OH AND BTW THIS IS TWO DAYS AFTER THE LAST CHAPPIE.


Chapter 9

The Other Side

Normal P.O.V.

Shadow stared ahead of the city, as the sun was blocked by the clouds, and he stood on a ledge onto of the tallest building in Mobotropolis which gave him a grand view of the city beneath.

Accompanying him was Rouge, who sat beside his standing form, also staring ahead.

Silence was heavy in the air, but they were used to it.

Because they're thoughts were only filled with what happened just two days ago.

~Flashback~

"What is the meaning of this?! SHADOW?! ROUGE!" Commander Towers demanded.

Rouge was clutching onto Amy, as tears streamed down her tan muzzle. She didn't turn to the Commander's voice, as she whispered "I found you I finally found you" into Amy's ears over and over again.

Everyone was as clueless as the Commander, as they saw their teammate get glomped on.

"SHADOW?" Shadow faced the Commander, as shock faded away from his facial features, but not from his thoughts.

He straightened himself up, and looked at his Commander. "Sir...it's...well...it's hard to explain...' Shadow said as he turned back to look at the pink hedgehog.

'She's alive...and grown...' He mentally took note as he scanned her.

Amy was having a hard time to grasp the situation as well.

'Shadow...Rouge...you're here but...why?'

"Well someone better explain to me what the hell is going on!" Commander Towers shouted.

Amy lowered her head onto Rouge's shoulder, as she relaxed and hugged her dear old friend back. "Rouge...I'm so glad to see you again..." Amy whispered.

Rouge gasped and pulled back to look at her best friend. "Amy..." she said, then her facial features hardened. "We need to get you outta here."

Amy froze, as well as the other teammates of Team Mist.

"What's going on?!" Jamie whispered to Raven, who shrugged in reply.

"Why do they want to take AJ away?" Cyro asked Darius, and Darius glanced at Conner, who also had no idea either.

Amy looked at her friend in confusion. "...What?" she rasped out "Get me outta here? What are you saying Rouge?" Amy spoke as Rouge widened her eyes.

"D-Don't you want to get outta here?! Aren't you trapped here?!" Rouge said.

Amy didn't relent on her confusion. "Trapped?! Trapped for what? Rouge...I have no reason to leave here..."

Rouge just stared at her in shock, until she narrowed her eyes and tore away from Amy and glared at Mr Rich.

"YOU! YOU DID SOMETHING TO HER!" Rouge shouted as she was about to charge at him, until Shadow held her back. "YOU DID SOMETHING TO MY BEST FRIEND! YOU MONSTER! EXPLAIN YOURSELF YOU BASTARD!"

"ROUGE! STAND DOWN! SHADOW, TAKE HER OUTSIDE!" Commander Towers ordered as Shadow took Rouge and dragged her outside.

Amy looked at the others for explanation, then at Mr Rich. "Was I supposed to escape? Is something wrong with me?"

Mr Rich shook his head "Don't worry Amelia, it's nothing you should trouble yourself with...Flame, take your team to the mess hall, I'll call for you later..." Flame nodded and they all cleared out the room, with Amy trailing behind.

The Commander closed the door and faced Mr Rich. "I have a feeling that there's something to explain...and you know it Mr Rich..."

Mr Rich smirked sadly "Yes...I guess you trust your soldier's instincts as well..."

"Only the best ones..."

"You may call them in again, Commander. I might shed some light on what's happening..."

~End Flashback~

"They had nothing to do with the kidnapping..." Rouge spoke.

"Can you even call it a kidnapping? He explained to us what really happened. He has no idea of why someone would fake the whole thing...Somehow it's a lot more complicated than we think..." Shadow said.

"...But who would set us up like that?" Rouge asked in curiousity.

Shadow shook his head. "No idea..." he sighed.

"It's even more complicated now that we have to keep it a secret from everyone, especially Sonic..."

"You and I both know that if that faker found out where Rose was, he woulds waste no time in destroying the facility and giving us more work to do..."

Rouge sighed. "I guess so..."

Silence filled the air once more.

"I wonder if she's happy..."

Rouge turned her head towards her partner, a bit of shock covering her features, till she turned back to face the city once again.

"Yeah...me too..."


~Mystic Ruins~

Tail's P.O.V.

The engine sputtered and gurgled as I work on it, hot steam hitting my face and making me sweat even more.

"One...more...twist...DONE!" I rasped in triumph as I shut the plane cover onto the engine and stepped back.

I took a small rag and wiped off the oil and sweat from my face, and I admired my work.

The X-Tornado was still here, and I still drove it, but it was new and improved with upgrades that i made myself and it still works as good as new.

I smirked and grabbed a nearby water bottle, taking a huge gulp.

'Not bad for a 15 year old to work on a plane'

"Mr Miles!" A mid-teenage voice spoke out as I turned to see Cream.

"Hey Cream! What's up?" I said, trying to sound cool, but failing evidently as she smiled at me.

" I just came to see if you were working too hard...And also, my mom bought me a new dress! Ya see?" She spoke sweetly as she twirled around. My heart swelled a bit as I stared at her. He dress was a peachy white casual dress, that reached to her knees and had orange flower prints all over it. She had orange ribbons tied to her now grown hair, and her bangs matched her big beautiful brown eyes perfectly.

Even though she looked stunning, a nagging fact still pressed at me to the back of my skull.

'She really looks a lot more mature...but that's because it's all my fault...'

Cream was supposed to be 10 years old, but something happened two years ago that i'll never forget.

Two years ago, I was working on a machine on how to extend the 'super' capacity of the Chaos Emeralds, since Sonic would always go super but for a short time only.

I was 13, and Cream was 8.

She was watching as I was making the final touches to the machine, and she stumbled onto some wires, but the machine just suddenly shot out a ray of Chaos and it bounced off the wall and hit Cream.

I feared the worst, thinking that something may have happened to her, but when I reached her, it was shocking.

She was larger, her ears were bigger and she had grown hair that reached to her shoulders. He clothes were small on her, as she struggled to keep hiding her underwear with her dress.

It turned out that the Chaos beam had boosted her growth spurt four years ahead, making her 12.

It was a hard day as I tried to explain it to Ms Vanilla, and I've never forgiven myself for what happened.

It was even harder when I found out it was impossible to change Cream back to the way she was.

We all thought she was going to stay that way forever, but Chaos was kind to me.

She kept growing normally over the years, and now she's (supposedly) 14. She's a lot more mature than we thought she would be, since the majority of us actually thought her brain would be four years younger than her age. But she adapted quickly.

And the years have treated her well.

"Well, is it nice?" Cream asked, her wide brown eyes shimmering.

I smiled. "Yeah, it looks good on you..." she beamed.

"So Mr Miles, are you done working on the X-Tornado?" I turned to her, kinda annoyed that she still calls me 'Mr Miles'.

"Yeah , I did...and also" I slowly started to walk up to her.

"Mr Miles?" She looked confused, then slightly worried as I didn't reply and kept approaching her. She stepped back and her back hit the edge of the metallic desk as she let out a slight gasp.

She turned her head a bit to glance back at the desk, her large ears swaying. I placed both of my hands on to the desk, one on each side of her body, trapping her with my arms.

She looked up at me, a slight blush tinting her cheeks.

I leaned in close enough to whisper. "Cream...it's Tails..."

She blinked as confusion covered her face again.

"How many times have I told you to call me Tails?" I whispered softly as an embarrassed blush filled her cheeks.

"I-I u-um s-sorry" she stuttered and I inwardly smirked.

'Wow, the "take charge bad-ass" method really does work' I noted as I leaned in closer. I sniffed her a bit.

'She smell just like fresh vanilla cream...ha...'

"Maybe you need some punishment to learn..." I said in a husky voice.

He whole face lit up. "P-P-Punishment?! W-Wha...What kind, M-Mr Tails?" she spoke as she tried to lean back even further.

Alright, I know I'm cruel but I'm not backing down now, it's too late.

"Doesn't matter really, until you say my name..." I said in a whisper as I glanced at her lips.

"B-But Mr Mile-I Mean...Mr Tails, I can't just-"

"Cream, it's just 'Tails', no 'Mr' involved"

"B-But Mr Tails I-"

I half-lidded my eyes and hardened my gaze a bit, staring directly into her brown orbs. I leaned in further and our lips were centimeters apart.

"Tails. S. Like my namesake. Say it."

She breathed lightly and gulped. "T-T-Tails"

I smirked a bit. "Repeat it"

"T-Ta-Tails."

I nodded. "Again. Without stuttering"

She shut her eyes a bit a lowered her head. "Like your name sake. T..."

"A..."

"I..."

"L..."

"S..."

She glanced up at me and looked at my lips. "Tails..." she said in a hushed voice.

I glanced at her lips and slowly leaned in.

'Closer..closer...so close...'

"Hey Tails have you see-OH SHIT"

My ears perked as I saw Manic standing there with wide eyes.

I widened my eyes, a blush rising up from my throat, as tore away from Cream, who was also shocked and blushing.

"U-Um sorry, I'll just go" Manic said as he exited the room.

The heat of the blush was burning me, and I glanced back at Cream, who was smoothing out her dress in attempt to avoid the situation.

I sighed a bit and rubbed the back of my head.

'Dammit...great timing Manic...'

We stayed silent, and I turned to work on the X-Tornado again, even though I had just finished working on it.

I dropped to the ground to glance under it.

I heard Cream's feet move, and I knew she was heading for the way out.

I was wrong as i saw her drop my toolbox next to me, and she kneeled onto the ground beside me.

"i think you might need some help with this...so I'm here if you need me...Tails..." Cream said with a blush as she looked away.

I smiled, a real smile gracing my face as some of my blood rush faded.

"Thanks Cream"


~In Another Part Of The City~

Silver's P.O.V.

"Hurry up and get dressed, Silv, we gotta meet up with Sally and Sonic later." Blaze said as she climbed out of the bed and started to put on her bra and underwear.

I sat up, the bed's blanket covering my lower part.

I watched her get dressed.

'If only I could've had the chance to hold her longer...'

For those who don't know, we're not a couple.

We're not even dating.

We used to be good friends, Blaze and I, until we moved on to being Friends With Benefits.

It was her idea actually, and I was happy to oblige because I could get a free lay whenever I wanted to.

Sorry, I'm lying.

I actually agreed to this because I loved Blaze, and I knew I couldn't ever have her, so i figured 'Let's do this, so i could at least hold her in my arms whenever I want to, before it's all over.'

So we created a plan, and we would always meet up for our daily 'routine'.

It was amazing.

She felt amazing.

But the downside is that I can't tell her how I really feel about her.

That's because of the rules we had made.

And the no.1 most important rule was if one of us falls in love with the other, then we have to break it off.

I really don't want that, so i'll keep bottling up my feelings until forever ends.

Because I don't want to lose the best person in my life.

'SILVER! GET READY OR WE'LL BE LATE AND THEY'LL GET SUSPICIOUS!"

Oh yeah, and one more thing.

None of our friends know about our relationship except for me and Blaze.

Crazy life, isn't it?


~Eggman's Base~

Eggman's P.O.V.

"Damned stupid hedgehog...always destroying my robots..." I muttered in disgust as I began to repair another robot that had been smashed by that wretched blue rat.

Frustrated, I gripped the wrench in my hand and threw it across the room.

I sighed and moved over to my main computer screen.

I grabbed a nearby remote and turned it on.

I blinked in confusion as the screen was pitch black with a light blue blinking line.

I flipped through the channels, but there was only blackness and that blinking blue line.

"What in the name of..?" I pressed the off button, but it wouldn't turn off. (Sounds familiar, doesn't it? XP MLIN The Prequel Chps. 4 & 5)

That is, until the blinking blue line started to me, with letters appearing after it.

My eyes widened as the letters were combined into words.

Hello Ivo Robotnik_

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

Why Are You Yelling? There's no need for that..._

"WHO'S DOING THIS?! IS THIS THAT YELLOW BRAT THAT FIGHTS WITH THAT BLUE HEDGEHOG?!

Funny, Dr Robotnik, but no, this isn't Miles Prower. I am simply here to inform you of something._

"Did you really have to hack into my main COMPUTER?!"

Yes, Yes I did._

I crossed my arms.

"Well? SPEA-ER TYPE ALREADY"

Well, I'll get to that, but first, a question_

I raised an eyebrow.

Are you still searching for Amy Rose?_

That caught me off guard, since I haven't heard of Ms Amy in years.

Ms Amy?! Since when did I call that pink fur-ball by her name?!

I looked at the screen. "What's it to you?"

Because if you are, I can tell you the exact location of where she is._

I looked at the screen, reading the sentence over and over again.

Then I bursted out laughing.

"HA HA HA WHOO HO HO HO THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!" I laughed until I calmed down.

"First of all, I'm not searching for that pink rat, I never was. And secondly, if I was searching for her, I would've found her by then..."

..._

I smirked in triumph as the blinking line didn't type anything.

By the looks of your recently used files, it seems that you HAVE been looking for Amy Rose these past years..._

I widened my eyes. "DON'T HACK INTO MY FILES YOU BASTARD!"

Stop kidding yourself, Ivo. We both know the truth. You could easily find her if you'd just accept my offer

I crossed my arms and looked away.

"Why are you telling ME this? Why don't you tell that blue bastard about it. I have no use for her anyways."

Ah...so it seems..._

Well...I can't persuade you, can I? But just in case you change your mind, I've saved the file tracker of where she is_

"WELL I DON'T NEED IT"

Just in case, Dr Ivo_

Goodbye_

And with that, the blinking line was gone and a new picture appeared.

It was a map, and in the center of it was a pink blinking dot, with the description.

I leaned forward as I stared at the dot.

I stayed silent for a bit, until...

"Computer, examine the map fully and tell the the exact location of where that pink dot is..." I ordered as the computer buzzed in approval.

'Is that really you, Amy Rose?'
