The bus was driving at regular speed this time as they headed back home. Luka was still consoling Miku, Meiko was on her laptop researching the fire monster from earlier with Rin and Len watching, and Katio was watching cat videos on his phone.

"It says here that after a failed experiment, Solaris was split into two forms. Mephiles the Dark and Iblis. While Mephiles still roams the earth, Iblis was sealed inside the Princess's body. If she were to ever cry, Iblis would be released and destroy the world" Meiko said reading.

"Well that's stupid. Why put your own daughter's emotions at risk because you lost your wife?" Rin asked.

"Kings and Dukes always sacrifices their princess for the sake of the world" Len said. "I hope she's okay"

"Why did she start crying anyway?" Rin said. "Why did Miku start crying?"

Meiko saw her Skype go off. Someone was trying to video chat with her. She answered it. Their good friend Teto Kasane was on the other end.

"Did you guys hear the news?" Teto asked. Everyone looked up.

"That some fire monster is gonna destroy the world?" Len asked.

"No, Sonic the Hedgehog is dead"

There was silence.

"WHAT?" They all yelled, even Gumi. They all turned to face Miku.

"So that's why she's so sad" Meiko said. They all sighed.

"Oh Miku, I'm so sorry" Teto said. "This must be hard on you. He was your cousin after all. Just hang in there okay?"

The gang then heard screaming followed by laughter.

"I gotta go. Defoko took Momo's body again. See you guys later" Teto said before signing off. Miku sniffles a little.

"Are you okay now?" Luka said. "What happened out there?"

"U-Uncle Snake texted me during the concert" Miku whimpered. "He said that Sonic had killed himself. They found him in his room, hanging… " Everyone gasped again.

"Oh Miku, that's terrible!" Rin said. Miku wiped her face.

"Why did he kill himself? Why?" Miku said. Gumi went over and gave her a hug.

"It's okay Miku. We're all here for you" She said. Miku patted her back.

"Thank you Gumi" Miku said. Miku suddenly looked up.

"Wait Gumi?! Then who's driving the bus?" Miku said. Everyone turned to see Tako Luka at the driver's seat. Everyone screamed as they swerved off the road and rolled off the road. The bus landed straight up, unscaved. Everyone got up from all the rolling.

"Is everyone okay?" Luka said. Everyone dusted themselves off.

"We're okay" Rin and Len said.

"I'm sorry everyone" Miku said. "If you weren't so worried about me, Tako Luka wouldn't have been driving" Luka picked up Tako Luka from the seat.

"It's okay Miku. It would've happened regardless" Luka said. "In other news, we're only 5 miles away from home. We can go home and rest after today. Our concert in Mobius isn't until next week. It can help Miku grieve with her loss. I think for now we should give her some privacy once were back home"

Everyone agreed. They would let Miku grieve her cousin's death. If she was ready to go back on stage afterwards, they would as well.

When they got home, Miku couldn't sleep at all. She couldn't stop crying. Sonic meant so much to her and now he's gone. It's making her so sad. She had a week to grieve before her next concert. But is the concert even worth it at this point? It was in Mobius, the home town of her cousin. She knows that some of Sonic's fans would be at the concert. Holding signs and blue glow sticks. It would break her heart seeing all those fans come to her concert after losing their hero. What to do, what to do. Her crying would later put her to sleep, the night never being so quiet before.
