I assume you've played Sonic Adventure and therefore know Gamma's story. I had this idea that Gamma could fall in love with Amy after she saves him. Obviously she wouldn't reciprocate because feeling attraction towards machinery is nigh impossible. Just an idea I had for you. Appreciate your writing!

Sonic Adventure was very fun! I have fond memories of the game :)c
PROMPTS ARE ON SHUTDOWN! Please do not send me any requests at this time!
Commissions can be made through my blog's tab or by simply messaging me, please go over specific rules first before any purchases!
Also, I appreciate your request. Gamma needs more love! lol And yeah, Amy wouldn't feel anything more than friendship for a flicky, but I like the idea that one falls for her charms and big heart XD
This also reminds me of Game-Grumps lololol (they made a comment like this I think once. Ha!)
Prompt:
It was hard to process emotions when you've been turned into metal, but as Gamma looked through his green specs at the young hedgehog girl, he could briefly feel the muscles on his weakened wings. They felt stripped of flight, of the power of free life. For a moment, a tiny heart fluttered when his wings could not.
Amy…
Her name was Amy…
He had witnessed his friend, brother, and comrade be taken away to destruction by Eggman's command and said nothing. Suddenly, the young hedgehog girl was asking him to find the remaining humanity still left in him, depart from the robotic pull of the machine strangling his tiny body into its control.
What gave her so much compassion towards his steely hide. What aided her in seeing the helpless little Flicky he truly was inside? He had forgotten so much… and yet…
He could, for a brief moment, imagine he was staring out from the robot. He imagined himself a small bird again, gazing at a girl he wished to perch on and nuzzle with loving affection.
She had loved him when all she could see was a robot. She had pleaded and given him back what he had thought he lost. She was…
Everything to him now.
He was a number with a gun. She stood before him when destruction in the form of a blue hedgehog was going to eliminate him.
A friend… she considered a robot, unfeeling and destructive, to have a heart and soul.
He had protected her back, he had released himself from his prison… at least…
Was the Flicky Gamma? Or was Gamma like a faint dream and that strange other life was still somehow living on inside him?
He had recently reunited with his family, but as his pink little wings fluttered along the coasting wind, he looked to see that same pink hedgehog girl moving on to Station Square.
After a moment's pause, he joined her.
Finally, his longing to perch on her shoulder and squish his cheek against hers in a loving thanks could be realized!
But then he never wanted to leave.
After seeing him off, he perched on a branch and sorrowfully watched her enter the train, waving to him as he flapped his little wings in a return sign of mutual missing.
When the train departed, he ruffled his feathers and pouted. His companions noticed this and began to think…
With some help, and careful communication with gestures and claw-drawings, they were able to tell Tails that this little Flicky wanted to do more than just live freely in bliss.
He had a job to do and a hedgehog to protect.
Tails loosely understood and began to rebuild his Gamma incarnation, but before this, the little Flicky knew he couldn't be away from Amy for long.
So a few weeks later…
There was a persistent tapping on the window, as Amy awoke with her face smushed into the pillow, trying to drown out the annoying ticking.
"Ohhh… What now?" she wiggled her face around the pillow before leaning up, yawning slightly and rubbing her eyes as she carefully tossed the bedsheet aside and looked out the window.
"Hmm..? Birdie? No… Ah! The Flicky Gamma saved!" She gasped, excited to see the handsome little bird sitting on the windowsill.
He puffed up his chest, happily panting at his accomplishment of getting her recognition.
She immediately opened the window and he flew up to her, flying around her in a circle as she spun along with him.
"Oh my! Hehe, you sure are full of vigor. I'm so glad you are safe." She placed her hands neatly on her chest, overlapping the other.
Her sincere words filled him with great joy. She was still the loving Amy Rose he remembered through Gamma's hazy memories.
"Oh, are you hungry?"
He chirped.
"Well, I'll have you know I make the best food there is!" with a hop in her step, she hurried to her kitchen and the Flicky happily followed.
Once there, he helped her prepare a meal for each other, all the while whistling his affections for her.
He gripped the spoon with both talons and stirred before, looking over to see a radio and remembering something from being a machine.
He flew over and tapped it on with his beak, able to vaguely recognize words.
"Hmm?" Amy's ear flicked a bit as a classic swing song came on. She laughed, "You're a smart little Flicky." she grinned warmly as he flew over and flapped his wings a bit in the air.
Then, out of nowhere, he swooped down and lightly took her hand in his beak, spinning her around.
"Ohh!" She was pleasantly surprised but realized he was trying to dance with her. "You're just full of surprises!" she giggled, curtsying.
Everything was going to plan! The little Flicky gave a closed-eye smile in glee,… but that changed the second the wind blew by the door.
"Huh? It couldn't be… could it?" Amy looked around the Flicky, hearing a knock that jolted her in spot. "Sonic?" There was a pause.
"The one and only." A chippy voice spoke out.
"Sonic!" her enthusiasm in rushing to the door left the Flicky hovering in spot, disappointed that the same expression hadn't been created with his own tactic.
When she opened the door, everything was about Sonic, and the Flicky was left as an decoration flying in the corner.
This new dynamic, her cooing and fawning over him as she made him some food and ignored him, left him in such wild, instinctual jealousy that he had gripped Amy's shoulder and death-glared Sonic the whole time.
"Just thought I'd drop by! Tails says that family of Flickies you saved has a surprise for you."
He ate some food as Amy reached down and pulled some food up for the Flicky to eat.
Angstily, he quickly grabbed it and chewed in the other direction, making her confused as to his behavior.
"Really? Oh… I really don't need anything but their happiness though." She smiled and lovingly scratched beneath the Flicky's beak.
His feathers couldn't help it, they ruffled and puffed and he melted at her touch.
"Haha! Seems to really like you, Amy."
"Hehe! He even asked me dance! Unlike some shy hedgehogs I know." she poked fun at him, huffing a sly remark and forcing Sonic to fold his arms and look away, not commenting.
Gamma! If the Flicky could regain his form that Amy had first bonded too, maybe he could receive more attention than Sonic!
The little Flicky suddenly went ballistic, cawing and crying out, tugging on Amy's dress to get her to follow him.
"Woah, woah! What's gotten into him?" She was being dragged away by the Flicky, and Sonic got up to see what was going on.
"He seems pretty determined to get you out of the house." He noted, before shrugging and pivoting away. "Oh well. Looks like your charms are too much for him, Amy."
"Oh, stop that, Sonic! Help me out!"
"With what? He's just a small Flicky. Bat him away if you really want too." Sonic gestured weakly the motion, mostly mocking her as the little Flicky flapped his wings with all his might.
"Where do you think he's taking me?"
"Tails's, I'd imagine."
"OoooOOOOOoooh! Why are you acting so calm! He wasn't acting this way this morning…" she looked worriedly to the Flicky as she finally gave in and stopped resisting, walking in whichever direction he pulled her.
"Persistent, isn't he?" Sonic frowned a moment, seeing as Amy let the little tike win. "Guess I have too." He sighed, racing after her.
After having tugged her so far, the Flicky realized she would willingly followed and started guiding the two. Though he pecked at Sonic whenever he got too close to walking alongside Amy… he finally led the pair to Tails's workshop up on the hill.
"Hey! Sonic! Amy!" Tails waved but upon the hill, "I was just about to phone you!"
"No need. A little birdie told us it couldn't wait." Sonic joked, pointing his reversed thumb back at the Flicky, who with determined eyes, raced to Tails.
He briefly reunited with the other Flickies, who hurriedly told him how to access the new metallic body and regain his previous form.
"Tails, what's this all about?" Amy worriedly looked to him, but he just chuckled in delight.
"Your new friends seem to really owe a lot to you. I think they wanted to bring back an old friend for ya, thinking you might have missed him."
"Who?" Amy put a finger up to her cheek, trying to recall any Flickies she may have missed on her little adventure. "It hasn't been that long… has it?"
The Flicky dived like an arrow into the deactivated, scraped Eggman contraption Tails had put together. It was as close to the real look as he would have hoped. He moved into the pod that would serve as a source for the robot and began moving his wings into what he thought might be the right position for them.
Suddenly, the machine whirred to life and little wires and lights began to buzz on all around him.
He opened his beak, his eyes sparkling with the thought of Amy dashing into his metallic frame and hugging him with blissful glee, just like she did the blue hedgehog.
He closed his eyes… expecting the experience to be very similar to the first time.
But it wasn't painful… it wasn't happening.
He worriedly squawked, his friends looking down at him as he struggled to kick and try and make the thing absorb his essence.
Tails, Sonic, and Amy approached the garage as Amy saw the little device, like a puppet, start to wiggle and turn.
She covered her mouth, "I-…Is that…?"
Tails smiled to Sonic, who nudged his arm as though saying, 'Good job' with a wink.
"E-102 GAMMA. REPORTING FOR HUGGINGS." The little Flicky learned quickly that Tails had not perfectly designed the robot to match Eggman's sadistic ways. Instead, it was more like an operating gizmo, one he could manually move and speak at his will.
The other Flickies flew a few inches away as the robot stood up, resembling Gamma very well as it stared blankly out at Amy Rose.
It gripped its gun and fired a warning shot to get Sonic to move back.
"H-Hey!" Sonic tip-toed away from the beam, but clearly looked on edge.
"Woah! What was that all about!?" Tails turned worriedly upset to the Flickies. "I gave you that to help out! Not to hurt my friends!"
The other Flickies glared down at the robot, Birdie even giving it a swift kick to remind the Flicky inside to play nice.
Gamma bounced wildly for a moment, as though mocking Sonic, before tucking the gun to his side and holding out his hand to Amy.
"MISS HEDGEHOG. I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO REPAY YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS. I HAVE RETURNED TO SET A BLAZE TO EGGMAN, AND TO PROTECT ALL WE BOTH CHERISH."
"Oh, Gamma!" Amy was moved, but worriedly looked to the smoking area where Gamma had fired. "But… Make sure you keep that blaster in its holster! Understood?" she put her hands to her hips, a slight lean forward to show she meant business, as Gamma stepped back a moment in unbalanced shame.
"I MEANT NO THREAT. HE WAS JUST TOO CLOSE TO YOUR EXCELLENCE AND BEAUTY."
Tails and Sonic gave confused looks to Gamma, but Amy giggled, absolutely smitten by his words.
"You're too kind~ But Sonic is allowed to be in my presence, so no worries!"
"B-BU-BU-BU-BUT!" rapidly bouncing again, Gamma seemed to very much appose Sonic's permission to be near her.
"No, buts!" Amy winked, wiggling her finger in a scold. "However, I would absolutely love to give you a hug, old friend!"
Sonic gagged as Tails just awkwardly sweatdropped, scratching the back of his head.
"Guess he wanted more than a thank you from her… huh?"
"Oh, you think?" Sonic joked, rolling his eyes as he ignored Amy's energetic jump into Gamma's arms.
"YES. I HAVE DONE IT. I HAVE ACQUIRED YOUR PURE AFFECTION." Gamma happily held her as the little Flicky did a cute little dance inside his new robotic toy.
Amy giggled, "I didn't realize you wanted to thank me so much, even going back inside such a dark and scary experience for you… just to say hello again to little old me." Amy trailed off, missing his point as he realized something very heartbreaking.
"YOU… YOU ONLY SEE ME AS THE ROBOT?"
"Oh no! I see you as that charming little Flicky you always were too!"
"…YOU SEE ME NOT AS I HAD HOPED." The Robot leaned down, showing the Flicky's disappointment as he gently set her down.
"I SEE NOW… THAT HEDGEHOG… HE IS THE OBJECT OF YOUR AFFECTIONS. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR A FLICKY OR ROBOT."
"That's not true! Many people dwell in my heart!" Amy happily placed her hands over her heart, then guided Gamma's to the circular opening where the Flicky had flown inside. "Just like you hold a very special one in yours!"
The same feeling of understanding and affection filled the little Flicky, but he decided to pull more affection out of Amy by playing dumb.
"DOES NOT COMPUTE. HOLD HAND LONGER."
"Umm… Like this?"
"YES. THIS IS GOOD."
"Oh you. This isn't even your real hand!" She let it go and reached in the circular hole all the way to the little Flicky, who happily, with a blush, reached out and let her touch his wing.
"Oh! There you are!"
He smiled sweetly, darting out of the machine and embracing her head, lightly pecking her with kisses on her forehead and cheeks.
Amy placed her hands over her face, giggling at the affections and squealing at how much it tickled.
Sonic continued to look uncomfortable while Tails looked to the other Flickies, nodding to them.
"I think I'll keep Gamma Mark II with me. As long as he doesn't blow anything up, he can come by and operate it anytime he wants too." Tails gestured with a hand to shake on it and one of the little Flickies flew down and gave him his talon, shaking to it.
"You're awfully nice, Tails."
"What can I say? I'm a sucker for giving others their hearts true desire~" he teased as he nodded his head back to Amy.
His tails wagged as Sonic groaned, turning his head away.
Amy jumped up and down when the Flicky returned to Gamma's form and Gamma lifted her hand and spun her around.
They had an awkward dance, where Amy would do a little jig and then have Gamma, while standing in place, lift his arm to twirl her every now and then from side to side.
It was a cute moment, but the Flicky knew he wouldn't lose his gratitude nor love for Amy Rose… but that perhaps, in either form, it wasn't meant to be.
