Roger Moontooth's POV
5 years in the future...

Life is getting harder on the field…

We do our best to save people who resist the evil force around this planet… but believe me when I say it's hard.
It's hard sometimes… Too hard. We need help, backup, more people to help us.
Where's the Sonic team? Where's Sonic, Tails, Shadow, Rouge, the red guy, Cream and Am…
Amy.

I can't lie anymore. I'm missing her. Every day that passes I think about her…
I try pushing out the feelings, the memories… But I keep missing her.
I… I can't love her. It's against the bible… She's married, taken, forbidden…

M-my dad says I should be with her… but that's just bullshit.
I don't care about some prophesy… I care about her feelings…
She loves Sonic, pure and simple.
Him, not me… but my heart doesn't seem to care.
I had a dream about her… where she accepted my feelings. But it was just a dream, right? It could never happen. Never…
…right?


Roger "Moon" Woodstock's POV
"Present" time.

Darkness.
Silence.
No single emotion or sound.
Am I dead…?
No, I can' be… I can hear myself think.
Or is this death? Is this how it is to be dead?
Nothing but a dark room of silence and your thoughts, a world of coma styled sleep?
My life ended that quickly…?

A giggle suddenly enters the dark room, a beam of light being seen in the distance.
"No silly." I hear in the distance, the voice being closer this time."You're too handsome to be dead, heh heh."
Who- who is that?
"Oh, don't worry. You'll find out who I am when you wake up. You're just in a weird coma right now, but you're soon going to be good again." The voice says softly. I believe it's a female…
But… if I'm in a coma, how can the girl talk to me?
"Oh, heh. I kind of know magic, so I can talk to you while you're in the coma. Didn't want you to be all alone and bored…"
I wouldn't really mind… I'm always alone. People tend to stay away from me, and those who stay close ether forget me or die…
"What? No. Don't say that about yourself, you're probably a great person. Just got some bad luck, that's all."
My whole life is bad luck…
"Aww… You must have been through a lot…" The voice suddenly seems closer than before, almost like she is in front of me.
But I can't see anything except that light… which is brighter now…
But yeah, I have been through a lot…
"Feel like sharing?" The voice asks caringly… She seems so nice… it's weird really.
I normally tend to be suspicious to strangers… but the voice seems to… calm me down… it's odd…
But sure… I can tell you more… It all started when I found out the girl I loved was a murderer… and then that she loved someone else and not me.
"Oh my…"
And I been in jail, fights and bloody treasure hunts… my past still coming for me, to bring me back into the darkness and steal the light in my life…
"Wow… You're a deep person, aren't you?"
Yeah… I hear that a lot…
"Yeah… Hey, what's your name?"
I'm not gonna tell you that…
"Aww, why not? Hey, I can tell you mine. I'm Brianna and I'm 19 years old, usually hang out with my big family and party at the village and we don't usually get visitors… Well, except you who dropped in with that hedgehog guy."
She giggles, the light getting brighter again. I feel so safe… Like I can tell her anything.
But I really shouldn't, right?
Wait… hedgehog guy? Andy? Is he alright?
"His name is Andy? That's a great name. And yeah, he's alright. Just partying with some of my cousins. But hey, I never got your name darkness guy."
Fine… I'm Roger. But call me Moon.
"Moon? I like that nickname. It's so dark, deep and mysterious…"
She giggles again, the light being even brighter. I actually believe there is more light that darkness right now…
"But why were you in jail, Moon?" She asks me, the voice being only inches away from me…
Well… I wanted to earn forgiveness to my crimes, even if it meant my death. I really done some bad things in my life, which I do regret.
"But… hey." I suddenly feel a comforting hand on my shoulder, and a footstep as well as she speaks. What's happening…? "You shouldn't let your past and inner darkness get you. The present and feelings is the only thing you have. Focus on it. Let it all out. We all do bad things, but we need to move on. Let the past go, Moon. Let it go."
I- I… Well I guess you are right. All these times I focused to much on my past and to hide my feelings. I should let it out, enjoy life and find new things… Thank you Brianna. Thank you for making me understand.

She smiled as me, and it occurs to me that I can see her. She's a dark brown wolverine with a red-green mixed hair color and a white Spanish dress. How…?

"No problem, Moon. But I think it's time for you to wake up, right?" She says as the light comes over me, and my eyes begin to open…

"Welcome back to the world of the living Moon." Brianna says, sitting next to my bed. "Great to finally talk to you in person. You really are good looking."
