Knuckles, Tails, and Amy stand at the edge of the forest, looking at
the charred remains of Robotropolis. A tear runs down Tails cheek, while
Amy stands there, crying on Tails' shoulder. Knuckles' eyes dart back and
forth, searching for any remains of anyone. He shows no sign of emotion,
just a stern look on his face.
"Oh Tails! He's gone." Says Amy, sobbing.
"It'll be all right Amy. It'll be all right." Replies Tails, hugging Amy, "Maybe he's still alive."
"I hope so Tails."
"I do to Amy."
Knuckles looks at them, and feels a little bit of sympathy for them, but not enough for him to feel too sad. He looks at Robotropolis, and starts walking out of the forest toward it. He pushes Amy and Tails out of the way, and walks into the desolate crater. Tails and Amy watch, as Knuckles scours the large perimeter of the former city.
Tails and Amy hold each other's hands, and walk into the area too. Knuckles searches around, and notices something that catches his eye. He goes up to it and is somewhat repulsed at what he sees, but at the same time he isn't. A severed gloved hand, clutching onto a Chaos Emerald. He picks up the hand, rips the emerald away from it. He holds the hand in his palm, looks at Amy and Tails, and decides to chuck the hand into a heap of garbage.
"Best they not find that." Says Knuckles.
Knuckles walks up to Amy and Tails, with the same stern, emotionless look on his face. He slowly shakes his head, and the other two know exactly what that means. Amy holds tightly onto Tails and cries. Tails looks up at Knuckles, tears slowly rolling down his face. Knuckles examines the emerald, and then starts walking out of Robotropolis. Tails and Amy slowly follow.
They enter the village and Knuckles tells them that he needs to get back to The Floating Island. They say their good byes and Knuckles runs into the forest, and finally, out of sight. Amy and Tails look at each other, and they walk over to the small cliff. The look up at the stars.
"I was so scared Tails. Even when Sonic came into the room, I was still afraid." Says Amy, "But when you showed up.I didn't feel as scared. I knew you would save me."
"Well, I've never been as afraid of anything, until I saw you trapped on that machine." Replied Tails.
"Tails?"
"Yeah Amy?"
".I.I love you."
"I love you too."
They look into each other's eyes, and their lips meet. They sit on the cliff for a few hours, staring up into the stars. Meanwhile, the village sleeps, unaware of the events that just took place at Robotropolis.
The next day, it is their job to relay to the news of Sonic's death to the village. This day there are no parties. There are not happy go lucky walks in the park. There is just mourning. They have a funeral for Sonic, even though there are no recovered remains of him left.
"Sonic was.the best friend I ever had. I loved him as if he were my own brother." Says Tails during the eulogy, "I don't know what I would have done without Sonic. I don't know how I would have found the perfect girl without Sonic either."
Tails has a small smile as he looks at Amy. Amy returns the smile. Amy delivers her eulogy next.
"Me and Sonic have had our problems. But, like Tails, I would never have found that special someone without him." Says Amy, trying to hold back her tears, "I will never forget you Sonic."
Amy can't help it anymore. She starts crying and runs to Tails. A few other villagers give their short speeches. Months go by, and everyone eventually get over the loss of one of the greatest heroes they have ever had. Years go by. Tails and Amy get older. Their relationship gets a lot more serious, and even though they have their ups and downs, they continue to love each other.
Eventually the big wedding day comes. They decide to hold it at night. The stars are out, only masked by a few clouds. After the wedding, they decide to sit on the cliff that they spent many a night at during their youth. They look up into the clouds, and they can both swear that they see the visage of Sonic, watching over them. They kiss, and stare at the clouds and the stars.
"Tails?"
"Yeah, Amy?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
