Life Spring Breeze

Here is the final chapter of this story! And it contains more Shadow, for those who want him.

Chapter 3: Revival Party

Tails was excited. He was presented with the chance that Cosmo may return. However, he wanted everybody to know this, sooooo…

"Sonic, can you get everyone to meet me at the workshop?" Tails asked. "I want to tell them about my actions later in the day." "Alright, buddy, but you owe me a game at Final Rush!" "Heh, I'm looking forward to owning you again!" "Grrrrr…"

4 hours later, 3:50 P.M.

"Alright, everybody. I've called you down here for two reasons. One…" Shadow warped in. Everyone gasped at his appearance. "Apparently, Shadow did not die. He said he had something important to tend to after using Chaos Control on that spot in space, something he does not want to talk about."

"Oh, come on! He can tell us!" said Amy. "Amy, shush!" Cream ordered.

"The second reason is…" Tails paused for a bit. "Cosmo may be returning to us." Everyone gasped again.

"Alright! I knew he would try to bring her back!" Vector said to Charmy and Espio. "Looks like ol' Vector ain't such a bad matchmaker after all!" Charmy and Espio sighed.

"I'm planning to go back to the Life Spring at 5:00. That way, we'll have enough time to prepare. I want this house to be as neat as possible when Cosmo comes back."

"But, Tails…" "AMY!" "What if she doesn't come back?" Cream groaned and put her hands to her eyes. You know, how people do that when they're surprised at someone for being so idiotic?

Tails…really didn't think about that, and put his head down in sadness. "Amy! Now look what you did!" Cream yelled. "Well, it's a possibility, Cream!" "No, she's right, Cream. Cosmo may not come back. But it wouldn't hurt to try." Tails looked at the clock. It said 4:00 P.M. Alright, we have 1 hour to do this! Let's move!"

Everyone got to work. When it was 5:00, Tails announced his departure and left. The house looked more spotless than it did before. "Hey, faker…" Shadow said to Sonic. "Want to play a bit of SA2:B while we wait?" Alright, but we need to play in the workshop so that we don't ruin the house. Besides, I could use you to break my losing streak there!" "Hmph! Don't count on it!" They all went to the workshop to watch them compete.

At the Life Spring…

"Ah, welcome back, young fox." Hana greeted. "Your flower is ready." Tails waited, expecting for something to happen. Sure enough, something did happen. The rosebud started to glow as the stem and leaves glowed green, then broke away. The rosebud fell to where the stem stood. Then, it grew to about a bit taller than Tails. The rose bud then started to peel off, and inside was a glowing egg (more height than width). The peeled rosebud then shrunk to about the width of the egg. It then rose up to the of the egg, revealing a figure, then it went down again and vanished as soon as it hit the ground, which removed the glow of the figure, revealing…

"COSMO!" Tails cried.

Cosmo fell to her knees, but quickly stood up. She opened her eyes, and was amazed at what she saw.

"Tails?" She then rushed to Tails and hugged him tightly.

"Welcome back to Mobius, Cosmo…my world." Tails returned the hug. They held it for about 5 minutes, then let go. "Hey…you look exactly like you did when we last saw you, but you're still about my size!" Tails was right. Cosmo wondered why she was the same size as Tails. "Oh…so I am." She had changed just before fusing with the Metarex planet/seed/whatever. Instead of leaf-green hair that went to her shoulders, she had lime-green hair that went to about her waistline. Its ends had also curved in opposite directions, so that the points of the hair were visible from a point view. Also, her red roses had turned into pink roses that had bloomed. She had also grown taller, but this was negated somehow. "Don't worry, I like it." Tails assured. Cosmo blushed a bit. "Thanks." "So…shall we be getting back to the workshop now?" Cosmo nodded, and they walked back, but not before something happened.

"Tails, how did you get here anyway?" Cosmo stared at the trees that blocked the way. "Those trees were too thick to be cut down or go through, so I flew over." Tails then repeated an action from Episode 65 – he held Cosmo by her waist and lifted her over the trees. When they landed, Cosmo giggled. "I was hoping you'd do that again." "Heh, what can you expect? Listen, I got to take care of something. How about you go ahead and wait for me? Just keep going straight and you should find the ladder." Cosmo nodded and walked ahead. Tails pulled out his cell phone and called Sonic.

"Sonic, Cosmo's back. Tell everyone to go back to the house and have them hide in the living room. We'll be back in a few." "Do I have to?" Sonic complained. "I was just kicking Shadow's butt in Green Forest again!" "He lies, fox-boy!" Shadow called. "Shut up!" "Look, can you just do it?" Sonic sighed. "Okay…" He hung up. Tails caught up with Cosmo, who was at the ladder. "What was it about, Tails?" Cosmo asked. "Nothing." Tails replied. "Listen, Tails…I want to thank you for bringing me back to life." She then pulled Tails into another hug. Tails returned it. He also took this opportunity to sneak a kiss onto Cosmo's cheek. She blushed a bit more than last time, but decided to say nothing of it. So when they got back to the workshop…

"WELCOME BACK, COSMO!" Everyone yelled. Cosmo was certainly surprised. My gosh…you planned this for me, Tails?" Cosmo asked as they walked inside. Yes…yes I did." Tails replied as this time, he hugged Cosmo. Everyone clapped for them.

So, the party's just begun. Let's see what went on.

For Cosmo, well, she was surprised at the new size of Tails' house, so he showed her around. When that was over with, Tails went back to the living room to take care of something else.

"Alright, Tails. I made the agreement that we would do this, so let's do this!" "Ready to be schooled?" "That's it! I choose Metal Sonic! He's the only one faster than me in this game, so I should win this easily!" Well, if you account for the fact that Final Rush is a bottomless pit stage, and that Metal Sonic slips a lot when moving, I'd say that even with your shield, you will not win!" Tails chose Sonic. Cosmo was watching all of this, and understood about half of it as she saw it. In complete humiliation, Sonic was once again beaten by Tails. "I guess not even Metal Sonic can beat Sonic, even when Sonic's not playing as Sonic!" Everyone laughed. "That's it! I will keep playing you until I win!" "Fine with me! Are you ready to see Sonic get defeated over and over at his element, Cosmo? "You know it!" Cosmo replied. "Oh, that's just great! I got a plant betting against me…" Sonic thought. Later, Cosmo tried herself, and surprisingly, she won every match! "Dang, Sonic. Cosmo doesn't even know the half of this game, and you STILL lost against her?" Tails asked a very depressed Sonic. "Oh, shut up and get me a Sprite…" Sonic replied.

Actually, not much else was done, because Sonic's humiliation attracted everyone to watch (much to Sonic's chagrin). When everyone left, Tails found Cosmo at the top floor of the house. (Warning: Most of these next lines were from Episode 65, or modified a bit.)

"Cosmo?" Tails asked. "Oh! Hi, Tails!" Cosmo replied. "The party was great, huh? I still can't believe you beat Sonic all those times!" "Yeah, I had a good time too. It felt nice to be with all of you again. But for some reason, I felt the best whenever when I was with you." "I also felt that way about you too." "Tails…" She held Tails' hands. "I…I…I think I…" "Don't worry, Cosmo. I love you too." "That's it. I love you, Tails." They then embraced once more, but this time for a kiss. After 3 minutes, they broke off. "Come on, Cosmo. Let me show you where you'll be sleeping.

The end. What do you know? I CAN write this stuff. My next story will be a collection of short stories explaining the gap between this and my next story, which will be an adaptation of Sonic Adventure. Later, everypeoples!
