Little Pink Rose – Once again, I thank you for reviewing me. Also thanks to you, I'm continuing with the story. But as for the Sonic and Amy thing, I'm saying absolute nothing about that. A surprise is around the corner.

This IS NOT the end as I originally foresaw and said last chapter. So I apologise.

And now, Triple Salchow, with pike. Sorry, I mean Tails and Cream. Tails narrating.

Eternal Struggle

Chapter Four: Keeping It All Together

"And so they died protecting Station Square." I finished thinking, remembering the day Eggman attacked Station Square with the monster.

"A lot has happened since then." I thought to myself. "Me and the others couldn't go near Amy or Tiara because we were too chicken to help them. Rouge has moved back to the city. Plus the minor details which don't need to be raised."

I looked at the calendar then the time. 14th April, 15:38 PM. It was nearing the anniversary of the day Sonic and Shadow saved us. I can never forget the day of the fight and the day after it.

The police came over to our group, or what was left of it. We were completely devastated by the news. Not only had Sonic and Shadow gave their lives, there was also no trace of their bodies anywhere. So the funeral wasn't proper because there were no corpses to deliver to the Earth.

Now, me and Cream are on the brink of breaking up. We couldn't hold it together anymore. Everything was going downhill since then. I didn't know how to stop it from happening.

Cream was at work when I got a phone call from Knuckles. He told me that he had got an engagement ring for Tikal so they could stay together. Thanks to him, I knew what had to be done.

After looking at many shiny and nice rings for two hours straight, I chose the prefect ring for Cream. It had diamonds encrusted as they went down each side, and in between, there were golden gems which were a lot like her Chaos Emerald.

After buying this, I decided that it can't just be a proposal, it had to be more. So I decided to get all the necessaries. Candles, food, everything. It took the best part of another three hours, but it was done. I had everything set up as Cream usually wasn't home until seven.

When she did return, she nearly fainted. She had never seen anything like this before. The curtains closed, candle-lit rooms, dinner cooking. She told me later that she never thought I was capable of such a thing. I proved her wrong.

After eating, Cream broke down into tears. I went over to see what was wrong. Nothing was wrong, as it turned out, as she was happy that I did something so romantic. She didn't know what I had planned next.

I took her hand into my own. "Cream, we've been together now for three years." I started. "We've been through a lot, and I think it's time. I love you, you're the most important person to me." I pulled out the ring, which was in a velvet box. She jumped when she saw it. I looked into her eyes, before asking her to marry me.

Tears were coming from her eyes. She managed to answer me though.

"Yes! Of course Tails!" She squeaked. I took the ring from the box and placed it on her hand. She leant down from the chair to kiss me. After we separated, she hugged me, saying four words that I hadn't heard in two weeks. "I love you too."

End.

Now I quote from one of my favourite comics – "DO YOU WANT A HUG?" as I can guess some people are crying inside after reading this.

Chapter 5 Spoiler – What happens when someone you thought was dead returns?

At this point, I'm not saying it's Sonic, Shadow or Eggman. You can find out when it's up.
