10/3/21

Sonic was in the castle talking to Aleena, Sonia, Manic and Chuck.

You're in my arms

"So what did you need mom?" Sonic asked.

"To tell you that it's time to decide who's taking the crown." Aleena said.

Sonic, Sonia and Manic sat there in shock then Sonic remembered how old you can take the crown.

"Why?" Manic asked.

"Because we turned 18 last week." Sonic said and Aleena smiled and nodded.

"Exactly." she said.

"But I'm not ready!" Manic said.

"Me neither!" Sonia said.

Sonic said nothing.

Chuck noticed and smiled knowing what she was thinking.

"You're not ready either, right sis?" Manic said and they looked at Sonic.

"Sonic?" Sonia said.

"Robotnik was finished last week so I have nothing to do. I became a Freedom Fighter when uncle Chuck took me in after losing them. After leading three teams and raising Tails I'm the most mature of us three." Sonic said.

Aleena and Chuck smiled knowing what she was saying.

"You're saying you know who needs to take it." Aleena said and she nodded.

"Yes."

"Who is it?" Manic asked.

"Me. I took Tails in when he was only 4 so know how to look after people. I lead the Freedom Fighters with uncle Chuck when he took me in, lead Sonic Underground and now lead Team Sonic along with Sonic Heroes when we need Team Sonic, Team Dark, Team Rose and The Chaotix together so know how to lead people and protect people by myself when I have to."

They looked at her and thought about what she said and nodded.

"So I'm guessing you'll take the throne?" Aleena said.

Sonic looked at her and nodded.

"I protected everyone in Mobius and Station Square I can lead and protect them." she said strong.

Aleena smiled with tears going down.

"I'm proud of you." she said and Sonic smiled.

"I, better go tell the others I'm leaving." Sonic said and they nodded. "I'll be back." she said and took out a Chaos Emerald. "Chaos Control!" she said and was gone.

And all the world is calm

A few seconds later she was at Tails' Workshop with the others.

"Hey guys." she said and they turned and smiled.

"Hey." they said.

"Where've you been!" Tails asked.

Knuckles already knew where she was.

"You went to visit them." Knuckles said.

Sonic nodded.

"Visit who?" Amy asked.

"My family."

They stood there in shock while Knuckles walked over to her.

"They need to know." he said.

She looked at him and nodded then the others.

"I'm the oldest daughter of Queen Aleena." she said and they stood there in shock.

"WHAT?!" they yelled.

"It's true. I met Sonic, Sonia and Manic years ago." Knuckles said with a hand on her shoulder. "Sonic Underground."

"Eggman once went by Robotnik and we thought we defeated him but somehow he survived so I left and went to tell Knux about him and he swore to stay with me." Sonic said and took out her medallion.

"So what were you doing?" Tails asked.

"We're 18 and old enough to take the throne. Mom called me and asked me to come then told us what she wanted. She and uncle Chuck knew I'm the best they have. After being a Freedom Fighter, leader of Sonic Underground, Team Sonic and Sonic Heroes I know I'm the best they have. So I'm taking it and going home."

They looked at her and understood so everyone but Shadow nodded.

The music playing on for only two

'She's leaving?' Shadow thought staring at her.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I better go pack." she said and got up and packed.

They all stood there quietly thinking.

So close together

Then Knuckles headed to her room.

When he got there he saw her sitting there looking at her medallion.

"You OK?" he asked.

"Yeah. Just a little surprised mom picked me but at the same time I'm not." Sonic said.

"Why exactly did she pick you?"

"Sonia and Manic haven't gotten as mature as me and weren't ready. They don't know how to lead people either unlike me. I've lead four different teams from the age of five to the age of eighteen. Me and uncle Chuck lead the Freedom Fighters, we were their spy and lived in hiding at Robotropolis while I was their weapon when I got older and faster. When me, Sonia and Manic met each other and created Sonic Underground and I lead that, when I left and we created Team Sonic I lead that then when it was something big and needed all four teams together I lead Sonic Heroes." she said and looked at him. "I know how to protect and take care of people after we took Tails in and looked after Sonia and Manic when we worked together."

He nodded.

"Makes sense." he said. "I'll help you pack."

She nodded and they packed.

So close together

The next day Sonic was right outside the door holding Tails.

"Please don't go!" Tails said and cried hard.

"I'm sorry buddy, I have to." Sonic said.

A few minutes later she hugged everyone but Shadow who looked at her quietly.

"Tell Sonia and Manic I said hello please." Knuckles said and she smiled and nodded.

"Will do. She really misses you." she said.

"I miss her to."

Then they let go and she started running to Mobotropolis.

And when I'm with you

Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Rouge and Shadow stood there quietly watching her run.

Tails was still crying and Knuckles was holding him close while Rouge did the same for Cream and Cheese.

Then Shadow Chaos Controlled home.

"Where's he going?" Amy asked.

Rouge stood there holding Cream and Cheese thinking.

"I don't know." she said.

"Probably going to celebrate she left." Knuckles said.

So close to feeling alive

When Shadow got there he was in his room then he laid down and started crying a little.

"Why'd you have to go Faker? I love you."

A life goes by

Sonic was at the castle in her room unpacking when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." she said and Aleena came in. "Oh, hi mom."

"Hello Sonic. You have a good run?" Aleena asked smiling.

"Yeah, I broke Tails and the other's heart leaving but Knuckles understands."

She nodded.

"You know why you left." she said and Sonic nodded.

"I'll be at dinner in a few minutes. I just have to get changed." Sonic said and Aleena nodded then left.

When she was gone Sonic sat down and sighed.

"Alright, let's get used to this." she said then got up, got changed and went to dinner.

Romantic dreams must die

When she sat down she saw Sonia and Manic fighting a little and shook her head then sighed.

"Must you two fight?" she asked and they stopped. "We're triplets yes but still! We're eighteen years old and me, Tails and Knuckles never fought!"

They all looked at her in shock.

"The only person I really got into a fight with is Shadow, but he's my rival!"

They nodded and started eating quietly.

Aleena and Chuck looked at each other surprised at what she can do now.

So I bid my goodbye

After dinner Sonic and Aleena were in the throne room talking.

What day do you want to do your coronation?" Aleena asked.

"I wouldn't mind if you gave me a week to readapt to the town and being a princess." Sonic said and Aleena nodded smiling.

"Alright."

Then Sonic left and headed to town to remind herself where everything is.

And never knew

The next day they were at Tails' Workshop everyone sitting there quietly thinking about Sonic.

Knuckles was thinking about Sonic, Sonia and Manic.

"Do you think she got there?" Tails asked.

"I'm sure she did." Rouge said. "She probably used a Sonic Boom after she was far enough away."

They nodded then looked at Knuckles.

"Knuckles?" Tails said and he jumped.

"What?" he asked.

"You OK?"

"Yeah, just thinking." he said and they nodded.

"What are you thinking about?" Amy asked.

He said nothing but looked at them.

"The day I left my friends and the person I love."

They looked at him in shock.

So close, was waiting

"Who?" Cream asked.

"I'm not ready to tell you, but I can tell you this. It's not Rouge." he said and they nodded.

"Rouge wasn't happy but knew she had no control over who he loves.

Waiting here with you

Then they saw Shadow a little out of it to.

"What's wrong with you?" Rouge asked.

"I feel like it's my fault she left. After the way I treated her over the years." Shadow said.

They looked at him.

"Why would it be your fault?" Tails asked.

"I don't know. I hurt her over the years and yelled at her other times. While at other times we worked together. Especially if it's a Super."

They looked at him.

"The last time we were Super was the Meterax fight two and the last one we had with Silver was the Mephiles fight last year."

And now, forever, I know

"You ready, Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"All set. Let's finish this!" Shadow said.

They closed their eyes and absorbed the power of the Chaos Emeralds, letting them turn them into Super Sonic and Super Shadow.

They prepared to fight Final Mova. Cosmo watched while Cream and Cheese ran outside.

"What's going on?" Cream asked.

"Shadow and Sonic are teaming up to stop the Metarex." Cosmo said as they flew inside the crack of Final Mova.

On the Blue Typhoon second bridge Chris joined the others.

"They'll be okay. I hope..." he said as they flew in and out of Final Mova, allowing it to finish splitting.

It glowed intensely.

On the Crimson Egg.

"Yay! All right!" Decoe, Bocoe and Bokkun said.

Eggman was shocked as many clouds surrounded the area where Final Mova once was.

"Something is wrong." he said.

In space.

"The energy levels are starting to reverse! Hm... It seems like it's imploding now." Eggman said on the voiceover.

The clouds moved away. Now Final Mova had the appearance of a black planet. Phase Three had begun. Everyone was shocked.

"Foolish hedgehogs! With the help of the Planet Egg, you have indeed prevented me from transforming the galaxy..." Final Mova said and Super Sonic and Super Shadow floated down to battle it. "...but you can never win this battle. If the Metarex can't rule the galaxy, then we will destroy it!" he said and laughed.

It pulsated with massive energy.

On the Blue Typhoon the reading are off the charts.

"The pressure inside that thing is growing fast!" Tails said.

"What's Dark Oak tryin' to do?" Vector asked.

"I know. He's producing a huge gravitational force, because he's trying to crush the Planet Egg." Chris said.

"But why is he doing that?" Knuckles asked.

"Imagine it's like a big balloon, and you keep on squeezing it tighter and tighter. You know what happens sooner or later, don't you?"

"It goes bang!" Charmy said.

"Hold on. Are you telling us that thing's going to explode?" Espio said.

"I'm afraid so." Chris said.

"That sounds bad." Rouge said.

In space Cosmo looked on with dread as black energy pulsed out of it.

"Dark Oak really is trying to destroy the galaxy." she said.

Super Sonic and Super Shadow spun toward Final Mova and tried to penetrate its energy, but it is so strong that nothing was done.

On the Crimson Egg.

"Isn't there anything we can do to help break through that gravity field?" Bokkun asked.

"Well... I've got one plan that involves you robots, but you won't like it. When you were built, I put special self-destruct circuits inside your bodies in case of an emergency such as this. I could set you off to break through the gravity field." Eggman said.

"But Dr. Eggman, that would destroy us too!" Decoe said.

"And besides, that gravity field is really powerful, so it would take a huge amount of energy to break through!" Bocoe said.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"Good point!" Decoe said over the radio.

"Eggman... please don't carry out that plan." Chris said.

"Don't worry; I won't. The explosion wouldn't be strong enough to penetrate through the field." Eggman said.

"Don't you have another plan up your sleeve? We're running out of time here!" Knuckles said.

"You claim to be a scientific genius. This would be the perfect time to prove it to all of us." Rouge said.

In space Super Shadow started to remove his limiters, but was stopped by Super Sonic.

"Don't use that ring yet! In a few seconds, we're gonna need all the power we can get. Listen up, everybody!" she said.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"Our only hope of saving the galaxy is to throw all the energy we've got into this gravity field in one shot." she said on voiceover. "Use the Sonic Power Cannon and launch me at it!" he said on the screen.

"It's way too risky! We've never launched you from the Power Cannon before when you were Super Sonic. We don't have any idea what'll happen to ya!" Tails said.

"That gravity field's extremely powerful, Sonic. If you smash into it, the force could be too much for your body to take!" Chris said.

"You mean to tell us there's a good chance Sonic won't even survive the attack?" Knuckles said.

"She can't do it! We have to come up with another plan!" Amy said.

In space.

"I don't know if I can save the galaxy, but I have to try!" Super Sonic said.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"And there's no way anybody's gonna talk me out of it, so save your breath. Now are you gonna help me or not?" she said on voiceover.

"Let's do it." Chris said while Amy just started.

"Great!" Super Sonic said on voiceover.

Chris ran over to a computer.

"I'm routing all the energy in the network to the Power Cannon." he said.

"We only have one chance to break through that field. We'll need all the energy we can get." Tails said.

On the Crimson egg.

"Prepare to transfer all power to the Blue Typhoon." Bocoe said.

"Cutting off the ship's energy supply now and sending it to the Sonic Power Cannon." Decoe said and turned the lights off as the Blue Typhoon did the same.

"Be honest, Doctor. I wanna know what you think. Does Sonic have a chance at saving the galaxy?" Bokkun asked but Eggman didn't know what to say.

In space.

"I'm so nervous I can't even look." Cream said.

"I feel helpless..." Cosmo said when her amulet glowed.

"Cosmo." Earthia said and was seen. "This is the moment we've been waiting for. You can help save the galaxy and our clan if you only believe in yourself."

"This is why I was sent here..."

"Are you okay?" Cream asked.

"I understand now. There can be peace in the galaxy, and I have the power to make it happen, Cream." Cosmo said to Cream.

"What do you mean?" Cream asked but she only smiled as she levitated into the air, amulet glowing. "Where are you going?"

Cosmo allowed her amulet to break apart. She started to enter her own stage of Mover Mode. The flowers in her hair started to bloom.

On the Blue Typhoon Cream and Cheese returned to the bridge to report the news.

"No! Come back!" she said crying.

"What's wrong?" Tails asked.

"Cosmo's out there to stop Dark Oak!"

In space never before had Cosmo looked more beautiful, with blooming roses and a mature appearance. Super Sonic saw this.

"Why are you here?" she asked as Cosmo flew toward Final Mova.

"Mother, I feel really happy now because I finally know what my purpose is!" Cosmo said to herself and easily penetrated the energy field. "My friends mean more to me than anything. That's why I give up everything to save them." she said to herself and started to merge with Final Mova as it glowed brightly.

A single rose petal floated by.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"What's she doing?" Tails said.

In space a beautiful cherry tree with many cherry blossoms appeared atop Final Mova, it roots spreading halfway across the artificial planet.

"Cosmo, you can transform and pass through the gravity field. In your new form, you will be like me. Your destiny will be fulfilled. You have the power to stop Dark Oak, and bring new life to our clan." Earthia said surprising everyone.

It spouted a few rose petals outward. One floated near Sonic. The spirit of Cosmo appeared.

"It's all right. I have Dark Oak immobilized. Now you'll be able to destroy the Metarex and save the galaxy. Don't worry about me. Just fire the Power Cannon now." she said.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"But if we fire the cannon, what'll happen to you?" Chris said.

"If she says not to worry, I have to trust her." Tails said.

A single tear fell on the ground. Now that he was alone, Tails hesitated before pressing a button, pulling up the targeting computer. His hand is on the trigger, but it grieves him to pull it.

"Tails, we must act immediately! Prepare to fire the cannon at my command!" Eggman said over the radio.

In space Super Sonic took off toward the Typhoon.

"Plug cannon into place and take aim." Eggman said on voiceover.

While dusty, the Sonic Driver is activated. Super Sonic flew into the cannon. Everyone looked out the window sadly.

Amy and Cream hugged each other, sobbing. Super Sonic was ready to be fired.

"Get ready, Sonic." Eggman said on voiceover.

Super Sonic looked up to see that Super Shadow was joining her smirking. Then they spun at an insane rate inside the cannon.

On the Crimson Egg.

"Sonic and Shadow are attacking together!" Bocoe said.

"Which means this blast will be twice as powerful!" Decoe said.

Energy was drawn into the cannon.

On the Blue Typhoon.

"Here goes..." Chris said.

Even Knuckles closed his eyes in grief.

"Sonic Power Cannon, fire!" Eggman said on voiceover.

On the bridge.

"Roger!" Tails said.

He tried to pull the trigger, but couldn't bring himself to kill the one he loved most.

"Tails, I know this is difficult, but the galaxy is in danger, and time is running is running out! You must fire now!" Eggman said over the radio.

"I-I can't..." Tails said as he shook his head. "What about Cosmo...?"

"She knows what she's doing. Cosmo is carrying out her destiny. She was meant to save the galaxy, and we have to help her."

Tails looked up at the beautiful cherry tree that was Cosmo.

"But you're my friend, Cosmo. I'm sorry, but I just can't do it." he said when the spirit of Cosmo reappeared.

"Trust me, Tails... You have to fire. It's the only way to save all of us." she said.

"I trust you... but you mean a lot to me... I don't wanna lose you, Cosmo."

"You won't, Tails. You'll defeat the Metarex, and spread the seeds of my clan through the galaxy.

"I believe in you, Cosmo."

There were several flashbacks, including Cosmo bandaging Tails, Tails and Cosmo in the Lake of Love, Cosmo watching Chris pointing out a planet, Cosmo finding a Planet Egg, Sonic and Cosmo watching new seeds grow, and Tails and Cosmo looking up at the moon.

"Your friendship has meant a lot to me. I wish we could spend more time together, but I understand; this is your only hope to save the galaxy and bring your clan back. I'm sure your seeds will find a place to grow and find a new home."

"Good luck, Cosmo, and goodbye." Tails said and opened the safety and pressed the button, firing Super Shadow and Super Sonic at Final Mova… and Cosmo.

The blast was so strong that it destroyed the Sonic Driver. Super Sonic and Super Shadow manage to completely destroy Final Mova, Dark Oak, and the Metarex once and for all. A few more cherry blossoms float by.

"Thank you, Tails." spirit of Cosmo said and she spun around a few times. "I'll never forget you." she said and vanished.

All that I wanted

Super Sonic and Super Shadow destroyed Final Mova and Cosmo. Amy and Cream cried their eyes out as the others stared in shock.

"Oh no! Cosmo!" Cream said.

"Cosmo!" Tails said grieved.

As cracks form in Final Mova, Lucas opened his eyes.

"Earthia was right. My thirst for power destroyed my people, and brought nothing but pain and suffering to the galaxy." spirit of Lucas said ad a bright light appears in front of him.

"Lucas." someone said and he looked up to see the spirit of Earthia. "It is over now. The galaxy is saved."

"Earthia. I feared I'd never see you again."

"We have a second chance now, Lucas. The time has come for all creatures to live in peace, including you and me." she said and extended her hand to him, and he took it.

He became like her, white and glowing and they faded away together.

Meanwhile, everyone couldn't peel their eyes away. Amy, Cream, and Cheese cried uncontrollably; they had known Cosmo the best out of everyone. The screen fades to white as Final Mova was destroyed. The spirit of Cosmo appeared.

"Thank you all for your friendship ... Before I met you, I didn't believe in myself. My clan was wiped out by the Metarex. I felt like I was helpless and couldn't do anything to stop them. But because of you, I learned that I didn't have to stand by and watch the Metarex take over." she said and her eyes opened. "I could do my part to fight back, and help restore my clan." she said as a single petal fell off of one of her roses. "I just wanted you to know that I'm happy now because I fulfilled my destiny."

On the Blue Typhoon second bridge.

"Remember, I will always be with you." she said voiceover.

Tails sat alone on the floor, his namesakes curled around him, grieving his loss.

"Don't be sad, Tails." she said and he looked up to see Cosmo. "Whenever you miss me, just look for me right here beside you." she said and bent down to him and kissed him as he fades.

In a space flashback during the heat of the explosion...

"Goodbye, Cosmo..." Super Sonic said to herself then she and Super Shadow used one of their moves.

"Chaos…" Super Shadow started.

"Control!" they said together using Chaos Control and Cosmo shed a few tears.

"The seeds of my clan will spread through the galaxy and find places to grow. I'm at peace. Now... goodbye." spirit Cosmo said.

On the Crimson Egg.

"No! No! The Planet Egg is about to release its power! We have to get out of here! Activate Emergency Egg Drive!" Eggman said.

"It is impossible to go into warp space." Decoe said.

"Nothing on this ship is working, including the engines." Bocoe said.

"We don't have power, remember?" Bokkun said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Eggman said. "It slipped my master mind." he said and they laughed.

Back in space.

"If the Planet Egg lets out all its energy, the others won't have enough time to get away. I have to move! CHAOS-" Super Sonic started but suddenly Super Shadow punched her in the stomach. "Hold on, Shadow!" she said but collapsed and fell toward the light as Super Shadow removed his limiters.

"Sorry, friend, but I'm taking over. After all, we wouldn't want you to hurt yourself, now would we?" he said smiling a little. "Chaos Control!" he said and Final Mova was Chaos Controlled away.

To hold you so close

After getting Elise back up, Super Sonic turned to Shadow and Silver and transformed them into Super Shadow and Super Silver. The trio of super transformed then flew up to combat Solaris.

"We got this guys, we're some of the strongest people here. It's four against one." Super Sonic said.

They nodded and started.

Super Shadow, Super Silver and Super Sonic tried to go through it.

Finally they were done.

Then Solaris' light orb was giving off bursts of light and everyone was celebrating their victory. As a bright light enveloped everything, a white flame formed in a black void.

Sonic and Elise were floating in a black void.

"Did you destroy it?" Elise asked and a white light appeared.

"...No. That is the true Solaris." Super Sonic said and they moved into the light.

Then there was a flashback where a young Elise and the Duke of Soleanna watched Solaris' original form, a small white flame, in its casing.

"Look, Elise. This is Solaris, the flame of hope." the duke said.

"It's so beautiful..." Elise said.

"When the flame has grown large enough, our world will change. Solaris will allow us to control time and move through history. People will be able to rectify past mistakes and avoid bitter fate."

"Will we be able to see momma?"

"Yes, Elise. We'll both be able to see your mother once again." the duke said and they left Solaris.

Then it came back to the present where the present Elise and Sonic were approaching Solaris' casing.

"This is where everything began. Who knew such a tiny flame could bring such devastation?" Elise said and took out Solaris and its candleholder. "If we put out this flame, Solaris will never exist, And then we'll never have to worry about the Flames of Disaster, right? But our encounter... You and I will never meet. It will never have happened. I... To tell the truth, I don't care what happens to the world!" she said and cried.

"Elise. Just smile." Sonic said.

Elise smiled and Sonic assured all will be fine. Elise softly blew out Solaris.

So close to reaching

Then he sighed and shook his head.

"After all the things we did together I treat her like junk." he said.

They looked at him seeing guilt in his eyes.

Then they heard a knock on the door and then a letter on the ground.

They looked at each other confused so Tails got up and grabbed it then brought it to the others and opened it.

That famous happy end

Dear friends of Sonic,

I'm pleased to inform you that you have been given permission to Sonic the Hedgehog's coronation next week. Next Friday after at 1.

Queen Aleena

They sat there in shock at what they just read.

"Should we go?" Tails asked.

"I'm definitely going. I want to see my friends." Knuckles said.

'This might be my chance to apologize and tell her I love her.' Shadow thought.

"Same here." he said.

Then they all agreed.

Almost believing

A week later they were sitting in the church and Shadow was nervous.

'What is she never forgives me and doesn't love me back?' he thought then heard the music start so came back and watched.

This one's not pretend

"Verðug dróttning stór

Hjarta af gulli skína

Kronum þik med vánum, ást ok trú

Fagra, grýttur land, heimr Árnadalr

Fylgið dróttningu ljóssins"

And now you're beside me

Aleena, Chuck, Sonia and Manic were smiling watching him to take the crown at that young.

And look how far we've come

"Do you, princess Sonic of Mobotropolis take your place as king of Mobotropolis and promise to take care and protect Mobotropolis?" the priest asked.

So far we are, so close

"I will." she said.

Oh how could I face the faceless days

Then Aleena came with his crown removed and now in his hands.

If I should lose you now

"Do you my daughter Sonic Hedgehog promise to look after all of Mobotropolis' villagers? Give them food, water and homes?" she asked.

We're so close to reaching

"I will." Sonic said smiling and Aleena put the crown on her and Sonic held onto the Sovereign's orb and Scepter and looked at everyone still smiling. "The Church of God and all the people would hold true peace under his rule. He would forbid acts of robbery and iniquity. He would uphold justice and mercy in all judgments." she said.

That famous happy end

"Queen Sonic of Mobotropolis." the priest said.

Almost believing

"Queen Sonic of Mobotropolis." they all said.

This one's not pretend

Sonic smiled and looked at the others smiling.

Then they headed to the party.

Let's go on dreaming

While the party went on Shadow and Knuckles stood there looking at the others.

"Let's do it." Shadow said and Knuckles nodded.

"This might be the last chance we get." Knuckles said and they walked up to them.

For we know we are

Sonic, Sonia and Manic were with Tails, Amy, Cream and Rouge talking when Sonic and Sonia felt a tap on the shoulder and turned around to Knuckles and Shadow.

"May I have this dance?" Knuckles asked smiling and bowed at Sonia.

She giggled a little and took his hand.

"You may." she said.

He smiled then took her to other people and started dancing.

"Like he said, may I have this dance?" Shadow asked looking at Sonic.

"You may kind sir." Sonic said and curtsied.

Then they slowly took hands and went to Sonia and Knuckles and joined them.

So close, so close

While they danced they looked at each other along with Knuckles and Sonia then stopped and got closer.

Everyone stopped and looked at them while Tails, Amy, Cream, Rouge and Manic looked at them in shock.

And still so far

Sonic and Shadow and Sonia and Knuckles looked at each other.

"I love you." Shadow and Knuckles said.

"I love you to." Sonic and Sonia said.

Then they kissed.
