Chapter Thirteen: More To The Story
We are now back in the bedroom with the elder hedgehog and his granddaughter, Lily. Lily was all happy and joyful when she heard that Sonic and Amy finally became a couple.
"Aw, Grandpa! That's so beautiful!" Lily exclaimed. The elder hedgehog chuckles.
Yes, it was a wonderful moment. Sonic has never experienced what true love was all about in his entire life. And he felt so amazed by what it was really about." he explained.
"So, was that why his heart was beating like crazy this whole time? He was in love with Amy?" Lily asked again.
"Exactly, my dear. His heart was beating rapidly, because he had a crush on Amy. He never really knew it was a crush until he had his first kiss. The kiss was so magical, it was like voices in his head was telling him that 'It's called true love', if that makes sense?" The elder hedgehog explained.
"It makes perfect sense, Grandpa! I am so happy for Sonic. He went through so much in his life, and finally got happiness." Lily explained.
"Yes, it took him a while. But he got there in the end." he responded.
"So, is that the end of the story? Are you gonna tell me who he was now?" Lily grew impatient.
"No. No, not yet. Because that was not the end of the whole story." he replied. This made Lily really shocked.
"How is that not the end of the story? I mean, that's it, isn't it? He finds the girl of his dreams, marries her years later, the happily ever after, right? That's how all my fairytale stories ended." Lily questioned.
"Normally that would be the case, but what you are forgetting that this isn't a fairytale, my dear. This is a real story. So there is a lot more to the story than this." he explained.
"But what else is there to tell, besides the guy getting his girl?" she asks.
"Well, remember how all your stories have plot twists? Like when we thought Sleeping Beauty died, but the Prince's kiss brought her to life? And when the same principle happened with Snow White? Well, this is no ordinary fairytale ending, this goes further into the story than just a happily ever after. They fall in love, but other things happen." he explained in great detail.
"OK, Grandpa. But will you promise to tell me who this Sonic was when this stories over?" Lily impatiently asked. The elder hedgehog chuckles.
"I promise, sweetheart." he responded.
"Just one curious question though, Grandpa. You mentioned about knowing this story, but you were never even mentioned in this? Why is that?" she curiously asked.
"Well, legacy's are continued when stories are told. And this was a story that was told to a lot of people. I was fortunately one of those people told." he explained.
"Oh, OK. Yeah, I understand now. But it's still kinda strange how he resembles you in many ways." she thought.
"Yeah, it's coincidence." he chuckles.
"Anyway, what happened with Sonic and Amy next? Do they get engaged? Do they get married?" she asked.
"Alright, so going back into the story, this definitely becomes a night that they will never forget." he started, as he goes back into the story.
Lily was really starting to enjoy this story. It was very different to how an actual love story is told in her fairytales. But when she was told that this was a real story, she got curious to know who he actually was.
But no matter how curious she was, she was always ready to hear what would be told next in the story. No matter how much suspense is growing. She was even surprised that her Grandpa was still awake. She used to tease him about being old, and falling asleep.
But now that Sonic and Amy are finally together as a couple, what will happen next, and what more to the story could the elder hedgehog possibly tell Lily? This didn't make sense to her, but she's looking forward to finding out. But she also grew worried.
