NOTE: It is my suggestion that you listen to the songs in this one-shot to fully understand what's going on. They are: "Thoughts Of You" and "Piano Variations on Thoughts Of You" by Dennis Wilson, and "You Still Believe In Me" by the Beach Boys. Should only take about 10 minutes. Enjoy!
She Still Believes In Him
Sonic the Hedgehog entered the front doors of Station Square University around 9:30 in the morning. Fall break was approaching, and he was looking forward to it. But Sonic wasn't his usual self anymore. The once-garrulous and sometimes arrogant hero was now just a battle-hardened shell of himself.
Over the course of more than 200 fights against his arch-nemesis, Dr. Ivo Robotnik, and various other villains, Sonic had endured unspeakable things he was loath to talk about even to his closest friends. He had been assigned a psychologist at the university, one Dr. Fox, to help him through his trauma.
Arriving at his first of two classes for the day, Sonic's thoughts soon drifted to another world, one where he didn't need therapy for his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. It was a place where he didn't have to worry about his friends being in danger, and until recently, a place that never existed.
Only a few months ago, Robotnik collapsed under the weight of his own insane genius, and he ended himself for good. The news was hard in an ironic sense to hear, but at last everyone could begin to he knew it, Sonic's history class was over, and next was math. Here he would find his de facto brother, an orange two-tailed fox named Miles, but commonly known as Tails.
As Sonic plopped into his seat, Tails looked over at him with a sympathetic look on his face. "Going to need the piano hall today?"
The blue hedgehog only nodded. At the suggestion of his therapist, Sonic had taken up playing piano as a way to try and calm his tortured soul. It was one of only two things that helped him. The second one, though he wouldn't openly admit it, was a pink hedgehog by the name of Amy Rose.
They had been together for a little over a year, and while Amy had gone through her own struggles, she had been by Sonic's side every step of the way. Other than Tails, Sonic sought her comfort the most, but in a different sense. Tails noticed the deep thought and smiled a little. "It's her again isn't it?"
Again, only a nod from the blue blur, and the orange fox nodded in recognition. "Then tell her."
Sonic frowned. "How? You know I'm not great with words."
Tails chuckled. "I do, but you play music too, you know. Use that to help you."
Sonic smiled, one of the few times he did so over the last several months. "Thanks, I think I'll try that."
They got to work on their class assignments. Meanwhile, Amy was partnered with Cream, a light brown rabbit and Tails' girlfriend, in their gardening class. Cream looked over at the rose-colored hedgehog, deep in thought. "Amy?"
Amy jumped a bit. "Huh? Oh, sorry Cream."
The rabbit nodded with a smile. "It's Sonic, right?"
Amy sighed. "Yes… I don't know what else I can do to help him. I've been by his side this whole time, but I'm at a loss."
Cream nodded. "Then go to him when he's in the piano hall today."
Amy frowned. "You know he locks the doors so he's not disturbed."
Cream grins. "Tails and I will handle that."
The female hedgehog nods. "Alright then. His therapist believes I can help him, and although I'm not sure how, I'm willing to try."
As if on cue, Dr. Fox came into the gardening area. "Ah, there you are."
Amy and Cream looked over at the fox psychologist, a bit surprised. He sat beside them and sighed. "Amy, I'm glad I found you."
The hedgehog frowned a little. "What is it? Is Sonic okay?"
He nods. "For now, but his is the most difficult case I've ever had. He finally came clean about what he endured in the various times he was captured and imprisoned, but it took a lot of convincing."
Amy felt her heart sink. "What happened to him?"
The psychologist sighed. "The short version is: he was tortured. Physically, mentally, emotionally… He was subjected to various scenarios of you being tortured, violated, even shown false visions of you dating other men."
Amy was shocked. "Violated?"
Dr. Fox nodded. "By that I mean raped."
Amy shook her head, on the verge of tears. "My poor Sonic… What can I do to help him?"
Dr. Fox smiled. "There are times where he can't stop talking about you though. He loves you that much, Amy. I'll ask you one question: What are you willing to do to help him?"
Amy looked at Cream and back at the resident psychologist. "Anything."
Cream spoke up. "Anything? Even going as far as mating?"
Amy gave her a shocked look. "He has my heart and everything else that I can give… but I was hoping to save that for when we got married…"
Dr. Fox nodded. "I know you want to keep your purity, but Sonic needs you more than he'll ever admit."
Amy nods. "I know he does, and I'm willing to help him."
Dr. Fox looks at Cream, and she puts a hand on Amy's shoulder. "Then go to him. You can help him Amy, and I believe Sonic is willing to accept it."
Amy sighs and looks at her phone. "Alright. It's almost time for him to go to the piano hall. Let's make sure one of the doors is unlocked."
The two females and psychologist go their separate ways, and the girls find Tails, who agrees to leave an upstairs door unlocked.
-12:30 PM-
Sonic was headed to the piano hall to enjoy some much-needed peace. To him, this was his solitude. A small group gathered around the main entrance to hear him play. Amy got there a bit too late to listen, but then she remembered the "unlocked" door.
Going upstairs, she finds Tails and Cream waiting. "Thanks guys. I hope this doesn't upset him."
Tails quietly opens the door. "If anyone can help him, it's you."
The female hedgehog goes in and quietly closes the door. Staying in the darkened areas of the piano hall for the time being, she saw Sonic nod to a person just leaving. "Thank you Jimmy."
Sonic began playing the large piano on the stage, and Amy watched his face carefully. At the beginning of their relationship, Amy had introduced Sonic to an artist by the name of Dennis Wilson, drummer of some band called the Beach Boys. In the year 1977, he released an album called Pacific Ocean Blue, and Sonic took to it immediately.
Deep in his soul, he related to the anguish the human had gone through in his own life, and the hero hedgehog decided to learn the piano parts to some of his songs. Then he came across an album by the Beach Boys called Pet Sounds and it blew his mind, but one song on that album stood out to him.
At the moment, Sonic was playing a song called "Piano Variations on Thoughts of You", basically an outtake from the main album Dennis had released. The actual song had lyrics, but this one didn't. Amy watched him play, and the notes tugged at her heart strings. Outside the door, Cream and Tails were listening.
Cream fell to her knees and began crying her eyes out. "Tails… I didn't know his pain went so deep…"
Tails nodded, trying not to cry himself. "Neither did I Cream… neither did I."
The speedster was expressing his feelings through music since he wasn't very eloquent, and those feelings were pain, hurt, and sorrow. He played for about three minutes and then paused after finishing the song, sniffing the air. Was she here?
He shook his head, believing his nose was tricking him. Taking a short breath, he resumed playing the piano, this time playing "Thoughts of You" itself. While he played, he sang the lyrics. His vocals were raspy, but it helped express what he was really going through.
"The sunshine blinded me this morning, love. Like the sunshine, love comes and goes again. I love you… I love you… The sea air is flowing through my room again… like the thoughts of you fill my heart with joy again… I'm sorry…. I miss you…."
Sonic played for a few seconds, then the tone changed. It became more intense, and Sonic was playing the piano keys like his life depended on it. Amy shook her head, wiping a tear as it rolled down her cheek. The rose-pink female slowly and quietly made her way to the front row, knowing she was risking Sonic seeing her.
"All things that live one day must die, you know. Even love and the things we hold close… Look at love, look at love, look at love… Look what we've done…"
Sonic's voice broke on the last word, and after taking a breath, he sang the last few lyrics.
"Loneliness… is a very special place. To forget is something that I've never done… Silently, silently you touch my face…"
The blue blur played another twenty seconds and finished the song. As he did, he lifted his head, sniffing the air. Amy sat down and froze as Sonic's emerald green eyes made contact with her jade green ones. A brief smile flickered across his face, and he cracked his knuckles.
Amy sighed. "Sonic… Dr. Fox asked me to come here after explaining to me what you'd been going through. I'm willing to help you, but only if you're willing to accept it from me."
For his reply, Sonic motioned her over, and the female stood about three feet away from the male one. Turning back to the piano, Sonic began singing "You Still Believe In Me" from the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album, as he believed it would best express his feelings.
"I know perfectly well I'm not where I should be…. I've been very aware you've been patient with me. Every time we break up, you bring back your love to me, and after all I've done to you, how can it be you still believe in me?"
Amy felt herself saying "I still believe in you" during the brief chorus. But it was during the second verse where she saw the cracks in Sonic's armor. Tears fell from his eyes as he sang, and it was all Amy could do to prevent herself from joining him.
"I try hard to be more what you want me to be, but I can't help how I act when you're not here with me…. I try hard to be strong, but sometimes I fail myself, and after all I've promised you, so faithfully you still believe in me…"
Despite the lead vocals normally being well out of his singing range, Sonic nailed the notes and Amy felt her heart soar as Sonic reached the highest notes at the end of the song. She knew for certain that she alone was the one who could heal him completely.
"I wanna cry…"
He repeated that pattern in his normal singing range, and after a few more repetitions of the ending notes, Sonic finished playing, then turned to his pink girlfriend. "Does that answer your question?"
Amy nodded, wiping away a few stray tears. "It does, and I understand why you couldn't tell me before."
Sonic nodded slowly. "We both know I'm not great with words, so I decided to tell you using music."
She smiled and proceeded to sit on his lap. "I need to know something, and use your words, although I'm almost certain I know the answer already… How much do you love me, Sonic?"
Sonic brought Amy close to him and kissed her before whispering his reply. "More than life itself."
Amy was stunned, and Sonic continued. "I have endured unspeakable and unthinkable things to keep you safe… You have no idea how hard I've fought to keep you from being harmed, nor how hard I'd fight to save you, even if it cost me my own life."
Upstairs, Cream and Tails were watching. The rabbit looked at her fox boyfriend. "What is she doing?"
Tails smiled a little. "She still believes in him despite his struggles."
At the piano, Amy went to talk, but Sonic gently placed a finger on her lips. "I'm not done."
Amy nodded, and he continued again. "I don't know how I'm telling you now, but I literally can't be me without you… You gave me peace during a lifetime of war, and even though our fighting against Robotnik is over, my soul needs you by my side. No one else will do, Amy. You alone are able to calm me when no one else can."
Amy lifts Sonic's head so their eyes meet, and she softly wipes the tears from his bloodshot, weary eyes. "Sonic… I had no idea how much you were suffering, even after your therapist told me what you told him… My poor hero, what can I do to help you?"
Sonic rubbed noses with Amy, making her blush despite the situation they currently found themselves in. "Stay by my side, Amy."
Amy nods. "I will Sonic, especially now that I know how important I am to you."
The cerulean hedgehog looked up again at his sakura lover, and he smiled briefly. "I'd die for you Amy. I'd sacrifice all of me if it meant you were okay."
Amy finally breaks and the two hedgehogs cry on each other for about ten minutes. Finally Sonic asks Amy how she got into the piano hall if the doors were locked. Amy smiled. "Tails and Cream were willing to help."
Sonic nods. "I'll have to thank them later. Now, I know you have another class in about five minutes, so go on. I'll see you later."
Amy kisses Sonic and hops off his lap. "Yes you will. I love you Sonic."
He grins. "I love you too Amy."
Sonic continues playing the piano as Amy heads to her next class, meeting Tails as she exits the large room. "Where's Cream?"
Tails nodded behind him. "She had to get to her next class. How's Sonic?"
She related their conversation to the orange fox, who was stunned to hear about what Sonic was truly going through. "I knew it was bad, but I didn't think it was that bad."
Amy nods. "I think Cream and Dr. Fox are right… I may have to mate with him to fully heal him. I explained to them that I had hoped to wait until we got married, but…"
She trails off, and Tails nods. "If he cares that much about you, then you should probably show him how deep your own feelings go."
Amy nods, feeling a determination rising inside her. "Then that's what I'll do… For him, and only him."
NOTE: Lemon time! My first one in nearly six years, but the rules are still the same. If you are not 18 DO NOT READ THIS PART. Skip to where the lemon is over.
-That night-
Amy made her way to Sonic's house around 8 PM. The moon was full, and it gave her enough light to see where she was going. Knocking on the door, Amy found it unlocked and let herself inside, locking the door behind her. "Sonic?"
The pink hedgehog made her way toward him, following his scent as she searched for the male hedgehog. She found him in his room, which overlooked the ocean, leaning against the balcony rail. His ears twitched as she approached. "I was hoping you'd come by."
Amy joined him leaning on the rail. "I said you would see me again… I was thinking about our conversation today… Did you mean it?"
He nodded. "Every word. Why?"
Amy smiled a little as she looked out over the ocean, with the city skyline just barely visible farther down the shore. "I spoke with Tails after we talked, and he agreed with your therapist and Cream. They all believe I should do anything I can to help you… and I agree with them."
Sonic gave her a brief smile. "Thank you, but you've already given me your heart, and I treasure that more than anything in the world."
Amy blushed and laid her head on his left shoulder as the wind stirred a little. "There is yet one thing I have to give you, and I'm sure you know what it is."
Sonic blushes a little, though he tries not to show it. "I do, but I couldn't take that, especially since you want to wait until marriage."
Amy holds Sonic's left hand in both of hers, prompting him to look into her jade green eyes. "You've sacrificed so much for so many people for so long, and for me most of all… If doing this will help you, then I'm willing to give it to you."
The blue blur was stunned. "You're serious?"
The pink female nodded. "You're the only one I'd do this for Sonic, so if you're willing, then so am I."
Sonic leaned in and kissed her, instinctively placing his hands on her hips. Amy wrapped her arms around his back, deepening the kiss so their tongues met. Both hedgehogs began moaning, and Sonic started massaging Amy's hips. Amy pressed herself against him, her tail wagging and her hormones beginning to race.
The kiss breaks and Sonic carries Amy into his room, laying her on his bed. It wasn't huge, but it was comfortable, and Sonic laid down beside her. "Are you sure about this? There's no going back if we do."
Amy nodded. "I know, but I care more about you than I do about keeping my purity. I'm never leaving you, and I know you'll never leave me."
The two hedgehogs got closer and Sonic gave her a breathy reply. "Never again."
Amy pulled Sonic to her and they kissed again, first with lips only, and then their tongues got involved a second time. Sonic gave a low moan and Amy reciprocated, taking handfuls of his quills. Sonic begins to purr and rub Amy's back, making her moan and kiss Sonic more deeply. The pink hedgehog starts to rub the blue one's chest and belly, relishing the muscles formed over many long years of fighting Robotnik.
Amy gently started pulling on Sonic's shirt, asking him to remove it. Sonic obliged her and helped Amy take his shirt off so she had better access, making Amy blush. "Wow… It's gotta be the moonlight, because you look hotter than normal."
Sonic grinned. "Thanks Amy, but you're a little overdressed."
Amy giggles and turns around so her back is to her boyfriend. "Care to do the honors?"
Sonic nodded, sat up, and helped Amy take off her red shirt. "You're not wearing a bra?"
Amy shook her head and turned around, covering her breasts. "Not this time. I decided not to just in case we wound up mating tonight."
Sonic nodded and Amy lowered her arms, revealing just how large her breasts really were. His emerald green eyes widened as he looked over his topless girlfriend. "They're… They're huge. No wonder you prefer sports bras."
Amy nodded, a blush on her cheeks. "They're the only ones that give me the support I need."
They leaned in for a kiss, and Sonic began lightly nibbling Amy's neck. This made her pheromones release, and she held Sonic to her. "Oohh…"
She felt Sonic's hands on her bare back, slowly traveling toward her breasts. "Go ahead Sonic. I trust you."
Sonic nods and places his hands on Amy's ample breasts, giving them light squeezes and kneading them gently. Amy gasped and moaned into Sonic's ears. "Ah! Ohhh Sonikku…"
The blue hedgehog grinned. There it was, the pet name Amy specifically chose for him, and only used when they were alone. Amy nuzzled Sonic and began lightly biting his neck, making him visibly shiver. "Amy? What are you doing?"
Amy purred to him. "Marking you so everyone knows you're mine. I expect one in return."
Sonic nodded and let Amy finish marking him before he did the same to her, tickling his fangs along her neck. Amy shivered and let Sonic begin to rub her dark pink nipples, which he happily did. They quickly hardened under his touch, and Amy began panting. "Sonic… my love… more."
Sonic laid Amy on her back and started licking her left nipple, rubbing the right one with his left hand. He grinned when Amy began writhing as her pleasure rose. "Oh yes! Mmm! Please Sonic, go lower."
The blue blur switched nipples for a few minutes before unzipping her pink skirt and pulling it off. "No panties either? Bold Amy… very bold."
Amy blushed darkly. "I wanted as little as possible to be between us."
They kissed yet again and Amy inhaled deeply of Sonic's strong odor. "Mmm there it is… That's my Sonic's smell."
Sonic kissed his way from Amy's large breasts down her flat stomach and to her waiting flower, grinning as his actions made her moan loudly. There was already a puddle between her legs, and Amy puts a hand on Sonic's arm. "Sonic? Now you're overdressed."
He grinned and gave Amy a naughty look. "Well, so I am. How about you fix that."
She crawled in a sexy manner to her lover and made quick work of undressing him. Amy wagged her tail in anticipation as Sonic's massive member stared her in the face. She teased it a bit with her fingers before wrapping her hand around it and stroking it a little. "Mmmm… Get in here stud. Let's get that in my mouth."
Sonic obeyed immediately, and his 19 year old girlfriend hopped on top of him, getting his abs soaked with her juices. Without hesitation she grasped his appendage and sucked on the tip before bobbing her head along his entire length.
Sonic moaned and closed his eyes in pleasure. "Yesss Ames…"
Hearing him moan her pet name sent Amy's hormones into overdrive and she began humping his abs. "Mmmm….."
The hero hedgehog proceeded to bury his face deep in Amy's womanhood and lick inside it furiously, like he needed it to survive. His hands found Amy's nipples and began squeezing and pulling them.
Amy's eyes shot wide open and she lifted her head. "AHH! Sonikku yes! Eat it up my love!"
She resumed sucking him off, trying desperately to match his enthusiasm. Sonic's voice got louder. "Oh Amy! Aw yeah!"
The pink hedgehog found Sonic's fuzzy testicles and played with them, deep throating his whole shaft as fast as she could. He began squirming as Amy's tongue snaked around his girth, and Sonic's teeth found Amy's clitoris. Gently biting on it, Sonic squeezed Amy's nipples and inhaled sharply.
Amy climaxed immediately, squeezing Sonic's manhood in the process. "MMMMMM!"
The pink hedgehog's inadvertent squeezing sent Sonic over the edge, and he erupted in his own climax. "Ohhh Amy…"
Amy greedily sucked up all of his seed like she was a vacuum, and after swallowing his huge load, turned back to her cobalt crush. "That… That was incredible Sonikku… you taste really good by the way."
Sonic chuckled. "Yeah it was… wow… you taste really good too Ames."
The hedgehog couple took a few minutes to recover, and Amy mounted Sonic. "Ready my love?"
Sonic hesitated. "Are you sure Ames? You could get pregnant, and you'll never be a virgin again."
Amy leaned down and kissed him, purring in a sexy voice. "I wouldn't mind you getting me pregnant Sonic. If I'm being honest, I'm looking forward to it happening one day. But even if you ever stop believing in yourself…"
She kissed him again. "... I still believe in you. I always have, and I always will."
Sonic nodded, feeling like his protective shell was finally starting to come down. "Okay Amy. I trust you."
Amy licks Sonic's neck, gets into position, and slowly lowers herself onto Sonic's meat rocket. "Oohh it's so big… So thick…"
As she got lower, Sonic winced from her tightness. "Geez you're tight Amy."
Amy reached her barrier and paused. Sonic held her hips. "Last chance."
For a reply, Amy finished lowering herself, wincing as she gave Sonic her virginity. The pink and blue hedgehogs held themselves in place for a few seconds before Amy began riding her hero, moaning loudly. "Oh Sonic! I love you!"
Sonic gently began thrusting up as Amy came down, resulting in deep penetration reaching almost to her womb. "I love you too Amy! You're so hot and tight!"
Amy grinned and gasped as one of her movements allowed her womb and Sonic's shaft to meet. "Yes! Deeper! Ooohhh Sonikku! So hard and thick!"
She sped up and guided Sonic's hands to her breasts, then she dug her fingers into his shoulders and rode him for all she was worth. Sonic obliged her, lifting his head to kiss his pink counterpart while massaging her mounds. "MMmm!"
Amy moaned and broke the kiss as her second climax quickly approached. "SONIC! I'M CUMMING!"
She looked down as Sonic grunted his reply. "Me too Amy! I'm getting close!"
Amy kissed Sonic again and then tossed her head back, screaming loudly and spilling her juices onto Sonic's abdomen. "AAAHH SONIKKU! Oh yes my love!"
As if their bodies were fully in sync, Sonic erupted when she did, sending a thick current deep inside his girlfriend. "Ahhh Amy! Oh Ames…"
Amy reveled in being filled for the first time, and she laid on top of her boyfriend, panting and sweating a little. "Oh my dear Sonic… So full…"
Sonic rubbed her back, making her purr. "Glad you enjoyed it."
Amy nodded. "Absolutely, but we're not done yet."
Sonic rolled over so he was on top, and he gave Amy's neck, shoulders, breasts, and nipples light kisses and licks. Amy moaned loudly, bumping her hips against Sonic's groin. "Sonikku… fill me again."
The speedster nodded and began thrusting deep into his lovely pink lover, making her arch her back in pleasure. "YES! Just like that Sonic!"
Sonic's testicles hit the outer edges of her womanhood with each thrust, and he manages to grunt a response. "I wish I could describe how your pussy feels Amy! It feels so perfect around me, like I was meant to be there!"
Amy wraps her arms and legs around him, holding him tight and screaming in his ears. "Harder! Faster! Deeper! Fuck me Sonikku! I want you to tear my pussy up! UH! UH! YES!"
Sonic gives it everything he's got left, obeying Amy's requests. "You love that big cock Ames?"
She nods, digging her claws into Sonic's shoulders. "Yes I do! It's so huge! It feels so hard! Cum inside me Sonic! Get me pregnant! GIVE ME YOUR BABIES!"
Sonic leans down and bellows into Amy's ears as he climaxes, flooding Amy's insides one last time. "OH FUCK! AAHHH AMY!"
Amy goes rigid as she orgasms, spraying Sonic's abdomen with her juices. "SONIC! Oh! Oh yes!"
Sonic and Amy finally relax, and he gives her nipples some soft licks, making Amy moan and twitch a little. Panting and soaked like he'd been rained on, Sonic rolled over so Amy was on top, and despite how sweaty she was, managed to stay on top of him. They locked eyes, and Sonic and Amy saw love and sexual satisfaction shining in each pair of green eyes.
Sonic is the first to speak. "Whew… For our first time, that was really good… I think I need to work on my endurance though."
Amy giggles as she gives Sonic's shaft a squeeze with her womanhood. "Endurance or not, I'm going to be in heat in just a few days, so we'll both be getting a LOT more practice. How are you feeling?"
The 22 year old hedgehog hero smiled and kissed the 19 year old's forehead. "I feel like the happiest hedgehog on the planet."
He drifts off to sleep, and Amy nuzzles his chest. "I promise you Sonikku, you'll never suffer like you have been ever again."
She falls asleep, resting comfortably on Sonic's chest and dreaming of the romance they just finished sharing together.
NOTE: Okay, lemon over.
-The next morning-
Amy yawns as Sonic stirs to slap sleepily at his clock when the alarm goes off. He succeeds after four tries, and slowly he opens his eyes. "Morning Ames. How'd you sleep?"
Amy giggles, giving her boyfriend a sweet kiss. "I slept amazingly well. Last night was worth it."
Sonic nods, gently twirling some of Amy's quills in his fingers. "I agree. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I have you to thank for it."
Amy kisses Sonic again and slowly pulls him out of her core. "Oohh… I'd do that every night if we could."
Sonic gives her a sly grin. "Who says we can't? I think we can, and should, if we're up for it, especially if you're going to be in heat soon."
Amy nods and slowly gets out of bed. "Deal. Now, we do still have classes to get to, so let's get cleaned up."
The hedgehog couple shares a shower for the first time and then Sonic carries Amy bridal-style to the university. Tails and Cream arrive at the same time, and as Sonic puts Amy down, the fox smiles. "Morning Sonic and Amy. You two look perkier than normal, especially you Sonic."
The blue blur nods, Amy's mark clearly visible. "Ames and I had a long discussion about our future last night."
Cream gave him a knowing look after seeing Sonic's mark on Amy's neck. "You called her Ames… You've never done that before… Must have been a good discussion."
Amy blushes and puts a hand on her belly. "Well, we decided that for better or worse, we're going to be by each other's side. Sonikku is mine, and I'm his, and we don't share."
Tails chuckles. "Sonikku? Is that your pet name for him or something?"
Amy glares at him. "Yes it is. Got a problem with that?"
Sonic intervenes. "Amy, let him be. He's just now hearing it for the first time."
Tails notices where Amy's hand is located. "Amy, why is your hand on your belly? Pregnant already?"
Sonic shook his head. "We won't know for a while, but if she is, then I'll be here for them both."
The hedgehogs go inside the university, and Tails looks at Cream. "I'm not sure if I want to know what happened last night, but based on their marking each other, I think Amy listened to you and Dr. Fox."
Cream nods and leads Tails inside. "She definitely did, and even though Sonic isn't showing it, Amy's helped him immensely. His heart, his mind, his spirit, everything is finally starting to heal, and that's what we were hoping would happen."
Tails nodded in agreement, and the young couple followed Sonic and Amy to their respective classes, where details were shared by the two hedgehogs about the previous night. Dr. Fox wound up finding Sonic before he headed to the piano hall that day, and Sonic related everything he'd told Tails to him.
As Sonic walked off to the piano hall, he met Amy and they went inside together. Dr. Fox smiled as he headed to his office. "Another future success is finally on the road to recovery. Well done, Amy. I'm glad you listened."
Soon, piano music could be heard, but it was no longer anguished. Instead, it was joyful and enthusiastic, as if Sonic had never been in depression at all. As Sonic played, Amy sat on his lap, and purred in his ears. "How about we go make some more… private music? What do you think, Sonikku?"
Sonic grins. "As long as we don't get in trouble Ames."
Amy giggles. "Just ask Dr. Fox to add it to your therapy."
Sonic chuckled and let Amy lead him to a more private area of the piano hall, making a mental note to ask Dr. Fox to add such activities to his therapy regimen so they would be left alone.
NOTE: Obviously I only own the story. Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Cream are owned by Sega. "You Still Believe In Me" and Pet Sounds owned by the Beach Boys. "Piano Variations on Thoughts of You", "Thoughts of You", and Pacific Ocean Blue owned by the late Dennis Wilson.
