Amy's Devious Scheme

Excitement bubbled deep within Amy. The usual feeling she got as she approached where Sonic usually hung out. It was a feeling that she would never get used to. The hopeless giddiness took over as her walk turned into a merry skip, her arms swinging by her side, a bright smile on her face as Sonic's face filled her mind.

Tails' workshop came into view as she turned the street corner and Amy picked up the pace. The large doors were open wide, letting the spring breeze seep in. A few blossoms were blowing into the large room and Amy's smile widened as she followed the little pink petals. Her boots clicked against the simple concrete floor, her eyes magnetically drawn to the blue hedgehog fast asleep on a bench by a large open window. One arm was draped behind his quills, supporting his neck and head while the other was flung across his face, his mouth parted slightly as he breathed slowly. Amy wanted to squeal at the look of innocence on his sleeping features, but forced herself to remain quiet, observing him.

"Oh, hey Amy," Tails' voice made her jump slightly, "I didn't hear you come in."

"I just got here." She smiled at him politely, her eyes reluctantly leaving the love of her life to see Tails in the far corner who appeared to be working hard on some test tubes. A bunsen burner was lit with the blue flame heating something in another test tube while the others had appeared to be left to the side to cool off.

Amy curiously walked over and inspected the liquid. "What are you making?"

Tails smiled proudly. "It's my new truth serum."

"Truth serum?"

"Yeah, I've been working on it for about a week now and it's been successfully tested. Well…" Tails' ears flattened, "If you can call Sonic now knowing a lot of my deepest, darkest secrets a success."

Amy stared at the amber coloured liquid in awe. "So it really works?"

"Absolutely." Tails replied, staring proudly at his work. "Although it only lasts about ten minutes; I'm trying to get it to last longer. This should be really helpful with catching criminals."

"That's great Tails!"

"Thanks Amy." Tails beamed. "A simple injection is all it takes and then the subject will have to no choice but to answer questions truthfully. They won't even be able to stop themselves from answering. Telling the truth is made an impulse reaction."

"And it works on anyone?"

"Anyone."

"Hmmm."

Could she…? No, it was a ridiculous idea. She couldn't possibly do something like that. It was a violation of Sonic's privacy and trust. But despite knowing what the right thing to do was, the temptation kept eating away at her. Amy's body stiffened as she tried with all her might to insist to the curious part of her brain that this was wrong.

"Are you ok, Amy?" Tails' voice snapped her out of her inner turmoil.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine."

Tails shot her a look of concern, unconvinced by her slightly frantic tone. He shrugged it off anyway and began rummaging through some drawers, sighing in frustration when he couldn't find what he was looking for.

"Sorry Amy I just need to quickly head out and get something. I hope you don't mind, I know you've come all this to visit." Tails apologised as he pulled his goggles off and placed them on the desk.

Amy smiled reassuringly. "It's fine. I can just wake that lazy creature up over there." She gestured in Sonic's direction who still appeared to be sleeping soundly.

Tails rolled his eyes and smiled before heading out of the open doors and disappearing from sight. Amy's eyes darted back to the blue hedgehog whose position had remained unchanged. He had a slight smile on his face and Amy wondered what he could be dreaming about. Her eyes gravitated back to the liquid in the test tubes. All she had to do was inject Sonic with it. Then his mind was hers for the picking. All of his thoughts and feelings would spill before her without hesitation. So often had she stared at him thinking to himself, wondering what had his mind so occupied. What hidden feelings lurked behind that cocky smile? What were his true feelings for her? To know the answer, a simple injection was all it would take.

But no. She couldn't. It was wrong. It was invasive. It was absurd.

It was too good of an opportunity to miss.

He wouldn't know, would he? If she injected him while he was asleep, woke him up and asked him, he wouldn't know what was going on. It's not like it would hurt him. It might even help him. Help him get some things off his chest that he was holding back. His secrets were safe with her. But she just had to know. The curiosity continued to eat at her.

Before she could talk herself out of it, Amy had made her way to Tails' desk and touched one of the test tubes with the back of her hand. It was cool so now there was nothing to stop her. Taking a deep breath, she picked up a needle from a tray of sterilised needles and filled it with the serum. The amber liquid glistened in the crystal clear needle and Amy knew she was out of her mind. But she couldn't resist.

Amy tip-toed over as quietly as she could before she bent down, held her breath and inserted the needle into his arm, injecting him with the truth serum. Sonic jolted slightly in his sleep, frowning, moving his arm to the flick the needle away. Amy quickly pulled it out of his arm before he could touch it, turning back to put the needle back on the desk. Sonic continued to shift around and Amy made her way back, smirking as his eyes opened slightly before closing again as he yawned and stretched.

His eyes opened fully this time and he looked at Amy with slight surprise.

"Oh, hey Amy." He smiled, still looking slightly sleepy. "Long time no see."

"Hi Sonic." Amy's smile became slightly nervous. She decided she'd ask a few tester questions, just to test the waters and see if it really did work. "Are you happy to see me?"

"Of course I am." Sonic replied without a moment's hesitation, which caught Amy slightly by surprise.

"Hey Sonic? What are you scared of?" She asked as innocently as she could.

"Water." Sonic shuddered. "And losing my friends."

Amy tried to suppress her squeal at how cute that sounded and pressed on. She might as well ask a few more just to answer a few mysteries to her before she went in for the kill. She'd never thought about it before, but there was so much to Sonic that she didn't know. Heck, that nobody knew. He never really stopped to talk about himself. He was always selflessly devoting his time to rescue other people and saving the world that he never really truly opened up to anyone. Now was her chance.

"Do you hate Shadow?" They always seemed so tense around each other and fought a lot, but yet they often did seem capable of working together.

Sonic chuckled. "No. He's a bit too serious, but I don't hate him for that. After all, he has been a big help."

Tails wasn't kidding. The subject really did spill their guts without hesitation.

"Hmmm. Do you ever get scared in battle?"

"Sometimes." Sonic replied. "I guess it depends what the stakes are and if you guys are in danger."

Amy placed a hand over her racing heart. Sonic had always been adorable, but she never knew he was this adorable. He was opening up to her so easily and effortlessly right now. She wished he could be like this always. She wondered if this is what it could be like if they became a couple. To be that one person who Sonic trusted more than anyone. The other half he could reveal everything to; all his secrets and worries. Amy wanted so badly to be that person that he could lean on. It almost broke her heart to think that Sonic carried so much weight on his shoulders. So much stuff he kept hidden inside that enigmatic mind of his and yet he never told a soul. She could imagine that it could get quite lonely and difficult. Keeping so much bottled up must be hard. She wanted to help him with that. In this moment she could pretend that this was the case. In a way, maybe this could help Sonic. He was finally opening up about himself, something he never did.

However, Amy knew that she couldn't afford to mess around any longer. After all, the truth serum did have a time limit and she wasn't too sure when Tails would get back. He could walk in at any minute and he'd instantly know what she had done. It was now or never.

"So, Sonic," Amy shyly tapped her toes on the floor, placing her hands behind her back, trying her best to keep eye contact with him, despite how intense his green eyes were. "What are your feelings for me?"

Oh choas, this is it, Amy internally gasped as her heart raced. No going back. She was going to get the truth whether she liked it or not. This moment could make or break her now. Maybe this was a stupid idea. Too late now.

"Amy," Sonic responded, "You already know the answer."

Without giving Amy time to react, Sonic quickly stood up and vanished in a blue blur, leaving a breeze behind him that blew Amy's quills wildly around her face. Her eyes went wide before they narrowed and she clenched her fists.

"I know?" Amy snarled out through clenched teeth. "What's that supposed to mean? He was supposed to tell me the truth! That damn hedgehog always gets away!"

"Everything alright Amy?" Tails returned carrying a box full of strange looking leaves.

Amy sighed, trying to calm herself down. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Good because now you'll get to see what my completed truth serum is like once I add this final ingredient." Tails announced happily as he placed the box down on his desk next to the test tubes.

"Say what?" Amy's eyes froze.

"These leaves are the final ingredient, then these batches will be ready and if you like, I could give you a demonstration?" Tails offered.

Amy didn't say anything as she stared in the direction that Sonic had disappeared in. So…Sonic wasn't under the influence of the serum? She felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment. She couldn't believe it. That blue hedgehog was even more slippery than she gave him credit for.
