Me: Wow. Can you believe it guys? The final chapter of Amy's last Shot. Well as once written "nothing gold can stay. Anyway most people only thank reviewers but this time, seeing as this is the last chapter I am going to thank everyone who has not only reviewed but favorite or set to alert. Which has grown to be quite a long list. So here you are everyone who has made this story worth writing:

For those who fit the last two categories but not the first I want to remind you that this is the final chapter so you should leave the story behind with a review, even if you have reviewed in the past. Second if this chapter is kinda short because I was running low on concepts but I did finally come up with something were it cuts between interviewers with the racers and their friends. I hope you like it. That said one last huge thank you to Gargel, who allowed this story to exist.
Chapter 11: And the winner is…
Sonic looked into the mirror. He made an angry face, then let his usually smirk take over. He picked up his gloves and pulled them on tight one at a time. He grabbed his socks which he quickly tucked over his toes. Then finally his hands rested on his trademark sneakers which he put on and then grinned back at the mirror. He slicked back each quill and then spoke to himself of someone else. "Amy Rose," Sonic announced out loud, "You are the most beautiful, fantastic, amazing… the point is you are perfect. But that is not gonna win you this race." He rubbed his nose and walked out the door.
…
Amy made sure everything was on right. She pulled her boots on tighter. She attempted to get rid of the wrinkles in her skirt. She placed her band perfectly on her head. She then reached for the blue rose. She smiled and tucked it into her band. She looked at her mirror and grinned. "Sonic the hedgehog," She began, "you are the most amazing boys I've ever met. And you know how much I love you… And that is why I have to win!" After this self declaration she also walked outside.
…
The 2 hedgehogs stood and waited quietly as the crowd watched silently. At last Tails and Cream showed up. Then From out of nowhere the various challenge directors appeared smiling. Jonman turned to the crowd and spoke. "Welcome to final leg!" The crowd erupted with applause, whistling, cheering, and swooning. He then turned to Tails and Cream and let them take over.
Tails turned for the crowd and began. "Indeed racers," He said with a broad grin," This is the final leg of your epic race around the world."
"This leg there will be no challenge," Cream explained, " As was in the original terms this will be pure speed." Sonic looked at Amy at this comment expecting a look of grimace. He smiled though when he saw it to be a look of confidence.
"Amy you have a ten minute head start," Tails told her.
"Alright," Amy responded. She looked around at everything, the Fans, the challenge directors, her friends, and finally Sonic. The boy that made her crazy enough to race around the world. The boy she had somehow made crazy enough to fall in love with her. The reason she had to win. She shot the boy a wink, "See ya at the finish line!" And with that she was off.
…
Sonic sat down on the chair and the man addressed him. "Have you ever been interviewed before?"
"I have been asked question but never seriously interviewed," sonic responded with a smirk.
"Well let's just jump right in shall we?" the interviewer stated," How would feel if you lost?"
Sonic thought for a moment. "Well I have to admit I would be a little ticked," Sonic answered ," I mean be tied down with Amy as my wife? I don't think I could live like that to be truthful."
"You know you sometimes sound as if you totally hate her," the interviewer commented.
"Hate her?" Sonic repeated with a somewhat hurt look," I don't hate her and I never have. I mean we aren't super duper close but we are great friends."
"So losing wouldn't be a total disaster?"
"I never said it would be," Sonic rebutted," I just said it wouldn't be all that great."
"Ok," the man accepted deciding to press on a different subject," You describe your relationship with Amy as friends though that is clearly more then she wants. Have you ever wanted something more as well?"
Sonic fidgeted a bit deciding what to say. "Well I would be lying if I said that I never wanted something more. It has crossed my mind from time to time, but for the most part I am happy being just friends."
"I'm sorry but that brings us back to the initial question would losing be that bad?"
Sonic paused before speaking."No I guess not."
…
Sonic shot off after the girl. He had admitted that losing wouldn't be that bad. But that didn't mean he wanted to lose. He spotted her on the horizon. He grinned. It was time to end this race.
…
"Wow," Amy gushed as she sat down, "I've never been interviewed before."
"Well let's get started," the man said happy about her enthusiasm, "Why did you decide to start this race?"
"To marry Sonic," Amy answered without hesitation," that's really all it is."
"Really? So there isn't anything else?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well," Amy pondered," I think it would be cool to be the new fastest thing on the world. And think how impressed Sonic would be!"
"If you were married would he really need to be impressed?"
At first Amy thought about saying something about Sonic being impressed would help the relationship. As true as that was she felt she should be honest. "I've always wanted to impress Sonic somehow, but that is harder than getting Eggman to stop gloating as it turns out. I think I kinda just want his attention."
"Well right now everyone's eyes, especially his, are on you."
A smile can back to Amy's face." So I better not disappoint."
…
Amy wanted to just stop and sit and maybe cry a little. Sonic had just sped by at mach speed. What could she do now? The fastest person she knew, the fastest person she would ever know, was way ahead in a race that, once he one would probably separate them forever. Finally she did, sit down on the grass, and placed her head in her hands. What a stupid idea this had been. What possibly went through her head that made her think she could win against Sonic? She was gonna lose and be left in the dust. It was just as another tear rolled down her cheek she felt someone near. She looked up and there was Sonic the Hedgehog extending a hand to help her up. She couldn't help but smile at his grinning face as she took his hand. He lifted her off the ground. She was about to thank him when suddenly, still holding her hand, sped off.
"Sonic!" She shouted hoping he would hear, "What are you doing?"
"I would pick your feet up if I were you," Sonic yelled back at the girl, "Unless you want an arm torn off or something."
Following his instruction she began rapidly moving her feet. Faster and faster until she realized three things. First was that looking between her own and Sonic's feet they were at the same pace. Shortly after she felt her hand free and it shot backwards to be shoulder level. Finally that Sonic was grinning broader then she had ever seen. Then he asked something turning his head.
"Do you know how fast you are going?" He asked still grinning. When he saw Amy shake her head he began listing increments off, "Three hundred forty-three meters per second, one thousand one hundred twenty-six feet per second, one thousand two hundred thirty-six kilometers per hour, or seven hundred sixty-eight miles per hour." When he realized still didn't know what he met he shouted it with incredible happiness. "Amy Rose, you are going at the speed of sound!"
Amy blinked. Wow, what an incredible feeling. This is why he ran, why dogs stuck there head out the window. It was incredible. She wanted to keep her eyes shut and enjoy the feeling when suddenly The boys spoke.
"I've never been able to share this feeling," Sonic explained, "This sensation that gives me a reason to get up and start moving… is something I've always wanted to show someone this amazing feeling but I never really could before today." Amy came closer to him running neck and neck both looking at the other.
"Thank you Sonic," She stated smiling, "But I don't know If I will ever be able to do this again."
Sonic sighed," So what? Right now you can so enjoy it." Then he smirked," You might even win this race."
Amy grinned, "Let's find out!"
And with that both hedgehogs ran off at supersonic speed. They spotted a large banner at the department store marked finish in large red letters. Then ran faster still neck and neck as they spotted various familiar faces getting ever closer.
They ran fast toward the painted white line on the ground. They looked at each other one last time and grinned. They returned the focus to the road and at last crossed the line.
"Who won?" Tails asked no one in particular. He then turned to the camera folks if you would all look into this booth we will show you the results."
The race contestants, all their friends, a few cameramen, everyone whose name appeared in the author's note walked into the room (big room right?). They took a look at the footage, and were blown away. The footage revealed just before each of them crossed the finish line Amy Rose brought her feet together right in front of the finish line causing Sonic to finish first.
All eyes turned to her. "Why?" Sonic asked.
"Because I think I finally understand," Amy answered, "You're scared that being married will anchor you and you won't have the freedom you showed me. I don't wanna take that away." With that Amy fighting back tears walked away. She finally allowed one to roll down her cheek when a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Thanks Ames," Sonic said smiling," But where do you think you're going?"
"Home," Amy answered quickly.
"Not a bad idea," Sonic stated smirking, "But how about somewhere more fun? Or where we can get something to eat?"
Amy blinked. "You-you mean you really-"
"Of course I do," Sonic stated cutting her off, "Didn't I say that?"
Amy smiled, "Thank you Sonic."
"Not a problem," Sonic responded," Now how about-"
But he was cut off by the girl's lips. When the initial surprise faded he embraced her and allowed his own lips to do there half of the work. When they at last broke apart Amy spoke.
"You earned that Boyfriend," Amy said putting emphasis on the last word. Sonic chuckled. "What is it?" Amy asked.
"Nothing I just never thought that you would be the one that would give me that title," Sonic answered. And then the two young hedgehogs started giggling and then chuckling and finally laughing as loudly as it spread to everyone.
