Sonic IRL:
I'll Love You Long after You're Gone, Gone, Deleted.
By: Cutegirlmayra (Yeah, it's happening. It's happening, oh my gosh. Everything's falling apart, what?!)
Rushing right back to Japan, Classic Sonic hangs on the back of a desk, glaring down an official who nervously sweats at the harsh look in his eyes.
"Y-yes, w-well.. bringing back an older form of a character isn't really something we usually would do for Am-"
The harsh glare intensified with a narrowing of his brows, as muzzle touched the arched center and darkness loomed over the room.
"W-well-! I know for certain that in American their Archie comics have been making a new Sonic genesis era comic! I'm sure we could allow her old design to make an appearance?!" He was jittering in his seat, his hands could barely stay put as they trembled and withdrew from the threatening blue hedgehog.
He may be tiny, but he had power over a few matters that no employee dared question…
"Sonic Mania's still in production, maybe we could have a word with them or even talk about the new merchandizing deal with Hello Kitty and find an avenue to re-market her there?!" the poor man looked like he was leaking sweat, as he pulled out a drench napkin from his pocket and patted his drowned face.
Classic Sonic held his glare… before suddenly turning into a sweet and wonderfully happy smile, popping down from hanging on the edge of the table that was too tall for him and bouncing out.
He was so small that he had literally held himself up with just his arm strength alone, and his feet to provide some form of lift off the flat wooden surface below.
Still, it was intimidating enough that this man quickly drooped down in his chair, relieved he survived the encounter with the angry but famous hedgehog, and started frantically pulling out phone after phone, his office's, his personal, his business skype calls, and quickly began to figuratively 'ring in' Sonic's orders.
To allow Rosy to be created and run around was SEGA was fine and dandy, keeping her around would be the hard part…
No one would see value in her, much like the old forgotten characters, however, at least they still cameo'd every now and then.
Classic Sonic wanted more than permission, he wanted her back on screen with him again.
Whether in comics, games, or whatever other media, all he wanted was for her to be seen as alive and well once more.
Maybe it was to confirm that she could come back to him, but mostly, it was for professionals to get the code straight… and not rely on… on…
"How'd it go?" Modern Sonic walked up to Classic, before folding his arms after his wave to get the little guy's attention.
His head was down and he was unusually slow that day.
He studied the floor a little longer, before looking up with a rebellious smirk.
"Heh, that good, huh? Ah, I remember the old days~ Getting my will, what I wanted, when I asked for it. Those were the days." Sonic put his hands down to his hips and looked up, reminiscing about the good ol'days where they would heed to every beck and call he made, just because he was that important.
Not that he wasn't as important now, but just that things have settled down since his glory days.
"I've kinda alerted the other dudes that they won't have to worry about their new 'data' for a while… Not until this is all settled." Sonic meant that in just an informative way, but it hinted at something much greater and deeper being suggested. "So? Think you can wait a little while longer to see how everything plays out?"
Classic Sonic took a deep breath, and then nodded, but looked away, seeming annoyed by the slow pace of his own company.
"Heheh, give them a break. They've got a lot going on lately. What with Toon Sonic now up and running in America, their anxious to see how that goes, and then there's the games that no one even knows about yet! You have to admit, even the movie's taking it's toll. We'll get her out here and jumping around, causing havoc in no time." Sonic cheered him up but also made a funny poke at Amy on that one.
It was true that with another, even a more 'older' version of Amy, that the drama and craziness around the place would definitely increase…
Upon hearing the jab at Amy's character, Classic Sonic looked up, a look of question in his eyes… and slight concern.
"Huh? Oh.. that?" Sonic lost his cheery attitude for a moment and folded his arms, returning to his later demeanor, and held himself in quiet reverence, closing his eyes. "I haven't decided yet." He affirmed, and his mouth tightened to its side into a frown.
"I don't know what to make of her quite yet. I know that she used her Original Powers to satisfy the demands of American Amy and her Boom daughter… but I'm not sure why she would have kept that from us for so long." He opened his eyes and turned his head away, trying to make sense of why she wouldn't have just done that in the first place?
Classic Sonic narrowed his eyes, a little judgingly.
"I don't think she was being selfish." Sonic concluded, and looked a little sadder at that comment before dropping his hands down to his sides. "I think she was just afraid of how'd we react if she could bring her back. And look how that turned out?" He cocked his head to the side, lifting a brow up, showing that they kinda did do what she feared.
He sighed, putting a hand up to his head and scratching his quills up a bit. "I don't know what to do with her… some part of me wants to know more answers,… but another part of me wants to just accept that what happened, had happened, and move on to bringing Rosy back to reality."
Classic Sonic seemed to not want to accept that, not giving her the 'benefit of the doubt' and folded his arms, thinking it more of her wanting him to herself, and not wanting to jeopardize what her last Glitch worked so hard for.
Sonic glared at the suggestion, "Alright, look! I might feel guilty about not knowing fully if Amy was deceiving or just didn't think about it, but I definitely won't have you accusing her of-!"
Classic Sonic cut him off with a game noise, sticking his hand out as if he didn't want to discuss it further.
He then seemed to portray asking if Sonic still had feelings for Modern Amy, or if the code suggested that he really truly loved Rosy instead.
The question made Sonic flinch back a moment, not sure how to answer that.
Code was life… if it DID dictate that…
He shook his head, "Rosy is Amy." He stated, but not as clearly or as factually as he wished he could…
Classic Sonic rasied an eyebrow, and then smirked.
He suggested the possibility of Amy making him believe that to obey code, but now that Rosy would be revived, would he still be able to fall for her as he was trying to allow himself to do before?
The question was almost like a haunting realization that Sonic didn't want to think of!
Classic Sonic continued by gesturing with his hands a table of events.
If that theory was true,… then Sonics all around the world would lose their interests in there Amys… and start longing for the classic era again.
He also motioned that Sonic, the second he had helped break him of his 'delusional grief'… he didn't seem to happy at motioning that… that he had looked and spoken to Amy much harsher than normal, and even looked at her as just data to be extracted to bring Rosy back.
If all of this pointed to the data suggesting that Rosy is considered a 'separate identity' from Modern Amy's remake, then he would have to get his code completely changed or rewritten to give in to Amy's demands of being loved.
He then folded his arms, done with his theory, and wondering what his future self would conclude after all that logic.
"…." Sonic stared at the ground, no words to counter, and nothing to say he wasn't fooled by Amy…
Classic Sonic then spelled out a word in the air.
MANIPULATED
"Stop."
Sonic rose his head and gave a strict and clear warning.
Classic Sonic just stared a moment back, not afraid, but realizing the pitiful truth of what that would mean…
Did Amy know she wasn't Rosy? That her broken code was only memory files, similar to how American Amy was remade? Just a booted up old save file that hadn't been touched in years, and was corrupted on many fronts.
Sonic squeezed his eyes shut, and clenched his fist, turning his head away from Classic Sonic. "It can't be…she wouldn't do that! She…"
His faith was starting to falter, though his whole heart wanted to believe that Amy was Rosy remade from Rosy's old coding.
"It triggered it. I know it did. She shifted into Rosy and everything! If I can summon you, then that means your code is within me! I have to trust her, Genesis. I have to believe that this was all an innocent miracle that she didn't know could happen! I want to believe her!"
Sonic leaned forward, his words definitely more clear on how he felt now.
With that resolve, Classic Sonic raised his shoulders up, taking a big breath of air, and then let them bounce down to let it all go, shaking his head.
Well, he clearly just wanted Rosy back, and could care less about any 'redesign' character replacement for her.
Sonic narrowed his eyes.
Classic Sonic seemed to flick out in a smooth gesture his finger upside down to Sonic, palm facing up, and stating that he may believe what he wills, but as for Genesis, he'll believe that Rosy is his love interest, and no one else will do the job justice but her.
Code or no code. He defied it once for her, he would do a likewise action again.
He raced off, as Sonic pondered his little selves resolve…
If he hadn't had accepted his old data back… Classic wouldn't be thinking or feeling the way he is right now.
He may not have even cared about her existence returning.
But because the code WAS back,… it changed everything.
Sonic was faced with a hard decision to make, and he lowered his head to ruffle his hands through his head's quills, and then straighten up and get back to work filming.
The new game was coming out for himself, and more than anything, he didn't want to be thinking of his 'off-screen' life while going through this apocalyptic scene.
-AMERICA! :D-
Employees were all gathered around, the ones that believed in or who loved Sonic as a fan sometime in their life, as the Boom characters and Modern characters all held their places.
"I'm choosing Knuckles!" A man quickly ran to a controller, this one special in that Dr. Hope's company invented it.
It was a way for man to interact with virtual artificial life, considering it was in their data to be controlled by a player and to interact in games, they also had code within a game to turn to the screen and even ask players to hurry up! Pick up the pace! Too slow! And these all helped create her system for Employees to interact with that code and allow them to play the characters in real time.
Omochao took the volleyball court that was virtually set up for the employees breaks, and lunchtime had never been more exciting!
"Are you players ready? Grab a controller linked virtually to a character!"
"Boom Amy and Knuckles Vs. Modern Sonic and Amy!"
"We're gonna destroy you!"
"Not in a million years, Ted!"
"In a million years, I'll still be gloating, Jen!"
"Ah!"
"Those are fighting words! Come on, Jen! Let's clobber them!"
The employees were riled up, as the characters could feel each shift from the controllers, each light touch on the buttons, and it thrilled them to no end to begin doing what they were naturally born to do.
Play.
"You ready, mom?" Boom Amy raised her hammer up, as American Amy held her hammer to her shoulder, and smiled.
"Time to teach the rookie how it's done."
"You've got this son!" Modern Knuckles called out, though he was still trying to figure out how to improve his own muscular structure to look half that good…
Not realizing that what Boom Knuckles had in muscles were traded for brain power…
Boom Knuckles turned around, wearing a jersey that read, 'I have the greatest dad' and gave him a thumbs up.
"That's my boy.." Knuckles sniffed and wiped his nose on his glove, tearing up a bit before patting Tails on the side.
Tails just rolled his eyes, and double looked to see Boom Tails staring… before straightening up and jolting, looking scared for being ratted out.
He smiled kindly, and took on a gentler look before rubbing Boom Tails's head and then pulling him close for a side-hug. "Yeah, they're our boys." He praised in love, which had Boom Tails smile nervously, but clearly all he wanted was a confirmation that Modern Tails approved of him.
Sitting on the sidelines, however, was one grumpy Boom Sonic.
He had his head lowered down to where his shoulders looked high up, a bit pouty face on, narrowed eyes, and clearly upset.
His arms were folded and his legs Indian style as he watched the game from a counter.
A few employees laughed, seeing him, and one commented to the others, turning to look at him.
"He's so upset he can't play!"
"Nah, he's just upset no one picked him for the first round!" another responded.
Still, Boom Sonic just hmph'd and turned flicked his mouth to the side and back, clearly not liking how his old man gets to play, but he has to sit idly to the side while his controller stood to the side, the transparent virtual line to his back a light faded blue upon the cabinets and counters below them.
"All players, Omochao will now begin the countdown!" Omochao cutely stated, and then started a virtual clock. "Remember! You can use their specials when the controller lines turn a brilliant yellow! It's called a Super Move!"
The timer than turned to a 'START' and the volley ball appeared on Boom Amy's side of the court.
"Got it!" Boom Amy felt her player hit the 'A' button, and she threw the ball up. "Get ready to taste my hammer!"
The player moved her up and she leaped, before spiking the ball with her hammer.
The force sent a pink wave of power along the volley ball, showing that she had hit it, before Sonic dashed and his player saw the ball have a circle of blue around it.
He clicked the 'A' button, and Sonic was able to save it from hitting their side of the court!
"Phew! Nothing to worry about." Sonic gave a relaxing tone to his line, and watched Amy race awkwardly to get it.
"H-hey, steady yourself out, dude!" Amy was being played by a employee who wasn't very good at games, but sure did love the idea of controlling virtually real characters!
"Amy!" Sonic cried out, seeing the ball coming down. "You'll miss your hit!"
"A! Dude, click A!" Amy felt herself jump and miss, before finally spiking it back, but the force was very little, and so the volley ball moved slowly back.
The crowd 'aww'd in disappointment as Boom Knuckles bounced it high up.
"You're claim to fame, Amy!" He cried out, as Boom Amy leaped up, flipping in air as she did so.
"Flower power!" she cried out, and blasted it back on the other side.
"Hit! Game point!" Omochao sounded off, as Modern Sonic and Amy sighed in disappointment, before Sonic turned around to give a thumbs up to his player.
"Nice save though! We'll get it next time." He encouraged. "But let's keep those reflexes faster! It'll be easier if you hold the 'A' button while going for the jump. If you hold it and then click, I'll spin dash the ball to propel it more towards their side."
"Hey, neat!" Ted shouted out, "I've never had a character give me tips on real-time action! This is awesome!"
"I've never actually heard a player call me awesome! I've only just assumed that that's what that face was. But… heh, most of the time, I'm not facing you, so~" Sonic shrugged.
"Huh? I thought you filmed most of your scenes..?"
"Cutscenes… I race along for beta testers, but the trillions of copies of my game? I don't get to live all those moments, duh!" He moved a leg back to bend behind his other, and put his arms over his head and behind, relaxing and waiting for the 'Okays' from the other players to start round 2. "Dude, click 'Okay'! I'm dying of boredom over here!"
"O-oh, right. Sorry, Sonic!"
"No problem, Ted!"
"Woah, dude! Sonic just totally said my name!"
"And you totally just said mine!"
"This is awesome!"
"Dreams really do come true." Sonic joked.
"Round 2! Let's begin!"
Once again, the rounds kept going by pretty quickly, and although they made a good run, even the Employee who wasn't very good at games getting the hang of it, it still didn't mean they were any closer to winning against the Boom team.
"Final round!"
"Get it, Amy!"
"I swear, if you keep rocking me side to side, I'll-!"
The employee nervously pushed up, and she jumped.
"Finally!"
He looked up to see he had gotten some praise, and his glasses lowered slightly by the motion.
He quickly pressed 'A' when he saw the Red Wave Ball, indicating that Knuckles had spiked it, and it shot back another Pink Wave Ball towards him.
"Woah!" Knuckles pushed it up and away from him quickly. "Phew, great job me! Or… uh, great job, you!" he turned back to his player, who giggled.
Two girls vs. two boys, and the chicks were winning!
"Okay, Jen! Get'em!" Her friend, who was controlling Boom Knuckles, called out.
"I'm on it!" Jen responded, focusing with a huge grin on her face at where the ball was coming.
"Come on… Come on…" Boom Amy moved back, before her line from her physical controller and her virtual back lit up quickly down the line into a yellow streak.
"Oh my gosh! Jen! Use your Super Move! Use it, use it, use it!" her friend flipped out, and starting jumping up and down, fanning her hand excitedly at her.
"Uh,.. uh-uh… okay!" Jen panicked a little, before remembering how to activate the rare opportunity and quickly looked up from her controller to see what was happening.
Boom Amy shot out her enerbeam to lasso the ball, and spin it around her, "You want it that bad? Come and get it!" she then swung it once more with real 'umph' and jumped up to follow it through with a nice hit.
The force was rapid and strong, as it knocked Sonic down and confused him, leaving only Modern Amy to save the ball before it hit their side!
'I.. I can't do a move like that… All my Super Move does is stun them for a moment..' she thought, as she allowed herself to be moved by the controller.
"What do I do, what do I do, what do I do!?" The boy was frantically asking Amy for help on how to hit it back, but Amy was so lost in her thoughts of inadequacy that she remained silent.
"Uh, uh.. miss Amy!?"
"There's the point! This game goes to… Team Boom!"
"Alright!" the two jumped up and high-fived each other.
Sonic did his defeat action, shrugging and shaking his head, "Wasn't my 'A' game." He winked to the audience at the pun he made, as they laughed from the controller joke.
Ted face-palmed, but still laughed and had a great time.
Amy disconnected her controller and didn't even bother with her defeat action as the crowd formed around Boom Amy and Knuckles.
"Wow! Boom is great!"
"Yeah, I love that new move you used, Amy!"
"Ah! This Amy's so cool! She can defend herself and everything!"
"She's no damsel in distress anymore!"
"Pfft, was I ever?" Boom Amy boasted, as the crowd all laughed, but Modern Amy was deeply offended by that comment.
She leaned back in shock and drooped her arms down, before falling to the ground and enacting her defeat action. "No fair!" she cried out, putting her hands up to her eyes and acting out a cry-scene.
Later… Sonic went looking for Amy, noticing she had been missing for a while and found her ducked down behind the back of SEGA's large green trash section.
"Woah! I wouldn't imagine you sitting in the reekiest joint on the whole plot!" Sonic plugged his nose, bending down to see her hugging her knees, looking distraught.
"Go away." She looked away, "I want to willow away in a place where I belong."
Her statement made Sonic frown with a look of unpleasant disfavor for that line.
"Not really funny, Amy." He didn't like her calling herself trash.
He squeezed behind the old dirt stuffed, tin trash-heap and side scooted himself over closer to her.
He then leaned back against the cold wall of building behind him and looked up, seeing the faint light and blue sky above him.
Amy hugged her knees tighter, still looking away.
"You know, you've never taking losing so hard before." He looked back to her, his head still up towards the sky. "Haha! You've never been much of a sore loser before either!" he kid.
"…The player wasn't the best too…" she defended slightly.
"Yeah… that's true. But let's not place all blame on human error, okay?" He winked, showing that you could totally justify that.
She smiled to him, before looking down sad again.
She scooted up closer to him, "They said Boom Amy was cooler than me." She admitted, and turned her face away again.
Sonic again made a face, before thinking about what was the deeper issue here.
…Nope. Couldn't think of it.
So he went on to try and explore more of what her real issue was.
"Well, she is new, Amy. So she'll be getting a lot of attention with her growing popularity from now on." He beamed, leaning back more and letting a foot bend on the green slate of tin and keep him up.
He put his hands behind his head and just kinda bobbed his body up and down with his leg, keeping himself moving, knowing that hedgehog… he just couldn't stay still for too long.
"…But I was new… for a while… and no one treated me like that." She continued to dig her head deeper down and out of view.
Sonic stopped bouncing to look up a moment.
"Even the other characters say she's more active than me… and more agile, and graceful… more considerate and funny… I feel like a misfit again…"
"…."
"When I came around… no one gave me much attention… not like that.."
Sonic turned to face her, seeing the real issue arise.
"You think you're second rate compared to a new Amy? Or do you think you're second rate compared to an old Amy?"
She twitched.
"Thought so." He nodded his head, squinting his eyes at her reaction and knowing that his conclusion was right.
He sighed and leaned up, moving a arm as much as he could onto his bended knee, feeling a little uneasy in a tight space now, having been in this spot too long for his tastes.
"You know you're Amy. I know you're Amy. Just because she can do Super Moves with new abilities doesn't make her any better than who she was based off, Amy." He looked back at her, as he saw her ears slightly perk up.
He smiled, and continued, looking down and closing his eyes.
I'll love you long after you're gone
"Heh, even when if you were ever to fade away as just one of many other Amys, Amy…"
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
"Even if the Toys"R"Us kids didn't know who you were."
He looked to her.
She looked up, peeking out from her arms at him, still slightly curled up.
"…. I'd still like you over her." He smiled.
And I would do it for you, for you.
Amy's eyes started to gloss lightly, as she blinked more rapidly.
Baby, I'm not moving on!
I'll love you long after you're gone.
His smile never failed her.
-Some time later, in Japan-
"Amy! I need your code! Now!"
When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help.
Sonic studied the file, and noticed it wasn't budging. He made a face before the computer's metallic tube came up from the virtual ground.
"ACCESS PREMISSION FOR?"
"Sonic." He stated clearly, "Sonic The Hedgehog." He didn't look very happy…
"ACCESS PREMISSION FOR 'SONIC THE HEDGEHOG' IS DENIED BY-"
"I don't have time for this. Override!"
"SONIC T. HEDGEHOG OVERRIDE, PASSWORD?"
"…Sega Genesis…"
"PREMISSION OVERRIDE BY AUTHROITY OVERRULE. THE FILE TITLED, 'AMY ROSE' IS NOW ACCESSIBLE."
"Good…" Sonic walked up back to the file and jumped up.
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well.
Classic Sonic watched over and hung on the shoulders of each employee as they labored to restore any and all data that they could find on 'Rosy the Rascal' and desperately tried to upgrade and update it with data that could be useful for future projects.
"These documents haven't been touched in years!" Someone stated, "We'll need to go back and log some of this…"
Genesis continued to dash around, jumping onto desks and looking down at the screens, his excitement more in his running and less on his anxious face.
Modern Sonic jumped down to look around Amy's mind room, and quickly walked to the control panel.
It flashed on, and he hovered his hands over it…
It was the first time he ever did an override on one of his friend's files before…
It was like their soul… their mind… he shouldn't be there.
But… he had too.
He knew he had to.
When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help.
American Sonic winked and leaned an arm over to Amy, holding her and resting his head on her crouched over body, which made her giggle at his dramatic sigh when he did so.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.
Before Japanese Sonic took the data out of her, he wondered if he really only saw her as a collection of virtual ones and zeros now… and it saddened him to think that that's what his actions would look like…
He looked down and scanned for Amy, and saw her peeking through the room Genesis was racing around in, a dark room where everyone was working to restore her old self back to virtual existence…
He clentched his teeth, and banged a hand on her consol.
He lowered his head.
Her face is what got him.
That look of fear and unknowing what the future would hold now.
Was everything Classic said, right!?
He didn't want to hurt her… bringing back Rosy would mean that he could, in a way, lose what he had with Amy…
Classic wouldn't fight for it now.
He wouldn't be so motivated if his code really only was triggered by Rosy's data that Amy held..
..!
He quickly thought of Rosy, and realized how doomed his life would be if he, himself, couldn't change his own coding!
Plus, that wasn't an option anyway. Rosy was Classics, they were in the same timeline and like.. that'd be weird, she's 8!
He started typing in overrides into her data, and he saw on the screen how Amy's eyes turned wide.
She knew he was there.
Give me reasons to believe
He gripped the top of her rectangular arch that held the very fabrics of her life.
Leaning over, he looked deeply torn.
If he ripped out the only one thing that kept his code falling for her…
What would she do?
He looked up.
What would become of her?
He thought of American Sonic and how torn he was when he lost his Amy…
Would she glitch if he didn't treat her like he was trying too?
Amy put her hands to her mouth, backing up from the room, terrified.
That you would do the same for me.
He closed his eyes and squinted them shut, turning his head.
Then…
The lights on the screen said,
"COLLECT AND DETELE?"
"…."
"…Sonic… Don't…"
She began to tear up, the video showing a close up on her eyes, looking around, knowing he was in her file… directly linked to her… she would know of his betrayal…
He made an open frown.
Before swipping the board clean and instead, typing in new codes.
"COPY AND PASTE DATA INTO FILE CONJUCTION?"
He clicked enter, as a ring flung up into 0's and 1's and he reached out and grabbed it, walking away.
"DATA COPIED AND SENT. COMPLICATION KNOWN AS 'SONIC RING' SAVED."
And I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I'll love you long after you're gone.
Getting to the room, Amy was long gone, as Sonic saw the cluster of new whiteish, light blue data glow in a cloud in the back of the room.
Classic was marveling at it, before turning around and zipping up to Sonic, outstretching his hand.
Sonic nodded, and held out the ring, giving it to him.
He quickly put the ring into the cluster of data, as it dematerialized and formed and expanded and shrank with the cloud, absorbing the new code and processing it.
Then…
Rosy formed into existence, and started to gently fall from the air.
When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet.
Classic dashed up, grabbing her bridal style, and helping her to her feet as she blinked, and looked around, not sure where she was.
Not a thing will prevent me.
Tell me what you need, what do you need?
Genesis smiled as Rosy turned, disoriented, to look up at him.
Her data recognized the blurry image and her eyes focused the image as her whole face suddenly lit up with joy, and she hugged him, hearts flying everywhere around them.
I surrender honestly.
You've always done the same for me.
Sonic, looking down, lightly formed a fist with his hand, and dared to turn around and look out the door.
Amy was backed against the wall, a hand to her chest, before she noticed his stare and looked startled, before slowly side-stepping, and then running off.
Something stung in his heart at her expression, and something in his code triggered when she fled…
You're my back bone.
You're my cornerstone.
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving.
Almost in a moment of grief, similar to other functions and programming in his old data, he raced after her.
"AMY!"
You're my head start.
You're my rugged heart.
You're the pulse that I've always needed.
Amy turned to see him racing after her.
He skidded to a halt and they stared long and hard at one another.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Amy pursed her lips, holding her head lower.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
His code suddenly sparked to life, it wasn't just reacting to the data he didn't delete, it was reacting…
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Amy's eyes looked sincere as she seemed committed to her next action.
So did Sonic, looking determined to follow through, even if he didn't understand what was happening within himself.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating...
They took off for each other.
For you, for you!
They embraced one another, a feeling of relief and mutual feeling for one another.
Baby, I'm not moving on!
I'll love you long after you're gone!
In America, Amy and Sonic walked out from behind the garbage dump, holding hands, laughing.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Boom Sonic laughed with his team, and took a second to look over his Chilidog in his hand and get a glance at Boom Amy's laughing expression, her leaning over as she sat on a desk, talking to Boom Tails.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
He seemed to smile knowingly at something.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating.
Sonics and Amys around the world are all being a little lovey-dovey too. In the night, all one can see our silhouettes, each in their own respective countries. Sitting under the moon, one couple has Amy's head on his shoulder, his on her head. Another looking over an ocean and running through the shallow end, splashing water at one another before Sonic pulls her around and she stumbles to the water. He laughs but she splashes him to make him shield himself and then tackles into him, they both fall and laugh, even with Sonic freaking out over the shallow water rippling over him. The night is young and there are two Sonic and Amys who are walking down a beautiful road with an amazing view of their land's architecture. Sonic looks to the side and Amy looks to him after admiring the view, and races to catch up to him.
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you.
Classic Sonic leads Rosy up a stairwell and into a room where you can look out a window and walk slightly along the railing to sit and stare at the sky.
Sonic and Amy in Japan hold one another and stand in a field somewhere in their homeland, and then look at each other, and dip their heads to one another.
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
American Amy and Sonic lay on the rooftop, having gone up the stairwell through the building. Amy yawns and turns, rolling to her side and being very close to Sonic.
