Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ Believing My Heart ❯ A new light on things ( Chapter 2 )

 

 

 

Tails raced as quickly as he could to the destination he'd agreed to meet Cream and Amy at; A small park with a quiet environment. When he came to an open space, he landed the Tornado2 and began walking. “She said the north side of the park…” he mumbled to himself as he walked along a small stone path. When he had walked far enough north, Tails came across Cream sitting on a bench, alone. He called out to her, catching her attention. “Hey, Cream! I'm here; is everything alright?” She looked in his direction, smiling with relief.

 

“oh hi Tails; thanks for coming! You came fast too… I appreciate it!” She skipped over in his direction, then gave him a light hug. Tails hugged her back but as he did he studied the area. Amy wasn't there… where could she be? “Um, Cream, didn't you say Amy would be here?” Tails inquired, letting go of their hug with a feeling of reluctance. “Oh, she's here,” Cream answered in her soft, high voice, “But just not right here. She's on the other side of the park thinking by a lake. She told me she wanted to take some time to think alone about everything….” Cream frowned. “She's really upset about Sonic neglecting her; she hasn't been normal all week. I've known Amy long enough to see how much she loves him, chases him, adores him—her whole life is him! And as much as she loves him…. I think that… well ….”

 

Cream stopped her sentence. She couldn't say it without feeling guilty; “Amy should let go.” Tails understood though, and nodded his head worryingly. Cream's expression saddened further as she continued conversing with Tails. “You know Sonic the best… you're his best friend. That's why I needed your help. I need to know from you if you think there's any chance at all that Amy could even become boyfriend-girlfriend with him. If not, I want to convince her to give up. I can't stand seeing her this hurt, Tails!” He nodded more, taking in everything Cream had to say. Although he knew Sonic well, he still never knew in which ways his heart worked. He barely understood his own! But, since he was the one who knew Sonic the best, he put himself in his shoes as best he could and saw through his eyes. “Well, Sonic seems to never really show any seriousness, does he… I think he thinks of her as a, well, friend… but I could be wrong; I don't know…” Cream nodded. “I understand Tails. I know you're only being honest. Thanks; I needed to know from you. Knuckles could've told me too, but I thought you'd do the best job.” she Smiled unhappily.

 

~~~~~~Meanwhile By The Lake~~~~~~

 

Amy kicked her foot gently in the tranquil lake, thinking hard about her heart's situation. Running, running, running; no matter what Sonic was always running. She'd seen him from behind more than she had from the front. No matter how fast she ran, She could never catch him. He was always floating away from her heart. She followed him to the ends of the earth; no, chased him to the ends of the earth.

 

“I guess I've been working really hard; most girls my age have more time on their hands, but I'm always after him…” Amy mumbled to herself, kicking her foot up and Causing more of a disturbance in the water. The droplets off water fell down into the clear blue lake, one after another, each following the last. One little blue drop fell the furthest, and another one fell close to it. It landed just behind the first drop, but it rippled exactly like it. Amy found this peculiar. “hmm… just like me… always following…” she sighed a bit. “Come to think of it, I shouldn't be mad at him for running; I'm always running too. After him. I always tell him I love him, but I still don't really seriously confess…”

 

Amy's conversation with herself was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. She stood quickly and turned around, only to find Tails and Cream. Before Amy could say anything, Tails started to talk. “Hi Amy; I heard that you kinda had a bad day; sorry about that…” The young fox scratched the back of his head, trying to find the right words to say to Amy. He couldn't think of how to initiate what they had to say, so Cream took the lead. “Amy, I hope you don't mind that I called Tails, but I thought I should to get his opinion on what we have to say… Tails knows Sonic best, so it only makes sense to ask for his help.” Amy cocked her head to the side, bewildered. “Help? Why do we need Tails to help with Sonic?” She didn't have a good feeling about this. Cream and Tails looked quite serious. “What we mean is, we think that you should, well, chase something more catchable. Someone who can love you the way you deserve,” Cream replied, quietly and slowly. She didn't feel good saying this to her best friend, and she felt worse when her expression started to lose its neutral glow. Tails continued what Cream started. “Cream wanted the opinion of Sonic's best friend, and after talking to me, we've decided that its hurting you too much; you chase after him day by day but I don't know if he could ever be serious. I'm sorry Amy….”

 

Amy turned around slowly so that she was facing the lake. She stared down into the rippling waters, replaying the water droplets splashing down, over and over again. ~Running, running, running after…~ She stared hard down at her reflection.

 

“You guys…. You guys don't know me at all; you don't know Amy Rose,” She said, continuing looking at her reflection. “I can't catch him? Maybe I haven't tried yet? Maybe I've barely begun.” Tales and Cream Stared at the pink hedgehog, trying to figure out what she was trying to say. “Running, running that's what he's always doing; and fighting that stupid eggman. But I run after him too. Maybe I haven't told him yet, seriously told him?” Cream took a step forward. “Um, Amy-“ “That's right; its time for me to do it the right way! I'm going to let Sonic know, seriously, how I feel! And not just tell him to marry me, not just chase him and say I love him, I'm going to tell him once and for all!” Amy swirled around, her dress following after, and smiled brightly at Tales and Cream. “With the help of you guys, and everyone else, I'm going to confess. For real!”

 

Tales and Cream stared, surprised then began to smile. “Yeah, your right Amy! That's the Amy Rose I know and like!” Cream giggled lightly. Tails, who was happy to see today wouldn't end in Tears, said, “I'll help any way you like! I'll go let Rouge and Knuckles know that they should help out, and the Chaotix even, if you think that would be good!” Amy nodded. “Yeah; everyone's help will be needed. If we can lets all meet tonight at my place!”

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile, on Angel Island~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“ha, ha~a,- - ACHOO!!” Knuckles fell off from the stool he'd dosed off on, his sneeze throwing him off guard. “Hmph, that was weird; pretty stupid sneezin' all of a sudden like that. I wonder if it means something….”

 

 

TO BE CONTINUED!!

NEXT TIME: Knux sneezed! Does that mean something? Yes! Someone is talking about you… the whole gang gets together next time, and discusses Amy's plan. Its only a matter of time before things go horribly wrong, though… I hope it doesn't become to angsty… =0
