A/N: So after seeing the series finale, I decided to fast-forward the story three years to give it a little bit of closure to what happened. I hope you guys like where I'm taking it.
Sonic Perfection
Chapter 3
Strong Enough
"I have to go back." Jude sighed as she walked into her Notting Hill flat. Her bodyguard was stationed outside the door, and she turned on the alarm system. She sighed again as she turned on the TV and saw the vision she'd wanted for the last seven years. He finally did it, made a solo album.
"Here it is what the world has been waiting for, Tom Quincy's solo album debut. The album is entitled Never Too Late, and each song is a love story about the girl who long ago stole his heart. Quincy hasn't commented on the girl but, his fans have an idea that it goes back to the punk rocker, Jude Harrison who signed with Monalzi, in Yorkshire, England. Harrison's fifth album drops next week all over the world, and Quincy's album is dropping the same day." Jude heard the perky little blond say as she flipped the channel.
Jude went into her bedroom and got on her laptop starting the web browser directly to Tommy's site. He had a myspace that detailed every single thing about the album. She let a tear escape her cheeks as she read the words imprinted on the screen in front of her. It was the dedication from his album.
I'm dedicating the album to the red haired punk princess that stile my heart almost seven years ago. We have played cat and mouse games for so long I thought we'd never be together. This girl changed me for the better and she made me believe that the immensity of true love is greater than anything in the world. This girl opened my heart and made me believe in the world again after a rather dark time in my life. This is for you Jude, who inspired everything on this disc. One day maybe that punk princess will get her prince.
Jude now had tears escaping from her eyes. Tears she hadn't cried in so long she was beginning to think that she was made of ice. Jude slammed the computer shut and went to her closet, opening it and packing a bag. She was throwing stuff inside as she heard her doorbell ring. "Lydia, Sam, Karmen. I didn't expect you guys tonight." She said wiping a tear off of her cheek.
"What happened? You were fine about an hour ago." Karmen asked her.
"I'm going home. I'm not sure for how long but, I have some things to take care off." Jude said letting her three friends into her apartment and shutting the door behind her.
"So, who done it"? Sam asked her. He got a defensive look on his face.
"It's nothing. I just miss my family and my 21st birthday is in a few days and I want to spend it at home." He said letting her mind wonder to the conversation between Kwest and Tommy many years ago. She smiled at the thought and she knew she was doing what was right.
"Call me exactly when you land." Lydia said hugging her and she had to drag Sam and Karmen out of the room. After they left and Jude locked the place up again she called the travel agent to set up her flight and she put on her coat and left, with Bruno following right behind her.
Jude's legs were jittering the entire flight. As the plane descended she closed her eyes and she thought of all the memories with Tommy. Their first weird kiss, the first real one, her seventeenth birthday, everything about the night they finished her second album, everything about that day in the church, and the week leading up to her eighteenth birthday. She remembered the night that she chose him, and their first time. She also remembered all the little moments and the flooded her mind.
Jude got off of the plane and she ran through customs and baggage claim and straight to the heart. She ran right into G-Major where Sadie and Darius where at the front in a conversation. "Jude, I didn't know you were coming." Sadie said hugging her sister. "I love your hair." She said. Jude smiled as she remembered that it was red and long again.
"Its good to see you Jude." Darius said hugging her.
"Where is Tommy?" Jude asked.
"In Studio A." Darius said and as the words left his mouth Jude ran into the studio and was greeted by Kwest and the soundboard and Tommy recording.
"Can you give us a minute?" She asked as Tommy started Love To Burn.
Jude silently opened the door and she walked into the booth and slid on a pair of headphones. She looked at Tommy as his eyes were closed feeling the music.
Tommy
I've
seen you falling
in
and out of things
your
heart heats up

heart gets cold
lights
up and yearns again
As Tommy finished the first stanza he felt a presence with him and he opened his eyes to find Jude in front of him opening her mouth to sing.Jude

don't want a flash of glory
Then
you crash
the
what was that

Jude finished singing the first verse and she felt herself melt as her hand brushed Tommy's. She felt a passion ignite in her that she hadn't felt for a long time. Both
And
you've got a love to burn I
don't have love to burn
Kisses
for days
Don't
you wanna grab onto something real
And
never let it get away
Time
to waste
'Cause
I've waited far too long
For
the spark to become a flame
And
if it comes true
I
only have love to burn for you
They finished singing the chorus and Jude joined both of their hands together. Tommy felt something burning inside of him that he hadn't felt since the night Jude ended their engagement. Tommy
I

I'm
happy by myself
But

They finished the song their hands till intertwined and they just looked at one another for what seemed to be forever as the world fell away. Before either of them knew what was happening the microphone that separated them was an obsolete object that was pushed to the ground as Tommy's lips collided with Jude's.
Her arms intertwined around his neck not wanting to release herself from his embrace as his hands felt her body for the first time in years. The kiss was full of yearning and passion, and a fire that had been put out in both of them for the last three years. They reluctantly pulled way remembering that they both needed oxygen to breath. "That was, wow." She said as she caught her breath.
"I guess that was hello, wasn't it?" He asked her.
"I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry for leaving, I'm sorry for not letting you come with me. I'm sorry for publicly dumping you. I'm just sorry. I didn't make the right choice. I was an idiot, and to be frankly honest, I was scared because, I remembered your last marriage. I was a fool, and an idiot. I should have let you be there because if I had, my last two albums would have been freaking amazing." She said to him in one long breath.
"That was definitely a good hello." He said and his eyes met hers. "How about we go to dinner, and talk?" He asked her and she grabbed her bag and they left the studio hand in hand.
