History Heartwarming / SonicUnleashed

** Towards the end of the game, when speaking with Amy, the player can choose to have Sonic [[ThrowTheDogABone sincerely ask her for a date.]] [[ShipTease Aww...]] And the canonical choice is to apparently accept, as ''[[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries Black Knight]]'' revealed that they had arranged a date before the game.

---> '''Sonic:'''Do I need a reason to want to help out a friend?
--->'''Chip:'''[''quietly''] ...Thanks, Sonic.
--->[''the two high-five and laugh'']

--->I will be there if you need me and I know you'll do the same
--->I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
--->You will be here, if I need you I will never have to guess
--->'Cause we are very special friends
** Anytime Chip meets someone new, he asks if they want some chocolate.

*** Pretty much what happens is, when Chip [[spoiler: flies off to finish fixing the planet by himself]] and Sonic pulls him back, he asks Chip where he's going, to which Chip responds that [[spoiler:fixing the planet is his responsibility, and now that his memory's back, there's no reason to get Sonic involved in this]], to which Sonic provides the quote above.

** Add to that, Amy doesn't mind in the slightest that Sonic may be cursed to spend every night as a Werehog. She promises to stick by him regardless. It's true that nobody else seems to worry too much either, but you feel like they SHOULD notice, whereas with Amy it seems absolutely normal for her to not mind.

* You can tell that Sonic was bothered by the fact that Amy didn't recognize him at first. Then he saves her and runs away before she can thank him. Who knew he really cared so much?
