A Potion Can Go A Long Way

~The Talk~

Sonic's P.O.V.

I stood there looking at Shadow. He chuckled and stood up. "Really? The guy who was made to be intelligent and has lived on this earth longer than you have, doesn't know anything?" He crossed his arms. "Buzz off Shadow" "I'm just stating a fact" he barked and walked inside. I hung my head. He was right. I walked inside. That day went by slowly. It was filled with sorrow. For me that is. Here and there were little things to remind me that everything will be different. She's different. It was night and we all went to bed. Everyone was already in bed, except Amy. She was in the bathroom, I could hear the water running. I went up to the bathroom and stood at the door. "Hey" she said. She was brushing her teeth. "Hey..." "need something?" "Can I ask you a favor?" I asked her. She spit into the sink and rinsed it out. "Sure" "would you, uh... how do I say this?... um, sleep with me in my room- not like that but-" "like a sleepover?" She cut me off. I smiled. "Sure... I just need someone to talk to, cause I can't go to sleep" "of coarse I will" she put her toothbrush away. "Really?" "Of coarse. What are friends for" she said while walking out. I sighed as she said that. I really am nothing to her anymore. Wait, why do I care? This is what I wanted. I followed her. She had grabbed a little pillow and went in my room. She was sitting on my bed. I went and laid on my bed. "So... you said you needed to talk?" She asked. "Yeah.. just.." "hold that thought" she got up and turned the lights off. "Oh, thanks" "how are you gonna fall asleep with the lights on" she sat back down. "Amy" "yes?" I sighed and thought for a moment. "Have you ever loved somebody?" I stared at the ceiling. "Uh, I think I might have. I mean I think it was just a crush like, so no not really" she told me. "Do you like anyone at the moment? Like love or really like in that way?" She paused for a moment. "No... maybe" I turned to her. "Who?" "Well... I feel strange around Shadow, but I think that's cause I feel bad for him. I feel all warm and fuzzy around Silver, but I think that's just because he's so nice. You.... your my best friend, so of coarse I love you" she smiled at me. I just looked at her. "Are you in love Sonic?" She asked me. "I think so..." "really? Who?" She eagerly asked. "I'd rather not say, cause I don't think she feels the same way..." I turned over. Looking at the wall. I felt the bed dip as she laid down. "Well, whoever she is.. She's lucky" with that it went silent. I felt my eyes close and sleep overwhelmed me. I woke up the next morning. Amy was still sleeping. I picked her up and carried her to her room. I set her down on the bed and left. I went downstairs. "Hey..." I heard a deep groggy voice say. It was a sleepy Shadow. "Hey" I said back. He was in the kitchen leaning against the counter. I went over and took the pot of coffee and poured myself some. I looked over at the clock. "I'd coarse" I said as I realised it was early in the morning. Seven twenty-one to be exact. "What?" "Of coarse your up and in the kitchen. It's so early" I explained. "Heh, early? This is early?" "Yeah" I replied. He just chuckled. I heard someone come down the stairs. It was Amy. She had changed her closes. Oh yeah, after she 'changed' she never wore that red dress again. When she came down the stairs she was wearing a red little nightgown. Kind of sparkly and see through. I turned to Shadow and pulled on my collar making a face. He chuckled again. "Morning Amy" he said. "Morning!" She jumped down the last couple of steps. "Want some breakfast?" She asked us. She seemed more cheery? "Sure" I answered for the both of us. She started to make pancakes. Soon everyone had gathered in the kitchen. We all sat down and she served us all pancakes. I looked at mine and it was shaped like my running shoes. I looked at everyone else, their pancakes had shapes too. Except Shadow's. "I didn't give yours a shape because I didn't want to be redundant with shaping them and I knew you wouldn't appreciate it" Amy said while sitting down. "Thanks Amy" Shadow said. "Oh, and he appreciates that?" "Shut up Silver" Shadow shushed Silver. Amy laughed. "Any special occasion?" I asked. "No... not unless you can remember" she said and ate her pancake. After breakfast we all were brainstorming on what could she possibly be happy about. She came the stairs after changing again. "Oh, your all hyped for Valentine's day huh?" Daisy asked. "What? No. I could care less about that holiday" she said simply. She walked into the living room. We were all speechless. She's always loved Valentine's day. Daisy and Peach looked at me and then walked away. It was two days before Valentine's day. What could she be hyped about?
