A few days later, Amy was having a bachelorette party with her friends at Mayworth Manor. All the guests had received their food and drink and sat around the table in the main dining hall. Sira was at the head of the table with Amy on her left and Natalie on her right. She stood up and called for quiet. The guests then gave their full attention to Sira. \u201c\u2026Duty,\u201d she began, \u201ca mage\u2019s life is filled with\u2026solemn duty. I have commanded mages in battle. I have witnessed secrets be exposed to the public. I have represented the Mage Community of Mobius as we made first contact with the Transformers and the Nebulans. But none of them compare to my solemn duty\u2026\u201d a smile then graced her face as she turned to Amy, \u201cas the one officiating Amy\u2019s wedding to our planet\u2019s future king, the hero of Mobius, Sonic the Hedgehog.\u201d There were a few chuckles among the guests. \u201cNow, I know that, on an occasion such as this, it\u2019s expected that I be gracious and fulsome in my praise on the wonders of this blessed union,\u201d she then got a wicked grin as she looked to Amy, \u201cbut have you and Sonic considered what you were doing to me?!\u201d The guests chuckled again. \u201cOf course, YOU\u2019RE happy, but what about MY needs, hm?! This is all a dratted inconvenience! I was grooming you to be my replacement as the Grand High Mage of Mobius, and you decided to be Queen! And while you and Sonic are happily ruling all of Mobius, I will have to train my new successor! You all know him! Yes, I said \u2018him\u2019! It\u2019s a cat I believe you all know! The famous Spike Witwicky! You all heard of him! He\u2019s a tyrannical martinet who will never EVER allow me to get involved in non-crucial non-mage affairs!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat IS part of our charter,\u201d remarked Trema. \u201cWe can\u2019t use magic so-\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTrema.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShut up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, my friend.\u201d The guests laughed a little harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwenty years I\u2019ve been waiting to say that!\u201d chuckled Sira. She then turned to Amy. \u201cBut seriously, Amy, there\u2019s still time to reconsider, yes?\u201d Amy appeared to think on it for a second. She then shook her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNah!\u201d she answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo?\u201d Sira then gave an exaggerated sigh. \u201cAll right then.\u201d She raised her glass. \u201cAmy Rose, of all the students I trained, you are, with no exaggeration, the most accomplished of them all. You have continued fighting against evil, whether it be based in light or dark, and you are driven to continue. In maritime tradition, I wish you and Sonic clear horizons, my beloved friend.\u201d Sira turned to everyone. \u201cTo our planet\u2019s future Queen, Amy Rose!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo Queen Amy Rose!\u201d cheered the guests. Amy felt a few happy tears welling up in her eyes as she raised her glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day finally came. The venue was an outdoor one as they wanted to account for more giant guests. The altar was set up with Sonic in a tuxedo with a rose boutonniere on one side. Sira stood in the center of the altar as everyone waited for Amy. Sonic then looked down the aisle to see Amy. Her dress was large, had pink trim, and she wore a rose behind her ear. The organist then played \u201cHere Comes the Bride\u201d as Amy was walked down the aisle by Natalie. Once they arrived at the altar, Natalie took her seat and Amy stood opposite of Sonic. Sira looked at the two Hedgehogs and smiled happily. \u201cDearly beloved,\u201d she began, \u201cwe are gathered here today to witness the union of the Hero of Mobius and my most accomplished student. As many of you know, Amy was a little\u2026hesitant to give up her goal of marrying Sonic.\u201d Amy and Sonic winced. \u201cBut they both survived a year of hell when Mobius was under Unicron\u2019s rule and came out of it with a better understanding of each other. Knowing them, their love will help them overcome any obstacle, including any arguments that will crop up between them. Their strength will be an example to all of us. If there are any who object to their union, speak now or forever hold your peace.\u201d No one said a word. \u201c\u2026Very well then. Sonic the Hedgehog, do you take Amy Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife and Queen? To have and hold forever? To cherish for as long as you both shall live?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do,\u201d replied Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmy Rose, do you take Sonic the Hedgehog to be your lawfully wedded husband and King? To have and hold forever? To cherish for as long as you both shall live?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do,\u201d answered Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHave you the rings?\u201d The Ring Bearer then held out the pillow the rings sat on. Sonic and Amy each took one. Sonic then held Amy\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith this ring, I do thee wed,\u201d he declared as he slipped the ring onto her finger. Amy then held Sonic\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith this ring, I do thee wed.\u201d She then slipped the ring on his finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy the power vested in me and the unifying force of love,\u201d declared Sira, \u201cI hereby pronounce you man and wife! Sonic, you may kiss the bride!\u201d Sonic and Amy then kissed as everyone clapped, shouting words of congratulations. Sonic then picked up Amy and carried her down the aisle. Once at the venue\u2019s exit, Sonic turned back to the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see you at the reception!\u201d he called.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t take TOO long!\u201d said Amy. Sonic, still carrying Amy, then took off at his usual speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, come on!\u201d urged Sira. \u201cWe got a reception to get to!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reception was held outside the Autobot base. A band played music as Sonic and Amy danced. Amy was pleasantly surprised. \u201cWhy, Prince Sonic,\u201d she purred, \u201cI had no idea you could dance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt took me a while to learn,\u201d replied Sonic. \u201cI had Natalie help me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, is that why? I thought you were trying to get a magic teacher. She\u2019s great on both counts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNah, I think I\u2019ll leave the magic to you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grimlock and Slash looked at the happy couple dancing. Grimlock had a thought. \u201cHey, Slash, you ever think about getting married?\u201d Slash thought it over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026No, I\u2019m not into romance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFair enough.\u201d The two then heard Sludge groan. He had his head in his hands. \u201cSludge?\u201d asked Grimlock. \u201cEverything okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrimax High Grade should be illegal!\u201d growled Sludge. Grimlock and Slash looked at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt IS,\u201d remarked Slash. Optimus approached the three Dyno-bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow\u2019s everything doing?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust fine,\u201d replied Grimlock. \u201c\u2026Although, me and my team need to discuss our flight path to Animatros.\u201d Optimus arched an eyebrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnimatros? Why there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause we\u2019re going there. Not with the rest of the refugees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, wait, wait, hold up! What are you saying?! You\u2019re NOT going back to Cybertron with us?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo. Cybertron doesn\u2019t feel like home anymore. Now, Animatros, on the other servo, I don\u2019t know, I guess our beast modes feel more at home there. Plenty of space and a planet full of beasts like us, why not become Maximals?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe only downside is,\u201d snarled Slash, \u201cI\u2019d have to deal with the Vermin more often!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, for Umbra\u2019s sake, just marry him already!\u201d snapped Sludge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe already is! To Botanica!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The tree femme?\u201d asked Grimlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Optimus was talking to the Dyno-bots, Sonic and Amy finished their dance and spoke with Sira and Aleena. \u201cThat was a lovely speech at the ceremony,\u201d Amy praised Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was from the heart,\u201d answered Sira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd don\u2019t worry about your position on the Council,\u201d chuckled Sonic. \u201cI\u2019ll make sure you have plenty of time on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, like Hell you\u2019ll put me on that Council!\u201d remarked Sira. That prompted a laugh from everyone. \u201cI have too much power as it is!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeaking of power,\u201d mused Aleena, \u201cyou two, we need to discuss when you\u2019ll take the throne.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, yeah,\u201d winced Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo hurry, of course, but I WOULD like to know.\u201d Sonic and Amy then looked at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI WOULD like Optimus to see it,\u201d said Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026How about a month after our one-year anniversary?\u201d suggested Sonic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPerfect!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA month after your one-year anniversary?\u201d asked Aleena. \u201cMore than enough time to get you two settled in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLadies, gentlemen, and all other gender identifications,\u201d called Blaster, \u201cit\u2019s time for the last song. Like Optimus and Blackarachnia, Sonic and Amy picked the same song out while they spoke to me in secret.\u201d Sonic and Amy goggled at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou like Sinatra too?!\u201d they yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd given that we\u2019re closing the book on a great deal of things,\u201d continued Blaster, \u201cI think this song is very appropriate for this time.\u201d Sonic and Amy got up as Blaster nodded to his cassettes. They then played some smooth jazz as Sonic and Amy danced slowly. Blaster then sang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
