Hiya peoples! I am sad to say that this is the last chapter of the story... :'( I have enjoyed every second minute hour day month breath touch-of-the-keyboard of writing this story! You all have been the best readers in the world, and I wouldn't trade that for anything! I bet most of you forgot that the story was a giant flashback... (unless you have seen the movie) Soooo this chapter focuses on the future! Speaking of the future...

After having an amazingly awesome conversation with Sonamy Lover, I have decided to change the theme of my next story! Insted of making a story just about how Layla came to be and how she is the second ultimate lifeform and blah blah blah... my next story is going to be a high school drama! :D Maybe after the high school story I will make a story about Layla... but she WILL be in my next story! Already have a plot written... pretty much stayed up all night writing one because I'm so excited! :D At the bottom of the chapter will be a little sample of how the story will begin! :D

Here is the final chapter of Phantom Hedgehog of the Opera! Have a frabjous day! Enjoy! :D

Chapter 16: Love Never Dies

Opera Populaire 1919 (abandoned)

Delicately holding the shining royal blue chaos emerald in his lap, Sonic formed tears in his eyes in the memory of that night as the green echidna wheeled him back out to his car to make one final stop before heading home.

A sense of nostalgia engulfed him after seeing Cream for the first time in 50 years. The night of Don Juan Triumphant, after the Phantom almost killed him, Sonic and Amy ran away together, letting Amy's singing career take off and creating a new life for the couple. They married young, and moved into Sonic's mansion which he inherited from his wealthy family. It was nice to see Cream, because before they fled the scene, they didn't even have time to say goodbye. Of course they tried to plan a visit, but never got around to it in fear that the Phantom would still be there; waiting.

Sadly, Madame Vanilla was long since dead, and Cream was getting around the age as well. Unfortunately, so was Sonic. Trying not to think about it, Sonic focused his eyes on the exciting store windows as the car passed them. One window happened to catch his eye: a jewelry store.

Inside the display window, were the pieces of jewelry that Amy wore on her debut night. Everything was there; the large diamond necklace, the huge chandelier earrings, and even the beautiful diamond flowers that she wore in her quills. Standing in front of the window was a young couple of two hedgehogs. The silver hedgehog saw that his mate, the lavender cat was getting cold out in the snow, so he put his jacket around her shoulders. The purple cat blushed, grabbing his arm to make him stop walking, she quickly kissed him on the lips, making him blush too.

Watching the couple brought tears to his eyes, remembering the night on the rooftop when he expressed his love for Amy. The memory of their long kisses and sweet melodic singing were now things of the past. Slowly, the car pulled away, heading out of the city and down a long dirt road.

So many thoughts rushed through his mind during the car ride, but the only memories he had at the moment were sad and depressing. Quietly, the old car crept to a stop, and the green echidna got out of the driver's seat, and opening Sonic's door, wheelchair ready for him to climb in. Carefully, he climbed out of the car with the chaos emerald in hand and into his most hated wheelchair. The last time he was here, he was saving Amy from once again being taken by the Phantom.

The sign on the front gate read East Mobius Cemetery, and was once again covered in a blanket of snow. As he wheeled along, Sonic swore he could hear an angelic tenor in the distance singing.

"Did you hear that?" Sonic's elderly voice croaked out to the green echidna.

"Umm… hear what Mr. Sonic, sir? Are you feeling okay sir?" he asked politely.

"Oh…" he sighed. "Never mind then…" Sonic heard it again, but decided not to say anything so that he didn't think that he was going crazy.

A few moments later, the green echidna spoke up, "Here we are sir. I'll give you a couple of minutes alone…" he trailed off. Slowly and carefully, Sonic stood up from his wheelchair and hobbled over to a large tombstone.

The grave was sadly marked Amy Rose the Hedgehog. Tears cascaded from Sonic's face as he collapsed to the ground in paining memory of his love. The date on the tombstone was marked March 14, 1849 – January 12, 1919. The date was January 14, 1919, only 2 days after her passing.

Clutching the chaos emerald, he lightly put it down next to the enormous tombstone, when suddenly something caught his eye. Sonic looked down next to the emerald to find a red rose with a black ribbon tied around it. Around the ribbon was a diamond ring: the one the Phantom gave her when he almost forced her into marriage all those years ago…

In front of the rose were freshly planted foot prints which trailed towards the back of the cemetery. Sonic gasped, and quickly looked in each direction in a search for who he knew layed the rose. After no sign of him, Sonic sighed in defeat, about to conclude his visit.

"I love you Ames… I miss you, but I know you're in a better place. One day, we will be together again… goodbye my love…" he said, with tears running off of his cheeks like waterfall as he slowly limped his way back to his wheelchair.

Hiding behind Amy's tombstone, was a certain black hedgehog.

"I will always love you Amy Rose…" he mumbled to himself, "no matter what."

OH MY GOSHNESS! I'M FREAKING DONE! :D In the movie, I was annoyed that they just finished zooming into the rose, and not leaving showing the Phantom... so I decided to end my story that way! :D Sorry if you don't like the ending... but you could always just imagine that you never read this chapter and that the end was with Sonic and Amy running away together! :D
