What You'd Never Suspect
"...and thanks for keeping me company today, Tails," the pink hedgehog sighed. "You know how I hate shopping alone."
"It was no problem, Amy," the orange two-tailed fox replied.
The two walked along the city streets in silence. Then out of the blue, Amy cried, "I'm bored!"
"Bored? How can you be bored? You just spent the whole morning shopping!"
"Yeah, but it's not like I can use any of it until I get back home."
Tails just sighed and shook his head. Typical Amy. But then again, that's what he liked her for: she was herself. "Well, I can't solve your boredom now, but I was going to see a movie tonight, and you can come with me if you want."
Amy shook her head. "No thanks," she said politely. "It sounds fun, but I'm going out with Sonic."
Tails stared at her in complete shock. "Y-y-you have a DATE with SONIC?!"
"Well..." Amy started, walking ahead, "He doesn't exactly know we're going out yet."
"Oh." Again, that's Amy for ya'.
"Speaking of, where IS Sonic? Tails, what time is it?"
He took a fast glimse at his wrist. "12:45."
"Darn! I still have another 2 hours!"
"...for what?"
Amy set her bags down and pointed to the street corner. "This is the corner of East Main and Wesson. Sonic walks by this corner every day at 2:46 PM, unless he's sick."
Tails raised an eyebrow in question at the pink one. "And... how would YOU know that?"
The young girl's cheeks turned as pink as her fur. "I kinda follow him when he walks by..."
Tails said nothing, but picked up some of Amy's bags and started walking with her again. "How much further to your apartment, Amy? These bags are kinda heavy."
"They are not. And we have another two blocks to go."
The two blocks were easily conquered by the hedgehog, but our young two-tailed hero had a little struggle with the journey.
"Whew!" He dropped the bags by her door. "How do you carry all those bags?"
Amy set her own bags down and pulled out her keys. "Practice." Opening the door, she and Tails went inside. "Want a drink? It's hot today."
"...No thanks," Tails said after a moment. "I'd better get beck to my workshop. The braking gear on the Tornado's car mode needs replacing."
"Oh, workworkwork," Amy mocked. "That's all you do. Don't you ever have FUN?"
"I went shopping with you today."
"Yeah, but--- you thought that was fun?"
"Well, I didn't completely loathe it, so... yeah. It was... fun."
"Oh."
An uncomfortable silence surfaced between them. "I uh... I'd better be going now. I really need to get that brake replaced."
"Okay..." Amy waved slightly. "See you later, Tails."
"Bye Amy." He shut the door behind him with a light 'click'.
Outside the building, Tails sighed heavily and began his short walk to the train station. "She's still after Sonic... I gues that's how it will always be. But I can't just stop liking her. I've felt like this for too long..." He walked up the stairs of the Station Square train station and looked in the direction of Amy's building. With another heavy sigh, he dragged himself up the stairs and boarded the next train.
