Tired

Chapter 4

Tails slowly opened his eyes to the daylight pouring through the open blinds. He smiled as he felt Amy against his body. He shut his eyes again and basked in the glow he was feeling at the moment. He listened to the soft sound of her breathing, steady and shallow.

'Now this is what life is supposed to be like. Not the hell it's been.' Tails thought to himself. He held Amy tightly against him and went back to sleep. He didn't work until one.

"Sonic. We simply don't have any other choice!" Sally yelled at the cobalt hedgehog in front of her. He was not in the least happy with the current situation.

"Sally, we can't just kill Tails!"

"Oh yes we can! He should have been executed months ago!" She calmed herself down and continued. "Sonic, we have no proof that he's not working for Robotnik. I mean, he kills two freedom fighters-"

"Who just happened to be close personal friends of yours." Sonic inserted pointedly.

Sally felt the blood rise into her face. "That is not the issue here! They were your friends too!"

Sonic bobbed his head down into his hands and glanced up at Sally wearily. "Sally, it was a accident. You heard his testimony. Robotnik hacked into his computer and gave him false orders. He had the disk to prove it!"

"It could of been falsified. And even then he should of checked back. So he's still guilty of negligence on duty!"

Sonic jumped up and screamed at her. "Yes, but you don't kill people who fuck up!"

She locked her face. "That is for me to decide. Not you. I am in command here Sonic. Now if there is nothing else-"

"Your a monster. You've let the power go to your head."

"If there is nothing else, would you please-"

"You only want to kill him because he hasn't killed himself yet. Your worse then Robotnik."

She jumped up and punched Sonic. She looked at him levelly. "If you ever say that again I will kill you. Now get the hell out." She spoke with no emotion in her voice. Sonic just stared at her in shock. He finally turned around and walked out. He looked back on her once shaking his head.

"I can't believe I ever loved you..." He turned and headed towards Tails hut.

Amy woke to the smell of fresh coffee and frying eggs. She sat up slowly, opening her eyes to the bright sunlight in the room.

'Tails must be cooking breakfast...how sweet!' Amy thought as she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up.

'...I wonder how this is going to change things between us?' Amy questioned as she got dressed. 'I guess I'll just go find out...' Amy opened the bedroom door and stepped out into the bright hallway. Tails had opened all the shades. 'He must be feeling good...' She thought as she walked into the kitchen, where Tails was setting a plate of pancakes on the table. She looked up at her and smiled nervously.

"Good morning." He said to her timidly.
