SonShadAmy Final

Thinking Shadow would only be at the most obvious place, the speedy hedgehog ran as fast as he could to the old oak tree in Central park, in hope of settling things with him. He came to a slow and steady stop, and began walking up to the tree in front of him.

Upon hearing a crack of a twig, the black hedgehog looked down, from where he was sat. ' Shit, I knew I shouldn't have come her-' " Hey Shadow, Ughh… can we talk ? " Sonic shouted from below. He sniffed, but not because he was crying, but because he knew this was going to be interesting.

" Amy sent you ? " he muttered, just loud enough to hear. " Listen it isn't about Amy.. well that's not exactly what I mean.. just what I mean to say is that I'm sorr-" " Don't think because now you like her, you can come and say sorry to me, the one who was there for her when you weren't " he said, jumping down from the tree, in front of the confused hedgehog.

" Hey, I'm not making her choose " the blue one said defensively putting his hands up. " No of course not. I'm not accepting your apology. If Amy wants to talk, and choose between us, get her to come and look for me, instead of sending a suck up " he muttered.
" Hey im not suckin' up to anyone! Plus Amy's in the hospital, because YOU decided to walk in and punch me ! " the blue hedgehog shouted in defense.

" You deserved it, you pig. " " Shadow don't make me have to fight you again " " Oh bring it on hedgehog." Shadow scowled. Sonic calmed himself down, knowing that fighting wouldn't resolve anything. Thanks to his quick thinking he came up with something.

" Okay, how bout' this ? You come to the hospital with me, and let Amy choose there. Will that make ya happy for once ? " he retorted.

The dark hedgehog stopped and looked down in thought, pondering whether or not he should go. He knew he wouldn't like it, as he hoped for the worst to happen. There was no way Amy would resist the one she's been in love with for years on end. But what could he lose ? Sure he liked the girl, she'd never love him like she loved Sonic, So surely he'd get over her quicker. He was Shadow,  he could do anything.. right ?

" Okay deal. " he said, shooting off into the dark. Sonic's fast reactions picked up and was soon running just as fast behind the black hedgehog, toward the hospital.

' Oh what am I gonna do ? ' the pink hedgehog thought in frustration.. ' Oooh if Shadow didn't come along.. ' she looked up. ' If Shadow didn't come along, Sonic wouldn't show any interest in her in the first place! ' ' Was he jealous ? Was that it ? Did he even like her ? ' Oh the poor girl felt like crying, she didn't know what to do! If she picked Shadow, Sonic would be upset, and if she picked Sonic, Shadow would be upset. Oh but how she loved the blue hedgehog. She loved him dearly, ever since she was 8 years old. And Shadow ? Well she had only known him for about a year, and barely ever talked to him. Until he asked her out on a date she had never made contact with the secluded hedgehog. They're both good looking so that didn't help, and they were both nice and caring. Well she believed Shadow to be.. she was sure he was.

At that moment the hospital door flew open, and there in the doorway stood Shadow and Sonic. Amy sat there awkwardly and stared, wondering what she were to say. " Umm.. hi ? " she muttered.

" Hiya Ame- " " Okay I didn't come here for lovey-dovey introductions. Get to the point hedgehog " Shadow interrupted impatiently. " Wha- What do ya mean ? " the pinkette whispered. Sonic looked down red in the face, embarrassed that he was going to be the one to ask Amy who she wanted to be with. It was a big thing for him. As was mentioned before, Sonic had always had feelings for the girl, whether they were just friendly or more. And of course he were to like her that little bit more! She was down-right gorgeous, smart, strong willed, and had the most beautiful personality. Until she brought out her hammer that was.. Shadow.. Shadow hadn't even spoke to her before there date. Why was he ruining everything now ? So he had to do this.. to find out whether or not she'd choose him or Shadow. And like most people, he had his doubts that he'd be picked, almost due to the fact that it seemed like the blue hedgehog never liked her before Shadow asked her out on the date.. so she might think it was out of jealousy. Sure he was jealous but he had always liked her, and it didn't just happen.

" Amy we want to know who you want to be with. " he said, after building up the courage to say it. Amy blushed and eyes went wide, as she looked from one hedgehog to the other. Oh no what were she to say ? Why did she have to pick now. Of course she was already leaning on one answer she just couldn't bring herself to pick between them. She wasn't one to hurt others.. unless they hurt her of course.

" I uh.. don't know what to say.. " she mumbled. " Rose it isn't that hard just pick. " " Of course it's hard Shadow! I don't want to hurt anyone "

There was a moment of silence, and both realised Sonic wasn't saying anything.

" Sonic ? " Amy whispered. He looked up with a saddened expression on his face. " We're not making ya choose Ames " he simply said. ' Oh well great.. that didn't make it any easier ' she thought, annoyed. Although she did like how nice he was being to her. Shadow was plain cold toward this whole thing.. Did he even care ? Or does he just have his mind made up that she'd pick Sonic. Right now all she wanted to do was pick Sonic though. Shadow sure was making her decision a lot easier.

" Listen guys.." She stopped and looked over to Shadow. " Shadow.. you.. I never talked to you.. we never made any sort of contact with each other, until the day you asked me out. You're exact words were that is was a friendly date and nothing more… I.. I'm sorry Shadow but I don't think I can make this decision dependant on you. " His expression didn't change, although Sonic looked slightly relieved. " Shadow.. I know you were there for me when I was upset and needed someone there, and I appreciate that.. but I don't like you the way I like Sonic. I've known him almost my whole life, and theoretically he was there for me throughout it. I'm sorry Shadow but I just can't pick you. I know Sonic was a jerk and he broke my heart.. but I.. I still love him. " she said, gradually bringing her voice to a low volume. " I'm sorry." She whispered again, looking down.

The dark hedgehog walked up to her and sat on the side of the bed, the blue hedgehog looking away. " I respect you're decision Amy. But I'll have you know I'll always be here if you need me.. to talk or for help. " he muttered, his red orbs slowly watching her. Amy looked up at him and smiled sweetly, despite how badly she felt. She was touched by his words and was grateful he still wanted to be there for her, despite her choice. " Thank you Shadow.. I appreciate it. " she mumbled with a grin.

She gave him a quick hug, and he pecked her on the cheek, before speeding off, strangely feeling better.

Sonic looked up, and was about to speak up.. but Amy beat him to it. " Don't think because everything's sorted out with Shadow, you've got me all to yourself, because you don't. You still have some explaining to do. " she ordered, crossing her arms and her legs upon her bed.

" What ? " he asked, dumbfounded. " Do not play stupid with me. How come right after Shadow asks me out, you start feeling something toward me. ' Oh great she did think that. ' he thought. " Amy it isn't like that I swear. " " Then what is it ? Sonic no more games, I just want the truth from here on out. " she said, sternly.

" You wanna know the truth ? Fine. I did like you. I've always sorta' liked you.. ever since we met.. I mean how could I not ? You were a pretty girl and we became friends pretty fast. Yes I am shy, and that's why I never wanted to admit it to you.. And it turned out to be a bad thing.. because everytime I refused that I did like you.. you got upset. " He paused, and looked over to her to see she had frozen and was staring right at him.

" I admit.. it wasn't love.. but I guess that grew into something more when I saw you with Shadow… Yes I was jealous.. but who wouldn't be ? The girl I like hugged and kissed another guy.. Enemy to be more precised.." he stopped and gathered his thoughts.. " Urghh, what I'm trying to say Amy is.. I do sorta love you now.. and I realise that after everything I've put you through.. " he finished, looking down at the hospital floor.
She couldn't believe it. Surely he wasn't lying.. how could he be.. he couldn't of made everything he just said up.. it would've been impossible. Sonic the Hedgehog loved her.. always did like her.. but couldn't admit it. This was something she only dreamed of and now it was actually happening. Everything he was saying.. everything was what she had always wanted to hear.

" Oh Sonic.. I-" she could barely finish her sentence before she burst into tears. She covered her face with her small peachy hands and tried to stop herself crying, but she couldn't. The girl was just that emotional. Sonic immediately ran over to the bed, and cradled her, to hopefully make her stop crying. She had done enough of that and she seriously needed to start smiling again. He honestly thought everything he said would put a smile on her face. It did the opposite.

Soon after, she finally calmed herself down and brought herself to say what she wanted to say to him. " Sonic thank you. Thank you so much. I guess I always thought and dreamed that that was what was wrong.. thought that that was why you wouldn't admit that you did like me. I'm so glad I was right. " she giggled, through her tears. His face lightened up. Thank god they were happy tears. " No problem Ames. " he smiled. " Just one more thing "
She looked up with a small smile, slightly confused. Was there more ? Was there something else he wanted to admit ? Her eyes widened as he brought his lips down onto hers. Slowly closing them, she smiled inside and out in content that she finally got the man of her dreams, and hopefully, a very good friend aswell.
