Tails was hovering close to the base. His head was aching and his eyes couldn't stay open much longer. If he took even one sip from his coffee, he would throw up. How many cups of coffee did he drink for the last two or three days? Just a little longer… Just wait until all of this is over… He then noticed that the Chaos Emerald powering his plane was starting to glow brighter by the second.
"I guess Sonic is finally using it…" he smiled weakly. So that meant only two things – he was either in a pinch and had nothing else to do, or he had found Amy and was trying to protect her. Then something got his attention on his computer. It seemed like someone else was preparing to attack Eggman's base.  "What is going on here…?!"
Everywhere he looked it was all the same – "The national army is going to attack Eggman's base!" A huge smile made its way to his face.
"Glad to see someone else with the same ambition…" In about half an hour reinforcements will come.

Amy was standing still and not moving from her spot. Smoke and dust were circulating around her as if she was swallowed by a tornado. Countless explosions were bringing a different color to the grey surrounding and a different sound to the many metallic particles crashing. Not to mention that there was a bright light not allowing her to see at all. She had covered her eyes with her free hand and could only imagine what was happening around her.
Soon the chaos around her began to fade and Amy finally dared to take a look around. Dust and smoke was everywhere like a mist and countless metallic particles were falling like hail. Somewhere ahead of her she could see a slowly fading green light. She could also see someone's shadow right next to that light. The mist of dust was slowly clearing and now Sonic was in sight! He was on his knee and breathing fast while holding the Chaos Emerald he was given. He seemed a bit exhausted. His eyes were looking directly at the pink hedgehog and she was looking at him as well. Without saying a word Amy let go of her hammer and Sonic stood up at the same time. No words were needed. They both ran into each other's arms and embraced. Amy threw her arms around his neck and tightened her grip. She was trembling both from fear and from excitement. He came…! He really did! Sonic let out a sigh in relief as he buried his face in her neck. She was back in his arms and he had no intention of letting her go. Not now, not ever.
"Sonic…" she whispered. Small tears were begging to form in her eyes again. After what seemed like years of separation, they were together! Suddenly Sonic slightly pushed her away and traced a hand over her face. He looked her straight into her eyes and so did she.
"Amy? Are you hurt? Did something happen to you?" he asked with concern while wiping away her small tears. Amy just smiled and sniffed a little. Was it possible to feel happier than now?
"I'm ok… I'm ok" she whispered. Sonic let out another sigh of relief and slightly hit his forehead against hers. He chuckled a little and tightened his grip around her.
"I'm glad…" Their eyes met and they remained like that for what seemed like eternity. The long and painful night was over…! No more fighting, no more robots, no more Eggman. It's all over. They closed their eyes and leaned forward until their lips met. The sweetness and relaxation something small like a kiss could bring in a matter of seconds! Amy was now with her beloved hero and there was nothing that could scare her now. Everything around her disappeared and all that remained was just him and her. Oh, how much she loved him… Could words convey her feelings? No… Not even kisses were enough… Right now he was everything to her! Sonic deepened the kiss and held her tight. He had completely forgotten where they were. All that mattered to him was that Amy wasn't hurt and that she was now safe with him. He wanted to take her far away from all the dangers and have her all for himself. All her hugs and kisses! He would never again allow anything to separate them.
"There they are!!!" Sonic and Amy broke their kiss and found themselves amidst a pile of broken metal and dust. From behind them came Eggman on his EggCarrier with Bokkun pointing at the two love birds. Amy noticed that Sonic didn't loosen his grip around her. Just the opposite – the held her tighter and more firmly. The only thing that changed was his expression – almost glaring at the evil scientist for ruining their moment. But at least they both came back to reality.
"I guess my suspicion was correct after all…!" grinned Eggman as he watched the two hedgehogs in front of him. Amy huddled herself closer to her boyfriend and whispered with a trembling voice,
"…he know… from the Sports' fest…" this did not make Sonic happy at all… One of his eyes even twitched at the thought of what Eggman might have seen or even heard…
"Well, I guess you can't have luck with everything you do…" he tried to act cool.
"Here I am, returning after a month's vacation, and what do I see? My favorite foe has been busy!" laughed Eggman while Bokkun was just glaring at the two for all the trouble he had to face.
"Jealous?" a cocky smirk made its way on Sonic's face. Amy blushed a little. Where was this conversation going?!
"Oh, don't be ridiculous! Whatever I want I can get it with force… But by the looks of it," the evil doctor looked at the pile of broken metal all over the place and his face formed a frown, "you managed to wipe out my new EggShells thanks to a Chaos Emerald…"
"They just had a successful destruction test. Keep up the good work!" the smirk on Sonic's face did not disappear. A marching sound could be heard from behind Eggman. Amy clenched her fists and stared at the darkness. Both she and Sonic could hear more robots coming.
"I have been experimenting with my new EggShell series. Each one is unique and only the best will remain…" an evil grin formed on Eggman's face. Bokkun looked at the robots behind them and looked at his creator a little unsure.
"Hey, Doctor? Are you sure you want to use all of them?"
"But of course! Now, Sonic. Let's see how's a better creator – mother nature or me…?" Amy looked at the countless robots marching closer and closer to them. She was sure there must have been at least a hundred of them! How was Sonic going to fight that many…?! She looked up with panic in her eyes only to see him looking annoyed at the robots. Was he taking this seriously??? "Only if you fight them all and win you can leave this place…"
"Yeah…" agreed Sonic with annoyance. "If I win after I fight them…" a playful smirk appeared on his face as he picked up Amy in his arms. "Too bad I never planned on fighting them!" And with that he sped off in a random direction. Eggman's jaw nearly hit the ground. He knew all too well that the blue hedgehog was unpredictable, but this was ridiculous!
Amy was bewildered by Sonic's actions as well. She always thought that he would take on any challenge even if it seemed close to impossible! But could it be that he has changed over the years? Or, did he think he couldn't defeat all those robots? Suddenly Sonic stopped running and placed Amy down on her feet, but did not let her go just yet. He turned around and tried to see if they were being followed. Not yet they weren't. He chuckled at the thought of them all being too slow to keep up with him and leaned against a wall with a satisfied grin. Amy, already released from his embrace, didn't know what to say. Was it a good idea to ask him about his choice of not fighting?
"Something bothering you?" he asked out of the blue. Amy didn't expect him to start a conversation so soon. She pushed away a lock from her face and lowered her gaze.
"Maybe…" she finally said. Sonic just smiled at her. He knew what was bothering her. No, he knew all the things that could bother her at this moment, but just wasn't sure enough which one was the one. "Why didn't you stay and fight?"
"Oh," he chuckled at her strange question. Actually, he didn't expect that question out of her. "Can't you tell?" Amy looked up and met his gaze. It was warm and full of love. She could feel herself melt just by looking at him.
"Because of… me?" she asked shyly and a blush formed on her face. Sonic just nodded and turned his head toward the direction they came from. Amy let out a sigh in relief. "Thank goodness… To think for even a second that you would run away because they were too tough for you…" Amy felt both nervous and glad about the whole situation. Sonic laughed at that comment of hers and made her stop talking for a while.
"You weren't far from the truth there," he said at last. "Didn't you see what it took me to deal with just six of them?"
"A Chaos Emerald?" she asked a little unsure. Sonic lifted his hand and showed her four fingers.
"And four rings…" Amy's eyes widened. "And something tells me that it was barely enough to deal with them…" he finished as he stared to scratch his ear. Amy's ears dropped low as she saddened after hearing his statement.
"Sonic…" He looked her way when she called his name and his smile faded. Amy was looking at the ground and her eyes were beginning to fill to tears. "I'm sorry… It's all my fault… I'm sorry…" He ran to her side and embraced her tightly. Amy tried to push herself away from him but he was too strong.
"It's not your fault, Amy… Just when did you do something wrong to apologize like that…?" he asked her almost in a whisper. His voice was calming her, but she felt guilty and responsible for all that has happened.
"I ordered the glass…" she began while sniffing from time to time and trying to wipe away her tears. "It was my mistake for not thinking a few steps ahead and it never occurred to me that… the glass could be stolen by Eggman…! And thanks to my mess, I got you and Tails, and even Mally involved and I'm sure that everyone is worried-…" she silenced with a kiss before she could finish. No matter how much she tried to resist or even break the kiss, Sonic was holding her firmly both around her lower back and a little above her neck. She couldn't win against him… Just like always, he had complete control over such situations. It didn't take long before she returned the kiss and loosened in his embrace. Amy was sinking deeper and deeper into another world, far away from Eggman's base.  Suddenly, Sonic broke the kiss himself and traced a hand over her head while placing his forehead a little over hers.
"No, you didn't. You were told what that new hotel needed, you followed orders and purchased the glass on behalf of the hotel. No matter how smart and intelligent you are, you can't always predict the next few steps. I suggested we ask Tails for help and he himself agreed to it. I bet Mally is worried about you because you are dear to her. As for Eggman… He always does stuff like that in pursuit of his dream Eggman Empire…"
Every word he said seemed to lift one by one the stones that were on top of her and crushing her conscience. How was he able to find the right words to ease the pain in her heart? She couldn't understand how it was possible for him to erase all thoughts from her mind whenever they would share a kiss. Amy could feel his had wipe away the tears from her cheeks and was sure that her face was completely red. Could she really be that easily forgiven?!
"But-…!" she was interrupted with another kiss, but this time it seemed like a teasing one. Something told her that he wasn't going to get tired of this any time soon. Sonic had a cocky smirk and was even holding back his laughter.
"You know…" began Sonic as he looked Amy in the eyes. He could see both confusion and trust in them. "They say that when a baby starts whining, all you have to do is distract it with something else…" Amy giggled by that comment and tried to hide her embarrassment while burying her face in his neck. This was a new type of switching that she actually liked.
"Is my age that easy to hide?" she asked as she hugged her boyfriend lovingly.
"You have no idea…" a playful smirk was dancing on his face. He then looked behind him again and noticed that the robots were catching up. "Took them long enough…" Amy didn't like the thought of someone interrupting their sweet moment again… "So, do you like this place?" he suddenly asked.
"Well…" Amy thought for a moment on what to say. "I'm not afraid anymore…" she said with a smile. Sonic smiled at her as well, but she couldn't see that.
"Too bad. Want me to leave you here for a while longer?" he teased her.
"Hell no!" she almost shouted, obviously offended by the offer. Sonic laughed at that comment of hers and picked her up again.
"Then let's get out of here!" and with that said he sped off again, leaving the robots behind them in cloud of dust.
"Do you know where the exit is?" asked Amy. Sonic didn't answer, but rather looked away a little uneasy about the question. "Sonic?"
"I don't… I long lost track of this place while trying to find my damsel in distress. I say, shouldn't a princess wait in her tower patiently for her knight to come and save her?" he teased her again.
"Perhaps the princess was too impatient and tried to save herself," replied Amy. Sonic gave her a sly smirk and shock his head in disapproval.
"I'll have to punish that princess one of these days…"
Suddenly Sonic stopped. For a second Amy thought that he was going to do what he just said he would. But that thought disappeared as soon as she saw the ambush in front of them. There were four EggShells, about ten patrols and a few watchers floating above them. There was no way to turn back because the other party was catching up. And that was not all. For an unknown reason this place was getting hotter and hotter. As if they were heading towards a volcano. Sonic put Amy on her feet and still held her close. Her bare feet could feel heat coming from below them. Perhaps there was something important down there.
"I guess we have no other choice…" said Sonic almost in a whisper and took out his Chaos Emerald. Amy could now see their pursuers and slightly trembled with fear. At that moment she noticed two things. One was that even though the EggShells were Eggman's new robot series, they all looked different in shape and the only thing that identified them as EggShells was the glass that covered their mechanical bodies. The second thing she noticed was not to her liking at all. The robots that were chasing them were getting closer and closer with their heavy steps. The ground was even shaking from their footsteps… literally…
"…um… Sonic…?" Amy's breath got stuck in her lungs. Sonic also noticed the danger from the shaking ground. There was no way they could run pass either of the groups…
"Don't let go…" whispered Sonic as he tightened his grip around her.
The ambush group opened fire at their direction while the pursue group had just arrived. The floor beneath their feet gave away and started to fall apart. The metal plate beneath the four EggShells overturned backwards and their shots made holes in the ceiling above the pursue group. The ceiling's debris fell on top of the robots and made the plate under them completely fall off. Without its sides' support the panel Sonic and Amy were also began to overturn. That's when they saw where the infernal heat came from. They were just one level from what seemed like a huge furnace, used to melt both metal and the new glass.
The two groups of robots could not support their own weight and were unable to hold on to whatever they had grabbed and fell right into the inferno. Amy was staring with her eyes wide opened and could not believe what just happened. Just now… That was not just mere luck… It was… Her thoughts were cut short when she noticed a small green sparkle somewhere far beneath and close to the furnace and the piles of heavily damaged robots.
"The Chaos Emerald!!!" she shouted and even tried to reach out for it.
"Amy!" someone scolded her. She then realized the situation she was in… The plate both she and Sonic were on was now hanging from its only two remaining bolts and had a perfect forty-five degrees angle. Sonic was holding her firmly with his right hand while holding the upper edge of the plate and supporting both his and Amy's weight with his left one. It took her quite some time to realize that she was lying on her back on top of Sonic and that his head was on her left shoulder. Both her feet and hands were starting to ache. She could see that she was fighting against gravity and could swear that her hands were glued to the plate. Her legs had a… more complicated position. It was quite unbecoming for a girl to spread her legs, let alone in the presence of a guy. Though Sonic did use his right leg like a seat to keep her from sliding off…  She could not remember how and what her body was doing while struggling to survive.
"Oh, darn…" chuckled Sonic which made Amy blush. "There goes our ticket out of here!"
"Sonic, we have to get that Emerald back!" she panicked and tried to move but in vain. She was too scared not to fall off and into the furnace plus someone was holding her just below her bosom.
"Easy come, easy go…" he whispered and started to plant kisses on her neck. Shivers ran through her body and she was sure that not only the inferno below her was heating her up. What was he thinking!? Does he have to do such things in this situation!!! Not to mention that she could not resist no matter how much she wanted to run away. Her whole body had benumbed and could not move. Sonic moved up a little and kissed her cheek before saying, "I guess now we can stay here a bit longer…"
"No…!!!" whined Amy. "I don't want to be here anymore!!!" Sonic smirked by that statement and moved his head away just a little and looked at his surroundings once more.
"Then I want you to turn around and climb up to the edge of this plate." Amy frowned a little. How the hell was she supposed to move?! She was too scared to even breathe normally, let alone turn around and climb up!
"I… I can't…" she almost cried. Her eyes were watching the metal melt in that furnace and could already picture her fate if she does even one false move.
"Then while you're preparing yourself, I'll be making hickeys right here…" Amy could feel Sonic's wet and cold nose mark a few locations on her neck. She panicked and was even able to hide her endangered zone with her shoulder.
"Ok, ok! I'll try…!" she almost shouted. Sonic smirked and watched her every move carefully. His arm was still around her, but not tight at all. In a way he showed her his support and was ready grab her if something happens.
Amy was having a hard time both moving and thinking. She was trying not to look at Sonic and his teasing smirk. He really was enjoying this! Was he always like that?! What about in the past? If they were a couple back then… would he have been the same? Pervy and teasing and stuff like that whenever he would come to her rescue?! Now Amy was facing her hero, a little above him, but their bodies were close enough to make her feel uncomfortable. His hand was on her back, slightly pressing her so that she could feel his support and encourage her even further. Poor Amy felt like an 'attacker', who has pinned his prey and ready to take a few bites. She was sweating like crazy both because of what was just one level below them and because of her own rising body temperature. Amy looked ahead of her and wondered if she could reach the edge of the plate. It seemed impossible.
"Go on," encouraged her Sonic and Amy lifted her right arm and tried to reach the edge. The plate suddenly creaked and even moved a little. Amy's heart was beating fast and every color from her face was drained from fear. Sonic had tightened his grip around her and was holding his breath. Amy was trembling and was holding onto him with all her remaining strength.
"…I can't…" she whispered. Sonic let out a painful sigh. There was no other way. He couldn't jump down, because it was too hot. There was no way for him to pull himself up with his left arm while holding Amy and he couldn't just make a leap from this plate. He slightly nuzzled against Amy's forehead and gently rubbed her back.
"Yes you can," he said with a teasing tone. "You're just making excuses, because you're enjoying the position we're in…"
"Am not!" Amy knew perfectly well what kind of shameful position this was! Not only were her legs spread, but because of fear she was pressing her body against his. Even under normal circumstances this would have been too embarrassing! "I just can't do it…"
Sonic just smiled and kissed on the lips. Why can't she be a little more confident and believe in her own strength? Amy was surprised at first but gladly sank in the sensation. All of her fears and thoughts were beginning to fade. What kind of magic was he using? She was slowly letting herself go and returned the kiss with passion. Sonic knew the dangers of this two-edged strategy of his. Even if he manages to distract her, the sweetness of her lips gets to him. It doesn't take long before he too forgets where they are. And even now, he could feel that just one arm wasn't enough to hold her with. Without thinking he even loosened his grip on the edge and they both slipped a little before Sonic came back to the real world. He broke the kiss and tightened his hold on the edge. Amy was startled as she felt the movement and looked at him with panic. He was not happy at all and looked at Amy with determination.
"Go!" She just nodded a little hesitant. What were they thinking?! She took a deep breath and threw herself towards the edge a little away from her blue hero. She was partly blaming herself that they both lost track of the events around them. They were still inside Eggman's base!!! And they were fooling around! When Sonic was sure that Amy was holding the edge properly, he turned around as well and pulled himself up as well. The plate creaked again and it seemed like it was about to fall off any moment now. Sonic let out a sigh, picked up Amy and jumped with all his might to the upper level through the hole that the ambush group made in the ceiling and ran until he was far away from the dangerous corridor.
When they were far enough not to feel the heat from the furnace, Amy was put down on the ground. She still had a blush on her face from what just happened. Sonic couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes as well. The awkward silence was making them both nervous.
"What… was that place?" Amy broke the silence. Sonic scratched his head a little and thought about it.
"I think that was the core of this base. Something like an oven where he makes his robots…"
"I saw the glass being melted there…" Sonic threw a glance at her. She was a little down and deep in thoughts. "I just can't understand how he was able to make so many new robots with the glass for just one day!"
"He didn't," replied Sonic and the pink hedgehog looked at him confused. "The robots were made beforehand. He just made them new armor. So far the ones destroyed were just carrying that armor. Or as Tails would say, 'an object is as strong as its weakest joint'."
"But some of them are too strong…" The first five she saw were most certainly new robots! After all, they were the ones who annihilated all the military planes and broke off the wings from the plane she was on. Not to mention when she boldly decided to charge at Eggman… They were on a completely different level that the ones she was struggling to fight against… She couldn't follow their movements with her eyes, let alone stand a chance against them!
"Yeah… This place is starting to give me the creeps!" Sonic laughed. He wanted to get Amy out of this place as soon as possible. Not only was she in danger, but he couldn't fight at all!
"Just how deep have we gone in this place…?" Amy saddened a little.
"Couldn't be any closer to its core…"
"I'm sorry we lost the Emerald…"
"I told you, it's not a big deal!" smiled Sonic and looked behind the corner to see if they were being followed or found.
"Let's go back and look for it…!" suggested Amy and moved closer to him. Sonic threw her a playful smirk by which she blushed.
"You liked it there, didn't you?" he teased her. Amy looked away embarrassed and crossed her arms.
"I don't know what you're talking about…" she replied indifferently, almost annoyed. This reaction surprised him as he raised an eyebrow.
"Want me to remind you?" Amy's blush deepened. What was he trying to do?! Like it wasn't enough what was done already!
"No…?" she tried to step away, but a pair of arms wrapped around her and pulled her close. Then she met his gaze. It was playful, but still had the warmness she adored. Now that they were alone again, she could have his attention all to herself. She loved being in his arms!
"Then you didn't like it?" he dared and shared a loving nuzzle with her. Amy could feel her eyes getting heavier and wanting to close and sink in his embrace. Hear heart was racing and her breathing was getting faster. She didn't want to lose herself right now. Not here. But his gaze was slowly draining every reason from her mind and slowly hypnotizing her. She wanted to answer his question, but words just couldn't come out. Sonic knew that he was going a bit too far. This was not the time to tease her, nor try to distract her when she wasn't even troubled by anything. In fact, he had filled her head with thoughts of him and he could see how she was pleading for more with her eyes.
"I…" she finally spoke. They stared at each other's eyes and embraced tighter. "I didn't… dislike it…" Sonic smiled when he heard her say it. He tightened his grip around her and whispered,
"Close enough…" and the gap between them disappeared.  Amy wrapped one arm around his neck while the other was caressing his face. The lip contact was soft and gentle. It felt like a dream. It was as if they longed for this for eternity and were finally given a chance. Now it was just the two of them. Amy could feel Sonic gently suck on her lower lip. She returned the favor by caressing his one with her tongue. They both smiled and deepened the kiss. Nothing else mattered. All logic was gone and they simply followed their hearts. As the make out session intensified, Amy broke the kiss and tried to get some air. Seeing this as an opportunity, Sonic slowly moved to her right and started planting kisses all over her neck. For once she actually didn't feel uncomfortable and the shivers going up and down her spine were making her mind go blank. She even felt her body yearn for more and subconsciously scratched his back. She was breathing heavily and was in perfect motion with his pace. Sonic's hands were moving from time to time from her lower back to a little below her neck. Perhaps… this is what they both wanted to do ever since her phone interrupted them in the house a couple of hours ago… Amy gasped when he even pinned her against the wall but did not object. She didn't care where they were anymore. All she wanted was for this moment to never end. She wanted to give him her all, she wanted to be his. Sonic's hand slowly moved pass her lower back and stopped for a second on her hip before going even lower and lifted her leg to his side. Amy couldn't take it anymore and let out a soft moan by his action.
Without any warning, Sonic let go of her and stepped away with his fists clenched. Amy leaned on the wall and opened her eyes only to see him walk further away from her and straight towards a group of robot pursuers. Her heart was still racing, her body was burning and her breathing was heavy. Everything around her seemed so unreal. Some traces of thoughts help her comprehend the most important of the situation – they have been found. Amy was taking in deep breaths to calm herself down. What were they doing…?! She slowly slid down the side of the wall and sat on the ground, constantly watching her boyfriend.
Was he furious? Was he disappointed? Sonic took out his anger on every single robot that dared to show up. One after the other, they came down to the ground. Smoke filled the air again and Sonic took a look around him. None were left. He let out a long and painful sigh. If they had show up even a minute later… he might have not been able to come back to his senses…  He threw a glance at Amy and could see her breathless and yearning for more. He chuckled to himself and started walking towards her. There is no bigger turn on that knowing that you're turning on someone else.
"You're too sensitive…" he laughed weakly and gave her a hand to get up. Amy was still red in the face and even when she got on her feet, she still wanted them to continue. Instead, Sonic just pulled her in for a hug and nuzzled against her cheek. Just when did he manage to lose control over himself? His thoughts were interrupted by the beeping sound of his pager.
"Sonic?" Tails' voice could be heard from the small device. "Sonic, can you hear me?"
"Loud and clear, pal…" answered Sonic with a weak voice. It was nobody's fault that they kept being interrupted. It's just that they didn't choose the right time…
"Did you find Amy?"
"I'm here, Tails!" smiled Amy when she heard her friend's voice. He seemed fine. Tired and panicked, but was fine.
"Good! I want you two to get out of there as soon as possible!" he said with a dead serious voice. "The national army will launch an attack in less than ten minutes!"
"They'll what?!" both Amy and Sonic exclaimed.
"I'll tell you the details later. Sonic, run straight ahead down the corridor with all its lights switched on. You'll see it in a few moments light up. I'll make a hole somewhere on the way. That will be your exit. Got it?"
"Got it." The conversation was over and Sonic smiled weakly at Amy. It was only a matter of time before they have to part again. Amy hugged him tight and buried her face in his shoulder.
Suddenly a mighty explosion shock the whole place and the lights of a nearby corridor light up. The way out was now opened. Sonic picked his girlfriend and sped off towards the newly made exit.

"Commander! We're closing in on enemy's territory. Your orders?" spoke one of the pilots in the mother ship. The commander was sitting in a huge chair and watching Eggman's base through the wind shield. A computer beside her visualized the position of every single plane on her team. She thought for a while and finally her voice echoed though the room with all its might.
"Team Beta! Advance forward! Put on a smoke screen and clear the way! Team Alfa! Lock on targets now and launch attack when the first team retreats! Team Gama and Omega wait for my signal to infiltrate the base from below."
"Roger that!" said the leaders of the four teams.
Mally cracked her fists and glared at the hateful base.  Now that she had everything under control, she was going to show everyone what happens when someone angers the wrong hedgehog…

Tails' plane flew away from Eggman's base just in time before the first team took action. Sonic and Amy were on one of the plane's wings and watched in awe the way the army could actually put up a fight.
"Are you guys ok?" asked Tails and looked at the two slightly disappointed hedgehogs on his wing. They both smiled weakly and avoided eye contact.
"I guess we're just tired…" lied Amy and pushed a locks away from her face. The fierce wind was almost strong enough to blow her away. Tails just nodded and tried to focus on his flight. The long fight was now over… Amy gazed at the forest beneath them. The moonlight was reflected by every single leaf and made the trees seem silver. Her eyes widened when she saw the moon's reflection on the ground. No, it wasn't on the ground. It seemed like there was a lake and the water's surface made the mood seem bigger and more magical. Amy smiled at the sight and let out a dreamy sigh.
"Tails?" Sonic called out his friend but he did not reply. Tails was slowly leaning forward and the plane's course was changing little by little. "Tails!"
Sonic's shouts could not reach the dead tired fox as his head hit the wind shield. Panic took the best of both Sonic and Amy as they felt the plane slowly lean forward and towards the ground at high speed.
"Tails!!! Wake up!!!" Sonic hit his fist against the wind shield and Tails came back to his senses and quickly pulled the lever and tried to take control over the plane.
"I'M SORRY!!!" shouted Tails and his eyes were now wide open. The shock just now gave him enough adrenaline to stay awake for a while longer. Sonic was holding tight onto the wing and looked at Amy's direction. She was… gone… He looked below the plane and saw her falling. "GO! I'LL BE FINE!!!" Sonic looked at his best friend worried and clenched his fists.
"You'd better be!" and with that said, Sonic jumped off the plane and tried to catch up with Amy. Tails turned the auto pilot on and leaned back on his seat. He was way pass his limit… For a second there he was sure that he had lost consciousness… He looked through his window and saw with relief that Sonic was able to catch Amy. Luckily they were going to fall in the lake. He smiled weakly and fell asleep inside his plane…

The forest was quiet. The moon's reflection was clearing on the lake's surface. Suddenly Amy emerged right in the centre of the moon's reflection and took a few deep breaths. She looked around. Sonic was nowhere to be seen.
"Sonic?" she called out and span around in search of him. Silence… The forest carried her voice but there was no response… "Sonic!!!" she called again. Panic was rising inside her heart. Was he… still underwater?! Before she could dive again, she heard a splash behind her. When she turned around, she saw him…! He was ok!
"Hey…" he smiled at her. He could not tell that she was shedding tear because of the water that was running down her face. Amy clenched her fists and hit the water surface in anger.
"You scared me!!!" she shouted and splashed water at his direction. Sonic didn't understand her anger and just raised a hand as a shield to protect himself from the… powerful water… "Don't scare me like that!!! And why can you swim?! I thought you hated water!!!" Amy went on slashing water at his direction. Sonic let out a playful sigh and pulled her by the hand.
"I still hate it," he said with a smirk as he grabbed a hold of both her hands and pulled her even closer. "But that doesn't mean that I can't swim."
"Sonic…" Amy calmed down and embraced her beloved. He could hear her sniff from time to time as she shed silent tears. Sonic smiled at her and lifted her head so that he could see her eyes. Oh, how beautiful she looked on the moonlight…
"It's ok… It's all over now…" he whispered as he caressed her cheek. Amy felt both relieved and excited. His eyes never lied. She could see that what he said was the truth. Eggman was nowhere in sight… No robots to bother them… The forest protected them… A small smile danced on her lips as she threw her arms around him and kissed him with all the passion she was holding back since they left that house. Now they were all alone. Sonic did not expect such bold actions from her. He had a hard time controlling himself literally on the battle field, let alone in this situation. But that did not stop him from picking up from where they left things. He was kissing her lips, her cheeks, her neck, while Amy was caressing his head with her left hand and would sometimes scratch his back with her right hand. They were embracing each other tightly and neither had the intention of stopping just yet. They swam to the shore while constantly keeping body contact. When the shore was close enough, Sonic picked up his girlfriend and carried her a little deeper into the forest where no one could see them from bird's eye. Amy had long lost her reasons and all she could think of was Sonic. His lips, his chest, his arms, his shoulders, his body… Everything was like a magnate to her, slowly pulling her closer and closer.
"We shouldn't…" whispered Sonic in-between kisses. It was as if he didn't say a word as they both went on with the make out session. "You'll catch a cold if you don't remove your wet clothes…" Amy smiled by that statement and planted a quick kiss on his lips before replying,
"Will you help me take them off?" She obviously misunderstood his words. Their eyes met and they could see already knew the answer to the question. Sonic smiled weakly and went on kissing her. There was no way he could hold back any longer…

EggShell – Well, stupid name for a robot, but he tends to name his machines like objects, related to eggs. Hell even his "special flying seat" is named "The Egg Carrier"!!! So I thought of using the same idiotic way of naming to match the situation

End of chapter 18. No matter how hard I tried to write suspense... it always ended up in my usual style - Sonic teasing, Amy being teased.

I guess I'm not a drama llama
