Surprised no one asked you for an amnesia prompt yet! Since Rememory had Amy without her memories of Sonic, how about Sonic's turn to lose his memories? Whether it's like Rememory where he'd only forget about Amy or just a full-blown amnesia is up to you.
Prompt:
"It's just… This feels familiar, this situation… somehow." Sonic talked to himself out loud, holding the Iblis flame lightly flapping in a floating lamp of sorts.
He placed his finger to his lips in thought, remembering Blaze crying and the flame suddenly appearing as an entity wanting to destroy the fabric of space and time. Blaze claimed to not have known about it but felt she was responsible for it in some way.
…But then…
"Amy…" Sonic turned around, seeing her standing behind him.
"What's wrong?" She tilted her head, waiting.
He felt a bit guilty and finally told her the truth. His eyes arched back, "I just can't… help but feel like this is gonna end badly somehow. Like… If I blow this flame out, I won't remember certain things." he wondered how such a tiny flame could cause so much mass havoc.
"You mean…" she cutely walked up by his side, leaning to see the flame floating on its lamp above his hand. "You're familiar with this flame?"
"…I'm not sure." He closed his eyes and shook his head, turning away from her. "But I gotta blow it out. It's the only way to reverse time back. How far back.. I'm not sure."
"…But…" Amy stepped forward, "You won't forget us, will you, Sonic?" She hopped a little more in front as he scratched the side of his head, showing he wasn't sure if he could answer that honestly. "You… You can't risk losing us!" She bundled her fists together, an odd step forward on her pigeon-toed feet.
"If you do… if you do… how could you even consider it!" her sorrow dragged in her voice, before picking up to betrayal and anger. "I won't let you! I'll blow it out!" She stumbled as she reached for the flame, Sonic lifting it high above her and catching her before she tumbled.
"Amy..!" Sonic held her by the waist, making sure if she squirmed–which she did struggle–that regardless, she wouldn't be able to get the flame. "This is…. this is the only way to set everything back! The world's covered in magma and ashes, Amy! You can't choose us over them."
"Yes I can!" Amy tried to get out of his hold, but his lock on her body was secure. She was able to get her feet under her and pull at his arm, "No,..! No, no, no!" she finally gave up and reached for the flame, wobbling on her tippy-toes. "Why do you have to do it!? Why can't I…" her tears began as she watched the flicker of the flame, the slow dance it made as Sonic held it up high out of her reach, a torch that could possibly extinguish the memory of her only true love.
"If I had to choose between the world… and you…" she slowly dropped her arm, turning to a new desperate attempt at stopping him.
She hesitated, turning around and looking into his eyes, highlighted by the deadly flames glow.
"I would choose-!" she jumped at him, kissing him off-guard as the flame… slipped…
As Sonic stabilized himself, leaning back and eyes widened at her gesture– which she hadn't stepped back from, even now, by the way…– he saw the flame began to slowly fade away as it fell through the empty space between time.
He quickly acted, moving more into Amy's kiss and grabbed the flame falling behind her, it singed his glove as he spun to keep her away from it.
the spin… had the flame extinguish… and the world go dark… as their lips never parted.

Amy cheerfully was enjoying the sunny, spring day. Picking flowers was a necessity in May, no exceptions!
She bobbed her head as she dipped down to pluck some flowers before a gust of wind threw her off her usual cheeriness.
"…Sonic!" her eyes grew wide.
She remembered instantly, it didn't even take a half-second for her body to instinctually start racing after the wind.
She remembered, everything up until Blaze crying.
"H-" She was at a loss, "How could I forget Sonic?!" she felt afraid for a moment then, stunned and worried how she sent days not thinking about him, not wondering what crazy adventure he had gotten himself into lately.
She bolted. The drive in her heart like a gas tank that revved up her breathing and kept her legs full of fuel. A fine-tuned car that started for none other than the one she loved.
"Sonic!" she called out, desperate for his attention and absolutely frantic at having forgotten about him.
'It's impossible, I couldn't have forgotten him!' she told herself as she continued to run. 'Sonic would have slowed by now, why isn't he stopping?'
She came to a halt when her body finally couldn't take in enough oxygen and keep pursuing. Though the heart was willing, her body was starting to lose its adrenaline rush.
She clutched her knees as her shoulders moved up and down in rhytm to her rushed breaths.
'Why didn't he… why didn't he stop for me?' she questioned.
Her ears flicked around, showing not only confusion but also trying to hear which direction he may have taken.
His blue blur was far out of sight now. There was no way to tell by sight alone where he could have gone.
It would take another 3 weeks to track him down, all torturous, all longingly hopeless as she bared the harsh nature of her world to find him.
At last… she found a figure lying on a roof, blue and perfect as her memory seemed to fail her again. 'Was he always this laid back? I feel like he was… why… why is it so hard to remember?' she was growing frustrated with herself, but that emotion came out strong in her voice, causing a bad reception on the other end…
She threw her arms down by her sides, "Sonic The Hedgehog!" she cried out, "Why didn't you stop and say hello to me when I kept calling you?!"
A face turned to look at her, his eyes halfway closed and his expression mostly indifferent. "Hmm?"
"Ah! How rude!" she puffed up her cheek, seeing he didn't seem to care. "I've been trying to find you for weeks!"
"…Yo, you found me." He raised a hand, acknowledging her accomplishment. He then yawned and used the same hand to stick his pinkie finger into his ear in boredom. "Such a loud voice…" he mumbled to himself quietly.
"Is there somethin' you need?" He finally asked, after a moment of silence while Amy's heart broke inside her.
"…I… Sonic… It's me. It's Amy. Amy Rose! You're Amy…" She defeatedly withdrew a little bit. Her head came down, her hands met down in front of her, but her eyes remained to the back of his head.
"Oh?" He looked behind him, shrugging with the same arm. "Never heard of ya."
The nonchalant reply shattered the windows of her eyes.
Even Sonic's eyebrows lifted at the sight of her absolute destruction.
"You… You… That's not funny! Sonic, you're a jerk! Idiot!" she cried, launching her hands up to the sides of her eyes as tears sprayed out and she raced off, sobbing.
"…Was it something I said?" Sonic looked confused at the camera.
Amy continued to race away, crying loudly. 'How… After all these years… how could he forget me?' It was her worse nightmare, she couldn't handle it, her heart was failing her as the engine she once trusted so much began to falter and wane.
As though an old and rusted furance, the lining of her heart began to peel off and she slowly sunk to the ground, tucking her legs up to herself as rain began to fall.
A figure in the rain stood over her, his hands on his hips.
She heard a rustle of muddy grass approach her like footsteps, and tried to peer up through the thin but heavily pouring rain to see the man.
"…It's never wise to be out in rain." The voice stated, offering her his hand as he bent down to her. "Come on, you're crying is upseting the sky."
It was a tender remark, but it was still a direct pirece of pain to her heart.
She nodded and took his hand.
"Where are you from, anyway?" he asked.
She couldn't even bare to look at him.
When she didn't respond or even turn her head to him, he sighed, remaining still a moment before looking up at the storm clouds.
She sneezed then, and he smiled.
"Well, we won't get anywhere by just standing around." He scooped her up bridal style and was amazed at how well she adjusted in his arms. Though, he didn't say anything regarding the strange sensation that he had done this sort of thing before, but he hadn't really saved a damsel in distress. Did this mean he was officially her hero now?
"For a fan, you really put everything you have into seeing me." He meant it as a compliment, "A few weeks, huh?"
He looked to her, but she just clutched her hands around his neck tighter, gritting her teeth.
'How could this have happened? There must be an explaination. Was it Eggman?'
When she didn't respond again, he sighed once more. "You don't seem thrilled about any of this…"
"How can I be happy knowing you've forgotten me?" her voice cracked mid-sentence, too ashamed and worthless to stick up for herself. "If this is a joke, it's not funny. It's.. too cruel. Even for you."
The statement just left Sonic staring at her.
In silence, he decided it best not to push anymore conversation. He wasn't good at it anyway.
Deciding, very conciously, not to be confused- Sonic treked on through the blowing rainstorm. It was a warm rain though, so he didn't mind.
He tried to be a gentlemen and shield her most of the time, but her head was ducked under his anyway, she would get wet everywhere else regardless.
He found a batch of matted foliage and ducked under there to see if any water leaked through.
It was a batch of greenery, but small for a den.
'Eh, it'll have to do.' Sonic looked to Amy, watching water drip off her quills and slide down her cheeks.
Were those rain or tears..?
His eyes softened to her and he looked away.
Taking a breath, he turned back with a heroic smile on his face. "Miss? We're here."
She sniffled, "Where?" her three bangs had fallen over her sad, little pitiful face and Sonic couldn't help but find that rather cute.
"Heh." he felt bad for the girl, wanting to turn her mood around. "A type of briar patch I would imagine." he pointed to the tightly knit torns above the entrance, "But our quills should keep us safe."
"You knew I was a hedgehog?"
"Uhh… I may not have heard you calling from all the wind rushing passed me, but my vision hasn't failed me. Yet, anyway." he winked, trying to be charming.
She turned away again.
"…Ohh." He groaned, upset that for the first time, he couldn't seem to cheer a girl up. "Here." he tried to be polite now, just stick to good manners and set her down in the sheltered cover first. "Watch your head and dress."
Her dress got caught on a twig and before it could tug her, he swiftly loosed it and she continued to crawl inside the den.
She turned around and sneezed again as Sonic sat beside her, 'whoo'ing a gesturing of relief at getting them out of the rain.
He grinned even more now, knowing how contagious a smile can be. "Good thing you're loud, lady. Or I'd have been looking for ya for a while." he rubbed under his nose, finding it a bit embarrassing to say that.
"…You were looking for me?" She turned back to him, before puffing up her cheek in anger again. "Quit acting like we're strangers! Hmph!" she rejected his kind gesture to make her laugh.
He flinched at how cold she was being, "Now, now…" he sweatdropped, "Give a guy a break…"
After a moment, Amy turned to him again, "You… You really, honestly don't remember me?"
Sonic shrugged, "Not a clue!" he beamed.
Amy's heart felt Eggman's robots surround her and fire directly to her core in an execution.
She silently fell back but was pricked by a thorn.
"Ow!"
"Woah! Hang on there…" Sonic reached his hands back for her, helping her stay upright. "You alright?"
"Yeah, I… Ohhh! How can I be alright when you seriously don't remember me!" she reverted back to herself a moment before remembering to be mad again.
"Heh, okay, but I'm not entirely at fault here." He kindly tried to look at her with some smypathy. "It's not like you told me where we met before…"
"Ohhh! We've been friends for years!" she kicked her legs up and down like a mini-tantrum, not wanting to be spiked by the prickly twigs again.
"For years, huh?"
"I know Tails, Knuckles… everyone will be missing you!"
"…Who?"
"W-what?" her mouth dropped a moment, losing all her anger than to replace it with fear. "Tails… Knuckles… You don't remember them either?"
"Not a clue." Sonic shrugged, "But it sounds like a wonderful life." He grinned.
"…No,… don't be carefree about this… this is awful! We have to help you meet your friends!"
"Friends?" Sonic scoffed slightly, turning away from her and putting a hand up by his mouth. 'She's a little nuts…' he told himself, 'But at least she's cute when she worries about me.'
He turned back to her, dedicing to play along. "And what were you and 'my friends' and I doing together? Partying? Up to no good?" he reclined a little, wanting to see how far she'd take this.
"We'd fight Eggman…" she looked to the ground, heartbroken that this was all real.
Sonic's eyes widened a little, "Eggman?"
"You… probably don't remember him either." she brought her legs up to her, holding them close when Sonic smirked.
"How could I forget Eggman?" He laughed, "How could anyone forget him?"
"Waahhh!? You remember Eggman but not me!?" Amy looked hurt, spreading out as she fully turned to him now.
"Haha! You're so dramatic." he pointed at her and continued to chuckle. "No need for the threatics, lady. But it is kinda funny."
She puffed up her cheek again, "Ohhh… you may have lost your memory, but you sure haven't changed!"
"Heheh. So… what was Tails to me, in the past?" he closed one eye, turning playful.
"He.. he's your best friend."
"Tails is a boy?" he looked a little surprised to hear that. "His name sounds a little funny."
"He's got two tails, but his real name is Miles. We just call him Tails cause he prefers his friends to call him that." she wiggled her finger along the dirt, still crushed by this discovery.
"Ohh…" Sonic wondered if such a girl would be able to find her way home after the storm. She looked like she needed some 'special' kind fo help…
"And Knuckles?"
"He.. Well, he was kinda like your rival."
"That sounds fun!" Sonic laughed, "What was he like? A real brawler?"
Amy suddenly realized his tone of voice, "You…" She turned to look at him, "You don't believe me.. Do you?"
He kept his smile.
"And what were you… to me?"
He lowered his head, "Back then? In this, other world?"
She was about to open her mouth and say, 'girlfriend' but he'd never believe her then.
She closed it and looked away.
"Oh? Suddenly turned shy now?" he tried to turn his head to see her. "Why all of a sudden? Were you something important to me?"
He was mocking her… wasn't he?
She ducked her head even more now.
"My name's Amy." she muttered.
"Huh? What was that?" He bent his ear toward her.
"My name…" she twtiched violently.
She lifted her head in rage, "IS AMY ROSE!"
A large 'BONK!' was heard along with a 'PIKO' as she raced out of the thicket.
"Ow! Where'd that come from!?" Sonic was totally taken aback by the random hammer and her fist coming directly down on his head. "My fault for getting to close to a nut job." he grumbled, rubbing his head and sticking it out fo the ticket.
The rain was just a drizzle now.
"Hey, Wait-!" he sped off after her, catching her easily.
"You shouldn't run off on your own like htat. I thought we were having a pleasant conversation?" he continued this teasing, but Amy wouldn't have any of it.
"If you met Tails and Knuckles, you'd know who they were!" she tried to find a way around his mocking, but he just kept speeding in front of her and waving his arms about to taunt her.
"Hehehe, Okay. I believe you." he suddenly turned serious, and stood straight, dropping his hands.
"Y-you do?"
"Sure! Besides, I can't let you run off without someone watching out for you. You may have a cold." 'I can't let her leave like this, someone's bound to be looking for her. Maybe these -Tails and Knuckles- guys are people who know her.'
She suddenly looked relieved and excited, "You mean it?"
Her change in attitude made him smile, "Yeah, I got nothing else to do." He sweatdropped. 'I couldn't let you get into trouble because of me…' "I'll take you home too."
She smiled, "Yay! We're gonna restore you're memory! You'll remember us! Ya-ha!" she jumped around and cheerfully returned to her old self, eyes sparkling and her body full of life.
Her energy made him stop and stare a moment, 'Wow, like 0 to 80.' He whistled, "That sure changed your mood." He was glad she wouldn't be upset while they traveled.
He met Tails first, though Tails also didn't seem to recongize him. Sonic side-commented that he was pretty sure Amy was crazy, and to go along with her till he could find someone who knew her. Tails was kind enough to agree, saying he admired Sonic too, but not to make up crazy stories like this..
However, Tails was surprised how much Amy knew him, and the spookiness of it all made him and Sonic a little more sheepish around her.
They met Knuckles next, who seemed more like a villian than rival to Sonic and Tails.
They defeated him and bonded, high-fiving as Knuckles explained that he knew they stole his emeralds, but Sonic admitted he had no idea what he was talking about.
Amy suggested Eggman which turned out to be true, which continued to spook the three, but Knuckles believed Amy to be a witch of some kind.
Finally, Eggman didn't recongize the whole lot of them but Sonic. "Making friends are we, Sonic?"
"Actually," he looked around at Knuckles and Tails. "Yes." He seemed surprised to admit that, but Eggman looked flabergausted that his long-time enemy was quitting the solo career.
"No matter!" he got ready his 'ingenius' plan to thwart them. "More the merrier!"
The newly formed team defeated him, and Sonic finally gained the trust of Knuckles.
"I've never had friends before!" Tails exclaimed, excited to be apart of something like this. Especially S-so-social…
"I've never been out before!" Knuckles placed his floved-hand over his forehead to block the sun, looking at the beauty of Angel Island from here, then all the world.
"No, no, no! You're all friends! We're all friends! this… you were supposed to remember! Augh! Now what do I do?" She held her head, shaking it in frustration and misery.
The boys looked at each other, then smiled to Amy.
"But we are friends." Tails stated.
"And it's all thanks to you, Amy." Sonic gestured to her, also looking pleased by the days events.
"Heh, maybe you're not so crazy after all." Knuckles smiled, "But still weird, mind you."
Amy looked at the three boys, still broken hearted but nodded in defeat. "You're right… If I can't bring back the time that once was… then…"
She raised her head and nodded, smiling prettily. "Then I can at least restore what was once lost."
The three smiled and cheered. "That's the spirit!"
Later, Sonic pulled her aside, moving his head close to just about touch his forehead to hers, but not really.
His arms folded, night steadily approaching, he asked again, "So… what were you to me? In this other world?"
"I… I wanted to marry you." she finally said, nervously pushing her pointer fingers in on each other.
His face cracked.
He laughed, gripping his belly. "Definitely a good idea not to go with that at the first meeting!"
She blushed, "You really think I'm still crazy?"
"Maybe…" he quieted down and then looked more affectionally towards her, "But a little crazy never hurt anyone." He winked, putting his hands on his hips. "Though, if you are a fortune-teller, I don't know what to think of that one prediction… Still, I owe you a lot." He looked up at the sky and scratched his nose, then smiled and closed his eyes, thinking…
"Thanks, Amy. I appreciate it."
Amy would live in this new furture for a few years before kissing Sonic, and restoring the world's memory back to everyone.
But for a few years? She got to fall in love with him all over again~
