Authoress's Note: Just a little bit of writing to tie up the loose end. Not important to the story but it makes the happy ending a bit happier.

Gamma and Amy walked back home together.
"It's late," Gamma said on the doorstep.
"I know. Let's go on in and get some sleep."
"No, no, let's wait a few minutes. I'm still getting used to senses instead of sensors."
Amy grinned. "You look like you've been used to them for about fifteen years."
"Is that how old I look? I guess I must have been thinking of myself that age, with this voice Nate gave me and being around you so much."
"Yeah, I'd guess you're about fifteen. A year older than me, give or take a few months. I'm so happy for you, Gamma," Amy chirped. She hugged him again and leaned into his chest.
Gamma took her chin in his hand turned her to look into his eyes.
Both hedgehogs were taken by the moment, and they next thing they both knew, they were enveloped in a warm, affectionate kiss.
"Gamma..." Amy gasped.
"What? Did I...is that not what you wanted?"
"No, no...I mean...that was...it was...I...I liked that." She smiled up at him.
Gamma sighed, relieved and grinning. "I'm glad. I've been wanting to do that for a long time...but I never could. It was even more wonderful than I'd hoped for."
"Oh..." Amy breathed, looking down. "You care, don't you? You really do care for me."
"Yes. Yes I do, Amy. I've cared for a long time...I'm not sure when it started, but I wasn't aware of it until I found out I had a chance to be a living, breathing hedgehog. I think it may even have started before you rescued me."
Amy dared to look back up into his eyes. "I...I care, too, Gamma...I really do care."
Gamma looked down at her. "Then...this feeling...is...shared? I mean...you feel it too?" Amy blushed a little, but it was dark and Gamma could barely tell. She stood a little taller, halfway to tiptoe, and they kissed again.
"Yes," she whispered, "It is."
"Then I am the luckiest hedgehog alive, roboticized or not."

Authoress's Note: AWWWW! That is so sweet! At any rate, I'm finished now. I got the story out of my system and I'm pleased with the results. (It WOULD NOT go away once it popped into my head.) Anyway, if you should just happen to be into Digimon or Early Edition, check out my fics there, please. Thanks for reading, and holding on until the end!
