With special permission to inspire you for the event, here's a promo to show what you can do too! :Db
Prompt:
Pulses. They beat against the clock that ticks in the corner of the room. A flick of sharp signals reveals the neon lights stream of their constant battle for survival. The lights, normal to most eyes blare a siren's visual annoyance in their unsteady eyes.
A weary hand reaches up to block the harsh light from further annoying his eyes.
He looks around.
"Ugh… Sonic?" Tails tries to see where they are.
"Hold on." Amy rushes over, a tray of medical supplies as she fumbles and some fall off. She reaches down and awkwardly tries to grasp for them while keeping her head on the side of the bed where the tray is, "Ah-ha!" she grabs it and then takes some napkins, dabbing them in cool water and patting his head. "You're all gonna be okay." She smiled warmly.
"Ughhh… Sonic? Tails?" Knuckles, on a cot over, peered around as well. "Errrk… What's with these lights?"
"Oh! Sorry…" Amy, once again looking a bit flaky and unorganized, rushed to the light switched and dimmed them just slightly.
The two men sighed in relief, before another voice came up.
"Wooahh… So, I'm not headed there." His voice sounded a bit grumbly, as if just waking up, but the humorous tone sent a relief and excitement through Amy.
"Sonic!" she held up her hands at an angle and wiggled them around excitedly, jumping from foot to foot in light but rhythmic taps. "You're okay!"
"Sure, I'm okay. How about you guys?" Sonic put an arm over his eyes, letting his other arm drop over the side of his cot.
"Just bruised." Tails muttered, rubbing his eyes and looking back at the lights. "Were they always that… glowy?"
"Hmph, it's your fault we're in this mess, anyway! You let us take the beating and deactivated the bomb with Tails's doohickey!" Knuckles was just complaining, as usual, but Sonic smiled at hearing his voice.
"It could have been a lot worse." Sonic retorted, but Amy rushed in the middle of everyone, dead center, to also make a point.
"Sonic's right! If he didn't rush to that bomb, you all would be in a lot worse condition than you are now!" She threw her arms down, proudly defending her beloved hero.
Sonic moved his arm, looking to her before rolling his eyes and letting his head and arm drop again.
"Got any food?"
"O-oh… n-no, I hadn't thought of that." Her enthusiasm and energy suddenly left her. She felt awful about not thinking of it…
She rushed away as the boys joked among themselves, placing false blame on one another and laughing as Amy went away… sulking…
She held her arm and looked back over her shoulder to the room she had hurriedly reconstructed into a hospital bed-set for the three boys…
But not a word of thanks was spoken.
She quickly made food and headed back in.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I-!" she rushed in, but hadn't noticed the Tails and Knuckles fast asleep until half way through the door.
She peered around, "Already..? Well… I-I guess they were pretty tried." She sweat dropped from nerves mostly, but also from wondering what she was going to do to preserve all the hot food.
Then a paper flapped down and she looked around to the side of the room, where Sonic lay, smiling to her.
"Ah, dinner's here." He rolled up the newspaper, and like an old gentlemen, reached over and slapped as hard as he could the cot next to him, startling Knuckles away. "Knuckles! Your food's gonna get cold!"
He sprang to life, his pillow over his face as he looked around in blindness for a moment. "Wah-huh-huh? What happened?" he was totally out of it, but the pillow slowly peeled from the dried saliva that kept it glued to his mouth a second longer before flopping onto the bed. "Oh." He saw Amy with the trays.
She held them, smiling awkwardly.
Again… No thanks.
Tails was woken up soon after and they all ate and chat,… she sat against the wall directly in front of their three beds, positioned to be pointing directly into the center of the room… where she was…
Still… they didn't acknowledge her.
She tried to intervene in the conversation many times, and they smiled to her and would comment, but shift it back to just the three of them. She convinced herself then, that they weren't realizing they were excluding her.
They finished their meal and happily handed over their trays.
"Boy, that was good!" Tails complimented, and Amy happily took the compliment.
"Isn't it always? Thank you, Tails!" …
"Swell food, Amy. Hey, you should cook for real. Like… a fancy chief or something." Knuckles also complimented, and she happily took it with glee.
"Ohh! Interesting suggestion. I'll have to think about it." She winked. …
She came over to Sonic.
By this time, her face was a neutral smile, and she didn't even bother to look up at his face.
She reached for the tray.
Sonic studied her face, and his smile… changed.
He pulled her outstretched hands towards him, and placed the tray in them but his hands over her own.
It startled her forward, making her lean and be halfway dragged across the cot and over his legs.
"A-ah!" she stumbled, having only the tip of one foot's toe still one the ground…
"Thank you… Amy."
Her eyes widened with shaking wonder as she slowly rolled them up to his tender face.
He smiled so genuinely and laughed at her expression.
"T…" she could barely form the words, moving away and slowly taking the tray off from directly in front of them. "Thank you… Sonic." She was a bit taken aback, and couldn't remove her eyes from his kind stare…
"…W-well I technically said that." Tails looked a bit ashamed, leaning his head back.
"M-me too! I even said you could make a career out of it!" Knuckles, even for just a moment, seemed to register the shift in the atmosphere.
"You gonna be okay… taking care of all three of us… Amy?" he smirked and dipped his head down, a silent reminder that he was aware of her efforts… and was considering her in all of this.
She was more than touched, and her joy was only piling up like a shaken bottle about to burst it's cap off.
"Oh, Sonic!" she tossed the trays skywards, making Tails and Knuckles freak out as they crashed down just near their cots. She leaped onto the cot with him again, making him squirm in discomfort as she crawled to embrace him.
"Ow, ohh, ah-!" He was in slight pain at the pressure and moving his still injured limps, trying desperately to dodge Amy's trampling hands and knees as she climbed over to get to him.
"Sooooniiicc! Ohh~" she cried out, not able to restrain her emotions as she held her head against his own, wrapping her arms around his neck.
She held him there for a moment as he awkwardly shifted his eyes around, before looking to Tails and Knuckles and shrugging.
"This is what happens when you're grateful and let women know about it."
The two men awkwardly chuckled quietly, afraid of how Amy may react and if she would think it funny or not…
