Serendipity

Chapter 16: Ardor

Afterschool came and Sonic walked alongside Amy. He was going to walk her home that afternoon. Honey and Mighty were together near the exit of the school watching them leave the gates. Mighty's eyes narrowed and a smirk came about. He put his hands on his hips and leaned back. 'So he listened,' He thought to himself smugly.

He was aware that Sonic wasn't planning on letting Amy out of his sight. Earlier, Sonic confronted Mighty of Scourge's actions. Mighty didn't like the sound of how Sonic had described Scourge and Sonic asked him to be on lookout for any other activities he found suspicious. Sonic was changing a few of his rules and was going to pull up strings from the sound of it. Finally he was acting up. The threats pulled on Amy triggered a nerve that was touched and since he found Amy important to him he had all defenses up now.

Mighty let a small chuckle at the thought.

That girl was becoming his weaknesses. That girl alone already changed so many things Sonic did not possess before. He was impressed and wondered why this girl and this girl only caused him to react the way he did. It could be he's interested in her, he thought, or that she has something he wants. Mighty didn't know and hopefully it didn't occur to her being used. He liked seeing the two together. It made him smile.

Honey, on the other hand, didn't look to happy. She glared at Sonic and crossed her arms turning to Mighty. She noticed their glances went the same way and pushed him. Mighty broke from the trance and staggered back with his hands up defensively. "What did I do?"

"Amy's your friend, right? That sight shouldn't be in the slightest amusing!" She said snarky towards him.

"What do you mean?" Mighty chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm just happy for them."

"What?!" Honey exclaimed hurting his ears. He winced and turned to face Sonic and Amy as they turned around the corner down the sidewalk. 'Honey, you're being loud,' "They're dating?!"

"No," Mighty said turning his focus back on Honey. She looked so upset with the idea and wondered. He stood firmly. "Would you feel jealous if they were, though?"

"No, Mighty." She sighed holding her forehead. "I'm worry about Amy. It's just I don't think Sonic's a good influence on her."

"Maybe," He shrugged smugly mentally apologizing on Sonic's part. "But then again Amy would have distanced herself from him and she hasn't meaning Sonic has better character. They're changing as they're friendship grows."

Honey's eyes widened as her mouth opened slightly. Such words she was hearing made her brain numb, but Mighty looked confident as he spoke. She leaned forward her eyes squinted and Mighty moved back. "Are you saying this because you're suddenly really observantly smart or did Amy tell you something?"

Mighty blinked looking confused. "Tell me what?"

Honey looked away drops of sweat on the side of her forehead. Of course, it had to be the first choice. Amy had only told her and Cream about her slight crush on Sonic, but since then it hadn't been brought up again. She wondered if her feelings developed throughout the time. Honey sighed and grabbed Mighty's arm.

"C'mon, we still have to find everyone and finish that project." She sounded defeated and pulled him the opposite direction. Mighty smiled genuinely at her and let her pull him away. Still, when he looked back at where Sonic and Amy were once, he couldn't help but smile warmly knowing that his words brought a sort of light upon them. Now it was up to Sonic to take lead.

.:xXx:.

Amy knocked on the door of her house when she found it locked. She waited for a response but nothing. Her grandfather wasn't home.
