to drink. Shadow and Knuckles were half drunk again, Sonic and Tails were a little tipsy, and Eggman was still sober, as he didn't drink that much.
"Well, look at that. Once again the girls are having fun. But they're happier because Amy's back." Shadow mentioned.
"No kidding! Don't they just look so beautiful?" Knuckles asked.
"Damn straight, Knuckle-Head! Rouge, Tikal, Amy, and Vanilla? I totally would, if you know what I mean!" Shadow stated, while everyone shared a laugh. Knuckles playfully punched Shadow again.
"Hay you, naughty! What have I told you about being a cheeky boy?!" Knuckles asked, jokingly.
"Well, it certainly is great having Amy back. To be honest, as much as I love Tikal to death, I didn't feel like I enjoyed her party as much, for obvious reasons." Sonic stated. Knuckles then put a hand on Sonic's shoulder.
"We totally understand, Sonic. We were just being the friends we were, and hopefully try to cheer you up." Knuckles explained.
"Yeah, we didn't want you turning dark, and causing destruction around Mobius." Tails added.
"No, I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it at all. And I'm thankful for that. I'm just saying I didn't feel like I enjoyed it that much, because my mind was still on Amy at the time." Sonic added.
"Well, Amy's back now, Sonic. And I promise you from now on, that will never ever happen again." Eggman said. Sonic smiles.
"I'm glad we've awakened this side of you, Eggman. I'm starting to like the new you." Sonic said. Eggman chuckles.
"Well, I couldn't have found this new me without your help." Eggman added.
"So how's your children's hospital coming along?" Tails asked.
"It's going well. We've built about two so far. And I'm also redesigning Robotropolis. I want to make it a city that people will love to come visit for holidays, or even honeymoons." Eggman explained, as he winked at Shadow, when referring to the honeymoon, knowing he's now engaged to Rouge. Shadow smiles.
"Let me know when you're done, and I'll see to it." Shadow stated. Eggman gave a thumbs up, and mentions that it'll take three months to finish.
"And Sonic, what is this surprise you were giving Amy?" Knuckles asked.
"I'm going to keep this a secret for now. I'll let you know, when me and Amy are done being alone. It's a surprise for you lot as well." Sonic explained. Then romantic music started playing.
"Well, I guess it's that time again!" Knuckles called.
"Damn straight! Time to make our ladies feel special!" Shadow added.
"OK! Are you coming this time, Sonic?" Tails asked.
"Wouldn't miss this for the world!" Sonic replied.
"And while we're at it, I may as well ask Vanilla for a dance!" Eggman stated.
"OH, YEAH!" all the guys yelled out. Everyone got to their girlfriend, and asked for a dance. Which they accepted. Sonic makes his way towards Amy.
"Hay Amy?" Sonic called.
"Yes Sonic?" Amy replied. Sonic then took a bow.
"Would you care for a dance, my Rose?" Sonic asked. Amy giggles.
"Absolutely, my blue knight!" Amy replied. Sonic and Amy walk towards the dance floor, and begin a dance.
The dance lasted about ten minutes, but in Sonic and Amy's fantasy it lasted an entire lifetime. Neither of them wanted this moment to end. Then Sonic was the first to speak.
"Amy, a word with you on the balcony, please? I now have your surprise!" Sonic asked, as he winked at Amy. Amy giggles.
"OK Sonic." Amy replied. After that, they disappeared without anyone noticing. About two minutes walking up the stairs, Sonic and Amy make it to the balcony.
"It's a very beautiful night, Sonic." Amy pointed out, as she looked at the full moon, and the stars sparkling. Sonic smiles.
"It really is." Sonic replied.
"But why are we here, Sonic? What's the meaning of this?" Amy curiously asked. Sonic just smiled.
"I'm about to make all of your dreams come true." Sonic replied. Amy was now confused.
"What do you mean by that?" Amy asked. Sonic took a hold of Amy's hands.
"Amy, I remember the first day we met, and you've been wanting to be with me ever since. At first, I thought it was because you were just a fan girl, but ever since you've confessed your love, it gave me a change of heart." Sonic replied.
"I always have loved you, Sonic. Nothing will change that." Amy smiled.
"I love you too, Amy. I really love you. I've always loved you. I never knew how much you meant to me, until I almost lost you three months ago. I nearly lost you because I was selfish with my own ego, I never realized that. I'm not going to lose you again." Sonic began.
All of a sudden, Sonic dropped to one knee, and took out a small velvet box. He opened it, and there shined a twenty-four-karat gold ring, with an emerald diamond on it. Amy gasped in surprise.
"Sonic? Are you being serious right now?!" Amy called out, and happy tears welled in her eyes.
"Amy Rose, will you marry me?" Sonic proposed. Instantly, Amy just grabbed Sonic's head, and passionately kissed him. The kiss lasted a minute, and then they broke it.
"I guess that answers my question!" Sonic stated, happily.
"Damn it, you bet your ass it's a yes, Baby-Blue!" Amy replied. After that, Sonic then places the ring on Amy's left ring finger, and make their way back to the hall.
When both Sonic and Amy got back into the hall, the song had just stopped, and everyone stared at Sonic and Amy, who were both smiling. Everyone were concerned, until Amy lifted her finger.
"WE ARE ENGAGED!" they both yelled out. After that, everyone else cheered and congratulated them both with hugs, and a couple more drinks.
