"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams" -Jeremy Irons

Just sitting there playing my guitar right next to my dad's grave, I had to stop because I broke down. Then out of the blue I got a text from June;

"Where are you? I woke up and looked over and you weren't there and I searched the house, Are you OK?"

I replied;

"Yeah sweetheart, I just went for a drive to clear my head before the concert"

she replied;

"OK Dear"

I didn't feel like telling her, just for personal reasons. So then I hopped back in my car and drove off, I turned on the radio and I heard my song "All Springtime Long" again, I never realized

how big a hit it was, I looked at the clock and it read 1:45pm, man time sure flew. I decided to go grab some lunch, I saw a fast food place, figure I'll just go through the drive-thru and

order something and that's what I did, I pulled up to a giant menu with a speakerbox and the voice on the box said;

"Welcome to McDoyle's how can I help you?"

"Uh... yeah can I get a large number 3, no pickles, extra onions and a diet coke?"

"OK you want a large number 3, no pickles, extra onions and a diet coke?"

"Yup"

"OK that will $9.66, pull up to the next window please"

And so I did, I drove up to the window, paid the guy, got my food and drove off. I was driving and I took the burger out of the bag it came in, it was kinda greasy but I've eaten a lot

worse, especailly when June made meatloaf this one time, YECH!!...but don't tell her I said that. I was eating and it was good, my stomach felt empty as hell though and I don't know why

but anyways I was gonna go home and rehearse for the concert, and I got my lucky sheriff badge tucked away safely in my shirt pocket

[7 hours later]

"Fifteen minutes Mr. James" said the stagehand, I was sweating bullets, now sure this wasn't my first concert and it isn't my last, but still it is nerve racking. "Go get 'em Tiger!" said June

as she kissed me on the cheek, "10 seconds" said the stagehand, I stood there and I watched the curtain go up, and everyone was cheering and clapping, this brought a smile to my face.

I scanned the crowd for Tails and Cosmo, and I saw them sitting up in the first row, in the middle and Cosmo was rubbing her belly a little bit, they both waved to me as I waved back.

"Hey ladies and gentleman how y'all doing today?!" I yelled and the crowd hollered, "Now before I begin, this concert is a benefit concert for all those who we all dearly know and love

who had lost their battles to cancer, my heart goes out to all of you. Now let us take a moment of silence to honor those wo had" I said and te crowd was hushed, I bowed my head and

began to tear up a little bit, "I miss you dad" I whispered to myself. Then after the vow of silence I began to strum my guitar, "Alright let's warm up a little bit... here's a little ditty I like to

call, A lost Soul" and I began to sing. After that as we were going into the night I played something I knew they'd wanna hear, "Whose ready for a little? ALL SPRINGTIME LONG?!" I

exclaimed and the crowd ate it up... now mind you Cosmo hated that song as I promised never to sing it but I did, so looking at her she gave me a "You son of a-" type look. Now in the

midst of that song whilst looking into the crowd, I saw some guy stand up, I figured he was probably going to get a snack or go to the restroom. I looked down at my guitar then looked

up and then I heard a loud *BANG!!!* I was hit, I hit the ground, unconsious. I could hear yelling and panic;

"OH MY GOD!"

"JOHNNY!!!!"

"THAT GUY'S GOT A GUN!!!!"

"GET HIM!"

and then I hear *BANG! BANG! BANG!*

I woke up and found myself in a hospital room, I looked around and I saw June sitting in a corner, crying. "J-June??" I stuttered, "JOHN YOU'RE AWAKE!" exclaimed June as she rushed to

my side, "Wha- what happened?" I asked, "You got shot John" she said "SHOT?!" I exclaimed and then the doctor walked in, "Yes John you were shot, the gunman, Chap Markman

however wasn't so lucky, he was shot and killed, but what saved you was this..." he said as he pulled out, my badge that my dad gave me, it had a dent in it due to the impact from the

bullet, he handed it to me. "John... had it not been for this badge, that bullet would've pierced your aorta and you would've died instantly" and let me tell you that was a shock. I looked up

and said, "Thanks dad, you really were watching out for me" and then I saw Cosmo being wheeled into my room on a wheelchair, and in her arms was her and Tails' child as Cosmo had

gone into labor in the hospital, turns her doctor was wrong as she wasn't due in two weeks but actually the day of my concert...and what better place to go into labor than in a hospital?

Tails walked up to me and June while pushing Cosmo and showed us their baby. "John, June say hello to J.T" said Tails, I looked at him and he was a Seedrian just like Cosmo, "What's the

J.T stand for?" I asked, he looked at me and said; "Johnny Tails Prower" he replied, I chuckled. "J.T say hi to Johnny, he's your godfather" said Tails, "And June... she's your godmother"

said Cosmo. Me and June felt honored not only that Tails named his first child after me...and himself but they made us his godparents, I'll tell you there's not a better feeling in the world.

[THE END]

Hope you enjoyed, it's 3 chapters in one because at the moment I was extremely lazy... I still am!
