Chapter 13 : Will I Ever See You Again?

The band walked out of the restaurant waiting for their tour bus to arrive. The crew had already left, they took a different limo. The girls waited outside with the band. They all were breaking down because the band had to leave so soon. All the band could do was hug them very tightly to try and calm their girls down from their sorrow.

(Tails & Cream)

''Tails please, you don't need to go now. Please say you don't have to go!'' Cried Cream as she rested her head on Tails's shoulder.

''I only wish I could Cream. I don't wanna leave either. But as a band member, I need to be with them to record this CD. I'm sorry Cream.'' Tails sadly said. With that said the tour bus made it to the restaurant and Tails said his goodbyes.

''Well Cream, this is it. You take care of yourself now.'' Said Tails as he was about to walk to the bus, then Cream spoke again.

''Tails?'' Called Cream as Tails turned to face Cream.

''Will I ever see you again?'' Asked Cream. Tails smiled.

''Sure. Sure you will Cream. I mean goodbyes aren't forever you know.'' Tails answered. Cream then smiled, and wiped away a tear coming from her eye.

''OK then, goodbye Tails. One more thing.'' Said Cream.

''Whats that?'' Asked Tails. Cream then walked over to Tails, she softly placed both hands on his face and slowly leaned forward and gave Tails a passionate kiss on the lips. Tails was stunned for the moment, but he didn't resist it and he returned the kiss. After twenty seconds, they both broke the kiss.

''I love you Tails.'' Said Cream staring into Tails's ocean blue eyes. Tails stood nervous but stared back into Cream's chocolate brown eyes..

''I love you too Cream, I always have done ever since the day I met you.'' With that said Tails had a tear coming down from his eye.

''Goodbye Cream.'' Tails finished as he went inside the tour bus and cried. Cream started crying as well.

''Goodbye Tails.'' Replied Cream.

(Knuckles & Shade)

''Why Knuckles?'' Shade cried out as she stared into Knuckles's eyes.

''It's what we do when we're in a band together. If our producer needs us to record the next CD, we need to do it when he says it.'' Knuckles replied.

''But why now? I was having such a wonderful time with you. And your producer had to ruin everything!'' Shade screamed as she cried into Knuckles chest. Knuckles also felt tears coming from his eyes.

''I only wish I knew Shade.'' He said as the tear slowly ran down his face. Knuckles then placed both hands on Shade's face.

''But no matter what happens, I will always be here for you. I promise that I will visit you again. I never break my promises. And that's the damn truth. Even if it means coming back for you.'' Knuckles stated as he wiped a tear away from Shade's eye with his thumb.

Shade saw a tear on Knuckles's cheek as well and she brushed off his tear with her thumb too. They both then stared at each other for about ten seconds, and then out of nowhere they both slowly leaned in for a passionate kiss. Tears lashed out from Shade's eyes as she was mixed with the emotion of joy from this moment. They both then broke the kiss and hugged each other tightly.

''I love you Shade. I always have done.'' Said Knuckles. Shade was shocked for the moment as he said that. After she looked in his eyes she saw that Knuckles was serious.

''I love you too Knuckles.'' Replied Shade. After that was said Knuckles walked into the tour bus.

''Goodbye Shade.'' Knuckles said with a lot of sadness with a tear dropping from his eyes.

''Goodbye Knuckles.'' Replied Shade. With that said Knuckles entered the bus while crying and Shade walked all the way home, who was also crying.

(Shadow & Rouge)

''I wish you didn't have to go Shadow.'' Said Rouge as she sobbed onto Shadow's shoulder.

''Ditto.'' Shadow replied very calm. Rouge then looked up to face Shadow's eyes and stroked his quills.

''I need to tell you something Shadow. Something I've been meaning to get off my chest.'' Said Rouge.

''What would that be?'' Shadow asked with a concerned look on his face.

''Shadow, all my life I have been wanting a man who would be there for me all the time. I thought I loved my previous boyfriends at school, but they only went out with me because of my looks. Not because of the person that I am.'' Rouge began.

''I only wish that I had a man that loved me for who I am. I need a man to love me, care for me and always be by my side. Not just for my looks, but for the person that I am.'' Rouge finished as she stared down trying to hide her tears again.

''Like me for example?'' Shadow added. Rouge looked really confused.

''What do you mean like you?'' Asked Rouge.

''Well, I love your personality Rouge. Ever since I saw you for the first time.'' Shadow stated.

''I'll admit, I do love the way you look, but that was until I got to know you a lot more. It wasn't just your looks that caught my eye, it was every single thing about you that stole my heart. What I am getting here is that...'' Shadow paused at what he was trying to say.

''That, what?'' Asked Rouge with a look of concern.

''Why don't I just show you what I mean?'' Shadow stated as he placed his left hand on Rouge's face lightly, and then he slowly leaned forward and placed his lips on Rouge's. Rouge stood stunned at the moment. But she couldn't help but return Shadow's kiss. The kiss lasted about a minute and then they both broke the kiss.

''That is what I mean Rouge. It means that I love you.'' Shadow said. Rouge's eyes widened. But she saw in Shadow's eyes that he wasn't even joking at that statement.

''I love you too Shadow. I have always loved you ever since your bands debut.'' Rouge said as they both shared a loving embrace. Not long after that, she saw a tear slowly dropping from Shadow's eye. She wiped the tear away and stroked his quills.

''Promise to come back to me after the next tour.'' Rouge pleaded.

''I promise you Rouge, I'll come back.'' Said Shadow as he raised a pinky to Rouge. Rouge then took her own pinky and wrapped it around Shadow's as a sign saying that Shadow pinky swears that he'll keep his promise. They both kissed each others lips lightly.

''I love you Rouge. Said Shadow.

''I love you too Shadow.'' Replied Rouge. Then Shadow made his way into the tour bus.

''Goodbye Rouge.'' Shadow said as he walked into the tour bus.

''Goodbye Shadow.'' Rouge said through tears as she watched her love walk inside the bus. Shadow also started crying while on the bus.

(Sonic & Amy)

Sonic was standing while holding Amy in his arms. Amy was crying onto Sonic's chest.

''Why now Sonic? Couldn't they have waited until a later time?'' Amy asked sadly.

''I only wish that was an option. If I had the choice I'd stay.'' Sonic replied. Amy then looked into Sonic's eyes with tears in hers.

''Please stay a little longer.'' Amy pleaded. Sonic felt tears coming to his eyes now. He couldn't stand to see Amy so sad.

''I only wish I could.'' Sonic turned to hide the fact that he was now crying but didn't want Amy to see. Amy knew that he was crying anyway.

''You don't need to hide when you cry Sonic. Real men cry.'' Amy stated.

''I know that, but you don't understand the real reason why me and the guys asked you girls on a date.'' Said Sonic. Amy stood there confused.

''What do you mean Sonic?'' Asked Amy. Sonic still had his back turned to Amy.

''The real reason why we invited you was not because that you were our no.1 fans, it was more to it than that.'' Sonic said very calm. Amy was still confused and walked up to Sonic.

''Well then, what was the real reason?'' Amy asked. With that said Sonic quickly turned around and yelled out his answer to Amy.

''Because I'm in love with you!'' Amy stood there stunned as he yelled that out. She clearly saw the tear stains from his cheeks.

''That's right Amy, that was the real reason. I am in love with you. I love you Amy, ever since the day I my two emerald eyes looked at you. It may seem strange, it may seem crazy, but that is the GOD honest truth. I love you Amy!'' Sonic finished. Amy didn't know what to say at this moment.

''Are you serious about this Sonic?'' Amy asked with a lot of concern in her voice.

''Does this prove anything to you?'' Sonic asked very calm and he slowly leaned forward to Amy with both his hands on her cheeks and kissed Amy's lips very deep with a lot of passion. Amy's eyes were wide open, but then she couldn't resist it and returned the kiss.

It was now beginning to rain very heavily as they both kept on kissing very passionately for nearly one and a half minute. They both broke the kiss and hugged very tightly.

''I love you Amy. I always have done.'' Sonic said while in tears.

''I love you Sonic. I always will, right now, and until the day I die.'' Replied Amy.

''I never lie Amy. I don't care what anyone has to say about this, I had to get my feelings for you off my chest. And at times like this I had no other choice.'' Sonic said as he looked into Amy's eyes.

''Would you promise me that when the tours over, you'll come back to me?'' Amy asked as she stroked Sonic's quills.

''I promise Amy. With every beat I have in my heart.'' Replied Sonic. The tour bus horn then honked for Sonic.

''Sonic, hurry up or you'll be late!'' Called the driver.

''Coming!'' Replied Sonic.

''Well this is it. Don't worry, I'll always be in your heart. I'll always be here for you, always. I love you.'' Said Sonic.

''I love you too. Goodbye my blue prince.'' Said Amy.

''Goodbye, my pink princess.'' Sonic replied. And after that Sonic slowly walked away when holding her hand and letting their hands slip away from each others grasps.

Sonic stood inside the bus, but turned around to take one last look at Amy. He then blew Amy a kiss, and Amy returned one of her own. With that done Sonic continued to walk inside and the doors then closed.

Sonic could only sit and stare at Amy as the bus drove away, and Amy could only stare as the bands tour bus drove away. From that moment on, Amy decided to spend the night at Cream's house, only to spend most of the night in tears.
