It has been 6 years since I've last seen them both. I take a deep breath as I look out over the ocean, my head held high, trying to surpass my emotions, my eyes began to fill with sadness, I earned for them both, so I must sing in order to reach them both, regardless if it takes days, weeks, months, even years, I will never stop until they both come back to me. "Because they are special to me." I mumbled to myself, the wind was strong today, more than any other day, my hair moved along with the wind as I began to sing. I look over my shoulder wondering if they were right behind me. "Not today either huh." I sighed as I grabbed my backpack and reached for my mouth mask, I found it rather difficult to breath when I don't sing that song. I then pulled out my headphones. I slipped them on as I scroll through my phone to look for a song by The Freedom Fighters, I sigh as I was looking back to the ocean one last time before heading to school.
-Amy POV-
I make it to my desk just before the bell rang, today was my first day of high school, I looked outside the window as I was ignored by the people around me because I had my headphones on. I sighed again as time drifted onwards. The teacher enters the room as I take off my head phones, she soon calls out roll and then directs us to the auditorium for the opening ceremony. I got up and followed my classmates as I looked around the halls. I stopped by the courtyard as I looked off wondering about they were doing. I looked down as I then took a deep breath, I then ventured on bumping into someone. "S-Sorry" I looked up to see no one there, the people around me turn to look over to me. Crap I said it to loud I turn slightly back to see a tall guy going the opposite direction from everybody else. Do I know him or something, is it Sonic? As I was about to step towards him someone called out to me.
"Amy? Amy Rose, is that you?" I turn back to see a guy I had no remembrance of.
"Is this some kind of joke?" I turn to the side as I looked around.
"Hey!" he slightly raised his voice as he said. "My name is Scourge, don't you remember me, we went to elementary school together. It's Scourge, Scourge Heine." I quickly in my mind went down the pictures of all the kids in my class, as it then dinged on me.
"Oh yeah Baldy." I said in a straight forward manor as a few students around us snicker.
"Hey, I am not bald, I have a full set of hair now." I smiled up at him, though no one could have noticed it with the mask covering my mouth, I sighed heavily as I looked up at him. "Any way, did you make any friends so far?"
I shook my head slightly. "To be honest this is the first time I opened my mouth at school, most people just ignored me because of my headphones." I shrug gently as Scourge sighed heavily.
"Of course it is, why am I not surprised by it at all." he ruffles my hair slightly as he then takes my hand. "Come on let's go before the ceremony starts." As we walked down the halls he asked me. "Do you know what club you are joining?" I looked up at him slightly as I then say.
"Chorus." He chuckled at my answer as he said to me, "So you still sing I guess." He sighs looking up at the doors. He opens the door for me as he whispers to me, "I'm sorry for what I did, I hope we can be friends now." He smiled at me as we go in. We got separated quickly as I made it to the center of the auditorium. I looked around the place to look for him as a few girls squeal in awe, I slowly turn my head to where they were looking. There on the stage stood a short guy with a big guitar.
"Awe look at him, he's so tiny."
"I know right I mean look at him the guitar is bigger than him."
I look at the other people on the stage, they were getting ready for a concert as there were two guitarist, a drummer, and a singer. The tiny one stood at the far right, as the other guy, who seems to be a third year, stood at the left, down center was the drummer and singer. Both second years I assume. I looked around more and meet eyes with the tiny guitarist, he had in his hand a carton of milk, I couldn't help, but giggle as the guy blushed slightly and turned away putting the milk down. Have I seen him somewhere before? My thoughts were soon interrupted by the older guys talking into the mic. "Hello everyone, my name is Mephiles, and I am part of the light music club here." He smiles as the others were going into position. "Now everyone please listen to us, and if you do, I will give all you lovely ladies a H-U-G." he winks as the lights go dim and the girls squeal. My chest was getting tighter with excitement. The sound of drums played first. The singer turns back saying something about playing the wrong song, it wasn't until the tiny guitarist starts to play as the other guy plays soon after. "Just go with it." The singer nods as she began to sing.

"No way is this a Freedom Fighters song?"
"Yeah it's high school." Everyone begins to cheer as they crowd the stage. I looked up at the band as I started to feel light inside. Scourge makes it over to me as he takes hold of my arm.
"Amy are you ok?" I couldn't make out what he was saying as I stared up at the people on the stage. This is so nostalgic, why am I remembering them right now? I began to take my mask off as Scourge looks down at me, I clenched the mask in my hands. I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath.
utsumuku mabuta kojiake
boku wa iu, "kocchi wo muite" to
kanawanai omoi kogetsuki
bokura no ashiato someteku
subete tobashite yo sora haruka
I then began to sing along with the girl, my voice almost matches her, I become louder as Scourge looks at me and then around as the people look at me as they were stunned. I could breath, it was like my lungs were filled with hope, like they were all those years ago.
sakebe uta
kimi no naka merodi

sake-
The music stopped with the tiny guitarist dropping his pic, I panted as I looked back the guy. He mumbles something, I read his lips as they say Alice. I trembled lightly as he took off, his band members call out to him as I then run off after him. I can hear Scourge call out to me as I just ran. I bumped into a few people as I said sorry, but I didn't stop as I ran down the hall. I was getting closer as I began to call his name. "S-Silver" I cried as he turns I jumped into his arms wrapping my arms around his neck as he bumps into the wall behind. He growled softly. "Hey that hurts you know you have to be care-"
"Silver, Silver, Silver, it's really you, Silver!" he looks up at me.
"You still don't listen to when people talk do you."
I stopped looking back at him as I said with a straight face, "Did you shrink?" He huh me as he said.
"I've grown, I am 155cm you know."
I giggled as I said, "I'm 165cm myself." He clenched his fist. I took a deep breath as the silence filled the area around us. I soon began to sing. "La, la la." I continue to sing the song that was his all those years ago. I finally found you after 6 years. I began to slow down as I began to cry. "Why..." I trembled as I was wiping my tears off. "Why did you leave me all those years ago." I cried more the tears don't stop flowing as I felt his fingers slide up my arms, he takes my hands as he looks right at me, He was about to say something when I said, "You have long eyebrows, do you think they are bigger than your height." He stopped and pulled away he blinks as he sits up slightly pushing me away with his hands. They were placed firmly on my shoulders.
"Don't talk to me, I am not the person you once knew." he gets up leaving me there on the floor.
"Silver." I looked up to see the two guys and girl that were on stage. The girl looks from him to me as I looked away, I take the mask and slip it on as I began to feel the same suffocating nature I have been feeling for all these years. I get up as I looked back at them.
"Sil-"
"What did I say," he turns back to me as his eyes go big, he then turns away from me as he says, "Don't talk to me ever, Alice." he begins to walk away as the others soon follow, the girl looks back to me as she was hesitant on her turn to leave. I clenched my fist looking out of the window, as I try to surpass my tears. It really is him. I can't believe it.
-Silver POV-
I look back at my band mates as Mephiles says, "so that's the real Alice huh?" I stopped clenching my fist.
"Please don't say that name, only I could call her that." My face grows red as I look away. Avalon stared up at me as she says.
"That was your song she was singing wasn't it?"
"I already told you, that's my past, it doesn't exist any more, don't you remember I cannot compose any more." Avalon clenched her fist as Mephiles stares at her, Jet chuckled.
"Okay then Mr. Shorty, now we have to think about what to do for now," Jet puts me into a lock hold as Mephiles joins in. "Because the concert was a missed, so what is it going to be?" I was red now, as I shrugged them off.
"I don't know, and I don't care at this point, right now I just hope to move on ahead at this point, and figure out a way to compose again." I walk off as I looked up at the sky before making my way into the building. Alice, you and your voice belong to me and only me, I will make you forget him.
Me: Done...
Amy: Link to song is right here again: watch?v=rKhgZ4a0JZ0
Shadow: Killer sounds just like the anime.
Me: Kind of the point, but I did change things around
Silver: Next time On The Sound of Love
Mephiles: Will my voice reach him too?
