      Everything seemed to be returning to normal. It seemed that now they should be glad that everything was back. But no. They are still not happy with something and thoughtfully look at the ceiling from insomnia. Something is bothering them. This is especially worrying for Sonic. The blue hedgehog seemed to be lying on a soft bed, but could not sleep. Since his friend is lying on the floor in a sleeping bag and has been sleeping peacefully for a long time. It was good for him, but the blue hedgehog was tormented by his conscience and he could not sleep properly. He lay in bed, sometimes turning over on his side and looking somewhere at the wall. Same with Amy Rose in the next room. In the middle of the night, in the dark, when the hotel was closed and everyone had gone to bed, the blue hedgehog got out of bed and quietly walked to the exit so as not to wake up his friend. Coming out of his room, he stood in front of the room where Amy had spent the night and, holding out his fist, wanted to knock to talk about something. However, something immediately stopped him. He no longer understands what he should do now. Then try to avoid her and ignore her love, or reconcile and go to her. Even the words of Maria Robotnik, spoken that evening by the pool, were spinning in his head: — “I think that you are either a sick impotent person or simply an egoist. Freedom is, of course, good, but not from everything. It turns out that you seem to be some kind of proud egoist who loves no one but himself. Just because you want to stay friends with Amy won't change anything about her. The problem here is not Amy Rose at all, but just you, Sonic! You can’t forever run away from her and from her love, which she always shows you, and you, like an egoist, stupidly ignore all her love and don’t even respond to it with mutual understanding. Sooner or later the time will come, you may change your mind that you are free, like the wind, and you will immediately want to have not only romance, but also a real family. Otherwise, you will remain alone forever and die of loneliness and boredom. Because then you may never have any friends left. Well, look at her! Well, what are you?... Will you die if, for example, you suddenly reciprocate her love? Think about it!" Listening to these memories swirling around in his head, he couldn't dare to knock on the door. And who knows? Maybe she's sleeping there, and he'll only wake her up, which won't be nice. He himself is already confused, he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him and what to do in this situation. He wanted to go back to his room, but as soon as he left the room with Rose, he seemed to feel a piercing pain in his heart and could not take a step away from the door. I had to stand with my back to the door, sit down and clasp my legs with my hands, look through the window at the full and bright Moon. — Oh, Chaos, what should I do? Give me a sign! — she whispered where his eyes were looking, after which she howled at the Moon out of grief like a wolf. But then he immediately covered his mouth, afraid that he would wake up the neighbors. Fortunately, no one heard or woke up. In addition, he heard snoring from his neighbors and the snoring was noticeably louder than the same wolf howl. Of course, only Amy heard Sonic's howl outside the door, but she mistakenly decided that this was all her hallucination, which she began to have when she began to suffer from broken love. She continued to lie in bed, fooling around and even covering her head with a pillow. But insomnia bothered her.

In the next morning

      Without getting enough sleep, Sonic continued to gray all night until the morning at the room with Amy. The hotel reopened and everyone started leaving their rooms for the elevator. Only Amy still remained inside and did not come out. Sonic was probably already starting to go crazy from insomnia. Instead of different types of anthropomorphic visitors, he saw several clones of Amy Rose, who were dressed completely differently. One of them even came up to Sonic and said in Silver’s voice: — Good morning, Sonic! Quickly turning his head to the sides, he saw that Silver himself had passed by, and everyone else was completely different. Apparently he has definitely gone crazy and now he only sees her everywhere. — Guys, have you read my new watch poster? — Big the cat turned to the two crocodiles and showed them a poster that he himself had drawn. Sonic thought the poster showed Amy Rose wearing sunglasses and holding a watch. Rubbing his eyes, he looked there again and saw that it was actually Big himself on the poster. — Sonic! — he suddenly heard an echo that the sun itself addressed him through Amy’s voice outside the window, which was rising and temporarily looked in the shape of Amy’s head. — "No! I can’t do anymore (Censorship)!” — the blue hedgehog thought, clutching his head, and immediately knocked on Amy’s door. Rose, of course, heard that someone was knocking, immediately got tired from bed and, in a pink robe, went to the door and opened it. — Sonic? — M-m-m-m... Good morning, Amy! — all he could think of to say to her. — A! Well, good! If only... — she said out of boredom and lack of sleep and yawned, after which Sonic himself yawned. Still, yawning is contagious. — What will you do this afternoon? — asked the blue hedgehog, and the pink one thought a little and answered: — I’m leaving here and flying home! Besides, Cream has probably been waiting for me there and is missing me. — M-m-maybe you’ll stay for now?... I... I... — he began to twirl his index fingers and couldn’t figure out how to talk to her normally about his feelings for her and the pain that he began to feel after that yesterday and when she saved him from those four raccoons. — Come on, Sonic! You don't need to console me. I already understand you... You will never change... Apparently you and I really are not suitable for each other and nothing will work out for us. So goodbye! — she answered and slammed the door. — But... I... Wanted... To talk... With you... About... — the blue one sighs heavily and lowers his head. — I... Love... You!... — he adds and presses his forehead against the door out of resentment. He doesn’t even know that Rose was still standing at the door and even heard his whisper. But it was already too late. Her heart was broken the day before yesterday when he yelled at her. He can’t cure this pain in any way, because he doesn’t love her at all and never really loved her. And what did she even hope for then? With a heavy sigh, the hedgehog goes to the shower to wash.

A little bit later!

      Below, under the same large umbrella at the table by the pool, he sat, sad, also thinking about Amy and poking his spoon at the bowl of ice cream instead of eating it. He also had no appetite, because for some reason his soul felt bad. He always thinks only about her. — Hello. — he heard a familiar voice, but as soon as he looked to where the voice came from, he saw her again. True, this Amy Rose looked a little different. Instead of pink, she was all black and scarlet. Just like Shadow, but after blinking properly and rubbing his eyes, he normally saw Shadow himself, who sat down next to him, putting down his ordered dish and repeated with a grin: — Sonic, hello! — Hello, Shadow. — Sonic answers with a heavy sigh and continues to stare at the ice cream and poke it with a spoon, without licking a spoon. — Why are you so sad? - asked the black-scarlet one. — Did you eat too much ice cream? — Nope. No appetite. That night I didn’t sleep at all and it’s like... My soul is suffering. — all that the blue hero could explain. — In what sense? — ULF did not understand. — Amy... — Sonic answered briefly and clearly, after which he paused and moved the bowl of ice cream to the side, he put his elbows on the table and put his head on the palms of his hands, as if he was lying on a pillow. — I used to try to avoid her. For me, she was just a friend and I didn’t see anyone in her other than as a friend. She always pestered me because she loved me. I was more than just a friend to her. But I didn’t want to have such a relationship, because I was always free in the figurative sense of the word... Like the wind... I didn’t have time to look for a wife, much less have children... But after last night in Something has changed for me... I... I myself don’t understand what’s wrong with me, Shadow. But please, try to understand me!... — from what he heard, Shadow wanted to take a bite of his sandwich, which he took out, but stopped in time and looked warily at Sonic, beginning to listen to him carefully. — It’s as if I’m sick and this disease cannot be cured. Wherever I go, I’m everywhere instead of ordinary citizens and friends... And also instead of you... I see only her. All my thoughts now begin only with her, no matter how I try to distract myself from them. Moreover, it was as if my heart began to beat three times faster in my chest, although at that moment I was not running, but moving slowly... I also felt like I was sweating, although I was under air conditioning and breathing, as if I was tired and had been running all day non-stop... I even had the feeling that I was going to die if I suddenly took even a step away from her or let her get away from me and never see her again. In response, the black-and-scarlet one put the sandwich on the table and clasped his palms together and said: — All clear! Are you in love. — Do you think so? — Sonic couldn’t believe what he heard. — Don't think! I know. Trust me, Sonic! I've already experienced this before. And having learned that Maria may have died while remaining on the ARK, I had such unbearable pain in my chest, if only you knew! Well, until I later found out that all this time she was alive somewhere and hiding. I was even amazed that I spent many years in that capsule and still remained young, while she grew up and even grew old. But my heart felt lighter now that I realized that she was okay. And her illness somehow went away. — ULF paused, and Sonic turned his gaze at him in surprise. — Rose still managed to make you really love her. But does she know about this? — I... I don’t know myself? — he answers with a heavy sigh and turns on the chair with his back to his friend. — I’m even embarrassed to talk about it. I tried to talk to her about this topic... But she... She was offended by me because I yelled at her the night before yesterday, when we both first settled in this hotel... And she didn’t even listen to me, when I tried to explain to her... And ask for forgiveness for this... She said... That she would leave here and never see me again... And I didn’t even have time to stop her and explain everything... After this, he again held back his tear glands and tried not to cry. Shadow stood up from his chair, walked up to Sonic face to face, wiped the tears from his eyes and said: — You won’t solve anything with tears, Sonic. If you feel that you love Amy, then run after her while you still can and tell her in person! Don't repeat my mistakes!... And don't be afraid of anything! Just say... Shadow fell silent at this moment, but Sonic took the hint and took his friend’s hand and said with short pauses: — Chaos... Control! After that, blue fireflies formed around Sonic, which were attracted to him and Sonic suddenly disappeared with a flash, like a portal. — “I was right to believe in him!” — the Ultimate life form thought smiling about the blue hedgehog.

At the same time

      Sonic, first of all, under chaos control, ran to Amy's room, but it was locked, but a letter was left under the door. On the paper was written in large words: “A letter for Sonic the Hedgehog! If someone unfamiliar picks up this envelope, I urge you to give it to Sonic, if possible!” Then he turned over the reverse side, already addressed to him, and read aloud: — Forgive me for everything and for pestering you. Be happy and live forever free, like the wind, and forget about me altogether! From now on, I will never appear before your eyes again, so that you no longer see me with your own eyes and hear my voice with your ears, since I annoy you. I hope you will be at peace when I completely disappear from your life and will be safe, never again interfering with you and Eggman's affairs. Amy Rose. — having read the letter, Sonic immediately rushed through the window onto the street. - “What a fool I am! Why couldn’t I confess everything to her right away? I have to catch up with her and find her!”

At the same time: Again!

      Rose at the same time, having collected all her things, sat on a bench near the port and waited for the ship to sail up to sail away from this island. The steamer approached and signaled for all passengers to board. Among them was Amy, who went up on deck. On the way, she stopped for a minute and looked back with tears. — Goodbye, Sonic! — she added out loud, as if he heard her, and moved on. The steamer gave another signal for the mourners to leave the carriages, some more time passed and another signal, after which the steamer set off and sailed into the open sea. Of course, Sonic was a little late and the ship was already almost far away. But he was not going to give up and ran straight into the open sea without stopping, even not caring about his fear of water. If he drowns by accident, then let him, so that he doesn’t get confused and suffer from love later! And this way he will at least have time to run. With rapid acceleration, as soon as he immediately ran through the water, he did not even have time to plunge into the water, as if he was still in shallow water, although he was already quite far from the shore, which should have been very deep. He ran nonstop and didn't even look back. He always looked only straight at the steamer, which became larger and larger depending on the distance and ran closer and closer to him. He began to run around the ship, pounding the iron of the ship’s hull with his fists at the speed of a bullet and shouting upward in the hope that someone would hear him: — STOP!!! STOP!!! YOU HEAR ME!!! LET ME A ROPE OR LADDER!!! I WILL NOT LAST LONG ON THE WATER!!! HEY SAILORS!!! WIP YOUR GLASSES!!! But no one heard him from here from such a height, plus because of the noise of the mat behind the ship, and did not even pay attention to him. And he kept running around the ship without stopping, so as not to plunge into the water and drown, knocking on the iron of the steamer and continuing to scream in the hope that someone would hear him. Amy Rose was at the bow of the ship at that time, with her hands and elbows folded on the railing and looking straight at the sun, which was slowly rising and rising up into the blue sky. She also kept thinking about Sonic and mourned the fact that she would never be with him and she would no longer even want to contact him, since he was so stubborn and did not reciprocate her feelings. ♪ Every night in my dreams ♪ ♪ I see you, I feel you ♪ ♪ That is how I know you go on ♪ ♪ Far across the distance ♪ ♪ And spaces between us ♪ ♪ You have come to show you go on ♪ ♪ Near, far, wherever you are ♪ ♪ I believe that the heart does go on ♪ ♪ Once more, you open the door ♪ ♪ And you're here in my heart ♪ ♪ And my heart will go on and on ♪ ♪ Love can touch us one time ♪ ♪ And last for a lifetime ♪ ♪ And never let go 'til we're gone ♪ ♪ Love was when I loved you ♪ ♪ One true time I'd hold to ♪ ♪In my life, we'll always go on ♪ ♪ Near, far, wherever you are ♪ ♪ I believe that the heart does go on ♪ ♪ Once more, you open the door ♪ ♪ And you're here in my heart ♪ ♪ And my heart will go on and on ♪ — WELL YOU FINALLY STOPED!!! — Amy suddenly heard his familiar voice scream. At first she decided that perhaps she felt this way because she was suffering from love. However, she still heard knocking on metal below. She became interested in what was down there and suddenly saw him. She decided that she was probably imagining things and rubbed her eyes, but Sonic was still running around the bow of the ship and trying to shout out: — STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! — Sonic? — was all she could say. She couldn’t believe her eyes and ears that he had come running after her. But why? ♪ You're here, there's nothing I fear ♪ Then Sonic began to run out of steam and, tired of running, slowed down. Then the water stopped holding him and he sank to the bottom. Somehow trying to escape from the water and floundering, he continued to shout: — NO!!! STOP!!! AMY!!! — Hearing her name, she gasped. Was he really running after her? — AMY-Y-Y!!! ♪ And I know that my heart will go on ♪ Amy ran throughout the ship and screamed: — HELP!!! HEDGEHOG OVERBOARD!!! All the passengers and even the workers of the ship, as they heard it, abandoned their personal affairs and ran to the left side, where the blue hedgehog was carried away while he was floundering and drowning there. ♪ We'll stay forever this way ♪ — NO-O-O!!!! CO-O-OME BA-A-ACK!!! — he shouted and was now tired of floundering. A little more and he would no longer float on the water and would plunge deep into the water. ♪ You are safe in my heart and ♪ With the last of her strength, Rose found a life preserver on the ship with the inscription “Titanic 2”. ♪ My heart will go on and on ♪ Taking a life preserver and pushing aside a couple of people, making her way between the crowd, she threw the life preserver to the blue hedgehog, shouting: — CATCH!!! The lifebuoy only did not reach the end, falling only a couple of meters from the blue hedgehog. However, with the last of his strength he managed to grab onto it, accidentally turning it over in an attempt to climb onto it, as if on a boat, and put it on himself. Sonic stopped drowning thanks to the lifebuoy and calmly stayed on the water. He himself sighed heavily. At that time, four rescuers descended from the ship on one boat, picked him up and lifted him on board. — Guys, I think I know him. It's... Sonic. — said one of them. — Yes. I remembered him too. He saved my mom from Eggman's robots. — said another. Having climbed on board, the rescuers landed the blue hedgehog on the ship and put him on his feet, but took the life preserver back. — Thank you for finally hearing me and picking me up. — he told them. — Well, actually, we didn’t hear you, but she did. — one of the rescuers explained, pointing his finger at Amy. — And it wasn’t we who thought of throwing a life preserver, but she. — the other one also pointed at her. — She’s the one who basically saved you. — added a third. Rose emerged from the crowd of people looking dumbfounded and asked: — Why, Sonic? Why did you run after me? Why? — Sorry, Amy. I wanted to tell you everything in the hotel this morning, but I... — he didn’t have time to finish when he was immediately interrupted by the cry of one of the boys at the bow of the ship. — ICEBERG!!! WE'RE GOING TO CRASH NOW!!! Everyone immediately ran to the bow of the ship, a huge block of ice was approaching them. A little more and they will crash into each other. — Why couldn’t it be done without the reference to the Titanic? — Sonic addressed directly to the author, that is, to me. It seemed like this...

The End?

      But it was not there! Silver was flying in the sky on the side of the steamer using psychokinesis, and Blaze was flying with him. They flew straight towards the iceberg. — LOOK, IT'S SILVER AND BLAZE!!! — some girl shouted, pointing her finger at them. Silver removed the power of psychokinesis from Blaze and the latter flew down to the iceberg. Having landed, she absorbed all the power of the flame with fire, straining herself, gritting her teeth and screaming at the top of her lungs, she enveloped herself in a huge flame of fire. The iceberg on top began to slowly thaw and become smaller. — The iceberg is slowly melting, she won’t have time to melt it. — said Sonic. — We need to slow down the ship! — said one of the rescuers and ran to the captain's cabin. The captain was already trying to slow down, but the ship continued to sail faster. — Slow down the ship quickly before we crash into at least a small piece of ice! — Will not work! The speed is too high. We won't even have time to stop. — the captain said in panic, trying to stop the ship’s engine. Silver, with the last of his strength, tried, if not to stop the steamer, then at least tried to slow down its movement, pushing the ship with the help of psychokinesis along the bow of the ship and clenching his teeth. This made the ship slow down a little faster, but the huge block of ice still melted even more slowly. — The speed is slowing down, captain! CinemaSins: Well, someone saw Spider-Man 2! Train scene. AntiSins: Since when did references to other films and works of culture become a sin? — AMY!!! — Sonic shouted at the crowd who stood on the bridge of the ship and stared at the saviors. — What, Sonic? — The hedgehog ran out of the crowd towards the blue one. — If we crash and die, I still want you to know. If you let me speak. — Sonic said, holding out his hands and Amy took them, after which she answered: — Speak. I will listen and understand everything. — Sorry! I was wrong. Then, when the night before yesterday I yelled at you. I thought that when we returned back to our bodies, I thought that everything would start again, just like it was before. But I didn't sleep at all at night. My soul was suffering or I felt like I was sick. But my conscience tormented me and for some reason I had the feeling that I should only be with you, because if I move even one step away from you, then I will probably... Die... Or something worse... I kept thinking about you... And it seems to me that I... — he wanted to finish the last two words that he was trying to tell her, but Amy covered his mouth with her index finger and thus understood what he wanted to tell her. — I love you too, Sonic! — She said, smiling and shedding tears. She was so moved and so happy at the same time, as if her heart was about to burst and at the same time reboot again. — Prove it! — answered the blue hedgehog and all that he received in response, which he of course expected, but this time he did not resist and run away. Kiss on the lips. Their kiss lasted so long that they even forgot about the disaster that they were about to crash into an iceberg. One of the passengers even took out his smartphone and, like a paparazzi, photographed the kiss of two hedgehogs, after which he published the photo on his channel on the Internet with the text: “This romantic couple and their beautiful kiss may be a pleasant and farewell gift for you from me. Because this will probably be my last post. Goodbye, my dear subscribers forever!” Silver and Blaze's strength was almost running out, but with the last of their strength, the speed of the steamer's movement finally slowed down, and the iceberg turned into a small piece or cube of ice, which also dissolved and became liquid, plunging into the ocean. Following him, Blaze herself, having already cooled down, plunged into the water, and then Silver himself, letting go of the bow of the ship, got tired of holding on to psychokinesis and fell into the water. The silver hedgehog began to dive under the water, and Blaze, holding her breath, dived after him. — Someone throw them a life preserver! — the captain shouted, and the same boy who photographed Amy and Sonic’s kiss threw it into the water himself. Blaze surfaced, holding Silver, who was unconscious, with her and placed him on a life preserver. — Hold on! The rescuers descended on the boat again and swam over to pick them up on board. Sonic and Amy at this time ran to the tail of the ship, away from the crowd, to be alone, since they were now saved and safe. — You... Really... Me... — Before she could finish the last word, Sonic interrupts her question with a kiss and answers: — I love you, Amy. — And I’m even stronger than you, Sonic. — Amy answered through tears. Even Sonic was holding back his tears. Now they were both upset and happy at the same time. Simply put, tears of joy. Sonic was glad that, on the advice of his black and scarlet friend and an elderly psychiatrist, he changed his thoughts, ceasing to consider himself free as the wind. And Amy finally got her way. Sonic finally fell in love with her for real and this time he reciprocated her feelings. A boy among the crowd at that time wanted to delete the post with the photo that he had just posted, but he noticed that it immediately received a lot of thumbs up and most of the comments were like: “Oh! I know that one. It’s Sonic!”, “Wonderful couple!” or “Finally, he got himself into a relationship with a girl!” But he was still ashamed that he had photographed them without asking and posted them on the Internet, because he did this in case they died. He wanted to delete the post anyway, but when he saw a comment from guess who! an anonymous and unregistered user who posted a photo in his comment where they are hugging against the backdrop of the lowered sun on the beach with tears, hugging and sitting on their knees. In addition, he wrote: “These are my friends! I'm so happy for them that they finally decided to do it. Many thanks to whoever posted this post. I’ll keep it as a souvenir, and I’ll show you mine, which I made this evening. Just don’t show it to them!” After that, the boy changed his mind about deleting it and decided to let it be! And if they see it themselves, then he might try to explain everything to them.

To be ending
