Chapter 8 – See You

The next morning tails was setting up the machine that would send me home. Amy was crying and Knuckles was asking if I had seconded thoughts. I got the feeling that I would see them again soon so I said that I regretted nothing. When the machine was up and running my eyes where starting to fill up with tears.

"I am so going to miss you so if you get hurt I will kill you understand that." Amy said, her voice still wavering.

"I will remember that." I said starting to cry. Amy and I hugged and I moved on to Knuckles.

"Now you I will never forget" I said.

"And I won't forget you, that is positive." He replied. I hugged him, I did not think he expected it but he hugged back. When I went to Tails, he surprised me.

"Maria, You are a great friend and I am sorry I did not get to know you better." He said.

'Oh Tails, I will miss you too." I chimed, the tears where running down my face when he hugged me. I hugged back. He made me think of my little sister, so dependent of me, the reason I am going back. When Tails let go I walked over to Sonic

"I probably wont be able to h-hug you now, r-right" I said stammering. Sonic closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

"Maria, You are something." He said. I looked at him

"Sonic…"

"Just give me a hug" As soon as he said that I hugged him that and I think he regretted saying that. I walked over to the machine, and I looked through it. All for of them where watching me.

"How do I get through?"

"Just walk up to it, it will take you in." said Tails.

"If I call you, will you come?"

"We can only come if there is a problem" said Knuckles. I nodded my head

"I will miss you all so much" I said.

"And we will miss you too" Chimed Amy.

"Sonic" I said.

"Hum" he replied

"Thank you so much" I said.

"Maria, you are welcome" He said. I made sure I had the phone and I walked in to the machine. When I walked out I was in my room.

"It worked, I am home." I said. I don't know why I was talking, I knew I was all alone. I taped my pocket, the phone was there I pulled it out and saw that I did have service. I took it and I put it in my purse, just in case.

"I don't think I will need it so it will just be a comfort thing" I said out loud, and with that I left my room to face my family.

The End
