Chapter Two
Memories
When Rouge got back to her apartment she walked into her bedroom and began to take off her black clothes, she undressed, then put on a small purple robe, she then went into the bathroom to run a hot bath.
As she was waiting for the water to run she stared out of the window, all through the funeral she had been thinking about how much the Team had missed Chris and were so upset he had died, but she thought, non of them could be as upset as she was about Shadow, she remembered how they had fought against the metarex in the final battle and how she had had to just stand there and try to hold back tears as she watched Shadow use Chaos Control to warp the Explosion away from the ship.
Flashback
As they had managed to defeat the Metarex, Cosmo had sacrificed herself to weaken Dark Oak's planet, but now the planet was about to explode and the ship that the Sonic team, the Chaotix and Eggman's team were on were right in front of it.
Sonic and Shadow were hovering near it, Sonic had realised what was about to happen and was about to Chaos Control it away, but before he could complete his sentence Shadow punched him in the gut making him float away from the exploding planet.
Rouge had been watching, and she realised what Shadow was about to do "NO!" she thought "NO! Shadow you're making a big mistake!" But Shadow had already performed the chaos control and had warped the planet away into the distance.
As the exploding planet vanished, everyone stared in awe. The whole ship was silent until Vector broke it, "Hey what just happened?" "Where's Shadow?" asked Charmy. Everyone began wondering the same thing until a flash shone in the distance far away. Everyone stared at it for a long time as it glittered like a large star.
"I wonder what happened?" said Espio "he used Chaos Control" said Rouge; her heart began to beat in her chest at the thought of what might have happened to Shadow out there. "It must have taken all the energy he had left" said Knuckles, "Shadow…" Rouge whispered trying to fight back tears that began to form in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Chris stared at the glittering light and sniffled as he thought of Shadow who may have risked his life to chaos control the explosion away from them. Meanwhile Tails stood at the top of the ship looking at the light thinking about his lost friend Cosmo; he then turned around to see Sonic walking towards him looking very serious.
"Sonic?" he asked he then stepped away from the blue hedgehog as he walked closer to him, "erm…Sonic" he said sheepishly "I know you're mad at me but…." Sonic didn't speak instead he got hold of Tails's hand gently and placed something into it. "Here Tails" he said, he then shut his eyes sadly "sorry…."
Tails looked at what was in his hand as Sonic spoke "I looked for Cosmo, but this is all I found" Tails stared at his hand, what Sonic had put there was a tiny white seed. "A seed" he said tearfully. Tails then burst into tears and leaned on Sonic "oh Sonic" he sobbed "why did this have to happen? It's just not fair! Now I'll never see her again! SHE WAS MY FRIEND!" Tails couldn't speak anymore, he just sobbed and sobbed, and Sonic held him close "I miss her!" Tails sobbed "she can't be gone!"
Meanwhile Rouge stared at the bright lights, "Shadow…" she whispered "how could you do this? I know you saved our lives, but why did you have to go? Why did you sacrifice yourself? Why did you leave me behind?"
End Flashback
Rouge felt her tears beginning to fall again, she them remembered when she was in Eggman's base and she had been standing looking at where Shadow's pod was when he was in a deep sleep and how she missed him even more.
Flashback
Rouge stood there standing at the pod for a long time, she folded her arms and tried to hold back tears, "Shadow…" she thought inside her head "why…? Why did you have to give your life to save us? Why did you? I miss you so much…"
As she was daydreaming, she heard Eggman appear at the doorway "I can't believe it!" she heard the doctor say, Rouge turned to face him a bit shocked "You're worried about Shadow aren't you?" "Of course not!" said Rouge facing away from him and trying to sound like she didn't care. "I don't give a hoot about what happened to that hedgehog!"
"Is that so?" asked Eggman, "well I'm not at all concerned about Shadow" "he was designed to be the ultimate creature by my grandfather Dr Robotnick, who was almost a great a genius as me" Rouge walked away from the empty and walked towards the fat doctor" so…" she said softly "where do you think he is?" the doctor raised an eyebrow at Rouge. Rouge narrowed her eyes "hhmmm, he knows something" she thought.
End flashback
Rouge then turned away from the window and walked towards the bathroom, she could smell the relaxing lavender flowing from the door. She inhaled deeply letting the hot lavender scented air fill her lungs.
She walked over to the bath and unveiled herself, she then stepped inside, as she lay down, she let the hot water cover her in its embrace. She closed her eyes and let the scent of the lavender fill her nostrils. "Shadow…." She whispered "Oh Shadow, even though I'm grateful you saved us from the metarex…I still miss you like hell…" she lay back and closed her eyes, letting the water cover her more, and her hot tears trickle from the corners of her eyes.
Hey everyone! I'm back! I promised I would be! France was great, but it's good to be back!
Here's my update on Missing You, I watched most of the Sonic X episodes to try and get the script right, I did make some changes, but there we go.
Hope you enjoy it!
