And please read many, many more of my Sonamy stories~ I‘ll try not to disappoint! ^^ )

Shadow weaved in and out of the forest, Sonic right on his tail the whole while long. The night was young, and so was the energy, but Amy just kept looking back to Sonic’s determined face. ‘Is he really… trying to save me… for the right reasons..?’ she tried not to doubt him, but the events of this odd day had her swimming in heart break. Was the Wind going to reclaim his friend? Or was he going to reclaim his true love? Either way, Amy wanted to get off of shadow’s shoulder, the position was killing her stomach!

“Offph! Okay, Shadow. We had are fun and laughed about it. Now I think it’s time for me to-”

“Hush, he’s gaining on me…” Shadow took a quick look back, seeing Sonic bounce off and use the tree’s to gain momentum on Shadow. “Tck, he’s really stubborn…”

“Well, we want him to get me,…. Right?” Amy looked at little confused and slightly suspicious at Shadow. While hoping it was just Shadow getting the better of Sonic, Amy tried to lift herself up off his shoulder for a moment, but the second she did she was instantly flown off by the wind power of Shadow’s dash.

“Amy!!” he called back, moving to a halt and skidding as he tried to turn around.

“AHHHH!!!!” Amy screamed as she was about to hit the ground with a lot of force.

“AMMYYY!!!”

She closed her eyes, and suddenly felt two arms embrace her. She opened her eyes, and she was spinning within a blue spin dash attack. Sonic landed on the ground with a, “Phew, Close one.” as he wiped off some sweat from his head. He then looked kindly down to Amy, “You alright? Little rose?” he teased.

“S-Sonic…” Amy felt like she was falling in love all over again, why did he have to be so cool?

“Amy…” Shadow slowed in front of the two, looking a bit disappointed in himself. “Why did you do that?!” he angrily spit out. “You could of gotten yourself serious injured..”

Amy was about to respond but Sonic flung an arm out in front of her, after standing up and facing Shadow. “It’s not really your concern about Amy’s safety,… it’s mine.” he stated firmly. “And besides, Amy’s loyalty to me is uncanny, she probably just wanted to get to me. She’s gutsy like that, and although I don’t always like her getting into trouble so much…” he rolled his eyes back to her, making her look down in embarrassment. “As long as she needs me, I’ll always be there to catch her when she falls.”

Amy’s mind raced back to the story she had created, about the Wind and the Rose Petals, she felt Sonic had rewritten the middle of the story. Where the Petals had fallen, but this time, the Petals were saved. Her heart rejoiced silently as a fresh new smile came to be on her face. “Sonic… I’ll always need you…” she whispered, mostly to herself but hoping Sonic could hear her.

“…I know…” was all Sonic said, before turning around with a matching grin on his face to hers.

“I know.”

Shadow clinched his teeth, but then seemed to calm down as he let a sigh come out. “Heh, foolish creatures. You don’t know when to stop hurting each other, cause you keep healing yourselves as well… an endless cycle. How is it anyone can live in this continuous  round of joy and sorrow?” he asked, keeping his head down and eyes closed, a unwilling smile on his face.

“That’s life, Shadow. Ups and down, pros and cons. But the periods of life are different, sometimes… well, sometimes your flying in the wind,” Sonic began, looking back to Amy while speaking before looking to Shadow again. Amy’s head lifted straight up to him, listening now more intently then ever. “Other times, you fall and are trampled on by the feet of this world… however, that doesn’t mean you can’t fly again. The Wind never forgets a friend.”

Amy almost felt like crying.

“And Roses never forget what they love.”

Amy finally let her tears fall, lowering her head, she realized Sonic finally understood her feelings and how she felt for him. And finally, finally! she understood his.

“Hmph, well put Sonic, although I don’t quite get all of it… I see the person who needed to get it the most, did.” Shadow slowly turned around, “Just don’t bruise the Rose again, it’s a pain to have to nurture it back to health again…” he added, before dashing off into the night.

“Heh, who does that guy think he is, huh? Telling me how to treat you, peh!” Sonic ranted a bit before turning around to Amy, seeing her crying he suddenly got worried and bent down to her level. “H-hey, Amy… yo-your not hurt are you? Was it something I said? I’m sorry… please don’t hit me with your hammer…” he begged the last part, the rest was truly authentic. He was concerned, but Amy just wiped her eyes and looked up with a huge smile on her face.

“No, haha, don’t say your sorry…-sniff-… I’m happy.”

Sonic smiled even more, hearing her words.

“Well, that’s good…” he wiped some of her tears away too, making her giggle at his gesture. “Which brings me to the topic I wanted to discuss to you about…” he suddenly got a little more serious as he got up from bending down and walked out toward a cliff near them, looking at the moon slightly rising in the sky. “Tails gave me an idea… and I think you’ll like it..” he turned with that cocky smile on his face again, less like the caring one he had on before.

“W-what is it?” Amy grew slightly excited but also a little curious. She hoped it wasn’t another talk on ‘keeping your hands to yourself’ or something like that.

“Amy… what would you say to a deal?” he looked to her with a proposition, and waited for her response.

“A-a deal? What kinda deal?” now she was intrigued.

“How about a deal, that allows you and me to be… oh let’s say… ‘better acquainted’ without the worry of the world on us. You know, I am a hero, and I have a duty to uphold.” he suddenly turned around, “and an image…” he muttered silently before turning back around to her.

“How would you say to being my ‘secret’ girlfriend?”

Amy’s mouth dropped.

“There is a catch….So, don’t get too excited..”

Amy shut her open mouth.

“If I am to have you, and you to me. I have a series of ‘request’ as it will.”

Amy knew what this was, and she pouted. This was the ‘No touchy, feely; Hands to yourself, don’t hug me in public, etc.’ speech. But for once in her life, she didn’t mind hearing it again…

A few days, The gang had heard that Eggman was up to no good again. And so, Sonic the hedgehog was on the scene! The battle had subsided and Eggman was having his tissy-fit about losing again…

“No, NO, NO! how could I possibly have lost again!?!?” typical tantrum, as expected. Just like any ordinary day…

“I mean, my last plan was flawless, but you skipped out on me, Sonic!? Where were you anyway?! don’t you know how disappointed I was? In fact, you’ve been ditching me a lot lately.. What’s occupying your time all of a sudden, Sonic?” Eggman grew suspicious, but Sonic just rubbed his finger under his nose and winked to him.

“Wouldn’t you like to know, Egghead. But I’ll tell you one thing, it’s a lot better than trashing your worthless scrap metal around.” he teased, making Eggman flip off into another rant again.

“You did it, Sonic!” Tails came whirling over, and landed a little ways away from him. “That was awesome!”

“Couldn’t have done it without you, buddy!” Sonic gave Tails a thumbs up, and Tails smiled warmly at the compliment.

“Heh, easy as always.” Knuckles added, pounding his fist together. “But, uh… Hey, Sonic… should you be taking off about now..? ‘You know who’ will be running up any minute now..” Knuckles warned Sonic, but both Sonic and Tails just rolled their eyes.

“Oh, yes. That. The creature whose name shall never be spoken of around me. I best be off then.” Sonic teased humorously, finding it funny that Knuckles hadn’t caught on yet, however, it was a secret, and it was great that Eggman didn’t know about it either.

“Wh-what? What’s so funny, Tails?” Knuckles looked really confused as Tails just laughed and laughed.

“Oh, haha, nothing, Knuckles. Nothing at all~” he cutely put his hands behind his back and walked away, acting innocent and unknowing.

“SOOONIIIICCCC!!”

Amy rose braced herself, usually, when she called, a figure would be running away from her. But these times… were quite different then then…

A gust of wind picked up, and Amy saw only a blurr, sweeping her off her feet as she giggled, and raced off to catch the last minutes of sunset together.

As the two landed, Sonic plopped down on her lap, yawning. “Had a good day..?”

“Long, waiting for you…” Amy slightly whined, but only playfully.

“Aw, come on. I have to trash Eggman’s plots every now and again. It’s not like my whole life is dating you here and there..”

Amy rolled her eyes, “You barely sit down with me, but when you do it makes up for the times you don’t.” she smiled and stroked his blue quills.

But now was the moment of truth, Amy had put this off for a while, and now she had to ask.

“Sonic…?”

“Y-ep.”

“Do you…” Amy looked away for a moment, a blush coming on her face.

Sonic blinked his eyes for a moment, then realized what was happening and looked up at Amy, a little scared at what was coming…

“…” Amy sighed, and then changed her question. “Want to marry me, now?” she playfully asked.

“….heh.” Sonic noticed the dodge, and at first was relieved, but then concerned. “No, no, I don’t.”

Amy pretend to be upset and pouted, trying to gently push him back on her lap but he got up.

“…Amy… ask.” he sat next to her, looking into her eyes and making her feel slightly nervous for some reason.

“A-ask what? I already did-” Sonic placed a finger on her lips.

“No, the first question. Ask that one.”

Amy began to blush and get even more nervous, why was this? This shouldn’t be so hard… but after the few days of bliss, shouldn’t she be able to ask this question with no fear?

“Don’t worry, just ask it.” Sonic reassured her, and took her chin to pull her face back up to his.

“…Ask me…”

“…Do… Do you love me..?

“I love you, Amy rose.”

The sun had finally set, when the two shared there first, most precious, kiss.

And the Wind took the hurt Rose Petal, and because she never stopped believing in him, he never left her side. And thus ends the story, however, the love will never end. For the two will never leave each others embrace again…
