Thanks for the reviews.

I own nothing.

It's 11pm and this idea randomly popped into my head and I just had to get it down.

It Could Never Ever Ever Ever Happen

The spring sun was high in the sky and no clouds were in sight. The trees were covered in fresh leaves and blossom with a gentle breeze blowing through the area, giving the appearance of pink rain as the petals fluttered to the ground. Fresh flowers were growing after a long winter and people were out and about enjoying the wonderful day.

Tails, Amy and Cream were sat on a large picnic blanket in a field, laughing merrily. Tails was helping himself to food as Amy and Cream made daisy chains, carefully threading the stems around each other and giggling as they did so. Sonic would occasionally open his eyes to watch them as he lazed about under the shade of a tree a few feet away. They had spent the morning playing games with each other and now Sonic was content to relax, watching his friends every now and then, as for now they lived in a danger free bubble.

Well, to put it more accurately, the blue hero was watching a certain pink hedgehog.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep his eyes off her. He just couldn't help but notice that she was blossoming into a wonderful, smart and beautiful young lady. She was in the spring of her life. Every single day she grew stronger and being in her presence seemed to satisfy some sort of hunger inside him. A hunger that he had never felt before with anybody else. Only Amy could soothe it.

His green eyes drifted back to her as she finished her daisy chain and placed it around her wrist over her golden ring bracelet. She admired it as he admired her. Her pink quills blew around slightly in the breeze and her dark green eyes sparkled with happiness. Eyes that were always filled with joy and compassion and made Sonic's knees feel weak whenever he looked into them.

He'd heard about this feeling before; how people could be put under this kind of spell. He never thought that it would happen to him and lately it had been getting worse. No. He had to fight it. He had to repress it until it faded away. Sonic the Hedgehog could not allow himself to get too attached to Amy Rose. Yet the need to be by her side burned painfully in his core, his heart ached and his stomach felt queasy. How could she do this to him? How could some girl have this effect on Sonic the Hedgehog, hero of the planet? How could she turn him into blue mush?

Amy had bewitched him. Lately, she had toned it down on chasing him, was more calm around him and didn't glomp him. He found that he had actually begun to miss that. The thrill of her chasing him and the feel of her arms around him. His life felt kinda empty now, boring almost. He had no idea how much excitement she actually added to his daily life. Sure, she was still fun to be around and no matter how weird he considered her to be, he realised that he'd actually liked that about her. She was the one girl persistent enough to try and keep up with him and almost managed it, much to his astonishment. A valuable member of the team.

Sonic opened one eye once again to stare in her direction as she and Cream were now running about in the field together, ducking into the long grass as they chased each other, completely covered in daisy chains.

"Whatcha doing over here on your own?" Tails' voice startled him and Sonic managed to pry his eyes away from the giggling pink hedgehog up to his best friend.

Tails was leaning against the tree trunk, looking down at him before following his line of sight to Amy and smirking knowingly.

"See something you like?" He lightly teased before sitting down next to him.

Sonic rolled his eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about. And I came over here to take a nap."

"Well, I've never seen anyone nap by staring at one of their friends before. Or maybe friends is putting it too weakly?" Tails continued to tease.

"Very funny." Sonic muttered sarcastically as he adjusted himself slightly into a more comfortable position. "I wasn't staring at her."

"You even had the googly-eyed look, Sonic." Tails sighed. "Why don't you just tell her how you feel?"

"I still don't know what you're talking about."

Tails grinned, poking Sonic where his heart was. Sonic knocked his hand away and glared up at his little brother with a hint of annoyance on his features.

"You're in loooove."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"I'm not arguing over this!" Sonic snapped before he added under his breath so the girls wouldn't hear. "I am not in love with Amy."

"Well considering you've been acting incredibly weird around her lately and keep staring at her, I'd say that qualifies for the conclusion that you are indeed in love with her." Tails deducted, smiling proudly as Sonic sat there speechless.

He had hoped that his behaviour around her had gone unnoticed. Shoot, it looked like he was rumbled. But, that didn't mean he was prepared to admit that out loud.

"There must be a problem with your evidence then, because that isn't true."

Tails' smirk widened. "Oh really? Then please reveal why you keep staring at her."

"Because…" Sonic frantically searched through his brain for an excuse. "Because bees keep landing on her and I'm worried that she's going to get stung." Sonic mentally slapped himself as Tails burst out laughing.

"Oh, is that right?"

Sonic laughed nervously. "Yeah, weird huh? Maybe they think she's a flower or something? You never know, Amy could be allergic."

"Sonic the Hedgehog, always protecting his friends from bees." Tails howled with laughter as Sonic felt a light blush staining his cheeks.

Tails finally managed to calm down and turned back to face him. "Ok, now what's the real reason?"

"I just told you." Sonic huffed. "But clearly you find the fact that I want to look out for my friends amusing."

Tails snorted. "When will you quit lying Sonic? More importantly, when will you quit lying to yourself?"

Sonic glared up at him.

"Like I said, I don't know what you're talking about." Sonic said seriously as he abruptly stood up. His eyes drifted over to Amy where she was twirling around with Cream. Her red dress flaring out around her, a bright smile on her face, her movement as graceful as the most skilled ballerina. He shook his head to wake himself from his Amy induced trance and brushed any dirt off his fur.

"Besides," Sonic continued, "Even if I did…you know…then it could never ever ever ever happen."

"What?" Tails gasped in confusion. "Why?"

"Catch you later." Sonic murmured, ignoring Tails' question before speeding off, away from his friends.

What he said to Tails was correct though. He may be…in love…with Amy, but nothing could ever come of it. He could never act on his feelings. He'd be doomed to lose his freedom and not only that, but it wouldn't be fair to Amy. Maybe the reason she didn't chase him anymore was because she no longer loved him? Either way, if they were to have a relationship, then Amy would be in great danger. If any of his enemies caught on, she could be used against him. Sure, being his friend was fairly dangerous in itself, but if anyone knew he had these strong feelings for her…Sonic shuddered at the thought, more convinced than ever.

This was for the best, no matter how much it pained him. It could never ever ever ever happen.
