I DO NOT OWN SONIC

EXT - MILL-NIGHT

Knuckles is carrying Sonic in his arms as he flies back to Station Square. He stirs and begins to wake up.

SONIC
...Did we win?

KNUCKLES
Yup, we won.

SONIC
(beat) I need to stay away from Amy. This stuff is too dangerous.

KNUCKLES
Nick?

SONIC
Yeah?

KNUCKLES
I think you're finally starting to grow up.

Knuckles and Sonic smirk as they fly off.

INT - SCHOOL-DAY

Nick, Miles, and Dimitri are walking down the hall. They see Amy start walking up to them.

MILES
Oh dear.

DIMITRI
I think we should let Nick handle this alone.

MILES
Good idea.

Miles and Dimitri turn around and head in the other direction. Nick turns around in confusion, having not been paying attention.

NICK
Handle what?

Nick turns around to see Amy directly in front of him.

NICK
Amy?!

Amy has a look of affection in her eyes.

AMY
Hey Nick. ...Nick...I...

NICK
Amy...

Nick puts his backpack down.

NICK
What you said yesterday was true. I'm not able to commit. What I'm trying to say is, I'm not ready to get back together with you. I don't think I'll ever be.

Nick picks his backpack back up.

NICK
I'm just not reliable.

Nick heads off, leaving Amy behind.

Miles and Dimitri catch up to Nick.

NICK
Do you think I was too harsh?

MILES
To who, her or yourself?

NICK
We can't be together. It's too dangerous.

DIMITRI
Didn't you already go over that?

NICK
To you, yeah. But not with Miles.

DIMITRI
Point taken.

Nick takes a deep exhale.

NICK
Well, I guess it's time we get to class.

They head off.

MILES
Since when have you ever cared about getting to class?

THE END

TEED?

EXT - ANGEL ISLAND-DAY

At the top of the pyramid, The Master Emerald begins to glow strangely. An evil laugh emits from it.

SPECIAL ADD-ON

I was going to add this as an extra chapter, but the Terms of Service say I can't so it goes here.

I've gotten a lot of comments and PMs from fans (I'm still getting used to that) saying that this series and my writing have inspired them to take a crack at writing fanfiction themselves.

Because of this, I feel that I should share some of my tips on writing. Most of these I've learned from experience. So, with that out of the way and in no particular order:

READ

This one's pretty obvious. If you're going to write, read. Read other people's fanfiction. Read books. Read whatever you can.

READ BOOKS ON WRITING

This one's an expansion on the previous topic, but it's very important. These books are your friend. They'll teach you about pacing, tone, plot, and style. These are the things that will elevate your fanfiction to new levels. (I used Screenwriting for Dummies)

OUTLINE THE WHOLE THING BEFORE YOU WRITE ONE WORD

This one is incredibly important and only gets more important the longer your fanfiction is. You need to have a clear knowledge of how you're gonna end your fanfiction before you even think of starting to write it. Before I got started with Sonic the Movie, I had the whole trilogy outlined.

JUST KEEP WRITING

There are more ways to improve one's writing craft, but this is probably the best of them all. The best way to grow as a writer is to just write as much as you can. This is why I got started writing fanfiction. I was able to write a lot. And I've grown as a writer tremendously because of it. You'll be amazed at how good you'll get.

I guess that's it. Sonic 5 will be a little down the pipeline. I just have to tweak some issues with the outline and certain dialogue will take unusually longer to write for reasons you'll learn later. Bye.
