Okay now I know most of you are dying for the rest of the last chapter...
You're dying to know what Amy does next...
But I got this idea and I just had to include it, so I hope you like it...
Chapter 36- Future?
Sonic's POV
They say when you die; your whole life passes you by.
They are right...
Your entire life does flash before your very eyes and you can do nothing but witness it, experience it again.
Both the good and the bad memories fill your mind. But only the really important memoirs make an appearance...
I stood looking at my aeroplane, a twin-tailed fox painting it a cobalt blue.
"What do you think you're doing?" I enquire, he jumps in shock.
He jumps down and sheepishly rubs the back of his head, "Sorry, but when I see a machine I can't help myself. I hope you don't mind I changed the engine to make it faster..."
"Hmm," I look at him quizzically before adding, "I like what you did with the colour too."
He lets out a chuckle before requesting I come and see what else he's done.
As I walk over to inspect the work, I can't help but ponder...
"So, you've been following me around all morning to check out my aeroplane? Or is there something else you want?"
He turns to face me with big crystal blue eyes, "Well, you see, I like to build and repair stuff... So they all make fun of me..."
His eyes lighten up at his next sentence," You looked cool so I followed you and when I found your plane, I figured I'd fix it up and we could be friends, if you want to?"
To this I replied, "Well, what's your name pal?"
The memory of meeting my best friend... I wonder how he'll cope now I'm gone. I wonder how I'll cope now I'm gone...
Shadow turned to look at me, "What are you anyway?"
To this I replied, "What you see is what you get, just a hedgehog that loves adventure. I'm Sonic the Hedgehog."
I guess it's up to Shadow to save the world now, he'll do me proud!
Even though he was my enemy, then my rival eventually he became my friend and I'll miss him...
He'll miss me too, even if he won't admit it! I mean, hello...
I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, just a guy that loves adventure! Who wouldn't miss me?
Hell, even dead and I'm still the cocky hedgehog that everybody loved...
But seriously, I'm truly dead!
Do you know how hard that is for me to accept? I've fought against Eggman for most of my life and I never thought he'd end it...
I underestimated him and that I regret.
Knuckles turned to me, our breaths uneven due to our resent fight, "What is this? Eggman swore that all he wanted was to live in peace!
"He's sure tricky, isn't he?"
"That swindler! He lied!" Knuckles said, his temper rising once again.
"You're catching on, pal!" I chuckled at his stupidity...
Poor old gullible Knuckles, oh how I'll miss winding him up and watching how flustered he can get. Yet nonetheless, he's a great friend and I know that he'll always look out for the others!
Suddenly my flashbacks stop, am I really dead now? For definite?
A sickening feeling appears and I know that it's not over yet...
I'm running through the forest but I don't seem to recognise the route I'm taking, my legs however do!
Trees and flowers merge together in a single blur of colour as I speed past them. My feet don't stop, it's almost like I have no control over them...
Or my mind!
But suddenly I appear in a field. I've never been in this field before yet it feels like I know it, like I have in fact travelled here before now!
In front of me is a beautiful lake, its water are so clear and blue and inviting that even my phobia vanishes. Despite this beautiful scene, my eyes are not focused on the waterfall or the swans that swim on the lake...
A striking flower attracts all my attention. The petals opening up into a full bloom, revealing it's self to me. Strong roots hold it firmly in the ground but the wind manages to sway it slightly, in a delicate motion.
The colours so bright and beyond beautiful... Just like her.
And I need to have it, not for me but for her! My rose needs this rose!
So I reach out about to take hold of the lavender rose, but as my fingers make contact with the sturdy stem I feel a warm liquid rush down my finger. I recoil it back in shock and realise that I've just been pierced by a thorn...
Every rose has its thorn and sometimes the price is right...
I watch the blood trickle down my finger and I wipe it on my chest, letting it soak into my fur...
I watch in horror as the blood spreads slightly and turns a deeper red, before finally disappearing into my fur!
I shake this weird experience off as I turn my attention back to the rose, but to my fuller shock as I take it in my hand and uproot it, the petals start changing colour until finally a deep red rose is in my hand...
A lavender rose first and now a red rose...?
I understand...
The flowers are speaking to me and I'm listening, "First love that is now your true love!"
The flowers represent my feelings for Amy...
Amy!
Damn! I've suddenly got his urge to be back at home, with her. Back at home with my wife!
My wife...? Wait did I just think that? I'm dead...
Suddenly, as if by magic, I appear on the doorstep to a cosy looking home. Something about it looks inviting and I can't help but open the door...
"Honey, I'm home..."
Honey, I'm home?
Did I seriously just say that? What is going on here?
"Hey, have a good run...? Is that for me?" She says taking the rose in her clutch.
I don't care what's happening; I just want to kiss her. I need to kiss her...
To know this is real, I need to know this is real!
I grab her body, hungry for her kisses!
She drops the rose as I pull her in and our lips move closer and closer until suddenly everything fades away, she fades away...
But I soon realise that she's not fading away...
I am!
And I also realise that I've just witnessed a part of my future...
A part of what my future could have been...
Yet it disappeared straight from under my nose...
Because I'm dead!
It's late I have nothing to say... It is 00:18 in the morning or night whatever you want to call it and I'm sweepy!
Please R&R, hope you enjoy!
One of my fave chapters in this story!
My saying today is- the people are right- 8 hours sleep is best!
And goodnight!
