A/N: Okay I'm sorry for the late update and the shortness of this chapter. Chapter 11 is finished but chapter 12 is fighting with me. I know exactly how I want it to go, but not sure on how to get there. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
Interlude 2
Bernadette and Jules watched on sadly from high above the earth. Their poor daughter was being mistreated so badly she didn't even know who she was anymore. As Bernadette watched the light pink hedgehog take the shoes, her anger grew so hot, thunder rumbled across the sky. Jules wrapped an arm around her, though he was just as full of rage as his wife.
"Don't worry my dear," he said soothingly. "The story is not over I'm sure. There's more that needs to be done, loose ends that need to be tied."
"I'm very proud of that fox," said Bernadette with a tiny smile. "His heart is in the right place, and that prince gave him to the right family. They know what's right and wrong. Isn't there anything we can do to help now though?"
"Not at this time," said Jules grimly as they watched the tomcat sit on Sonic after tripping her. "There is hope yet."
Their eyes found a lone hedgehog sitting in the branches of a tree, his legs dangling off a large branch about half way up the large oak. His fingers moved skillfully along the strings of a detailed harp of alder wood and the music which poured forth was soft and hopeful. The two angels smiled down upon him and the sunlight on his back shone just a little brighter. He seemed to look up a little, those ruby eyes scanning his surroundings for a bare second.
"We must wait," said Jules. "All the characters are in play, save for one or two other ones we will meet later. This is not their story, though. This is Sonic and Shadow's story.
Sonic stumbled into their view again, looking awful and heartbroken. She stared up at Shadow, and Jules smiled at Bernadette as they watched the two beings meet for the first time.
"Let's keep watching," he said. "We'll be able to help soon."
