"I'm sorry Gold. Crystal didn't make it..."

I couldn't believe it. The words rang in my ears.

She was dead.

Crystal. Was dead.

My beloved serious gal is gone.

She never even knew I loved her.

Now what am I supposed to do?

Move on and pretend like she never existed? No. Never.

{ Hey Lucy, I remember your name,

I left a dozen roses, on your grave today.

In the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away

Just came to talk for a while,

Got some things, I need to say }

My knees buckled and I gave in, falling to the ground, tears starting

fall from my cheeks.

She can't be dead! What did she ever do to die!?

When I find out who killed her, I'll get him. I'll beat him senseless.

Killing an innocent girl who had so much to live for.

I'd always dream about our future.

I wanted her. I wanted to marry her. Be with her until I died.

But she died first.

I can't believe she's gone.

She probably died hating me.

I never told her.

I never expected this.

{ Now that it's over,

I just wanna hold her,

Give up all the world to see,

That little piece of heaven looking back at me,

Now that's its over,

I just wanna hold her,

I've gotta live with the choices I made

And I can't live with myself today }

Crystal, please. Let Silver be lying. Please. I can't live without you.

Please.

More tears fell down my cheeks, each softly hitting the floor. I choked

back a sob. Silver stared at me sadly. "Gold, i-it's okay. You'll see

her again someday."

I stared at him. His eyes were pained but not a single tear was shed.

"It's not okay Silver! She's gone! I should have been there to protect

her! If only I went with her, Ruby, Sapph, Blue, Green and Red. It's my

fault she's gone! I should be the one dead! Not her!" I screamed, tears

falling more quickly.

Silver just stared at me, eyes wide.

"And you don't even act upset! You act like you don't care!" I finished

ranting, my face shadowed.

{ Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday,

They said it'd bring some closure to say your name

I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance

But all I got are these roses to give

And they can't help me make amends }

"Gold. She wanted me to give you this," Silver murmured, handing me a

picture.

It was tattered and a bit scratchy. It was a picture of me and Crystal

as kids. There were tear stains, and not just from me.

"Turn it over," Silver said.

I did as he said and stared. In neat and small writing it read;

"Gold. Please don't cry. You will see me again, probably sooner than

you think. But I don't want that to be the case. Please don't kill

yourself to see me.

You have so much to live for. I'm sorry this happened. I didn't realize

how dangerous this mission would be, and I'm sorry.

Taking on Team Magma and trying to calm Groudon. What was I thinking?

You were right. I shouldn't have gone.

I promise we'll see each other soon. And I will be waiting for you. I'm

so sorry it ended this way.

Stay strong Gold.

I never got to say this before. But, I love you. I really do. Every time

you call me 'Super Serious Gal' it makes my heart flutter. Yeah you can

be annoying and perverted, but that's what I like about you. You really

can be romantic when you want. I wish I could have seen you once last

time.

I still remember the day we reunited. When you saved me from Lugia. I

was drawn to you again.

I'm so sorry Gold.

I want you to be happy.

But I don't have much time left.

Take care of Emerald for me, okay? He'll need you.

I know you probably want to kill yourself right now.

And I would do the same for you.

But I don't want you too. Just like you wouldn't want me to if you died.

I love you Gold.

-Crystal"

{ Here we are, now you're in my arms

I never wanted anything so bad

Here we are, for a brand new start

Living the life that we could've had

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand

Me and Lucy never wanna end

Just another moment in your eyes

I'll see you in another life

In heaven where we never say goodbye }

I stared at her words, wanting to scream.

I fell to my knees, holding my head and shaking violently as I started

to sob.

I couldn't take all the news I heard.

I'm sorry Crystal.

I can't take it. It's too much. Please let this be a dream.

My heart is getting heavy. I can't cry anymore.

How long have I been crying?

I looked up, Silver had gone to leave me to cry and night had already

come.

I rolled onto my back so I was staring at the night sky.

Crystal was somewhere up there.

All my tears have been let out. My mouth is dry.

A sword going through my heart couldn't even compare to the pain I'm in.

I never expected to lose her.

But she's already gone.

I had so much to say to her.

I can't take it.

Loosing you was too much.

I'm so sorry Crystal...

My heart beat is slowing...

{ Here we are, now you're in my arms

Here we are for a brand new start

Got to live with the choices I've made

And I can't live with myself today

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand

Me and Lucy never wanna end

Got to live with the choices I've made

And I can't live with myself today }

At least when I wake up again, I'll see you again.

My vision is blurring.

I know you didn't want me to die. But I can't stand it. I'm sorry..

I started to feel a tear drift down my face.

Is this my end?

I always imagined me dying a heroic death. Like you did Crystal.

At least I will die knowing I get to see you.

{ Hey Lucy, I remember your name }
