Separated
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me and take me away
-Ocean Avenue, Yellowcard
How do we manage to do stupid things like this?
Maybe it comes with the whole "superhero" thing. Or maybe it's just second nature.
Your second nature, not mine. Everything I do has a reason.
Okay, okay, I'm kidding. We all do stupid things sometimes.
But we're a team. We work together. So how the heck do we keep getting separated like this?
It's always the same story: one gets teleported while the other stays behind, awaiting the other's return. We always seem to switch off in turn, don't we? And in the same place, too.
I say it's an alternate dimension: the similarities between Chaos and Sol Emeralds, heroes who are able to control their powers, and enemies "Eggman" and "Eggman Nega" are way too creepy to be a coincidence.
You say it's the same world, but in the past: Nega could be Eggman's descendant, and there are plenty of legends about the "blue hero" and his friends.
Wherever it is, we're always sent there.
And this time it's your turn.
Do you know how boring this city is without you and Nega? It's way too quiet; I stick inside to hide away from other kids our age. Most of them hate me, anyway. Every once in a while I get a call from Marine, but that's it.
I hope you're having fun, saving the past or alternate dimension or whatever the heck it is. You always loved any sort of adventure.
Do you ever say anything about me?
It's okay, I don't blame you if you don't. Saving the whatever-it's-called from impending doom is a little bit higher up on your to-do list than talking about your best friend.
Don't think I was using sarcasm or something, because I wasn't. It's the truth. In fact, I've never mentioned you either. Creepy, huh?
It's like we have two lives: one for when we're around each other, and one for when we're separated.
But we'll never forget each other.
One day we'll go together. We'll meet all of our friends there and introduce each other. We'll show that we're not alone in our own world. Separated, maybe, but not alone.
Because we're best friends, and best friends never leave one another behind.
A/N: Song today: "I'd Do Anything" by Simple Plan. Especially the line "will you remember me?, cause I know I won't forget you". I was originally going to have a chapter be about Knuckles, but I got the idea for this one before and it was easier and quicker to write. Oh, and I'm still grounded, but allowed to listen to one CD and play MySims, because I was dying of boredom.
I thank my little sister, because if she hadn't booted me off the Wii I would have never written this.
