PROMPTS ARE CLOSED INDEFINITELY. Just ironing out these remaining ones while working on my own stories :)b

Prompt:

The Resistance’s base, full of Force’s recruits, were also home to those affected by Eggman’s tyranny and wrath. Not excluding those of the… smaller… variety, unfortunate families also sheltered within the lower sections of the underground bunker, which helped keep them far away from the terrors of the war.

Today, Silver and Blaze were asked to watch the children, while Amy Rose was texting Sonic on her Miles-Electric, hoping to keep in touch with him after so long of being out-of-touch.

In her heart, she used it as an excuse to remind herself that her hope wasn’t for naught. He was alive… and with that renewed hope, she looked up from her chat to see Blaze struggling to keep some kitten children under control.

She figured, out of the charity and goodness of her heart, that the two ‘inexperienced’ travelers might need some help… She was, obviously, spot-on in her accurate deductions of the situation, as both the future hedgehog Silver and the dimensional jumping Blaze–although tag-teaming very well–were unfortunate in their own ways… trying to control a bunch of rambunctious kids when they were really there to help with the war efforts.

But everyone must play their part… so…

The children pounced on one another in light squabbles, tugging on Blaze’s arms and pulling her down to their level, making her back hurt at the jutting motions while the children argued about something trivial. Seems a doll was misplaced in the wrong ‘crib’ which was a makeshift cardboard box with a blanket across it to hold the ‘baby’ they were playing with, a strung together pile of straw that looked more like a limp voodoo sack then a ‘beautiful girl’s doll’.

Silver, not at all experienced with children either, decided to step in and use his powers to have the children fly around in the air for a moment while he spoke with Blaze to the side of him. It caused the conflict to cease and even the boys were unable to get at each other from this height within the open air. “This isn’t working…” He admitted, knowing the solution he had found was incredibly temporary. “They’re so full of energy… and this space is just too small for them.”

Guilt swarmed them both, looking around the dusty old storage unit they were using as a basic ‘daycare’ while the adults were either fighting or supporting in their own ways in the war.

Everyone had to take their turn doing ‘something’, and today, Blaze, Silver, and Amy were tasked with childcare.

“Amy?” Silver finally called over to her, but Blaze just sighed, her tail swishing and twitching at her obvious frustrations and stress that she couldn’t properly articulate. That… and she probably didn’t have the heart to admit she was overwhelmed… This sort of thing wasn’t her speciality in the slightest.

“It’s good for them to move about, but it would be wiser to work on having them seated… actively engaged in…” She looked around to see the place was pretty much trashed, though it already was just a place people stuffed their extra spare tools and supplies in anyway. “Something else.” She tugged on her gloves, which had slipped somewhat from the excessive pulling the children had done, and then rubbed the side of her back, trying to be helpful, but understanding this wasn’t the right way of ‘distracting’ the children.

If they weren’t playing ‘tug-o-war’ with Silver and Blaze’s arms for their attention, they were at each other, which wasn’t good in the slightest when trying to get the children under control but also keeping them happy.

Silver kept his careful eye on them, swaying his hands back and forth to try and ‘lull’ the children but for now, it was just a ‘novel trick’ until they grew bored of that again.

Blaze had already lit a single finger on fire, then all the children tried to snap and cried out in whines when they couldn’t summon their own ‘spark’. She wasn’t going to pass around the flame, so they cried and complained, before fighting amongst each other–as previously stated…

Amy smiled at the two looking so hopeless when it came to the young, rescued children. She knew they were being good sport about the rotations the Resistance set up so their families could rest a bit and be supported during this trying time for all involved. Eggman’s plots were so dastardly, he probably had no comment about the lives he was ruining from his twisted and deviant takeover of major cities and towns alike.

All over the world… this was the scene everyone was forced to face.

She hopped off a storage box, knowing they needed some ‘divine’ intervention, as Amy was known to be quite an angel with children. “I’m sure we can find something to keep their attentions… whhhillleee also not having them out of eye sight.” She pointed a cute finger up at them flying about, enjoying it, but the space was limited and it was clear some of them realized they weren’t ‘flying’ in the directions they wanted to go, and started to resist their ‘air prisons’ by flailing their legs and arms out.

Gasping a bit, Silver swirled his hands as though conjuring a tornado, circling his arms with the notion as the children now were in a ‘lazy airstream’ where they rotated and flew in a circle, hoping to once again keep their attentions from acting out again.

“Digging around might prove to be some good.” Silver nodded, looking to Blaze within his hurried panic to agree speedily with Amy, “I’ll take this shift, why not go help Amy find something for the children to play with?”

“And if all else fails-!” Ever the optimist, Amy winked to Blaze, “We can just build a fort out of these spare parts left behind in this old room! It’s dreary as it is, with one lamp swaying above us like some kind of horror movie… That’s it!” Amy’s glee overcame her comforting speech, bringing her bundled hands up to her cheeks.

“We’ll set up a movie!” She cheered, squeeing as she tapped her feet interchangeably against the dusty ground beneath her in her brilliant excitement over forming a perfect new plan!

Silver and Blaze looked to one another, then to Amy. “A… movie?”

“Don’t tell me you haven’t watched one before!?” Completely in shock, Amy looked up at the children, “I’m sure these little kittens would love to see some real cinema! And nothing with fighting or war, either!” She began to search about, finding a monitor and two speakers.

At first, Amy proposed acting things out, but after texting Sonic, he suggested using a Miles-Electric to connect the monitor and speakers to. Tails would have been proud.

Thankful for that advice, she hooked up another spare Miles-Electric and got the kids watching Phantom of the Opera.

“It’s a little spooky, but it shouldn’t be anything ‘nightmare’ inducing.” She thought about ‘certain scenes’ and decided to ask Silver and Blaze to watch it too, “Just in case.” She blinked and kept her eyes closed as a slight prickle of worry nagged at her musical-loving heart, tilting her head with a sweat drop to reveal her awkward unsureness…

“But it’s a classic! Should be alright, at-at least… That much.” She decided to just let the movie play as she texted Sonic again on her own.

Amy: My brilliant strategist! How’d you know exactly what we needed when we needed it the most?

Sonic: Cute, but flattery won’t win the war against the bundles of joys! Keep at it, Amy. You’re Silver and Blaze’s only hope!

She chuckled at Sonic’s silliness, and blushed slightly at him calling her cute… Or… was he just calling her words cute? E-Either way, s-same thing, right?

Amy: It’s been so long since I’ve seen the Phantom. A beautiful Hedgehog singing a gorgeous song, but tortured all his life for a deformed face… forced to hide his gift and talents, falling for the girl he taught in her sleep…

Sonic: Oh, is that what it’s about? Not an actual ghost..?

Amy was once again thrown for a loop, and sent a meme of Classic Sonic running up a loop-de-loop before slipping and falling down in a circular spin, his chibi-arms and legs spread out in dramatic, old-school animation affect.

Amy: WHHAATT??? You haven’t seen the movie either!?

Sonic: Not in particular. I haven’t seen a movie in years. I am a movie!

Amy rolled her eyes.

Amy: That doesn’t count??? Next time you’re resting here, we’re watching it! Together! No Recruit or Little Other Sonic allowed!

Sonic: Haha, alright. If you say so. But it sounds a bit romantic… I’m not really into sappy kind of movies…

Amy: SAPPY???

She had to put the Miles-Electric down, it was too much, but she heard the ‘ding!’ of another message and quickly picked it up again, unable to resist seeing his messages to her… His replies… it was a reminder that he was alive and well, and she couldn’t help but love that immediate comfort of him texting speedily back to her.

Sonic sent a meme, super outdated, but it was a gif of his old ‘shocked’ face back when he was filmed by the news at Station Square when Chaos was on the loose in the sewers, and G.U.N were mistaking him as Shadow.

It became a meme spread around so long ago… One of the many Adventures the blue blur went on… She found it funny how he didn’t have any other ‘modern’ image but that one.

Sonic: Was I wrong?

Amy: So wrong! It’s embarrassing! We gotta get you cultured…

Sonic: … Wasn’t ‘cultured’ a… inappropriate saying?

She face-palmed herself.

Amy: Okay, Boomer, we’re gonna really need to get you updated on some things… For starters, why is that the only saying you remember!? And furthermore, you were trapped for a couple months, not years!!! There’s no excuse for how out-of-touch you’ve been with the world!

Sonic: … Boomer? Like… Sonic Boomer?

Amy: UGH. Emergency, all forces respond, we have an outdated man over here TAT

Sonic: -_- Stand down emergency, I’m trying to be ‘outdated’ by a woman who thinks I NEED to step into theatres in order to live!

Amy: … You still think Movies are watched in theatres only???

Sonic: I wouldn’t have suggested using the Miles-Electric setup for your movie night if I DIDN’T know you could use the internet Amy.

He sent a ‘rolling eyes’ emoji and she almost felt like crying.

Amy: How have I never known this before? Didn’t we see Chao in Space before!?

Sonic: Oh, yeah! Great movie! I loved the part when-

Her eyes were suddenly pulled from the chat to see everyone debating something odd.

Sonic: … You haven’t messaged back in 0.5 seconds with a paragraph of words I’ll only skim through, yet… What happened? Everything okay?

Amy: You? Worried? Haha! No stress. It seems the children are CONVINCED the Phantom looks like Silver… they’re demanding him to sing.

She photoshopped quickly through the Miles-Electric Silver’s picture she took with the children all pointing at the monitor and him, putting a crudely placed ‘half-mask’ over his eye.

Sonic: Yikes, looks eerily like Infinite…

With that statement… she froze.

Looking at her picture and then Silver, she thought maybe ‘Phantom of the Opera’ wasn’t the thing for the kids…

Before anyone made the connection, she cut that plug–so to speak–and started them on ‘C.A.T.S’ the musical.

Amy: Change of plans, I’m having them watch a new musical now.

Sonic: Oh? Sorry, didn’t mean to ruin the vibe…

Amy: The vibe??? What era are you literally on, anyway?

Sonic: I just asked Little Me if ‘Vibe’ is too old, he just blinked and raised an eyebrow, frowning at me.

Amy: He’s not a reliable source for ‘modern slang’, Sonic…

Sonic sent back a Classic Sonic picture he had taken with a side-eye expression.

Sonic: Got a kid right here who’s also judging me.

Amy: Haha! And for good reason! Aww, he’s like that one Monkey meme!

Sonic: Monkey Meme..?

Amy: Seriously? That one’s old! Come on, Sonic…

Sonic: Monkey Meme or not, I’ve got a war to win. Any investigation reports on Infinite’s weakness..?

Amy: Nothing… Oh no.

Sonic: What? What happened?

Sonic: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3…

Amy: Very funny, I had to stop texting how silly you are with the times to find out Blaze has some ‘strong’ opinions on humans playing as cats…

Sonic: LOL. Send me pics.

Amy: I’ll do you one better…

The video she sent Sonic in secret ended up being edited by him later. They started using her twitching eyebrow to express distrain for the–now recognized as illusions–past villains showing up and joking about things through her reactive expressions while Amy secretly filmed her watching C.A.T.S.

Amy: Do you sing, Sonic?

Sonic: No, why? -I’m lying, but go on?-

Amy: LOL. We should sing Phantom sometime… I miss you.

That last line caught her own feelings off guard, but she didn’t regret it.

He didn’t message back until all the war was over, and the clean-up community was in place…

Finally, after so long, she got a message.

Sonic: Miss Christine DYING of boredom. What are you doing later tongiht?

Sonic: *Tongiht.

Sonic: *Tonggit

Sonic: … That time when the night comes along.

Amy: Softly, gently, night unfurls its splendor?

Sonic: … What?

Amy: Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world.

Sonic: ???

Amy: Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before.

Sonic: I’m missing something here…

Amy: Let your soul take you where you long to be! -super high beautiful note!-

Sonic: Oh, you're quoting the music or something?

Amy: Only then can you belong to me…

Sonic: Creepy.

He sent a meme of Blaze holding up her hand over her eyes to avoid the ‘cringe’ of whatever scene in C.A.T.S they were doing.

Amy: You alone can make my song take flight.

Amy: Help me make the music of the night.

Sonic: Did Silver ever end up caving and singing to those kids..?

He sent a meme of Blaze blinking rapidly for a moment, as though watching something that took her back while watching C.A.T.S that very night he was mentioning.

Amy couldn’t help but laugh, trying not to wheeze while she picked up rubble and put it in a trashbag.

Amy: Yes, actually. His singing was the only thing that made the kids sleep that night. I honestly think he has a hidden talent. Blaze even fell asleep with them!

Sonic: The Phantom of the Meows, for sure.

Amy: It’s over now the music/meows of the night~

Sonic: Hah. So… Music tongiht?

Amy: Hehe, let’s get your thumbs texting ‘Tonight’ right or at least get spell check to save you first, buddy.

Sonic: Buddy? … I’ve been reduced to ‘Buddy’?

Amy laughed.

Amy: Serenade me with a song sometime, I wanna hear your best, too, Sonic!

Sonic: … Okay. If I can find my old guitar again, you got it! But no ‘sappy’ stuff, alright?

Amy: Deal! ;3

"I play POLYMERIZATION! Taking these two prompts on my side of the inbox, I'll have them merge to combine and create..!"

"This-" Prompt:

“You’re nothing but a manipulator.”

The charismatic sound rattled Infinite to no end.

How could he continually disregard threat after threat? The abuse of Infinite’s words trying to sting a thousand deadly poisons about his friend’s shortcomings in the war rolling through his blood as though rain upon skin, not lasting… not affecting…

His spirit was unwavering and undaunted in the fact of his charading mask.

Infinite put a clawed hand up to it, his own insecurities shaking at Sonic’s optimism. Who taught this hero that? Was in just innate in him!?

‘His friends… are truly his power.’ He turned with a wide swish of his tail to the jail cell, also unrelenting, also unyielding.

His hands gripped the cage bars, “You have so much faith in your pathetic friends… the stench of their fear, after losing you, saturates the air even through the smog of burning smoke and ashes!” He shook the bars by accident, having thrusted himself up against the metal borders between freedom and entrapment.

Sonic, his arms folded, smirked with a side-eye back to Infinite’s attempt. “You’re the pathetic one. Shaking the cage instead of me.” He nonchalantly lifted a palm up towards the ceiling, as though shrugging. “My friends would never lose their cool.”

Unable to hold back a growl of distaste at failing to rile Sonic up or even get a reaction of misery out of him, Infinite, like a predator unable to feast on his prey’s sufferings, threw himself around and paced himself as though to walk away.

But no… It occurred to him, then… His one eye widening before slyly looking back at Sonic

He held a hand again to his mask, but this time, more poised than ever.

“I’m not sure what will convince you… besides, perhaps, an example?” He wanted to check to see if Sonic was now paying attention, he hadn’t exactly described a situation before. He had always, vividly, tried to paint a picture for Sonic of his friends falling back at his own power, at scurrying away in pain.

Describing injuries and their looks of fear and torment never seemed to phase Sonic, as though he knew his friends all too well…

“But this one…” He slightly tilted his body, wanting just a glance… a peek at his face. “Might surprise you.”

Sonic was still facing his back to him… ‘Alright… the games begin anew.’

More confident, Infinite turned away from looking slightly over his shoulder and continued his farce since of illusionary power…

“That one hedgehog, pink and frail, wielding a hammer not quite proportional to her size… Ring any bells?”

“She’d like me to hear bells.” Sonic scoffed, but it did mean he knew the very girl Infinite was speaking of…

He smirked under his mask. ‘I have you now… Sonic..!’

He paced to the side, showing he wasn’t going anywhere. “A spirited girl. Kinda reminds me of you, at times… Rallying her troops, raising their courage to fly the flag of resistance wherever they should so march… After all these months, though… I have come to find her weakness is rather… easy to exploit.” He raised a clawed hand, and curled it maliciously.

He took another peek.

A swift turn of Sonic’s quills showed he didn’t want to reveal his listening in…

‘Excellent… I’ve found your weakness as well.’ He swished only one beat of his tail, bringing it to his other side.

“It didn’t take long… You can read that one like a book. A picture book, even.” He lightly threw out some humor, mocking her. “Who knew a girl who’s fought robots all her life would get so shaken up by…”

He fully turned to face Sonic, folding his arms, “One…”

Sonic’s body twitched, before he repositioned his feet and seemed to regulate himself.

This was the first time Infinite was using an example about the little termite. She had holed herself away after an unfortunate setback… with Tails realizing both of them weren’t fit for combat.

Tails, with the loss of his best friend, and Amy dealing with loss by trying to stay active in hope and combat… only to be overthrown by her childhood trauma when faced with Metal Sonic Phantoms…

“My power grows stronger… thanks to her fear.” He dipped his chin down slightly, then walked with great, easy and relaxed strides as though he had all the time in the world to squeeze every last morsel of a delicious meal out of Sonic…

How he had longed to see the look of despair on that overconfident hedgehog’s face… a hero broken and defeated by Infinite’s own might and power..!

He tapped the metallic edge of his mask’s ‘nose’ against the metal bars. “Sonic? You still there?” He mockingly teased.

Sonic huffed out some air from his nose, scoffing at him.

“Want me to go on?” He was loving this.

Sonic? Silent?

“No remark at all, have you?”

“... You prattle on and on… just like Eggman.” Sonic’s words infuriated him.

He straightened up, stood more intimidatingly at the border of the cell, dropping his arms and forming fists. “What!?”

“Amy might have some small hammers…” He finally… turned around.

He walked to face Infinite’s trembling eye with his own, steady and steadfast, piercing emerald eye of his own.

“But she can also carry bigger ones… and it looks like you haven’t seen those yet.”

Infinite grunted to disregard Sonic’s bold stance and claim, flicking a hand up to dismiss his heroic defense of her.

“It’s no use, Infinite… You can’t shake me up.” Sonic smiled, leaning back. “Why not just quit already?”

“I can do whatever I please!!!” Infinite, losing his cool, slashed a claw across the bars as Sonic jumped back, landing on three limbs before smiling confidently once more, getting up to see Infinite breathing hard.

Infinite put a shaking hand to his throat… as Sonic tilted his head and chuckled to the side of himself.

“Right. Whatever you ‘can’ do… but without that mysterious power of yours… you’re nothing but the empty shell you wear on your head…” He swiped an arm out, as Infinite looked up, as though worried Sonic saw right through his ruse…

“You’ll pay for that… hedgehog.” He moved and lowered a lever, as Sonic’s face turned from joking to serious.

Another torturous arena battle, eh?

When would he learn…

Once rescued, Sonic immediately found out the source of Infinite’s power through some trial and error, but with the help of his friends, he also noticed…

At the final battle, Amy was avoiding the Metal Sonic’s…

His heart Infinite’s words, seeing that they must be true.

At first, he was relieved to hear Amy didn’t leave the base most of the time. Figuring all of Infinite’s spout out nonsense was just like his Phantom Ruby powers, make-believe that he convinced himself he was seeing.

It gave Infinite power to see others weak and helpless before him… he soaked in their expressions of fear as though a vampire to their bloodlust.

Amy’s face would shift when seeing a Metal Sonic coming at her, then turn to only find another in the opposite direction.

Her hammer stayed at her side, ready… but never launching itself towards its foes…

Sonic didn’t have much time… he needed to defeat this thing, the giant mecha Eggman had holed himself inside… but this… this needed to be addressed first.

Because, in truth, seeing even some of Infinite’s words proving true… was what truly made Sonic feel fear.

His heart trembled, yes.

But not in weakness…

In strength.

“Amy!”

Alarmed, Amy turned around to gasp, seeing Sonic leap over her and curl up to knock away a few more enemies, leaving–purposefully–the Metal Sonics as the only illusionary menaces still plaguing her flanks.

“W-What did you do that for? Come to help or selectively not hit the ones with your ‘somewhat’ face?” She teased, but as he put his back against her own, letting the Metal Sonic’s swarm and surround them, he could feel her body quake in fear…

He closed his eyes, trying to help his heart beat louder… Maybe, just maybe… Her heart might match its empathic pace.

It might guide her to the bravery he knew was always within her, even at her most lowest,... Amy wasn’t the kind of girl to quit.

“Amy…” He turned only some of his face over his shoulder, speaking indirectly to her as he opened his eyes to see the Metal Sonics raising their metallic claws, slowly taking steps to pin the two more and more against each other… squishing them into the center of their pre-pounced huddle.

“Remember what we said Infinite’s power runs on?” He eyed her behind him and then the Metal Sonics… they were growing larger… their red eyes blaring as though two twin lighthouses… not meant to instill safety, but distill it with the heat of battle, rising in growing doom.

“They don’t casts shadows…”

She looked down at the ground, seeing that.

“But in your mind… The more power you give them, the greater they become.”

Sonic’s words were like an anchor to her soul, and she took a deep breath, holding the Piko Piko Hammer, a trusted friend nowadays, with both hands… gripping it tightly and rubbing a twisting firmness to secure the lock they had on them.

She nodded, understanding.

“Banish that doubt, Amy… I’m here for you. I’ll be your strength… just like when it all first happened… I won’t leave you hanging for long.”

His voice was so gentle, so reassuring.

Her eyes blinked in recognition, remembering dangling by what felt like an iron thread, crying out in desperate cries to be let go… 

Sonic’s spin dash cut what felt like impossible bands to break, and once catching her footing, the binds of those ropes falling away, rushing into his arms, “Sooonnniccc…!!!”

Feeling that rush of gratitude like how she had felt back then, she smiled with peace finally lingering in her heart…

Her heart and his… steadily beating to the same drum.

“Thank you,... Sonic.” She teared up a little, “I missed you.”

He smiled, too. “Not for too long..! I hope…” He teased, but looked behind him and winked to her.

“Hehe, you’re such a charmer!” She played back, before swinging her hammer up over her head, “HHHHHHHEEE–” She wound up.

The Metal Sonic’s suddenly froze, looking at their bodies as they began to continually shrink in size.

“-HAHHHH!!!!” The Hammer grew in power, springing out puffs of what looked like cotton clouds to then reveal its enormous size..!

It swung down to completely flatten quite the regiment of Metal Sonics, now the size of nothing more than ants compared to her enlargened hammer.

The ‘Piko!’ Sound was deep, a low, heavy sound that amplified by the impact pulse and waves of air as rocks flew up in debris from the collison.

The echo made other Metal Sonics turn before lifting their arms to try and shield from the wind blast… but were taken out by the flying, large rocks that came hurdling at them.

Sonic flicked a thumb across the underbelly of his nose, proud of his friend conquering her fears, and realizing that was exactly why Infinite separated him from his friends.

The one thing that Infinite and Eggman did happen to see…

Was that Sonic… helped to dissipate fear from all those who trusted in him.

He was… Their beacon of everlasting Hope… and gave them the will to fight!

He took out the rest of the Metal Sonics in front of him, “I’ll take care of the rest!” He snickered, “And I don’t like my face that much, Amy! Come on!”

“Biggest lie I’ve heard today!” Amy cheerfully teased back.

“The nerve!” Sonic joked, but smiled and chuckled at seeing her thriving now on the battlefield…

Their rhythm aligned, their hearts were now synced, and with the same speed of delivery, Sonic and her continued to thrash the foes around them before he sped off with a kind wave goodbye, his eyes softened in a glaze of admiration of her.

She gave him a beautiful smile that freely warmed his heart with the light of hope she had once taught him to possess, and sped away to take on the big bad boss… once more… with a heart cleansed from doubt.

Aye, Aye, Capt'n!!!!

Note: All the obstacles listed are basically what's in the above mentioned Anon requests XD I just didn't want to have to describe everything when they did it so well! <3

PROMPTS ARE ON SHUT DOWN, LOCKED UP TIGHT WITH A ZIPLOCK BAGGIE, DO NOT PUT MORE REQUESTS FOR WRITING INTO THE PRISON WHICH IS THE INBOX, Thank you~

However, do I like a 'Hi, I love this and that <3' every now and then. Peace and love, My Cuties~

Prompt:

War had ruined most hearts against the sunny light of hope… it was a dark time, hardly counts to call it the ‘worst’ since most refuse to acknowledge that time should even consider it. To most, it was a mistake.

Many looked to the basking Sonic with quiet anger, seeing him up on a ruined pillar that had fallen on some poor sap’s rooftop. They saw this as an open rebellion of sorts, as though their ‘hero’ was ‘too good’ to help with reconstruction efforts.

This soured their hearts, as they had all mourned his supposed passing… now they envied the time they thought him better than this.

Amy, sensing the hostility, requested a plot of land to not be cleared yet. With the trash, she constructed obstacles, feats of daring intique, and even thrills in hopes of getting Sonic and the rest of the remaining survivors a entertainment spectacle to lose themselves in.

Maybe… sparking love once more for their daring, dashing hero again.

However… Sonic was a fickle sort of heart. Always darting around, Amy couldn’t find the time to actually stick his feet to the ground long enough to engage him in these ‘sports’ of sorts.

Not giving up, though exhausted, she asked for more time from Knuckles and Tails happily took her spot to cover for her.

She was determined to make Sonic care… there was no doubt in her mind that he did, but no one saw the actions a hero did when alone… and no one was watching.

‘How do I make them understand him?’ She thought to herself, getting a bungie chord secured and ready, locking it in place. “How…” She arched her eyes, in worry. “How do I show them who he truly is?”

At night, dead in its darkness, Sonic traveled hundreds of miles… searching the ground with due diligence, he would race back with seeds of every different kind of plant life he could find–down to the smallest grain of mustard seed.

He would run and scatter from his hands the seeds into the wake of his wind, and thereby, he was healing the earth… digging out channels of land to make small canals for water to be brought to the new seedlings, and he did this all without a single eye upon him… except, when Amy tracked his location one night, that is.

She took out her tracker and followed in his footsteps, covering her mouth when her eyes were alight with green… and all sorts of beautiful colors from the freshly watered plants springing up again.

It was so far from the city… of course no one would interfere with it.

But Amy clenched her heart, she knew the people would still think Sonic a decadent, his credence simply being that he never helped the living civilians and rebellion people whom he led… caring more for ridiculous plants than their own wellbeing.

But Amy knew in her heart that this was important work, too… No matter how many homes are rebuilt, if the earth was damaged, so would their futures be…

“I have to make them see.” She hit the large, steel spike into the ground adamantly, sweat forming on her forehead as she wiped it off, ‘He’s so kind.’ she teared up, gritting her teeth, ‘How dare they say he doesn’t care! If they saw the beauty of that place… of the wide and green miles upon miles he’s worked so hard to restore… they’d see he is on their side… just… in a different way!’

She hammered and hammered… growing more upset, ‘Sonic..’ Her heart cried out and she fell to her knees, “How do I make them understand..?”, ‘How do I get them to see your heart… without actually showing them your private passion project?’

She wiped her eyes with her arm… before hearing a familiar spinning sound, like a pinball spin-up.

“H-huh?” She turned to see Sonic blazing through her track, “Oh!” She was elated to see him… but then…

“Wait!” She rose straight up, “No, no, no!!!” She raced forward, wanting to stop him! ‘If he completes the obstacle course and thrill rides… No one will see it and laugh with us at his accomplishment!’, “Sonic!!!”

She raced after him with her hands outstretched along the track, like a true test of courage and strength, as Sonic was literally destroying the track as it wasn’t done yet while completing it.

He was having a ball!

Amy quickly had to run to get on the track, unable to save it, she just tried to keep up and dodge the crumbling setup built from the ruins of the area. “Soooniicc!!!” She tried to balance along a beam as he swung from rail to rail, smirking the whole way as he was enjoying the strange setup, not looking back, always moving forward…

‘Why isn’t he looking back?’ She saw the railing swing had snapped on one side, and jumped to the bars to climb up the rope and move along that way.

Sonic only halted at the bungie chord, putting a finger to his chin.

“This is meant to be for all to see! To do it with me! As a game!” Amy cried out, but Sonic tied the rope around him… She had to hurry before he-!”

“Waaaiiittt!!!” Amy grabbed his waist, as Sonic smiled and took hold of her, jumping. “AHHHH!!!!”

Sonic held her the rest of the way through, leaping over large rubber balls, spin-dashing through punching bags, and narrowly avoiding the water traps too.

Scaling a climbing slope, he threw Amy up top and then made it the rest of the way no problem.

He hit a button and laughed, “I did it!” He put his hands straight out, “Yes!” as the whole of the entire area crumbled to pieces, and smashed over other parts of the track to completely fail and fall, slashing big portions of the setup to rumble once more…

He put his hands on his hips, “Huh, wonder why Eggman randomly put this track out in the middle of no where, huh, Amy?” He looked down at her, “... Amy?”

She was on all fours, shaking…

“... Amy, are you okay-?” He went to reach for her hand, bending down but she turned her head away, silently looking as though growling at him in her head. 

Her eyes were covered in shadows… “Why don’t you listen?”

His outstretched hand paused.

“This isn’t a game… Well, it was- but it was meant to be adored by millions of suffering fans who needed to see you do it!” She gripped the steel upon rusty steel flooring of the top of the tower. “You just… you don’t stop and think, you just… you just do it!” She cried, “Sonic The Hedgehog… Do you care about anyone’s hard work besides your own!?” She looked up at him and it cut air off between the two of them.

He stepped back, his arms out to the side of himself now.

Amy’s eyes were blurred by her emotions, her tears like blobs of weighted mass, she couldn’t wipe them from her eyes as more just kept coming… like a floodgate had been opened.

“I don’t get it… I’m the one that doesn’t understand you.” She lowered her head, “I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have said all of that…” She cried into her hands, “I worked so hard… so people could see a different side of you… But… this is all they see.” She gestured to the ruined obstacle course and thrilling feats she had been working on. “I… I don’t want to give up on you… or the people… or myself.” She lowered her hands to her lap, now sitting on her knees.

“Sonic…” She looked up at him, his face still distorted by her tears. “Why do you do your works in the dark?”

Realizing in that sentence what she was finally talking about, his shoulders relaxed and he took a deep breath.

“I’m not offended, Amy…” He put a hand behind his head, scratching it a bit to loose some of the awkward tension that had arisen. To him, this had come out of left field, literally no where, and he was expected to catch a baseball he didn’t even know was pitched. “Just taken aback, is all.”

“...” Amy said nothing, her head lowering down, as though distraught that that was his first reply.

He looked worried, and smiled gently as he looked over the track. “... I’ve seen you working on this, Amy.” He admitted, as her head came back up, and she got herself straightly up right away onto her feet.

“Then why did you destroy it!? Why’d you say it was Eggman’s doing!?” She shook her fists, “Why did you-…” Her voice broke a bit, “I always thought I had to entertain you, Sonic… that I couldn’t keep up, so I might as well keep you around by making a good effort on my end… but even then… I’m tried, Sonic.” She closed her eyes, as Sonic twitched and put his fingers to his heart, looking down as though feeling literal pain there.

“That sank pretty low.” He admitted, his tone sounding more heartbroken then ever. He couldn’t hide that.

“You’ve done… nothing for others to witness.” She rubbed her eyes, “I can’t keep trying to make them see the real you, Sonic… or even love you, anymore.”

He smiled and turned to her, “I never asked to be ‘entertained’, Amy… No friend should have to feel like they’re catering to one or the other.”

Amy’s head shot up at that.

“If you’re tired, it’s because you’ve been trying to grab at something that just isn’t there. No one can control another’s emotions… you aren’t responsible for how I act, or how other people feel, Amy…”

Amy got wobbly, so Sonic held out a hand, catching her. “... It’s the moments people hold personal… that make them heroes, Amy.” He lowered his head, “I never asked to be a hero… I just became one… because I couldn’t hide myself anymore.” He smiled, “Good deeds or not, I live by my own creed… I don’t need cheers or approval from others… I do what I want to do, and it just so happens that saving the world, protecting my friends and others,... those are things I enjoy doing.” He helped her back to her feet, her hands gripping his arms as though never wanting to be let go of them.

“But… why can’t you… be celebrated openly, Sonic?” She shook her head, “I don’t want to hear people speaking ill of you…”

“You’re burnt out, Amy… worrying about how other people view me.” He rubbed the top of her head, affectionately. “Eggman made this mess… but you made another, putting your time into something that wasn’t your problem to deal with in the first place.” He lightly pulled her head to his chest, dropping his own head to hers. “Amy… Whether people like what I do or not, I would hope in my heart… that you’d at least choose to accept it, accept me… and for what I am, I accept all of you… even the parts that worry about me.” He smirked and moved her out of his embrace. “Life’s no fun if you’re always waiting for someone to witness you doing it.” He gave her a wink and a thumbs up, “You miss too many opportunities that way.”

She couldn’t help but feel there was some truth in that, “... The best things…” She sniffled, rubbing the back of her nose against her gloved hand, looking at it as though disgusted, but having no alternative. “Are what’s unseen…”

Sonic nodded, “My merit isn’t credited by those that can view it… it’s what I know I did, Amy. So have faith that people will warm up to us all again, you’ll see.” He grinned, leaning towards her, “Keep a smile on that pretty face of yours, and quit playing in the trash, alright?” He rubbed her cheeks, getting some dust off of them.

She giggled, “Sonic… you’re the best and the worst at this!” She pushed him and he stumbled, wobbling off the edge of the tower as Amy placed her hands on her cheeks and swayed repeatedly back and forth, “Ohh~ You sweet talker, you~”

She blinked her eyes… “Sonic?”

She looked over to see he was gripping the edge of the tower.

Looking over, she saw him with chibi tears spraying out of his eyes, “HELLLP MEEE!!!” He cried out, “AMMYY!!!”

She immediately gasped and reached down, “Oh, OHH!! Sonnniccc!!! I’m so sorry!”

“Wah-hah-ha, why’d you make it so tall!?” He wiggled his feet out as she hoisted him up, looking down and getting freaked out.

When she got him up, he laid across her and starting laughing.

She blinked her eyes again but he just rolled off of her, “That sure was fun! I’m glad I got to be here with you… Amy.” He smiled and put a hand on his stomach, “What should we do next, huh?”

She smiled, “First… you’re gonna do all my work I left behind.” She narrowed her eyes, “You’re gonna take responsibility for your actions… and you’re going to at least clear up the misunderstandings.”

He looked as though she didn’t get what he was saying, but sighed, “Fine. If it makes you happy… Amy.” He closed his eyes and put his hands behind his back, “But first…” He tilted his nose up, “Can you smell that?”

She tried to, “Smoke? Oil?” She guessed, but he kept shaking his head lightly.

“Nah… keep trying.” He smiled gently, “Emmm~”

She tried again… reaching her nose out further, “Ah..! Your flowers!” She looked to the area far off, seeing his passionate project coming to life now that the thick smog parted to show the whole area… and people picking flowers, playing in the clean water, and enjoying life out there.

“Ah… They already knew.” Her eyes twitched at the beautiful sight, “From way up here…”

“... You saw a problem that you thought was there.” Sonic opened his eyes lightly, “No one hated me, Amy…” He looked to her, “... You were projecting your own thoughts and feelings onto others… You thought you were the only one… but really,” He took on a serious tone.

“I think you felt I wasn’t giving you enough time, Amy… for all you do for me, I think you felt jipped.”

She broke down and sobbed profusely, as Sonic slowly got up and put an arm around her again, letting her cry…

She was the one thinking those horrible things… this whole time…

“Eggman really made a mess of things.” He gently rested his head over Amy’s shoulder, “Didn’t he, Amy?”

With an absolute heart full of grace and sorrow, thankful for Sonic’s understanding, she held her hand to his back and pulled him closer, “Yes…” She admitted, feeling the weight finally set in. “I tried to be so strong when he took you away from us… I never once believed you were gone…”

“... That must have been a heavy burden… keeping everyone’s faith and hope alive… in me, and in the war efforts,... Amy.” Sonic closed his eyes, letting her let it out.

“I just… I wanted to see you.” She smushed her eyes into his shoulder. “I wanted you to want to see me…”

“...” This time, Sonic remained silent.

“... I love you, Sonic.” She mumbled through her tears.

“... I know.” Sonic took his other hand and adjusted his legs to be able to sit and hold her with both his arms now around her. “I missed you too, Amy…”

They both then said, as though one healing thought spoken aloud from their souls…

I may slightly change your idea, slightly, but I think it’ll be more dramatic how Amy is taken instead of Sonic this way. I don’t think I can come up with much of a reason for Infinite taking her instead of Sonic when Sonic is quite literally passed out, so I made up my mind that ‘this’ way would be a bit more believable. (If this turns into an InfinitexAmy but ends on Sonamy, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It... it’s a problem and I can’t stop it, lol)

Prompt:

It was mortifying. Seeing Sonic go down so fast, suddenly becoming still and lifeless...

Everyone froze on the battlefield, and after their bodies forced them to take a breath, Amy rushed in front of Sonic’s limp body.

Infinite slowly floated down, his tail slightly flicking in an elegant manner, but showing his frustration at her immediate interference.

“Hahaha..! And what do you suppose you can do... Your hero has failed you, your forces will end here... There’s nothing your patheic attempt at saving his life could possibly do for your forces...” He placed his hand up to his mask, gloating as he taunted her protective stance in front of Sonic’s laying form.

She frowned heavily, her hands shaking a moment on her raised hammer but quickly gripped it tighter to stop the fear creeping into her heart. “Sonic can’t loose!” She declared, confidently. “Not if we’re all standing beside him!”

Infinite took his other arm and wrapped it around himself, creating a place for his before mentioned raised hand’s elbow to rest on. “If he wakes up... none of you will be here... hahaha!”

His laughter caused Amy’s eyebrows to twitch down into an even fiercer glare.

Getting annoyed at her bravery, Infinite pivoted quickly in the air and threw his arms down, “Stubborn as your kind, I see!” he raised his arm slowly, “No matter... I’ll dispose of all this ‘false hope’ and end this war’s resistance once and for-”

“I’d like to see you try!” Amy took a confident step forward, but Eggman’s voice cut both of them off from their respective ‘duel’ of sorts.

“Infinite!” Eggman seemed to be giving the commands around here, and not Infinite. “I want him captured and alive!”

Infinite flicked his tail again, a bit more to show his growing anger, but turned to Amy. “The Doctor seems to be under the impression that he’s better off watching the world burn then burning with it... an unfortunate call, but he never said anything about preserving his friends lives...”

A red beam shot from his hands as Amy threw up her hammer and was blown back by it, but made sure she didn’t knock into Sonic.

She looked back at him, worried, before shaking her fears off again and standing boldly in front of Infinite. “I’ll go instead!” she cried out. “I can tell you valuable plans for the resistance-!”

“Like I would believe such a tale.” Infinite continued to fire off shots, trying to get her to leave the body to him, but she wouldn’t budge.

She was blasted time and time again by the contact of his beams against her hammer, but she continued to remain strong and deflect them away while not moving from where Sonic was.

She gritted her teeth, seeing he wasn’t going to buy into bluffs.

“No fear,” she began, which threw Infinite off as he pulled back his hand, growing even more furious at her courage. “Amy Rose is here!” she began to charge him, and growing afraid, he shot one red beam out from a few different cubes that appeared around him, firing all into the center of her hammer as she tried to push against it.

She grunted, showing the strain on her body as the laser beams continued to dig into her hammer and weaken her of her reserved power.

He laughed then, seeing her at a standstill. “Your useless attempt at saving his life will end in vain. It’s pointless to strive against a more powerful force than your own!”

“...Eggman... and even you don’t scare me.” She spoke through clenched teeth, but her feet were sliding as she tried to push against the combined red force of the beams.

Infinite’s eye twitched at her words.

“...You will be!” he threw back his resting hand and shot another powerful beam into the center, giving an extra force to the already overpowering might of the Phantom Ruby cubes.

She was forced back, but when she did so, Tails flew into the scene along with the others, leading a defensive wall just to stand as cover.

Knuckles and the others lead another ground team, trying to get people out of there.

Espio suddenly appeared, having gone invisible to get Amy, but she weakly opened her eyes and spoke in a haze, “No... Go... get... Sonic...”

“But-” Espio looked to see Sonic, his fingers finally twitched, showing he was alive... somewhat. “What about you?” He looked back at her and she breathed faintly. “We... need... him.” She spoke, trying to use the last of her strength to push Espio towards him, scooting his foot to Sonic’s direction. “He’ll... raise... morale.”

“That’s not your reason.” Espio knew her undying love for Sonic, but wouldn’t be so easily moved by it. “You’re acting like a fool, let me help you up-ah!” she batted away his reaching hands.

“GO!” she cried out, “Now!”

His eyes flinched at her declaration... his fist shook, “Sonic...” he ran towards him and turned invisible, laying on top of him to block out Infinite’s vision in seeing him, creating a blank space that looked like no one was there... “Forgive me...” He closed his eyes, feeling them shake. He knew Sonic wouldn’t let this go, and probably stage a hasty rescue for Amy... but letting Amy go... what was she planning?!

Infinite had no trouble squandering Tails’s force, flying over them and shooting out his beams before seeing Amy on the ground, panting and trying to get up on her knees, and Sonic no where to be found.

In his rage, he flew straight at her, gripping her throat and pulling her up into the air. “Where is he!?What have you done with him?!”

Amy struggled to place her hands on his own, gripping tightly against her airway. “G-given... the... r-resistance... a-a.... miracle... of... h-ho-hope.”

In his fury, he lifted his other hand to tear her face clean through, but Eggman flew up behind the flames.

“You lost him!?” He roared, but looked around, “Nevermind the girl! Wait-... Wait, wait, wait! Mind her, mind her!” He flew closer to them and sat up in his Eggmobile, shaking a hand in front of himself to visually show Infinite not to hurt her. “Take her with us to the moon! Sonic will always help a friend in need... wherever we take her... he’ll be sure to follow.” Eggman snickered, but then immediately turned to a frown as he flew over and smacked Infinite upside the head, “When that comes-! Don’t screw it up!” he flew off then, as though somewhat intimidated by Infinite as well, but not scared of him.

Infinite, feeling humiliated upon his total victory just a moment ago, lowered his raised hand but kept Amy by the throat.

He pulled her closer to the edge of his mask, “Our quarrel isn’t over... Amy.”

She kept trying to resist his grip, but he pressed just slightly more to make her choke out her words.

Espio heard her struggling, but knew if he moved even slightly, Sonic’s body would be revealed. ‘Forgive me..!’ he continued to think silently, letting Amy endure the torture.

But with a swift kick, Amy got out of his grasp, just before the final blow to knock her out.

“Hmph,” being shoved away, he dusted himself off, flexing the hand he used to strangle her momentarily with. “Persistent... all the signs of an animal on it’s last legs...”

Amy tried to regain her breathing,...

“I have no use for you... but since Eggman believes you can lure out Sonic... I suppose I can let you live... but you did say you had intel on the resistance. Might as well...” He walked slowly towards her, threatening an advance as he leaned down slightly to show he was ready to duke it out again. “Rip the knowledge right out of you..!”

His swift movements didn’t catch her off-guard like they did Sonic, and instead, their fight was met with blocks and swings, before she spun around and flipped back, shoving him away.

While he was still flying back, she used the opportunity to hit Espio and Sonic into the air, swinging them up as Tails and Knuckles immediately flew and glided up to grab them. They disappeared into the fray of the retreating army, but as Amy was staggering to try and keep herself upright, about to flee with them, Infinite gripped her from behind and threw a hand over her mouth so she couldn’t cry for help. Not that her throat had recovered much from his earlier, killing force.

He flew high into the air, keeping her locked in his arms before she bit his hand.

“Fine, except your fate!” he let her go but threw open a false reality, splitting her mind into believing she was being glitched apart and turning into static interference.

He watched with some amusement, before using the realm to also quickly transfer her to the moon’s prison.

Everything was black... and cold.

The metal beneath her only increased her discomfort as she began to slowly blink her eyes, and getting up... looking to see the design very much like Eggman’s handiwork.

Her hands were shackled by some strange technology that glowed light blue, and behind her, a lowered metal bed that hung just a little off the floor.

She sighed and felt her head ringing, not wanting to remember how she got here, but having the memories skate by quickly as she recollected herself.

“Hmph, Eggman is a fool to think this will cause any panic.”

That voice wasn’t familiar... and as she turned to see a huge, hulking red beast with horns in front of her cell, she held in her surprised gasp.

Her mouth opened as her eyes scanned but then shut quickly as he looked over to her, “What will you do with her?” his arms were folded, looking less than thrilled at the prospect of not being able to get his revenge right away. “I was told I could toss Sonic around like my own personal punching bag!” He tightened his fist, “Eggman will hear of my displeasure...”

Infinite’s voice suddenly entered the frame, and Amy felt her chest tighten as though his very voice could constrict her now like he had her throat.

“Leave the girl and whatever use she can be to me. I understand you’re aggravation, but don’t get in my way with your sap story...” He flicked a hand out, as though dismissing Zavok as Amy put together that he must have come to beat down on Sonic even more...

If he were here... hurt and disoriented, worried about his friends and going crazy at the small confinement... no, Sonic wouldn’t have succumbed to dread. He would have taken the beating till he could fight back... He would have remained hopeful that his team would come through. That they could make it and manage a short while without him.

Infinite walked up into the sight of the prison bars... almost like stalking her image a moment before pausing towards the door of her cell. “...What good is your failed bravery now?” he taunted, then tilted his head and gestured his hand out. “Your friends will do just fine without you, that much is true, dying was never hard for your kind anyway.”

‘My kind..?’ Amy wondered if that meant Infinite wasn’t one of them, but perhaps, half robot. She tried to open her mouth but her voice failed her, and she put her hands up to her mouth, realizing all that was coming out was air.

Infinite watched... seeing her frailty, and disregarding it to continue speaking. He looked away from her, “Your friends have been fighting but to no avail... Eggman will crush them soon... and when that happens, he’ll give the order to eliminate the last of them... you.” he looked back to her, “A worthless ant compared to Sonic... just a bigger, squishable ant than you.”

After telling her how much Eggman had taken over the world, even with Sonic still out among the resistance, he then added, “-And no one seems to be prioritizing you. You’re just another casualty to them.”

Amy remained poised, now seeing she couldn’t speak without resounding ridicule from Infinite, she just lowered her hands to her lap and sat properly, staring with a strong look back to him.

“...Even Sonic can’t save the world now.” He waited to see her despair set in... but her eyes simply declared, ‘He will,’.

Infinite’s eye widened and shook, before blinking to a calm and moving more towards her cell. “The last of your hope is about to be snuffed out before you can even see him again..!”

Her eyes blared a holy light of hope, as she let him fall into it’s sucking pull of knowing he was wrong. ‘And you’ll never see it coming...’.

He clashed his hand up against the cell, causing a loud sensation to echo through the whole of the moon’s structure, creating a vibrating force that should have rocked Amy to her core, at least made her flinch, but nothing... “You and the rest of your pathetic resistance is already doomed by my power and the power of the Phantom Ruby!!!”

Amy’s eyes remained constant in their resolve, their power never waning as they once again continued, ‘He’ll overwhelm you in the light of his hope, and you’ll be weak to resist it.’

Slashing the door open as it immediately unlocked for him, he charged into the cell and loomed over her. His body twitched at her still being able to hold her own, and immediately tried to beat out the ‘speak of life’ within her.

She wouldn’t just take a beating, and instead, fought bravely, even though her hands were restricted, summoned her hammer and kept on fighting.

Months had gone by where the routine was to pretend her voice never healed, watch as Infinite continued to try and break her spirit piece by piece with lies, but never fully give in to any of them. Once his patience ran thin, she would fight to stay alive under his brutal hate of her trust in Sonic and her friends.

“I AM NOT WEAK!” he grabbed her hammer which had tried to swing to his head, and threw her down to the ground.

Gripping the top of her head, he threw her against the metallic torture board, but didn’t bother to strap her up this time. “I know your voice should is healed!” his voice was like a shockwave, ringing through the metallic chamber and throughout the moon. He had personally excused Zavok back to the earth to fight Sonic, and though he journeyed there to fight as well, wouldn’t miss a single appointment to try and strip Amy of all she ever believed and held dear.

“You’re just too broken to use it!” he tried to gloat, but she could tell he was only trying to convince himself that she feared him, when it really wasn’t the case.

She pretended it hurt, when it didn’t, and stayed up against the metal board, tilted slightly to hold someone up to a the deadly lightning that would try and shock information out of her.

He paced behind her back, looking to her then away, as though feeling he had nothing left to throw at her, no plan remaining to extract her spirit and tear her core apart.

He wouldn’t admit how strong she was, he wouldn’t allow himself to think such a thing.

So he was convincing himself that he was still winning, and Amy just held her ground time and time again.

He finally moved up to her and slammed a hand against the board, the vibration hurting her hands as she moved away from it and felt herself bump up against him.

She was shocked he was so close, and turned to get ready for another rumble, but he grabbed her shoulder and turned her forcefully, shoving her back against the metallic board.

“Say something...” his voice sounded off, and she looked around, still pretending she couldn’t speak. His claws traced her shoulder down to her collarbone... then up to her throat that slowly began to enclose around her throat again.

She fought but he rammed his elbow into her the metallic board, keeping her in place beneath him, having her slightly lean to match the board’s angle with her back.

“...You still think someone’s going to save you... don’t you?” He lightly squeezed on her throat and she tried to hold back a sound of pain, but he kept his thumb pressing in different places, as though trying to force out a sound. “You don’t even bothering using your voice anymore... not that anything you say would change the truth!” he then threw her away from the metallic board and watch her catch herself before falling to the steel ground. “Even if they try..!” He pivoted to her, angling his head up to loom over her, possessively. “I would never let them have you... Not until I’ve sent you back... in pieces!” He threw back his hand but before he could strike, Amy already summoning her hammer and trying to get her feet under her more, a hook-shot wrapped expertly around his raised wrist, as Infinite was held back. “WHAT?!” he looked bewilderedly back at the wire, and followed it to it’s source...

“Nice shot, Rookie!” A familiar, cheery voice suddenly spun into the fray and spindashed into Infinite, shredded his quills into his Phantom Ruby as the cubes glitched into reality at being threatened.

“NOOO!!!” Infinite was released from the hookshot and pushed back as Sonic’s whirling blue ball of thunder spun in the air a moment before landing in front of Amy, uncurling to reveal her hero.

“Sonic!” she finally let the words out, as Infinite’s eye shook at her voice he hadn’t heard for months.

“The one and only!” Sonic adjusted his gloves, then tapped his foot behind him, as though getting ready for a rumble. “Sorry I’m a bit late, Amy! Zavok took forever to force an answer out of him, what’d I miss?”

“GRAAAH!!” Infinite swung a beam back at Sonic but he quickly dodged it, letting it follow him as he gave Rookie a command.

“Hey, buddy! Get Amy out of here and leave this to me!”

“Nooo!” Infinite turned his target to the red Rookie, but Amy got up and slammed a hammer into his stomach. “Ack..! Ahh... l-liar...” He staggered, and as he did so, tried to reach for her but she quickly gave him one last glare, keeping him up by her hammer, before speedily retreating with the Rookie.

Even at the last second, she wouldn’t speak to him.

He threw out his frustrations onto Sonic, who now that Amy and the Rookie were gone, really let Infinite have it.

From the Rookie, Amy learned how mad and obsessed Sonic was with bringing her back. Chewing out Espio before able to hear reason, he never stopped questioning Eggman and threatening his phantom forces about where she was these six months. He wouldn’t prioritize anything over getting her back, knowing full well she self-sacrificed and risked everything to keep him with the resistance.

“It should have been me!” Sonic kicked Infinite back, but on the second throw, was caught by Infinite’s hand and thrown back.

“Yes, it should have been.” He agreed, and continued to fight him.

“What did you want with Amy anyway!?” Sonic was relentless, and even though Infinite triggered the false dimension many times, Sonic still had plenty of power to keep coming at him.

“...Her voice.” Infinite muttered under his breath, before slashing Sonic to the side and watching him tumble as the gravity began to fail. Sonic was continually spinning horizontally in the air, but floating over to the ceiling’s corner, caught himself and shook his head, glaring back at Infinite and pushing off to dive towards him.

“I wanted her to bring you to me, and now she finally has.”

“Could have been sooner if your mask cracked a bit and you just said where she was in the first place!” their punches weren’t as powerful in zero gravity, but their combined anger meant they were pulling the other to stay within the fight, stay close and personal to keep punching out.

‘I wanted her to choke on her next word-’ Infinite recalled, ‘I wanted her to give up and fall to me like the rest of your insignificant forces! But she wouldn’t!’

Amy was safely delivered to Vector’s escape pod, and the Rookie patted her back, smiling and welcoming her back to earth... and the resistance.

Turning Super Sonic, Sonic also made it out before the moon exploded... and Infinite followed him suit.

Once back at the resistance, Amy could finally rest and get treated for her bruises, which were pretty bad on her throat, where he would target the most.

Eggman scolded Infinite but agreed that Amy was worthless and only there to really cause aggravation and be used as a ‘tool’ really to bargain with and then break their promises and/or deals. Now that she was back, Eggman ordered Infinite to ignore it, but Infinite couldn’t let it slide...

His fingers would twitch to be at her throat again...

With Sonic, hearing she had awaken from her medical rest, he bolted in to startle the nurses and doctors who were looking at her, and noticed her bandaged up with her dress slightly down from her chest to continue fixing up the white bandages.

He turned his head abruptly, but it wasn’t like he could see anything... it was just polite not to stare.

The female doctor who was patching her up smiled at his retreating look, and tied the last knot for Amy, patting her shoulders as Amy blushed and put her dress back up to connect the white collar around her sore neck again.

The male nurse also waved awkwardly to let Sonic know he could look again, and he did so.

“You okay?” He asked, rather quickly, and Amy just smiled weakly to him and closed her eyes.

“I am now that I’ve seen you flourishing!” she chimed, her voice as strong as ever, though not quite matching the patched-up look she had, physically.

“Hmph, Good.” Still angry, he folded his arms and turned his head away. “It would be hard to stay upset if you weren’t.”

“Upset?” Amy asked, curiously, as the rest of the crew eyed one another. Quickly feeling out the mood, they began to depart, letting the two have some privacy.

That same male nurse saw Tails wanting to come in and held up a finger to his lips, showing that he should stay quiet and not bother them right now.

Sonic tapped a foot, aggressively holding in all his words.

“...Sonic? Is everything alright?” Amy worriedly put a hand up to herself and then reached one out to Sonic, but he broke his folded arms and glared at her, with some hurt she didn’t recognize.

“I’ve thought for 6 months how I was gonna sternly call you out for your heroism, how you should have just let it slide and let him take me.” His voice was as though he was banishing her to get out of his presence, but she knew that wasn’t how he was meaning to come off... right?

“After a while, I thought maybe I should explain where I’m coming from, get you to understand how much pain you’ve brought me since you traded in your life for mine.” His voice got softer, but not by much. He leaned on the gurney and got closer to her face, his eyes still intense. “Because... it’s been the first time in my life... that I’ve ever felt genuinely worried for the future... where I couldn’t stop thinking about the ‘what ifs’ and every night, the same cursed dream of not waking up in time to save you... not being strong enough to not picture all the horrible things that Infinite and Zavok must have been doing to you to get information out on me and the others... the whole resistance was crying their eyes out for you and then letting them sting the next morning as they searched for signs of you.”

As he spoke, Amy felt her heart sinking and rising in turns. Like he was filling her heart with the floods of emotions that were quickly blocking and pushing Infinite’s hopeless attempts to sink her out, and letting her heart swiftly rise up to it’s proper position, instead of down by her stomach in dreaming hopes of grandeur that her friends were alright and well.

She saw the earth from above... but forced herself to never cry, never let Infinite get to her...

Sonic was confused by her silence, but seeing her throat, figured it may hurt to speak.

He looked away, his lips parting to show his clenched teeth and her eyes spotting also his scraping nails against the gurney’s covers...

“I honestly didn’t know, Amy...” He admitted, “... if you’d be there in my future or not.”

She gasped.

Never before had she ever assumed Sonic would give in to such thinking...

“But I couldn’t give up...” He closed his eyes, trying to remain unemotional. “I had to disregard my speech, and if I found you, just tell you how I really feel.”

He then turned seriously towards her, his eyes piecing into her heart that he had made soar up to her throat, bumping against the sides as though unable to move further as it was too big to squeeze through, but the emotional floods were pushing it up regardless.

She slightly leaned back, lost for words, instead of holding them back like before...

“Now... all I can say is... why?” he pleaded, “Why did you do it?” his eyes grew hopelessly soft as though unable to keep up the ‘tough guy’ persona. “Why didn’t you just... save yourself?”

It was love, it had to be. Amy couldn’t perceive this change of character without it being somewhere in his heart.

Six months... anger, to sorrow, to now seeking understanding...

She had put him through the works, and she wanted to heal and mend what she had broken in him.

Eggman and Infinite had succeeded in one thing... torturing this poor boy out of his mind with thoughts of her and her predicament.

Though Infinite had done the same to her, she never fell to his designs... And Sonic? He wouldn’t allow himself to fully surrender either, it wasn’t in his nature. However, for the first time, he was admitting how truly lost he was without knowing what had become of her.

“I had to do something, Sonic.” She admitted, raising her hand to put it gently by his cheek, seeing how truly weak he had become now that he was standing before her, and let his knees sink into the bedding of her gurney.

“But... why? I never asked you to sacrifice yourself for me!” he dipped his head, not willing to show her his distraught.

She smiled a little wider, happy to see he hadn’t forgotten what a big risk she had taken for his sake.

“To save you, Sonic,... Was to save the resistance.” she cupped his chin to lift it up so she could press her forehead to his own. “You never needed to ask me, Sonic... and you never should... I will always rush, headfirst, into whatever danger may present itself... if it means I can keep you in my life.”

Sonic’s arms twitched, as though wanting to embrace her.

Seeing him hold back so much, his expression being hidden by his pride, she took the initiative and wrapped herself lovingly around his waist, before flinching at the pain from her bruising.

Gripping her arm, he dug his forehead into her shoulder, still refusing to show her what was happening to him through his face.

“I’ll make Infinite pay for this..” he darkly declared, “I won’t let Eggman get away with this either...”

“I don’t ask for revenge, Sonic.” Amy held him closer, “I just wanted you to be okay.”

“Like I don’t feel the same way!?” Sonic finally blurted out, “Let me fight for you now that I have you back again! We all want too! We-!”

She put his hand up from her shoulder, traced it passed her collar bone which made go silent as he moved back to see what on earth she was doing, and then placed it to her throat.

Hello! Before I open my prompts back up, I wanted to write more of my own original prompt ideas! Please enjoy, and Commissions will open March 17th for all! (Not prompts! These are paid!)

Enjoy~

Prompt:

Amy’s hands lifted her up from her desk, the rebellion forces were still cleaning up the area from Eggman’s left behind robot trash, but Sonic’s cheery face on the screen made her even more anxious about joining them!

“OooOOOooohh,” she let out her iconic whimper as she shook her cute, bundled hands in small wiggles of envy, “But why can’t I go out and fight too?!”

“There, there, Amy! I promise you, you’ll have your time in the spotlight.” Sonic’s encouragement never failed to please her as his face shone on the communication line. He smiled down to her, clearing seeing how much she missed the battlefield. “Ever since we took down Eggman, you’ve been itching to get out of that dark, blocky room, right?”

“More than you know~” Amy sluggishly sank back down into her office chair, surrounded by metal and rock, she just wished to be useful on the other side of the screen, this time around! “Can’t you convince Knuckles to let me out?”

“Haha! No problem! I won’t even break a sweat.” he gave her a thumbs up. “But we really need you on communication lines right now. You’re a good organizer. Without you, I don’t think Knuckles would remember his lefts from his rights!”

She sighed as her head slumped against the cool steel where her control panel was. Her eyes batted slightly in her weariness, but she didn’t think he could see her that well, so she didn’t mind emoting just a tiny bit~<3

“Huh? Amy? You still there?”

Just as she assumed, she was out of sight from the camera and looked fondly up at him.

“...Just a little while ago...” she began, “I kept a silent dream in my heart... that you were still alive and well. Fighting the good fight, just somewhere far away from us...”

His expression changed and he held a more serious look, “Silent, huh..?” he then broke it and chuckled. “I was always fighting in my heart, Amy. Infinite just gave me a bit of a farther fight then I wanted.” he was mentioning his entrapment on the moon, which still stung at Amy’s core.

“Chaining you up? That’s like... a crime against nature.” She hugged her arms, sitting up again as her face came back into view for Sonic’s camera.

His face lit up at seeing her again, he seemed to not like that she was out of the shot for so long. “Yeah... It bit. Pretty hard. But I never worried about you all. I knew you could do it... even without me, I never once stopped believing in my team.”

Amy looked up as though melting at his gaze and swooning at his words as her body swayed a bit down, relaxing with a gentle glide into a new state of being.

She had missed this~ his calming presence and his kind, unbreakable spirit.

“Now, who does that remind me of?” She teased, wanting a little personal praise from her hero.

Her eyes darted away in a sneaky way, and Sonic gave her a sly look in return.

“Well, you’re not half bad yourself at keeping some faith and hope in these dark times, huh, Amy?” He played along, giving her jitters that sent a swarm of butterflies lose in her stomach. They seemed to migrate northward up to her chest, before fluttering to land on her cheeks, giving her a honey glow.

“I can’t resist you~” she admitted, placing her hands up to attempt to hide her blushing cheeks.

Sonic gave her a big grin, but his shyness got the better of him and he looked away, “Aw, come on, Amy... You make this too easy...” he seemed a little embarrassed now but that only made Amy even more overjoyed at his return.

“Ever since you got back, you’ve been really grateful for your friends... You even went so far as to spend individual time with everyone.” she ducked her chin down slightly, a desperate plea in her eyes for him to remember. “I’ve been kinda wondering... if I go out on the battlefield again... will I also receive that special, limited Sonic time?”

“Huh?” Sonic refocused himself back to the screen, having scratched his nose with an awkward look of giddy pride in making her day, but now he seemed to be pleasantly surprised by her statement. “I hadn’t really noticed I’ve been doing that... Guess I just missed everyone and our adventures together.” He gave her a wink, “Sure thing, Amy! I think your time with me is far past overdue!”

She covered her mouth, “You mean it..? Really!?” she was overwhelmed with springtime in her heart, feeling the butterflies suddenly launch off again and this time, fly over fast winds as flowers bloomed all along the insides of her skin. It was a warm sun, her heart, and it was all thanks to Sonic’s sunshine.

He seemed to notice this, a sudden, unconditional joy in her. “Gosh, Amy. You really do make me feel like-...” He stopped himself, but then huffed a bit through his nose to look down from the camera, closing his eyes. “Ah, nevermind. That’s just the hero-worship talking, right?” He looked back up, “Don’t get too excited, it’s not a date or anything...” he looked away, “Yet...” he muttered, “Knowing you, I suppose you would count it as ‘alone time’ away.” he sighed. “Alright, call it what you want, but I can’t help and be a little excited to see ya. In the flesh again, this time.” he cut off the communication.

Her eyes blinked as her hands came down from her head leaning on them in doting pleasure. But now... it seemed that his words weren’t adding up. “Hero Worship? Oh, Sonic... It’s you I can’t help but want to marry... poor guy~” she spun in her chair, leaning back in it. “He thinks its because he’s such a hotshot hero that I can’t resist him... But this next time we’re alone together-!” she jumped from her chair, looking more determined than ever. “I’ll prove to him with my love that no matter what hedgehog he chooses to be! I’ll stand by his side no matter what!” she punched the air a few times, then summoned her hammer and started swinging wildly, “Hyah! H’up! Hyahhh!” she seemed overly jazzed about the idea of fighting alongside Sonic, getting time for just them two~<3

Daydreams occupied most of her mind that day... but the day dragged on... and soon, she became overly exhausted and that beautiful, wonderful springtime slowly drifted into the late hours of the night.

The butterflies became slow-moving fireflies against the dark landscape of her inner-emotions. They flickered, like her fleeting moments of energy where she’d find herself dozing off and having to slap her cheeks twice to keep herself awake. They gently grazed against the flowers who once shook in mighty winds of ecstasy. But the moonlight coming from her eyes watching Sonic’s communication line streamed down a blue hue that gave her some hope.

“Soon, Amy Rose. Don’t fear.” she comforted herself, realizing she hadn’t heard from Sonic in hours. She leaned back up, checking the other lines and seeing everyone was still on their calculated routes and missions, doing fine and not needing her instruction or to be the middle man in their planning.

“Sonic’s here now~” she cooed, lightly skimming the buttons before reaching her own hand.

Another daydream... what if her hand was Sonic’s hand? What if... ever so gently he...

She lifted her hand and tried to hold it, then smiled weakly and squeezed it. She laughed, kicking up her feet in her excitement and getting a rush of energy again, like a frog leaping into the stream of her nerves.

“Ahh, haha! Okay! Just work through the night! You’ll be out on the field with Sonic in no time!” she once again pressed the palm of her hands against her cheeks, light pats, and then narrowed her sights upon the dull work schedule she had for herself... currently, anyway.

The next day.....

A flat line on Sonic’s communication channel.

Amy was fast asleep at the wheel, so to speak.

However, Sonic was striding into base with a howl of cheers for him. The forces were stoked to have their trademark hero back, and better than ever! He was planning to leave the base soon in search of where Eggman had gone, but until then, he continued down the building of praising fans, hopeful recruits, and squealing girls.

He waved a bit, just living it up, before Knuckles shook his head beside him. “You really let the fame get to your head, don’t’cha, Sonic?”

“Fame? Fortune? What are we talking about?” Pretending to be spacey about it, he noticed a young child run out of the crowd and hand Sonic a piece of paper and pen. The poor thing huffed and puffed, probably having fought through the whole crowd to get to him, and clearly had been rescued from some of the surviving towns and cities.

He smiled warmly and took the items, combining them to create his unique signature, and ruffled the kid’s head before handing him back the new treasure. The child gasped, as though amazed his plan had actually worked, hugged the piece of paper with Sonic’s name scribbled carefully onto it, and took off back into the crowd.

Knuckles couldn’t complain at that, he just watched with a frown, knowing he shouldn’t give Sonic such a hard time after being tortured and gone for so long.

Sonic just watched after the kid, then seemed to nod about a hidden thought.

‘I might be okay having a kid.’ He thought to himself before stretching, ‘Eh, some day.’ he seemed to be shrugging the thought off as quickly as it came, disregarding it as he turned to look back at Knuckles.

“Ah, speaking of which... Hey, Knuckles? Think Amy deserves a bit of a vacation?”

Knuckles seemed shocked by his words, “Speaking of? You didn’t say anything!”

“Ah, I was meaning too.” He kid, putting a hand up to his chin and acting up, “I vaguely remember you saying it was about time she got back into the sunshine. Looking a little pale, maybe?”

“Did I say that..?” Knuckles looked off to the side, doubting himself as Sonic’s ear twitched and a mischievous, trickster grin replaced his once ‘contemplative’ expression.

“Well, sure!” Sonic slung an arm around him, “You even mentioned you felt bad about keeping her cooped up in that underground bunker, working night and day on a computer, for so many long... strenuous... hard hours...”

The acting should have won Sonic an award. At least an Xbox achievement: Duped the Knuckles, yet again.

“Yeah... yeah, she has been working overtime!” Knuckles was easily convinced this was his own words, straight from his own--not oblivious, but totally considerate and aware of people’s needs--heart.

Bless him, he just didn’t know.

“She’s usually so cheery, I should have known better.” Knuckles seemed a bit down about it, so Sonic cheered him up.

He lightly nudged his side, “You did know better...” He winked in his sly deceptions.

“Oh yeah! I did!” Knuckles instantly beefed up his chest and stood tall and proud, “I mean, as the leader, I have to think of everything! Ah, but... who will lead communications if I let Amy go? And where would I send her too..? Hmm...” he put himself into a ‘thinking’ stance, but Sonic smiled fondly to his friend, leaning behind his head so he didn’t see his mouth move.

“I should let Amy go with Sonic.” Sonic whispered, then pretended to whistle in front of Knuckles.

“Ah! I should let her go out on the field, with you, Sonic!” he punched Sonic’s side, moving his looped arm off of him as Sonic looked around as though amazed by this statement.

“Who? Me?” He gestured to himself. “I guess... with you at communications... I’ll be down one man...”

“That’s right! I’ll work communications, and Sonic-” He put a hand to his shoulder, as Sonic continued his innocent game face. “...Give Amy the time she needs. She deserves it.”

Sonic formed an ‘o’ with his mouth, “Gee, Captain Knuckles, I’ll try.” he put his hand to his chest, crossing it over his heart. “I-I won’t let you down, sir!”

“That’s the spirit!” Knuckles patted his back, boasting a hard-hitting laugh. “I’m a genius! That only took a second to figure out!”

“You’re the cleverest man I know, besides Tails, Sonic.” Sonic smirked off to the side.

“Huh?”

“What? I said Knuckles? Didn’t you hear me?” He lightly patted Knuckles’s head, confusing him, before he took off towards the communication room, still waving for the public.

When he opened the door, he could barely contain his excitement, “Long time no actual see, Amy!”

His face then dropped.

Her limp body suddenly rose in a steady beat of a breath, before descending even deeper into her slumber. Her arm dropped off the side and dangled as she was almost close to falling off the chair and counter too.

His eyes scanned her a moment, then the screen, seeing it completely silent on his channel.

His huge grin softened to an empathic smile, and he slowly moved the door to open wider, not bothering to shut it behind him as he was going to daringly rescue her from this awful fate.

He walked up to her with purpose, but as softly as a prince, began to lift her up and carry her bridal style.

“Emm...” She began to stir, and he just politely waited on held breath for her to recognize him.

She blinked her eyes wearily open, and a restrained gasp of awe came out delicately from her tired being. “Sonic..?” Her features fawned in quiet longing. “Am I dreaming again?”

“Only every minute of every hour that ticks by that cruel clock’s glow.” He gently shook his head in a teasing manner, then looked with a bit of a harsh coldness towards the office clock that glowed bright red letters to show the time. “...How long have you been trapped in here, Amy..?” He seemed to get antsy himself, just standing in the dull, lifeless room.

“Sonic..! I missed you... You promised...” Her hand lightly moved up to his cheek, which pulled his momentary distraction back to her, giving her his complete and full attention. “You have to... keep those...”

“At all cost.” his eyes lowered as his head tilt, trying to hold on to her slipping hand as she fell back to sleep. “Oh... Amy...” He sighed out, looking around and getting more and more upset at how long she must have been doomed to work in here.

“...Let’s blow this joint, before I start getting angry.” Sonic joked, but there was a bit of a grumble in his voice that spoke some truth to that comment.

When Amy woke up, she amazed to see that everyone was gathered in the meeting room. She lazily looked up to see that Sonic had placed her ontop of where he sat, letting her lean on his shoulder and chest as she must have taken a well-needed nap on accident.

She blushed as she noticed they were in front of everyone, and Sonic nonchalantly kept up the conversation while having her placed there in his chair.

His arms flopped around, as was his usual style when talking, and when Silver seemed to notice her awake, he smiled to her with a light smile and nod.

Her face like flushed with the red wings of butterflies.

This was... bold for Sonic.

“Then it’s settled.” Knuckles clasped his hands together, wiggling them tighter into place as he seemed to be settling on something she had missed in the conversation. “Tails and I will handle things here. He’s still trying to find out more about alternative dimensions like the one Other Sonic came through. Shadow and Silver will meet up at Blaze’s portal, try and get a reading on how she got here for Tails. Sonic and Amy will lead the Forces and search for Eggman.”

“Not for long, though.” Sonic chimed in, making her slightly turn her head, but trying to disguise the fact that she was awake and attentive now. “I think I’m gonna split after this.”

Her heart dropped. Like the last note at an opera where the chandelier falls onto the stage...

He can’t mean that.

Knuckles dropped his head a moment, “Alright. Last mission then.” Knuckles looked off to the side, then flicked his nose with a slight sniff. “But we could really use you here, pal.”

“I know. But you can use me better with what I naturally do.” Sonic instinctively moved a hand that had been helping hold Amy up beside him and wagged it around like his signature style. “Saving the world my own way. Don’t forget that now, Captain Knuckles.” He lightly joked.

Shadow scolded Sonic a moment but left it at that since Sonic kept cracking out smart-aleck comments and not taking anything seriously anymore.

He raced out of the room with Amy in his arms still and headed for the craft that would hold their men in it.

“...What about... your promise?” She knew he probably had seen that her eyes were open and she was awake, but she was too torn up inside to really have said anything until now.

He looked down as though without a worry in the world, “You act as though this is goodbye. You know I hate those.” He kid again, moving his head up to hers a moment to get her spirits back.

It was a light touch of their cheeks meeting briefly, but it was still enough to get her to smile and giggle again.

“So... I can still be with you? When you leave?”

He didn’t say anything, just jumped from a high place and seemed to glide through the air to the top of the craft.

Once onboard, he headed to the ship’s main control room and noticed Tails fast at the wheel.

He set her down on a couch behind, since the room was modeled to be a captain’s courters as well, and began small talk with him.

Annoyed that they weren’t ‘alone’ like she thought Knuckles had said, she placed her shoulders square, hands in her lap, and pouted in silence. Seeping with fury, she was surprised to see Sonic not even look at her as he came over to the couch.

“-which is why I feel you weren’t meant for ground-control, Tails.” He suddenly sat down and put an arm around Amy.

‘...Hold up.’ She narrowed her eyes at his actions. ‘Is he really thinking this is enough?’ she nudged him away, flicking her head away from his stuck-up being and huffed angrily.

She didn’t know how he was reacting to it until she felt something flop across her lap.

Gasping, she saw him carrying on the conversation with Tails, a hand up to hold up his head, and his body laid out across her lap.

Her face exploded with red lava upon her cheeks, but he acted as though nothing was wrong.

One hand was relaxing on his hip, angling his elbow up, and one leg was also up as though his typical ‘I’m just chilling here’ expression.

When she continued to battle against his ridiculous idea of ‘being together’ he finally stopped his conversation with Tails and scooted down, laying his quills to the side so his head was now on her lap, staring up at her without poking holes into her.

“And as for Amy and me-” he began, this time, giving her a straight look right through her eyes and into her soul. “We’ll be out and about for a while. Sound good, Tails?”

Tails just sighed, “You’re being inconsiderate of her feelings, Sonic... She clearly doesn’t want you toying with her like this.”

Amy puffed up her cheeks. That was the word! Toying with!

If he intended to keep his promise, he should just take her on a real date! Of course, she wanted to swing her hammer again, enjoy the nice warm air and help the rebellion fix up the place... but at least do it like you mean it!

She shoved him off her lap, causing him to tumble before getting up and huffing away.

“Ouch...” Sonic rubbed his chest a second, getting up before tapping his head where he felt a slight ‘bump’ coming through. “I thought she’d think of it as a treat.”

He dusted himself off, hearing her slam the door. It made him flinch, but he rolled his eyes and got up. “What’d I do this time?”

“Well, your actions were what she’s wanting, Sonic... but your timing couldn’t be more off.”

Amy clasped her hands together outside the door again, mimicking her daydream of them holding hands.

‘You’re not meaning it.’ she told herself, leaning against the door with a sorrow that seemed to make her inner spring rain. ‘If you do something like that... do it because you want to be with me, not because you’re planning to leave me... not again... I don’t wnat to be alone!’

She suddenly glared and turned around, about to swing the door open but Sonic had already done so, making her stumble into his arms.

He smiled at the pleasant surprise.

She looked up from her face being squished against his chest, blinking innocently.

“You’re totally right, Tails,” Sonic called back, though Tails was unaware of the situation as he drove the large ship.

“Huh?”

“She does deserve more of me.” he gave her a mischievous grin. “I’ll just Amy to the location where the abandoned Eggman fleet is attacking myself. Don’t wait up!”

He scooped her up with one arm, draping her over his shoulder in one fell swoop, and jumped off towards the ground in seconds flat.

While screaming on the way down, she felt Sonic grab one of her flailing hands, intertwine their fingers together, and land with her in a charming dip.

“Shall we save the rest of the world?” It was enough of an apology to get that he really just wanted to make her happy, and didn’t realize how it was coming off to her.

The gushing of affection for him flowed like a dam breaking loose, and she leaned up to embrace him from the dip, holding on tightly this time.

Even if he was going to leave soon... it wasn’t forever, and this time... he was making time for her and her alone.

“I really can’t resist you... Sonic The Hedgehog!!!”

“Oh good! Cause you’re a lot cuter when you’re happily swooning over me than being mad at me.” he lightly returned the hug the best he could, but there was some awkwardness to him again.

Shy? Already?

And she had hoped those days were gone but...

She giggled, moving away but lifting her arms to be around his neck.

“And you’re cute when you’re shy, too. Sonic~ But-!” she quickly put her fingers to his mouth, “Maaaaybe keep the ‘bold new Sonic’ just between us two~” she flicked his nose as rascally as she could and with a wink, she confidently trailblazed ahead of him.

He was left blinking and looking after her.

“Wow!” he shook his head and smiled, racing to scoop her up and carry her off again. “You don’t change!” he laughed.

THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY! lol I melted in my chair XD

I know, I know, shhhhh~<3 Everything’s okay, I’m just working on commissions right now and then I’ll be getting to prompts and fanfictions right away!

I’m really excited to work on my stories again, trust me! It’s challenging to write other people’s stories (although super fun!) but I do miss my own fanfictions!

I have a lot of plans, plots already written down, and a ton of ideas for the continuing chapters of my fanfictions!

As for Dark Sonic Forces... I’M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!

It’s my first ever make-out story and I really was nervous about it!!! I’m glad so many enjoy the dark emotions along with Sonic’s perception on things! Please look forward to a whole new conflict as Amy’s emotions have yet to reach their arch/peak!

Infinite is eeevvvilll and that’s why I love to write him XD He’s fun!

For a teaser trailer...

I’ll write a little thing...

Previously, Sonic had chosen to remain numb and willingly give in to feeling nothing in exchange for power and to push pass his problems and worries of inferiority that Infinite kept targeting.

Was he good enough for his friends? The world?

Was he even enough for anything anymore?

When the dark power began to spread, only one thing seemed to force him out of him, make him want to grab onto the light again, and allow himself to feel.

It’s hard to not have any feeling... or to not want to feel anything... when it’s a kiss.

After finding his way through his emotions, deciding they were worth holding onto after all and refusing to lose himself to the temptation of numbness and power again, he fought his inner-battles and the dark power could no longer possess him.

Eggman’s plan and torture seemed pointless now... unless..?

What was in Amy that gave her such a unique way of pulling others out of darkness?

Infinite and Eggman will return to plant a new dark plan, and this time, will a kiss be enough..?

Stay tuned~<3 ;)c

This is a PG-13 fanfic, so no, nothing truly bad is going to happen XD But it does make you wonder...

I had a daydream about Sonic subtly falling for Amy and I-

Prompt:

A loud concert is playing in the middle of a reconstruction project that has just quit for the day. The Forces have been working on rebuilding the destruction Eggman’s takeover had caused, but Sonic and the gang thought it only right to award a night for the volunteers who have been helping since the start.

It was a night of fun and loud music, and even Sonic starred as lead guitarist for the occasion. Many came to see, and sitting on a raised wall, the other side half destroyed but being rebuilt again, was Amy Rose.

She was simply just laughing with a few friends she had made, but would constantly look over to see Sonic playing.

At first, he didn’t care to notice. But as the night and activities continued, he would look over when the beat wasn’t specifically on the guitar at the moment, and see her talking with them.

Every now and then, his eyes would linger just a second longer, looking at how her smile never changed and how she really did seem to be enjoying herself.

When she looked over to him, an excitement spread across her face and her shoulders hunched up, waving enthusiastically to him but trying to keep it subtle as best she could.

It would make him smile too, before returning to looking down at where his fingers were strumming.

The rift was coming, and suddenly there was a burst of energy from Sonic, because when he looked back over to her, her attention was on some dudes that had just wandered over with beverages. One slipped and Amy laughed, dodging the spilling liquid before turning her gaze back to the stage.

Sonic raced to the center and started dancing, going wild and making himself the center of attention for all to see and enjoy.

“What’s he doing?” a girl in the crowd called out, amazed but loving this new energy that was sparked in him.

He raced around on the ground, still playing hard before arching his back and jumping up to slam a string that made the crowd go ballistic. 

When the song finally ended, he actually found it funny that he exerted himself there, and looked back to Amy while he held his victory pose.

With the crowd going wild around him, it wasn’t shocking to see Amy on her feet, clapping excitedly and blushing as she cried out, “Go, Sonic!”

He smiled and closed his eyes, turning back to the screaming crowd.

He just liked having her praise again, he supposed.

He didn’t think much into it, until he came over to her later, getting up on the raised wall with a mound of earth behind it, connecting it to the once grassy park.

“Hey, there. Amy!” Sonic sat beside her, lifting a knee up and looking over the crowd.

“Sonic!” She placed her cup to the side and covered her face slightly with her fists, “You were amazing! Hehe~ I haven’t seen you play like that in a long time!”

“Yeah... I went a little crazy on that last bit, didn’t I?” He rubbed under his nose but looked up as though a tad bit embarrassed. “I haven’t really had a chance to talk to ya since the whole ‘saving the world’ thing again.” he rolled his eyes and let them rest to her, placing his wrist down on his raised knee and facing her a little more.

“Now that mention it...” She scooted closer, but Sonic just looked a bit awkward about it, looking away as though knowing this would happen, eyes drooping before smiling back to her as she continued. “I have missed that, actually.” She gave him another beautiful smile and he was happy to see she hadn’t changed too much.

“Well, that’s just the calls we have to make in life.” He looked back over the party, another band having jumped on to start some energy back in the crowd again. “I had my heart set on fighting Infinite... the things he said made him powerful didn’t sit well with me... I had to show him he wasn’t as strong as he thought he was.” Sonic took on a moment of reflection, something scarcely seen in the young hedgehog. “In the end, I really did prove my point.” he winked to her, “Friends and free choice, heart and the strength of one's convictions... the will of mind and peace of the soul... I think those things really upset him because he didn’t understand’em. Makes you kinda pity the guy.” Sonic shook his head, but in Amy’s eyes, he looked amazingly handsome and noble.

She suddenly burst out into another giggle, catching him off guard as he looked back to her.

“That’s why I love you so much, Sonic The Hedgehog!”

For the first time... in a long time... Sonic felt those words come anew.

Amy’s face turned tender, still full of life and admiration for him, as her words filled him with pride and another feeling he couldn’t quite place... but it was pleasant and made him feel good about himself.

“You’re always following your heart, wherever it takes you! You don’t hold back anything and always strive to do what you feel is right. And you’re usually always right! I hope that some of that...” She looked away and down, pondering out loud now as she placed a hand to her heart. “Rubbed off on me after all these years.”

Her sudden kindness and wonder for him made him pause in another moment of astonishment. Throughout his life, he had forgotten how unexpected Amy could be sometimes.

Sure, she could be predictable. But every time he thought that she would do something to completely take him aback and gawk a moment in awe. She was interesting, mysterious at times, but that always kept him guessing, and he kinda liked the gentle thrill it gave him.

There was always something he could be curious of when it came to Amy...

She could never be boring, and she never made him feel boring either.

He made a small ‘o’ with his mouth as his eyes went a bit wider at her response, but then he chuckled to himself, catching her attention as she looked back up at him with the same expression.

“What?”

“Heh-heh... I was just about to say the same thing to you.” He smiled gently back to her, and the look of affection in his eyes caught her heart into a swirl of ecstasy.

It had also been a long,... long time since he had said anything like that to her.

In a girlish glee, she kicked her legs up and cutely covered her face, flailing a moment before falling backwards.

“Ah!” Sonic saw her fall and quickly reached back for her, “Amy!...gahh...” he saw that the pile of dirt had caught her faster, and looked a bit sheepish at her wiggling around in the dirt with an open, exclaiming mouth that just shrieked of flattered joy.

Her legs kicked up by the side of the wall next to him, making him turn and shake his head, facing her half-way again. “Really? All I did was compliment ya, Amy...” it was a light tease, and she peeked through the crack in her fingers towards him.

“I know~ but it was from your heart. And as you said before, that’s what really counts!”

He found himself reflecting on her words when-

He shook his quills and jumped off the wall to her, it was more like a hop with the shallow distance, but he offered her his hand. “Calm down, Amy. I wasn’t trying to start any-WOAH!”

She laughed and tugged on his offered arm, jumping up as he pulled to retrieve some balance of stable ground again.

“Don’t say that! I won’t like it as much if you do...” she swayed her body sweetly and held both hands to his own.

Hunched over, he looked at the ground and then his hand, then her face, and then slowly rose up.

“If you take advantage of a girl’s heart... that wouldn’t really be very charming... would it?” she let go of his hand after holding it for a minute, then advanced towards him, boldly. She kept her chin down and placed her hands behind her back before rolling her head up and tilting her elbow slightly to catch it’s ending curve.

“...Heh.” he had moved away in a moment of shyness, but suddenly turned his head, gaining a second wind, and decided to really let his heart carry him wherever it felt was right.

“You know, Amy... I wouldn’t always push forward so steadfastly if I were you.” He teased, suddenly straightening out his back, puffing his chest out as a figure of speech, and walked with certainty towards her.

The sudden confidence emanating from him took her back and she forfeited her ‘high ground’ with a blush of retreat.

“Because you never know when I might just-” he took a powerful step forward, but it was calculated and slow, causing Amy to falter slightly in her flirty stance. “Take a bold step forward too.” he smiled, and the sudden intimacy with the gap between them closed slightly by Sonic’s initiation, caused Amy to falter again and hold her hands to the side of her reddened face.

“Eep..!” she squeaked, which absolutely made Sonic shake his head his puzzlement.

“...W-what?”

He burst out laughing, “You’re too much, Amy! Haha!”

She squealed in happiness again, covering her face and moving away, shaking her body. “Y-you caught me off guard!”

He peeked back at her through squinted eyes, arms crooked in his snickering laughter at her withdrawal from the situation, finding her humorous reaction rather cute.

He was called back to the party, and looking off after the voice, Sonic smiled and was ready to return to normal day-to-day adventuring again.

But Amy pouted and pushed her arms straight down to her sides. “Ohhhh, why do they always do that?”

“Do what..? Amy...” he looked over his shoulder, his eyes drooping as he admired her silly charms.

“You haven’t noticed?” she looked slightly disappointed towards him, losing her moment of frustration. “They pull you away anytime we’re together. It’s like the universe doesn’t want us socializing. Hmph.” she whined slightly, but it didn’t bother Sonic.

He snickered again, “Well, not everyone can have this precious ‘one-on-one’ time with me.” Sonic joked, grinning widely behind her. “Maybe there’s a universe out there that could always spare five more minutes.”

“Minutes would be wonderful.” Amy touched the side of her cheek, falling into it as though desperately lovesick. “It took you away for so long last time... can’t I will five more minutes into existence?”

With that, Sonic felt something stir in his heart.

Without so much as a second thought, only a snarky comeback in his smirk, he sped around and zoomed up to Amy.

“And what would you will to happen...? in five minutes..? Amy...?”

The air stood still. It was as though Amy’s spoken wish had suddenly been granted by hers truly.

She felt frozen in time as the party dissipated as background noise. Their eyes locked on each other’s, and a feeling of warmth and peace escalated in those precious moments.

“I’d...” she stopped herself, seeing him slightly pull up and away from their close interaction.

She was losing him... she had to think fast!

She hadn’t noticed... but his hand had stopped momentarily, it had began moving to reach for her, but paused to let her answer him first.

“...For you to want to stay with me.”

Another long pause, before-

Prompt:

While rummaging through the old ruins, now that the area was safely secured under the protection of the Freedom Army—also known as the Forces—Amy followed Sonic and Tails as they began digging up his family’s old home.

Amy snuck by detection with expert skill, keeping her distance but hearing an awful lot of what they were talking about.

“What happened to them?” she had just come in on the conversation when Tails spoke up, finally close enough behind a half shaven down wall to hear it properly.

She carefully leaned her body against it, spreading her arms out to hold herself up while she tilted her head to their voices.

Sonic had asked Tails to come with him… she was little jealous he asked only Tails to accompany him, and no one else.

“They were the first people I evacuated, Tails.” Sonic’s voice was slightly cheery, and for the setting, it didn’t quite fit right. But Amy figured Sonic was always… usually happy, anyway.

“Ah. I never have met them.”

Amy tried to scoot closer to the wall. She heard someone toss something back to the ground, a grunt of defeat it seemed.

“Then go and met them. Ah… none of this stuff is salvageable… my mother will be furious.”

Amy mouthed the words, ‘MOTHER?!’ before leaning too eagerly against the weak wall and having it tumble with a loud crash as she stumbled away from it.

As the wall fell to pieces, the two boys turned in surprise before lowering their eyelids in annoyance at seeing Amy had been spying on them.

She lifted her foot up and tried to huddle into a ball while standing up, wanting to withdraw out of embarrassment. All she could muster was some light chuckling… as Tails shook his head.

“Haha… Couldn’t stay away, could you?” Sonic smiled, taking it very lightly and just continued to look around. “While you’re here, stick your nose around and find anything useful! Might as well, right?” he turned from the two and continued to search the rubble for anything valuable.

Tails turned to Sonic, not too amazed he was letting this slide, but sighing at the fact that he wasn’t going to say anything.

“Should I scold you?” Tails looked back to Amy, giving her a joking expression. “Or should we have just assumed this would happen?” He chuckled to himself, also being in light spirits and continuing to search. “This is Sonic’s family’s home. He’s been asked to look for anything that wasn’t destroyed. We’re having some trouble with it though…”

As they moved things, Amy quickly felt apologetic. “I’m sorry.” She bent her ears back, stepping carefully through the debris and beginning to crouch down and start digging too. “I just wanted to help…”

“Help? Or know?” Sonic turned back, giving her an eye. “Haha! You know, curiosity isn’t always a good thing, but boy-“he got up, holding a frame in his hand and looking as if he’d smelled something good as he spoke. “It’s hard to resist~”

“You say that as if you love being curious.” Now Tails and Sonic were off having a lovely conversation while Amy was excluded once more.

They laughed and joked like good old friends do… while Amy lifted boards off of broken tea sets and had them fall against drums… feeling unwanted but still here… still wanting to be closer to Sonic in anyway she could.

She had no idea he had living relatives… it almost made her cry to think that they may not have known Sonic was presumed dead, or worse, never heard the good news…

It was then that Amy looked to the fireplace, a big and well-set chimney still halfway holding on to its majesty.

It’s as though it demanded the war to give it respect.

She was amazed by it, standing up and looking at how massive it was, and how lucky it must have been to have survived Eggman’s invasion.

She then noticed something on the ground. Picking it up, a field of dust hung over the picture frame, keeping it from view as she blew on it and saw a beautiful, purple haired woman’s face.

She was taken aback by the astonishing beauty of the elder woman, and began wiping the frame with her gloved hand, trying to see more.

A green-haired boy… looking nothing like Sonic, but having his quills stick out in thin lines like a rocker. He looked more similar to her than Sonic…

Then a girl next to Sonic, her quills were styled like a mohawk. She draped the first, brushed out pack of quills into a regular hairdo but kept Sonic’s iconic three quills in the back. She let nothing hang down on her sides like Amy did, and honestly, Amy thought the picture looked more like a concert signed flyer than a family photo.

However,…

She traced her finger against the elegant woman’s face. How she held herself, it looked refined and kind… like a queen.

“Are these…” she turned towards the joking two. “Your family?”

Sonic and Tails had their arm around the other’s shoulder, still laughing about something before they stopped, and Sonic smiled over to Amy.

He let Tails go and walked over to her, “Yeah… Yeah, that’s them.” He took a deep breath in as he held a hand out for the frame, and Amy stepped aside so that only one of her hands could hold the other side too.

“Your mother’s lovely.” She voiced, looking tenderly to her. “I always wanted to be a woman like that.”

Sonic blinked his eyes, turning to Amy with a look of surprise. “No kiddin’.” He stated.

“I would love to meet them.” She swayed her body cutely, daydreaming as she stared longingly towards the family photo, tucking her other—free arm—behind herself.

“Well, well. Sonic always said he’d only marry mother.”

Sonic’s quills stood on end, turning around and hunching down when he recognized who it was. “When did you guys get back..?”

“Oh, don’t act like you’re not happy to see us!” the girl in the photo swiped her hand out in a bit of a ghosted snap, and then held her arms out to Sonic, walking over to him.

“Ahh~ Look at you! Alive and well!” she didn’t hug him though, just turned her open arms into a shrug. “What? You think you can go off and die without asking our permission?” she teased as Sonic rolled his eyes.

“You know I never would.” He grinned.

She leaned her head in, “What? Die or ask permission first?” she raised an eyebrow and then ruffled Sonic’s forehead quills. “You’re still as stubborn as the day we let you lose on the world!”

“I believe I did that.”

Amy was confused by the girl’s presence before she turned to see the purple woman in her photo.

She was being helped by the green-haired boy, who was using his hand and arm to give her stability as they crossed the debris to get to everyone.

“Is she okay?” Tails flew to them, also willing to help. “Nice to meet you, you must be Sonic’s mother.”

“What a kind gentleman.” She smiled sweetly, and also took his hand as she walked along the debris. “My, my… and I only cleaned just yesterday.” She looked around before her eyes rested on Amy, also looking curiously to her.

“What a beautiful young lady.” His mother spoke out, and Amy’s face all at once grew bashful.

“Oh geez~ You’re too kind!” Amy’s hands immediately went up to the sides of her blushing cheeks, turning left and right, not sure what to do with herself but deeply thankful for the compliment. Especially by someone… as pretty as the woman was. “You’re a real knockout yourself, miss!”

“Oh my, even calling me miss, you sure make quite the friends, Sonic dear.” She winked to Sonic, before being helped to sit against the part of the wall that didn’t fall over from Amy’s spying…

“So, this isn’t Knuckles.” Sonia placed a hand on her hip, “How is he, by the way?” she smiled to Sonic.

“He’s Knuckles.” Sonic folded his arms, but looked happy to see his family again. “And that’s Tails. My best friend.”

“Ah, no. You mean you voted me out?” the green-haired hedgehog shook his head low, looking to his brother as if he’d been betrayed, placing his hand to his heart after his mother was gently placed on her seat. “I’m heartbroken.”

“You’re my brother. But you can send me a postcard when you get over it.” Sonic and him walked over to each other, clasping fist and bro-hugging—coming together, patting the other’s back, and then parting just as quickly.

“What have you been up too? Besides dying, anyway.” The brother was just as sarcastic as his sister, and Amy finally understand where Sonic got it from all these years.

“Both of you, enough with that.” The mother seemed sorrowful and uneasy with those jokes, lovingly holding her arms out for Sonic. “I know you’re not one for open displays of affection, but a mother’s love can’t be limited. Come here…” she gestured him over, pleading almost, but in a way that melted your heart into giving her all she desired.

Sonic walked over and allowed her to cradle his head between her two hands, tugging him gently over to her face so she could kiss his cheek. “Don’t scare me like that again. I know you must do what you feel is right, but feel that letting your mother grow old knowing your happy and well as being right.”

Sonic mouthed the words, ‘Sorry’ and she smiled and kissed his forehead again, finally letting him go after his own hand returned the affection and held her hand a moment upon his cheek.

He bent down and did something so honorable that it even made Amy gasp somewhat.

He looked deep into his mother’s eyes, still pressing her hand kindly against the side of his face and bowed his head to kiss the hand as he removed it.

“I didn’t mean for you to worry.”

His mother’s eyes lowered in absolute love for her son and nodded. “I know you must be placed in harm’s way to protect those that can’t defend themselves. You’re a hero now. And I’m proud of the man you’ve become and are still becoming.” She then looked, with a tad bit of humor, towards her green-haired son. “You all still have a lot to improve, but at least one of you has a job.”

“Mom!”

Everyone laughed.

“I’m hoping to marry.” Sonia shrugged, “So mom doesn’t bother me much, haha!”

“I’m a lead drummer! What more could you want!?” the green-haired boy pleaded, but his mother just shook her head and rolled her eyes.

Sonic got up and nodded to her before walking back over to Tails. “Anything?”

“Nothing. I’m sorry, Sonic. But everything’s been blasted away and left to pieces.” Tails shrugged.

Sonic’s mother just shook her head, “Tails, was it? I understand that we’ve lost everything… but seeing my children are safe and alive… that’s all that really counts.” She then looked to Amy, still dumbfounded by the loving gesture Sonic demonstrated just then. “And we’ve been neglecting this poor girl for too long. What’s with the dropped jaw?” she tilted her head, “Not very lady-like…” she placed her hand up to her mouth, wondering what was wrong with Amy.

Embarrassed, Amy closed her gapping mouth and stood upright, “I=I’m Amy Rose!” she announced as Sonia giggled, walking up to the side of her.

“Is that all? No… defender of the world? Warrior princess—no fancy titles?”

“Let it go, Sonia.” Sonic warned her with a playful look in his eyes, leaning his head to her as she suddenly waltzed over to him, taking the challenge.

“Ohh~ Look who’s talkin’ for the girl…” She stuck her face as close as only a sister could to his own, making him smirk as he saw the fire in her eyes up close and personal. “Something tells me you should let the girl fight her own battles.”

“I would… if it weren’t for the fact that it’s you.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“It’s a ‘leave her alone’, Sonia.”

“Or what? I want to know what she’s made of.”

“The same kinda stuff you are. Flesh and bone.”

“I think you mean titanium and steel.”

“Or just pink fuzz.”

“Take it back, boy.”

“Or what? Gonna ‘90s keyboard me into a music video?”

“Alright, you two. That’s enough.” The mother gave them a look and they pulled away, still nudging the other and giving each other sneaky looks.

“But mom was right, you are pretty.” Sonic’s brother placed a hand to his chin, looking Amy up and down before moving closer. “I’m sure you’ve heard of Sonic’s dashing brother before.” He swiped his hair up and ran his fingers through it, twisting a strand in a flirtatious manner before putting his arm around Amy, keeping her in place.

Amy gasped again, but giggled at his light tease before Sonic stepped forward.

“I can’t take you two anywhere.”

“What? So touchy…” He removed his hands.

“And… you are?” Amy weakly pointed to him, scooting just slightly away, but having a huge smile on her face.

“Babe, you can call me Manic on the Dance Floor.” He struck an old disco pose and thrusted his lower torso out, “Uh-uh-uh-uh~”

“That’s embarrassing.” Sonic laughed.

“You’re literally scaring her away.” Sonia face-palmed herself, shaking her head.

“Manic, do behave yourself.” Sonic’s mother looked back to Amy. “I’m sorry, they’re really good kids, they just like to joke around a lot.”

Amy nodded back to her politely, “I don’t mind! It helps to see where Sonic came from, and where his personality might have started.” She giggled as his mother joined in.

“I’m Aleena.” She offered Amy her hand and Amy quickly rushed over to shake it.

“It’s a pleasure!” Amy politely stated.

“Are you Sonic’s friend too?”

“Or do you want to be more than that?” Sonia stuck her nose into the conversation, leaning forward with a cheeky look in her eyes.

Sonic pulled her back and the two started rough-housing… in their old house, which was in rough shape…

Manic walked over, looked around, saw his old drum set, and started patting a beat on it.

The two reached up and pulled him into the fight, crying out, “I’m a pacifist! I pass-a-fist!” He shot a hook at Sonic and then grabbed his sister’s head into a lock, wrestling with them but not going at it as hard as they were previously fighting before.

Tails shook his head, watching the three. “Are they always like this?”

“Oh no, sometimes they ‘jam out.’”

The two looked at the mother.

Aleena laughed and laughed. “Get it? Like, out of the house? Jam into each other? Oh nevermind.” She looked disappointed that the two didn’t get it and looked to Amy. “Sweetie, could you-um… do your best to break them up?”

“…The band?” Amy sincerely wondered.

All of the sudden, the entire group paused and broke out laughing.
