Hey everyone! I'm back and this time I brought the final chapter with me! EPILOGUE! I think that's how it's spelt..

Well anyways.. enjoy!

It has been a month since all of the events and about three and a half weeks since Skye was let out of the hospital. Herald was sent to life in prison, Skye was still living with the Chaotix and Locke was looking for an apartment. All seemed to be back in place for the Chaotix, the only difference is having two new friends in their life.

Espio was in the living room, alone. Skye was with Locke helping him find an apartment, Vector was sleeping in his room and Charmy was doing whatever hyperactive six-year old bees do.

Espio sighed. He still hadn't told Skye how he felt, the two have became alot closer lately, but neither were ready to admit there feelings. Espio let out another sigh, he then walked over to the corner of the living room and sat down, starting to meditate.

"Finally." He thought to himself, "Peace."

However, to Espios' dissapointment, the peace didn't last very long. He heard a loud thud followed by Charmy screaming. Espio sighed, getting up and walking to Charmys room.

When he got in there he seen Charmy, on the ground, wrapped up in bubble rap.

"Espio! Get me out! I'm stuck!" Charmy exclaimed.

Espio sweatdropped. He walked over to Charmy, picking up a loose end of the bubble rap and pulled it back until Charmy was released.

"What were you doing anyways?" Espio asked.

"I like bubble rap, sew me." Charmy said with a shrug as he sat ontop of his bed.

Espio rolled his eyes at Charmys sarcastic remark. He then rolled the bubble rap up, throwing it in a nearby trash can as he made his way back to the living room.

"Add that to the list of things not to have around the house." He said to himself as he sat back down, this time on the couch.

"Whatever." Charmy said as he walked past him, sitting on the chair.

"It's your fault really, you should be doing something productive rather than distracting yourself." Espio replied as he closed his eyes.

"Same goes for you." Charmy mumbled under his breath.

"For your information, I do spend my time productivly." Espio said, his eyes still closed. Charmy rolled his eyes and then smirked.

"Looking at Skye doesn't count as productive." Charmy said with a smirk.

Espio opened one of his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about, we are just friends. Nothing more." He replied calmy, letting a slight blush creep his muzzle.

"You like her, and she likes you. You guys should just date." Charmy said as he rolled his eyes.

"She does not like me." Espio replied. Charmy stifled a small laugh.

"For a detective, you sure are dumb." He said. Before Espio could protest Charmy continued.

"She kissed you. Which is no we are just friends gesture." Charmy said.

Espio couldn't do anything but blush. He uncrossed his legs, looking away. Just then, Skye walked in.

"Hey. What are you guys talking about?" She asked as she sat down on the couch beside Espio.

"We were just talking about how Espio likes y-"

"Nothing!" Espio exclaimed, cutting Charmy off. Charmy huffed.

"Yeah..nothing." He mumbled.

Skye looked at them, a little frazzled. They seem to be out of character..but why?

"Is there something you guys aren't telling me?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

The duo shook their heads. Skye sighed, why couldn't she just have some friends that are girls? The boys are always keeping things from her.

Before Skye could say anything, Vector walked into the room with some papers in his hands.

"Come on, we have another case." He said as he walked to the door.

"You coming Skye?" He asked over his shoulder.

Skye shook her head.

"No, I am going back out with Locke to look for an apartment." It wasn't a total lie.

Vector nodded, Skye got up and waved goodbye to the trio before running off to go find Locke. After about fifteen minutes, she came to his 'house', she walked inside the cave and there she saw Locke.

"Hey." He said as she walked up to him.

"Hey, did you get the things?" Skye asked as she sat down beside him.

Locke nodded his head.

"So what do you even need these things for?" He asked as he handed her a bag.

She looked in the bag, she found food, water, a blanket and other things she would need for her trip. She took in a deep breathe.

"I'm leaving." She stated simply.

Locke shook his head, he then got up and stood infront of her, he looked down at her.

"You can't just run away from your problems." He stated. Before Skye could reply he continued.

"Life can be hard sometimes, but that doesn't mean you have to run away! I mea-" Skye cut him off by kicking him in the shin.

"OOW!" He yelled in pain as he grabbed his shin.

"What'd you do that for?" He asked, still holding his shin.

"I'm not running away." Skye said. Locke stopped, sitting back down beside her.

"Then, where are you going?" He asked.

"To look for my family, well some. I never knew much about my family, i'm just hoping that there is someone, maybe like a cousin or aunt, anyone." She said.

Locke looked at her in sympathy. He knew how she felt, he had no family that he knew of either.

"Espios' not going to enjoy saying good bye." He said.

He looked over at Skye, she was carving something into the cave wall. He didn't know what, but it didn't matter to him. She turned around.

"He doesn't have to." She replied simply as she got up.

She started to walke out when Locke got up and ran up to her, grabbing her shoulder and twirling her around.

"What is it?" She asked.

"What do you mean he doesn't have to?" He asked.

"I mean, if I leave without saying good bye, it will be easier on the both of us." She replied.

Locke shook his head.

"You have to, he will be crushed if you don't." He said.

"No he won't, he will understand." She said.

She looked down at the ground, she really didn't want to leave without saying goodbye but it was for the best. It wouldn't hurt as much knowing that she didn't leave him hurting.

"Besides, i'll be back someday, and you guys can call me." She said as she handed him a paper with her number on it.

She then started walking again, but to her dissapointment, Locke stood infront of her, preventing her from going any further.

"What now?" She asked, annoyed.

"You can't just leave." He stated.

Skye rolled her eyes, this was starting to get a little bit on her nerves.

"Watch me. Bye." She said as she moved by him.

"Just promise me you'll come back soon. For Espio." He yelled as she walked off.

She stopped, she slowly turned around. She then smiled.

"I promise."

With that, she looked forward and started running to who knows where. Locke smiled a little, he was happy for his friend. He never had much of a family, so he was hoping that she could find some of hers. He then sighed, he'd better go let the others know.

When he got to the agency, he knocked on the door. No answer. He then knocked again, still, no answer. He sighed, they must be on another case. He sat down on the steps.

After around thirty minutes of waiting, he saw them coming. He stood up, waving. The three saw him and waved back, when they got there, Charmy spoke.

"Whats up? Where's Skye? I thought she was with you?" He asked.

Locke shook his head.

"That's what I need to talk about." He said, looking down.

The three nodded, they had worried look on their faces. Locke looked back up, taking a deep breathe.

"She left." He said simply.

Everyone immidiately looked at Espio. He looked at Locke, dead in the eye.

"What do you mean she left?" He asked.

"She left. Saying she was going to look for family, if she had any, she left a number and said she was going to be back soon. Probably a couple of months." He said.

Espio didn't say anything. He didn't know what to think. She just left.. she didn't even say good bye. Unless she didn't have enough time to. He looked back up.

"Come on Charmy." Vector said, noting what was going on, he didn't want Charmy to say anything stupid. Once they were gone, Espio spoke.

"Why didn't she say good bye?" He asked, hoping that it was because she didn't have enough time, or something like that.

"She didn't want to." He replied.

Espio fell silent. It was like she just ripped his heart out of his chest, threw it on the ground and then continued by stomping on it. Locke felt bad, he knew he had to say something.

"She will be back soon." Locke said.

Before he knew it, Espio was up and gone. He ran down the streets, Locke didn't know where he was going, but he had a pretty good geuss.

Espio kept on running, he then ended up near a cave. He walked in, it was beautiful. The colours all over the walls and- he knew this place. It was wherever Locke was staying. He sighed, he walked over near the end and sat down.

There was so much racing through his mind, he felt heart-broken. He felt like he could never love again, he felt like he didn't even want to love her anymore, but he couldn't. No matter how much she didn't like him, he would always love her.

He got up, deciding it was time to leave. Just then, something caught the corner of his eye, it was something carve into the caves wall. It was carve on a clear spot, the quartz and bright colours around it made it a little easier the read.

"Skye and Espio." He read to himself, the three words were surrounded by a heart.

His eyes widened, he felt like she came back, and put his heart back together again. He instantly smiled, he couldn't help it.

He put his hand on the wall, he stood there, smiling. Just then, Locke walked in and saw him. He was a little frazzled at first, but decided to see what he was doing. Espio didn't notice Locke, he didn't care. He was in his own little world. Locke then smiled at Espios' next words.

"I'll love you forever."

The end.
