A/N: Hey guys! This is my newest story, and in a new genre, Angst, too! It's only going to be around 5 chapters long so don't hope for an epic…

"Talking…,;?!"

'Thinking…,;?!'

"LOUD YELLING!!!"

You know the deal, let's get this story moving!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own the Sonic Series of Products (Sonic Team, Sonic Team USA…etc. etc. etc.) 'Cuz if I did I would be rolling in the billions of dollars this series makes.

Sonic is 15 in this story, Rosemary (Sonic's mom) is 43, Timothy (Sonic's dad) is 41

"Maria…" Shadow whispered as his Super form began the power down. Sonic was trying to reach the falling lemon-colored hedgehog. "This what you wanted, right?" Tears began to fall down Sonic's cheeks, as he watched his rival lose his Super form and fall to his death. "This is my promise I made to you…" Shadow disappeared as he fell onto the Earth.

"No!" Sonic yelled as he tried to find his friend. "Shadow!" Sonic began to lose his form too. His mind was telling him to get back to the ARK, but his heart was telling him to find his friend. His mind won the internal battle; as he turns back to the space colony he saw one of Shadow's rings, floating alone. Sonic flew over and grabbed the ring and turned to the Earth one last time…

"I'm sorry…Shadow…"

Lime green eyes flashed open and a body sat up. "Huh?" Sonic said silently and looked around, and noticed he was in his house "Oh no…" Sonic whispered and frowned, leaning back on his elbows. "Not that dream again…" The 15-year old hero groaned and looked at the clock on his dresser. "2:47, huh…" he lay down to try and go to sleep but he only saw flashes of the dream. His eyes opened again and glared at the ceiling "I can't sleep…" He moved his feet off the bed "I hope I don't mess up Mom and Dad's sleeping time…"

Sonic opened the door for his room, walked past Sonia's room, and walked in to his sleeping parent's room "Mom?" the said sapient woman opened her brown eyes "Sonic ?" She asked tiredly as she looked at her Blue-furred son "What's wrong?"

"…" He looked down "I had the 'dream' again…"

"Sonic…" She sat up and woke up her husband "Come here…" The blue hero walked and sat on the bed, as his dad sat up and looked at his son "What's wrong Sonic?" The green hedgehog look concerned, at his son.

Lime green looked into Sapphire blue.

Sonic looked down onto the floor. "…I had the 'dream' again…" Both brown and blue eyes widened. "Are you okay Sonic?" they asked at almost the same time. "…" Sonic looked at the brown dresser in the corner of the room. "…Yeah…"

'No.' He said in his mind.

"Okay, baby…" Rosemary said worriedly, as she looked at her blue son. "I know I always say this but 'even the greate-,"

"Even the greatest hero needs his family." Sonic interrupted his mom with a smile. "Thanks Mom, Dad…" He stood up "I needed that…" He walked to the door frame and turned around. "Well… goodnight… I think I can go to sleep now…" He walked out of the room

The door closed softly. There was rustling in the bed as Rosemary turned to her husband "Do you think he'll be alight?" She asked the green hedgehog and his blue eyes move to her own brown. "I'm not sure…" Timothy wrapped an arm around his wife "That Shadow guy's death really shacked him up." The green hedgehog sighed. "Until he learns that you can't save everyone…" He closed his eyes "He's going to stay depressed…" He began to dose off.

Rosemary frowned slightly. 'I'm sorry son…' She closed her eyes 'This is something you are going to have to solve on your own…' She relaxed and slept beside her husband.
