Enjoy! Sorry the chapters are getting short…and the story is getting boring…
Chapter Nineteen:
The Lost Are Always Found…Eventually
The three Mobians walked on and on before finally reaching the base of the mountains. Knuckles kissed the familiar road. "YES! You can see the cabins from here!"
Tails squinted and muttered to Shadow, "He must have really good vision because the cabins are little dots."
Shadow chuckled and suddenly a chopping sound cut through the air. They twisted around and Knuckles hopped onto Shadow's back. "HERE! HERE!"
The helicopter landed and Sonic and Silver ran out. "Buddies!"
Sonic hugged Tails. "I thought I lost you!"
Tails whacked him away. "You idiot, you didn't follow me!"
"Come on," Silver laughed. "If you guys kept walking into the mountain by the time the sun set, we were calling it quits and that you guys were eaten by the bears."
"Gee, thanks," Knuckles said as he climbed aboard the chopper with Silver and Sonic.
Tails got on as Shadow sighed. "I just want my Amy Rose."
Scourge leaned against the boulder with closed eyes as the girls were inside, waiting. He knew they'd find them sooner or later but a nagging notion in the back of his mind said, "What if?"
He shrugged the thought away and seemed to meditate.
What am I supposed to tell the girls when the sun goes down and my friends come back empty handed? Maybe they have the guys. Maybe the guys are still lost—no, they have them. No, they don't—NO! They-
Scourge stopped thinking as a noise slashing through the air.
The helicopter…it's coming back early.
Hope surged through his chest and mind while he stood up and looked up to the sky. The black chopper landed across the creek. "GIRLS!" Scourge tried yelling but the noise was cutting him off.
The girls came out to investigate the racket. Amy's eyes lit up and she wore her big grin like usual when the engine cut off and Shadow waded through the creek. The girls raced towards their boyfriends, all minus Fiona who stayed at the bank with Scourge while the short reunion took place.
Amy jumped up and wrapped her legs around Shadow's waist while he held her.
"I'm sorry," she whispered and kissed up his neck before kissing his lips roughly and passionately.
Shadow obliged and kissed back. He pulled away to breath and say, "I'm sorry, too, Rose. Sorry for ever walking out on you. I promise I won't ever do that again, no matter what the situation is."
Amy smiled and ran her fingers through his quills.
"I didn't know what I would do without you," Cream whispered into Tails' chest.
"Don't worry," Fiona waved her off. "The lost are always found…eventually."
"Where were you?" Blaze asked Silver.
Silver wiped his nose. "Ahhh…."
Tails chuckled while hugging Cream. "Nowhere in particular."
"Just wait until you hear our story!" Sonic got out of the water with his friends following.
Amy giggled. "Wait until you hear ours."
"Hey, guys, aren't we missing something?" Knuckles asked while Alicia tried to speak.
Rouge shrugged and cut Alicia off who didn't even get to say a syllable. "I don't think so."

Manic put his feet in the water. "I think we should walk back."
"Fine," Vector stood up. "Let's go."
The four Mobians left, with a group of cows following them all the way to Cabin 13.
