Eh? Another one? It's more likely than you think!
Prompts are on shutdown, please await the official grand reopening announcement ^^
Prompt:
"Well, the effects of the berries she's eaten won't kill her." The little Butterfly girl stated as Tails and Sonic held Amy upright, her eyes spinning a bit as though about to faint.
"I told you…" Tails whined a little to Amy, but she didn't seem to be all there at the moment, "I said to stay close and not wander off on your own!"
"It's no use, Tails, she's already eaten them." Sonic, a little more sympathetic to the situation, seemed to just calm him down a moment. "Let's just focus on the present." He nodded, as though taking this a little more seriously when he looked back at the Butterfly girl.
"R-right… What are the side-effects?" Tails looked to the girl who nodded and began to move her four arms about.
"O-o-oh! Nothing serious! Since you aren't used to our food, it may make you a bit… silly and highly attractive to things."
"…" Tails and Sonic looked to each other a moment, confused by her wording.
"Like… magnetic?" Tails questioned.
"N-no… like… in love?" She shrugged, fluttering a bit in the air as silence suddenly descended on the conversation.
Then, Sonic slammed his back against a tree, spreading out, as though not wanting Amy to see him or be near him.
"That's not good." Tails sweatdropped, now being the only brave soul willing to help keep her balanced on her feet. He looked to Amy, "She's already really fond of Sonic…"
"Oh dear." the little Butterfly put one gloved hand over her mouth and flew over to look at Amy's face. "Hmm… It's definitely changing to be more redder. I'd say she ate quite a few… they do have a strong perfume to them, so I can see the allure if she was hungry." The Butterfly woman flew up a little and seemed about ready to leave. "I'm sorry I can't help any further, but the fever will last till she's digested the food properly. Please take care of your friend till then." she bowed, apologetically.
"O-oh, it's okay! It's not your fault…" Tails let go of Amy to help her sit on the ground a moment, her eyes already a bit ditsy as her vision blurred and swirled. He shook a hand to her, as though telling her to not worry about it, and she nodded at his kindness.
"The other hedgehog was looking for the blue hedgehog. I'll let him know you're here." She flew off then, "Wait till she's fallen into a slumber! That's when you can watch her a bit better!" she called from the sky, turning around to wave and cupped a hand to the side of her mouth to project the message across.
Tails was still nervous but waved lightly to her back. "O…Okay."
Tails looked annoyed towards Sonic, his eyes dropping a bit, "You gonna help me?"
Sonic pouted, "You heard the girl, if I approach Amy now, she may get hysterical." he sweatdropped, clearly nervous about the situation.
Tails sighed, "Well, can't be helped." He picked Amy's arm up to loop around his shoulders and tried to get her up. "Err…! Come on..! Let's sit… you… down… somewhere… safe!" he tried to move her, but her entire being wasn't helping him at all. Instead, her full weight slumped hard on the ground.
In Amy's reality, the grass made her fingers numb. She could barely feel her body being lifted up or even moving. Her face was hot, and her vision was starting to come back, but her mind took a minute to realize what it was looking at. Then, all at once, it lost itself completely and she started giggling.
"Since when did I get 'ere..?" She hiccuped, but then didn't talk for several seconds even after Tails answered.
Later, Shadow appeared, glad to have finally found Sonic as Amy opened her eyes to see the shapes chatting with one another.
Her eyes then honed in on Shadow's fluff, and her mouth opened into a durpy grin.
Like a slug, she flopped her asleep arm forward, not able to feel it very much, and dragged herself towards him.
Surprisingly, he didn't really notice her until she got closer, and then angled his head towards her.
"What are you doing?" He asked, his arms folded before Amy wobbled to her feet and leaned on him.
Instinctively, he caught her.
Both Tails and Sonic looked a little shaken, worried about her but also about how Shadow would react to this.
"She's a bit loopy!" Tails explained quickly. "She accidentally ate the berries here and-!"
"Your fluff… I want to squish my face in it." Amy mumbled out, as though drunk, and giggled with a few hiccups to herself.
Then Sonic broke out laughing, pointing to Shadow's slowly raising eyebrow at the confusion of this new puzzle, but also at the fact that she then kept poking his face and repeating, "Handsome, Handsome, HAnDsOme~"
She leaned her head against his shoulder and slumped downward, not able to keep herself upright as Shadow's eyebrow twitched and his mouth hung open as though not knowing what to say, although sounds did pass through them to reveal his uncomfortableness at this disturbance.
After a moment of reacting to Shadow, Sonic suddenly felt it was time to remove Amy from him. "Whoo… Alright, I had my laugh, and you-!" he quickly scooped Amy up into a bridal-style hold. Shaking his head at her with a smile, "Have had your fun. Sorry, Shadow. She tends to get into trouble if not watched carefully enough." He teased, but Amy just lightly reached for Shadow.
"Fluffy… no…" She seemed genuinely despondent, and Sonic just pouted to her in a funny response.
"Oui, I might not have his fluff, but that doesn't make me any less attractive. Come on, you. I think it's time for bed!" Remembering what the Butterfly said, he began to walk off with her, but stopped as he was passing Tails, giving him a wink, "Think you could help Shadow out in the ruins? I'll catch up with you two."
"But what about Amy?" Tails shook his head, turning to Sonic. "Em-mm, I think I'll wait for you, Shadow should go on ahead of us."
He looked to Shadow who was dusting himself off, not really sure how he was able to tolerate that and then looked to Tails with a nod.
Tails smiled, happy he wasn't too frazzled by Amy's actions and then looked back to Sonic. "I'm sure it'll be fine! I'll go gather some more intel from the locals around here while you help Amy fight through the effects of the berries."
"Alright, sounds like a plan!" Sonic agreed and took off.
After a moment of Amy being a rag-doll in his hands, he finally found a quiet enough place to set her down where the monsters that Eggman had released from the ruins weren't all crawling around.
"Okay, this should do." He set her down and squatted by her side, "Still missing the fluffy?"
She sniffed, but then yawned and began to stretch, unable to keep her balance and laid down.
"Okay, looks like we're sitting down." Sonic chuckled, sitting down and trying to keep her elevated. "Don't get too used to this… But I doubt you understand anything I'm really saying, anyway." He helped lift her head up to his shoulder, cradling her back a moment before helping it upright before it sank into him.
"You tried yet?"
"Nooo..!" she shifted her head and body, but it was clear she was extremely tried.
"Is that so?"
"I want… I … Emm…" she kept moving around, and Sonic couldn't seem to stop her from squirming.
"I know, I know… Fluffy isn't coming though, so don't rub it in…" He lightly rubbed his chest, a moment of being self-aware of an obvious difference before-
"I want someone to hold me..!" she cried out, "I want to be loved…" she flopped to the side, and Sonic stopped to stare at her a moment.
In Amy's fingertips, she could finally feel a little bit of the grass now. She could also feel the crossed leg jammed into her stomach to keep her from fully toppling over.
She wasn't aware of her surroundings, or who she was with, but the thoughts just blurted out from her mouth, and she was suddenly very anxious and talkative.
"I know." the voice was muffled in her plugged ears… her head was warm and her cheeks even more so. In a daze, she turned to the voice, but the light was too bright and his shape was lost by its stinging presence.
"Ah..!" she tried to whack the light away, but the voice just chuckled.
"What are you reaching for?" he joked.
"Someone… a memory…" She hiccuped and fell back down.
Seeing her so disoriented, he sighed and pulled her back up again.
Her quills brushed against his bare shoulder and he tried to breathe a little deeper, thinking her heartrate might get affected by it and lull her to sleep.
She did hear the thumping of something, and adjusted her head a few times, scraping against something soft and comforting…
His chin moved to stop her from rubbing against it as she spoke up once again. "What if… What if the most… handsomest man in the world hugged you? Wouldn't that be great?! Would you feel… lwovwed?~" she slurred the word, causing Sonic to tilt his head a second.
"No, I can honestly say that when I hug myself, I feel relatively the same." he kid, snickering to himself.
Her eyelids looked as though they were about to slowly blink asleep, but instead opened again and squirmed to get comfortable once more against him.
She didn't seem to put up the joke, so he let it slide, sighing and looking up at the sky.
"I've gotta get back to Tails and Shadow soon…"
"Shaw…doe?"
"Mr. Fluffy."
"Ah. Not the little boy." she yawned, slinking down to the ground again as he quickly moved away to let her do so.
He lifted a leg away and watched her slip under it to lay down. He lifted himself up, not wanting to disturb her soft decent and then smiled, moving away and looking over her.
His gaze was caring and cautious of her surroundings, he couldn't help but notice her head flop to the side and a beautiful silhouette of her peaceful body began to take shape.
He watched as, almost instantly, her light breaths and gentle adjustments showed she was falling asleep.
"…What boy?" Sonic found himself asking, not really sure why.
"…Hmph." she seemed almost asleep before he spoke, but curiosity got the better of him.
"…Have you ever been in love?" she asked.
He blinked.
There was a moment of silence, and he realized if he remained silent, she would just fall asleep, and he'd miss a grand opportunity.
"Have you?"
She shifted her body again, showing that she was struggling to remain awake after almost succumbing to sleep.
"Once… A long time ago~" she yawned, stretching her hand out a moment before turning to him, her head just by his back.
He leaned a little further up, now looming almost over her.
For some reason, she could feel his interest and complete attention on her. Her body getting some feeling back… her consciousness still waning a bit.
"A little boy?" Something had changed in his voice, and as she blinked to look up at the bluish shape over her, she was still blinded by the light and quickly shut them again.
"Yeah… He used to look at me a certain way. He doesn't anymore."
She placed a hand on him, and that heartbeat she had heard earlier, the drums had suddenly changed rhythm.
"…I've got a bit of news for you…" He smiled, leaning down by her ear as she slowly began to slip into the allure of sleep.
He hoped she was loopy enough to not remember this next part.
"But when you're not looking…" He leaned down to whisper into her ear, about to get up and dash off any moment now.
"He still looks at you like that." When the rush of wind brought a cold shiver up her exposed back, she slowly opened her eyes.
Amy Rose had fully conquered the berries' effects, and as her vision cleared, she gently looked off at a blur of blue streaking across the once painful light of the day.
Would he be gone long..? She didn't know.
Later, she heard something like a helicopter but opened her eyes to realize Tails and Sonic had returned for her. They must have not left her long and helped her up.
Later on, after Eggman was defeated and they were celebrating, Amy was caught up in joy that she had almost forgotten to stop and look over at Sonic.
In a flash, his eyes were removed from her and taken back to Tails.
She held her stare… was he really just looking at her? Was it the way he had when he was young?
She was still embarrassed by what happened, but she never forgot those words he whispered to her… thinking she was still fully under the effects of the berries.
"He still looks at you like that."
'Sonic,' she wondered, placing a hand to her quickening heartbeat as her eyes never left him. '…Have you ever been in love?'
"Ehem."
She tensed up and turned when she heard the voice, clearly trying to get her attention.
"Sha-Shadow!" she blushed and nodded profusely, "I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
He turned his head with a scoff from his nose, "Pay no mind to that." He seemed to let it go, but Amy stared at his chest fur a moment before growing embarrassed and straightening up again.
"S-sorry!" she bowed again, not daring to get up from it.
He sighed, "Those berries you digested… they weren't… a magenta color… right?"
Amy blinked, and then slowly rose her face up.
There was a strange red to his face…
Uh-oh…
