"Shadow! You did it!" Rouge ran up to Shadow and hugged him. Sonic gave him a thumbs up. Tails and Amy danced. Blaze was emotionless, as always.

"I knew you had it in you, Shadow!" Sonic was glad this whole ordeal was almost over.

"Now we can be together forever, Sonic!" Amy squeezed Sonic. "And we can get married, and have children!" Sonic's heart stopped for a moment.

"Touching, everybody, but don't forget we still need to push the worlds apart." Blaze reminded everybody. Shadow concentrated on the shards of the Preciousestone, and they slowly reunited into one.

"Great! Now, you two have to concentrate on the power of the emeralds. The emeralds will repel each other, and evrybody will be back in their own world, as will the emeralds. Then the preciousestone will take control once more." Tails explained. Shadow summoned the Chaos Emeralds to him, Blaze summoed the Sol Emeralds.

"Hold on to me." Shadow told everybody, excluding Blaze. "Then you'll warp with me to the correct world. Sonic and Tails each held onto his shoulders, Amy hugged him, and Rouge kneeled down and held onto one of his legs.

"Are you ready, Shadow?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, Blaze." he responded. They looked at each other.

"I wish I had more time to get to know you, Shadow." Blaze admitted. "And Sonic, everybody, I'll probably never see you again."

"Blaze..." Amy was sympathetic. Poor girl.

"Amy, Tell Cream that I say Hi. And give her this for me." Blaze threw a single golden ring to Amy, who caught it. "It was from out first adventure together. Our first, and our last."

"I will, Blaze." Amy assured her.

"Let's do it, Shadow." Blaze foucuse her energy on the Sol emeralds, as Shadow did the same with the Chaos Emeralds. A blinding light engulfed the area.

"Chaos Control!"

"Sol Control!"

On Angel Island...

"errrrrrrrrrr.UGH!" Knuckles made a direct hit to Chaos' abdoman. It fell to the ground and absorbed into the Master Emerlad shards, which was now repairing himself.

"You did it, Knuckles!" the girl's voice thanked her decendant.

"What just happened?" Knuckles asked the orange light ball floating around him.

"Chaos was awakened by something. I just am not sure what..." The ball faced Knuckles.

"If Chaos is returning to the emerald, then so must I. Goodbye for now, Knuckles." The ball entered the emerald.

"Did it work?" Amy rubbed her eyes to see her friends doing the same, minus Blaze, of course. They were in Gimme Shelter. Just as depressing looking as when they left.

"Blaze?" Sonic shouted. She was gone, meaning the plan had worked.

"We did it! Everything is back to normal!" Tails cheered. Shadow handed the diamond emerald to Rouge.

"Here. Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Shadow smirked. Rouge giggled and kissed him.

"You may be a demon, but you're sweet." Rouge hugged Shadow. Shadow took the remaining six emeralds and held them close.

"Leave!" He shouted. The remaining six emeralds all dissappeared, concealing themselves, so protect the world from a certain evil genius. Amy looked at the ring she held.

"I guess I go give this to Cream." She sighed. She turned to Sonic. "And I'll be back for you later." She winked.

"C'mon, Tails! Let's get out of here!" Sonic took off out of the musty garage that is Gimme Shelter with Tails behind him.

"Coming, Sonic!" Tails was gone.

"Hello, Miss Vanilla." Amy greeted Cream's mother as she opened the door and invited Amy in.

"Amy! How nice to see you! Cream is in the backyard playing with Emerl and Cheese." Vanilla pointed to the back door.

"Thanks!" Amy went to the back yard. Cream and Emerl were having a pretend tea party with Cheese. Cheese had moved his little bow tie to his head and was sitting in a tea cup. Emerl was wearing a sun bonnet.

"Mom!" Emerl exclaimed when he saw Amy. Cream turned to her.

"Amy! I'm so gald to see you!" Cream gave Amy a hug.

"Hi, Cream! How are you doing, Emerl dear?" Amy asked her 'baby'.

"I'm fine, mom. How's dad?" Emerl was slowly forgetting the rude remarks he was tought by Knuckles and Rouge.

"He's just fine." She answered. Amy handed the ring to Cream.

"It's so pretty!" Cream exclaimed as she took hold of the shining golden ring. "Thank you, Amy."

"It's from Blaze." Amy told the small rabbit.

"Oh! I miss Blaze. Is she doing well?" The rabbit was concerned. Amy smiled.

"She's doign fine Cream." Amy took hold of a teacup. "Room for one more?" Amy sat with Cream and Emerl and began enjoying pretend tea.

Rouge looked out of one of the front windows of her club. Shadow was staring down at the street. He had been like this for hours. Rouge walked out to join him.

"Are you okay?" She asked, trying to start the conversation.

"I'm fine." He said coldly.

"You miss that Blaze girl, dontcha?" She asked.

"No. I can live without her. She was just interesting...I can't explain it. I want to learn about her. And spend a lot of time...Who cares? Why am I telling you anything anyway?"

"Because I care."

"Oh, really?" Shadow rolled his eyes.

"Yes! I am capable of emotion too!" Rouge was angry.

"I'm sorry. I'm just confused."

"Yeah, yeah. What else is new?" Rouge re-entered her club and locked the door for the night.

"Shadow, you cutie..." Rouge whispered to nobody as she turned off the lights in the main room. She walked upstairs toher room and gazed down at the hedgehog who had captured her attention from the minute she was told to research him. "...Perhaps, one day..." She turned off her lamp and crawled into her lavish bed. "...No, it could never work."

THE END

Note: Yeah, that's it. Like I said, I wanted this to be a better story. I am working on a way to remake this, either as a small game or by flash. it probably won't ever get under way, but we can hope.
