Chapter 7
Sonic just stood there in shock as Amy bent down and stared at the picture for a few seconds.
He could see the surprised and confused look on her face and bowed his own in an attempt to hide his mortification to only have Amy leap on him in an embarrassed hug.
"Sonic…?" She looked him in the eyes and didn't really know what to say, but by the looks in both their eyes they knew they didn't need to as they realised how close they were…
"Amy…" he whispered in a breathless way before leaning in to do one of the things he never believed he would've done.
He kissed her, and she returned it willingly.

It was quite some time later when they finally met up again, all packed and ready to leave.
"Yo. Took you two long enough," Knuckles paused and looked at Sonic and Amy who were walking hand in hand, "Haha!"
Rouge rolled her eyes and smiled at the two teens before slinging one of her bags over her shoulder and spoke seriously.
"Tails, don't you think it would be best if we leave now?"
He nodded and led them down to his basement where he worked quite often, "Come, we can go in one of my more recent aircrafts," he smirked at the gasps of awe and helped them in,
"We're going to have to take the long way, mind you. We don't want to take the risk of being traced or anything. I think it's best if we don't even let the authorities know at this stage."
Knuckles nodded as he climbed in the back hugging the Master Emerald. At least if they were all together he didn't have to worry about it. He hoped Rouge wouldn't try anything funny, not that she could seeing as the risks there would be.
Seeing as there was only two upholstered benches to sit on (it was only intended for four people maximum), Rouge had to sit next to Knuckles in the back and in the front Amy cuddled against Sonic causing Tails to snigger inwardly.
After the chatter between them had settled Tails pressed some buttons initiating the countdown process.
"Okay guys, we better all be prepared. I kinda haven't had time to finish tweaking this thing so it will be a little rough and maybe kinda…"
"READY FOR LIFTOFF IN 3-2-…" a female sounding machine-voice said before they shot off the ground.
Luckily Tails had already prepared everything for launch…
"-Fast!" Tails yelled, barely heard over the sound of the engine.
"Damn. A little more warning next time?" Knuckles said peeved, but Rouge gave him a little look that told him off.
"Hon', don't worry. We knew it wasn't finished, and it's not like we were really prepared for this."
"Yeah…" Sonic whispered, a little to himself as Amy clung onto him tighter.
'So much has happened recently… so, so much.'
Amy noticed how Sonic had spaced out and turned her attention to the view… or whatever view there was. At the moment all that could be seen were vast amounts of cloud. It was kind of quiet so she turned on the small radio and a popular song began to play.
"Hey, Tails…"
"Yeah Amy?"
"Whereabouts are we going to stay?" she asked and Knuckles and Rouge leaned forward, wanting to know the answer to that too.
"Well," he pondered his answer, "there's a rather comfortable but secluded place in the next state that a friend used to use but I remember him mentioning how he was not going to be there for a few months. He… owes me anyway."
"Oh, okay." Amy settled back down, but Knuckles spoke up.
"Owes?"
"Well, yeah… I helped him invent something for this competition, and let him take credit for it."
"As you would," Knuckles said before ruffling up his bangs.
"Argh, Knux leave me alone." He shrunk away from Knuckles' abusing hand and smiled as his offender received a playful push from Rouge.
Tails then turned back to see that the clouds had cleared to reveal a pure blue sky and also that they had arrived in a new country.
"Hey guys, we're almost here…" but he was interrupted by a breaking news story on the radio station.
"And with breaking news here on ForeverSound FM we have just received a report on the story related to the killings that a new body has been found mauled and dumped on the outskirts of Westopolis. The identity of this victim has yet to be confirmed but all we know is that it was probably male due to the lack of clothing found on the scene, unless other things had been going on before the death…"
Tails turned it off in shock, "Another?"

(A/N: Okay, shut up, it's not really a chapter. It's not even half a chapter. XD - Two pages, Wow. -.-
I kinda forgot about the story… I keep getting new ideas that won't leave me alone. I've written so many one-shot stories and finished them that it isn't funny I even have like a series of about seven 5000 word stories somewhere… .; but I managed to find this that I'd half written. Instead of just leaving it completely unfinished I'm going to just wing it and get it over with. Please review what you read or didn't :l suggestions are welcome and let me know if there are any errors. Thanks.)
