Sonic 06' 10 years later Chapter 11, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

Welcome, one and all to my next instalment of Sonic 06, 10 years later.

This is a song-fic, unlike the other chapters. Enjoy. Review please ;)

Chapter 11, Go back to the start.

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one

Mephiles seethed with jealousy, Shadow had it all, good friends that stood up for him, Wife, Kids, good looks.. Even absorbing his shadow didn't get Mephiles any closer to having what Shadow did. Shadow always had been taller than him, happier than him, more forgiving towards humans than him.. In short, better than him. He remembered it all…

People seem to love you They gravitate towards you

That's why I started to hate you so much And I just completely ignored you

Shadow had plenty of admirers, though back then they were wary of showing their opinion on the Ultimate Life Form. Mephiles however, earned instant hatred, top quality, for something as innocent as an ordinary glance at the surroundings. This fueled Mephiles' lust for power more so, making him more ruthless, frightening and dangerous, though Shadow never knew.

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years All the pain I've caused you The constant flow of all the tears Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love And if it's not too late Could you please find it deep within your heart To try and go back go back to the start Go back to the start

If Mephiles apologised, would Kiara willingly love him? Would Shadow forgive him for lying to so many people, harming Sonic, and making a princess cry? Never did he feel remorse before now. A new start wouldn't go to far astray, would it? A second chance wouldn't hurt.

But would they listen..

I've been so evil with my constant invasions But you made it so easy for me

You always rise to the occasion I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say But I found it so entertaining Messing around with your head

It was decided, a second chance was what he needed to show he had nothing to prove. Mephiles was now fully aware of what he had done ten years before, and knew it would take more than words to melt the icicles that had formed around Shadow and himself. He would take any consequence in his stride. He'd do anything to win his love's heart. Though begging and groveling wasn't exactly his style..

All he needed was to be forgiven, but to be forgiven he'd have to confess of his ten year jealousy. But it was necessary if he was to ever hold Kiara in his arms, so he'd do it. Anything for her.

This is not just a song I intend to put these words into action I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction

I don't own the song Go back to the Start by Lily Allen ( OMG! I used a Lily Allen song in a Sonic fanfic! Bad me!) I think some parts are really relevant to Shadow's and Mephiles' rivalry. You can't flame my take on it, I put heaps of thought into why else Mephiles would dislike Shadow, and I thought of jealousy.

Oh, and REVIEW!!!!!
