anonymous asked:
Sonic friendship prompt, Knuckles has to leave the island for some business for a few days so he asks Amy to watch over the Master Emerald for him. While he's away Rouge comes at first to take it but without Knuckles it's not much fun so they have girl time. Tails come with an invention to work on and keep Amy company, and last Sonic to see how "dedicated" Amy is to playing guardian but really it's a fun game to keep her from being bored and then chills out on the island so she's not alone.

PROMPTS ARE ON SHUTDOWN, DO NOT SEND ANY IN, PLEASE! 3
Prompt:
"Now, you sure you got enough berries for ya to sit here the whole day while I'm gone?" Knuckles placed the branches of bushes down as she looked at the dirty branches with rotten or otherwise already bug-eaten berries and scrunched her face into a wrinkly smile to mask her distaste.
"Em-hmm." Was all she could kindly get out, before shaking her head and holding out a hand to his shoulder, making him frown and fold his arms as he leaned up from placing the food down. "Don't you worry, Knuckles! I know this is a lot I'm asking of you-"
"I'm asking you," He countered.
"But I swear upon my love of Sonic T. Hedgehog," she put a hand to her heart.
"Please don't swear in front of the Chao." he looked like he was annoyed by her 'oaths'.
"That not a Emerald will be turned! Not a ray of light out of place on them, and that the stones of your ancestor's will remain untouched!" In true Amy Rose fashion, she gestured to the wide open altar and then gave Knuckles a powerful look of sincerety to pack a punch into her words.
"I'm asking you to dust them." he flopped out an extremely old rag and expected her to take it.
"O-oh… well, besides to clean them, of course." she had a little bead of sweat off the side of her face at the awkward reminder, but happily took the rag and then looked it over with her tongue sticking out in disapproval.
"You, uh… live like this?" She then quickly corrected herself, "N-no-not that there's anything wrong with living off the land!" she waved a hand out in front of herself, "In fact, I've often dreamed about me and Sonic owning a cottage out somewhere~ With a small garden and-"
"Alright, it's all yours." Knuckles was already a few steps down the altar when her mouth flung down in shock. He waved her off as she continued to reach out a second for him in fear.
"W-wai-wait, you're leaving already!?" she looked at the branches that were suddenly swarmed by ravenous bugs that flew off to leave not a leaf on the branch, making her lift up her foot and guard her face a second with her arms at their swift attack on her 'food supply' and then looked to the dirty rag in her hand. "Great… I can do this… just gonna… sit up here… and, um…" she wiggled her butt a second, looking to see where the 'best' spot would be to sit before leaning back up and looking down.
Pouting, she dusted the spot off with the rag and then nodded in approval, before sitting down and neatly tidying up her red and white-end-striped dress out.
She sat up in the shining light and squinted a bit at it's harshness… unforgiving.
She blows a rasberry when one of her quills lingers a little lower than usual… then another one begins to droop and she 'Oh!'s and starts trying to mend her hair, putting the rag down.
As she carefully tries to fix her hair, a warm wind blew and the rag went flying off down the stairs, "Ohh..!" she cried out, reaching out before flopping back on her spot, looking sorry as it began to gently–but quickly–make it's way over the jungles and… probably lost forever.
She sighed… twiddling her thumbs.
She looked down, a little unsure now…
A Chao floated up before looking like he was about to be blown back by the wind.
"Ah! Look out!" she quickly jumped up and rushed to grab him, balancing on one foot while the wind continued before it died down at last and she wobbled back onto the stairs. "Phew… That was a close one, right little buddy?"
She smiled so tenderly down to the strange little child, before it held up a flower and she realized…
"You… you got this for me?" she took it in one hand, before suddenly shrieking in surprise as it blinked it's eyes, "Did you come all the way up here just to keep me company on my very important job for Knuckles?!" she teared up a little, "Ohw~ Aren't you the sweetest thing! Heh-ha!" she chimed as she embraced it up to her face and cheek, having it's little yellow ball form a heart above it's head.
"Well, that doesn't sound like Knuckle-boy, at all…" the womanly voice caught Amy's attention and she quickly turned her attention back to the Master Emerald.
Crying out, she called out her name, "Rouge!" she then scrambled to get back to the top of the Altar, "Don't you dare-!"
"Zip it, Pinkie, I'm not here for the jewels, today." She was lounging on top of the Master Emerald, a hand up by her neck as she elongated it, showing she was leisurely stretching.
She kicked up her feet too, excercising as she rolled to her back and crossed them, lifting them up and down as she put her hands behind her back, "I wasn't expecting to see you here… of all people."
Amy marched up to the Master Emerald, holding the Chao like a baby in one arm as it munched on one of it's hands, looking up to Rouge. Amy stomped a foot down on the last step towards her and put her hands on her hips, "Knuckles warned me about you…" She gave her a raised eyebrow, a true stink-eye. "He said you've been coming around an awful lot! So–of course!–he didn't want to leave the Master Emerald unattended!" Her angry brow made Rouge look down with a sly returning smile of her own.
"Oh? Is that right?"
"It certainly is!" Amy huffed, "Why are you so fixated on it, anyway?" She tilted her head to the side, curious of her motives.
"Heh, it's not much fun to wait around for Sonic to 'attend' your fancy shopping sprees or resturtants, now is it?" Rouge threw back at her, turning to her stomach and dangling her crossed wrist over the Master Emerald, "I'd think you of all people would understand how that feels…"
Amy narrowed her eyes a moment, thinking about her words… carefully, she decoded it and then her eyes widened. "Ohh..!" her mood completely changed as she giggled into her hand. "You're a sly one, aren't you, Rouge?" She gave her a cheeky grin, raising her eye, "I didn't think you'd care."
"Well, it's no fun to steal from someone so boring." She rolled back over and Amy coughed out an offended gasp–AH!
"I'll have you know, I can yell just as firecely!" she teased, then set the little Chao down by the sticks, "Don't poke yourself now, little one." she sweetly cooed, walking over to Rouge and jumping up a little to sit on the Master Emerald with her. She threw her feet off the side and sat with two hands on either side, closing her eyes and bobbing her shoulders back and forth, "Ain't this the best spot to sunbathe?"
"Remind me to bring my shades." Rouge smiled, looking up at the sun with her before seeing Amy close her own, basking in it's warm light. "… You seem to be enjoying yourself," She hummed amusingly as she switched her positioning again, leaning up and stretching out her back, flapping her wings delicately before shifting to the side and pulling her legs in, giving Amy a bit more attention than before. "My, my… I've never seen a 'substitute Guardian' with their eyes shut before… mind if I do try and steal right from under your cute button nose, then?" She mocked in good spirits, but Amy just opened an eye to her with a smile.
"Do you ever not mess with Knuckles?" she asked, stretching out her hands to the sun, then folding one behind her neck as she gave a good stretch there too.
"Easy enough. Do you ever not give Sonic the time of day?" She openly responded. "Now don't get me wrong… it's not like I care for the red couch potato or anything." She looked away a second, masking her affections, "But I'm sure you get a 'tug' every now and then for something fun and exciting, right?"
"A tug?" Amy looked over to Rouge, who smiled with a bit of dark delight at that.
"You know… or are you too young for that–I want to play a little 'hard to get' every now and then–feeling?" she wiggled her shoulders and Amy just huffed, turning away.
"Oh? So you do know what I mean?" Rouge laughed, "Why so abashed by it?"
"I'm-! My love for Sonic is pure!" she countered and Rouge continued to snicker.
"Alright, alright… didn't mean to push a button, there… oh?" She had let her neck fall to her shoulder a moment at Amy's stubborness before looking up to see Tails flying towards them. "Well, girl talk will have to wait. Just know this much…" she flew up and behind Amy, putting her hands to her shoulders. "It won't be long now… before you do know what I mean…" she wiggled her hands down Amy's arms and watched as Amy's whole quills slowly rose up as though electrified, her face wincing at the sensation before she threw out her hammer and Rouge flew off with an amused chuckle. "Knuckles's isn't the only one that I seem to get ruffled-up, appearently." she non-chalantly stated before taking her leave as Amy huffed and stomped and roared out her name upon the Master Emerald, swinging her hammer intimidatingly around.
She finally composed herself and panted in her exhaustion, not liking those kinds of jokes…
"Amy..!" Tails called to her, holding a box in his hands with a satelite dish upon it.
"O-oh!" Amy ran a hand through her quills to get them to 'deflate' as it were and then smiled sheepishly to Tails, "What's-" she shook out her head, "-up, buddy?" she finished, batting down her quills as Tails's smile turned to curiousity as he tilted his head.
"You okay? I saw you sitting and talking with Rouge just now." He inquired but she nervously threw out her hands, shaking them around as her hammer was still in one.
"N-no-nothing of note! So-! What'cha got there, Tails?" She immediately changed the subject and looked down over Tails's shoulder, who happily showed her his invention.
"I heard you'd be up here today! So I thought you'd like a cool new device I just made!" he clicked a big button right in front on the top of the device, as the satelite starting turning and adjusting itself left and right, moving it's neck up and down before fanning out the metallic dish and then…
"Music?" Amy looked intriqued.
"It's a portalble radio!" he excitedly admitting, showing the pride in his cheeks as he smiled from ear to ear. "It's small and I'm thinking you'd like it! Consider it a gift!" he outstretched his hands to her and she couldn't help but purse her lips into a smile, "Awww, Tails-wailsie!"
"D-don't… don't ever call me that." He looked awkwardly to her as his proud smile backfired into a groaning frown, having some sweat also trickle down the side of his face while Amy held up the radio device and wiggled her body left and right, pulling it closer to her.
"Aww~ It's perfect! But… why did you think of giving it to me? It's really sweet, Tails, I'm just curious is all." She bent her eyes in care as he nodded to her question.
"To be honest, Sonic was the one that said you'd be here. When I showed it to him, he commented something like, 'I bet Amy would love to listen to this while up on Angel Island!' then took off. I figured that was his way of showing he worried–or, uhh–cared about you, Amy." He scratched the back of his head, not sure how to relate that tale without getting Sonic in a bit of trouble…
"He… did?" Amy's eyes sparkled at hearing that he was thinking about her and her concerns today. "Owh~ My hero!" she embraced the radio once more.
"Heh, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that." Tails's twin tails intermediately flapped behind him in the soft breeze. "Oh! I should of said this sooner, but I found this while flying up here." He took out… the old rag!?
"Oh! Thank you!" Amy cheerfully took it from him, "It's the cleaning rag that Knuckles entrusted to me!"
"… T-that old thing?" Tails looked at it, "I~ don't mean to be judgy but…" he leaned his face up next to Amy's and she nodded.
"No, yeah, it's seen no better days." she admitted.
"Haha! Want me to get one of my nicer polishers? Just imagine how happy Knuckles will be when we really give the Master and other Emeralds a good shine up!" he held up a finger to the idea and Amy matched it with her own, putting it along side his.
"That's a great idea! And two sets of hands are always better!"
They grinned in agreed joy together as Tails washed the rag, just in case it held any meaning to Knuckles, and then brought his own kit for polishing the X-Tornado and the like.
They spent a good while shining up everything, even the Chao flew up to help as well.
After a good day's work, they 'phew'd and drank some cold water together, before wiping the sweat off their brow and watching as the sunset perfectly aligned with their hard earned work, and showed off a brilliant cascade of warm lights that were like a pastel rainbow from the Emeralds.
The Chao cooed in wonder, as Amy and Tails marveled and then looked to each other, proud of their achievement together.
Then they heard a whistle, "That's some view!"
Amy turned around, excitedly, "Sonic!" she cheered, as Tails gave a closed-eyed smile to the two.
"Wheeeeeelllllllp~" he gave a elongated sound off as he got up with his knees from the top step of the altar, "I better get going. Here's the rag I washed for you to give back to Knuckles." he handed it to her before waving to Sonic, "I would stick around, but… I've left the X-Tornado for far too long. It gets lonely in the garage without me." He winked to Amy, who mouthed a sweet 'thank you' as he grinned and flew up to clap his hands against Sonic's raised ones, a double-high five. "Quills down!" he cheered.
"Tails up!" Sonic resounded in his reply, as though that was their little way of doing a 'secret high-five' motto.
"Whoo," Sonic put his hands to his hips as Tails exited, flying off and took in the sweet open air. "It sure is nice up here!" he grinned.
"Hehe," Amy was waiting for him to take a seat, giddy with excitement as she patted her feet together into a pigeon-toe.
"How was your day? Hard work, or hardly working?" He teased, walking up to take Tails's seat he once occupied.
"Whew!" he plopped down and rubbed his knees, as though massaging them. "Man, what a great climb!" he exclaimed, "It never gets old…" he leaned his hands back as he took in the view… the mountains below that just barely tipped the jungle's skyline…
"Ain't it something?" Amy swooned a bit, and Sonic agreed.
"Yeah,… it's real pretty!" he seemed to need some help with what she was getting at…
"Anythiiing… else?" She scooted closer, "That you find pretty?"
"I said the Master Emerald and the other Chaos Emeralds looked real sparkly, didn't I?" he raised a humorous eyebrow, before seeing her scoot closer and turn his head away, finally seeing what she was meaning.
"Anythiiing… else?" she repeated, moving her hand to his arm and then- "Got'cha!" she took hold of his arm and huddled herself as tightly as she could beside him, resting her head on his shoulder, making sure to get as close as possible.
"It's not really a fair catch when I gave it to ya." He looked a little put out in how silly she was acting, but she just giggled at his response.
"Those are the best kind of catches!" she musically giggled next to him and he lowered his head as though to secretly smile and accept that.
"Whatever you say… Amy." ever so subtley… he turned his head to hers.
"… You never did answer my question." It was only a few moments later, but they were just sitting by the sunset together, getting a bit cold due to the altitude, but Amy huddled close to keep them both warm.
"Oh!" her eyes opened from their relaxed, almost closed state. "I chased off Rouge, today!" she beamed.
He formed an 'o' with his mouth, "Is that a fact?" Trying to look impressed as he moved his head and looked down to her, giving her the much craved attention she longed for.
"Uh-huh! And Tails gave me this!" she picked up the Radio box beside her and clicked the button a few times.
It landed on Jazz.
She put it down and returned to her cuddling up next to him, squeezing sweetly tight.
"… I'm not even gonna say it." he shook his head.
"Ohh, do go on~" she giggled as she leaned her head more into him.
"It's too obvious." He shrugged with his other, freer hand.
"Come on~" Amy whined, lifting her chin up to be more 'complainy' about it.
"…Fine, but only this once." He held up a finger, then fibbed by clearing his throat, which made her laugh, and held it up even higher, "Do you…" he then turned the finger to her, winking, "Like Jazz?"
"Ah! Bang!" she moved away and pushed her hands to her chest, as though he had shot a cupid's arrow into it. "I'm hit!"
He chuckled at her antics, enjoying that she played along once he decided to.
"Ha… nothing ever gets old with you, does it?" he lowered the hand to itch the tip of his nose, closing his eyes as he said that rather affectionately.
She looked deeply touched, "Sonic,… that might be one of the nicest things you've ever said to me." she pulled her feet up to her chest and continued to give him an adorable smile.
"Huh? Really?" He looked to her, a bit surprised to hear that, and looked up towards the sky. "…Huh." he then folded his arms and let the bottoms of his feet get put up next to each other to create a kinda 'diamond-sitting' shape. "I always thought, 'You look real pretty, Amy, like a sunset' was the nicest thing I've ever said."
Once he stated that, he couldn't help but open one of his eyes to show how nervous he really was at trying to deliver that, though he had acted through his body-language that it didn't look so much like a big deal… it kinda was to him.
And boy did he lean away when he saw her arms go up, practically leaping like a frog off the altar's step.
"OHHHH, SONNNICC!"
He dodged the hug, "Woah, now, Amy! Don't forget your job!" he jumped back again, flipping in the air as she tried to catch him yet again.
"My job will always and firstmost be you, Sonic- Ohh…" She looked back at the Master Emerald, then to him with cute tears in her eyes. "Sonic… don't make me leave my post…"
He suddenly got a fantastic idea.
"Oh, I'm sorry~" he joked, swaying back a bit, "I didn't realize how 'dedicated' you were to your career." He then flopped a hand up dramatically to his forehead, "Oh, spare me the thought! I couldn't bare to distract you from your big, amazing work… after all, you worked so hard for your big, top position as Guardian of the Echidna treasures, isn't that right, Amy?" He put his hands together as though acting like a woman before up by his mouth to play coy and cheeky.
She twitched, knowing he was baiting her, but also knowing he fully expected her to stay where she was… for Knuckles's sake…
"That's… not fair." she shook her fists down, "Don't try and break me!" she cried out, "This is important! I mean… so are you in my life, b-but-!" as she went along, actually speaking from her Heart, Sonic continued to play like it was all an act.
"Ah! You consider your work more important than each other, Amy? I knew I shouldn't have chased a career-girl!" he kept switching poses and mocking her as he went further down the steps, smirking all the while in his creative flare of storytelling as she continued to try and keep him from leaving.
"Don't go! This isn't funny anymore!" She was softly tearing up, but looking back at the shining Master Emerald every now and then. She took one step down… before pulling it back up, "OhhhHHHHhhh..! I made a commitment!"
"I'm a commitment!" Sonic dramatically called up to her.
"You're my whole world, entirely!" She cried down, as Sonic just snickered to himself.
"You've gotten to the tippty-top, Amy. You don't need me anymore!" he called back, before he heard another whine escape her throat and decided to take his actor's bow and walk back up.
She had fallen to her knees and was dramatically crying with her fists up by her eyes, "WHAAAHAAA-HAAA!"
"Alright, Amy, alright… I wasn't actually going to leave, you know…" He got to the step she was at and put his fists to his hips, smiling sweetly down to her but not falling for her act for a second.
…Then another second…
Until she wasn't stopping in her tears.
"A-… Amy, you okay?" he suddenly broke a little and bent down to check on her, "Uhh…"
When he did, she smirked and her eyes flashed, "GOTCHA AGAIN! SONIC THE-!"
"Hedgehog!"
She had embraced him, smushing him in her 'playful trap' before looking down to see Knuckles stomping down by the ground.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CLEAN THE MASTER EMERALD! NOT MAKE A NEW SUN!" he cried out.
The two looked confused, before realizing… from down by Knuckles's point of view, the rays of the sunset made the Master Emerald look like the sun, and the rays of the Chaos Emeralds were it's bright light extending outward in a ribbon of color…
Sonic looked to Amy, who looked to him and then nodded.
The two shouted down, "SORRY, KNUCKLES!"
He yelled out more annoyances, asking where the darn emeralds have gotten off to, but in all his scoldings, Sonic just snickered to himself as Amy held him closer,… and finally, he opened his mouth to laugh as his head willingly came to rest on her own.
