The Epilogue to Maxus and Sonic's Story

Note to readers: I would like to say that I'm sorry for not putting this up in the last few weeks, but I've just been inspired by the one who made all of this possible. She is known as Maxus-the-Fox in and Saturday June 18, 2005. I know that by the time that this message gets through, it would be too late. In any case, I would like to thank the group called Generation-A for their continued support of this and other stories to come. Thanks for the inspiration for my stories guys. Now, I would like to shout this out for Maxus: "Happy Birthday Maxie!" If you would all like to give your own birthday, go to the link of my website and go to the "Your Fanart Page". You could get to her gallery a lot quicker if you do. Well anyway, I hope that all of you would enjoy this part of the fic as I have writing it. Well, enjoy!

It has been a few weeks since Sonic's accident and now the blue-haired teen was able to get out of the hospital. Of course, he still has to go through a lot of physical therapy before he could fully be able to walk or run again. Maxus and Miguel were both amazed at the progress that he's making since he started. Even Mrs. Gomez was surprised for when she saw how determined Sonic was to get back on his own feet again.

"I'm amazed that he was able to survive a car crash so hard and fast, let alone get himself up and running at all between her two feet," Maxus's mother said to both her daughter and Miguel as the three of them watched Sonic continuing to do one of his exercises.

"Well, you should know that Sonic was one of the best runners that Monroe has ever had," Miguel responded to Mrs. Gomez as he too watched his best friend do one of his exercises. "He's been like this since he was a little kid. He's so determined to get back on his feet because he hates to sit down on his butt and stay in one place."

A few weeks later, the blue-haired teen was able to get both his feet up and working again for when he continued to do his exercises. Later, as soon as both he and Miguel filled in the proper forms and were out of the physical therapy center, the two best friends started to speak to one another as they went towards Maxus's home. Miguel was the first to speak.

"Sonic, are you sure that you're feeling alright to walk again?" the college student said to his blue-haired friend while using a rather concerned and serious tone in his voice. "I mean, that hit that you took for Maxus was pretty hard and I'm sure that no human being alive would be able to withstand it."

"Oh, stop being such a worry wart, Miguel!" Sonic said to his childhood friend while jumping up in the air in order to calm his friend's worries. "I'm good as new thanks to all of that therapy and exercise that I've been going to. Not that I'm complaining. I hate it for when I have to do nothing but stand still or sitting."

"Oh, it's not like you didn't enjoy having Maxus serve you around and feeding you spoonfuls of food into your mouth like a baby either, Sonic," Miguel responded to his friend with a grin as he saw the blue-haired teen stopping and blushed for when he mentioned those words. "Not to mention the fact that you loved it for when you and her start making out on the couch of her house while her mom is away as you went to visit her with crutches. I wish that I would've brought a camera to show it to her! She would have found it real cute!"

"Hey! Watch it, buddy!" Sonic warned as he faced his brown-haired friend with a mock threatening expression on his face. "Keep that up and you're soon going to find yourself in a world of hurt for when...!"

"Okay! Okay, Sonic! I get the idea! I was only joking around!" Miguel exclaimed as he did his best to calm his blue-haired best friend. "Sheesh! What's the matter with you all of a sudden? It's as if you were nervous about something that's about to happen today!"

"(Sighs) Sorry about that, Miguel," Sonic replied to his friend just as he took in another deep breath and spoke again. "It's just so happens that you're right about today. Didn't you ever wonder why I've asked you to get that package from the mall that I've bought the other day just before leaving the hospital while dropping off the crutches?"

"How could I forget it?" the college student asked his childhood friend with a bewildered look on his face just before he realized what today was. "Wait a minute! Do you mean that today is...? Oh my God! I'm so sorry that I couldn't remember that, Sonic! I was just too busy with my current assignments in my college classes that I completely forgot about that!"

"Whoa! Chill, bud! It's alright!" Sonic said to his best friend as he did his best to calm him down and allowed him to breath in and out until he's completely calmed. "I can understand that you're having a hard time adjusting to your classes at the college so it's bound to happen for when you forget something once in a while. Now, are you all better?"

"I am now," the brown-haired teen said as he sighed with relief and started to think with a clear head. "Boy, it's been that long since that day both you and Max first met and started to know one another. I can still remember for when I'm managed to get the two of you alone with one another for when she first appeared in our class. I remember it as if it were yesterday."

Flash Back

Miguel was at least about to become 15 years of age for when both he and Sonic were in their gym class and were first introduced to a young and beautiful girl with long silky brown hair that reached down her chess. His blue-haired friend at the age of 13 and was still able to get to high school despite his age. That was because among all of the kids of his class, Sonic was able to get the fastest time there is. The older teen was a bit jealous at the fact that his own best friend was able to be him by ten minutes. But he wasn't the one who would become jealous and then let that become an obsession. He wasn't that kind of person.

Anyway, as they both sat on the bleachers, both he and Sonic were talking to one another just before they heard the voice of their female gym teacher saying loudly to them in order to get their attention as well as the rest of the students, "Now, that I have your full attention, allow me to introduce to you to a new student to this school! I would like for you all to meet Maxus Gomez who's just come from Malibu! Now don't be shy and introduce yourself dear!"

As soon as he heard those words come out of the gym teacher's mouth, Miguel heard the voice of the petite beautiful girl for the first time, "Hello. Um, I would like to say that I don't like to be touched. I'm also very clumsy for when it comes to playing tennis. That's about it."

After they both heard the girl finish, the brown-haired teen soon began to notice that Maxus was starting to come up towards their direction with a rather interested look on her face. As soon as she got to where they are sitting at, Miguel started to notice the rosy color on her cheeks for when she turned her full attention towards Sonic. That was when he started to hear her speak to him with a rather shy tone in her voice.

"Um, hello there," Maxus said to the blue-haired boy as she started to wave her hand towards his direction as a greeting. "You already heard my name for when the teacher introduced me to the rest of the class. I would like to know the two boys that I'm speaking to."

For when he heard those words come out of the girls mouth, Miguel soon noticed that Sonic was beginning to blush for when he was near the cute brown-haired girl in front of his presence. "The guy is actually blushing! I can't believe what I'm seeing!" the brown-haired teenager thought to himself as he continued to see his best friend's face turning red with the girl's presence. "Well, I guess that Sonic is starting to have the hots for this new girl. This is the first time that I've seen him look like this. I guess that it's up to me to give him the means to ask this girl out on his first date. Heh! Heh! Heh!"

"Well, Maxus, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Miguel. Miguel Angel Arias. The guy right next to me who's blushing in front of your presence is named Sonic. He's actually living with me and my parents since he doesn't have a family of his own and is not legally adopted. So I guess that makes him my step-brother for the time being in a way."

"Miguel! I'm not blushing right now because of this beautiful girl's face!" Sonic responded to his so-called older brother's words with a rather shocked tone in his voice just before he realized what he just said. "I mean...not that I didn't think that you aren't beautiful, Maxus...! I mean, I would like to take you out on a date some time...! Um! Um! I didn't mean it like that! I just thought that...!"

Miguel soon started to chuckle quietly to himself as he looked and saw his best friend and brother being embarrassed at what he just said. He also saw the girl named Maxus giving off a cute giggle for when she heard those words as well. That was when he decided to give the fires of love a little more fuel for when he began to say his next words. At that moment, the brown-haired teen instantly knew that both Sonic and Maxus would make the cutest couple in the school. That was when he decided to become a matchmaker in order to get those two even closer together. It was the least that he could do for his friend after all of the times that the blue-haired boy did to save his butt many times during their days in kindergarden for when the kids picked on him for being skinny.

"Hey, if you're not busy later, Max, both me and Sonic would love to give you a tour of the campus," the older teen say to the younger pretty girl as he noticed Sonic beginning to panic with a bit of shock for when he said those words. "The two of us wouldn't mind to show you around since he's the best runner on the track team."

"Miguel! Now's not the time to start telling the new girl about that!" the blue-haired teen said to his older friend as he blushed with an even brighter shade of red just before he turned his full attention back towards Maxus. "It's not that big a deal! I only made the track team because I was born like that! That and I've been running like this since I was a kid. I was only seven for when I first started it."

"Heh! Who's the one bragging now, Sonic?" the brown-haired teen responded to his blue-haired friend with a mischevous smile on his face. "Now why don't the two of you start at the main hall while I take care of a few things. I just remembered that I've got something to do at one of my classes and the teacher there is willing to help me with it. I'll catch up with you guys later!"

Just before he could hear his friend's words of protest, Miguel was soon out of the room leaving both a blushing Sonic and Maxus sitting together on the bench while he supposely went to take care of his school work.

End of Flash Back

"Man! I can't believe that I was so embarrassed back then for when I saw Maxie," Sonic said to his best friend as he covers his face with embarrassment just before he spoke again. "I mean, I can handle bullies, teachers, gangsters, or even wild tigers for that matter! But when it comes to one beautiful girl, I turn into jell-o. Go figure!"

"Come on, Sonic! That was then, this is now!" Miguel said to his best friend as both he and Sonic were beginning to approach the front of Maxus's home. "The two of you got together, didn't you? Now is the time for you to start worrying about your anniversary day! Now I have to get home and study for my class work, man. As much as you're my best friend, I have to do the assignment as soon as possible and I don't want to be in your way for when both you and Max start to kissing and snuggling with one another on you date."

"Hey! Looks who's talking!" the blue-haired boy said to his friend with a rather mock annoyed tone in his voice. "Let's not forget that you were the one that left me alone while I was all shy and blushing towards a beautiful girl that's starting to become a beautiful young woman! A beautiful woman that I love so deeply and would do anything to make her happy!"

"Well, it managed to get you both together didn't it?" Miguel said just before he pointed his index finger right behind his direction where the front door of Maxus home is. "Besides which, the girl of your dreams just heard what you said. Well, later!"

As soon as Sonic heard those words come out of his best friend's mouth while he saw him leaving, the blue-haired teen began to turn his full direction towards the front door of his girlfriend's home and saw Maxus's face seeing him with a rosy color on her face. What he also noticed was that she was wearing the most beautiful pink and purple dress that he had ever seen that looked as though she were getting ready to go at a restaurant. She was wearing her long brown hair in a long tight braid. She was also wearing a pair of nice red and pink shoes that make it look like that she could walk easily.

As soon as she walked up towards his direction, Sonic soon started to notice a cute giggle coming from her as he continued to stare at her beauty. That was when he heard her asking, "Well, what do you think, babe? Do you think that I really look beautiful? Not that I need to hear it twice from you. Hee! Hee! Hee!"

For when he heard those words, the blue-haired teen began to blush with embarrassment. "Man! I can't believe that I just said that in front of Maxie!" Sonic thought to himself as he turned his full attention away from Maxus. "Thanks a lot, Miguel! I didn't mean for all that to come out like that! How am I suppose to...?"

Just before he could have the chance to finish the rest of his thoughts, Sonic suddenly felt the warm lips of his girlfriend giving him a small kiss on the cheek. As he turned his full attention back towards Maxus's direction, the blue-haired teen was starting to become confused for when he received the kiss from his girlfriend. Just as he was about to ask her a question, he heard the brown-haired girl answered his question by speaking with a gentle and sweet tone of voice.

"Hee! Hee! Hee! Don't be so shy about what you just said. I think that it's really sweet. That's what I like about you. Otherwise, I would never be hear with you and you would still be in the hospital."

For when he heard those words come from Maxus's sweet lips, Sonic began to become a bit more relaxed from what he was feeling before. That was when he did something that even he never expected of doing. What he did was that he wrapped both of his arms around his girlfriends petite but warm body and gave her a gentle hug that made Maxus snuggle up to him even more. Just before he could have the chance to say something to his girlfriend, Sonic felt both himself and Maxus jump up for when he heard the squeals of dilight coming from within her home.

"Aw! Aren't the two of you just the most adorable couple that I've ever seen!" Mrs. Gomez said as she emerged from the front door of her home with a camera in her hand. "Now both of you hold still while a take a small picture of this moment. I can't believe that my little girl is finally able to grow up!"

"Mom! That's totally embarrassing!" Sonic heard the voice of his brown-haired girlfriend just as he saw her face blushing with a beautiful shade of red on her face. "It's enough that you have to choose out the clothes that I have to wear and tell me all about the birds and the bees. Now you want a picture?"

"Aw! Come on, Maxie! Let your mom have this one," the blue-haired teen said to his lover as he gently stroked his cheek against her own while speaking in a soft and gentle tone. "Besides, after all those times that she sent me all those flowers and helped me with all of my physical therapy, it's the least that we could do."

"But, Sonic...!" was all that he heard Maxus whine to him before he saw her turning her full attention towards his face and he looked deeply into her chocolate-colored eyes with a sad and begging puppy dog face before she let out a sigh of defeat. "(Sighs) Oh alright, babe. I'll let my mom to take our picture."

"Thank you, my little baby girl!" He heard the voice of Maxus's mother saying with both joy and delight as he saw her aiming the camera's lens towards the young couple. "Now, I want both you and your boyfriend to stay still in that pose while I take the picture and pretend that I'm not here! Now say cheese!"

Just as he heard his girlfriend sighing with both annoyance and embarrassment, Sonic did as he was told for when he saw a flash coming from the camera. As soon as the moment was finished, the blue haired teen heard the voice of his girlfriend starting to say to her mother with a rather annoyed tone of voice, "Okay, mom! I think that we've already finished for posing for one of your pictures. Do you think that both me and Sonic could go and celebrate our anniversary now?"

"Oops! I'm sorry, baby!" said Mrs. Gomez for as Sonic saw the woman starting to re-enter her own home. "It's just so rare to get you into one of those beautiful dresses that I've bought for you! It also make me so happy to see you in the arms of the one you love! It's just so cute!"

"Ooookay! Now this is just weird," the blue-haired teen thought to himself as he looked at Mrs. Gomez with a confused look on his face. "In the first place, she didn't like it for when both me and Maxie were dating. Now, since I've gotten out of the hospital, she's treating us as if we were already married. Not that I want to marry a beautiful girl like Maxie. It's just that the new way that her mom is showing around us is so...creepy."

With that thought done, Sonic soon realized that he was being dragged by Maxus by the arm while same time seeing Mrs. Gomez waving goodbye to the two of them with a friendly and happy smile on her face. As soon as they were far enough from her home, the blue-haired teen then turned his full attention back towards his girlfriend as he said to her, "Uh, Maxie? I think that we're far from you home now. Now, do you think that you could let go of my arm now?"

As soon as his words reached the brown-haired girl's ears, the blue-haired teen suddenly felt Maxus's grip loosening for as she let go of his arm. That was when he saw her turning towards his direction and looked at him with a sort of weirded out expression on her face.

"Have you saw the way that my mom acted towards us dating? It's enough to consider her legally insane! To be honest, I think that it was just plain creepy. Do you get the feeling that we were thrown into another alternate universe and everything here has been thrown in reverse. I think my mom nearly proves that."

"Now, Maxie! You don't mean that," Sonic said to his brown-haired girlfriend with a calm tone of voice with a sweatdrop appearing behind his head as he did his best to calm her down. "I'm sure that with me just coming out of the hospital and finally able to walk again just took your mother by surprise. She'll be back to her usual self once this day is over. But for now, let's try to have a good evening without your mother coming in between us, okay?"

"I guess that you're right, babe," Maxus responded to the blue-haired teen with a now calm tone of voice as he saw her walking towards his direction and snuggled up to him with her arms wrapped around his neck while at the same time looking straight into his green eyes. "I mean, you've just barely got full control of your legs again and she was worried that something bad is going to happen to us again. Are you sure that you would be able go through this evening? You've just barely got out of physical therapy."

"Don't worry about me, Maxie. I'm perfectly okay," Sonic responded to his girlfriend's words with a smile on his face as he wrapped his own arms around her waist and gave her a hug as he gave her a kiss on her forehead while smelling the sweet scent of her perfume on her hair. "Thanks to you, Miguel, and your mom, I was able to quickly recover the full use of my legs. If it's not for all of you, I wouldn't be able to walk with you like I am now. Most of all, if it weren't for you, then I would still be in that coma in that hospital right now."

"Sonic, that's so sweet!" Maxus said to her boyfriend with a happy tone in her voice as she lean in closer towards his body. "That's all that I've ever wanted to hear! You make me the most luckest and happiest girl in the world! I could just kiss you!"

"Well, what's stopping you from doing so then?" asked the blue-haired teen with a caring and happy smile on his face.

As if to respond to his question, Sonic saw his girlfriend leaning her face towards his as she placed her soft lips on his own. That was when the blue-haired teen began to kiss Maxus back with a kiss that equals that of his girlfriend's. The heat and passion that they've both put into their kiss was so intense, that it was almost as if the world around them didn't exist at all. As soon as they parted from each other's lips, Sonic felt himself drained of all of his oxygen for when he tried to breathe in more air. That was when he heard Maxus giving him her response as she finally regained her breath first.

"That...was incredible!" he heard his girlfriend saying to him as she tried her best to regain the oxygen within her lungs. "You've never...kissed like that...before, babe! I wish that it would've lasted longer."

"Well, I wished the same thing too, Maxie, but if we don't get a move on, then we'll both be late for our date that's coming up," Sonic said to the one he loves so much along with a chuckle to his voice.

"Yeah, I guess you're right, babe," Maxus said to him just before he recieved another another kiss from the brown-haired girl in his arms before speaking to him again with a smile on her face. "Happy Anniversary, Sonic."

"Happy Anniversary to you too, Maxus Gomez," Sonic said to his beautiful girlfriend with a smile on his face as he too gave her a kiss on the lips before breaking the kiss and spoke again. "Now come on, what are we waiting for? The movie isn't going to wait for us! Let's go!"

He heard a giggle coming from Maxus as the both of them started to go towards the movie theater. What he felt at that moment was the feeling that both he and the one that he loved so much would spend the rest of their lives together. He didn't know how he knew it, but he knew that both he and Maxus would have their whole lives in front of them.

Dedicated to the young lady, Maxus-the-Fox, for her 17th birthday. Here's a quote too:

"As all of us grow older we tend to mature,"

"but the soul within each of our hearts would remain the same."
